Chapter 2, one should live life in a down-to-earth manner
The prospect of cultivating immortality is no longer viable, so after finishing the meal, I need to seriously consider whether to pursue a normal university education and enter the workforce, or simply complete high school and venture into entrepreneurship.
He went straight back to his room, buried his head in his meal, and ate ravenously
Or become an athlete
The "Blood Demon Hand" is a blue elite-level talent, providing a lifesteal of +1.5%. However, it pairs quite well with the "Solar Body". When injured or overexerted during training, one can ambush the treants and deal a few heavy blows to them to quickly recover, saving a considerable amount on potions and allowing for continuous self-training.
He sat cross-legged there for more than half an hour, letting out a deep sigh, feeling that it was indeed time to cut off distractions, to give up this golden finger, and to focus his energy and time on other aspects
Ultimately, it is still the body of a mortal; these talents cannot bring about a qualitative change
After borrowing the convenience store's microwave to heat up his bento, he carried the instant meal back to his apartment. The faint aroma of the food made him feel even hungrier, prompting him to quicken his pace. However, just as he reached his door, the neighboring door suddenly opened a crack, revealing a small, delicate face with a melon seed shape peering out. A little girl, around three years old, was curiously looking outside.
Thinking this way seems to bring much more comfort
Perhaps it is indeed time to abandon unrealistic fantasies, and no longer entertain thoughts such as achieving immortality, marrying nine wives, surpassing Tang Bohu, despising Lord Wei, and then returning home in glory.
The "Light of Righteousness" is an orange legendary talent that can significantly enhance the favorability of "righteous individuals" and commoners towards the character. It starts at the level of "Respect" and can also improve the character's attributes. As long as you act justly and eliminate evil, it can continue to increase, with a maximum enhancement of 20 percent.
Then, only the fateful artifact remained, and the one he randomly received was the "Demon Refining Pot," which primarily has two major functions: refining demons and the world within the pot
He has been in Hokkaido for more than two years, tirelessly searching for materials to refine monsters. Not to mention encountering any monsters, he hasn't even seen a single hair of one, leaving him with no raw materials to work with.
This road seems promising
No matter how good one's physical fitness is, how many bullets can one withstand? A handgun may not be effective, but what about an automatic rifle? If an automatic rifle is insufficient, what about switching to artillery or missiles?
The foggy autumn has become even stranger, and I do not understand what her glance means, but I do not take it to heart, thinking only that this child is curious—after all, he has just moved in a few days ago, and it is quite normal for a child to be curious about a new neighbor
However, if one engages in wrongdoing, such as committing robbery or theft without any reason, the same penalties will apply, and there may even be deductions. At most, all attributes may be reduced by 20 percent
As for the world within the pot, it is even more unnecessary to mention. He must pass through that stone mountain every time he enters or exits, surrounded by a circle of rough-skinned and thick-fleshed tree spirits, who are always eager to gang up on him, to whip him, blocking his way and preventing him from leaving. After two years, he has no idea what lies beyond the forest, let alone the prospect of furthering his cultivation endeavors. If it weren't for the uncertainty of why those tree spirits refuse to leave the forest, he might not even dare to enter the 'world within the pot' at this moment.
Subsequently, he suddenly appeared in a foreign land and was forcibly detained by the police. Due to his refusal to speak (as he could not speak Japanese), he continued to feign ignorance (fearing dissection) and had also sustained injuries (from a fall into the river from a height). The police classified him as a runaway autistic youth with severe psychological issues and a strong tendency towards suicide, and he was directly transferred to the Kirishima City Special Care Facility—an official institution specifically for the accommodation of homeless children
This talent can only suggest a promising future, but it is not of much help at the current stage
At most, it was just a loss of two years' time
Having trained hard for two years, my physical fitness still has significant advantages. It should be quite good to become a sports star, right
In this way, not to mention nine wives, it would be difficult to find even one wife
This function is merely a decoration
Of course, being a few years younger is of no consequence; it is just that his "place of birth" was also random, resulting in him inexplicably falling into the Mukawa River in Kiritappu City, Hokkaido in the middle of the night
One should live life in a down-to-earth manner
It sounds equally impressive, with immense potential and quite intimidating, but unfortunately...
Upon leaving the house, he strolled to the convenience store to buy three servings of instant bento. He had been engaging in high-intensity exercise to avoid being struck down by tree spirits during his incursions into the forest, which had resulted in a significant increase in his appetite, making him an invisible glutton. However, he was wearing a semi-finished character template, so despite his large food intake, his physique remained quite normal, not transforming him into a muscle-bound monster or an overweight individual, which could be considered a stroke of luck amidst his misfortunes
... ...
Overall, these three talents are quite good, but to be frank, in the year 2020, in a well-regulated metropolis, the utility of these talents used for showing off and fighting is really not that significant
Talent is random and there are three types: "Light of the Righteous Path", "Body of the Sunshade", and "Hand of Blood Magic"
It was during the summer vacation of his freshman year when he found himself bored at night. He decided to download a popular cultivation game that was trending at the time, intending to play it casually to pass the time. However, just as he randomly completed his character's talents and starting artifact, a flash of lightning struck outside, causing sparks to fly from his computer. Without any psychological preparation, he was forcibly transported to another world. Not only was he transported, but he also experienced a reversal of age, returning to the age of fourteen, which was the initial age of his game character.
The only things he could rely on were three talents that could not bring about a qualitative change, as well as this demon-refining pot. However, the demon-refining pot showed no reaction to those tree spirits, probably because these tree spirits were considered part of the world within the pot. The demon-refining pot was incapable of refining itself—he had tried taking out the remnants of the tree spirits, but there was still no reaction. Relying on the pot to cultivate immortality was fundamentally unfeasible
Peering out very cautiously, with great care, like a small young beast hidden in its nest
He stayed there for two years, and with the help of volunteers, his "condition" gradually improved. He learned Japanese, adapted to the environment, and incidentally received a new name—he was found by the police by the Mist River in autumn, so he was given the new name "Mist Origin Autumn" for the sake of registration
Wu Yuanqiu tilted his head and exchanged glances with the little girl for a moment, feeling somewhat perplexed. However, she was still a neighbor and just a child. Even though he was not in the best of moods at that moment, he still managed to smile. The little girl, with her strikingly clear black-and-white eyes, timidly glanced at him, seemingly a bit shy. She did not make any response and, with a hint of fear, closed the door.
Human beings, after all, have their limits
Therefore, as long as one does not intend to become a criminal, an overall increase of 20% in strength, stamina, and speed is still quite considerable. However, in practical application... it feels rather underwhelming. Over the past two years, he has helped many elderly ladies cross the street, and the sense of improvement in speed has been extremely slow; it hardly feels significant. One wonders when, if ever, he will be able to realize that 20% increase.
He comforted himself for a while, forcibly engaged in some mental fortification, and at least did not directly feel dejected enough to go to his grandmother's house. Then he touched his stomach, looked up at the window, and found that it was already completely dark outside. He simply got up and prepared to go find something to eat—there was no kitchen here, and he had no interest in cooking; all his meals relied on buying.
The "Body of Yang Flame" is a purple epic-level talent, providing +15 to bone structure, +15 to health, a 100% increase in all healing effects, a 33% resistance to negative spells, and a 33% increase in damage dealt to negative creatures. Thanks to this talent, his physique is much stronger than it appears on the surface, and his ability to withstand blows far exceeds that of ordinary people. Whether it is external or internal injuries, he can recover very quickly
He possesses no cultivation techniques, being a standard mortal, completely unaware of swordsmanship or spells, and does not know where to learn them. What can he do when faced with countless tree spirits?
When one fails to make a decisive break, one is instead thrown into chaos. Otherwise, will one truly spend their entire life on this matter
Of course, these are not important; what matters is... He was struck by lightning before he could complete his character creation and did not receive the legendary "system". Aside from his talents and his destined artifact, he lost everything else
Of course, it cannot be said that I have completely given up on this golden finger. Even if I cannot cultivate immortality or gain extraordinary powers, the Demon Refining Pot has many other wonderful uses and remains a significant aid in life. I have not suffered any loss and have not been forcibly relocated without reason.
I have truly exhausted all possible means, yet I still cannot get out, which is extremely frustrating
He is a traveler from another world, now known as Wu Yuanqiu, originally named Wu Yuan, and has been in this world for over two years.
