"Ding, system activation successful, starting binding."

"Ding, system binding successful, beginning update progress."

"Ding, the system is updated and officially launched."

Ding, welcome to the system for the first time. Two new player gift packs are being awarded, click to confirm?

"Ouch, what is this?"

Tang Long woke up with a jolt, his eyebrows furrowing as he slowly opened his eyes. What met his gaze was a bright white ceiling. Was this a hospital? He couldn't believe he was alive.

"Ding, first login, gift two new user gift packages, click to confirm?"

"Ding, system prompt, after three times, if the host has not clicked to confirm, the new user gift package will be destroyed."

"What... what? What sound is that? Is it just an illusion?"

"Ding, first login, gift two new user gift packs, click to confirm?"

"Wait...and so on, what's going on here?"

"Ding, new user gift pack destruction countdown, 543...!"

"Yes...Confirm!"

When Tang Long concentrated his gaze, a screen appeared before him. Two large red gift boxes blinked on it.

"Ding, the gift package is being opened."

"Congratulations, you have obtained the Vision Eye. You can see, appraise treasures, and hypnotize others. You can also develop other abilities on your own."

"Holy crap, eyesight? Are you serious?"

The dragon was startled and jumped to his feet, beginning to look towards the door.

The white door slowly came into view, and a nurse carrying a tray walked over.

Bang.

The door to the ward opened, and to Tanglong's astonishment, it was really the same nurse he had seen before.

Whoa, could I actually see?

Seeing Tang Long staring straight at her, the nurse's face contorted with anger. "You scoundrel," she snarled, "what are you looking at? If you keep staring, I'll gouge out your eyeballs."

"Haha, by the way, my name is Tang Long. What's your name?" Tang Long pretended to be bashful, scratching his head and said.

The nurse glared at Tang Long, and said huffily, "Why should I tell you? Hmph, there's medicine in the bowl. You eat it yourself? Three pills at a time, three times a day."

Saying that, the nurse angrily stomped out.

After the nurse left, Tang Long sprang up from the bed, changed into his own clothes, and began to recall what had happened before.

Speaking of it, this Tang Long was truly pathetic. He had passed the university entrance exam, but his father wouldn't let him go. Instead, he forced him to join the army.

There's no way around it, he has to obey his father's wishes. After graduating high school, Tang Long went to the military.

Just last year, Tang Long returned home to visit his relatives and through an introduction, he met Lin Yun, the village flower of his hometown.

After several attempts, he felt it was going well. He then arranged a visit with the matchmaker, and both families met to discuss the marriage proposal. The engagement was officially set, and a dowry of 100,000 yuan was paid.

And this time, Tang Long came to the East China Sea to bring Lin Yun back to his hometown to visit relatives.

To Tang Long's astonishment, Lin Yun turned out to be someone else's betrothed and publicly humiliated him, even stating that she would rather die than marry him.

Just as Tang Long was about to buy a ticket back home, he was hit by an unlicensed car and taken straight to the hospital.

Damn it, this system arrived just in time. Lin Yun, Lin Yun, I hope to hell you didn't get that unregistered car for me. Otherwise, you better watch out.

Forget it, I don't want to worry about these things anymore. Let's just see what the other new player gift package is like. It can't be a big one, right?

Tang Long swallowed nervously, then with a practiced hand, opened the second new recruit gift package.

"Ding, the gift package has been opened, you have obtained a martial arts manual "Nine Truths Sutra", do you want to practice it?"

"Me, what's this? Nine…Nine True Scriptures? Hmph, isn't this a joke? This is on par with the Yi Jin Jing and Xi Sui Jing, you know! It can cultivate true qi."

"Click to start cultivation?"

"Cultivation!"

Tang Long clicked on Cultivation without hesitation. He also wanted to see if this so-called system was real or not?

“The Nine Chapters of True Scriptures integrates martial arts, medicine, philosophy, physiology, astrology, rehabilitation, dialectics, and biochemistry into one encyclopedia.”

“The first form, the Taiji Gathering Qi Method, face east, stand naturally. First, focus your intention on your dantian. After three to five minutes, adopt the method of smooth breathing, meditate as heavenly qi is drawn down from Baihui (top of the head) and earthly qi is drawn up from the Yongquan points (on the soles of the feet), then two true qi converge at the dantian forming the Taiji shape.”

Following the system's prompts, Tang Long began his cultivation. Suddenly, he felt a warmth in his dantian, as if a fiery breath was surging within him.

After practicing for more than an hour, Tang Long's injuries on his body were almost completely healed.

"Big brother, I... Can I come in?" Just then, a little head poked in from outside the door, and said expectantly.

Tang Long stopped cultivating and clapped his hands, saying, "Of course I can."

"I'm Tangtang, big brother, what's your name?" The little girl was only about three or four years old. She was incredibly beautiful with long eyelashes that blinked one by one, making her look very lovely.

Strange?

On such a hot day, why is this little girl still wearing a down jacket? How come her hands are so cold?

"Ding, host issued a task, cure Tangtang's cold poison, accept?"

Cold poison?

According to the records of the Nine Truths Classic, so-called cold poison is when the essence becomes extreme and out of balance. It only takes a strike of qi against the opponent to immediately resolve it.

Tang Long didn't want to see such a pitiful little girl be punished, so he had no choice but to accept.

"Ding, host received a task, the task has begun, click to view task details."

"Mission Rank: D-Class."

"Task requirement: Make Tangtang act like a normal person."

"Task reward: One big gift bag."

After browsing the mission details, Tanglong realized that the system tasks were divided into five levels: s, a, b, c, and d, with s being the highest and d being the lowest.

The guiding of breath naturally comes from the dantian.

So Tanglong put Tangtang on the bed, then he put his palm on her belly. Right at that moment, the little nurse from before rushed in.

When the little nurse looked closely, she was frightened white and waved her hand and shouted: "Quickly catch the bird!"
