My CEO Harem Cultivation System

Chapter 218 - You Are Courting Death (2)



The Transmitter ordained from the Heavens stared at the Object of Heaven\'s entertainment and stared at him seriously. Every little inch of the creature\'s being was crawling with a sense of clear unease in their expression.

For both of their sakes, Bao needed to say this. 

Even though it may have wanted for the CEO to just suffer through it all if it had a damn choice, but similar to Li Yang, the two of them were akin to brethren in this fucking situation. 

"I don\'t want to say this—but you\'ll be courting death if you do this."

Li Yang wanted to say that the Panda was right—he was aware that when he told Chunhua that he\'d be saving her mother from the hands of death—it might as well have been a death wish of his own. 

Nobody in their right mind would have done this.

Li Yang still believed that he was capable of logical reasoning and understood the weight of this matter. The pros and cons, the risks involved in his decision seemed to naturally outweigh the rewards..

And yet like a man who still threw himself to the flames, he only shook his head.

Li Yang assessed the System\'s screen in front of him. The various items displayed themselves, but he only had one eye for a singular item and that was the Necromancer\'s Circle of Death.

"If I don\'t do this, then who will?" Li Yang asked.

"Nobody has to do anything—"

"It\'s my fault that she died." 

Li Yang stared at the screen, ignoring the creature as he focused on the amount of points needed to acquire the Necromancer\'s Death Circle. It was worth 30,000 points, but it was a trivial price compared to the chance of saving somebody else\'s life.

What were these points compared to life?

Why did he only even think of it now?

Had he been this callous before?

He tried to make sense of it all.

"I have this System with me and if I choose not to do a thing—what\'s the use of it?" Li Yang shut his eyes for a moment to gather his thoughts. "Even with the slimmest chance that I have, that\'s already enough motivation for me to do it. I need to do something to make everything alright, again. It\'s my responsibility to correct what\'s wrong." 

Bao stared at the CEO and wondered where this sense of accountability came from. In the creature\'s opinion, the woman was dead and was better off that way. So the Panda decided that he was an idiot. 

Bao raised a paw at him and scoffed. "I guess saving the mother\'s life is better than raising the kid on your own, eh?" 

Li Yang didn\'t bother giving the creature a reply. "How many points have I earned?"

Bao blinked. "Wait did you get points even while you were away—"

"I did, and I have them with me right now," Li Yang said. 

Bao ground its teeth.

The CEO only rubbed his chin and did the creature a favor by explaining his own conclusion. 

"The parameters to gain these points now seem a bit different from the previous Charm Points, albeit, I think that romance and sex-related tasks still earn me points. The patch update called it Power Points, but in the end, they\'re just points used to purchase commodities for me."

The System provided him with a small computed list of activities that he\'d done back at Telriah that warranted him points and the ones that he received until now. Even the ones from the Heavens laughing at his child\'s innocence.

While he didn\'t bother checking them before as he made the decision to only rely on points when necessary, the number of points still made him blink. 

Li Yang didn\'t imagine that he\'d accumulate that much throughout his entire time in Telriah and even his return here.

[ Total Current Points: 131,159 ]

And yet even with all of these Points available, Li Yang still found himself to be still at the bottom of the food chain. As the System might have said it—he would have been nothing in terms of combat if it weren\'t for its assistance.

Now once again, Li Yang took the opportunity to look at it and a certain part of him still found the System amusing even right now. Intentional or not, it truly functioned like an online store available in the market.

[ Confirm Purchase of Necromancer Death Circle? (30,000 Points) ]

"Yes," he said.

The \'suggestions\' were quick to appear in his vision. It was an attempt to make him think that he needed to purchase these items along with the one he planned to buy and they were all nice pitches. 

Excellent in a way.

[ It Is Recommended to Purchase The Following Items, Masteries and Skills  ]

[ Aroma of Death (10,000 Points) ] 

The Dead howls and rages against the living souls that walk the earth. Cloud yourself in the aroma of death to appease the undead from rising and striking against you.

[ Necromancy Knowledge - I (5,000 Points) ]

When dealing with the dead spirits that run afoul the earth, it is necessary to equip and arm yourself against their influence and understand the workings.

[ Wooden Mage Staff (2,500 Points) ]

A staff made from good magical lumber suited for spell-casting and a perfect equipment for Mages of various specialities. Good for beginners on the path of mage-hood. 

"This System clearly wants to milk me dry from all of my points, does it not?" Li Yang muttered to himself.

In the long-run, they were bound to be something that would prove him useful when he compared them to his current skill set. Li Yang might end up specializing in dealing with the undead if things were to continue this way. 

Or even becoming a Mage?

Li Yang shook his head and said, "Find me a better weapon for a swordsman-mage variant. Preferably something that turns invisible, or can\'t be seen by regular people at least."

The obsidian sword he bought before was already gone since his encounter with the Goddess Aurora so Li Yang needed it. 

[ Yao Slayer (5,000 Points) ]

A weapon built with the natural sharpness attributes to conquer and defeat yao (monster/demon) and can be imbued with the User\'s natural qi or energy to change the element of the sword.

Well, he didn\'t quite need to use magic anyhow. Or rather, it would be a waste to spend too many points in purchasing so many skills that were too focused on a specific class of enemy. 

If there was anything that he might need to obtain that was meant for a specific entity, then it was the borrowed Skill that he used back in Telriah.
