Chapter 12: The Fool’s Second Punishment
Narration:-Treasure Radar Activated! The Hell of Punishment (Again?!)
For the second time in his short, ridiculous life in the Jade Blossom Sect, Walid found himself dragged by two fierce-looking female disciples toward the Hell of Punishment.
This was no ordinary discipline hall—this was where traitors and criminals were locked up, tortured, and beaten until their souls wept for mercy.
And yet…
"WHY AM I HERE AGAIN?!" 😫
The disciples ignored his screaming, marching through the grand corridors of the sect with cold and merciless expressions. The other female disciples watched with amusement, whispering to one another.
👤 "There goes the idiot again."
👤 "How does he always end up in trouble?"
👤 "I heard he made a legendary spirit boar go berserk."
👤 "Hah! I bet he just tripped on it!"
Walid twitched. His reputation had already fallen below zero. The disciples didn't even see him as a real person anymore—just some sect clown that brought disaster wherever he went.
And worse…
🔊 [SYSTEM: CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE BEEN SENT TO THE SECOND LEVEL OF HELL! 🥳]
"STOP MAKING IT SOUND LIKE AN ACHIEVEMENT!" 😡
🔊 [SYSTEM: BUT IT IS! YOUR DUMB LUCK HAS REACHED MAXIMUM LEVEL! 🎉]
Walid had no idea what that meant, but he had a very bad feeling.
Punishment? More Like a Goldmine!
The Second Hell of Punishment was a dark cavern deep beneath the sect's main hall, where prisoners were forced into trials to test their endurance. Some had to walk on fire, others had to balance on swords, and some had to battle fierce spirit beasts.
For Walid?
His punishment was…
"You will dig. Until your hands bleed."
One of the sect elders, Elder Yan, threw him a rusty shovel.
Walid stared at it.
"I… I have to dig?"
"Yes. This entire cavern is unexplored land. There might be rare spirit stones buried here, but we are too busy to mine them ourselves."
"So you're making ME do free labor?!"
"Yes. Now dig."
Walid wanted to protest, but then—
🔊 [SYSTEM: WARNING! YOUR LUCK HAS REACHED OVER 9999! 🚨]
"HUH?!" 😳
🔊 [SYSTEM: YOU HAVE NOW OFFICIALLY BECOME A TREASURE RADAR! 🎯]
At first, Walid didn't understand what that meant. But then…
💥 CLANK!
The moment he stabbed the shovel into the dirt—
A SPIRIT JADE FELL OUT.
👤 "…???"
The disciples watching froze.
"What the—he found a spirit jade on the first try?!"
Elder Yan narrowed her eyes.
"Pure luck. Keep digging."
Walid shrugged and dug again.
💥 CLANK!
A GOLDEN SPIRIT STONE APPEARED.
"..."
The disciples started whispering.
👤 "Wait, wait, wait… This isn't normal."
👤 "How did he find two treasures back to back?!"
Elder Yan crossed her arms, trying to remain calm.
"Coincidence. Keep digging."
Walid, now curious, dug again.
💥 CLANK!
A MYSTICAL RELIC DROPPED OUT.
👤 "…"
👤 "…"
👤 "…"
By now, the entire cavern fell silent.
Even Walid himself stared at the relic in disbelief.
"What… is happening?"
🔊 [SYSTEM: YOU, MY DEAR HOST, HAVE BECOME A WALKING, TALKING TREASURE BEACON! CONGRATS! 🎊]
"W-Wait… Are you telling me… wherever I dig, I find treasures?!" 🤯
🔊 [SYSTEM: BINGO! 🎯]
Walid's eyes sparkled.
"I'M RICH!" 💰
He started digging like a madman, and with each scoop of dirt, something rare and priceless popped out.
💎 Spirit Crystals!
🔥 Flaming Jade!
⚔️ Ancient Weapons!
💀 A Skeleton Wearing a Crown!
👤 "…Wait what?!"
The female disciples, who had been mocking him before, now looked at him with pure shock and greed.
👤 "He's… he's a goldmine!"
👤 "Quick! Make him dig more!"
Elder Yan grabbed Walid's shoulder.
"You! Dig! DON'T STOP!"The System Cries in Pain
While Walid was busy collecting enough wealth to make a sect go bankrupt, the System was having a mental breakdown.
🔊 [SYSTEM: I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS! I AM TRULY CURSED! WHY DID I GET STUCK WITH THIS ABSURD HOST?!] 😭
🔊 [SYSTEM: HIS LUCK IS BEYOND LOGIC! I SWEAR, EVEN THE HEAVENS ARE LOOKING AT THIS AND SAYING 'WHAT THE HELL?!']
Meanwhile, Walid kept laughing like a maniac, tossing golden spirit stones into the air.
"HAHAHAHAHA! TREASURE! TREASURE EVERYWHERE!" 🤩
The sect disciples scrambled to pick up the riches he was throwing.
👤 "M-Mistress! He's literally digging out a kingdom's fortune!"
Mistress Xue, watching from afar, simply sighed.
"…Just let him be. At this point, resisting fate is meaningless."
Elder Yan crossed her arms, watching Walid with an unreadable expression.
"This fool… might actually be the most terrifying existence in this sect."
👤 "Terrifying? But he's an idiot."
"Yes. That's what makes it terrifying."Epilogue: The Legend Begins
And so, the legend of Walid the Walking Treasure Radar began.
By the end of the day, he had dug up enough wealth to make the Jade Blossom Sect the richest sect in the region.
But did he realize how valuable he was now?
No.
Instead, he was busy stacking spirit stones into a chair, sitting on top like a king, while the System cried in despair.
🔊 [SYSTEM: JUST KILL ME ALREADY. I CAN'T TAKE THIS.]
"AHAHAHA! BOW BEFORE KING WALID!" 🤴
👤 "…Should we just throw him back into punishment?"
👤 "Too late. He already turned punishment into a goldmine."
Thus, Walid once again survived through pure dumb luck, while the System questioned its existence.
But little did he know…
His luck was about to bring even greater chaos.
