Today, Ye Liang was in an especially good mood.
Not only had he driven away Danzo, but he'd also secured a powerful position within Konoha—things were truly going his way.
In the Rear Mountainous Area,
Inside a modest wooden hut.
Hinata was following Chen Baojun's movements, learning from him.
[Leaf Dragon God!]
Chen Baojun roared. A massive white dragon surged upward, twisting with violent winds. It didn't just uproot nearby trees—it tore through the ground itself, leaving deep, jagged scars.
[Hinata's skills have improved again.]
Ye Liang crouched atop the roof of the wooden hut, watching Hinata train under Chen Baojun's guidance.
He had personally arranged for Hinata to train under Chen. Because of past events, Ye Liang's relationship with the Hyuga clan had been severed, and for his sake, Hinata had also cut all ties with her family.
In times like these, a girl with no one to rely on had to grow strong just to survive.
Ye Liang had two reasons for choosing Chen as her mentor—one was respect for Chen's strength, the other was interest in the martial arts he had mastered.
The Nine Yin Manual?
What would happen if Hinata learned it?
She already had the Byakugan—an ability that allowed her to see through an opponent's vital points. One strike of the Nine Yin Skeleton Claw, and her enemy wouldn't stand a chance!
That was seriously awesome!
Lying back on the rooftop, Ye Liang slipped into a meditative state.
Before long,
He found himself inside his vast, blank mental space.
I wonder what that strange system prompt was about earlier?
Ye Liang was very curious about that system voice.
Previously, the prompts had always been robotic and emotionless, but this time there were actual emotional inflections!
It clearly showed signs of human emotion!
He looked up.
The spherical orb was still floating above him.
System Missy? How about coming down and chatting?
Ye Liang casually said.
No way! I think Master isn't a good person.
A female voice replied, and the white orb quivered slightly!
It's alive!
Stunned, Ye Liang immediately leapt upward, flying toward the orb.
Within his own spiritual space, he controlled everything—he had no trouble flying.
Soon, Ye Liang reached the orb's side.
Knock knock knock! Try speaking again.
He gave the orb a couple of light knocks.
No! Master isn't a good person, so I don't want to talk to you!
How do you know I'm not a good person? Have I ever harmed you?
Because you've gathered so many girlfriends, and you like doing naughty things—I've seen everything! You're such a player!
...
Ye Liang was momentarily speechless.
So all his previous actions had been observed by this system.
Wait... But didn't you lack consciousness before? How did you remember all this?
Who says I lacked consciousness! The system huffed angrily. I simply lost my ability to speak before—that doesn't mean I couldn't remember anything. I've seen everything you've done!
Uh... So now you're...
I got fixed, didn't I?
Ye Liang suddenly thought back to the incident at the Immortal Sovereign's temple!
The system had been restored by the Immortal Sovereign of Eternity—no wonder it had regained consciousness!
He suddenly understood everything.
"So, since you've been fixed, do you have any additional functions or can you grant me some sort of 'golden finger' abilities?" he asked quickly.
No one can resist the temptation of a 'golden finger'. If someone could, they wouldn't really be a transmigrator!
"I'm afraid not, dear user," it replied cheerfully. "Even though I've been repaired, my original soul is no longer inside me, so I can't unlock the System's treasure vault! Sorry about that!"
"Uh…"
Since when did AI customer service get this talkative?
Ye Liang really wanted to throw a sarcastic remark — but this wasn't the time.
"Then how are you even speaking now?"
He felt quite curious.
In Ye Liang's understanding,
once a person loses their soul, they should become a thoughtless corpse. But this System wasn't like that at all.
"It's because I'm a newly repaired consciousness!" the System said solemnly. "It's like when a person loses their memory but stays alive!"
"Although I lost my soul, under the repair of strange energy, another consciousness was born — you could also say it's another soul."
"A second soul?" Ye Liang fell into thought.
After all, the System wasn't human, so naturally couldn't be interpreted using human common sense.
A second soul? Could this be like backup data?
Suddenly, inspiration struck him.
"Then what exactly is this treasure vault you mentioned earlier? Can I use it?"
He couldn't help but ask eagerly.
From what the System had said, this treasure vault seemed to be something extraordinary!
There might be great treasures inside!
"Of course you can!" the System's voice sounded again. Soon after, another interface suddenly appeared before Ye Liang's eyes.
Rows upon rows of countless treasure shadows!
[Ultraman Transformation Device!]
Magnum AWM!
[Nine Secrets Jutsu!]
[Azure Origin Sword Manual!]
...
999 Dermatitis Relief Cream!
"Holy crap! How the hell do I take these out?!" Ye Liang exclaimed anxiously.
Each item here, if taken out, would be an earth-shaking divine artifact, yet all were stored in this tiny System!
"Sorry, Master!"
The System's voice sounded again: "These treasures were left behind by the previous master while traveling across thousands worlds. Only the original System has the password to open them. I'm only a newly formed consciousness, and I don't know the access code."
"What the heck! Then why even show me this?!"
Ye Liang clicked into one interface. Just as he tried to retrieve an item, he found indeed that a password was required.
Looking closer, it was a 14-digit number...
This could take forever to guess correctly!
He opened another one.
[Azure Origin Sword Manual].
Only a 10-digit password?
"Why is this password shorter?"
Puzzled, Ye Liang asked. The System also shook slightly.
"I don't know either. Regarding information about the previous master, I know absolutely nothing. I only know about events starting from when I met you."
"Then what good are you to me!" Ye Liang lamented helplessly.
Then he tried unlocking several passwords.
Suddenly he noticed — the higher-grade the item, the more digits the password had!
Take something like [True Nirvana Demon Body]!
Something that looked incredibly powerful, yet its password had an astonishingly high number of digits! Even if he tried ten thousand numbers a day, it would still take billions of years to crack it.
And that was assuming he never got any wrong guesses along the way.
"The hell?! Was the original user of this System a computer? Who could possibly memorize all this crap?!"
He tried a few shorter ones: [Mystical Palm Technique], [Taizu Long Fist], and [Eight Trigrams Staff] - common martial arts techniques.
A three-digit password!
That's seriously it?!
Ye Liang suddenly froze.
He secretly tapped on the "999 PiYanNing" option and pressed '9'. It actually worked!
"Congratulations to the Master for cracking the hidden treasure chamber password!"
"May the Master enjoy boundless fortune and live as long as the heavens themselves!"
You think I'm some kind of Hong Sect Leader...
Ye Liang felt speechless.
But what good would cracking it do anyway? Was he gonna smack someone with PiYanNing? Maybe it'd help with foot fungus...
"Oh right, you said you developed consciousness. Can you type?" Ye Liang asked.
"Master, what are you planning to do?"
"Help me try different passwords! Not too many, just several thousand attempts a day."
"S-several thousand... attempts... Master!"
"I believe in you!"
