Gao Wu: Honey, don't cry, I'm truly invincible!

Qin Su was stunned for a moment when she saw the words displayed on the system panel.

Holy crap, I just remembered I have this talent!

I had just realized how overpowered the "one effort, a hundredfold reward" talent would be when paired with the "pay-to-win" talent, but because the "pay-to-win" talent was so overpowered, I completely forgot about it for a moment.

At this moment, the system's voice stunned Qin Su. She mentally calculated: 300,000 multiplied by 100 equals... 30 million?!

Thirty million kilograms of force? ???

With a power level of tens of millions, does that mean he can skip the Martial Marquis level and directly become a Martial King level?

This is already at the Martial King level?

Dude, isn't this a bit...?

【Ding! 】

[Quantity: 30 million kilograms, distributed, please check your mail!]

【Ding! 】

[Host's current martial arts level is: 30.7 million kilograms of strength, beginner Martial King level!]

Before Qin Su could react, the force of 30 million kilograms had already arrived. In an instant, he felt as if the entire Blue Star had become very fragile, as if he could shatter it with a single punch.

【Ding! 】

[Host's power is out of control. Do you want to activate the talent—get stronger by spending money, and spend billions of comeback points to barely regain control of your power?]

"Yes."

Without hesitation, Qin Su felt that his power was getting out of control. With his aura fully unleashed, things within a radius of several hundred meters around him were collapsing.

[Successfully consuming billions of turnaround points is strengthening the host's control over their power.]

[In progress............]

[Progress 20%...Progress 50%...Progress 100%...]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully achieved initial control over your power.]

【Ding! 】

[Should I continue to unlock the talent—get stronger by spending money, and continue spending money to achieve perfect control over my power?]

"Yes."

【Ding! 】

[A previous similar in-game purchase event has been detected, and this event has a higher priority and is replacing the previous similar in-game purchase event... Returning the comeback points deducted from the previous type of in-game purchase event...]

【Ding! 】

[This in-game purchase event is now underway. Important notes: 1. Every minute that passes will consume 100,000 Reversal Points. It is estimated that it will take fifteen days for the host to fully control their rapidly increasing power. 2. Without making in-game purchases, it will take the host three years to fully control their current surge in power...]

Consuming 100,000 comeback points per minute?

It will take another fifteen days?

An hour is 60 minutes, a day is 24 hours, multiply that by 15, meaning this wave will consume 2.16 billion comeback points...

hiss..........

With a talent that makes you stronger by spending money, the chance to turn the tide is really running out of resources...

Fortunately, the system provided a lot of opportunities for a comeback this time.

"Since we've already increased our strength, how about we increase our psychic abilities as well...?"

Qin Su pondered.

[Current mental power level: 400,000 kilograms, Level 4 Mentalist. Note that this level requires 1 million Reversal Points to increase by 10,000 kilograms of mental power. Advance now?]

That's equivalent to 100 comeback points, which is equivalent to one kilogram of psychic power.

It's not expensive.

"First, raise your mental power to one million kilograms, reaching the level of a fifth-tier mentalist."

[Upgrading...]

[Progress increased by 1%... Progress increased by 10%... Progress increased by 15%... Progress increased by 20%... Progress increased by 30%...]

Looking at the words on the system panel, Qin Su murmured, "This mental power is increasing rather slowly..."

After waiting for about four minutes, the progress displayed on the system panel finally reached 100%.

[Congratulations, host! You have successfully increased your mental power to one million kilograms by spending 40 million Reversal Points, becoming a fifth-tier Mentalist.]

Next comes the familiar process.

Qin Su simply nodded in agreement.

【Ding! 】

[Host's psychic power is out of control. Activate the talent—get stronger by spending money, and spend billions of comeback points to barely regain control of your power?]

【….】

【Ding! 】

[Successfully consuming billions of turnaround points is strengthening the host's control over mental power.]

[Undergoing enhancements............]

[Progress 25%...Progress 50%...Progress 100%...]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host. You have successfully achieved initial control over telekinesis.]

【Ding! 】

[Should I continue to unlock the talent—get stronger by spending money—and continue spending money to achieve perfect control over my telekinesis?]

【..........】

【Ding! 】

[This in-game purchase event is now underway. Important notes: 1. Every minute that passes will consume one million Reversal Points. It is estimated that it will take seven days for the host to fully control their rapidly increasing psychic power. 2. Without making in-game purchases, it will take the host one year to fully control their currently surging psychic power............]

【Ding! 】

[Host's current Reversal Points balance: 57717000000]

"There are still over 57 billion comeback points left. Spending these comeback points is so satisfying. Keep going..." Qin Su was getting a little addicted to spending money. The feeling of instantly improving as long as you spend money was just too good.

Next, he improved everything he could.

[Host: Qin Su]

[Planetary Level] Body Refining Technique.........

【..........】

Looking at her personal information panel, Qin Su let out a long sigh of relief.

He improved almost everything that needed improvement, and he also casually improved one or two less important aspects.

He currently has over 10 billion in his comeback points balance.

It's not all spent yet.

Qin Su suddenly felt a little empty, a little lonely, and a little cold.

After enjoying everything and indulging in all sorts of extravagance, I looked back and realized I still had a lot of money left. So this is what it feels like to be rich.

"Hmm, there are still over 10 billion left. Let's continue to forge our talent..."

Qin Su took a deep breath.

[The host's current talents include: (Special Talent - Automatic Mastery), (Special Talent - Becoming Stronger with Every Breath), (Special Talent - One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward), (Special Talent - Gluttony), (Special Talent - Becoming Stronger with Spending Money)...Would you like to proceed with talent forging?]

Looking at her existing talents, Qin Su hesitated, feeling that all of them were useful.

The ability to automatically master skills and the ability to reap a hundredfold reward from one's efforts—these two talents are undoubtedly very important.

Talent – ​​Get stronger by spending money. This talent was just acquired, and its strength is off the charts. It instantly propelled him to the Martial King level and gave him a comprehensive boost. There's no way I would use this cheat-like talent as material to melt down.

That leaves only the talent—Taotie, and the talent—Breathing—has become stronger.

Qin Su thought for a moment and decided that the talent—the Gluttonous Beast—could not be directly melted down as material, since this thing had a chance to grant him the talent of a source beast.

Even if the probability is very low, so far he has only obtained the "Gale" talent, which is basically a useless talent compared to the others.

However, for talent forging machines that need to use talents as materials, this Gluttony talent is very useful.

If you eat a source beast and develop a talent, and you have enough points to turn the tide, you can then perform talent forging and obtain a new, heaven-defying talent.

As for the talent—it makes you stronger just by breathing...

The previous system where you could become stronger by spending money on in-game purchases was no longer as effective as the current system where you could become stronger simply by breathing.

Hmm, this talent—getting stronger just by breathing—it could be melted down as material...

Should we use the talent—the ability to grow stronger with every breath—as a forging material and place it into the forging machine?

"Yes."

[Talent—Growing stronger with every breath—has been placed into the forging machine as forging material...Should you spend billions of Reversal Points to begin forging a new talent?]

"Yes."

【Ding! 】

[Talent forging in progress...........]

[Casting progress 20%...Casting progress 40%...Casting progress 60%...]

【Ding! 】

[Talent - Become stronger with every breath - exhausted. New talent successfully forged: Special Trader. Fusion desired?]

Special dealers?

What kind of talent is this?

Qin Su clicked on the details of the talent - special trader and took a look.

Those who possess this talent can sell any item in the real world to the system and exchange it for "comeback points."

So that's how it's used.

This talent is rather ordinary... wait, this talent...

Qin Su suddenly realized something, and her eyes lit up. No, who said this talent was just average? This talent is heaven-defying!

The only way he can earn comeback points now is by doing tasks. As long as the system doesn't release any tasks, he won't earn any comeback points.

Once you've used up all your comeback points, all you can do is stare blankly.

In particular, he now possesses the talent of becoming stronger by spending money! He has also melted down the talent of becoming stronger by breathing. If he doesn't have any comeback points in his account, he will be in a complete predicament. The talent—becoming stronger by spending money—is essentially a useless talent.

But with the special trader talent, things were different. His predicament disappeared instantly, and the whole situation was turned around.

From then on, he was able to gain a continuous stream of points for a comeback.

In this way, his talent for becoming stronger by spending money will be maximized.

"Fusion! I want this talent!"

[Integrating new talents.....]

【Ding! 】

[Congratulations, host! Your talent—Special Trader—has been successfully fused.]

Should we attempt our first transaction?

"Yes."

[The host currently has the following tradable items: a Tier 5 Gale Blade, one hundred Tier 6 Lightning Spikes, one hundred Tier 3 Fine Gold Short Swords, and a full set of Tier 4 armor...]

Qin Su looked at the items he could trade, which included not only his weapons, secret techniques, and martial arts skills, but also all sorts of cultivation resources. He could even trade his underwear, hair, and saliva with the system.

Just as the description of the Special Trader talent states, it allows one to trade all kinds of items.

Qin Su first sold one hundred third-tier refined gold short swords. Since he could now use sixth-tier lightning spikes, and he had one hundred sixth-tier lightning spikes, these refined gold short swords were naturally useless.

To his surprise, a Tier 3 refined gold short sword was worth three million comeback points, and a hundred of them would be worth three hundred million comeback points.

He sold everything he could and made billions in comeback points.

Then, a sudden inspiration struck Qin Su. "Wait, if I buy things from the system shop and then use my talent—'One Penny Earns a Hundredfold'—to exploit a bug, buying one item will be equivalent to buying a hundred. Then, using my talent—'Special Trader'—I can sell these items back to the system. Wouldn't I be making a profit equivalent to the price difference of ninety-nine items? Wouldn't that allow me to accumulate unlimited comeback points?"

[Thank you for the reminder, host. The system has fixed the bug. The items generated by the talent "One Point of Effort, One Hundredfold Reward" will not be recycled by the system.]

"......"

Qin Su felt like she had lost countless billions.

【Ding! 】

Before Qin Su could even regret not making a fortune in silence, the system notification sounded in his mind again.

[An unhatched dragon egg of the Star Dragon has been detected in the host's brain. This dragon egg has extremely high cultivation value. Do you wish to incubate and cultivate it? (Note: If cultivation is refused, the system will erase the existence of the dragon egg to help the host resolve potential risks.)]

Qin Su was stunned for a moment.

Only then did I remember what I was supposed to do on this trip.

So the gray egg in my head was the dragon egg of the Starry Sky Dragon?

hiss.........

The Star Dragon is a very powerful creature. It is said that when it grows up, it can smash a planet with a single claw.

A thousand years ago, human martial arts civilization had actually developed to a very high level after thousands of years of development, and at one point it was even able to suppress the source beasts.

But at this crucial moment, a young celestial dragon appeared in the starry sky.

Although it was only a juvenile star dragon, it was extremely invincible.

Those three short days were the most devastating three days in human history. Human civilization was almost brought to the brink of collapse, especially the mentalists, whose lineage was nearly severed by the Star Dragon.

If the star dragon hadn't eaten and drunk its fill and left Earth, humanity would probably be extinct by now.

That disaster has only just begun to subside for humanity.

That incident also made humanity realize how insignificant it is in the universe.

"If I could raise a celestial dragon, heavens..." Qin Su imagined himself riding on a celestial dragon and traveling through the universe, and couldn't help but gasp.

That's fucking awesome!

And it's so stunning!

Most importantly, once this star dragon reaches adulthood, he will have an extremely terrifying subordinate!

We must nurture this unhatched little dragon!

Qin Su began to feed the dragon eggs using her mental powers.

Surprisingly, the dragon egg was very voracious, and it quickly depleted Qin Su's mental energy.

Qin Su immediately purchased a potion to restore mental energy from the system shop. After repeating this process, and finally, after spending nearly a billion comeback points, the surface of the Starry Sky Dragon's egg began to show traces of cracks.

The dragon egg stopped eating.

Qin Su also stopped, curiously sensing the sensation.

He watched as the dragon egg of the Starry Sky Dragon grew increasingly cracked and dense.

"Pop..."

A soft sound.

A small hole appeared on the eggshell.

A golden claw tremblingly emerged from the hole, hooking downwards and making the hole appear larger.

Instead of breaking the shell, the little claws scooped up the peeled eggshell and put it back in.

Soon after, a crackling sound came from inside the eggshell.

"Is this... eating eggshells?"

The eggshell of the Starry Sky Dragon is composed of highly condensed spiritual energy and cosmic primal energy. Consuming this energy upon hatching helps the Starry Sky Dragon grow rapidly.

As soon as the system finished speaking, Qin Su saw golden light emanating from the hole in the eggshell, and the creature inside was actually expanding in circles.

The cracks on the surface of the eggshell were also being stretched more and more.

The holes are getting bigger and bigger.

Inside the eggshell, the sounds of the little dragon eating the shell grew more frequent, and its body swelled up.

at last.

"Click..."

The eggshell shattered completely.

A small golden dragon, no bigger than a palm, flew out from inside.

"hold head high--"

It let out a high-pitched dragon roar.

Before Qin Su could react, it had already vanished from Qin Su's mind and appeared in the real world.

Under the sunlight, its golden scales displayed a dazzling array of colors.

After circling Qin Su a few times, it stopped and landed on the ground. It tilted its head slightly, curiously looking around.

Of course, it wasn't long before its gaze fell on Qin Su. It waddled over to Qin Su like a free-range chicken, nuzzled her leg with its head, and showed obvious affection in its eyes.

Qin Su was taken aback for a moment, then scratched his head and said hesitantly, "This guy... seems to think I'm his father?"

Like many birds on Earth, the Starry Sky Dragon recognizes the first creature it sees after hatching as its parent. No need to pretend; it simply considers you its father.

Qin Su then noticed that the dragon cub was not only staring at her, but also licking its lips, like a greedy little dog, staring at her long, pleading tail.

Are you hungry?

Qin Su scratched his head and tried to summon a wisp of his spiritual power, placing it in front of the little dragon. The little dragon bent down, sniffed it, and then slurped it up.

Qin Su then clearly felt that the golden dragon cub looked at him with increasing affection, as if it had found a long-term meal ticket.

He even stuck out his tongue and licked Qin Su.

This doesn't look like a giant dragon; you'd think it was a puppy.

Qin Su was overjoyed and gave the cub another wisp of mental energy. Anyway, mental energy could be restored at any time, so it was not worth mentioning to him.

After consuming a wisp of spiritual energy, the cub became even happier and more affectionate towards Qin Su, nuzzling its head against her.

They're absolutely adorable.

It's hard to imagine that this is the terrifying creature that could slap the entire Earth to pieces in the future.

The Starry Sky Dragon possesses extremely powerful innate abilities. The host can attempt to establish a mental imprint with it, thus gaining access to its abilities. Once the dragon matures and reaches a state of mutual understanding, the host can fight alongside it, unleashing a combined combat power greater than the sum of its parts.

"Mind imprint...a technique of beast taming?"

Qin Su pondered for a moment and then made a decision.

Then let's do as the system says and imprint our minds on this giant dragon of the starry sky.

He also felt a little strange. If Instructor Wang from the Tianhe Training Camp, who had developed the Beast Taming Technique, knew that his first tamed beast was a Starry Sky Dragon, he would probably be dumbfounded.

"Sizzle—"

Qin Su cut her palm, smeared the blood on the golden dragon cub's forehead, then smeared it on her own forehead, before pressing her forehead against the golden dragon cub's. She began to mutter something rapidly.

Soon, a brilliant golden light began to shine from the spot where the man and the beast made contact...
