Chapter 1 I Just Want to Take the Shortcut
May, 336 AD.
Lu Yao stared speechlessly at the face in the mirror that resembled his own seven or eight parts, but was clearly younger and more handsome.
Unexpectedly, he stayed up all night revising a plan, and then he time-traveled.
The world he transmigrated to was largely similar to the East University where Lü Yao had lived in his previous life. The historical development and even the level of technology were similar, except that the trend of "human body cultivation" suddenly emerged in this world more than 300 years ago.
Up to now.
Superhumans with extraordinary physical abilities have become the mainstream in this world.
Human body cultivation has even been incorporated into junior and senior high school curricula.
This made Lü Yao wonder if he had traveled to the future. No wonder many places before his time travel had incorporated cultivation into their curriculum! Was it all foreshadowed all along?
Unfortunately, Lü Yao, who transmigrated here, is not particularly talented. He has been cultivating for six years since high school and is still at a relatively low level.
However, Lü Yao remained completely calm.
Setting down the mirror, Lü Yao focused his mind, and a dialog box quickly appeared in his eyes:
Please select your cheat code type.
【Part 1: Heaven rewards diligence – all your efforts will be rewarded many times over, and each level up will grant you additional enhancement options】
[Part Two: The Winner in Life – As a winner in life, every breath you take makes you stronger.]
Looking at the dialog box in front of him, Lü Yao was neither overjoyed nor calm.
The opposite of.
His feelings were complicated.
Every time his gaze fell on the first option, he felt a sharp pain in his liver.
Before transmigrating, Lü Yao was from Jiangsu Province. As everyone knows, children in Jiangsu Province are constantly studying from birth, studying in elementary school, middle school, university, and even after graduating from university! People in Jiangsu Province who are constantly studying have livers of iron.
But Lü Yao genuinely felt exhausted.
The weariness emanating from the depths of his soul made him feel suffocated even when he saw the four words "Heaven rewards diligence".
Therefore, even though the positive feedback given by option one alone could send Lü Yao's adrenaline soaring, Lü Yao still firmly chose "Life Winner"—this time, he really didn't want to get involved anymore.
As soon as the option was selected, the option box in front of Lü Yao disappeared quickly, and a new line of text appeared:
You have chosen to be a "winner in life." As a winner in life, every day from now on you will be on the path to victory, and every breath you take will be filled with power.
Your personal panel has been unlocked.
[You took a breath, your general experience +0.1]
Huh?
Is the cheat code starting to work now?
Lu Yao focused his attention again, and a semi-transparent, minimalist panel appeared before him:
[General experience: 0.3↑]
[Cultivation Realm: Fourth Stage of Physical Body Reincarnation (47815/50000)]
[Basic Skill - Eight Forms of Enemy Destruction: Intermediate Level (158921/1000000)]
This panel is easy to understand at a glance, even to the point of being somewhat simplistic and hasty.
But these are all minor issues.
As long as the cheat code works, that's fine!
After ten breaths, Lü Yao finally gained 1 point of general experience. He then added this experience to his cultivation level. As the level value became 47816, Lü Yao felt a negligible heat flow enter his body from the void, like a gentle breeze that arrived quietly and then disappeared just as quietly.
Although the sensation was faint, there was no doubt about it.
This cheat code is useful.
He can really become stronger just by breathing!
Only at this moment did Lü Yao feel a surge of relief and joy, and under the comfort of this joy, he felt as if his cerebral cortex was about to relax.
This feeling of winning without effort—
Cool!!
Lu Yao simply lay down on his bed in his dormitory and focused intently on each breath he took. With each breath, a notification would pop up in front of him:
[You took a breath, your general experience +0.1]
He stared intently as the system notifications refreshed with each breath, not getting tired of them at all, but rather feeling incredibly happy—it turned out that an adult's happiness could be so simple.
Just as Lü Yao was immersed in this simple and peaceful happiness, the dormitory door opened, and several tired-looking roommates returned from outside. Seeing Lü Yao lying on the bed, calmly and comfortably resting his head on his hands and staring blankly at the sky, the roommates asked with concern, "Da Yao, are you still not over the argument?"
"You're graduating soon, shouldn't you hurry up and boost your cultivation? I remember you're not even at the fifth level yet, right? The minimum cultivation level requirement for campus recruitment is the fifth level!"
My roommate kindly reminded me.
But Lü Yao waved his hand and laughed, "It's rare to have half a day of leisure in this busy life, let me rest for a while."
In just the short time they chatted, his general experience level increased a little.
At this moment, the last roommate to enter the dormitory laughed and said, "Hey, we can't compare ourselves to Da Yao. Even if he doesn't pass the campus recruitment, he can still live a life of ease with his handsome face, right, Da Yao?"
The last one to come in and speak was named Xu Ping'an. Just from his tone, you could tell he was a carefree and irresponsible person. He was also quite flamboyant, with an American-style spiky hairstyle, a height of 1.8 meters, and good looks. He had probably messed with quite a few girls during his university years.
Lü Yao laughed and said, "You're right, that's definitely a viable path."
Upon hearing this, Xu Pingan immediately perked up: "Damn! You've finally come to your senses? You're finally going to dump that green tea bitch Zhang Biqian and become a gigolo? Good riddance! I told you a long time ago that woman wasn't a good person!"
After sensing the juicy gossip, the other roommates' eyes lit up as they looked at Lü Yao.
Lü Yao smiled and waved his hand: "I won't talk about it, I won't talk about it."
Just as he finished speaking and was about to lie back down, his phone vibrated.
Lu Yao picked up his phone, unlocked it, and saw that it was a message from this body's girlfriend: "Lu Yao, even if my best friend said some bad things about you, you can't talk to her like that. I've already talked to my best friend, you treat us to a meal in Yamazaki and that'll be the end of it."
what?
Lu Yao looked at the information and thought for a moment. Yamazaki was a high-end Japanese restaurant in Shangnan, with an average cost of over a thousand yuan per person.
He only has a little over two thousand yuan a month for living expenses, and those two guys are asking him to treat them?
I'll fuck you!
His predecessor was also innocent. He had been dating Zhang Biqian, that green tea bitch, for almost half a year. Apart from holding hands, they hadn't even kissed. Yet, he still squeezed out money from his living expenses and the money he earned from part-time jobs every month to support that green tea bitch!
Isn't this just being used as an ATM?
Despite feeling nauseous, Lü Yao typed back, "I'm not your father, why are you begging me?"
After saying that, Lü Yao blocked and deleted him in one go!
I feel bad if I keep such a person on my phone.
Even so, Lü Yao still felt nauseous, so he jumped out of bed and said, "Hey guys, wanna go get some barbecue?"
Xu Pingan was the first to chime in: "Wow! You really have to be more magnanimous after a breakup, huh?"
Lü Yao was amused.
indeed.
If a man doesn't spend money on a woman, he can't possibly spend three thousand yuan a month.
Lu Yao stood up, waving his phone and laughing, "Unlimited beer and barbecue tonight, what are you guys supposed to call me?"
The guys in the dorm suddenly let out a strange scream in unison:
"Godfather!!"
Lu Yao changed his clothes with satisfaction and went to the food street near the school with his roommates to find something to eat.
Near every university, there is always a food street or food plaza, and the food that can stay in such places for a long time and do well is usually pretty good.
Lu Yao followed his roommates to a Northeastern barbecue restaurant they frequented. Then, the group of guys grabbed skewers like starving ghosts entering a granary, while Xu Ping'an took the most various whips and kidneys.
Just as the group in the dorm had sat down, chatting and smoking while waiting for the barbecue, Xu Pingan suddenly shouted into his phone, "Holy crap, Da Yao! You've been targeted in the group chat!"
Lu Yao was taken aback: "Huh? What's going on?"
