Chapter 11

“System, does the health potion work for anyone else other than myself?”

System: “Health potions can be used for anyone who is your teammate. Currently, you have five empty slots for starting teammates.”

Yes!

This is it!

Li Rui danced around with excitement and threw punches in the air.

After a while, he finally managed to calm down and continued asking, “How do I bind a secondary system with another teammate?”

“Correction, the system is not bound to the flesh but instead feed on the core of the other person’s system. If you would like to do this, the other party has to completely disarm all of its defense mechanisms. The other party has to truly trust the host and allow the host’s system to enter with no resistance. A certain degree of spiritual trust has to be established first.”

After a small pause, the system continued, “Binding a secondary system is extremely difficult with a success rate of less than 1 in a thousand.”

A pail of cold water was thrown at Li Rui’s face. If the conditions are so harsh, with Li Wei’s condition, will she be able to do it?

But he had a backup plan.

He carefully looked at the panel and cold sweat ran down his back.

“Status, why are the summoner spells greyed out?”

“The summoner spells will be activated as you advance.”

“F**k!”

Li Rui frowned. It was such a pain in the ass just to use a healing skill.

However, the activation of the system had given him hope. His eyebrows that were originally in a knot gradually relaxed.

It looks like he’ll have to try and bind systems with Li Wei or to advance levels at a faster speed in order to be able to use the healing skill. The best option was definitely building Runeterra in order to produce more health potions.

Either way, these were much better options for Li Wei compared to the current medical care!

After thinking through this, Li Rui’s mood turned a little better and he felt that the pressure on his shoulders had become a little lighter.

After settling Li Wei’s problem, Li Rui finally had the mood to look through his own system.

He still had a bunch of runes, skills and items that he hasn’t chosen yet!

Upon opening the basic runes column, five familiar runes appeared in front of him.

The runes were glowing in five different colors which corresponded to the five most powerful energies in this entire universe.

[Precision]: Become a legend

[Domination]: Hunt and eliminate prey

[Sorcery]: Unleash destruction

[Resolve]: Live forever

[Inspiration]: Outwit mere mortals

The colors of yellow, red, purple, green, and blue were glowing, and there was an unlimited amount of energy flowing around the runes. Li Rui could faintly feel the horrifying power that came with them.

After trying to open one of them, he realized that he was not able to open it unless the choice had been confirmed.

Li Rui took a moment to think it through, and in the end, he decided to choose the runes that were in green.

[Resolve]: Live forever

Boom!

An emerald green light bloomed in front of Li Rui, and the words [Resolve]gradually became bigger, revealing the talent tree underneath it.

There were three choices in the first row and Li Rui immediately selected[Grasp of the Undying]without any hesitation.

[Grasp of the Undying](Level 1) :

(Active) Your next basic attack on a champion will:

Deal an additional 10 magic damage

You will plunder your enemies’ life and permanently increase your own HP by 1

Cooldown is 24 hours

This was completely different from the game. A passive skill now had become an active skill. The permanent HP increase was now only one point, and the cooldown that was only four seconds had now become 24 hours.

Although he was complaining non-stop, Li Rui did not regret his choice.

The reality was totally different compared to the game. If you died in the game, you would be revived in ten seconds.

But in reality?

If you’re dead, then you’re dead!

An output is only possible if you are alive. So as a tough guy who follows his heart, the first thing that he wanted to do after activating the system was to make himself stronger.

He wanted to become so powerful that even his existence would be a pain to others.

After choosing the basic runes, Li Rui looked at the hero’s basic skills.

As expected, the ultimate skills were still greyed out and could not be selected, whereas there was a shining ‘+’ sign above the other three skills next to it.

These three skills included [Rupture], [Feral Screams], and[Vorpal Spikes].

[Rupture]was a skill where, as he slams the ground, the energy is transmitted through the ground, causing certain targeted grounds to explode. After a short delay, the energy would be blown away, dealing magical damage and slowing enemies down.

However, there was a bug with this skill. The direction or target ground at which the energy is transmitted toward is very obvious and can be easily predicted which also means that it can be easily dodged.

[Vorpal Spikes]has an effect where he is able to launch a volley of three spikes in a line. This causes magic damage and applies a decaying slowing of movements on any enemy hit.

This skill can only be used in close range. Li Rui felt that his close combat skills were still sufficient for now and using this would only be of small help. It wouldn’t be able to make up for his shortcomings.

Therefore, his choices were very obvious.

Without any hesitation, Li Rui selected his only skill:[Feral Scream].

[Feral Scream](Level 1)

This skill releases a horrifying magical sound wave in the target’s direction as he roars, which deals magic damage and silences the target for a moment.

Damage: 1-75 (+70% MP)

Silence: 0-1.6 seconds

Cooldown: depending on the host’s condition and time needed to breathe.

MP used: depending on the host’s selection.

Range: Controlled by the host.

All this mysterious knowledge directly poured into his mind, and the tingling sensation traveling all over his body was making his eyelids jump.

After a moment, the pain gradually died off and Li Rui’s eyes gave off a sharp look.

As if it were inborn, he could now completely control this skill.

The biggest difference from the game was that the fixed damage had now become a floating damage which made more sense in reality.

The damage caused was completely determined by the amount of energy used. Common sense!

There was a trace of cool, flowing energy that was continuously circulating throughout his body, and it finally gathered in between his brows.

Li Rui knew that this was his mana power.

This spot… was similar to a ‘zhi-fu’*!

It was the literal meaning of a space or a physiological state, but it felt as if there were a small magical space deep underneath his brows.

Looks like even this system has to obey the common law!

After choosing his skill, Li Rui turned his attention to the most important column.

Items!

After advancing to Level 1, the system had only given him one initial item slot. The items that could be bought with 500 gold coins were not many, but not too little.

The choice of the first item was very important and was not a joke.

Theoretically speaking, the series that was the most worthy was the Doran’s series, but Li Rui had his own worries.

“System, can I sell items?”

“The bought virtual items will be spiritually bound to the host. They can only be upgraded and cannot be sold.”

Hmm… if that’s the case…

Li Rui rested his chin on his palm and focused on a crystal that was brightly glowing.

[Ruby Crystal]

Price: 400 gold coins

Effect: +150 HP

TL note;

*Zhi-Fu in Chinese has two meanings:

A state or a literal place where ‘heavenly-people’ are in.

An inner-state in the body of those who cultivate towards divinity
