Liu Yi walked down the streets of Qingshan Town with Little Yellow.
The porters carrying shoulder poles moved with swift steps, darting through the streets and alleys; the butchers' cleavers gleamed with a cold light, their meat-cutting movements nimble and quick.
These people were all System Hosts. After they Cultivated the Body Forging Foundation Establishment Method and the Old Farmers Art, their movements had become exceptionally agile.
At that moment, a famous wealthy merchant in town, Lin Yuan, stood on a high platform and shouted loudly:
"Fellow townsfolk, I am buying energy points! One energy point for one copper coin. I'll take as many as you have!"
As soon as he finished speaking, someone in the crowd shouted, "Master Lin, are you telling the truth? Don't trick us!"
"Are energy points really worth money? They can actually be traded for copper coins?"
Lin Yuan immediately guaranteed, "On-the-spot exchange! One energy point, one copper coin!"
Hearing this, someone immediately said, "That's great! I'm in desperate need of money, and I just happen to have 100 energy points to exchange."
Saying that, the person stepped forward, scanned Lin Yuan's QR code, transferred 100 energy points, and immediately received the money from Lin Yuan's hand.
Seeing that they could actually get money, the crowd of onlookers suddenly erupted.
"Heavens, energy points really can be exchanged for copper coins!"
"I have 20 energy points. If I exchange them for money, I can have a full meal!"
"This System is just too useful. Doesn't this mean we can keep exchanging for money from now on?"
"Go, go, go! Hurry and exchange them!"
A large swarm of people, even beggars following along, all surged toward Lin Yuan.
Liu Yi gazed at the chaotic yet lively scene before him, momentarily lost in thought.
Over the past month, the System's promotion had been in full swing. The number of bound users had soared to over 3 million, and thousands or even tens of thousands of people were binding to the System every moment.
If it weren't for the fact that every additional person binding to the System gave him another source of energy, he wouldn't have been able to sustain such a frantic pace of promotion.
Even now, he was barely breaking even; he only dared to use a small amount of energy points for deducing Cultivation Techniques and closed-door Cultivation.
He could only wait for energy points to accumulate more abundantly before using them on a large scale.
Now, many people were so starved for energy that they wished they could install the System on chickens, ducks, geese, and dogs just to earn energy points.
For example, the wealthy merchant Lin Yuan was even using money to buy energy points.
This tactic was indeed immediate. In just that short while, he had likely collected tens of thousands of energy points.
However, once everyone realized the importance of energy points, Lin Yuan would have to pay a much higher price if he wanted to acquire them.
But this was also quite good; it achieved a redistribution of wealth through another channel.
Ordinary commoners and even beggars had a new source of income, which truly changed the lives of many.
As Liu Yi watched the beggars exchange energy points for copper coins, he thought to himself: 'From now on, I'm afraid there will be no more beggars starving to death on the streets. Just by selling energy points, they can survive.'
Though it was just a small step in changing the world, many small steps would surely bring about earth-shattering changes.
Perhaps it couldn't ensure everyone had meat to eat at every meal yet, but at least it could guarantee that no one would starve.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: What if he deduced and organized the livestock breeding and farming knowledge he knew from his previous life and put it in the mall for free?
Then, by releasing related research tasks, he believed that with the efforts of the world's many Geniuses...
Combined with the extraordinary powers of this world, they might be able to research even more powerful results!
He could also provide guidance in various Domains such as transportation vehicles, grain, cement, and electricity, while simultaneously issuing System tasks.
Driven by profit, he could attract Geniuses from all walks of life to devote themselves to research and development.
After all, under the temptation of profit, there would always be people willing to participate.
And for him, all of this would merely consume some energy points.
As long as a problem could be solved with energy points, it wasn't a problem for him.
Thinking of this, Liu Yi opened the System and entered the Forum to check the latest news.
What caught his eye, impressively ranked first in popularity, was #Youth Obtains System, Successful Revenge#.
He clicked on the video. In the footage, a youth charged single-handedly into the Black Tiger Gang of Changling County. No one could match him wherever he went, and in a short while, he had completely wiped out the Black Tiger Gang.
Checking the text description below, he learned that this youth was named Su Muhan, hailing from an ordinary family in Changling County seat.
The Black Tiger Gang had caused his family's ruin and death, leaving him as the sole survivor.
Later, he unexpectedly obtained the System and relied on the System to Cultivate martial arts, his strength soaring rapidly.
Now, with his powerful strength, he had exterminated the entire Black Tiger Gang, finally avenging his deep-seated hatred.
In the comments section, people were also leaving messages one after another.
"Well killed! The Black Tiger Gang did all sorts of evil in the county seat. Who knows how many families they ruined? Su Muhan is acting on behalf of Heaven!"
"Exactly! The Black Tiger Gang committed many crimes. Being wiped out today is truly heart-warming. Heaven has eyes!"
"With the fairness system, everyone can learn skills, and bad people can't bind to the System. As long as we ordinary people learn our skills well, we can avenge our wrongs and settle our grievances!"
"That's right! Thanks to the fairness system. If not for it, I'd still be a farmer just idling my days away. Now I'm literate and learning martial arts, and doing farm work is faster and easier."
"I used to be penniless, and when my child got sick, I had no money for treatment. I was almost in despair. I didn't expect to get the System and exchange energy points for money to cure my child."
"Sigh, energy points are getting harder and harder to earn now. Everyone around has the System; there are too many monks and too little porridge!"
"Isn't that the truth! Everyone's eyes are red for energy points. Even those rich people have started throwing money around to buy them."
"It can't be helped. The Secret Manuals and knowledge in the mall all require energy points for exchange, and Cultivation can't do without them. I think energy points will become even more precious in the future."
"If I had money, I'd also be willing to spend it to buy energy points. That way I could use energy points to Cultivate faster. After all, who doesn't want to attain the Dao and live forever?"
"Your vision is still too narrow! The System is indeed mostly popularized in Changling County."
"But in other parts of Jiangling Prefecture, there are still plenty of people without the System! I already ran over there to promote it. Hahaha, I've already raked in 1 million energy points!"
"My god! You've got a sharp mind, brother! No, I have to hurry and keep up too. I'll lose out big if I miss this wave!"
...Liu Yi couldn't help but be startled when he saw these comments.
No wonder the number of System Hosts had exploded in just over a month, and the growth rate was getting faster and faster.
According to this trend, the entire Jiangling Prefecture and even further places would likely soon be swept up by this System wave.
Closing the System, he looked at the Qingshan Town before him.
In just over a month, earth-shattering changes had occurred here.
A satisfied smile couldn't help but appear on his face. In the future, under his guidance, the changes to the world would only be more staggering.
However, he also knew that those with vested interests would likely not sit idly by.
After all, the existence of the System had already affected their rule.
Especially those who committed many evils and could not obtain the System's approval would definitely try every means to obstruct the System's spread.
But the System was not under their control, and it spread incredibly fast; they were simply powerless to stop its dissemination.
Under the irresistible trend, the obstruction of these people was like a mantis trying to stop a carriage—destined to be in vain.
