Medusa in the Trash Heap - Chapter 2

Chapter 2: Waste-to-Treasure System, Heaven-Defying Gift Pack.

“You survived a great disaster—you should be thanking me!!”

Taking a deep breath, Chen Fan calmed down.

Once again sensing the entire junkyard and finding no more treasures, Chen Fan picked up Medusa and reconnected with the imprint.

The two of them instantly disappeared from the junkyard.

This place was not suitable for living beings to stay long.

Even for Chen Fan, he couldn’t remain for too long, or he would start to feel discomfort.

Therefore, as the master of the junkyard, he only entered when a new junkyard appeared to search for treasures.

Each fall of garbage would make a sound.

There was no fixed schedule; the quantity and types varied each time.

It wasn’t a daily occurrence either.

So most of the time, what one could find depended entirely on luck.

“Whew…”

Appearing in his room, Chen Fan placed Medusa on his bed and let out a heavy breath.

Not because Medusa was heavy, but because her fragrance was overwhelmingly intoxicating.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host! The Waste-to-Treasure System has officially awakened!”

A mysterious notification suddenly echoed in Chen Fan’s mind.

“System?”

“A golden finger?”

The corners of Chen Fan’s mouth curled into a grin.

As a transmigrator, he was very familiar with this kind of routine.

“Ding! Congratulations, Host! The system has been successfully bound and is now at your service…”

The notification sounded again.

“System, please tell me your functions.”

Chen Fan finally settled his excitement and asked.

The Waste-to-Treasure System had four main functions: Repair, Fusion, Upgrade, and Recycle.

Repair was mainly for fixing damaged mundane items, treasures, or even living beings, restoring them to their original state.

Fusion involved combining broken treasures—or even living beings—into new treasures.

Upgrade meant improving the rank or quality of undamaged treasures or beings.

However, whether it was Repair, Fusion, or Upgrade, they all required points.

As for how to obtain points, that was the last function: Recycle.

The Waste-to-Treasure System would recycle items deemed valuable and award Chen Fan points accordingly.

“What a heaven-defying system!!”

Chen Fan couldn’t help but mutter.

Recycle, Repair, Fusion, Upgrade—these four functions complemented each other to an insane degree.

Especially in this world, in this era.

As long as he had enough points, Chen Fan could repair all the junk falling from the heavens back to their original state.

He could even fuse them into new treasures or upgrade them.

“This… this is practically all the treasures of the heavens, for my use!!”

The more he imagined, the more Chen Fan’s heart surged with excitement.

As for points?

In this era, they probably wouldn’t be hard to come by.

In junk heaps, there would always be plenty of valuable items.

Even incomplete treasures had value.

[“Ding! As part of your novice gift pack, you receive one free use each of Repair, Fusion, and Upgrade.”]

[“Ding! It is recommended that the host use the Repair function on themselves…”]

[“Ding! It is recommended that the host temporarily save the Fusion opportunity.”]

[“Ding! Detected that the host’s cultivation technique is powerful—highly recommend upgrading the technique.”]

The system’s notifications came one after another.

“All right!”

Chen Fan didn’t hesitate and followed the system’s advice.

“Buzz…”

In the next moment, Chen Fan felt a warm current enveloping, soaking, and cleansing him—it was indescribably comfortable…

His hidden illnesses and injuries slowly faded away…

Chen Fan felt as though he was reconstructing his body…

After who knew how long, Chen Fan felt light and flawless all over, his skin glowing with a rosy radiance…

“At this moment, I feel like I’ve returned to the time I was just born…”

“My talent and aptitude are no different from someone naturally born with sixteen open acupoints.”

Chen Fan sighed endlessly.

At this moment, he felt his potential had reached an unprecedented level.

“Buzz…”

Next, countless pieces of information poured into his Sea of Consciousness…

A long time later, Chen Fan’s body trembled.

From shock and disbelief.

“The upgraded cultivation technique… is insane!!!”

“Heaven-defying!!”

Chen Fan only dared to rejoice inwardly, as if afraid to speak aloud for fear of being overheard.

The upgraded cultivation method didn’t seem much different on the surface.

But from now on, every time Chen Fan opened an acupoint, he could split off a strand of consciousness to reside in it.

Using the acupoint as a dantian, he could cultivate a different technique—or even a whole different cultivation system.

In other words, as long as he could divide his consciousness into sixteen strands, he could simultaneously practice sixteen different techniques.

And the benefits of all these techniques would all be applied to his main body.

“This is the absolute, true invincible method!”

Chen Fan had never imagined the system would be this outrageous.

“Mmm…”

Just then, a weak sound rang out.

Medusa opened her eyes, struggling to sit up, and found herself in an unfamiliar room.

In front of her was a stranger—a human.

She immediately became highly alert.

“No need to be nervous. If I had any ill intent, I would’ve done something while you were unconscious.”

Chen Fan spoke calmly.

He had already checked—Medusa was not only seriously injured, but her strength had also been drastically weakened.

If he had enough points, Chen Fan would be willing to repair her.

Because, according to the system’s rules, anything—whether treasure or living being—repaired by the system would belong to him.

So he wasn’t worried that Medusa, once healed, would betray him.
