a system

<p>"Where the heck am I?" Gu Xiong thought to himself as he looked around. He had been fooling around in a bar just moments ago. He wondered if he was drunk and hallucinating as he found himself in a luxurious room.<br/><br/>"Argh!" A piercing pain in his head cut his thoughts short. Moments later, everything became clear again.<br/><br/>"I can't believe I transmigrated, and into the body of a young master, on top of that." A sense of excitement and thrill overwhelmed Gu Xiong. He had always dreamed of living in a cultivation world, finding Earth too boring. He had read many novels and fantasized about being a legendary immortal, and today, he got a chance to make his dream come true.<br/><br/>Moments later, he adjusted his mind and scanned through his predecessor memories. He found out that he was the young master of the Gu family, a family that ruled the Star City, a top-rate city in a mortal kingdom known as the 'Crimson Moon'.<br/><br/>He was sixteen years old this year, his predecessor was quite capable, and he was labeled as a genius.<br/><br/>He had succeeded in entering the Essence Gathering Realm before the Awakening Ceremony, an achievement only a handful of geniuses could claim. Usually, everyone had to go through the Awakening Ceremony to awaken their spirit roots for cultivation. Still, a small number of talented individuals, like him, awakened their spirit roots naturally.<br/><br/>"This is great. At least I didn't end up in the body of a useless young master or a poor young man with a tragic past like in the novels I used to read." The corners of his lips lifted into a satisfied smile.<br/><br/>[Ding, the 'Fake It Till You Make It' system has successfully bonded to the host.]<br/>[Fake It Till You Make It system: As long as people believe something about the host, the host can choose to make it become true.]<br/>[There are only three rules:<br/>1. You can't lie.<br/>2. You can't use force.<br/>3. Once a reward is accepted, it can't be undone.]<br/><br/>At first, Gu Xiong was alarmed, but he calmed down shortly after. He had just transmigrated, so having a system wasn't that surprising. After reading through the system's instructions, he roughly understood how it worked.<br/><br/>"Young Master Gu, your breakfast is ready," suddenly a voice came from outside. From his memories, Gu Xiong knew that this was one of the servants responsible for serving him.<br/><br/>"Just a moment," he responded and got up to go to the bathroom to freshen up. He saw himself in the mirror and was impressed. He had long black hair, unusual gray eyes, and a handsome face that gave off a sinister vibe, making him look quite imposing.<br/><br/>After he put on a black and golden robe, he walked out with an indifferent expression, as the past owner of this body usually acted. He was the young master of the strongest family in the city, after all, and liked to appear proud and mysterious.<br/><br/>Following the memories in his head, he quickly arrived at a grand dining hall, had something to eat, and then went out for a stroll. After thinking about how to test the system for a while, he came up with an idea.<br/><br/>"I need to find the maid named Mei Ling first," he thought to himself as he walked. This maid was known for gossiping and was popular among the servants in the Gu mansion. She was even suspected of leaking some inner information to the outside. However, because she was a relative of one of his father's concubines, she wasn't punished, as what was leaked was just trivial information like the likes and dislikes of the Gu family members.<br/><br/>"Here she is," after some time, he spotted her in a corner whispering with some other maids.<br/><br/>"Greetings, young master. Is there anything you need?" The maids panicked a little when they saw him approaching.<br/><br/>"Mei Ling, go bring Elder Lee to the library now," Gu Xiong coldly ordered, then walked away, heading to the library.<br/><br/>"Yes, young master, right away," Mei Ling said hurriedly as she walked to the elders' residence building.<br/><br/>"The young master is as handsome as ever."<br/>"Yes, he's really charming. I heard that even an immortal sect is paying attention to him."<br/>"But he is kind of cold. I never saw him smile, not even once."<br/>"Right, but that also makes him really intimidating."<br/>"Shh, you'll be out of luck if someone hears you. Let's go."<br/><br/>The maids talked amongst themselves for a moment, then dispersed. They didn't notice that Gu Xiong had slowed down a little, allowing him to listen to what they were saying.<br/><br/>"They think I'm handsome, but the system didn't show any rewards, so that can mean that because they know exactly how I look, the image in their hearts is real, so the system has nothing to add. Or perhaps looks aren't included in the system rewards, but I think it's the former." From what he understood about the system every thing means any think about him, like talent, powers and skills, and looks are a type of talent after all <br/><br/>Not long after, he arrived at the library. He walked in directly, as the guards didn't dare to question him.<br/><br/>He went straight to the third floor and selected a book about different special talents one could have, He opened the book and began to read, He stopped at a page that talked about a special heavenly physique called the Pure Yang Heavenly Physique, a legendary talent that allowed a cultivator to be highly compatible with the yang attribute spirit energy. <br/><br/> It wasn't like he was specifically looking for this talent, but it was the strongest talent he could find in the library. The previous owner of this body had read all the books on the third floor, so he quickly found what he was looking for.</p>
