Starting with no spiritual roots: beginning with being bound to the bad luck system

As usual, Yunguang Village was bustling with activity in the evening.

Uncle Yun, who had taken in the Yun Shizhu brothers in the village, chased after the two children with a broom, yelling as he did so, "You little rascals, I'm back from drinking at Old Wang's house, and the big water vat at home isn't even full yet!"

The village children had no entertainment, so Uncle Yun and his two companions' antics made them giggle. "Uncle Yun is drunk again."

"Let's take care of the burden."

The two boys being chased and beaten were seven or eight years old. They still had the strength to run and were not caught by Uncle Yun for a while.

The child, finding it boring that the burden kept running around and coming back, picked up a pebble from the ground and threw it at the child, giggling, "Hitting the burden!"

Missed the target? No joy! Keep picking up the pieces, throw again—

Yun Yuzhu, who was running ahead, wasn't hit, but a pebble struck his foot, causing him immediate pain. Seven years after being reborn, his long-awaited golden finger had finally arrived—

"Ding Ding Ding"

Is the "Bad Luck System Panel" bound to the account?

Yunshizhu was too busy running around to pay attention.

Uncle Yun chased the two around for a few laps, then got tired. "You brats, what are you running for? Hurry up and help your uncle back! After the spirit test at the Heavenly Sword Sect, I'll sell you two lazybones to the matchmaker!"

Hearing this, Yun Shizhu knew that the matter of Uncle Yun's drunken outburst and assault was considered over, but what about the Heavenly Sword Sect's spirit testing...?

He originally thought he was reborn into an ancient farming family.

Half a month later.

In Yunguang Village, children of the appropriate age lined up to have their spiritual roots tested. When it was Yun Shizhu's turn, the result was not ideal—he had no spiritual roots.

Having been reborn into this world, I had just begun to experience the joy of cultivating immortality when this devastating news came, leaving me feeling utterly resentful.

As for his twin brother Yun Yuzhu, who was standing behind him, his hand touched the spirit-testing plate—and a white light shone up.

"A mutated ice spirit root!" The spirit tester was overjoyed!

Then, at the spiritualist's suggestion, I stood to the side.

Yun Shizhu had long since descended from the spirit-testing platform and was watching from below, her heart far from calm. A few days ago, Uncle Yun had said that if someone wasn't selected after the spirit-test, they would be sent to the official residence.

"Ding Ding Ding"

Is the "Bad Luck System Panel" bound to the account?

Yun Shizhu almost thought he was hallucinating. The voice echoed in his mind several times before he silently recited the binding command.

Open the panel —

Host: Maranthus

Bad luck value: 1

Misfortune struck Yun Shizhu in the original world; he was already unlucky, and upon arriving in this world, he was still a mortal without spiritual roots.

Having the opportunity to meet an "immortal" is already an extremely lucky thing.

This number, Yunshizhu thinks, represents a bad luck value of 1 for someone without spiritual roots.

Scroll down further and you'll see the "Bad Luck Exchange" section—

Manifestation Root: Bad Luck Value 3

Note: Everyone has spiritual roots, but some people's spiritual roots are hidden.

In other words, if he exchanges for "manifestation of spiritual roots," his spiritual roots will manifest! Unfortunately, he doesn't have enough bad luck points right now.

Yun Shizhu had never been so grateful for his bad luck. At this moment, he smiled, a silent smile.

"Hey, you little burden, you're going to be sold to a matchmaker!" the child throwing stones said gloatingly to Yunshizhuxin.

Everyone in Yunguang Village knows that the village custom is that after each spirit-testing ceremony, a matchmaker comes to the village to select the remaining children.

In essence, it's a voluntary transaction between the two parties.

Yun Shizhu snapped out of his daze. This was Wang Yan, Old Wang's youngest son. In the past, Uncle Yun would come back from drinking at Old Wang's house and "go crazy" with a broom, chasing him and his brother all over the village for some reason.

Wang Yan always shouts a few words about "getting rid of the burden" when this happens.

Last time, I don't know if I suddenly had a brain fart or what, but I actually picked up a pebble and threw it at him. It wasn't a big deal, but it wasn't a small deal either.

This time, Wang Yan cornered him again. Yun Shizhu stared at him and replied, "What's it to you?"

Wang Yan is a year younger than him. If he really angers him, he might hit the child, but he doesn't want to do that.

Although children's innocent words can hurt, he's just a baby born from the womb, not a real child. If he takes it to heart, what kind of person would he be?

However, don't forget that he wasn't the only one being called a "burden." He can let it go, but he still has to pay back his brother's share!

The day he was called a burden and pelted with stones, he had already settled that score...

"Snot running down your nose, stay away from me."

That's right, that day, he made the other person take a cold shower.
