Chapter 2: Obtaining a Cultivation Technique

"Ding! The host has followed the advice and obtained one Ordinary Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun looked at the System Backpack, where a black treasure chest had appeared, and his mood was somewhat excited.

According to the system's classification, treasure chests are divided into five grades: Ordinary, Fine, Rare, Legendary, and Supreme! Although what he obtained this time was only the lowest grade among the system rewards, for him right now, anything could become a straw to clutch at.

So, without a second thought, he mentally clicked to open the treasure chest.

"Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the cultivation technique: 'Breathing Technique'!"

The black treasure chest in the backpack space vanished instantly, replaced by an antique-looking book that appeared to be a secret manual.

With a thought from Lu Yun, the manual opened immediately, and its contents instantly surfaced in his mind.

Just as he had guessed, this was indeed a secret manual! Moreover, the content of this manual was very simple, and with the system directly instilling the content, he mastered it very quickly.

"Such a simple cultivation technique, it must be a very low-level method of cultivation!"

Lu Yun was somewhat disappointed, feeling that his luck didn't seem to be very good.

But when he took a glance at the Transmigrator Chat Group, he was suddenly dumbfounded.

Chen Hai: "What the hell is getting a dagger from a Novice Gift Pack? Where is my system?"

Fang Wenjie: "I haven't even mentioned that I got a torch, damn it!"

Lin Yan: "I'm going crazy! Can you believe I actually got lace? I'm in a doomsday world right now, what use is this thing!"

Besides them, there were also some newcomers who hadn't spoken up just now, all complaining one after another that they had obtained all sorts of miscellaneous items, which were completely different from what they had imagined.

By comparison, Lu Yun suddenly felt that having obtained a system and a cultivation technique from the system rewards was already ten thousand times better than them!

Of course, he also knew well that he couldn't show off now, so he chose to silently lurk.

However, he didn't think that only he had obtained a system or something useful; it was more likely that everyone else chose to keep a low profile.

Liu Chongxiao: "Getting lace is indeed the first time I've seen that, but, it can at least serve as a keepsake!"

Xiao Ling'er: "Honestly, it's been many years since I transmigrated and wore lace, I really miss it a bit!"

Jiang Ye: "Newcomers, this is reality! Of course, you don't need to be discouraged. Some people get good things, but if they don't have the fortune to enjoy them, it's equal to zero!"

Chu Xiong: "I'm quite curious, among this batch of newcomers, is there anyone whose luck exploded and drew a system?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire group went quiet.

Lu Yun hesitated for a moment, and just as he was struggling with whether or not to reveal that he had obtained a system, someone beat him to it.

Gao Yuntian: "Hahaha, I drew one! It's a treasure chest system! I'm about to take off!"

The newcomers who had just drawn all kinds of useless items, upon seeing that someone had actually drawn a system, were so sour they couldn't stand it for a moment.

Everyone is a transmigrator, why is the treatment so unfair!

Although some people were very sour inside, they started flattering Gao Yuntian in the group, looking like they wanted him to take everyone along to fly.

Gao Yuntian was naturally incredibly smug.

Lu Yun naturally didn't need to flatter the other party, and after observing carefully, he discovered that those flattering Gao Yuntian were all newcomers; none of the veterans had said a word.

Just at this moment—

"Ding! Gao Yuntian has died!"

Lu Yun: "???"

Chen Hai: "What the hell? What happened?!"

Lin Yan: "This... what is the situation???"

Fang Wenjie: "This is too sudden!"

The newcomers were all blown away!

Because all of this happened too suddenly. One second ago, this Gao Yuntian was still incredibly smug because he had obtained a system, with everyone flattering him.

As a result, he suddenly died? Yet the veterans were all very calm.

Xiao Ling'er: "Nothing to be surprised about, you'll get used to it."

Jiang Ye: "Didn't I just say, even if you get good things, if you don't have the fortune to enjoy them, it's zero!"

Liu Chongxiao: "What a pity for a good system! If only it were given to me!"

Chu Xiong: "Tsk tsk, a system is good, but you have to stay alive first to have the chance to enjoy it!"

Newcomers: "."

Without a doubt, everyone was thoroughly terrified.

They also realized more clearly just how terrifying the so-called Heavenly Condemnation Halo was!

If one cannot escape the heavenly condemnation and cannot survive, everything is empty! For a time, many newcomers stopped speaking up and began to observe their own situations, fearing that danger might suddenly descend.

Some newcomers who were just complaining about their bad luck suddenly felt that their luck wasn't too bad after all, at least they were still alive.

Lu Yun also suddenly snapped out of his daze.

He hadn't forgotten that he was still in danger of being devoured by Demons at any moment.

Quietly glancing in the direction of those few Demons, he discovered that in just this short moment, two more Demons had actually appeared, and they had now also joined the ranks of the struggle.

Fortunately, they seemed afraid that if they started fighting, they would harm him, their "food," so they had actually distanced themselves from him a bit.

Lu Yun quickly began to think.

Escape while taking the chance?

As soon as this thought appeared, it was immediately discarded by him.

He estimated that as soon as he moved, those Demons would immediately rush over and tear him to pieces!

And although he had now obtained a cultivation technique, it was impossible to achieve anything in such a rush!

"It looks like I still have to find a way from the system!"

Lu Yun thought of his system's function: he only receives rewards after completing other people's suggestions.

"In that case, I can only try to refresh some more tasks from the Chat Group!"

Consequently, Lu Yun gritted his teeth and asked a question in the group once again.

Lu Yun: "Big shots, the item I just drew was a cultivation manual, but I could be eaten by a Demon beast at any moment now. What should I do?"

As soon as these words were sent, they immediately caught the attention of quite a few people.

Liu Chongxiao: "You kid are something else; to actually obtain a cultivation manual right at the start is so much better than everyone else!"

Xiao Ling'er: "I'm envious! If only I had a start like that back then!"

Chen Hai: "I'm envious!"

Fang Wenjie: "I'm envious!"

Seeing that the group had started acting like a broken record again, Lu Yun hurriedly interrupted.

Lu Yun: "Stop being envious. Even though I got a cultivation manual, there's no time to practice it in such an urgent situation!"

Jiang Ye: "That's not necessarily true! In some worlds, the heaven and earth Qi is dense, and cultivation speed is incredibly fast. How do you know it won't work if you don't try?"

Chu Xiong: "Indeed! I remember a certain big shot in the group who transmigrated into a special Secret Realm in a Xianxia world, practiced a Fist Technique a few times, and ended up completing Foundation Establishment!"

"Ding! Received suggestion: Try practicing. Completion reward: Ordinary Treasure Chest!"

"Ding! Received suggestion: Practice the Fist Technique a few times. Completion reward: Fine Treasure Chest!"

Lu Yun's eyes lit up: As expected, the tasks were triggered! (End of chapter)
