42 Talentless Host
[Ding!]
[Lucky Daily Spin has stopped!]
With this voice, the wheel stopped spinning as the cursor marked one of the question marks, after the red light shone the answer was revealed to see.
[Congratulations! The host has obtained a Master Quote!]
[Would you like to read it?]
[Yes] - [No]
The patient Rong Yuan was surprised after seeing the reward he received, as it piqued his interest, he pressed the [Yes] button.
[ Master Quote:
"Eyes of the Master will do more work than both his hands!"
Effects:
1) For the host: Comprehension Speed x 5, 1 day;
1) For the disciple: Comprehension Talent + 1;
(A/N: B. Franklin's famous quote. I liked this one so decided to use it.)
]
"Hmmm... The eyes of the Master will do more work than both his hands... Interesting... I will use its effects when I start to learn about Soul Cultivation. This is a new concept to me after all."
"But what is Master Quote, system?"
[You are lucky to win a Master Quote, host! And on your first day! It seems all the waiting was worth it.]
"So, can you tell me about what that is?"
[Yes, of course!]
[Master Quote is a saying of intelligent people who are famous in the world. It has meanings that are spoken in a philosophic way.]
[In our case, as this was a reward from the system, it comes with useful effects like you just have seen!]
"Oooh! That is amazing! But who said this Master Quote? Why I have never heard of it?"
[...]
"System? Are you there?"
[Ding!]
[Unathorized information!]
"..."
Rong Yuan's lips twitched as he was left speechless by the system.
"Hey, you know that I know it was you, right system? Are you taking me as a fool? There would have appeared a new warning with red letters if was [Unathorized information!], while yours is only a voice. Don't say it if you don't want to!"
[...Sorry, host...]
[But I really can't tell you about it! Believe me!]
"Really?"
[Really!]
"...Ok... I believe in you."
"But how much time I am gonna be in the dark without knowing anything."
[You have to take in more disciples and upgrade the system, host!]
"Trying to change the topic, huh?"
"But, I will do as you say! But for now, let's continue!"
"Hmmm... [New!] one... Let's see my personal info."
As Rong Yuan saw another new feature he decided to check it out first, so he pressed the [Personal Info (New!)] feature.

"All of this information about me?"
[Yes!]
"Well, let's see... My mental age is unknown... This is strange... Well, the system probably doesn't know about it so I won't ask..."
"My wind affinity is at the Superior Grade? Oh, yeah! I upgraded it to the supreme grade in my past life! I was confused for a moment... "
"Sigh!"
"This is my second life, I shouldn't confuse them..."
"Let's see what talents I have got... Hmmm... My Comprehension Talent is 21, my Cultivation Talent is 45 which is the highest! My Swordsmanship Talent is 25 while my new Soul Cultivation Talent is only 17 which is the least of all. And the last one, Master Talent is 35."
"How do I know about these talents? I know Cultivation, Swordsmanship, and Soul Cultivation a bit. However, I have never heard of the other two. Master and Comprehension Talent?"
"And how about these numbers? What do they represent?"
[Host, it is easy. I will just send the information directly to your mind using the connection from the system's storage!]
"Wait! Wait for a bit?"
"Will it be painful as before?"
"I can endure the pain but knowing beforehand is good, you know!"
[...]
[{Is he scared? Wow! The last time, it must have been really painful. Let's not tease him anymore!}] The system thought while Yuan was unaware of he was taken as scared.
[No, host. It won't be like before. The last time the connection was established but now we are just transferring information. But there is a possibility of a slight headache.]
The system informed Rong Yuan about the danger.
"Ok, you can send the information!"
[Ok, it's starting...]
Rong Yuan was ready to feel terrible pain one more time.
But after a few moments, his mind was accepting new information and broadening his horizon.
After one minute the transfer ended.
"Huf, Huf, you were right system. I just felt a little uncomfortable while receiving information."
"You also send the information about every new thing, right?"
[Yes, I thought it was convenient sending all the information at once.]
"Ha, you did right..."
"So, numbers represent how high one's talent is and the average talent is 10, the talents under 15 won't show up in the Talents. And the highest score is 100 in this world."
"Here I thought, my Cultivation Talent which was 45 was high. But it seems it was just near half of the maximum score. What a thing!"
"It seems I am not talented as I thought!"
Rong Yuan was left speechless after he received the information.
He always thought he was talented which was right in a sense.
He was the youngest elder of the Empire, and he reached the Spirit Master Stage at 18. Nobody wasn't able to do this after the Spirit World War.
[Host, no need to feel discouraged, You're a talented person. It is just you have come back in time which is why your Talent Scores are low. Listen, they grow as the person grows, so you have a lot of time. You have also me, so cheer up!]
The system tried to cheer up its pitiful and talentless host in its own reasonable ways.
