Chapter 2: Myriad Worlds Traversal System
"Host Su Chen, the Traversing the Myriad Worlds System, binding successful! The novice gift pack will be opened after the host successfully opens the spirit."
A sudden voice appeared in Su Chen's mind, making him start. At the same time, scenes from before his rebirth kept flashing in his mind, and he murmured in disbelief, "Could it all be true?"
Hearing his low mutter, the female teacher was obviously stunned, then grew even more angry and began to scold him……
But Su Chen didn't hear it at all; his expression dazed for a moment, now he could hardly tell which was reality and which was dream, those bloody scenes still kept appearing before his eyes.
"System, are the events ten years later really true? Could I have been reborn?" Su Chen tentatively spoke in his mind; he now doubted whether he was still in a dream, and didn't expect the system to answer him.
However, to Su Chen's surprise, that mechanical female voice sounded again in his mind: "Yes, host, everything before was real; the host has returned to ten years ago."
Su Chen heard the voice in his mind, looked at his desk mate Qin Ziyang, and pinched him hard.
"Ah! A-Chen, what are you doing? Did you go stupid?" Qin Ziyang cried out in pain, rubbing his arm that already had a mark and was turning red, looking at Su Chen with resentment.
The surrounding students suddenly stared at Su Chen with strange expressions, trying hard not to laugh. Meanwhile, the female teacher had already clenched her teeth, trying hard to suppress her anger; three seconds later, a thunderous roar rose in the classroom.
"Su Chen, get out!" As she said this, she saw Qin Ziyang trying hard not to laugh, instantly furious, and immediately continued: "Qin Ziyang, you also get out!"
Instantly, the smile on Qin Ziyang's face, who had been trying hard not to laugh, froze; with a mournful face he muttered, "What does this have to do with me……"
Outside the classroom in the hallway, Su Chen and Qin Ziyang were leaning against the classroom wall, whispering to each other.
"This has nothing to do with me, A-Chen; I'm suffering because I got dragged into this because of you!"
Qin Ziyang still had a mournful face, glanced at Su Chen who was beaming with joy, and said somewhat strangely, "A-Chen, why are you so happy today?"
Being reminded by Qin Ziyang, Su Chen came back to his senses, restrained some of his joy, then solemnly asked Qin Ziyang, "What year, month, and day is it today?"
For some reason, although he had been reborn ten years back, his mind was still muddled like paste. He could roughly confirm that spiritual qi had not yet revived, but he didn't know the exact time, so he asked his close friend Qin Ziyang to confirm, in order to prepare early.
Upon being asked, Qin Ziyang widened his eyes, walked straight up to Su Chen, paced a few steps around him, and looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost: "A-Chen, did you really go stupid? Or are you feverish?" He was about to place his hand on Su Chen's forehead as he spoke.
Su Chen somewhat unhappily brushed his hand away: "Cut it out, I'm asking you seriously! I dreamed of some things while sleeping today, my head feels a bit dizzy."
Seeing Su Chen anxious, Qin Ziyang turned around, continued leaning against the wall, glanced inside, saw the teacher not paying attention to him, then said: "A-Chen, it seems you really are addled; today is the year 3050, November 23."
Su Chen murmured: "Less than three days left……"
Being reminded by Qin Ziyang, his memory gradually cleared; he remembered that today was Friday, and November 26 was the day spiritual qi would revive, with the first revival point being an obscure scenic spot in Guinan Province, the southernmost part of Dahuaguo—Luoxian Shan.
"Three days is enough; I will go ahead and wait for the revival of spiritual qi."
Thinking of this, he turned his head and just happened to see Qin Ziyang looking at him with a strange expression,
Suddenly, a sour feeling welled up in his heart; he thought he would never see these people again.
Afterward, his gaze turned resolute; he silently swore, "This time I will definitely protect this world, but relying solely on myself is too difficult……"
Then he punched Qin Ziyang's shoulder and said, "I'll treat you to lunch today."
Qin Ziyang rubbed his slightly sore shoulder; hearing this, he stopped paying attention to the strangely behaving Su Chen today, his eyes lighting up as he shook Su Chen hard: "Really, A-Chen, then I want to eat…… scallion pancakes, two of them, no, I want to devour three……"
Su Chen felt his head dizzy from being shaken, about to say something, when two broken pieces of chalk, without fail, flew from the window behind them and struck the backs of their heads in succession.
"Su Chen, Qin Ziyang, stand properly! Still talking about scallion pancakes—I see you two as scallion pancakes!"
From inside the classroom came the female teacher's roar and the students' jeering laughter.
Qin Ziyang lowered his head helplessly, while Su Chen's face showed no other expression; instead, a warm feeling welled up in his heart: "How wonderful, this world!"
……
"System, open the system panel!" The third class was math; although Su Chen appeared to be sitting in his seat listening attentively, he was actually communicating with the system in his mind.
【System: Traversing the Myriad Worlds】
【System Ability: Traverse to Other Worlds】
【World Unlock Number: 1/???】
【Time Ratio: 100:1】
【System Space: One Cubic Meter】
【System Task: Not Yet Open】
【Host: Su Chen】
"I have no idea what's going on! System, what are your abilities?" Su Chen looked at the system panel in his mind, which only showed the most basic names, without displaying corresponding functions, so he could only directly ask the system.
"Host can traverse to any world at any time, each traversal will be matched according to the host's cultivation; upon arriving at a world, it represents successful unlocking of that world, after unlocking it, one can designate that world for traversal.
"If the host wishes to select point-to-point traversal, they only need to speak the number representing the world to traverse; you can click the world unlock number to view the world numbering."
The system's voice, devoid of any emotion, sounded again in his mind.
Upon hearing this, Su Chen's consciousness immediately tried to touch the world unlock number; suddenly, a soul-like illusion formed in his consciousness, a phantom spirit similar to him, and as he felt this wondrous scene, the phantom spirit's hands tapped the world unlock number.
【World Unlock Number: 1/???】
【World Number: 66666】
【Not Yet Unlocked World Number:???】
……
After clicking again, the system panel expanded once more.
【World 66666 Star Unlock Number: 1/???】
【Unlocked Star: Blue Star (Star 88888)】
【Not Yet Unlocked Star:???】
Su Chen saw this, pondered slightly; the text for the not yet unlocked worlds and stars was gray, and Su Chen tried clicking however, but there was no response.
He roughly understood that these already unlocked worlds and stars represented his own world and his own star.
When traversing, he can choose random traversal; after traversing, that world will be unlocked, and the planet he traversed to will also be unlocked, at which point he can choose directed traversal, freely moving between Blue Star and his newly unlocked star.
"Pretty human-friendly." Su Chen rubbed his chin, beginning to ponder the system's usage.
