I Am Loaded with Passive Skills

“Darn it!”

16

When Xu Xiaoshou opened his eyes again, he found that everything had changed.

3

The only things he could see were a ceiling covered in spider webs, a small wooden table cloaked in dust, a candle stub that had been fully burnt, as well as a black sword that had a powerful spiritual aura.

7

This room’s décor was drastically different from that of his hospital ward.

5

Xu Xiaoshou tilted his head and searched his memory.
He remembered that he had finally kicked the bucket after optimistically battling with his illness for three years.

21

The pain had ended.
He had waved his hands and bade farewell to the heavens.
However, he’d still felt indignant.

Why did other people have such vibrant lives, and yet he had to be confined to the hospital ward after nine years of compulsory education?

18

School and hospital.
Those were painful words for people, yet those two things had taken up his entire life.

9

As for now…

He looked around at his foreign yet familiar surroundings, then pinched himself all over.
However, he didn’t really feel any pain.

3

“Did God take pity on me? Did I cross over to another world without pain?”

7

Xu Xiaoshou shifted his gaze to the bronze mirror on the table and saw a new, yet just as handsome face.

23

He looked like an 18-year-old teenager with a pale complexion.
He looked as though he hadn’t been in the sun for a long time.
He had a tall nose that separated the few freckles on both sides of his face, and his lips were dry and cracked.

9

“Not bad.
I’ll look better after I get a little tanner and eat a little more.
Especially these few freckles…”

9

Xu Xiaoshou puckered his lips and rubbed the dead skin on his lips away.
He searched back through his memories, trying to find out why he was so withered and scrawny.

4

This person had been an outer yard disciple of the Tiansang Spirit Palace.
Unfortunately, he only had average talent.
He had entered the spirit palace for three years, yet had only reached Level Three of the ten levels of spiritual cultivation.
He had engaged in death seclusion for one month, determined to achieve a breakthrough to deal with the Windcloud Competition.

14

He’d rather die than not succeed!

2

In the end, he had died…

30

Xu Xiaoshou shook his head with pity.
This person had known that he wouldn’t be able to break through to Level Four.
He had been subjected to mockery and sarcasm these last three years and had gotten the heart to die.

15

He had only used the death seclusion this time as a reason and an excuse to follow through with his plan.

It was a different world and a different set of troubles.
Xu Xiaoshou had been tortured physically, while this person had been ravaged mentally.

3

Both of their lives were pitiful.

“However, since I’ve been given this chance, I will never be defeated by the rumors and slander,” Xu Xiaoshou thought to himself.
He continued to drudge up fragments of memory, and his expression turned dark.

9

As it turned out, the Windcloud Competition was equivalent to a year-end exam.
This person had placed last for two years.
He would have to pack up and leave the Tiansang Spirit Palace if he lost again this year.

2

It was no wonder that he had engaged in death seclusion.
It looked like he’d had no other choice…

3

Xu Xiaoshou was put in a predicament.
Why had he been put in such a stressful situation the moment he’d crossed over to this world? A year-end exam? And elimination, no less, if he ranked last?

11

As a person who had experienced exams before, he was most terrified of them.
This was especially so since he lacked both soft and hard power at the moment.

6

More terrifyingly, there was no dark technology in this world, so he couldn’t cheat…

8

His thoughts were running wild.
He nearly finished retrieving all his memories.
Then, his soul shook and he seemed to have fully fused with this body.

The next second, a black wheel appeared in his mind.

5

“…” Xu Xiaoshou thought.

“So there is dark technology in this world?”

14

He quickly looked into his mind and closely examined the black wheel.

2

The black wheel was rather simple in design.
It looked like a product from a roadside stall and didn’t look particularly valuable.
Xu Xiaoshou severely doubted that this piece of dark technology had been placed here just to appease him.

The base of the wheel was split into two sections, one gold and the other red.

1

Interestingly, the gold section occupied ninety percent of the wheel’s area, while the red section only occupied a small sector.

“That’s too unfair…” Xu Xiaoshou silently cursed.
According to what he’d learned in the past, the diminished red sector usually had the best stuff.

5

However, the gold section was marked with the words “Active System,” while the words “Passive System” were on the red section.

10

“Active and Passive?” Xu Xiaoshou’s expression turned puzzled.
From a gaming perspective, active techniques were naturally better than passive techniques.
After all, how was he going to kill enemies with just passive skills alone?

40

He might not even be able to kill wild monsters!

Could it be that the black wheel thought that my previous life was too pitiful and thus expanded the area of the “Active System” as a reward?

2

Xu Xiaoshou became excited.
That must be the case!

1

“It’s a wheel with a conscience.
We don’t see this too often!”

9

He was elated.
He wanted to search for something that looked like a start button, but couldn’t find anything.

In his mind, there was nothing else other than this simple wheel.

Was the wheel supposed to be activated manually?

He looked at the shabby black wheel, afraid that he would damage it if he wasn’t careful.
However, it seemed like he had no other choice but to activate it by force.

1

Xu Xiaoshou looked at the needle on the wheel.
It was long and slender.
It looked like it couldn’t withstand a gust of wind.

He gave it a try.
He used his will to gently push the needle.
The wheel shook and looked like it was about to move.

… Then nothing.

“That’s it?”

2

The wheel had only looked like it’d been about to move.
In the end, the needle didn’t budge an inch.
Xu Xiaoshou felt that the person who had made this wheel hadn’t put too much thought into it.

2

It was all right that the wheel looked shabby, but it wasn’t even greased.
How was he going to use it?

1

He exerted a little more force with his will.
The needle seemed to tilt to the side.
However, it still felt like it was resisting him.
He needed to use more force!

Xu Xiaoshou used even mo
