One, Dao Tradition Inheritance System Bai Yu, currently a small employee in a small company, leads an ordinary life that couldn't be more mundane. His day consists of going to and from work, eating, and sleeping. Due to his average looks and lack of economic foundation, he has never had a girlfriend. He often envies couples, and he has tried to find a match several times, but this society is harsh. Without economic security, no one would entrust their future to him, so the outcome has always been tragic.
"Bai Yu, shall we have a few drinks after work?" The speaker was Li Xiaofeng, a close friend and the only good friend Bai Yu had in the small company. He was chuckling and trying to persuade Bai Yu.
Bai Yu hesitated, "I have to work tomorrow, so it's not good to drink. Remember last time, I skipped work after drinking with you and got scolded by the boss." He still vividly remembered the boss's glare.
"Fear not, we'll just drink a little less today." Li Xiaofeng continued to urge. "Alright, but we have to be careful." Drinking with friends occasionally to bond and relieve work pressure, he agreed.
...
As they started drinking, Bai Yu realized it was a bad choice. Li Xiaofeng forgot his earlier words and drank heavily. By the end, Bai Yu was so drunk he couldn't tell east from west.
On his way home, Bai Yu's mind was hazy. He didn't even remember how he got back to his small rented room, and he fell asleep on the bed without taking off his clothes. At that moment, a purple light like a meteor flew from the sky and hit the window next to his bed. It passed through the glass as if there were no obstacles and struck his forehead, then disappeared into it.
The green light entered his mind and quickly scanned the information in his brain. A faint, ethereal voice echoed, "Collecting data... Data collection complete. End of the Law Era, inheriting the Dao tradition, generating the Dao tradition inheritance system... Generating... Generation complete." "Organizing data... Organization complete. Checking host's basic information, check successful. Due to the host's drunkenness, the system automatically recognizes the host."
Bai Yu gradually woke up from his daze, slowly opening his eyes. The golden floor seemed to cool his body, dissipating much of the alcohol. However, he was suddenly startled and jumped up. Where was this place? He saw a huge golden palace. Eight massive golden pillars stood inside, carved with dragons and phoenixes, exuding a powerful aura. At the top was a throne, about ten feet off the ground, with nine golden dragons coiled around it, emitting a formidable presence that made Bai Yu break out in a cold sweat. He exclaimed, "Where am I? Why am I here?"
An ethereal voice whispered in his ear, "This is the internal space of the Dao tradition inheritance system. Welcome, host." Bai Yu was even more shocked and shouted, "Who is it? Come out, don't play tricks."
But there was no response. After waiting for about ten minutes, Bai Yu became anxious. Could this be a kidnapping? But what could he be kidnapped for? He remembered the words, "internal space of the Dao tradition inheritance system." His eyes widened. A system? Isn't that something from novels? Looking at the palace, he doubted any kidnapper could have such a place. He cleared his throat and cautiously asked, "System?"
The ethereal voice, like a gentle breeze, replied, "Yes, host." Bai Yu was overjoyed but still asked, "What can you do?" As he spoke, a virtual display screen appeared before him.
"Host: Bai Yu Age: 23 Race: Human Constitution: 5 [Average for Earth humans] Spirit Power [Magic Power]: None Skills [Techniques]: None Magical Artifacts [Treasures]: None Soul [Yuan Shen] Strength: 7 [Average for Earth humans is 5, host has been modified by the system to 7]."
Below were some options: "Sands World Selection," "Small World Selection," "Large World Selection," "Dao Canon Exchange Categories," "Magical Artifact Exchange Categories," etc. Next to it was a number box showing "100."
Bai Yu, suppressing his joy, asked, "Am I going to travel to these worlds to complete tasks?" "Yes, host." "Oh." Bai Yu pointed at the number and asked curiously, "What is this?" The system, in a voice devoid of emotion, replied, "That is the host's current exchange points. They can be used to quickly learn various techniques or exchange magical artifacts."
Bai Yu was filled with joy and eager to understand the Dao tradition inheritance system. "Can I exchange now?" "Yes, but I hope the host can wait a moment," the system said.
Bai Yu asked, puzzled, "Why?" The system replied, "The host can first select a suitable world to enter, then choose to exchange based on the situation." Bai Yu realized that these worlds contained unknown dangers. If he impulsively exchanged for something trivial and the system forced him to enter these worlds, he would have no place to cry. It was better to ask clearly. "System, how often are worlds selected, and how do I get exchange points?"
The system answered, "Worlds are generally selected every seven days. Exchange points must be obtained in the worlds, either by trading items or completing tasks." Bai Yu asked, "How are the worlds selected? Randomly or by choice?" "The system will select suitable worlds based on the host's situation."
Bai Yu was tempted to select a world, perhaps hoping to see the items available for exchange. He asked, "Will I enter the world immediately after selection?" "No, the host will have ten minutes to prepare." Bai Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked up to the virtual display screen. However, he did not select a world immediately but opened the Dao Canon Exchange Categories.
The virtual display screen blurred and then solidified, showing three categories: "Mortal," "Immortal," and "Saint." Bai Yu resisted the temptation of the "Saint" category and opened the "Mortal" category. He was aware that one hundred exchange points wouldn't make him a powerhouse. The screen changed, and Bai Yu asked the system, "List the items I can exchange now."

看着这两个物品,白羽眼中冒光,就眼前这些就能让人有法力,那以后不是……想到自己掐个法诀天上下钞票的情形,白羽不由迷失了。以后还用累死累活的工作么?不过现在想这些还太早,首先是让自己变强,万一自己在那个世界挂掉了,那还能有那机会?白羽问道:“系统,我要穿越的那些世界都是什么样的。”
“是系统根据宿主所在世界的一些影视剧所连接的世界,宿主应该有印象。”“影视剧?”白羽有些不可思议道:“真的有那些世界么?”
“理论上来说大部分是存在的,人的意念的力量是有着令人意想不到的能力的。”
“那都是一些什么题材的影视剧?”白羽问出了关键问题。
“用地球人类的说法,是神话题材。”
白羽点了点头,心道这么说来,便是那些存在仙法妖术的世界,而以自己现在所能进入的世界大概是那些没有那些绝对非人力量的世界,可能是一些香港的鬼片或僵尸片。而自己这一百点兑换点应用到对自己最有帮助的才行,而还有便是自己必须要熟知剧情,熟知剧情对自己的帮助现在比一味提升自己的实力更加有用,往往能在关键时候保住自己一命。于是他强压下自己的冲动,决定先出去搜集资料,再将自己的那一份可怜的工作辞掉。
于是他向系统问道:“我该怎么出去?”
“宿主在心里默念‘出去’便可。反之默念进入便可进入。”白羽照做,果然他只觉精神一阵晃忽,下一刻便发现自己已躺在了自己出租屋的床上。白羽猛地坐起身来,望着窗外刺目的阳光,静静地发了一会呆。猛然掐了自己的大腿一下,疼得他呲牙咧嘴,然后心中有默喊道:“系统你在么?”
“是的宿主。”
“哈哈哈,没事没事。”他猛地大笑着跳下了床,情不自禁的手舞足蹈了起来,跳到床上又跳下去,趴到地上做两个俯卧撑,又做几个格斗姿势。幸好这里只他一人,不然被人看见还以为他疯了。不过想他的反应属于正常反应,是一个普通人在得了五百万彩票时的心情。“咚”乐极生悲白羽摔倒在了地上,两只脚还搭在床上。不过他并没在意而是拉开窗帘又是一阵大笑。有邻居听到了这传来的动静,都不由心里暗附,那人不是收到了什么打击傻掉了吧?

Looking at these two items, Bai Yu's eyes sparkled. Just these could give him some magical power, and then in the future, he wouldn't have to work so hard. Imagining himself casting a spell and making money rain from the sky, he was lost in thought. Would he still have to work so hard in the future? But thinking about it now was too early. First, he needed to become stronger. If he died in one of those worlds, he wouldn't have any opportunities. Bai Yu asked, "System, what kind of worlds will I travel to?"
"The worlds are connected to some films and TV shows from the host's world, which the host should be familiar with." "Films and TV shows?" Bai Yu was incredulous. "Are those worlds real?"
"Most of them theoretically exist. The power of human intention is beyond imagination."
"What kind of films and TV shows?" Bai Yu asked the key question.
"Using Earth human terms, they are mythological themes."
Bai Yu nodded, thinking that these were worlds with immortal techniques and magical arts. The worlds he could enter now were likely those without absolute supernatural powers, possibly some Hong Kong ghost or zombie films. He needed to use his 100 exchange points to get something that would help him the most, and he needed to be familiar with the plot. Knowing the plot would be more useful than just enhancing his strength, often saving his life in critical moments. He suppressed his impulse and decided to go out and gather information first, then quit his miserable job.
He asked the system, "How do I go out?"
"The host can mentally say 'go out' to leave. Conversely, saying 'enter' will bring you back." Bai Yu did as instructed and felt a moment of dizziness. The next moment, he found himself lying on his bed in his rented room. He sat up abruptly, looked at the glaring sunlight outside, and sat in silence for a moment. He pinched his thigh, wincing in pain, and then mentally called out, "System, are you there?"
"Yes, host."
"Ha ha ha, it's fine, it's fine." He burst into laughter, jumped out of bed, and started dancing around. He jumped on the bed, then off, did a couple of push-ups on the floor, and some martial arts poses. Fortunately, he was alone, or people might have thought he was crazy. But his reaction was normal, like someone who had just won a five million lottery. "Thud" — he fell to the ground, his feet still on the bed. However, he didn't mind and pulled the curtains open, laughing again. Neighbors who heard the noise wondered if he had received some shocking news and gone mad.
