Origin System - Chapter 20 Can I Leave Then?
Jiang Chen was in the spotlight of everyone’s vision. He managed to get up to the very top of the tower in just a matter of minutes. Most geniuses would have to take at least 30 – 40 minutes before reaching the top. It wouldn’t even be an exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen was the most talented person in 1,000 years even if he used a loophole in the system.
“Wait! That person is cheating!”
A fat man came “gliding” across the floor in a hurry. His feet are barely visible from his horrendous blobs of fat.
“And for what reason would you say that?”
The man that was praising Jiang Chen from the start looked at the man and asked.
“First of all, this tower is supposed to test your power and endurance with Qi. Not only did he not use the stairs to climb up, he also built an unknown structure inside of the sacred tower. I think that wasn’t what the ancient cultivators were thinking when they built these trials for us.”
The man just snorted and started laughing.
“What the ancient cultivators actually said is ‘We shall hone the future’s skills using the past’s experiences.’ That never said about strength or intelligence.”
The fat man started to look shocked and even started to spew out spit everywhere.
“But! That man still cheated!”
“That still means that he is eligible for first place’s title and prize.”
The fat man was finally put down after that and left in the same absurd manner.
“Well, what are you guys look at? Continue!”
The people that were on the tower were looking at the scene even though the constant pressure on them. After they heard the man shout, they immediately started to run up. Jiang Chen, on the other hand, started to yawn which annoyed a bunch of people watching.
“May I leave now?”
A sudden question made most people fall down. Who in their right mind would not want to stand in the limelight? The reason that Jiang Chen said that was this…
[Achievement Complete – Win The Heaven’s Ascent Competition]
There was no point after that to stay there. The more attention he got, the more chances he may be killed by the people who hold actual power. Jiang Chen knew that this world wasn’t like modern Earth where everything was under the law and order.
“Jiang Chen! As your sect master, I command you to stay there!”
Many sect masters would feel joy whenever their disciples reached the top. However, all she felt was the embarrassment from this disciple that she personally invited to this event. Someone who immediately wanted to get down after they reached the top was unheard of. Jiang Chen knew he had no other choice but to stay since his sect master told him to. Otherwise, he may be killed when he gets back to the sect and partially didn’t want to have to get a scolding from her.
“Alright.”
Jiang Chen sat down and looked like he was cultivating. Inside his head was a different story, Jiang Chen was plotting a way for him to show off.

Reward – Acupuncture Skill Book]
Jiang Chen was flabbergasted by the mission. Was the system telling him to anger the entire world of cultivation?! Either way, Jiang Chen knew he had no choice since he really wanted the reward of this mission.
“System, can I buy a frying pan, oil, and some uncooked smelly tofu?”
[Total Cost – 130 Credit]
“Purchase.”
The items appeared before Jiang Chen as he smiled. People who looked at him from below all appeared confused.
“As the mighty acting tough king, Xu Que, once said,’Eating something too delicious would distract the other cultivators and make it hard for them to concentrate. I am not an inconsiderate person, so please relax. I shall eat something else.'(1)”
Jiang Chen favorite past time was to read web novels. What better way to get out of real life than to read about other people and their adventures. As Jiang Chen said that, he lit a fire under the frying pan and start to cook the smelly tofu. A pungent smell empowered the people under him. People started to throw up and barf all over themselves.
“This is inhuman!”
“This is cheating!”
“Everyone, let’s beat him up so he doesn’t concoct this evil smell anymore!”
Jiang Chen sat there looking at everyone and thought to himself.
“Now, time for the acting tough moment!”
People were pointing at Jiang Chen as they were dumbfounded at the sight.
“What is he eating!”
“Is that sh*t I see?!”
“He must have gone crazy!”
Jiang Chen threw some of the smelly tofu down at the mass that was still trying to get up the tower.
“Now he is throwing sh*t at us!”
Jiang Chen laughed at the comment.
“For the people who want to get up to the top, just eat the tofu. It will give you a boost like no other elixir!”
The people were skeptical at first but the naive people who have the tofu in their hand began eating the “sh*t”. Only about 10 people got the tofu which only accounted for .001 of the people participating. Soon after one person who ate the tofu streamed past the people in front did everyone see the power of the “sh*t”. People started to fight for the tofu as some even died.
