Chapter 58: Robbery

Inn, room, lamp flickering.

Zhang Xingyu and Hu Siping took out the stones and examined them again by the lamp light.

The white stones were smooth and round, the black stones were angular, the green stones were rough in texture, and the red stones were crystal clear.

No matter how you look at them, they look like common stones in mountain streams.

Hu Siping looked for a while, yawned, and went to bed to lie like a corpse.

Zhang Xingyu wouldn't give up and picked up these stones to examine them carefully again.

White stone, ordinary stone.

Green stone, ordinary stone.

Red stone, ordinary stone.

Black stone, ordinary stone.

Wait, black stone. Uh, the material of this black stone is somewhat similar to that system black diamond in my own God Court.

The difference between the two is that this stone is smaller, has no cut surfaces, and doesn't glow.

Hmm, if there's a problem, find the system.

Zhang Xingyu closed his eyes and called the system in his mind.

"System, system, are you there?"

"Ding dong, host, what are you yelling about? Don't you know that disturbing someone's dream is shameful?" the system replied coldly.

"You are a system, how can you dream?" Zhang Xingyu asked in surprise.

"Ding dong, uh, this system is sleeping, and every time you wake me up, it consumes a large amount of God Yuan value. So don't call this seat, uh, this system, for no reason," the system explained.

Zhang Xingyu was anxious to have the system help him and didn't notice the system's slip of the tongue.

"System, I have an urgent matter to find you this time. It's like this, a soul-sucking demon appeared outside Nanhua Cheng, and my friends and I went outside the city to investigate, and found that there was a big rock every certain distance on the mountain road..." Zhang Xingyu introduced the ins and outs of the matter to the system.

"Ding dong, host, don't be long-winded, get to the point quickly. After hearing you finish, this seat is afraid I'll fall asleep again," the system prompted.

Zhang Xingyu was speechless.

Recently, this system has become more and more strange.

It doesn't speak in a calm tone anymore, but instead is becoming more and more like a person, like a stingy profiteer.

"System, help me see what is special about these stones, okay?" Zhang Xingyu asked while picking up a stone.

"Ding dong, okay, identifying ordinary items consumes one point of God Yuan value each time, identifying special items consumes five points of God Yuan value each time," the system replied.

What kind of system is this, it's clearly a profiteer!

Zhang Xingyu muttered to himself.

"Ding dong, system prompt, the host cannot use insulting or sarcastic words to treat this system. If violated, one hundred points of God Yuan value will be deducted each time. Given that this is the host's first violation, this system is magnanimous and will not pursue it." The system's voice sounded again.

"I..." Before the word "Sun" could come out, Zhang Xingyu shut his mouth.

"System, can you know what I'm thinking?" Zhang Xingyu asked in surprise.

"Ding dong, of course I know. At any time, anywhere, every moment, the host's words and actions are under the control of this system. Even the host's desire to woo the first beauty of Nanhua Immortal Academy, Fairy Yunxi, this system knows clearly," the system replied, its voice filled with pride.

"Sun." Zhang Xingyu couldn't hold it back anymore and cursed out loud.

"Ding dong, host used insulting language, violating this system's regulations, one hundred points of God Yuan value deducted." The system's voice sounded quickly.

"I..." Zhang Xingyu finally held it back.

Sigh, I'm doomed in the future! Someone installed a monitor in my head, and all my personal privacy is gone.

Zhang Xingyu raised the white stone in his hand: "System, help me see, what is special about this white stone?"

"Ding dong, an ordinary stone, the main component is silicon dioxide," the system replied.

"Then what about this green one?" Zhang Xingyu took out a green stone.

"Ding dong, an ordinary stone, the main component is basic copper carbonate," the system replied.

"Ding dong..." When identifying the black stone, the system's voice stopped.

"System, system?" Zhang Xingyu shouted.

The system didn't answer.

"What's going on? Could it be that the system crashed, or the system lost power?" Zhang Xingyu felt puzzled.

After a long time, the system's prompt sound finally sounded again.

"Ding dong, a Soul-Sucking Stone, the main component is @*amp; amp; #."

"Soul-Sucking Stone? Is it a stone that sucks people's souls?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Ding dong, Soul-Sucking Stone, produced in the God Realm, the main function is to absorb divine souls, it is a precious material for making God Artifacts," the system replied.

Zhang Xingyu was shocked: "Wow, a material for making God Artifacts, so awesome."

Then, he was ecstatic in his heart: "I found more than a dozen such stones this time, isn't that making a fortune?"

"Ding dong, host, the number of Soul-Sucking Stones you found is too small to be made into a God Artifact," the system poured cold water on him.

Zhang Xingyu's mood fell from the peak to the valley instantly.

After a while, his mood finally returned to calm.

Forget it, although it can't be made into a God Artifact, it is ultimately a material for making God Artifacts, so it should be very valuable.

"Ding dong, host, put the black stones together, this system will identify them for you all at once," the system prompted.

That's fine.

Identify them all first.

Zhang Xingyu picked out more than a dozen black stones and piled them into a small mountain on the table.

"Ding dong, congratulations to the host, all black stones are Soul-Sucking Stones. Identification complete," the system said.

Sure enough, they were all Soul-Sucking Stones.

Zhang Xingyu looked at the black mountain on the table and couldn't help but laugh loudly.

It seems that I, this traveler, also carry a protagonist halo.

Going for a stroll on the mountain, I could get materials for making God Artifacts.

"Making a fortune, making a fortune..."

Zhang Xingyu was obsessed, and his drool wet the floor.

After a while, he came back to his senses.

Soul-Sucking Stone, good stuff, I'll put it away first.

Zhang Xingyu was about to reach out to pack up the Soul-Sucking Stones, but found that his body wouldn't listen to him.

What the hell?

At the same time, a black diamond drilled out from between his eyebrows.

The system black diamond stopped above the table, and then emitted a golden light that shone on the small mountain piled up by the Soul-Sucking Stones.

A moment later, the Soul-Sucking Stones turned into streams of light and flew into its cracks.

After taking away all the Soul-Sucking Stones, the black diamond drilled into Zhang Xingyu's eyebrows again.

Although Zhang Xingyu's body couldn't move, he could clearly see all of this.

He was furious. He roared in his heart: "System, you bandit, you robber, you stole my God Stones, I'm not finished with you."

The system ignored his roar.

In the center of the God Court, above the God Sea.

The black diamond was shaking incessantly.

Its surface was getting redder and brighter.

A moment later, it became a burning sun, and the light it emitted illuminated every inch of the God Court's space.

The light lasted for a moment, then gradually dissipated.

The sun turned back into a black diamond again, hovering above the God Sea, motionless.

Zhang Xingyu felt that his body belonged to him again.

He stretched his arms and kicked his legs, finding no problems, only then did he feel slightly relieved.

The next moment, anger ignited his heart again.

"System, system, come out. You robber, come out." Zhang Xingyu roared at the system.

"Ding dong, host, please stay calm, you cannot use insulting language again, otherwise, this system will punish you severely," the system replied.

Perhaps feeling guilty, it actually didn't deduct Zhang Xingyu's God Yuan value.

"Calm, calm your sister! Did I say anything wrong about you? You controlled my body and stole my Soul-Sucking Stones. What else could this behavior be if not a robber?" Zhang Xingyu was furious.

"Ding dong, host, it's not stealing, it's borrowing. These Soul-Sucking Stones are somewhat useful to this system, so I'll borrow them first. In the future, this system will guide you to find Soul-Sucking Stones ten or even a hundred times more than these," the system defended.

The anger in Zhang Xingyu's heart lessened slightly: "Really or fake? You ghost system, you aren't lying to me, are you?"

"Ding dong, absolutely not. This system speaks with integrity, and this system's promise is solid gold," the system replied.

"Fine. I'll believe you one more time. However, you must remember, you absolutely cannot do something like today again. Do you know, taking without asking is stealing, taking when knowing it's not allowed is robbing. Robbery is a very vicious type of crime."

Although Zhang Xingyu was reluctant, he had no choice but to accept his fate.

He knew that since the system had already taken the Soul-Sucking Stones, it was definitely "a meat bun hitting a dog, never to return."

However, warning it and knocking it down was still very necessary.

Otherwise, this ghost system might do something out of line next time.

"Ding dong, this system promises, it definitely won't rob," the system replied.

"You're sensible. System, what do you use my Soul-Sucking Stones for?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Ding dong, host, come into the God Sea and take a look, and you'll understand," the system replied.

Zhang Xingyu closed his eyes, and his divine sense came above the God Sea.

Eh! This system seems a bit different from before.

The cracks on the surface seem to be smaller.

"System, it seems that the damaged parts are much better?" Zhang Xingyu asked.

"Ding dong, host, those Soul-Sucking Stones were used to repair the cracks," the system replied.

Zhang Xingyu rolled his eyes: "System, because of me, you got quite a few benefits. Do you have any compensation for me?"

"Ding dong, host, didn't this system promise to help you find ten times the Soul-Sucking Stones later?" the system said.

Zhang Xingyu pursued relentlessly: "System, what you said is too far away. Can you give me some compensation now?"

The system was silent.

After a while, the system's voice sounded again: "Ding dong, host, this system can help you ignite the God Fire for free. The premise is that you save up ten thousand points of God Yuan value yourself."

"Deal." Zhang Xingyu agreed immediately. ===== CHAPTER 59 =====
