The Upgrade

The morning came.

The sun rays of the first hour of the day shown on Qiao Yang's handsome face.

Qiao Yang opens his eyes and his ice-blue eyes reflects the sun.

Such a scene would cause all the women to scream and all men to look in jealousy.

The next moment he felt something inside of him.

Qiao Yang closes his eyes and sees something that shocks him.

He had meridians and a dantian.

He had...?!!!!

'WHAT THE HELL..?!!!!!'

'Since when did I have meridians and a dantian?!!!!'

Qiao Yang stood up so abruptly that he almost fell down but he gained his footing.

In the world of cultivation, meridians and a dantian were necessary for cultivating. Without them, they would only be mortals.

Qiao Yang suddenly remembered where he was and calmed down.

But it took 10 minutes to calm down.

'Does this mean I don't have the system?!'

'Hey system, my buddy are you there?'

No response.

'Hey system, my good friend are you there?'

No response.

Qiao Yang thought, 'Third time's the charm*'

'Hey system, are you there?'

No response.

Qiao Yang waited for 5 minutes and was about to cry when...

[Congratulations to host for becoming Qi Gathering realm-advance(9) cultivator]

Qiao Yang was stunned and suddenly laughed in joy.

'System, my buddy, I will never treat you bad. You are the best'

[...Could the host explain what is going on..?]

Qiao Yang stopped laughing and asked, 'I asked for you but you did not answer. Why?'

[It was because the system was rebooting and just woke up right now]

Qiao Yang suddenly thought, 'The system seems more formal than before. Is this because of the upgrade? Well, whatever, it doesn't matter'

'Well system, why are meridians and a dantian in my body?'

[After the upgrade there are 3 advantages for the host...First was the conversion of XP into Qi...The second was the building of all elemental meridians and a dantian...The third is that every second the host lives, 10 XP is gained. The third advantage will increase with the host's cultivation]

Qiao Yang did not understand the first and third advantages when he saw...

[+10 XP]

[+10 XP]

[+10 XP]

[+10 XP]

[+10 XP]

[+10 XP]

When Qiao Yang saw this, he was shocked.

He turned stiff.

He could not breathe.

Wasn't this....

Wasn't this way to OP?!!

Qiao Yang's breathing started increasing.

'This is...WAY TO AWESOME!!'

'Hey system, can I tell you something?'

[Yes, host]

'I love you!!'

[I am sorry host, I am not interested in you]

Although Qiao Yang became speechless, he smiled.

This message made his day already.

He climbed down from the tree and asked the bots whether anyone or any beast came around when he was sleeping but they told none.

Although they were robots, they could still talk using a vocal part.

Suddenly system said:

[It is advised to host to head to the treasure as soon as possible...If we reach late, some other cultivator may take it from us...]

Qiao Yang was surprised.

'Wasn't the boy yesterday the treasure?'

[Negative, host...The host was lucky he met a person with a system...]

Qiao Yang became happy.

The second good news today.

Qiao Yang told the system top display on the map and the next moment the map appeared.

Qiao Yang searched and started heading to a stream, where he would take a bath.

While heading towards the stream, he was reading the new message.

[Host, the factory has also finished...Would the host want to start building something from now on?]

When the system said that, Qiao Yang put on a serious face.

He asked the system, 'Could you show the things I can build?'

[Yes, host]

(ix)...]

Qiao Yang stopped.

His eyes opened and so did his mouth.

They kept opening...opening...opening until they couldn't.

Qiao Yang couldn't keep his calm demeanour now.

No, no one could.

He knew that what he saw would only be weak as weak materials were used but...

They could be made.

And the best part was...he just needed more and powerful materials and he could build machines powerful than all the empires in this world.

Qiao Yang gulped. He imagined himself as king with an army of machines as powerful as a whole universe.

Qiao Yang stayed in shock for at least 30 minutes before he focused back again.

'OP...Way to OP...'

Qiao Yang kept muttering this till he came to the stream.

He removed his clothes, took a quick bath and got ready.

He promised himself he would get stronger and stronger and gain the best materials to build the biggest and most powerful army in the multiverse.

But this was just the beginning.
