Upon stepping out the door with a butcher's knife, leveling up is all about fighting. Qin Yue, whose meridians are blocked after his soul transmigrates into a different world, becomes a winner in life in a split second thanks to the unparalleled leveling system. The Martial Emperor said, "Brother Yue, I have a cultivation question to ask you." The Pill Emperor said, "Big Brother Yue, how did you get this ancient pill recipe?" Qin Yue felt quite helpless. A genius, you know?
Lying in bed, staring at the sky through a few fallen roof tiles, Qin Yue could not comprehend. Wasn't it just that he didn't shut down his computer during a thunderstorm? How did that lead to him getting struck by lightning and ended up in another world?
Time traveling was one thing, but why? He used to be a young master with a luxurious life, but now his living conditions seem worse than a wage slave from his previous life.
Should he fix this dilapidated tile house?
Sighing deeply, Qin Yue wanted nothing more than to go back to sleep and pretend it was all a dream when he woke up. But when he did wake up, he heard a soft voice calling gently, "Brother Yue, it's time to get up. It's already noon."
Qin Yue didn't want to open his eyes, but he couldn't resist the pleasing sound of the voice.
Once he opened his eyes, seeing the rundown tile house, Qin Yue realized there was no going back.
He was the legitimate eldest son of the Qin family, and the head of the Qin household was his father. Nevertheless, Qin Yue was born with a sealed martial soul, his twelve major Yin and Yang meridians were thoroughly blocked. His father, the head of the Qin household, had gone to the Northern Desert Alchemy Association to acquire a marrow cleansing pill for him, but a year had passed with no news.
Because of this, the rightful heir was despised by all.
But the beauty in front of him?
Qin Yue was startled, and more memories bubbled up in his mind.
This girl was named Luo Li, named after the mythical Luo River goddess. She was the adopted daughter of the Qin household's head, and grew up with Qin Yue, their relationship could be considered childhood sweethearts.
"Brother Yue, what's wrong? Are you having an episode again?"
"Oh no, what should we do?"
It seems that Qin Yue's problem was more than just having blocked meridians; he often went into a trance. Prolonged daydreaming could easily lead one into a dead end. The last memory Qin Yue had was of himself collapsing by a lake.
It appeared to be a suicide— it seems I've inherited someone else's life.
"It's lucky that we both share the surname Qin and the name Qin Yue - dear sister, I'll take good care of you."
The sixteen-year-old Luo Li was seemingly more translucent than Qin Yue. Not to mention her bright eyebrows and kind eyes, her slender figure, or her delicate features like crystal, skin like white snow, and the natural fragrance unique to a young girl that made people irresistibly take a deep breath.
"Brother Yue."
Luo Li seemed to have noticed that Qin Yue was not seriously injured. She was startled by his cheeky face that came close to her. "Brother Yue, you're okay, right?"
Why has brother Yue become sillier? Luo Li was thinking about this the whole time.
Qin Yue didn’t know what she was thinking, but he quickly collected his thoughts. He sorted out his mind and asked, "Didn't you go to administer room to receive this month’s payment? Why are you back so late?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Li's little mouth couldn't help but pout, "It's all because of Qin Tong. He is just a steward, not only did he not give me this month’s salary, but he also said... "
The girl blushed, the merged memories of two lives made Qin Yue exceptionally understanding. He cursed, "If my father hadn't been away for a year, how could this dog slave have the chance to dominate."
Qin Yue stood up, hands behind his back, and took a deep sigh again.
Even if Qin Zhan was at the Qin family today, according to the standard of a martial student who has not reached the age of eighteen yet, he was afraid he couldn't protect himself after all.
"Brother Yue, don't worry too much."
Luo Li, with her exquisite thoughts, held his sleeve and comforted softly, "The Martial King Zhao Yifu of the current dynasty started practicing martial arts at the age of fifty, you're only eighteen, you still have many years to work hard."
The crisp voice of the girl made Qin Yue come to his senses. In the previous world, Qin Yue was nothing more than an ordinary person who couldn't afford a house after years of employment. In this life, he must make a difference. But shouldn't everyone who traverses have some kind of golden finger or a golden ring, or at least a white-bearded old man to guide them?
How about me?
Looking at Luo Li who was trying to comfort himself, Qin Yue asked softly in rebuttal, “What level of martial disciple is Luo Li now?"
"Didn't I already become a martial artist last month?"
Luo Li was silent for a moment, but eventually under Qin Yue's gaze, she muttered something reluctantly.
Qin Yue's heart sank slightly, had he actually fallen behind even a little girl now?
In this world, the levels of cultivators were, in order: martial apprentice, martial artist, martial master, martial warrior, martial king, martial venerable, martial emperor, and martial god.
Among these, the martial apprentice level is the entry level. Normally, the transition from a martial apprentice to a martial artist is the most time-consuming stage, typically requiring no less than three years. However, Luo Li, who had only been practicing for a year, had already become a martial artist.
This had indeed left Qin Yue quite startled.
Could that silly girl who used to follow him like a shadow have become a martial arts genius?
For a moment, Qin Yue struggled to accept this reality. However, seeing his discomfort, Luo Li murmured, "Actually, brother Yue is much smarter than me. You will definitely surpass me in the future."
With a bitter but uneasy smile, Qin Yue said, "Gods that brought me here via lightning strike, do you have any instructions for me? You can't let me be stuck with blocked meridians forever, can I? In that case, I'd rather get hit by another lightning and go back." He didn't think much, and patted the girl's head saying, "Of course, your brother Yue will definitely become a super warrior."
"Okay," the girl answered, nodding heavily. Her gaze remained as usual, watching him.
For the first time, Qin Yue experienced the beauty of another world.
After a while, Qin Yue's stomach growled. Luo Li was taken aback, blushing slightly, she said, "Brother Yue, I'm sorry, I forgot to get your food. Wait here, I'll go buy it now."
"Stop."
Having lived in two different worlds, Qin Yue was quick to recognize the girl's embarrassment. He sighed secretly in his heart, "Take this with you, and use it as you need."
This is an ancient jade pendant, clearly a valuable relic at first glance. If Qin Yue wasn't living penniless, even struggling for meals, he would never have thought of using it as currency. Moreover, Qin Yue did wonder if this could be the so-called system?
But ever since he had traversed into this world, he had tried everything on this jade — immersion in water, burning it, biting it, stepping on it, using all kinds of methods — but it failed to react in any way.
So he just... dismissed it.
"Brother Yue, I still have money." Luo Li's voice has become a bit softer.
Qin Yue couldn't help but smile, "You've never been good at lying. Whenever you lie, you lower your head and your voice becomes as soft as a mosquito's buzz."
"Not true." Luo Li forcefully lifted her head, but seeming to consider that this action admitted her lie, she unconsciously lowered it again, "Brother Yue, don't worry. East Emperor Academy will come to recruit new students in one month. By then, I will have money."
Finishing the sentence, the little girl turned around and walked off.
Looking at Luo Li's receding figure, Qin Yue felt a stinging sensation in his heart.
Damn it, I can’t rely on a girl to support me in the future, can I?
Qin Yue propped his brow, feeling a profound sense of loss.
But this feeling of loss didn’t last long, it was soon disrupted by a clamor.
"Is there anyone there?"
"Did he die?"
"Can't say for certain. The young master has always been sickly; it wouldn't be strange if he's dead."
Listening to the voices, Qin Yue exited his room and entered the courtyard.
Looking at the newcomer, a cold smirk spread across Qin Yue’s face, "So it's you, Qin Tong, the flunky."
"What did you just say?"
Originally, Qin Tong had come here to the residence of the eldest young master of the Qin family in an arrogant manner, merely to taunt him. At present, since Qin Yue was in a dire state, everyone wanted to give him a kick while he was down. But hearing Qin Yue's brazen attitude made Qin Tong feel awful.
He was a steward.
Not a flunky.
In other words, not Qin Yue's flunky.
Qin Yue took a step forward, and without waiting for Qin Tong to retort, he said, "Dare you say you're not the dog raised in our Qin family? Who do you think you are? What business do you have with me, the young master?"
Since his memory had returned, Qin Yue had understood the true nature of Qin Tong, who not only deliberately made things difficult for him, but also spared no one, not even Luo Li.
How could he just laugh off such grudges and grievances? If you're not a friend, then you're an enemy. This is how Qin Yue thought.
A crushing sound.
It seemed like his shoe had squashed an insect.
Qin Yue treated it as if he was stepping on Qin Tong, grinding the imaginary bug under his shoe deliberately.
"Congratulations host for activating the Invincible Level Up System."
At this moment, such a sentence suddenly appeared in Qin Yue's mind.
Host: Qin Yue.
Level: 0.
Stamina: 4.
Spirit Power: 7.
Novice Gift Pack: Unclaimed.
Damn, I knew it! How could there not be a cheat system in a transmigration?
Qin Yue paused for a moment, then his face was suffused with laughter.
