章 2: Chapter 1: Martial Arts Inheritance System_2

"Who are you?" Qing Yu asked doubtfully.

"The system is named 'Great Martial Arts Inheritance System', it exists for the inheritance of martial arts, and you, are the current host," the voice replied in a standard mechanical tone.

"So, you're my Golden Finger?"

"You could say that," the system replied.

"What can you help me with?" Qing Yu asked impatiently. Regardless of whatever purposes this so-called 'Great Martial Arts Inheritance System' had, as long as it could help him, that was good enough for Qing Yu. He was tired of a prison life so isolated he didn't even have fellow prisoners.

"The system can provide the host with the inheritance of all characters from the worlds of martial arts. Host, do you confirm to activate it?" the system still replied in its mechanical voice.

The flat mechanical voice made Qing Yu's veins bulge and his heart rate accelerate, he urgently said, "What are we waiting for? Turn it on now."

"Wait a moment. Before activating the inheritance, please choose your future path."

"Righteous Sect, or, villain."

"Although it seems clear, to be safe, system, you'd better explain what the differences between the two paths are," Qing Yu calmly asked the system at that moment.

"It's simple, the two paths represent the life choices of the host in the future. Choosing the Righteous Sect path means all inheritances will come from Righteous Sect characters. Likewise, choosing the villain path means all inheritances will come from villain characters. The ways to acquire inheritance points, the methods of inheritance, and the content of related tasks also differ," the system explained succinctly and clearly.

"Then I choose the villain path," Qing Yu said without hesitation. "Do I even need to think about it? Except for a few works, in most works, the combat power of villain bosses is higher than that of the protagonist. If the protagonist wins against the villain, it's either by good luck or because the villain dies talking too much. With my luck, having obtained the system, I guess it's already overdrawing my luck for the rest of my life. As for other Righteous Sect characters? What are they? Righteous Sect characters win only because they have the protagonist, right? As for those so-called Righteous Sect leaders, if they aren't killed by the villain boss to enhance the villain's credibility, they are hidden bosses. Villain characters definitely have a higher value than Righteous Sect characters," Qing Yu thought to himself logically.

"Ding, the host has chosen the villain path. Inheritance points changed to Villain Points, the host can obtain Villain Points through villainous actions, inheritance characters are from villain characters."

"System, how do I accept the inheritance?" Qing Yu asked.

"The host can participate in a monthly character card lottery, character cards drawn will be within the same realm as the host, for example, if the host's strength is in the Postnatal Realm, the character card's strength range will be from Postnatal First Layer to Ninth Layer. The system will occasionally release tasks, the host can earn Villain Points by completing these tasks. Every 100 Villain Points can be exchanged for one low-level lottery, every ten low-level lotteries can be exchanged for one intermediate lottery, and every ten intermediate lotteries can be exchanged for one high-level lottery. The super lottery cannot be exchanged and can only be obtained by completing system tasks. The lottery includes all objects and character cards from the villain characters of the martial arts world, divided into six levels (one-star through six-star), low-level lottery can draw unranked to one-star prizes, intermediate lottery can draw two-star to three-star prizes, high–level lottery can draw four-star to five-star prizes, six-star is Breakthrough Level, only super lottery can draw," the system elucidated at length.

"Then how many lotteries do I have right now?" Qing Yu seriously asked after listening.

"System startup, gift one low-level lottery. Additionally, there is one monthly character card lottery."

"Draw them all for me," Qing Yu waved his hand dramatically, having waited this long just to get some help.

"Initiating monthly character card lottery. Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing a one-star character card—Duke Lu Ding, Wei Xiaobao.

Name: Wei Xiaobao

Realm: Non-stream

Item: Special Strong Lime Powder, Short Pistol (comes with three firearm bullets), golden silk vest, Mystic Iron dagger

Martial Arts: 'Divine Transformation,' 'Beauty's Three Moves,' 'Hero's Three Techniques'

Evaluation: Villain among the protagonists, protagonist among the villains. PS: A weakling among villains, a loser with a combat power less than 5, it was not easy to find a character matching the host's realm."

A character card appeared before Qing Yu's eyes, framed in copper, similar to the General Card from Three Kingdoms Kill in his previous life. From the top to bottom on the left side, it read 'Duke Lu Ding, Wei Xiaobao,' six characters on the right were a picture of a character in a Daqing Duke Official Uniform, looking like a small delinquent, and below the picture were the items and realm introductions.

"Is Wei Xiaobao considered a villain too? Right, the so-called meaning of a villain is not being a good person. By Wei Xiaobao's actions, he is certainly not a good person. But, system, your evaluation seems a bit cheeky," Qing Yu said to himself as he looked at the character card floating in midair.

"What is this realm about?"

"This realm is about martial arts. It is divided into six realms, Postnatal, Innate, Divine Origin, True Pill, Divine Communication, Tao Realm. Below the Postnatal is the Non-stream, Postnatal Realm corresponds to Non-stream and one-star, Innate Realm corresponds to two-star, and so forth," the system explained.

"It seems I'm really trash. Oh well, continue with the lottery."

"Initiating one low-level lottery. Ding, congratulations to the host for drawing a one-star character card—Dragon Knight, Yin Zhiping.

Name: Yin Zhiping

Realm: Postnatal Fourth Realm

Item: None (only displays obtainable items)

Martial Arts: 'Quanzhen Heart Method,' 'Quanzhen Swordsmanship,' 'Golden Wild Goose Skill'

Evaluation: If I could absorb resentment, I would have become a Buddha long ago. Decades of resentment, from several generations of people, concentrated on one body, the most cursed villain character in the history of martial arts (verified)."

Looking at the character card's introduction in front of him, Qing Yu's mouth twitched slightly, "System, as cunning as Li Shizhen. By the way, how does one inherit from this character card?"

"The world of villains has no etiquette or courtesy, only the law of the jungle. To use the character card for inheritance, the system will open a mental space, manifesting the spirit body of the character for the host.

Inheritance method: Defeat him, kill him, and you will obtain everything you want from his corpse.

Failure: Killed by the opposing character. Spiritual weakness for one day, the weak have no rights, the character card will permanently disappear."

The system's voice remained cold as ever, but its words couldn't hide the bloody reality. At that moment, the villain path finally lifted its veiled facade in front of Qing Yu, unveiling its cold yet powerful essence.

"Truly, it's quite brutal. But, it suits me just fine," Qing Yu's mouth formed a cold arc. His sudden illness and death in his previous life, the life of a beggar in this life, and the confinement he had endured, had long since turned his heart cold and hard. Choosing the villain path was not just because villain characters had more value than those from the Righteous Sect, but also because Qing Yu knew that he was not fit to be a good person, and even if he chose the Righteous Sect, he wouldn't be able to fulfill the roles required by the Righteous Sect path. He might have a moment of kindness, but he never minded using any means necessary to achieve his goals.

"My stomach is really hungry, let's go have dinner first." Unbeknownst to him, it was already the time when the moon hung over the willow tops outside. Qing Yu chuckled and turned to prepare dinner. The coldness that had briefly appeared on his face seemed like an illusion, yet his movements carried an ease and composure that he had never possessed before.
