> "So, what can the system actually do?"
Shangguan Binghen raised a mental eyebrow, already half-expecting something outrageous.
In response, the system spirit, Ling'er, paused for a moment before replying in her sweet, clear voice.
> "The Fate Plunder System currently includes several core functions: Fate Plundering, Lottery, Body and Energy Enhancement, Skill Acquisition, World Travel, and Scanning. There are also a few additional features that may be unlocked later."

🌀 Fate Plundering
Allows you to steal Fate Energy from people around you.
Those with diminished fate values will experience increasing misfortune. If their fate value reaches zero, they may die under mysterious circumstances.
Tier 1 Plundering: Can steal 20–50 Fate Points from a target.
This ability has a cooldown of once every three days (but can be stored).
However, you may only plunder a specific target once per day, regardless of stored uses.

🌟 Fate Points Can Be Used For:
1. Lottery Draws (Random Rewards):
Basic Draw: 30 points
Intermediate Draw: 200 points
Advanced Draw: 2,000 points
More tiers unlock as you progress.
2. Physical & Energy Enhancement
Spending Fate Points can permanently strengthen your body and energy reserves.
3. Skill Plundering or Copying
You can spend Fate Points to steal or copy skills from others.
Success rate depends on the skill level:
Stealing Basic Skill: 30 points – 80% success rate
Intermediate Skill: 30 points – 10% success rate
Advanced Skill: 30 points – 0% success rate
To plunder higher-tier abilities:
Intermediate Plunder Technique: 200 points
Advanced Plunder Technique: 2,000 points
...and so on.

🌍 World Travel Feature
Once every 7 days, you can travel to another world. The danger level of the world is randomized.
Alternatively, spend Fate Points to influence the destination:
30 points – Adjust time flow in a basic world
100 points – Mid-tier world control
500 points – High-tier world control
Without spending points, time will continue to flow normally in this world while you're away.

🔍 Scanning
Allows you to view detailed information about a target stats, abilities, fate level, etc.

> "That's the current functionality of the Fate Plunder System," Ling'er finished cheerfully.
---
> "That's... insanely powerful,"
Shangguan Binghen muttered internally, equal parts amazed and impressed.
Fate, after all, was one of the most intangible and important things in any fantasy world. Characters blessed with immense fate always became protagonists luck bending in their favor, dangers resolving themselves, destiny protecting them from death.
And those with low fate?
They were background characters at best—fodder at worst. The kind of people who'd accidentally walk into a bullet's path or slip on a banana peel and break their neck. The system could forcibly strip that luck from others. It was terrifying.
> "By the way, Ling'er… You said these are the system's current features. That implies more will unlock later?"
Shangguan Binghen asked, hope flickering in his chest.
> "Of course! Right now, your strength is still too low, and your Fate Points are insufficient. Some functions remain locked behind privilege levels. Even Fate Plundering is still at its basic tier you can only extract a small portion from each person."
Ling'er confirmed his suspicion in her usual sugary tone.
> "Just as I thought..."
He nodded in satisfaction. The system was already impressive, and this was just the beginning. The future held even more potential.
> "Ah! Almost forgot!"
Ling'er suddenly gasped as if something had just occurred to her.
"I'm so sorry, Master. I forgot to issue your Newcomer Gift Pack!"
> "Newcomer Gift Pack?"
A smile lit up Shangguan Binghen's face. That devilishly charming grin immediately sent a few nearby girls into a dreamy daze even if they didn't know why.
Suddenly, a beautifully wrapped gift box appeared in front of him visible only to his eyes. It was just like something out of a video game, and his heartbeat quickened with excitement.
> "Tap it to open it, Master~"
Ling'er chimed helpfully.
With a touch of his finger, the box burst open with a flash of fireworks, and a single glowing book floated gently into view.
> "This is the Divine Force Cultivation Method! The power you cultivate from this can be transformed into any kind of energy be it chakra, magic, holy power, spiritual energy, or ki. And it won't lose any quality or quantity in the process!"
Seeing his confused look, Ling'er quickly explained.
> "Whoa…"
Shangguan Binghen nodded in satisfaction. In anime worlds like this, the power systems were a mess chakra here, magic there, spiritual pressure in another arc... It was a logistical nightmare. But with a universal, adaptable energy system? That changed everything. No more worrying about energy compatibility.
Without hesitation, he tapped the book.
Instantly, an overwhelming flood of profound knowledge poured into his mind. Symbols, diagrams, breathing techniques, energy flow routes it all imprinted itself into his consciousness as he silently absorbed it.

Ding-ling-ling~!
The school bell rang, signaling the end of class. Shangguan Binghen slowly opened his crystal-blue eyes, now glowing faintly with an otherworldly light. His already enigmatic aura now shimmered with divine sharpness, leaving the entire class stunned.
The girls?
They couldn't look away.
