"Mom, you overestimate your System too much," Han Li suddenly said, his hands gently placed around her waist.

Breaking out of her still-sleepy thoughts, she asked, "What do you mean?" 𝙛𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝓬𝓸𝓶

She had always seen the system as a God that can achieve all her wishes as long as she paid a price. He had just come to know of the system, so why was he saying this all of a sudden?

Han Li sighed. "It literally says Luck-Trade, and that is what it is...Luck Trade, it is in a sense a universal shop with all kinds of magical resources of the world there that we could trade for with our fortune that appears in assets."

Yue Li was even more confused: "...But that doesn't make any sense though?"

Han Li smiled slightly, and asked, "Why?"

"I wished for a Home and everyone in the outer circle got one built for us, it is not a magical resource as you say, it is just a normal house."

"House Building Seed, a unique seed – a magical resource – that grows inside an artificial fruit, you requested for the house and the seed fell into the starlight clan's mud. Houses were about to grow in abundance, so the higher-ups decided to give everyone houses."

"Ah, no wonder all parts of the House are in wood and we had to add the other stuff in!" Yue Li muttered in disbelief.

"Yeah, it is an artificial product built by a cultivator of ancient times, it helps make good-looking wooden houses in huge numbers within just days, and you just have to add a thatched roof above, which the clan – generously so – did for us."

In this Era, the fruit that the seed grew on was extremely rare, so rare, it was a wonder how one of the seeds ended up growing here.

Han Li then spoke about the next part of her wish, "That wish of yours also included having a son by your side, and you ate another fruit to achieve that, a Life fruit. If a man ate it, even he will become pregnant, and you ate a Yang variant that assures a son instead of a daughter."

Yue Li almost couldn't believe it.

Both were indeed magical resources if what he said was true! But she suddenly had a doubt. "But then how did I get you a Cultivation Technique with the system? It is not a Magical Resource right?"

Magical Resources were fruits, trees, and such things that have unique magical properties, how can a technique be a Magical Resource?

Han Li chuckled.

"You asked the wish, 'I want my son to get back the ability to cultivate' and not for the Demonic Sutra itself, if you had asked for it specifically, we would have gotten nothing."

"...I am so confused..."

"Your wish was fulfilled, Mom, but not with the Cultivation Technique, but with a Magical Resource as usual," he paused for a breath and continued, "one of the Seven Sacred Eyes. You traded your 'Sacred level Body Cultivation Talent' for my Red Eyes which is considered one of this world's best resources."

"Your eye?"

"Yes, you got my eye in exchange for your Soul Cultivation Talent and according to the way the Demonic Lust Sutra is set up by the sacred demon, it will automatically reach the host of this special eye you got me by whatever fate."

It was lucky that he got the technique to cultivate, or he would never have known the long Sutra to acquire a Lust Spark in his body. He would have had the ability to cultivate because of the eye, but wouldn't have been able to since summoning the Lust spark into him required the first chant.

Yue Li gulped, so she traded her talent for a high-level eye treasure of sorts? and it ended up giving him the ability to cultivate?

Han Li then said, "But that is such a bad way to use the System, you are just hoping for the best, and there are many ways it could have gone wrong and...anyway! It is a totally dumb way of using it, you could have even gotten my cultivation talent to start working without sacrificing your incredible talent if you did it in a good way!"

All of this was too complicated for Yue Li's simple brain, so she just asked, "How do you know all that?"

Han Li smiled. "Your son is smart and you are dumb, that is just it."

Yue Li's face darkened slightly at the tease on her intelligence and she asked, "Simplify it for me then."

"In simple words, my dumb mom who I just happened to love so much can only trade things in the Asset tab for magical resources of equal value. And even then, there is a small catch."

"I see...what is the catch?" Yue Li asked.

She understood most of what he said too.

'So I had been thinking of the System as a god that can make all my wishes come true, but I was just trading with resources that could help achieve my wishes...'

She gave up her great cultivation talent for peanuts worth of things, but for some reason, that made her more relieved than sad, it felt as if a burden was released from her back.

"The catch..." Han Li sighed, "The catch is that you can only ask for the same type of thing you give."

"...Explain," Yue Li asked, embarrassed.

"You gave away your 'Body Cultivation Talent at Sacred Level', the ultimate representation of Life, for a Life Fruit and a House Builder Seed, which are both resources of Life Type."

There were 8 Types of resources and Life was one of those Types. So, if she traded away a Life type something, she can only buy a Life type something of equal value.

"Then you traded away your 'Sacred level Soul Cultivation Talent' to buy me another Life Type resource of equal value, which was the Eye."

Yue Li's head almost steamed due to all the thinking, but she asked, "So in the end, if I trade One type of thing, I get the same type of thing in return?"

"Exactly! In the current situation of our assets; if we trade away our house, it won't get us anything anymore as it is just considered as normal wood now, it can at maximum buy us a nice smelling incense Magical resource. It doesn't count for much of an asset."

The system didn't mind how the wood was perfectly arranged in a shape that allowed humans to live inside comfortably — as a home. To the system, the house was just wood. It was a wonder it even showed on the Asset tab.

"But if we had the House Building Seed's true thing itself, we could have exchanged it for something really good among the list of Life type Magical Resources, for example, Lifespan Increasing Dew which can increase the lifespan of a mortal with a year for every drop they drink."

That would have been so helpful... It could even heal people from the brink of death if he had it.

The house builder seed was traded with this world's best Cultivation Talent, so it must be very valuable too. He could have gotten a hefty amount of the dew.

Yue Li nodded in slight disbelief; having figured some of the things he told out.

All the while, her mind kept ringing with one question though, where did he suddenly learn all this?

She wasn't so dumb to miss that!

Han Li saw the silent question in her eyes and said. "I just had a dream in which I came to know all this."

She looked at his serious face, there was no way she would believe him...

Han Li chuckled. "I would love to tell you, but not now, okay? I will tell you now if you really want to know, but you have to let me touch you there as much as I want."

"No way you little scoundrel." Yue Li harrumphed gently.

Anyway, he had always been much smarter than her... He should have just figured it out somehow and was probably trying to take advantage of the situation.

She won't fall for his tricks in this matter!

They were walking on dangerous edges earlier itself, and that was her limit.

Han Li smiled and fell into his thoughts, that system had a way to be used, and he was well prepared to do that.

What to trade to get what and how to reach his previous peak as quickly as possible... he had a good idea of what to do.

Even though his mom was the one who had the system, he will be the one to use it, and he will use it well.

"Then what about the Demonic Lust Sutra?" Yue Li suddenly asked: "It is also in the Asset Tab. Can we trade it for something good?"

And Sacred Coins too...

"That is just counted as information that the system will buy from us if we trade the sutra, we can get information in return... but that has a very big issue, you get to only ask one question no matter how good of an information you trade, and it is rather limited in depth too."

That was why Yue Li named it 'Luck-Chat' in the first place, she could give away some things to have a Lucky encounter or give information away to Chat with it.

It was quite a dumb name, but good enough.

She had just been too awed by the system.

If the information he could buy back included things like cultivation techniques or such, it would have been really good, but it couldn't. Sadly so.

It can only be useful in buying high-class knowledge. Others might not know how to make it truly useful, but he had future knowledge to use it perfectly.

"You really came to know about the system more than me in a day...did you really have a dream?"

"Even I don't know much about that thing, it is just too complicated to feel around its working..."

"It is already noon... don't you have to cook anywhere today?" Yue Li suddenly asked as she saw the kight outside through the curtains.

"I don't, but I have some other business...we have to wake up."
