Shang Ke gave all of his cultivation and the fruit of his labors, to Yan Lu. The moment Yan Lu had succeeded in his tribulation, Shang Ke's consciousness returned to the System space.

System: 【Main Mission, completed.】

Shang Ke: "...Just what is the meaning of that comma?"

System: 【According to the system's calculation, the probability of Host completing the penalty mission does not surpass 35%.】

"So?"

【For Host to be able to complete a difficulty x2 penalty mission is completely outside of the system's calculations. The system shall re-adjust the Host's evaluation.】

"What kind of evaluation do you have of me?"

【A Heroic Degree lower than expected value. A Completion Degree lower than average value.】

Shang Ke: "......"

He decided to ignore the explosive injury by the System. After all, the mission was finally completed. Although he had some regrets, they were not too painful. It was probably knowing that they would meet again in the next world that set his heart at ease.

System: 【The penalty mission does not have rewards, but the skills you have chosen before can be further progressed. The curse halo shall continue.】

"Curse halo? If you hadn't mentioned it then I would have forgotten it." Shang Ke thought a moment, then asked strangely, "Just what is the condition for activating the curse halo? It appeared once in the last world, but in the end, it didn't show itself again.."

The System explained: 【The condition for activating the curse halo is—for "evil". The definition "evil" has no clear boundaries, it is based mainly on Host's moral quality.】

Shang Ke: "......"

【Choose a skill to improve for now. Of course, Host can also choose to enter the next world directly.】

How could he give up the chance to learn skills and adjust his mood in the Hundred Training Space?

The present skills Shang Ke had lit up were 【Cooking】, 【Musical Instruments】(Piano, Flute, Violin), 【Weaving】, 【Hacking (Intermediate)】, 【Martial Arts (Primary)】...

He did not hesitate to promote his martial arts and hacking skills.

After he came out from the Hundred Training Space, Shang Ke commenced the journey to his next world...

A dense fishy smell saturated the air while cries of alarm and the sound of strikes flooded his ears. Shang Ke opened his eyes and found himself standing on top of a metal tower. Below him were densely packed... bugs?!

One after another, pumpkin-sized black beetles flocked toward his position like a tide. They were beaten back by the electric current that defended the wall, but as one died, another would immediately take its place. The defensive wall burned through its power source quickly under this kind of attack. The defenses were failing rapidly. They likely wouldn't last much longer.

Around Shang Ke were countless soldiers, traveling back and forth as they sought a bunker, picked up their weapons and attacked the bug tide with all their might. A beam of light energy shot out from somewhere and fried its way through the group, causing a large expanse of green mucus to splash about. But the black bugs did not feel any fear. They advanced dauntlessly like a wave, throwing themselves forward in a race to kill off all the soldiers.

Isn't this a bit much?

Shang Ke looked at the ground before him, littered with bugs, and felt his scalp go numb. The dishonest System always likes to send him to the wrong place and the wrong time. His heart nearly gave out from shock.
