Wasting Money to Become an Immortal-Chapter 311: Strange reward

Since she wanted to work in the restaurant, it was quite easy for me to arrange this.

I didn’t even care about the others as I took Chen Xiao Hua back with the Transport Array.

But before leaving, I gave the instructions to the lackeys to bring the Transport Array back for me. I wasn’t planning on going back to the Liu Empire since I had seen how everyone looked at me.

I had been a prodigal young master on Earth and that experience served me well. I could easily figure out when people wanted to flatter me for the wrong reasons.

That was the feeling that I got from the crowd that would have been waiting for me in the Liu Empire.

I didn’t want to be turned into a display, so I just left the problem to my lackeys.

I left the problem to the Great Elder and the others from the Star Peak Sect.

There was no hesitation or regret in leaving this matter to them since I knew that they would be more than capable of handling it. Not to mention, it would mean that I wouldn’t have to deal with it, which was the most important thing.

But it turned out that I had underestimated my lackeys.

It turned out that after following me for a bit, they had learned a thing or two from me about being shameless.

The only one that was left behind was one of the male lackeys who would take care of the Transport Array. The rest of the lackeys, Liu Ao Xue, and Mu Bao Bao had all come through the Transport Array to follow me.

Could it be that I was a bad influence on them?

Well...not Mu Bao Bao since she was already this shameless in the first place, but there was no doubt that Liu Ao Xue and the other lackeys weren’t like this...

No, I can’t say the same about Gao Fu Shuai. He was one of those shameless people as well.

I was at least certain that Bing Xin wasn’t this shameless when we had first met.

It seemed that even this cool and collected lackey of mine was slowly becoming more and more shameless...

Well, it wasn’t as if being a bit shameless was a bad thing.

Since Lin Li Zi was the one that owned the restaurant, it was easy to get a job for Chen Xiao Hua.

When it was over, she was even bowing her head to thank the two of us for arranging everything.

This really was such a big difference from when I offered her the chance to be my lackey that it made me feel a bit strange, but I was big enough to accept that people wanted different things.

After that was settled, I went into one of the private rooms alone to check something out.

I made sure that everyone knew that I wasn’t to be disturbed and that they weren’t to come in regardless of what happened.

While everyone had concerned looks, they still listened to me.

When I was in the room alone, I opened up the system inventory to take a look at the special item that was there.

Fragment of Ancient Realm Map 1/8.

This was the reward that I had received from completing the sudden mission to take care of the demonic creature.

It was given the moment that I stabbed my spear into the demonic creature to create that hole.

It was just that I didn’t have any idea what this thing was.

Not to mention that it wasn’t even the complete reward, it was only a fragment.

"Partner, what is this?"

There was no need to keep agonizing over this, especially since I had come to terms with the system. It was better to just directly ask the system to see what this thing was.

But...

"The system cannot tell you."

"Huh?" I was surprised to hear the system’s response since it had been a while since the system had refused directly like this. Even if there was something that the system couldn’t do, it had chosen to tactfully respond after we had come to an agreement.

This was the first time that it had directly refused me since then. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

There was an awkward silence that hung in my mind after the system directly refused me like this.

Eventually, I asked, "Why?"

"Partner, this is one of the things that the system cannot do. It is related directly to one of the five rules that the creator has set."

"Five rules? What are the five rules?" I was very curious now since this would mean learning what I could have the system do and what I couldn’t have it do.

"The host is not qualified to know this information yet. Please strive to upgrade the system as soon as possible."

I was even more surprised to hear this.

This was a voice that I hadn’t heard in a long time...

It seemed that this was the default response that was generated automatically by the system.

So it seemed that a part of the system was directly controlled by the regulations set by the god that created it. Even the awareness that the system was developing couldn’t change it.

This just confirmed my suspicion.

If something did happen, the god that created the system would be able to take over the system...

Well, it wasn’t as if this wasn’t something that I hadn’t accepted already.

The system had said that it would do its best to resist and I had already accepted that.

So I should just let this slide.

Instead of pursuing this subject, I instead asked, "Why did you not allow me to use the defense system?"

The system didn’t respond when I asked this, but since it had been in the back of my head the entire time, I had already come up with an idea.

"Is it to prevent the system’s defenders from stealing the kill from me?"
