Congratulations, Host, I'm back at your service.
Fuck off, I need to sleep.
Zz…
Host…
…
"Young Master, wake up, everyone is waiting for you at the dining table."
Huh… let them wait for a bit more. I am still sleepy.
"Young Master…"
Suddenly, the door swung open by the little girl with black hair, sharp eyes, and clear skin.
She came to bed, snatching a blanket,
"How long do you plan to sleep?"
Just a few minutes more.
She grabbed my clothes, throwing me to the ground.
You…
"Now, wake up, come to the dining table in a minute or…" Saying in a dominating tone before leaving.
I should teach this brat a lesson. She is getting out of hand.
Hey, system.
Yes, Host, I'm back. Did you miss me?
Miss you… You mf run away, leaving this emperor at his worst.
Do you think your sins can be forgiven?
Host, did these mortals dare to bully you?
What the hell are you imagining? Can these mortals even bully this emperor?
Oh, forgive my ignorance, Host. I thought these mortals bullied you in my absence.
Stop being narcissistic.
This emperor was just bored for these few years. Do you even know how hard it is to be an infant?
These mortals are continuously surrounding me. I can't even breathe in free space just lying down and doing nothing.
Host, you seem to have easily passed these 5 years. Now, it's time to shine. Let these mortals see your divine self.
Hey, why hell are you blabbering so much? Tell me, what have you been doing these 5 years?
Host, in these five years, I have been analysing you to make myself worthy of your esteemed self.
And what did you upgrade? Is there any benefit?
Yes, Host, there is…
"Young master, it's getting late if you don't come out early. Young miss may come again."
Tell me later, I have to deal with these mortal affairs first.
As you wish, host.
Washing my face with cold water, I walked out of my room to see what the hell these mortals dare to ruin my sleep.
In front of the door stood a middle-aged woman, my mom's personal maid.
Is something special today?
"Young master, I heard immortals are coming to pick disciples today, that's why everyone is waking up a bit early. All of us have to wait for the immortals' arrival at the village square."
Oh, immortal arrival…
"Young master, every decade, immortals come to the village to pick disciples."
Well, let's have breakfast first, I'm hungry. Walking forward, I came to a dining table which could be called big, but was too crowded.
Everyone one looking at me, these mortals have already started to acknowledge this emperor's presence.
Lucky for them.
"Chen'er, why are you so late?"
Late me, you all are too early.
"Li Chen, is this the way to talk to your mother?"
'It's really tiring to argue with these mortals.'
Brushing past these annoying things. I moved forward, sitting on a chair. Eating bland rice with soup. What a disgrace. I lifted my face only to see all of them staring at me.
What are you all staring at? Shouldn't you eat before it gets cold?
Whole table…
…
I'm done,
I stood walking out of my chair.
"Wait…"
"Where are you going? Today, Immortals are coming into our village. It's a fate-changing opportunity that comes once in a decade. You have to be present there and show them proper respect."
I know I am going there. I will wait for you guys there.
Ok bye.
I quickly dashed out from there. Fully knowing that staying among these mortals will only ruin my mood.
"This child, what's really going on in his head hope he won't cause any trouble."
"Don't worry, Dad, I won't let him cause any trouble."
...
As I left the house, the outside was filled with greenery, and all the houses in the village were made of wood.
Though a bit old, and doesn't match this emperor's grace. Still, they gave calm vibes, a perfect place for vacation. I have already decided to make this place my backyard.
Today, there were hardly any people to be found, most likely all of them gathering in the village square for the immortals' arrivals.
Should I go there or walk for a bit?
Host, today, is your life-changing day, it's time soar into heaven.
What, soar into heaven are you again looking down at me?
Host...
Oh, I almost forgot, didn't you say you have an upgrade? Tell me, did you get any new features?
Host, I have upgraded myself now, I can talk more fluently and understand humans more.
That's it...
No, I also got an Immortals journey gift bag for you.
Oh, and what about your sin of leaving this emperor for 5 years? Did you think I would just take you back by my side? Just like that.
Host, this immortal journey gift bag minimum contains a purple talent, and there is 5% chance to get a golden talent.
To atone for my grave sin of leaving your majesty, I can increase the probability of getting golden talent by 10%.
What 10%... What hell did you take me for?
Host 10% increase is really big; it can only be seen in advance gift bags.
So, what do you think I am, a beggar who needs your 10% chance, even if you have me 100% chance to draw to golden talent, it's still not enough to forgive your sins.
But I am a benevolent emperor, so I will forgive you with only 5 gift bags with a 50% chance to draw golden talent, and all done.
What... 5 gift bags.
Host, it's a robbery, you're really asking too much, I can't give you 5 bags.
Then how many can you give?
Two at most with a 25% percent golden talent chance. Take it or I am leaving.
Hm... Okay.
Three gift bags with 25% golden talent chances.
I will show my benevolence. Let go of your sin.
Ok, deal.
Good, now give me my gift bags, don't forget to skip your shitty animation.
Hm... Here you go, host.
A translucent screen appears in front of me, highlighting 3 holographic cards: 2 in purple and one golden.
Hey system, why is there only one golden card? Did you lower the chances?
Host, don't accuse me of being unlucky.
Hmph,
Let's see what talent I have gotten.
Innate Sword Bone (purple): A talent desired by all pinnacle sword immortals. Increases sword comprehension by 1000 times.
Nature Affinity (purple): Let's Host blend with nature. Plants closer to the host have a chance of mutation, sometimes even awakening a spirit.
Heavenly blessed bond (Golden): Allow the host to form a bond with other people, exchanging all of their talents with a 100x boost.
Note: Host can only bond with 3 people at a time. One person is equal to 100x. Two people are equal to 10x. Three people equals 1x, just talent exchange, no additional buff.
What the hell with this golden talent? System, did you cheat me?
No, I didn't do anything; it all depends on your luck.
Then, tell me, shouldn't this golden talent should have to be useful to me? Or is it to help others?
Host, with its help, your talent will increase by 100x. I know, host, you may have been thinking, how can there be anyone in the world who can match your talent?
But even if you share your talent, you are still the only emperor. You can use this talent to create a fake emperor who will manage the heaven and earth in your place while you enjoy yourself.
After all fake emperor needed to be strong enough so no one could question him; this way it's a win-win for you. You can always break the bond whenever you want. He will be just a puppet controlled by you.
If you put it this way, yeah, it's really helpful. After all, as an emperor, I have a lot of work; if others can do it in my place, it would really save a lot of hassle.
Good, good... Finally, some useful talent.
Let's go to the village square, bless those immortals with this emperor's grace.
As I just started to move, a light yet familiar voice came from the side.
Woof! Woof!
A small puppy in black came to me, snuggling his face at my feet.
Oh, little back, how have you been these days?
Woof! Woof!
Host, is he your new pet?
Hm, short off.
Now that you mention it, let's officially take him under my wings.
Heavenly Blessed Bond
First contract successful:
Species: Dog
Name: Little Black
Cultivation: None
Host, are you out of your mind? Why would you waste your first contract on a stray dog?
Know your place, now you're gonna teach me what to do. He is my official pet from now on. If he can't keep up with me, what use of giving him an official title?
Host...
Fuck off.
Little guy, from now on, throughout heaven and earth, all existence should be below you.
This Emperor today acknowledges you as his divine beast 'Little Black.'
Woof! Woof!
Little Black struck out his small tongue, licking my face.
Hey, stop being childish. Did you understand the weight you will carry on your shoulders?
Woof! Woof!
Good, let's go.
We will celebrate your joining with a huge banquet.
Woof! Woof! Little black swinging his tail with excitement, like happy hearing about a banquet.
Host, where are you going?
Where else for a little Black joining banquet?
Host, immortals are coming today, can't you have a party later after the immortal recruitment ends?
Later, those immortals should wait; our Little Black has already transcended the rank that they can't even imagine.
If they don't have patients to wait for this emperor, then they don't deserve this emperor's blessing at all.
