Chapter 2: Talent Ability

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

“What is this? It seems to be a character attribute interface?”

After all, Liu Chuan had transmigrated from modern society, so he knew the interface very well.

He was familiar with this thing.

Wasn’t this just the character attribute interface that appeared in games?

At this moment, a system prompt sounded in his mind.

[The host has successfully activated the system and obtained a random treasure chest.]

This really wasn’t an illusion.

It was real!

Liu Chuan was overjoyed. He closed his eyes and the system interface instantly appeared.

The system interface was the same as before.

However, there was a picture of a treasure chest with a golden background beside it, waiting for the host to open it.

Then, Liu Chuan tried to use his consciousness and found that he could control this interface.

Hence, he decisively chose to open the treasure chest.

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining a Spirit Servant: Wolf King Puppy.]

[Congratulations to the host for activating a talent ability: Spirit Master.]

[System prompt: The host has a chance to collect the remnant soul of the deceased and transform it into a Spirit Servant.]

[System prompt: The host’s current level is too low, so the success rate is extremely low.]

“What’s going on? I just opened a treasure chest and my talent was awakened?”

Liu Chuan was a little confused.

While he was in disbelief, he was also secretly delighted.

However, as a modern person, Liu Chuan quickly adapted to the existence of the system.

After all, he could even transmigrate. Wasn’t it normal to have a system?

Right?

“I have no choice. After all, I’m the chosen one, so this is understandable. Oh, I still have my Wolf King.”

Liu Chuan quickly came back to his senses. He suppressed his joy and calmed himself down.

Then, he prepared to summon his first Spirit Servant.

Then, he pointed to the sky and shouted.

“I choose you, the Snow Lord — Wolf King Alvet!”

He had wanted to try experiencing this feeling for a long time. This surpassed the feeling of having a Pokémon.

Although it was a little awkward, there was no one around. It was quite satisfying.

Of course, he had just made up the name of the Wolf King.

The moment the summoning ended, before Liu Chuan could react, he felt something running out of his mind.

Then, he saw the ‘Wolf King Puppy’ sitting quietly in front of him.

“D*mn, isn’t this a husky? Do you think I haven’t seen the world? You call this a Wolf King? That’s not right.”

A million curses ran through his mind.

What a young ‘dog’.

The system truly chose a strange name.

Liu Chuan, who had been extremely excited a moment ago, suddenly felt a little stifled.

This system was a little too much to call a husky a “Wolf King Puppy”. At the very least, the system should have given him a purebred husky!

“Hey, I just randomly called it the Snow Lord. Why did you actually give me a sled dog…”

Although he was complaining in his heart, after calming down, he still carefully sized up the Wolf King Puppy.

No matter how he looked at it, it was a husky. How stupid!

The corner of Liu Chuan’s mouth twitched slightly.

However, he still comforted himself in his heart. It’s fine, it’s fine.

A husky was actually quite good.

“Forget it, forget it. You can be considered my first general and also a powerful descendant of the Wolf King. How about I call you ‘Dogshit’ from now on?”

Liu Chuan looked at his first Spirit Servant and said seriously.

Dogshit was silent.

This name was too casual…

“Roar!”

However, Dogshit howled in agreement…

[The host has successfully named the Spirit Servant.]

[Dogshit: Level-10.]

[Skill: Wolf King’s Claws]

“Damn, you’re Level-10, does that mean I’m worse than a dog now?”

He looked at Dogshit’s level, then looked at his own level, which was at Level-0. Then, Liu Chuan instantly felt terrible.

“I am the chosen one, but now I am inferior to a dog.”

Liu Chuan was a little depressed.

How frustrating.

As it was a spiritual entity, Dogshit’s body was still somewhat illusory. It was easy to tell that it was not a physical body.

“I’m sorry. I was too arrogant just now. I’m still a weakling now.”

After his excitement, Liu Chuan finally realized that he was still trash.

Although he now had the system and awakened his talent, his strength was still the lowest in this world.

He looked at Dogshit, who was sitting quietly in front of him. Then, he saw the dog’s eyes darting around, as though it was observing which furniture needed “renovation”…

Feeling a little frustrated, Liu Chuan quickly put Dogshit away.

This was to prevent any accidents from happening to his furniture.

After a moment, Liu Chuan suddenly thought of a problem.

How could he level up?

This was a problem.

There was no notification from the system either.

After pondering for a long time, Liu Chuan finally figured out how to level up. He had to team up and kill monsters to level up.

“I have a Spirit Servant. I just have to bring it along with me to fight monsters and level up, right? I just don’t know if it will work.”

He took out his phone and checked the time. It was already 11 pm.

As he had been researching how to operate the system and how to summon Spirit Servants, time passed quickly.

“It’s a little late today. I’ll look for Wang Meng tomorrow and ask him where the low-risk dimensional zones are so that I can kill monsters.”

Liu Chuan thought to himself.

He could expose his summoned creature. After all, there was no way to hide it in the future.

However, he definitely could not expose the system. No one could be sure what would happen after it was exposed.

A wave of sleepiness hit him. As a Level-0 weakling, it was a little difficult for him to summon a Level 10-Spirit Servant. Although it did not take long, it still consumed a lot of mental strength.

Soon, he fell into a deep sleep.

…

The next morning, Liu Chuan woke up early.

He himself was a self-disciplined person. Before he transmigrated, he was considered an excellent student.

Every day, when the alarm clock rang, even in the dead of winter, he could get up instantly.

In the words of Liu Chuan’s former roommate, he was indeed an impressive person.

No, he was even better than that.

Think about it, which person didn’t set at least three or four alarms?

People would typically sleep for another five minutes after the first alarm went off, and shut their eyes for a while longer after the second alarm went off…

As the saying went, self-disciplined people often succeeded, and persistence was very important. Liu Chuan was this kind of person.

After washing up, Liu Chuan ran to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the neighborhood and prepared to have a simple meal before going to find Wang Meng.

“Uncle Wang, I’ll have one portion of xiaolongbao1, a fried dough stick, and a bowl of salty soybean milk for here. Please prepare another set of the same items to go.”

After Liu Chuan sat down at the breakfast shop, he spoke to the middle-aged man who was frying deep-fried dough sticks.

“Alright, wait a moment. I’ll serve you right away.”

Liu Chuan pulled out a chair and sat down before looking around.

Although it was still early, there was no shortage of customers who woke up early in the morning and came to the breakfast shop. Many people were already seated in the shop.

“Hey, have you heard? A dimensional zone has also appeared in our tiny Ping An County. I heard that it was sealed off by the Federal government the moment it appeared. It’s only now that news about it has been released.”

“That’s right. I heard that it’s a dimensional zone with a danger level of below Level-F. It’s about to open today. This is the only domain that anyone can enter, not just martial artists.”

Hearing the conversation around him, Liu Chuan was stunned. However, at the same time, he was happy.

Just as he was worried about not having a place to kill monsters and level up, such a place appeared.

With this in mind, Liu Chuan hurriedly took out his phone and began checking the latest news on the local forums. Indeed, there was news about a dimensional zone opening.

“Excuse me, xiaolongbao, fried dough sticks, and salty soybean milk coming through.”

After a while, all the breakfast dishes were served. Liu Chuan also thanked him politely.

As he was thinking about the dimensional zone, he wasn’t in the mood to eat properly.

He quickly swallowed the xiaolongbao and fried dough stick.

After paying, Liu Chuan brought the packed breakfast and prepared to discuss the matter of going to the dimensional zone with Wang Meng.

However, before he reached Wang Meng’s house, he saw Wang Meng’s muscular figure walking towards him from afar.

“Little Chuan, do you know about the news? Ping An County has a low-leveled dimensional zone that we can enter. Let’s go and see the world now.”

Wang Meng said happily as soon as they met.

Wang Meng knew that Liu Chuan usually woke up early and often went to the breakfast shop at the entrance of the neighborhood for breakfast.

As soon as he got out of bed, Wang Meng noticed that no one was at Liu Chuan’s house. He guessed that Liu Chuan was having breakfast at the breakfast shop.

Thus, he was about to look for Liu Chuan at the breakfast shop when they met each other along the way.

“Alright, that was my intention too. I’ve never been to a dimensional zone in my life. Here, I bought this for you. I was just about to discuss this with you,” said Liu Chuan with a smile as he looked at Wang Meng.

He was considering how to tell Wang Meng about his awakening.

In the past, this idiot had relied on his strong physique to show off in front of Liu Chuan. Today, Liu Chuan had to put on a good show.

Wang Meng put his arm around Liu Chuan’s shoulder and giggled. “What’s there to discuss? I’m here to protect you. What’s there to be afraid of?”

Liu Chuan thought that there was no rush. When they entered the dimensional zone, the effects of summoning Dogshit would be shocking.

“Alright, let’s go.”

When the duo set off for the dimensional zone, there seemed to be something amiss in the depths of the dimensional zone.
