章 6: Heavenly Dragon Sword

"Which one do you want to hear first? The pros or the cons first?"

"Of course the pros first, why do you want to hear the bad news first when you can hear the good news first! Are you dumb?" James looked contemptuously at Little Fluffy, as if he were an idiot.

"..."

Little Fluffy was speechless. Usually, someone will hear the bad news first and then the good news for some reason.

'Why is this host thinking the other way around? Even multiple studies have found that roughly four out of five people prefer to begin with a loss or negative outcome and ultimately end with a gain or positive outcome, rather than the reverse.' Little Fluffy thought so.

"The good news is that your little sister could bind with the system and use some of the functions that the other person couldn't use, for example:

First, the host could buy her a martial skill, technique, or skill and imprint it directly on her so that she doesn't need to learn it by herself.

Second, just in case she died, as long as the host is alive somewhere, the host could resurrect her for some price, and the other way around.

Third, the host could talk to her through the system regardless of the distance between both of you.

Fourth, the host could teleport directly to her regardless of the distance and circumstances (for example, if the host got trapped somewhere, etc.), and she could also teleport to you too.

However, the second and fourth ones have a cooldown time." Little Fluffy explained slowly.

"Hahahahaha, that's great. I fcking love you, system." James shouted louder than before and laughed like a maniac who had won a billion-dollar lottery.

"Does awakening talent hurt someone's head?" Minji looked in the direction outside the house while mumbling slowly, as she was a little bit worried that something might have gone wrong with her brother's head.

"Btw, the host hasn't heard of the bad news yet, don't be too happy for now." Little Fluffy reminded James.

"Ahem... let's hear the bad news then." James quickly went back to his calm self.

"Well, the bad news is simple, the amount to level up would be increased again." Little Fluffy said it plainly.

'Anyway, the amount has been increased before, what's wrong with increasing a few more? The most important thing is that my precious little sister can be resurrected without side effects, and there are a few good things aside, so why not?' James didn't really care that the amount to level up would be increased again.

"Okay, let's bind my little sister with the system then."

"All right, you just need to touch your little sister on the head, and I'll handle the rest. By the way, I forgot to mention that you've got a welcome gift pack in your inventory. You could open it and try your luck, maybe you'll become rich overnight, who knows?" Little Fluffy said with a mocking smile, thinking that James shouldn't have good luck.

"Okay, let's go inside to have a meal first. After experiencing the pain before, I felt like I needed a good rest." James stood up, and before putting his sword in its sheath, he heard the system's notification when he looked at his sword.

[Ding! You have discovered the Heavenly Dragon Sword (sealed)]

[Description: ???]

[Effect: ???]

"Huh?" James was dumbfounded as he looked at his sword, he hadn't expected that the sword in his hand was in its sealed state. However, judging from its name, it sounded badass.

Furthermore, he knew that this sword was not simple from the start, because there was no way the items that were left behind with them were simple.

Otherwise, how could the hazy figure give him the "system" and even tamper with someone's memory? Because he was sure from the beginning that some of his memory in this second life should be sealed too, or in the worst-case scenario, deleted for an unknown reason.

Anyway with the sword in its sealed state, his sword at the moment was nothing more than a sturdy and sharp blade.

He might as well go back to the house and check the other item's information too. Who knows, he might get a clue about why they were 'abadoned' here.

"Squeak!"

As James opened the door and was about to enter the house, he heard his little sister's voice."

"Brother, sit here quickly! I'm cooking two pieces of meat at the same time for us, and it's almost done."

"Okay, my little sister is the best, you even cook the meat for me." James walked towards Minji, sat beside her, and patted her head.

"Little Fluffy, go bind my little sister with the system." James ordered Little Fluffy 'telepathically'.

Not even a second later, Little Fluffy responded,

"Okay, done."

"That's it?" James was confused and relieved at the same time. He had prepared for the worst, like seeing his little sister cry from the pain and being prepared to comfort her.

"Of course." Little Fluffy said with a mocking smile.

"Minji, do you feel anything just now?" James asked her seriously.

"No, why?" Minji was puzzled and thought that her brother might really hurt his head while awakening his talent.

"By the way, brother, you said that we could leave this place once you become stronger using your talent. Is that true? Is your talent really that good? What is it?" Minji just remembered that his brother was awakening his talent and shouting so loudly that it woke her up.

James finally had time to brag about how amazing his talent was and that he had already bound her to the system, and explained everything about the system.

Of course, James reminded her a few times, with a serious face, not to tell anyone about this.

"Wow, that's really cool. Can you get a cute pet for me to play with, please??" Minji asked and looked at her brother cutely with a pleading look.

"Okay... okay, I will get a cute pet for you to play with, so that you won't be alone while I'm away." James replied while pinching her cheeks.

"Oh right, lemme see your necklace and see if there's anything special about it." James immediately grabbed the necklace from her neck.

When he saw the teardrop-shaped gemstone of a translucent purple color that exuded a peculiar purple radiance, James finally heard the notifications.

[Ding! You have discovered the Luck Tear Necklace.]

[Description:???]

[Effect:???]

When James looked at the system notifications, his guess was correct regarding the items that were left behind with them was mysterious.

The necklace was one of the items that he discovered when he first woke up, but he had ignored it at the time and only picked up the sword. Later, he let Minji wear it, because from the size, it's indeed seemed designed for her.

It's just that he still couldn't get any information from it, even though it's not in a sealed state like the sword did.

He suspected that the level of the item exceeded his system's current level.
