Zemirah's first sleep in another world was quite good, not until she was woken up by a sound in her mind.
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully binding the Gift System!]
[Ding! The Host is rewarded with a Novice Package.]
[Ding! Welcome Host!]
Wh-What?
Zemirah's sluggish thoughts vanished as she heard the word 'System'.
System?
The cheat of transmigrators?
The golden finger of protagonists?
She actually has one?
"This?" Zemirah's breathing turned heavy and fast as she thought of having her own system.
Transmigrating is already a lucky encounter, and now she even has her own system. She didn't know how to describe her luck anymore.
"Could I be the daughter of luck?" Zemirah muttered to herself.
[Ding! Host, please don't be delusional. The daughter of luck won't die as frequently as you.]
"Wait, who is that?" Zemirah was shocked at the voice in her head.
[Ding! Greetings, Host, I'm your Gift System.]
Zemirah was confused, "Aren't systems silent and cold that only give missions and rewards?"
How come her system is so talkative?
That was what she knew from the books she read.
[Ding! The Host is mistaken, Systems are cute creations that help people.]
Zemirah couldn't help rolling her eyes and asked, "So what kind of system are you?"
[Ding! I'm the most special system, the Gift System. The Gift System will reward the Host depending on what she gifted other people, from items like Pills and Artifacts to experiences like teaching cultivation techniques. The quantity and quality of the reward for the Host will depend on the relationship between the Host and the receiver of the gift.]
"The Gift System, that's a new system."
"Of course, the Gift System is unique!"
Zemirah smiled as she heard the proud tone.
"But I don't think calling you Gift System is very nice." After thinking about the benefits she'll get, her mind wanders to her System's name.
[Ding! Asking the host to give the system a name.]
"Well, let's call you…" A name popped into her mind. "Sia."
It's almost similar to the word System and felt nice to hear.
[Ding! Thank you, Host, Sia is pleased with her name.]
[Ding! Remind the Host to claim her Novice Package!]
"Wow, there's even a Novice Package?" Zemirah exclaimed happily.
Then she said, "Claim, claim, claim the Novice Package, Sia."
[Ding! The Novice Package is claimed by the host.]
In a mysterious place in Zemirah's mind, a package appeared. Inside the package, five items lay quietly.
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a Supreme-Quality Grade 1 Pill called [Life-Pulling Pill *3]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a Supreme-Quality Late-Stage Grade 1 Array Disk called [Starry Guard Array *1]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a [Talisman Master Enhancing Talent] 5x]
[Congratulations to the Host for receiving a Celestial-Quality Late-Stage Grade 1 Clothing Artifact called [Plum Butterfly Clothing Set]
Dumbfounded, Zemirah listened to the constant noise in her mind as she stared at her Novice Package. She thought she'd only get a little gift, yet who knows, she'll receive a luxurious set.
"Sia, you're so good to me." Zemirah was touched.
No one knows how much trepidation she felt when she arrived at such a strange place. Her body even died before she transmigrated.
The feeling of dying hadn't registered on her yet when she arrived at a body that had just died cruelly.
Only after Sia, her system, arrived did she have someone to talk to. Now she was even gifted with magical items that would help her greatly.
[Ding! You are welcome, Host. Sia and Host will be partners from now on.]
"Yeah, we'll be depending on each other from now on!" Zemirah grinned as she giggled.
"Now, tell me about my novice package." Zemirah rubbed her hand as she stared at the items inside her Novice Package.
There's a miracle-looking pill. There's an array disk that seems to soak in the starry sky. There's a ball of light that flashes with a rainbow. And there is a set of beautiful clothes.
[Ding! [Life-Pulling Pill], a Supreme-Quality Grade 1 Pill made from rare and precious Spiritual Herbs. It has the effects of instant healing and the important effect that can pull back the dead to life if the time of death doesn't surpass 60 breaths of time.]
"That's a miracle pill," Zemirah said absentmindedly after hearing its name and effects.
Keywords like instant healing and pulling life back from death made her dazed with a smile.
With this pill, Zemirah knew that it bought her an extra life. As long as she swallowed it or prepared.
[Ding! The Host is right. However, this Pill can only be effective when used by people in the Foundation Building Realm and below. Above Foundation Building Realm, the pill won't have this amazing effect.]
"Oh, that's understandable." Zemirah nodded.
How can such a good thing not have any limitations?
But for Zemirah, that limitation is meaningless since she, herself, is just a Mid-stage Energy Refinement Realm cultivator.
What Foundation Building Realm and above, it has nothing to do with her.
"Next item!" Zemirah feels like opening a treasure box with Sia. She likes this kind of game.
[Ding! [Starry Guard Array Disk], a Supreme-Quality Late-Stage Grade 1 Array Disk.]
[Details: Forged by a master craftsman from the Grade 2 Starlight Ore that is blessed with the power of stars. It is a special array that has attack, defense, and support functions. A Foundation Building attack can be made once a day, it can also withstand a day of attack from a Foundation Building Realm. The array can automatically collect the power of stars every night to sustain itself.]
"This- This is amazing! It's the one I've been looking for!" Zemirah shouted in excitement as she thought of the array disk's function.
"And how come it can attack and defend with the power of the Foundation Building Realm? Isn't it only a Grade 1 Array disk?" Zemirah asked in confusion.
Grades of items are made so that people can know the limits of that item. Then how come this array disk given by Sia is that amazing?
Noticing her doubts, Sia answered.
[Ding! The Host should understand that arrays are more complicated than talismans and can be used longer at a price. The power they can release is higher than their stage. The [Starry Guard Array] is a Supreme-Quality Late-Stage Grade 1 Array Disk, so the fact that it can touch the Foundation Building Realm is given. Though it was still different from a realm Foudation Building Realm cultivator.]
"Oh, so that's the reason." Zemirah nodded. She understood why Sia added the last sentence, it was probably afraid of her being impetuous and seek death by having the array disk.
Then an idea popped, "Then should I learn array formation?" Zemirah asked Sia.
[Ding! The Host is recommended to learn array formation, but Host should focus on what Host have right now, and that is talisman-making.]
"Ai, I forgot that I'm still stuck in this Teal Tree Forest." She patted her forehead.
"Let's continue now, Sia!" Zemirah brought her focus back.
[Ding! [Talisman Master Enhancing Talent] 5x, a special energy exclusive to the system. The ball of light can enhance the Host's talent in talisman-making by five times.]
Zemirah listened in awe at Sia's words, "Really? Then I will become a real genius after eating it?"
This body's talent isn't outstanding, it was only average compared to the real geniuses from large sects and forces. The best this body's potential can achieve is to make a Peak-Stage Grade 1 talisman.
Now with this item for enhancing talent, she could reach a higher achievement that was deemed impossible before.
"Okay, okay, the last one, Sia!" Zemirah immediately wanted to consume the enhancing talent. So she's in a hurry to get the last gift.
[Ding! [Plum Butterfly Clothing Set], a Celestial-Quality Late-Stage Grade 1 Clothing Artifact]
[Details: This magical artifact is a clothing set refined by a spiritual weaver master by luck. It has basic functions like dust removal and water-fire-frost proof. The most important function is its concealing ability. No one below the Mind Activation Realm can see through the face and the realm of the owner of the artifact. It also has a defensive function against small soul attacks.]
"I seem to hear that this clothing set is a Celestial-Quality? Is the Celestial-Quality the quality above Supreme?" Zemirah noticed something from the system's words and asked.
[Ding! Yes, Host. Celestial-Quality items can produce special effects on the items.]
"I see, so the legend is true." Zemirah nodded as she calmly confirmed that the legend that cultivators were looking for was true.
"Sia, you're the best!" She shouted in her heart after seeing the set of beautiful clothing. It was a perfect combination of pink and purple and embroidery of plum blossoms and butterflies. The set includes a robe, a cloak and a veil.
Zemirah felt her fashionista heart bloom in happiness.
[Ding! Sia is only the best to the Host!]
Sia's mechanical voice seemed happy in Zemirah's ear. She thought that her cute system wasn't the cold system in her mind.
But she liked it.
"Now, let's use my Novice Gifts." Zemirah rubbed her hand in preparation for the exciting part.
"Take out the [Heart Bloom Viel and Robe Set]!" Zemirah then saw the clothing set materialize in front of her.
She happily changed into her beautiful robe and wore the veil. The veil perfectly hid half of her face and only showed her alluring fox eyes. She did not take out the cloak since the robe and veil were enough.
Zemirah touched the comfortable and soft texture of her clothes, the veil didn't make her uncomfortable at all.
"Now, the enhancing talent!" This is the one she awaits the most.
A colorful light appeared, floating in front of her. Zemirah carefully took the ball in her hand.
"How do I take this, Sia?" Zemirah forgot to ask earlier how to consume this ball.
[Ding! The Host can just eat the light ball.]
"Oh, okay."
Zemirah swallowed the ball of light. She didn't feel anything at first, like she had eaten cotton candy. Sweet and easily gone.
Just as she was about to ask Sia again, something inside her exploded. It was a mysterious energy that suddenly started running all over her body. It wants to change every part of her to be more perfect.
"Sia, what's happening?" Her voice trembled as she observed the strange scene inside her body.
[Ding! The mysterious energy will cleanse your body to be more suitable for a talisman master. It will strengthen your body and spiritual consciousness. Your comprehension will also be enhanced greatly.]
Just as Sia said, Zemirah felt her body change in a good way. It was subtle, as nothing can be seen on the surface. But deep inside her, everything changed completely.
Zemirah felt her body lighten and her mind clearer. When she looked at talismans, she felt different. Like those papers that she only saw as materials became closer and more intimate.
"So this is how those geniuses feel." Zemirah nodded, satisfied.
"It's like seeing the world differently."
The plain world became magical and interesting.
After that, she took out the array disc and operated it. The array disc needed a spiritual stone to start, but it can operate on its own with the help of stars.
Then she started refining her talisman pen, making it her soul-marked magical artifact. She refined her clothing artifact afterward.
As long as she didn't give it to others, no one could use it. Well, only if they killed her. But at that time, she will destroy all her belongings so as not to benefit her enemies.
Just like how the original owner threw away her storage bag.
The magical artifacts established a connection with her, they are now marked with her spiritual consciousness.
Cultivators have a way to erase spiritual marks, so Sia advised her to always try to refine her artifacts to deepen the mark and connection. That way, she can easily use her artifacts and make it difficult for others to erase her mark.
As for the pills, she didn't take them out. Sia said that the system can help her keep the rewards in a space only she can access.
It took three days to refine three artifacts, it was on the fourth day that Zemirah decided to try her talisman talent.
She took out the same set of talisman-making materials that she used last time.
She started making the familiar talisman. Indeed, as Sia said, the enhancement of talent changed her talent greatly.
What took her hours to complete was done within a few minutes. The quality of the talismans is even two times higher, the Common-Quality talisman before is now Outstanding-Quality. She even manages to make another kind of talisman that is harder to make.
An Offensive Talisman called [Frost Wave Talisman]. It is a Middle-Stage Grade 1 Talisman. The quality she made is Uncommon, yet that is already impressive.
"I will create another set of defensive talismans and then end this seclusion." Zemirah planned and then started her work again.
She made another Middle-Stage Grade 1 Talisman called [Earth Guard Talisman]. It was only a Common-quality at first before she eventually made Outstanding-Quality ones.
Zemirah put more effort into defensive talismans since she knew they could be used to protect herself.
After another day of seclusion, she finally decided to come out of her cave.
"Although making a talisman is fun, it's not fun anymore after so long." Zemirah was about to be bored to death.
"I should go to Teal River Town first to ask for news and purchase some resources, then find a place to settle down."
Zemirah doesn't have a sect anymore, she also doesn't know if the enemy sect is looking for remnants like her. Then there are the Demonic Cultivators that just killed her, if they saw her alive and well, they might think of something.
Like her having a peerless treasure or whatever to come back from the dead. It would be a disaster.
Wearing her veil that hides her face, Zemirah also discovered some hidden functions of her clothing artifact. She found out that it could hide her, even if people were looking at her, they wouldn't be able to remember her appearance afterward.
They can only remember that they saw a beautiful veiled lady.
