A Beginner's Gift Package

Wang Jun found himself in a precarious position with just 1 contribution point in his virtual pocket, surrounded by the allure of goods worth a whopping 10,000 contribution points within the high-end mall.

"Host,"

the system gently reminded him, "You are looking at a high-end mall."

"Ok?"

Wang Jun responded, his voice reflecting a mix of awe and uncertainty.

His eyes shifted to the left side of the mall panel, revealing a row of buttons: Novice Mall, Junior Mall, Middle Mall, and High Mall. The Novice Mall, the most affordable option, drew his attention.

"No wonder it's so expensive," he mumbled, his amusement evident, "It turned out to be high-end!"

Eager to begin his journey despite his modest contribution point balance, Wang Jun hastily clicked on the Novice Mall, unveiling a new panel. Within this section, there was only one product on display - the "Novice Gift Package." Remarkably, it required a mere 1 contribution point for redemption.

Wang Jun's eyes widened as he encountered the "Novice Gift Package."

"Just that?" he exclaimed with a chuckle. It seemed too good to be true that such an affordable option existed in the mall.

"Ding!"

"The host consumes 1 point of contribution value and obtains a novice gift package, which has been delivered to the space ring."

"Ding!"

"Sect contribution: 0/100!"

Wang Jun often laughed, unfazed by the fact that his contribution value had dipped to zero. With anticipation in his heart, he swiftly entered the space ring and discovered a red gift box nestled beside the time bomb.

"Brush!"

With excitement coursing through him, Wang Jun eagerly opened the novice gift package.

"Ding!"

"The host opens the novice gift package and obtains the Swift Escape Amulet × 1!"

"Ding!"

"The host opens a novice gift package and acquires the Emblem of Resilience × 1!"

"Ding!"

"The host opens the novice package and gains the Charger's Token × 1!"

"Ding!"

"The host opens the novice gift package and secures the Key of Beginnings × 1!"

One by one, as the prompts chimed in, four mystical items with different names materialized out of thin air within the confines of his space ring.

Wang Jun couldn't help but chuckle as he examined the items he had received.

"Go away?" he mused, "At first glance, it's an escape tool."

"Emblem of Resilience?" he questioned, "Sounds like a defensive charm."

"Charger?" he pondered, "I suppose I can use it to hurry along."

He couldn't help but reflect on his journey thus far. "I walk across the realm, but if it's not for pretending to get hit in the face, it seems like I only know how to escape and take a beating. What's the point of living?"

"Ding!"

"The host opens the novice gift package and acquires the Symbol of Experience × 1!"

As the prompt chimed in with the final item, Wang Jun's mood brightened. Perhaps this symbol of experience could help him on his path to becoming more than just a survivor in this realm.

"Talisman of experience?"

Wang Jun questioned, his curiosity piqued. "What is this?"

The system promptly clarified, "The amulet of experience can be used to rapidly advance the host's cultivation."

"Is that so?" Wang Jun replied, his excitement evident.

In his view, among all the items he had received, the novice gift package held the most value.

"How do I use it?" he inquired.

"Crush!" the system instructed.

Without a second thought, Wang Jun followed the instruction and snapped the talisman inscribed with the word 'Experience.'

"Whoo!"

Suddenly, a surge of energy emanated from his body, coursing through the eight mysterious meridians with a profound sensation.

"Ding!"

"The host successfully broke through to the third stage of Meridian Opening!"

"Ding!"

"The host successfully broke through to the fourth stage of Meridian Opening!"

"Ding!"

"The host successfully broke through to the fifth stage of Meridian Opening!"

With the experience talisman crushed, Wang Jun couldn't contain his laughter as he ascended from the Second stage to the fifth stage of Meridian Opening in one swift leap.

In the star-studded continent, there were twelve main meridians in the human body. Meridian Opening was just one section of these meridians, and the twelve meridians made up the complete sequence.

Of course, Meridian Opening was merely the introductory stage in the starfall continent's hierarchy of warriors. Beyond Meridian Opening, there were foundation establishment, then Elemental Adept realm, followed by Spiritual Attunement, Inner Energy Manifestation , and finally, Harmony Flow realm. The higher the realm, the greater the power.

It was said that those who reached the level of Harmony Flow, and even beyond, possessed the ability to fly in the air and traverse thousands of miles in an instant.

"Feels so good!" Wang Jun could feel a surge of potent energy coursing through his body, a wide smile gracing his face.

He couldn't help but chuckle at his remarkable progress. He knew that if his fellow warriors discovered he had advanced to the third level simply by crushing a piece of paper, they would undoubtedly be envious to the point of spitting blood.

Displaying the yellow paper inscribed with the characters '开 印,' he quirked an eyebrow and asked, "What good is this thing?"

The system promptly replied, "The 'Seal of Unsealing' is used to unlock the seal on the Difficult Knife."

"Intriguing," Wang Jun mused, "Is there really a seal on that knife?"

"Yes," the system confirmed, "The Difficult Knife has a seal that suppresses its power. To use it normally, the host must rely on the seal to unseal it."

Wang Jun couldn't help but chuckle wryly, a hint of frustration creeping over him.

"The first weapon they give me needs to be unlocked before I can use it. What a f***ed up setting!"

With a sigh, he made his first wish to the enigmatic system, while continuing his journey along the road.

"Don't sigh," Lu Lu casually replied, unimpressed by his antics, "Hurry up, or the gates of Azure Sun City will close, and we'll be left sleeping in the wild again."

Wang Jun had a clear mission in mind – to develop a martial art, he needed to recruit disciples. According to the memories of the former owner, he discovered that Azure Sun City would hold a recruitment event in half a month, attracting many young hopefuls, especially young girls.

"This is a golden opportunity to recruit members!" Wang Jun thought.

Just as he was contemplating his plans, a familiar face appeared before him. It was the green-skinned warrior he had encountered earlier.

Wang Jun greeted her with a grin, "I'm feeling a bit tired. How about you take a break?"

"No," Lu Lu replied indifferently.

Wang Jun couldn't help but chuckle silently. Lu Lu's determination was unwavering, so he continued on their journey.

Suddenly, a rapid succession of footsteps echoed behind him. When he turned around, he saw several soldiers in uniforms chasing after him, surrounding him.

"Brother Li!" the green-skinned warrior protested angrily, covering his face, "I got hit by him!"

"Humph," the warrior who seemed to be in charge, referred to as Brother Li, glared at Wang Jun and spoke coldly, "He's quite audacious, daring to lay hands on our people from the Spirit Spring Sect."

"Spirit Spring Sect?" Wang Jun chuckled, finding the name somewhat familiar.

Lu Lu offered an explanation, her tone remaining indifferent, "Head, the Spirit Spring Sect is part of the Jiuliu School from Spirit Spring Village."

"So it is," Wang Jun chuckled as he recalled the situation.

Upon hearing the man shouting that he was in charge, Brother Li couldn't help but ask, "Are you in charge?"

Wang Jun found this rather hurtful.Did he really not appear to be the boss?

"Brother Li!" the Green Turban warrior, still nursing his swollen face, chimed in, "He claimed to be the head of the Solid Strike Sect!"

"Solid Strike Sect?" Another warrior burst into laughter, "Isn't that the kiln boss who frequented the brothels, got caught by the authorities, escaped from prison, and then tried to make it as a martial artist?"

"I heard his disciples even ate a three-course meal, how are they still around?"

The disciples of the Spirit Spring Sect sneered with disdain and ridicule. Despite both belonging to the Jiuliu School faction, it was clear that the Spirit Spring ancestors held a low opinion of the Solid Strike Sect, be it their practices or their disciples.

"Hey," Wang Jun sighed inwardly as he learned of the previous Wang's escapades, realizing that his predecessor had ended up in such a predicament due to visiting the world of pleasure.

"Well, everyone needs a break now and then," Wang Jun thought to himself. It was understandable to seek some relaxation outside of one's responsibilities. However, once caught, it was wiser to accept the consequences and focus on reform rather than attempting a risky jailbreak.

Wang Jun often couldn't quite grasp the essence of martial arts – was it all about being a man with solid bone and doing things with Straightforward manner?

"You all," he addressed them with a wry grin, "The sole purpose of stopping me is to humiliate my Solid Strike faction?"

Brother Li spat with disdain, "A lowly school like yours, daring to call yourself a 'Sect'? Do you truly think you're a match for us adults?"

"A kid who hasn't even grown his first whisker, what qualifications does he have?"

"New disciples are usually naive, but to be fooled by this kind of trash? It's a disgrace to our Spirit Spring Sect!"

Wang Jun laughed inwardly, realizing that there was a stark difference in how these martial arts factions viewed each other. It seemed that the rivalry between the Solid Strike faction and the Spirit Spring Sect ran deep, and Wang Jun was unwittingly caught in the crossfire.

The disciples of Spirit Spring Sect didn't spare a single friendly glance, their efforts focused solely on humiliating and ridiculing Wang Jun.

"These are just typical small-minded villains. How can I maintain the dignity of a transmigrator if I let them trample all over me?" Wang Jun said with a determined look, rolling up his sleeves. "Alright, let's see how far this seat can teach these ignoramuses."

Lu Lu, on the other hand, turned around and started walking away. But just as she was leaving, she casually remarked, "If you end up dead, don't forget to pass on the position of head to me."

Wang Jun burst into laughter, almost losing his balance. This cold and proud woman had ambitions of her own, even eyeing the position of head!

If he weren't bound by this a** system, he might have gladly handed over the leadership role to Lu Lu and led a peaceful and carefree life in another world.
