"Young Brother, I'll leave you here."
Under the gates of Wutan City, a burly man with a seven-gold-star badge on his chest cupped his hands toward a youth with short hair and slightly ill-fitting clothes.
"Thank you, Big Brother Xiao Yong, for the clothes and for escorting me all this way. I will surely repay you in the future!" Chen Yang bowed and cupped his hands somewhat awkwardly toward Xiao Yong, who was carrying a long spear.
"Haha... It's nothing, really." Xiao Yong didn't take Chen Yang's promise of repayment to heart. In his eyes, Chen Yang was just an ordinary person without even a sliver of Dou Qi. He had helped on a whim simply because Chen Yang looked to be about the same age as his son.
Reaching out to pat Chen Yang on the shoulder, Xiao Yong hoisted his spear onto his shoulder and turned to walk into Wutan City.
Chen Yang, however, stood at the city gate for a long time, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.
About two and a half hours ago, he was just an ordinary university student on Earth. Just because he had invited a senior sister out for a bike ride on the weekend, he was sent to the world of "battle through the heavens" by a hundred-ton truck on the national highway.
When he woke up, he was left with nothing but his underwear. Fortunately, he encountered Xiao Yong, who was out on a Family mission; otherwise, he wouldn't even have known where he had transmigrated to.
After learning that this was the world of Dou Po and that Xiao Yong was a member of the Xiao Family in Wutan City, Chen Yang lied, saying he came from Qingshan Town, his parents had been killed by Demonic Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and he planned to seek refuge with relatives in Wutan City.
Thus, Xiao Yong gave him clothes and shoes and brought him to Wutan City, leading to the scene just now.
In truth, having arrived in Wutan City, Chen Yang didn't know what to do next. He had no money and no strength. As an ordinary person in Wutan City, he didn't even know if he could survive until tomorrow.
"Sigh... Even though I've transmigrated, I wasn't even given a System."
Chen Yang shook his head helplessly and stepped through the gates of Wutan City, preparing to see if he could find some work.
Only when he could get some money and solve his survival issues would he be qualified to think about cultivating Dou Qi.
Since he had come to this world where Dou Qi had reached its Peak, he had to at least try the feeling of flying freely, right?
Just as Chen Yang's feet fully stepped into Wutan City, a sudden "ding" sounded in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected that the host has set foot on the first map of this world. The Map's Strongest System is activated!]
[Binding System...]
[Binding complete!]
"I knew it! How could a transmigrator not have a System!!!" Chen Yang was overjoyed. He moved to the side slightly so as not to block pedestrians and began to explore the System's functions in his mind.
After some investigation, Chen Yang understood the System's capabilities.
With the System, every time Chen Yang stepped onto a new map, he would directly become the strongest person on that map.
Furthermore, he would surpass the original strongest individuals on the map in all aspects, including Dou Qi cultivation, Alchemy Skill, Soul Power, Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, weapons, and equipment.
There were two triggering conditions, or rather, limitations.
First, the map must be 'lit up' by this world's Child of Luck, Xiao Yan, before it can be included in the statistical range.
Second, people who are not native to the map are not included in the statistics, with the exception of the protagonist, Xiao Yan!
For example, Xiao Xun Er, Ling Ying, and Venerable YaoYao Chen currently in Wutan City would not be included in the statistics.
However, if Xiao Yan obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert, Chen Yang would also obtain an even more powerful Heavenly Flame!
"That's not a big problem. I'll just follow my fellow countryman around and witness the elegance of the powerhouses on the Fighting Qi Continent."
If he had transmigrated to reference to douluo dalu fanfiction Dalu and been given such a System, after instantly becoming a Title Douluo in Saint Spirit Village, his first move would be to kill Xiao Ling and Tang Hao.
But it was different with Xiao Yan. Firstly, Xiao Yan was a genuine fellow countryman, and secondly, Chen Yang quite liked Xiao Yan's style of doing things. Among protagonists, the ceiling for character was none other than Emperor Yan.
Taking a step back, given that Xiao Yan hadn't yet reached the Three-Year Agreement, when his engagement was broken, Chen Yang only needed to offer a few words of comfort. In the future, he could at least become the City Lord of Wutan City. After Xiao Yan became an Emperor, there might even be a place for him in the Major Thousand Worlds.
[Ding!]
[Detected that the current strongest person in Wutan City is Xiao Zhan, with the strength of a Five-Star Great Dou Shi. Host's strength is being raised to Nine-Star Great Dou Shi!]
[Detected that the highest-ranking Alchemist in Wutan City is Gu Ni, at the Rank of Second-Grade Alchemist. Host's AlchemistRank is being raised to Third-Grade Alchemist!]
[Detected that the highest-RankCultivation Technique in Wutan City is a Profound RankIntermediateCultivation Technique. Host has obtained the Profound Tier High-Rank Cultivation Technique: 'Crimson Flame Art'!]
[Detected that the highest-RankDou Technique in Wutan City is a Profound Rank Low-RankDou Technique. Host may choose three Profound RankIntermediateDou Techniques or one Profound Rank High-RankDou Technique!]
[Host has obtained one storage ring with a capacity of 20 cubic meters and one Tier 3 Medicine Cauldron.]
Swish!
Almost instantly, Chen Yang's Dou Qi rose from nothing all the way to Nine-Star Great Dou Shi. Moreover, it was a solid, well-tempered Nine-Star Great Dou Shi cultivation derived from a Profound Tier High-Rank Cultivation Technique.
Next, memories, techniques, and various Pill Formulas belonging to a Third-Grade Alchemist appeared in Chen Yang's mind. It was as if he had studied under a Great Master of alchemy for two and a half years; his foundation was incredibly solid, the kind where the success rate for refining a Spirit Awakening Pill was 100%.
Then came the infusion of the Profound Tier High-Rank Cultivation Technique, the 'Crimson Flame Art', as well as a green storage ring quietly appearing on the middle finger of his left hand, and the Tier 3 Medicine Cauldron inside the storage ring.
"For the Dou Technique, I choose one Profound Rank High-RankDou Technique!"
The difference between Dou TechniqueRanks was like heaven and earth. The power unleashed by a Profound Rank High-RankDou Technique was far beyond what three Profound RankIntermediate ones could match.
[Ding! According to the host's wishes, the host has obtained the Profound Rank High-RankDou Technique 'Setting Sun Sword Formula' and one Tier 3 Fire-Attribute Magic Core Longsword!]
Among the eighteen types of weapons, Chen Yang still liked swords the most. Thus, the System thoughtfully arranged a Profound Rank High-Rank sword Dou Technique for him and threw in a longsword fused with a Tier 3 fire-attribute Demonic Beast's Magic Core.
His Soul Power "looked" toward the diamond-shaped crystal at his Dantian. Feeling the surging Dou Qi within his body, Chen Yang suppressed the urge to erupt his Dou Qi and enjoy the moment, silently walking toward the city interior.
The process of fusing the Dou Qi cultivation took almost a second, with no Dou Qi leaking out at all. No one knew that Chen Yang, who was an ordinary person a second ago, had become a top powerhouse in Wutan City the next.
Walking down the street, Chen Yang's mood quickly stabilized. Having passed the initial confusion of Transmigration, he could now face it with a calm heart.
Although he wasn't invincible right from the start, in Wutan City, as long as he didn't try to assassinate Xiao Xun Er or Xiao Yan, his Nine-Star Great Dou Shi strength was enough to walk sideways.
Besides, being invincible right away would lack a bit of the 'gaming experience'.
Furthermore, as long as he followed Xiao Yan into the eastern part of the Magical Beast Mountain Range, he would instantly possess the strength of a Dou Huang. Upon reaching the Snake-People Tribe, he would go straight to Dou Zong. Strength and everything else would come in time!
'I'll go to the Mittel Auction House, use my Alchemy Skill to get some money first, and then find an opportunity to repay Big Brother Xiao Yong's kindness!'
Chen Yang scanned the streets of Wutan City, made some inquiries, and walked toward the Mittel Auction House... PS: Although this book isn't a 'nanny' novel in the true sense, the Golden Finger's setting cannot be separated from Xiao Yan, otherwise this book couldn't be written.
The protagonist just entered Wutan City and became a Three-Star Great Dou Shi, then headed straight to the Magical Beast Mountain Range to become a Seven-Star Dou Huang. In the afternoon, he goes to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital to become a One-Star Dou Zong, at night to Jia Nan Academy to become a One-Star Dou Zun, then to the Central Plains to grind to Dou Sheng, and the next day to the Gu Clan to directly become a Dou Di.
I've written this kind of invincible Golden Finger before. If I limit the protagonist's strength, people say I'm suppressing the power levels, so I can only limit it through conditions to increase the fun of the plot.
And for the plot to be fun, he must participate in the story, and participating in the story inevitably means contacting Xiao Yan.
This will attract a bunch of people calling it a 'nanny' novel.
I've been reading web novels for nearly twenty years. Honestly, in terms of character alone, if Xiao Yan isn't the ceiling, he's at least in the top tier, right?
What, you don't like Xiao Yan, you like God King Tang?
Let me clarify here: the reason I say it's not a 'nanny' novel in the true sense is that any help the protagonist gives Xiao Yan in the future will be for a reason and part of an equivalent exchange.
Later, the protagonist helping Xiao Yan is only to maximize his own benefits. For example, by helping Xiao Yan get a Heavenly Flame, the protagonist will obtain an even stronger one, etc... Also, this book has multiple heroines. Basically, except for Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, Xiao Yu, Xiao Mei, and those minor supporting characters.
