Chapter 8: System blocked, Infinity Duplicate: version 2
Lein's heart was still trembling, just a few thoughts from the old man in front of him could crush him.
"Forgive, forgive," the old man waved his hand, his smile returning.
"Aha ha ha ha..." Lein laughed awkwardly, his voice cracking.
"Alright, go ahead..." The old man instructed Lein to test his strength on the test stone.
The stone was metallic black and did not reflect light. Lein placed his hand casually, hoping that nothing bad would happen.
The numbers on the stone began to move...
15.. 23... 60... 140...
The old man continued to watch, his eyebrows slightly raised.
200... 270... 600...
This time the old man could not stand still. He approached the line and, without blinking, scrutinised the numbers on the test stone.
1200... 1500
The stone emitted a bright golden light.
The old man's eyeballs bulged, as if he had just seen something that should not be seen.
"No way... Immortal Talent?" The old man's tone shook.
It didn't take 1 second after the golden light flashed. A middle-aged man appeared.
The middle-aged man had an extremely terrifying aura, a hundred... no, a thousand times that of the previous white old man.
"Grandmaster Dou Du, is this from the new planet?" the middle-aged man asked the old man.
"Yes, sir, it has been less than a day since it appeared," the old man replied respectfully and humbly.
"All right, leave it to me... You go back first," the middle-aged man waved his hand to let the old man return.
"Yes, sir, I'll go," the old man immediately disappeared.
Now it was just Lein and a middle-aged man.
Lein studied the middle-aged man in front of him. A crown of 9 stars sat firmly on his head, a golden robe unrolled neatly behind his back.
The man's eyes were so calm, Lein even felt that the man could know every detail of his body and everything he was thinking.
"Scary," Lein said to himself.
"Son, what's your name, where are you from?" The man was very friendly, his voice was even pleasant to hear.
"My name is Lein Sir, I am from Earth," Lein answered obediently, without hiding anything.
"Ahhh I remember. You are a race that has a system, is that so?" The man asked for confirmation.
At that moment, Lein felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning. He had not expected the man in front of him to be aware of the existence of the system.
Lein's mind immediately turned to checking the system.
He could not open the system.
"Whataaaaaa!!!!?????!" Lein exclaimed inwardly.
(Infinity Duplicate: Version 2)
*Update patch:
- Improved system security
- Increase multiplication to 10,000
"Crazy....!!!!!" Lein shouted louder in his heart. He felt that the talent (Infinity Duplicate) was not from an ordinary system, but from another higher system.
But whatever it was, Lein was happy with system, his strength would increase even more.
"Kid, you haven't answered my question yet," the middle-aged man continued to casually observe Lein.
"Ahh yes sir, right system," Lein replied to the man.
"Well, I'm sorry for temporarily blocking it." The man understood Lein's concern, so he explained.
"Some people with systems have talents that can trick the Touchstone."
"There have been cases of someone with S-level talent manipulating the numbers on the touchstones."
A middle-aged man explains like a guide.
"Would you like to test again?" The man pointed at the stone.
"Good sir" Lein was not afraid, for some reason he had great faith in the strange system.
Once again Lein put his hand down and the numbers on the stone changed.
100... 300... 400... 800... 1300... 1500...
This time the man's face changed... He couldn't hide his shocked expression.
"Is this the age of human awakening?" A very sharp light came from the man's eyes, his eyes seemed to radiate a very strong intention.
But the man's shock didn't last long, as he seemed to imagine some terrible events, then shook his head.
"Very good, very good," the man tested.
Then he took out 5 objects.
They are: Immortal Crystal, a bottle of White Potion, a golden sword, two golden talisman papers.
"Accept them, I hope you don't have any misfortune and can continue to grow".
"If fate allows, we will meet again"
The man did not wait for Lein to answer, he waved his hand and Lein disappeared from the white platform, leaving only the middle-aged man.
Soon a throne chair appeared and he sat down, his face returning to its original state. Then he tilted his head to the left and leaned on his left hand.
A wine glass appeared out of nowhere, he shook it and drank casually.
"Go on..." A word came out of the man's mouth...
A burst of golden power emanated from his body, the surrounding space curved into ripples of water, and soon a huge portal appeared, big enough to fit a throne.
As the throne entered the portal, there was only total darkness. But for the man, the scene inside the portal was as bright as daylight.
He smiled a little, then their chair moved slowly into the portal.

Lein regained consciousness.
He looked around at the familiar surroundings. Yes, he was back on his island.
"Brother..." Nita ran over and hugged Lein from a distance.
"Hmmm... What's wrong, bro? Why did you suddenly disappear?"
Nita released her hug and asked curiously.
Lein understood his sister's concern and explained the situation he found himself in.
From going to the huge altar, meeting old man Dou Du, testing the talent, earning 1500 points, meeting the crowned man, and returning.
Lein also talked about the upgrade to his Infinity Duplicate talent. For his part, Nita is the person he trusts the most in this and other worlds.
So there was no hesitation in telling her about the oddity of his system. Even the powerful man was unable to block the system after the upgrade.
"It's scary, thank goodness you're okay." Nita only heard the stories, but she felt how scary the place was.
"Alright, time to check the results of the trip to the scary place," said Lin with a big smile.
To be honest, he was very curious about the things the strong man took out. Something that came out of such a strong man, even if it was just the tip of his hair, would still be valuable to them.
