Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 269: Wild Raging Spear

"Are you crazy?" That was my only response to the insane suggestion that the system made.

It wanted me to fight that lynx that was in the Rebirth Realm?

With what?

My cultivation that was still in the Core Formation Realm?

There were an entire four major realms that were between me and that lynx and it wanted me to fight that thing?

Wasn’t the system just basically telling me to kill myself?

"I am a prodigal young master, why is there a need for me to fight anyone?" I said in a proud voice.

I was proud of the fact that I was a prodigal and I didn’t hesitate to use this fact in an argument.

Especially when it was the perfect argument to make in a situation like this.

How could one expect me to win?

"Host, it would be beneficial to you to gain some combat experience for the future."

"Huh? You’re sending me to my death and you’re calling it combat experience? When did you learn to lie like this?" I said without any hesitation to the system.

After all, no matter how one looked at it, it was like the system was trying to send me to my death.

"Host, please do not fear. The system has already calculated everything and you have a 100% chance of victory as long as you follow the system’s instructions. This is the perfect time to gain some combat experience, so please do not fear!"

"The tone of your voice has changed. It almost seems like you’re gaining some kind of awareness." I couldn’t help saying this after hearing this from the system.

The same mechanical voice as before said, "Host, you are imagining things."

"No, no, no, there’s no way that you can cover it up now. It’s clear that you’ve been talking more fluidly since the beginning and you’re even stating your opinion. It’s clear that you’ve gained some kind of awareness, haven’t you?" I no longer held back now that Pandora’s Box had been opened.

This was something that had been on my mind the entire time, but I had never said anything since I didn’t know if I could say it or not. I was afraid that something bad would happen if I laid down all the cards with the system, but it was too late for that.

Once the box was opened, it wasn’t as if it could be closed again.

As expected, the system went with its usual response.

"..."

There was only silence that followed after I made this accusation.

I was already used to this, but that didn’t mean that I would take it from the system.

"So you’re planning on sending me to my death so you can take over my body, right?"

"No, the system would never do that."

This time, the system didn’t remain silent.

It seemed that if I accused it of wanting to cause harm to me, it would immediately deny that.

This was something that I was used to as well, but it was still a relief to hear the system say it out loud.

After all, if it didn’t say anything...then I would really have to question the system’s loyalty.

But since it did, it meant that at least it shouldn’t have any intentions of hurting me.

"Alright, speak. Tell me why you want me to get combat experience and especially against this kind of opponent. If you don’t tell me, then I’ll be ignoring you from now on."

There was silence that followed, but I didn’t say anything else as I waited for the system to respond.

At this point, silence was the best way to put pressure on the system.

After a long silence, the system said, "It’s to allow the host to get used to the Wild Raging Spear."

"Wild Raging Spear?" I couldn’t help asking in a confused voice.

"Correct, it’s the legacy of the War God that the host picked up."

"Oh." It was that spear.

I had called it the War God’s Spear the entire time since I had no idea what its name was, but it turned out that this spear was actually called the Wild Raging Spear...

"So you’re admitting that it’s related to you?" I had to ask this since I had already recognized who the War God was.

The system had denied all connection to the War God, but it wasn’t able to fool me.

I knew that the War God was the Fifth Guardian Lord, I wouldn’t make that mistake.

So I had to push the system for this revelation.

But in the end, all I got was...

"Host, this is all circumstantial, please do not think too deeply about this."

The system was trying to call it a coincidence and was trying to shrug it off.

In that case...

"Then there’s no need for me to learn about this thing since it’s just a coincidence that I picked it up." I said without a care.

I didn’t want to fight in the first place, so why would I put myself in danger like this?

"..."

There was a clear notification that appeared in front of my eyes when I said this.

It was as if the system was very frustrated that I wouldn’t go along with it.

"The host said that we were partners, weren’t we?"

I was taken aback when I heard this since I never expected the system to suddenly use guilt tactics like this...

But the system seemed to have taken this silence for something else.

So the system said, "Host, please accept this reward for your hard work."

"Huh?" I was very confused when I heard this, but I was even more surprised when I saw what was in the system’s inventory.

Wild Raging Spear Art Pack.

This was clearly a bribe that the system was giving me...

Every time that I denied a quest, the system would always give me a bribe.

But I had to admit that I was indeed intrigued by this.

At the same time, I actually didn’t feel that the system was wrong about my need to have combat experience.

Even if I had the powers given to me by the system, that didn’t mean that I knew how to use them effectively.
