The end of the world: The ancestral sword becomes a system

In the suburbs of Changqing City, early in the morning, Ning Yuchen was digging a hole in the earth, thinking about his future path.

Ning Yuchen, 20 years old, is an orphan and a college student. He doesn't have very good interpersonal relationships, but he is still a real handsome guy.

He was originally the heir of a martial arts school, but in modern times, martial arts have lost their meaning in the face of hot weapons, and no one is interested in the martial arts school anymore.

Fortunately, his mother was a civil servant and his father's martial arts school had several apprentices, so his life was relatively happy.

But when he was 10 years old, the family was in a car accident while out for a walk. Both his parents died in the accident, and only Ning Yuchen survived.

Since then, he became an orphan and was adopted by an old man. Because of his personality, he had few friends since he was a child.

Fortunately, the old man took good care of him, and with the compensation from the car accident, he successfully went to college.

For the sake of his father's obsession, Ning Yuchen has kept the martial arts school.

But the old man passed away a few days ago. Before leaving, he told Ning Yuchen not to manage the martial arts school anymore and to live a good life on his own.

Ning Yuchen finally sold the martial arts school, and when packing up his belongings he left behind his ancestral sword.

This is a black sword with two words vaguely written on it. The whole sword gives people a feeling of vicissitudes.

He wanted to bury the sword and say goodbye to the past.

When he took the sword to the pit, his foot slipped and he fell down with the sword in his hand.

When he got up, Ning Yuchen found that his hand was cut.

"Damn it! I got hurt while burying a sword."

But the moment the blood from his hand flowed onto the sword, the whole sword emitted a dazzling light and then disappeared.

"My sword has become a spirit!"

Ning Yuchen was frightened by the scene before him, and then a voice rang in his mind:

[The Doomsday Sword System has been activated]

[The Doomsday Sword System is always at your service]

He often saw systems in novels and knew what they were, but he never expected to encounter one himself.

In novels, people with systems can often soar to great heights.

He pinched himself and felt the pain, confirming that this was true.

Then he said silently in his mind: "Are you there? System."

[Yes, Master, what's the problem? ]

He asked the question he wanted to know most: "How did you awaken?"

[The blood of the master, and the timing of the end of the world. ]

Ning Yuchen thought of the blood on his hands, but he didn't know when the end of the world would come.

He did know about the end of the world.

So he asked again: "What do you mean by end of the world? Please explain clearly, what do you do?"

[This world is about to enter the end of the world. At the beginning of the end of the world, all life will be in a coma. After waking up, the world will be digitized, and those who do not wake up will become zombies. Many monsters will also come through the cracks in the world. ]

[The function of this system is to help the owner become stronger and survive in the end times. ]

He knew his chance had come, and then asked, "So how do you make me stronger?"

[This system becomes stronger by guiding the master. 】

"Anything else? No actual rewards? Like artifacts or special abilities or something?"

[No, but I can tell you how to adapt to the end times and get ahead of others in the end times]

After hearing this, Ning Yuchen was completely speechless. He was happy for nothing.

This system is not real, it's just empty talk.

But after thinking about it, there is no harm in having a system. At least I can know the end of the world before others.

Ning Yuchen thought to himself: "How long will it take until the end of the world?"

[There is nearly 1 day left until the end of the world]

"You didn't tell me earlier."

Ning Yuchen rushed to the city quickly...

After arriving home, Ning Yuchen took out all his savings, 52 yuan.

This was the savings his parents left him. He and the old man didn't spend much over the years, and the old man never even touched the money.

Looking at the money, Ning Yuchen thought about a lot of things. At this time, the system prompted him:

[Master, you need to buy a lot of food and a gun]

"I know."

He knew his father's friends and could get guns from them.

Ning Yuchen left the apartment and took a taxi to the city center. Every minute and every second was important and no time could be wasted.

The city center was full of people, and he walked towards a secluded alley.

Gradually, there were fewer and fewer people in the alley, and finally only the man with a fierce look in his eyes was left.

My father's friend was in the arms business and was a shady business, so he found a place here to hide himself.

Ning Yuchen walked to a gray wooden door and knocked on it, then asked in a low voice, "Boss, are you doing business?"

After a while, a voice came from the door:

"What are you going to buy? These are just children's toys."

"Toys are enough, nothing else is necessary."

"come in!"

After the secret code was given, the wooden door slowly opened and Ning Yuchen pushed the door open and walked in.

Inside was a shabby little cabin with things in disarray.

A voice came from the darkness: "What do you want?"

He followed the sound and saw an old man, who then said:

"Long time no see, Uncle Wang, I'm Ning Yuchen, Xiaochen."

The old man stared at him and said:

"Oh, Xiaochen, there are no new weapons for you to play with this time."

"No, Uncle Wang, I'm here to buy weapons this time."

When he said this, Uncle Wang's whole mood changed and he asked, "What weapons do you want?"

Ning Yuchen said in a deep voice: "I need a gun, and the budget is 50."

"What do you want a gun for?"

Uncle Wang looked at him in shock, shocked by his request.

He didn't say much, just asked:

"Uncle Wang, are you still asking the buyer the reason?"

Uncle Wang wiped the cold sweat from his head and said:

"Sorry, I made a mistake."

After saying that, Uncle Wang took out a pistol and three magazines.

He pushed these before him and said:

"You can't buy any gun with 50 yuan. I'm giving this to you for your father's sake."

He picked up the gun and looked at it, and asked the system at the same time: "Is there any problem with this?"

[No problem, m1911, quiet, small recoil, short range, suitable for use in the early days of the apocalypse. ]

After confirming that there was no problem, he said to Uncle Wang: "Thank you, Uncle Wang, the password is six nines."

Then he gave the bank card with 50 yuan in it to Uncle Wang and prepared to leave.

When he walked to the door, a middle-aged man bumped into him. The middle-aged man glared at him and cursed: "You don't have eyes."

Ning Yuchen looked at him when he heard this. When he saw Ning Yuchen's eyes, he was scared.

What a pair of eyes they were, cold and mechanical, as if looking at a dead person.

Ning Yuchen left without saying a word.

Uncle Wang said to the middle-aged man:

"You're asking for your life, talking to him in that tone."

The middle-aged man recovered after a while and asked Uncle Wang:

"Uncle Wang, who is he? I have never seen a human being look like that."

Uncle Wang lit a cigarette and said slowly:

“I first met him when he was seven years old, when he and his father came to me to buy a knife.

He displayed unprecedented talent and skillfully used all weapons.

The next time I saw him was at his parents' funeral. He had no expression on his face.

When I asked him if he was sad, he said:

I was very sad, but what's the point of being sad? Mom and Dad will never come back, and I can never go back to my previous life. Being sad has no use. I should look forward and think about how to live better than before.

I thought he was just trying to hold back his sadness, but I didn't expect that he would be living an even better life after being adopted.

At critical moments, he can completely abandon his emotions to ensure rationality and take the most reasonable path.

I knew then that it was definitely not a normal human being, but just a machine in human skin.

But we kept in touch, and sometimes I would ask him to try out new weapons for me so I could learn about their performance and he could practice.

That’s all that’s happened between us.”
