In the laboratory, the two old silver coins were plotting their own schemes. Meanwhile, the central figure in all their plans—Dongfang Yao—encountered an unexpected turn of events.

"Ding! System loading complete. Congratulations on becoming the host of this system."

The voice in his mind was cold and mechanical, but to Dongfang Yao at this moment it sounded like heavenly music!

"System, you finally arrived, damn it!" Dongfang Yao was almost in tears. In the current situation, perhaps only the system could add a sliver of certainty to his future.

This immense joy allowed him to temporarily ignore the excruciating pain coursing through his body.

"Quick! Where's my newbie gift pack?" Dongfang Yao called out urgently. That's exactly what it says in novels, it's absolutely true.

"No!" The system's voice remained cold, making Dongfang Yao's heart sink.

"What about... a lottery?" he asked cautiously. He wasn't greedy; just a powerhouse experience card to take down those two old bastards outside would be enough.

"no."

"Then...what about the exchange shop? I'm willing to spend money...no, I'm willing to spend my life!" Dongfang Yao made up his mind. As long as he dared to give him the "spend your life" button, he would press it.

"No." The system's answer was as simple and straightforward as ever.

Dongfang Yao was utterly devastated. There was no newbie gift pack, no way to redeem anything, and not even a chance to spend real money...

"This won't work, that won't work. What can you even do? Garbage system!" Dongfang Yao was almost driven mad by the pain in his body, and he couldn't help but curse the system in his mind.

This is ridiculous! Is he going to become the shortest-lived system host in history?

"This system can lead the host to travel through countless worlds, obtain endless resources, and explore endless mysteries." As the system spoke, a list that only Dongfang Yao could see unfolded in front of him.

The worlds of Jujutsu Kaisen, One Piece, DanMachi... the long list of worlds made Dongfang Yao's eyes dazzled.

Normally, Dongfang Yao would have carefully considered and weighed the pros and cons. But now, with the situation so dire, he didn't have the leisure for such calculations. He needed to find a world that could resolve his predicament as quickly as possible.

Driven by an extreme sense of crisis, Dongfang Yao pushed his brain to its limits, focusing his attention on a single world.

"System, can I confirm the landing point when I travel to different worlds?" Just in case, Dongfang Yao still asked.

"Can."

"That's good." Dongfang Yao gritted his teeth, making a grinding sound.

"Target World: The World of DanMachi".

Teleport location: Orario.

"The teleportation function is about to be activated. The next teleportation will take place in 24 hours. Please confirm whether you wish to teleport."

"confirm."

The two old silver coins outside were closely monitoring Dongfang Yao's physical condition, while also being wary of each other. They were prepared to seize him as soon as he survived the experiment.

Suddenly, a blinding white light flashed before their eyes. When their vision returned, they found that the incubation chamber where Dongfang Yao had been was completely empty.

Dongfang Yao... has disappeared!

"Nani—"

......

"Is this... Orario?" Dongfang Yao looked around. The crisscrossing alleys, lanes, and corridors connected various buildings, forming a maze-like and intricate architectural complex.

Even so, Dongfang Yao still saw it there—the Tower of Babel, which seemed to pierce through the heavens like a pillar!

At this moment, Dongfang Yao finally realized that he had arrived in Orario, the famous labyrinth city.

Turning my head, I saw a handsome face reflected in the glass window.

Of course, that wasn't the most important thing. What attracted Dongfang Yao's attention the most were his own eyes—a blood-red hue, with two tomoe-like eyes like black swimming fish.

"Sharingan? I actually awakened the Sharingan?" Dongfang Yao was overjoyed. But before he could even celebrate for two seconds, a strange sensation swept over his body like a tsunami.

"Cough cough cough—"

Suddenly, Dongfang Yao let out a heart-wrenching cough, spitting out mouthfuls of blood. Dongfang Yao knew that his body was nearing its limit.

"We must find that goddess as soon as possible," Dongfang Yao muttered to himself.

If I ultimately fail to adapt, forget about the Sharingan, I'll lose my life, and everything will be for nothing.

Just as he got up to leave, he heard a suppressed, sinister laugh in his ear.

"Hehehehe, boss, what great luck today! I ran into such a gem as soon as I stepped outside. That skin...that face...tsk tsk..."

"That's right, that's right. I bet a lot of women will scream."

"Tsk tsk tsk, that's true. But don't you think this guy's body is a bit weak? Can he withstand the beatings of those female adventurers?"

"That's true... then send them to those rich ladies and heiresses. They like that kind of thing."

"Good idea..."

"What's wrong with those eyes? They're all red. Are they sick?"

"That's even better, eyes are a rare breed."

These words were laced with undisguised malice, causing Dongfang Yao to frown and turn his head to see five people walking towards him.

The man in front of him was around thirty years old, nearly two meters tall, with a full beard. A scar ran from his left eye to his lip. He carried a giant axe wider than his head on his back, exuding a fierce and ruthless aura.

The men behind him were either carrying longbows or had daggers at their waists, and their bodies were stained with blood, clearly indicating that they had just been through a fierce battle and were all elites.

The burly man carrying the giant axe noticed Dongfang Yao's cold gaze but remained unconcerned. Dongfang Yao was completely naked, and with the keen eyesight of adventurers, they could easily see that there were no sacred characters on his back.

What does this mean?

The other party has not yet received any favors and is a weakling who is not even as good as a novice adventurer.

For a guy like him, a mere LV.2 is practically a super boss among bosses. Why would he need to worry about the eyes of a newbie?

On the contrary, the angrier and more humiliated the other party was, the stronger his pleasure became, and he couldn't stop himself from enjoying it.

So he strode forward, bent down in front of Dongfang Yao, patted him on the shoulder and said, "Kid, you're lucky to have met us brothers. We're known for our loyalty, and we'll get you a stay at a noble mansion where you'll live the high life. Don't forget us when you've made it big!"

"Hahaha, that's right. Kid, you should thank us properly." The henchmen behind him laughed even more loudly and unrestrainedly.

Dongfang Yao trembled, not from fear, but from pain. But he gritted his teeth and said, slowly and deliberately, "Well, thank you very much."

"Hmm, kid, you're getting the hang of it." The burly man with the axe was even happier when he saw Dongfang Yao's "reluctant" look, and couldn't help but put his hands on his hips and laugh.

Yes, yes, that's it! That reluctant yet forced-to-compromise look in his eyes is just perfect!

However, just as he was laughing loudly, Dongfang Yao, who had been looking down, suddenly lunged forward. A sharp wooden splinter appeared in his palm and pierced into the opponent's abdomen through the gap in his armor.

"Pfft—"

The sharp blade pierced flesh, and blood spurted out.

The burly man froze, and his henchmen behind him were dumbfounded as well.

No matter how hard they racked their brains, they never imagined that this pale-faced, bean sprout-like young man would dare to launch a sneak attack. And he even succeeded!

A single splinter can defeat a Level 2? What a joke!

Despite their shock, they weren't in a hurry.

It was just a splinter; it didn't hurt anything vital and wouldn't kill their boss.

The one who should really be worried is that pretty boy. If he angers his boss, he'll suffer a terrible fate.

"Why bother? Wouldn't it be better to just cooperate obediently?" A group of people cast pitying glances at Dongfang Yao.

Sure enough, the next moment the burly man with the axe flew into a rage and raised his fist, which was as big as a casserole dish, to smash it toward Dongfang Yao’s abdomen.

He didn't dare smash it in the face, after all, that was the part with the highest added value. But giving this guy a lesson he'd never forget was still an option.

"Kid, prepare to be whipped by me." The burly man grinned maliciously, his powerful blows creating a gust of wind.

However, to everyone's surprise, the fist stopped just before it reached Dongfang Yao's stomach, his face contorted in extreme terror.

"Huh, what's the boss doing?" A group of underlings were wondering when they saw sharp spikes emerge from their boss's body, turning him into a hedgehog in the blink of an eye.

"Wood Release: Wood Splintering Technique." This is the power of Wood Release that originated from Hashirama's cells. After overcoming the initial period of adaptation, Dongfang Yao finally awakened this power.
