Chapter 272 – Florida Man, Who Previously Claimed Immortality from 33 Days of Sunbathing, Now Diagnosed with Skin Cancer.

The massive amount of lifespan reminded Leo of the grindy days on Earth. He shed a tear of joy and elation.

"Finally, my lifespan reaches the cap. Well, since it has come to this, I might as well splurge some."

Leo tried to open his gacha screen.

DING

<You cannot access the page due to the restrictions of the Shop Domain System.>

"…"

Unfortunately, the gacha system was tied to the shop domain system. Because of the restriction, he couldn't access it outside of his domain.

Without a choice, Leo checked something else. He recalled that the excess lifespan was stored as online shopping credits. Thus, he opened the online shopping system to see what he could buy from it.

"The system mentions the soul upgrade thingy. I think I saw it when I was on Earth, but I didn't buy any for a reason. What was its name again?"

Leo input a search keyword 'Soul Upgrade' into the search box and proceeded. The online shopping system projected a loading screen for a moment before it displayed a new page.

The number of items was filtered from zillions of icons to seven. Leo read the list one by one.

.

Aside from the Soul Matrix's package, the rest of the items were greyed out and were marked as [PURCHASED].

Leo tilted his head in confusion as he didn't remember buying any of these. A minute later after reading the description again, Leo remembered why he didn't pay attention to these upgrades.

"Right. At that time, I was grinding for the transmigration fee. Man, if I knew I could cultivate, I wouldn't have spent two billion years on something nonsense. It was a scam!"

Leo regretted spending two billion years to transmigrate to a cultivation world. He wished he learned some cultivation techniques by buying something from the system shop instead of wasting his precious YOL for something he could have easily achieved.

As refunding was impossible, Leo accepted the reality and looked at the price of the last item.

Karmic Fate Crystal…

That was Leo's bottleneck. He only had entity fate crystals, but he never came across the elusive karmic fate crystals. He wondered where he could get it from.

Since Leo could not buy it now, he could only admire the system screen and the PNG icon. He deeply sighed and lamented his fate for being poor.

"Fine. I can't expand my lifespan cap right now, but I still have credits. Oh, wait. Is there anything I can gift my people or Esen in here?"

Leo thought about gifting this perk to Esen as a wedding gift. He checked the other upgrades that the store listed as PURCHASED.

Testing the system, Leo added one of the items to a cart and proceeded to the checkout screen.

Unfortunately, there was no [PURCHASE AS GIFT] button. Leo deeply sighed in resignation.

"You stinky system. Can't I buy something for someone else? You could have made more money. What a lousy business model. You should learn it from STEAM or AMAZON!"

DING

<Tips: You can purchase the GIFT SYSTEM from the Online Shopping System.>

"…"

Leo was taken aback by the sudden response. In silence, Leo searched the keywords and found the perk.

.

Gift System

Price – 1 Year of Lifespan

This system allows you to gift or bestow a friend your lifespan, system abilities, system skills, system attributes, or anything related to the system. You can also purchase a system perk and gift it to your friend.

Perk Description

Enable [Purchase as Gift] in the Online Shopping System

Enable [Bestow System]

.

This system was almost free. In Leo's eyes, it cost nothing!

"Dammit! You should have told me earlier that you have this! I wouldn't have wasted so much time and energy if I had this perk!"

DING

<Tips: The system will not provide aid or show favoritism toward any player. System Tips only appear when you truly need a piece of advice or assistance.>

"Yeah, screw you, system."

<Tips: The system detects that you are most compatible with one of the most popular systems, the PP stretching system. Rumors said an entity invented this system to have anal intercourse with himself.>

"HEY!!"

Leo screamed in anger and punched the system screens. However, his punches only hit empty voids.

DING

<Tips: Only autistic players punch system screens. Please be advised that system screens are holograms. Be a human, not an autistic monkey.>

"DAMMIT! YOU SON OF A %##@!!"

Leo lost it for 10 minutes.

.

After regaining his composure, Leo purchased the gift system. Checking the new toy, a new system screen appeared.

The screen displayed three tabs – Lifespan Bestowal, System Skill Bestowal, and System Perk Bestowal.

The perks were simple. Leo could give away a skill or dao that he didn't need to one of his subordinates or friends. However, Leo would lose that ability afterward.

From his point of view, gifting a skill to a subordinate was excessive. He could always exploit the library facility to create skill books and gift them instead. Only the system bestowal and lifespan bestowal were useful.

In the past, Leo could trade lifespan by using the shop domain system as a medium. But with the lifespan bestowal ability, he could use it outside of the domain.

Also, the system perk bestowal might be in handy. Testing the system's perk, Leo tried to purchase the 'Soul Enlightenment Pro' package so that he could gift it to Esen as a wedding gift.

A [Purchase as Gift] button appeared in the shopping cart menu as Leo had predicted. He grinned and pressed on it.

A list of his friends and subordinates appeared next. Leo scrolled down and found Esen's name. He ticked her name and pressed [Proceed].

DING

<Please be warned. One of your entity fate crystals will be consumed!>

<Please be warned. Losing one of your entity fate crystals might deactivate some of your system abilities!>

<Will you purchase [Soul Enlightenment Pro] as a gift to Esen Sydin IV?>

It sounded painful to lose one of the few entity fate crystals. Still, Leo wasn't worried.

He gazed toward the distance where he had killed Eleanor earlier. Although it was faint, he sensed several glowing crystals floating freely in the void.

'I should get those first and use them to exchange. I can't afford to lose my power.'

After thinking it through, Leo reinforced the time domain ability, focusing on the suspended beams of death rays. Leo also circulated his Qi and rubbed the alien ring to warm it up.

His blood boiled while his muscles expanded. When the preparation was ready, Leo instantaneously blinked, teleporting a light years' worth of distance. He pressed the alien ring on the massive crystal one after another and hurried back.

WHOOSH

It took Leo 0.25 seconds to complete the sequences. He returned before the time domain was dispersed.

"HMM!"

Leo reinforced the time domain again. This time, the ray of death beams didn't move an inch.

The mission was a success.

DING

<You have acquired 2 entity fate crystals!>

<You have acquired 3 heavenly fate crystals!>

<You have acquired 15 sky fate crystals!>

<You have acquired 54 earth fate crystals!>

Eleanor was rich. She had been collecting so many crystals that Leo was envious of her.

"Your mother is rich, girl. Well… WAS rich. They're mine now! HEHEHEHEHE!"
