BTTH: Starting with the Complete Memories of Yao Chen

Chapter 2: Obtaining the System



Chapter 2: Obtaining the System

"Ding, detecting the chosen one, fulfilling system activation conditions."

"Ding, system successfully activated."

Abruptly, as Su Yun and the two from the Xiao family approached within one meter, a mechanical and stiff notification sound echoed in his mind.

"System?" Su Yun was momentarily stunned, then ecstatic.

After six years in the Dou Qi Continent, the essential golden finger for traversers had finally arrived.

Following that, a mysterious sensation entered Su Yun's brain. Closing his eyes, he carefully sensed it, and a hint of enlightenment flashed through his mind.

This was the system conveying information to him.

In less than a moment, Su Yun opened his eyes again.

The information wasn't extensive, just a brief introduction to the system's functions. With two lifetimes of experience, his soul's strength was sufficient, and digestion was not difficult.

"This functionality seems a bit rudimentary..."

However, if used skillfully, it could be effective.

Su Yun thought to himself.

Just as the system was activated, Su Yun had already crossed paths with the two from the Xiao family, heading in opposite directions.

"Wait a minute, the chosen one?" A gleam of light flickered in Su Yun's eyes. "Xiao Yan?"

Su Yun turned to look at the boy among the two children, silently thinking, "Scan!"

"Ding, scanning in progress."

"Scan successful."

Subsequently, an information table visible only to Su Yun floated in the air.

Name: Xiao Yan

Gender: Male
Cultivation: Dou Qi Third Stage
Technique: None
Combat Skills: None
Items: Mysterious Ring

"As expected, it's Xiao Yan."

Su Yun's eyes showed understanding. In the Dou Qi Continent, only Xiao Yan could truly be called the chosen one.

He had known that he needed to encounter the so-called chosen one to activate the system; otherwise, he would have tried to contact Xiao Yan by any means!

However, it wasn't too late now.

As for the little girl beside him, Su Yun didn't need the system to scan to know who she was.

"However, it doesn't have much to do with me." Su Yun shook his head, showing no intention of seeking benefits from others.

He didn't have such thoughts before getting the system, and even less now.

Although the system was somewhat disappointing, coupled with his foresight and premonition abilities, even if it took a year to become a Dou Practitioner, three years to become a Dou Emperor, and ten years to become a Dou God, he would still break through the sky.

But in the Dou Qi Continent, having the confidence to thrive was essential.

Su Yun's thoughts seemed extensive, but in reality, it took only the blink of an eye.

Turning back, Su Yun continued to move forward, suddenly stopping his steps.

"If I remember correctly, according to the original story, Xiao Yan's mother passed away when he was four years old."

"Which means, that ring is already in Xiao Yan's hands."

After realizing this, Su Yun's hands trembled slightly, and his eyes revealed an uncontrollable excitement.

Immediately turning around, green light shone in his eyes as he stared straight at Xiao Yan's hands.

"System, scan that ring!" Su Yun commanded in his mind.

"Ding, scan failed."

"Scanned item exceeds the scanning range."

The system's prompt entered Su Yun's mind, and his excitement diminished a bit.

Taking a few deep breaths, he tried to calm himself as much as possible.

Su Yun walked towards Xiao Yan and the others, and when he estimated the distance was appropriate, he continued talking to the system: "Scan that ring."

"Ding, scan successful."

"Detected a dormant soul."

"Continue, scan that soul." Su Yun continued.

"Ding, scanning in progress."

"Ding, scan successful."

Name: Yao Chen

Gender: Male
Cultivation: Dou Venerate Peak

Identity: Eighth-rank Peak Alchemist
Technique: Advanced Earth-tier 'Fierce Sun Incineration Art'...

Combat Skills: Low-tier Earth-tier 'Bone Chilling Flame Ruler'...
Items: Bone Spirit Cold Fire, Profound Heavy Ruler, Black Magic Cauldron, Bone Flame Ring...

"Scan Yao Chen's memories."

While giving instructions to the system in his mind, Su Yun's eyes once again filled with excitement.

"Ding, detecting that Yao Chen is currently in a dormant state, beginning the scan."

"Ding, scan completed."

"Retrieve!"

"Ding, retrieval successful. Yao Chen's memories are now stored in the system's warehouse."

A suppressed smile appeared on Su Yun's lips.

Holding back the urge to burst into laughter on the spot, he immediately turned around, ignoring the puzzled expressions of Xiao Yan and Xiao Xun'er, and briskly walked away.

"Brother Xiao Yan, do you know this person?" Xun'er asked Xiao Yan.

"No, I don't." Xiao Yan shook his head, his inner thoughts as perplexed as Xun'er's.

Su Yun's gaze just now made him feel a bit uneasy.

This boy, dressed in simple clothes but resembling a porcelain doll, had never crossed paths with him before.

"Never mind, let's go back quickly. We've been out for a long time," Xiao Yan said to Xun'er.

Xiao Yan didn't pay much attention to Su Yun's strange behavior. He was just a stranger they hadn't met, a trivial incident.

"Okay."

...

Back home, Su Yun locked the door behind him, tossed the food aside, and sat on the bed, immersing himself in the system.

Sure enough, in the empty system warehouse, the first tenant arrivedβ€”a grayish-white gas mass.

"Is this Old Yao's lifelong memories?"

"First bucket of gold!" Su Yun sighed.

Shifting his attention from Old Yao's memories back to the system, Su Yun found the system's functions were extremely simple, even rudimentary.

There were only three functions: Scan, Retrieve, and Fuse.

These functions were just the basics. Su Yun couldn't help but complain that even the mediocre online games from his past life had more features than this.

The abilities of these three functions were also straightforward, as the names suggested:

- Scan: With Su Yun at the center, everything within a one-meter radius, people and objects alike, could display information visible to Su Yun.

- Retrieve: This function was built on the foundation of scanning. Objects, whether dead, temporarily unconscious, or unresisting living beings, could be retrieved into the system's built-in space.

- Fuse:This function was what Su Yun was planning to try out. After carefully understanding the usage and conditions of the Fusion function, Su Yun went out again. He approached various stalls in the market, using the Scan function meticulously, carefully selecting one after another.

"Ding, scanned..."

"Ding, scanned..."

"Ding, scanned..."

Su Yun waited patiently.

"Ding, scanned Washed Bone Flower."

When Su Yun heard this, he moved his eyes subtly, casting a glance at the stall owner.

"How much is this Yellow Lotus Essence?"

"This thing costs a hundred gold coins."

Feasible! Seeing that the stall owner wasn't paying attention, Su Yun's heart moved. Retrieve!

Su Yun checked the system warehouse; the Washed Bone Flower was now lying there peacefully. He immediately left the scene of the crime.

Having succeeded once, Su Yun continued lawfully. He acquired the necessary herbs and magic cores from different stalls.

Accustomed to being cautious, Su Yun only took one item from each stall.

In such a large market, occasionally losing one or two items from a stall was a common occurrence.

Returning home again, he closed the doors and windows, ensured no one was around, and began to count his gains.

Three intact Purple Leaf Orchids, two Washed Bone Flowers, one first-grade wood-element magic core, and one second-grade magic core.

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Su Yun's mouth. There was only one step left.
