Early the next morning, Zhou Tong got up very early. Looking at his father, who was still sleeping soundly, and the sweet potato in his hand, he laughed foolishly.
Yesterday's events had truly been too great a blow to Zhou Tong. He had transmigrated, awakened his memories, and obtained the familial love he had dreamed of, causing him to fall into a deep sleep before he could check his cheat.
Zhou Tong used his consciousness to call out to the system.
"System, are you there?"
"Ding ~ The Life-Pushing Upgrade System is at your service.”
"Upgrade system? Hehe, life? The most worthless thing in this era is life. I remember there's a new reward, right? I didn't have the time to look at it yesterday. Take it out and let me see!”
"Taotie Bloodline activated, waiting to be received."
"Eight Mysterious Skills, Six Treasury Immortal Thief, waiting to be received.”
" System panel module activated."
"Life Upgrade System"
[Level: 1 (0/100)]
Name: Zhou Tong
[Lifespan: 10/63]
[Physique: 7 includes strength, speed, reaction, and learning ability. 10 for adults]
[Bloodline: Taotie Bloodline not activated]
[Cultivation Method: Six Treasury Immortal Thief Unclaimed]
[Skills: Cooking-Minor Success, Sprinting-Minor Success.]
"It's really comprehensive. Level 1, it seems that you need to spend your life to upgrade. Six Treasury Immortal Thief? It's really compatible with my system. Taotie bloodline, no wonder I can eat so much.”
"System, receive the Six Treasury Immortal Thief and activate the Taotie Bloodline.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Tong felt a bone-deep pain fill his entire body. However, his father was still sleeping, and he didn't want to disturb him, so he could only force himself to not let himself scream.
The side effect of bloodline awakening was the abnormally high body temperature. Even if he did not want to wake his father up, Zhou Cheng, who sensed the change in temperature, still woke up from his bed.
Seeing that his son was like a red-hot prawn, he instantly panicked. He hurriedly touched Zhou Tong's forehead, wanting to see what was wrong with his child.
In the end, just as his hand touched Zhou Tong's forehead, it was as if he had touched a red-hot stove, and he reflexively withdrew his hand.
For a moment, Zhou Cheng didn't know what to do. Seeing his son's anxious state, he paced around the room. Fortunately, Zhou Tong hadn't activated his bloodline for a long time, so it quickly passed, and the temperature began to drop bit by bit.
At this moment, Zhou Tong felt that his body was filled with an unprecedented power. Furthermore, a Taotie Tattoo Body appeared on Zhou Tong's body. It had the body of a sheep and the face of a human. Its eyes were under its armpits, and it had the teeth of a tiger and the claws of a man.
Zhou Cheng felt the temperature of Zhou Tong's body drop, and he hurriedly supported Zhou Tong and asked,
"Son, what happened just now? Why did you suddenly become like a furnace? Are you alright? You don't know, you scared me to death just now.”
In order not to worry his father, Zhou Tong heartlessly said,
"Father, I don't know what's going on either. It's probably that the gods saw that my son was weak and sent a miracle to treat my son. They wanted me to accompany you more.”
"A miracle? That's great. Now that you've recovered, I'm relieved. Here, put this on. I'll take you to Sand City today.”
Zhou Cheng rummaged through a cabinet and took out Zhou Tong's clothes. Although they were all patched, they were clean and handed them over to Zhou Tong.
Zhou Tong didn't ask any more questions, nor did he think too much about it. He put on his clothes and followed his father towards Sand City.
Since ancient times, Sand City had always been a strategic location for military strategists. No matter from which perspective, this place was a battleground. Especially in recent years, after the regular army came to Sand City, the security was much better.
The bandits were all cleared by the soldiers. Ordinary small forces did not dare to cause trouble in Sand City. The father and son did not encounter any danger on the way and arrived at Sand City.
Zhou Tong's own father seemed to have his own goal. He led Zhou Tong straight to a large manor, and the two of them stopped.
Zhou Tong's father stepped forward and gently knocked on the door. A middle-aged man dressed in brocade walked out of the residence. He looked at Zhou Cheng in puzzlement and asked,
"Old Master, why are you knocking on the door?”
"You must be the butler of the Red Mansion. I am Zhou Shun's father. Last year, didn't Zhou Shun sacrifice himself for the sake of the young second master? The young second master said that if there was anything in the future, you could look for him at any time.”
Zhou Cheng's words caused the butler to be filled with respect. He knew Zhou Shun. He was quick-witted and quick-witted. Last year, the second young master entered the tomb alone for the first time. Due to his lack of experience, an accident occurred when he activated the mechanism.
Just as the second young master was about to die, Zhou Shun stood up and used his life to save the second young master.
"Old Master, please come in. I'll bring you to the living room to rest first. I'll go find the second master.”
With that said, the steward led Zhou Cheng and his son into the Red Mansion. Zhou Tong had a vague feeling that something was wrong, that his father was entrusting him to the second young master.
Zhou Tong was only ten years old this year, and he wasn't very tall. Reaching out to pull at his father's sleeve, he asked straightforwardly,
"Father, don't you want me anymore?"
Zhou Tong's words caused Zhou Cheng's face to turn incomparably ugly, but he quickly adjusted himself. He used his calloused hands to gently stroke Zhou Tong's head and said,
"It's not that I don't want you, but I want you to learn your skills here first. After you learn your skills, I will come and pick you up. * Cough * Cough…"
Before Zhou Cheng could finish, he started coughing again. This time, his voice was even more hoarse, and there was more blood on his hands. It looked like he might die at any moment.
Zhou Tong tugged at Zhou Qiang's sleeve, his gaze resolute as he said,
"Dad, I don't want to learn. Let's go home! When you get home, I'll make roasted sweet potatoes for you.”
Just as Zhou Cheng was about to reply, a young man in a white coat walked in. He looked very handsome and had an outstanding aura.
The person who came was Hong (Hong), the second young master of the Hong family. After learning that his benefactor, his father, had come to visit, he immediately gave up on his martial arts practice and came to the living room.
"Are you Brother Zhou Shun's father, Uncle Zhou Cheng? February Hong (red): I'm sorry.”
Zhou Cheng had lived for a very long time. He was in his fifties and could be said to be very experienced in the way he conducted himself. If he accepted the second young master's gift, although he would also take care of Zhou Tong in the future, it was more of a responsibility.
On the contrary, if he didn't accept it and made him feel guilty, then he would compensate Zhou Tong double.
"Second Young Master, you don't have to be like this. Since my son chose to save you, it was his own will.”
The second young master, who was helped up by Zhou Cheng, still had a look of shame on his face. He really felt that he had let Zhou Shun down by sending his family to look for him.
If they were doing well, they would naturally not seek refuge. Only when they could not survive would they choose this last path.
"Butler, go prepare some food and entertain Uncle Zhou.”
"Young master, there's no need to be like this. I came to look for you this time because I have something to ask of you.”
