My Villain's System

Lin Xian stared at the building with a large plaque, which made him remember a certain place on earth in his previous life.

"This is quite a large gambling house area in this area, and this place is managed by someone I already know." Tang Ji said as he slowly walked into the gambling house.

Lin Xian immediately understood; the gambling den was where all important information ended. Valuable information is a resource too, and in a gambling establishment, all of that can become a cost to gamble.

When they entered, many pairs of eyes glanced at Lin Xian's group to size them up.

Lin Xian raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw the gambling house that didn't look like what he thought it would.

All over the house, there were stones placed under them, and some cultivators picked them out.

This is the home of the Gambling Stone; many things are stored within the stone, such as gold shards, important materials, and other tofu resources. The gambling stones rarely produce good things on this first floor when crushed. But on the top floors, the story would be completely different. Once, a cultivator even found the bone of something very mysterious and ended up selling it for 10 Million Gold Coins to a Royal family member." Tang Ji explained.

"Tens of millions of Gold Coins?" Lin Xian's eyes widened because there were many points to exchange.

"System, why are Gold Coins priced so high by the system? Is there something special about Gold Coins?" Lin Xian asked in his mind.

[DING!]

[The gold coin in this world is unique; it contains a mysterious amount of energy embedded in a gold mineral. In this world, those precious metals are created through a certain amount of Qi that the system can't explain]

[And the Gold Coins are more valuable than the Spirit Stones that the Host finds in the Wuxianle dimension even though the exchange rate is more expensive for Top-Grade Spirit Stones]

[The reason why that is, is because the gold minerals in this world have not yet been refined into something that can be used as cultivation materials]

The system's response surprised Lin Xian. He did not expect the widely circulated Gold Coins to become such a thing.

"Suppose 1 Gold Coin has been refined into a cultivation material; how much would it cost?" Lin Xian asked in his mind.

[DING!]

[Begin to analyze the vital value of the energy contained in gold coins]

[56% - 79% - 100%]

[The system will reward one refined Gold Coin with a value of 2 points, one point higher than Top Grade Spirit Stones]

Lin Xian cursed the system for never telling him that. He understood very well Why he bought Gold Coins using the previous system at one point for one gold coin. In comparison, he sells ten Gold Coins for one point.

The system had said that items' buying and selling value would be smaller than if they were important items. And an uncultivated gold coin was only on par with Mid Grade Spirit Stone Quality.

"System, do you have a way of cultivating that gold into cultivation materials?" Lin Xian asked again in his mind.

[DING!]

[There is no way to cultivate gold for mortal crafting skills nor for mortal alchemists to refine gold in this world to become cultivation materials]

"Is that skill at the Immortal level?" Lin Xian asked again.

[Host question cannot be answered]

The system's reply immediately made Lin Xian understand that such a skill existed at the Immortal level. If not, the system will immediately answer no if there isn't one.

Now that Lin Xian increasingly understood the system, it was as if he was bound by something even though he was the current Host.

Only when he reached the condition of knowing it would the system directly answer his question.

"Why are you daydreaming?" Tang Ji asked in surprise, looking at Lin Xian.

"There isn't anything." Lin Xian immediately replied after being snapped out of his reverie by Tang Ji's voice.

"Come on; we're going to the top floor to find that person." Tang Ji directly led Lin Xian, Tang Kong, and Tang Kuan as the three nodded.

And this time, Lin Xian also understood that he had to collect many gold coins to uncover something about it once it reached a certain level.

On the other hand, Lin Xian was still thinking about how to collect a large number of gold coins. He now understood that the real resource in the world he came from was gold which contained a special energy or Qi that made it extremely precious.

Thinking back, he was still confused about why the Wuxianle dimension had Spirit Stones while the main world didn't exist. It turns out that cultivators have been mining this precious resource all along and making it legal tender.

While walking towards the stairs, Lin Xian thought of something that excited him. When the four of them ascended to the 2nd floor, which had fewer stones than the lower floors, Lin Xian immediately did what he wanted to try.

"System, check all the contents of the stone!" Lin Xian ordered inside his mind. If what he thought could have happened, he would have become filthy rich in the blink of an eye without needing to search for gold coins with difficulty.

[Smart Analysis!]

[Rubbish...]

[Rubbish...]

[Rubbish... ]

[Rubbish... ]

[Precious Material... ]

[Rubbish... ]

[Rubbish... ]

Notifications continuously entered Lin Xian's head which irritated him a little as he forgot that there were so many rocks in the place. He couldn't check all of them, and the system didn't say which side of the rock contained trash or important objects.

"Tch! I'll have to check with the system one by one later." Lin Xian thought. But he was very excited because his prediction was correct that the system could indeed check the contents of the stone. This was a skill or, rather, a cheat ability.

Tang Ji saw the change in Lin Xian's expression, "What's wrong? Are you interested in these stones?" he asked, surprised.

"A little," Lin Xian replied with a small smile.

"It's better if you don't try since most are filled with trash. After all, we can't check them with our Qi since the rocks are dense, strange Qi, and can't be penetrated at all." Tang Ji advises Lin Xian not to try as it will only waste gold coins.

"We'll see when I try it!" Lin Xian replied with a mysterious smile.

Tang Ji only glanced at Lin Xian and wondered whether that kid had the wisdom. Many cultivators have gone bankrupt due to rock gambling. But he didn't say anymore because it wasn't his right to ban someone even though he didn't know that Lin Xian had underhanded ways to find out the contents of the stone.
