All Heavens: A Role-Playing System Starting from Tianlong

Zhang Cheng didn't let Zhong Ling giggle for long before shaking her awake. "Let's go, didn't you want to see what the treasure looks like?"

Without further delay, the three began to quickly explore the bottom of the cliff.

They searched along the lake shore and soon found the location of the "Little Boundless Jade Disc".

It was a stone wall about ten feet high, with a smooth, mirror-like surface, facing the "Great Boundless Jade Wall" that was hundreds of feet high on the opposite bank.

Zhong Ling ran to the small jade disc, reached out and touched the cool stone surface, marveling at it:

"So you mean... what's on this small jade disc will be projected onto that large jade disc on the other side?"

Her eyes darted around, and she suddenly smiled and said:

"If I draw a turtle on this, will there be a giant turtle thousands of feet tall looking at it from the other side?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng, who was searching for the entrance to the Langhuan Paradise centered on the small jade disc, twitched at the corner of his mouth:

"It's not that simple. An object on the small jade disc can not always be projected onto the large jade disc. The angle of the light must be just right, and the distance between the object and the small jade disc must also be appropriate for an image to appear."

Zhong Ling said "Oh," nodded as if she understood, but still couldn't help but take out her dagger and carve a crooked turtle on the small jade disc.

Just then, Mu Wanqing's voice came from not far away: "Zhang Lang, I've found it here."

Ever since Zhang Cheng agreed to the marriage, Mu Wanqing changed her way of addressing him, calling him "Zhang Lang." Although Zhang Cheng felt uncomfortable hearing it, he couldn't refuse her.

The two quickly followed the sound.

Mu Wanqing was standing in front of a cliff, with a huge rock covered in moss in front of her.

At this moment, the rock is tilting and creating a crack, revealing a dark cave entrance behind it.

As Zhang Cheng approached, a musty, stale smell wafted over him.

He casually pushed the rock aside, then took a few steps back and said, "Let's wait a bit, let the smell inside dissipate before we go in."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he saw Zhong Ling pull a tinderbox from her bosom, pretending to light it.

Zhang Cheng, quick as a flash, snatched the tinder away: "You little rascal, aren't you afraid of setting it on fire?"

"Huh? Will it explode?" Zhong Ling blinked. "But it looks so dark inside... How can we see anything without lighting a fire?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Cheng thought for a moment, then suddenly stretched out his hands in front of Zhong Ling.

"W-what are you doing?" Zhong Ling took a half step back warily, covering her chest with her hands.

Zhang Cheng ignored her, quickly crossing his hands in front of her. When he stopped, he was holding a translucent, glowing arrow about the length of a forearm in his palm.

The arrow hovered silently, its tip pointing directly at Zhang Cheng. A soft light emanated from it, illuminating an area of ​​three zhang in radius.

"Wow!" Zhong Ling's eyes widened in surprise. Mu Wanqing also glanced sideways, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"Here, take this and play with it for now." Zhang Cheng casually handed the glowing arrow to Zhong Ling.

Zhong Ling instinctively reached out and caught it. The arrowhead floated lightly into her palm, and the tip slowly turned, facing her directly.

Zhong Ling's eyes widened in astonishment: "Where did you get such a big thing from?"

She reached out her other hand to grab the arrow, but her palm passed right through it. There was no sensation; it was as if she had pierced through a ball of light.

"Huh?" Zhong Ling tried a few more times, but each time she passed through it. "I can't touch this thing!"

Like a kitten discovering a new toy, she kept reaching out to grab, grab, and pat it, but the glowing arrow remained suspended above her palm, unmoved no matter how much she struggled.

"Just pretend I did this with magic."

Looking at Zhong Ling, who was having a great time, Zhang Cheng casually said, "We can use it for lighting later."

From his perspective, above the glowing arrow, several lines of text floated:

Look at my location! (White)

Name: Look at my location!

Quality: White (ordinary)

Category: Items

Effect: Illuminates an area within a 10-meter radius of the holder.

Note: This arrow will always point to the holder.

This floating arrow was something Zhang Cheng obtained from the "role-playing system".

In addition to granting abilities as his profession advances, his system also provides rewards when certain "achievements" are accomplished.

For more than three years, he only unlocked two achievements after being promoted to [Elite Soldier]:

The first one is "Winning 100 battles" [百战百胜].

The second is "One Against a Thousand" which requires "killing a thousand enemies".

Even so, he only managed to reach the required number by secretly sneaking out whenever he had the chance to "spar" with the Western Xia people.

Each achievement awarded Zhang Cheng a chance to obtain a "random white item." Besides the glowing arrow in front of him that could be used to cosplay a light spell, the other item was even more bizarre—

【Immunity Token (White)】

Name: Immunity Card

Quality: White (ordinary)

Category: Equipment

Effect: The wearer will be perceived by others as someone who is easily protected by morality and public opinion, which may have the opposite effect on certain targets.

Note: I am a Black gay man with multiple personalities, the second personality being a loli, and gender dysphoria.

When Zhang Cheng first obtained these two items, he even tried to develop them.

However, the former has no physical form and cannot be summoned in battle to "block space"; its light is soft and cannot be used as a flashbang. In the end, it can only be used as a lantern when no one is around.

The latter approach of using moral blackmail in this wicked feudal society is clearly not reliable.

In the end, Zhang Cheng left these two props to gather dust in the system.

This time, with only Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling, one and a half of their own people, at the bottom of the cliff, Zhang Cheng simply took out the glowing arrow and used it as a lighting tool.

The three waited for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and when the strange smell in the stone gate dissipated slightly, they filed in.

Zhong Ling, holding the glowing arrow, took the lead, followed closely by Zhang Cheng and Mu Wanqing.

The entrance was small, only allowing one person to pass at a time. Inside was a natural tunnel sloping downwards, the stone walls damp and covered with moss.

The three walked several hundred steps along the tunnel, and suddenly the view opened up before them. A stone door appeared in front of them.

Zhang Cheng stepped forward, placed his hands against the stone door, and pushed hard. The stone door opened with a snap, revealing a circular stone chamber behind it.

A huge, clear crystal was embedded in the wall of the room.

Through the crystal, one can clearly see the outside scene: fish swimming among the water plants, ripples on the water, and sunlight shining through the lake, forming beams of light on the bottom of the lake.

It turns out that this stone chamber was built at the bottom of the lake. Through this huge crystal window, one can take in the entire view of the lake.

Mu Wanqing and Zhong Ling were both attracted by this strange sight. The two of them gathered in front of the crystal and watched the fish swimming outside with great interest.

"It is truly a rare sight in the world," Mu Wanqing said softly.

Zhong Ling was even more excited, pointing to a large silver fish outside: "Look, look! That fish is so fat! It would be delicious grilled!"

Zhang Cheng showed little interest in the "underwater scenery." After the two had admired it for a while, he walked over and said, "Let's go, let's take care of business first."
