First Purchase
'Godly Revival System? Is that my Golden Finger?'
Ethan was deeply moved, his heart swelling with emotion. If he were still in his body, tears would have undoubtedly welled up in his eyes.
That's right! Ethan was not in his body. He was currently in soul form, observing the series of notifications that appeared in front of him.
'Not only can I revive once a week, but I can also get my killer's stats?'
Learning about the abilities of the Godly Revival System, Ethan was excited.
In this dog-eat-dog cultivation world, where he had been killed just after his transmigration, Ethan was obviously happy with such a cheat that could make him stronger with each death.
'However, I still need to be careful since I can revive only once a week.'
Thanks to the work life in his previous world, when focused, Ethan was quick with his thinking. He analyzed his situation while observing the new series of system notifications.
'Ding,
A Welcome Gift Package has been issued for activating the system.
'Ding,
The host has received 69 Life Points that can be used to buy his killer's stats.
'Ding,
Do you want to check the Interface of Killer's Stats to see what you can buy?
Looking at the system notifications, Ethan had lots of questions. However, the last notification piqued his curiosity.
'Yes.'
Hence, he decided to check it and see exactly how he could buy his killer's stats.
[Interface of Killer's Stats]
[1) [Cultivation] Level 6 Qi Refining Stage - 60 Life Points]
[2) [Cultivation Technique] Shadow Steps (Beginner Stage) - 50 Life Points]
[3) [Inventory] A bottle of Qi Refining Pills - 10 Life Points]
[Available Life Points: 69]
Note: The available items in the [Interface of Killer's Stats] will reset in a week. Please buy them before that.
Soon, an interface appeared in front of Ethan with three things available for purchase along with their price.
'Can I really increase my cultivation just like that?'
Ethan still felt like he was dreaming.
The reason why Kai, the original owner of the body, was kicked out of the sect was that he could not break through to Level 2 Qi Refining despite cultivating for an entire year.
However, with his available Life Points, he could reach a cultivation level that would take years for others in a single moment.
'I can even learn a cultivation technique up to the Beginner Stage with Life Points.'
Shadow Steps was a unique cultivation technique for assassins, and since Ethan was killed by an assassin, it appeared on the interface.
'Not just cultivation and cultivation techniques, but I can also purchase items in my killer's possession.'
What shocked Ethan even more was the last item on the interface.
It wasn't the bottle of Qi Refining Pills that shocked him, but rather the ability to buy the things in his killer's possession.
'I want to buy all three of them; however, I have limited Life Points. So, I can only choose the most useful and valuable one for my current situation.'
Although it had only been a few moments since Ethan's transmigration, he had already gained a basic understanding of this world.
Without cultivation, having a powerful cultivation technique was useless. And with his current cultivation at Level 1 Qi Refining Stage, having that unique cultivation technique wouldn't be helpful yet.
From Kai's memories, Ethan could tell how dangerous this world was, and having a good cultivation base was what he currently needed most.
However, he didn't want to miss out on obtaining a good cultivation technique either.
'Wait a second. There is still the Welcome Gift Package.'
As Ethan didn't want to miss out on a unique cultivation technique like [Shadow Steps], he thought of the Welcome Gift Package he had received from the system earlier.
'Ding,
Do you want to open the Welcome Gift Package?'
As though sensing his thoughts, the Godly Revival System prompted Ethan about the Gift Package.
'Yes.'
Ethan readily agreed without thinking much.
'Ding,
The host has opened the Welcome Gift Package.
'Ding,
The host has received 100 Life Points.
'Ding,
The host has received a Free Purchase Voucher (Small).
Note: Using this, the host can exchange an item that costs less than 100 Life Points from the [Interface of the Killer's Stats].
'Ding,
The host has received a Revival Life Card.
Note: Using this, the host can revive once; however, unlike the system's weekly revival, you can't buy the killer's stats from this revival.
From the Welcome Gift Package, Ethan received three things, making him excited.
'Excellent. With additional Life Points, I can not only buy the cultivation but also the cultivation technique.'
No matter how excited he was, Ethan suppressed his excitement and thought for a moment regarding his purchase.
'Let's save the Free Purchase Voucher for next time and use the Life Points.'
Since he could exchange an item worth 100 Life Points, Ethan felt it was unwise to use it now.
Hence, Ethan made his decision to purchase using his available Life Points.
'Ding,
The host has spent 60 Life Points to buy a cultivation of Level 6 Qi Refining Stage.
'Ding,
The host has spent 50 Life Points to buy a cultivation technique, [Shadow Steps], along with a mastery of the Beginner Stage.
'Ding,
Available Life Points: 59.
'Ding,
The purchased items will be applied upon revival.
Soon, a series of system notifications resounded in Ethan's mind, confirming his purchases.
'So that's why I didn't feel any changes.'
If not for the last system notification, Ethan might have panicked for a moment.
'But when will I revive?'
In the next second, Ethan had a doubt, to which he instantly received a reply from the system.
'Ding,
The host needs to wait for an hour after death before the revival process begins.
'Ding,
During this hour, the host can still observe his surroundings by spending a Life Point.
'I need an hour to revive? That's not a problem.'
Reviving was a blessing, and Ethan had no complaints about waiting an hour. Even if it took a day, a week, or a month, Ethan would patiently wait.
'Since there is nothing else to do now, I'll check my surroundings.'
Currently, Ethan's soul was in a void. Other than the system notifications and interface, there was nothing around him.
So, he decided to spend a Life Point to observe his surroundings.
Mainly, Ethan wanted to see his body and confirm whether the assassin had left.
'Ding,
The host has spent one Life Point to enable [Soul Sight] for an hour.
'Swiish'
Following the system notification, Ethan's view shifted from darkness back to the cave where he had died.
'That bastard is still here... and he's... cutting off my head?'
Ethan's mind reeled as the gruesome scene unfolded before him—the assassin crouched over his lifeless body, calmly slicing through the neck with a dagger, severing his head with chilling precision.
