"Host, after analysis, your physical level is the weakest."
"Oh."
"Host, after analysis, your cultivation talent is also the weakest."
"Oh."
"Host, after analysis, you have not practiced any cultivation methods."
"Oh."
"Host, after analysis, you are currently a completely useless trash."
"Could you stop reminding me already?!"
This was the simple exchange between Su Xiaobai and the system he had just activated.
Su Xiaobai was a human from Earth.
Ten minutes ago, he transmigrated to a world that looked identical to Earth but had undergone drastic changes.
In this world, ferocious beasts and mutant monsters roamed freely.
To survive, humanity embarked on the path of warriors, building massive walls and defensive lightning barriers to form human bases that kept the beasts and mutants at bay.
Both ferocious beasts and warriors were divided into levels.
The strongest warriors could fly through the skies, traverse the earth, move mountains, and fill seas, becoming human-shaped nuclear weapons capable of causing cataclysmic destruction with a flick of their fingers!
Thus, in this world, martial prowess reigned supreme.
With power, I can enjoy privileges beyond the reach of ordinary people!
With power, I can win the admiration of countless beauties!
With power, I can effortlessly amass unimaginable wealth and glory!
Realizing this, Su Xiaobai was thrilled.
Although he came from a peaceful and harmonious society…
Although his body had no trace of spiritual energy and was utterly useless…
Although his cultivation aptitude was trash to the point of being negligible…
He had a system!
The melodious voice announcing"System is being activated…"filled him with excitement, making him almost howl at the sky!
However, after the system activation, it informed him that its first function required money to activate—specifically, 100,000 spirit coins!
"100,000 spirit coins… I might as well just kill myself and transmigrate again!"
Su Xiaobai was depressed.
If he were a warrior, he might be able to save up 100,000 spirit coins in a few years. Warriors earned significantly more than ordinary people, with monthly salaries ranging from 1,000 to 4,000 spirit coins.
Moreover, a warrior's income increased as their strength grew.
But I am just a useless, impoverished nobody!
No background, no talent, no strength, and completely broke. If I rely on a regular job, earning less than 100 spirit coins a month, how many lifetimes will it take to save up that much?
"System, can't I pay on credit?"
Su Xiaobai asked, unwilling to give up.
"Host, have you ever heard of a system offering credit?"
The system replied in a sweet and innocent tone.
"Then what use are you even activated for?!"
Su Xiaobai rolled his eyes dramatically.
"Brother!"
At that moment, a sweet, crisp voice came from outside the room.
Su Xiaobai looked up. The door opened to reveal a petite girl around 15 or 16 years old, with a ponytail, fair skin, bright eyes, and a radiant smile. She was as beautiful as a doll.
"Brother, you're awake!"
The girl's cheerful smile was like the first bloom of spring, warming the heart.
Su Xiaobai was momentarily stunned, but his memories quickly reminded him who she was.
Su Ling'er, Su Xiaobai's younger sister.
And also… my child bride.
As the only child of his parents, Su Xiaobai had lost them in a beast invasion years ago. Before their deaths, they adopted Su Ling'er, an orphan, intending for her to become Su Xiaobai's future wife.
From then on, Su Ling'er was raised as a future daughter-in-law, and she herself viewed Su Xiaobai as her destined husband.
"Great. I'm a total loser, broke as dirt… but I still have a fiancée!"
"Though she's stunning, that just makes the burden heavier!"
Su Xiaobai sighed internally.
"Brother, are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?"
Su Ling'er asked sweetly, "I earned 5 spirit coins working for Aunt Fatty next door. Let's go have your favorite beef noodles!"
Hearing this, Su Xiaobai's heart sank.
At 17 years old, still a student, he had been completely reliant on Su Ling'er's odd jobs to support him since their parents' passing.
On good days, she could earn 5 spirit coins.
On bad days, nothing.
"Hey, Ling'er, do we have any savings?"
Su Xiaobai asked tentatively.
"Yes!"
Su Ling'er nodded.
"How much?"
"About… 100,000 spirit coins." Her tone was obedient.
"What?!"
"When did we have so much money?!"
Su Xiaobai leaped up in shock.
He had no idea his family had that kind of wealth!
"It's compensation from the accident that took our parents."
Su Ling'er's voice turned sorrowful.
"Mom told me to keep it hidden and save it for your college tuition."
In this era, university fees were astronomical—like studying abroad in the old days, costing tens of thousands of spirit coins annually.
"I never knew!"
Su Xiaobai was speechless.
But he understood his parents' intentions: they feared he'd squander the money, leaving nothing for college. Their foresight was now proving invaluable.
"Quick, Ling'er, give me all the money!" Su Xiaobai said urgently.
Obediently, Su Ling'er fetched a small box hidden under her bed and handed him a card.
"Host, funds detected!"
"Would you like to spend 100,000 spirit coins to activate the first system function?"
The system chimed in.
"Yes!"
Su Xiaobai agreed without hesitation.
"Congratulations, host! You've unlocked the 'One-Click Cultivation Space'!"
