Rebooted as "Harry Potter Transmigration"


An 18 years old boy has just finished reading what he found as the most annoying series of books ever: the Harry Potter Series. There were two reasons for his annoyance with the series.

One: our MC was also named Harry Potter and he was greatly teased by it.

Two: the main characters in the books were seriously underdeveloped.

"I mean come on, an average guy defeats the most powerful evil wizard alive? Who are you kidding?"

P.S. I do not own Harry Potter. This is purely fan-fiction.

Carrie woke up due to the buzzing sound of her alarm clock.

'Hello, first day of school', sabi niya sa sarili habang bumabangon mula sa higaan niya.

Habang bumababa siya mula sa taas ng double-decker bed ay napansin niya ang iba niyang mga dorm mates na isa-isang nagsisibangon. 

"Ano ba naman 'yan. Gusto ko pang matulog. Pwedeng bukas na lang ang Monday? I wanna sleep," said Nikki, isa sa limang dormmates niya sa Goldwest Fields School. 

Goldwest Fields School is an elite high school where children of influencial families from all over the country attend. Some are from families owning big businesses while some are from political families. Sons and daughters of celebrities, and even young celebrities themselves, are studying here, too. 

The school, as seen from above, forms a big trapezoidal shape. As seen on the front, it has an enormous, 15-foot tall, black steel gates. High class din ang security ng school dahil na din sa estado ng buhay ng mga nag-aaral dito.

Pagpasok ng gate, makikita ang napakaluwag na driveway papasok sa loob ng school premises. Along the sides are colorful flower beds with a variety of beautiful flowers.

A few meters from the gate, at the center, was a big fountain and a tall clock tower, with the driveway forming a big letter "O" around it.

At the back of it facing the gate was the main building, the Gold Hall. It has six floors and a big entrance at the center of the first floor, leading to the inner parts of the campus. It has the name of the school at its topmost part and the school's seal below it. The building holds all the offices, conference rooms, and the infirmary. 

At the heart of the campus, fronting Gold Hall's big entrance was a soccer field to the left and an oval track to the right. Between them were two flagpoles, one having the Philippine flag and the school's flag on the other. 

To the left, beside the soccer field was the school library, the Jewel Hall. Next to it was the Diamond Hall, which holds all of the students' laboratory activities. At the back of both buildings was a mini forest with benches and kiosks where students can cool down and spend their free times in peace. 

To the right, beside the oval track were the two 6-story adjacent buildings, Opal and Jade Halls, where all the classrooms are located. At the back of these buildings was a wide parking area.

Next to the soccer field and oval track were three buildings facing the Gold Hall (from left to right): Silver, Ruby, and Crystal.

The sports center, Silver Hall, is where all indoor sports activities are held. It also has a big swimming pool inside.

The Ruby Hall is a two-story building with a big function hall on the ground floor, where the school holds various occasions, and the theater room on the second floor.

The Crystal Hall has the school cafeteria on the first floor, student organizations and club rooms on the second, and a rooftop where students hold their club activities. The rooftop has a mechanical roof, which can be spread out during rainy days and kept on the sides during sunny days with just a single press of a botton.

At the back of these three buildings was a wide enclosed cemented space which can be used as basketball, volleyball, or tennis courts. Athletes often spend their free times here. Students named it the "Sports Corner". 

Goldwest Fields School also has its own condominium-type dormitories inside the campus located at the back of the school premises. Facing each other were the female dorm, Sapphire Hall (left), and the male dorm, Emerald Hall (right), both with six floors which houses all of the school's students, faculty and staff.

These buildings were the biggest ones in the campus, with the both of them occupying 30% of the whole school's land area. Both dorms were separated by a mini garden, with a fish pond at the center and a small fountain in the middle of it. They also have car pick-up and drop-off areas fronting their entrances.

The first floors of each building are for the faculty and staff, and from the second to the fifth floors are for the students. The sixth floors have a mini pool, a gym containing various workout equipments, shower rooms, vending machines and a number of bleachers on the sides. A wide fluffy carpet can also be seen there. Everyone calls it the "Entertainment Space" which covers about one-third of the floor's whole area. Students can play games or sleep there or watch a movie since there is a wide flat screen TV on front. Both buildings have rooftops, too. 

Each dorm room was big enough to accommodate a maximum of six occupants. Basically, it has all the things one needs in a house. Each room has, at the very least: three sets of big double-decker beds with adjacent bookshelves; six individual study tables and chairs; a long study table suitable for group discussions or as a dining table; three big cabinets for clothing and a number of smaller ones; a small kitchen; its own lavatory with a large human size mirror attached to the wall; and, a shower room with three separate shower cubicles and a bath tub. Carrie's dorm room is on the third floor, Room No. 5.

Napakaswerte nga kung maituturing si Carrie dahil nakakapag-aral siya sa napakarangyang eskwelahan na ito. Kung tutuusin, ni wala sa kalingkingan ng mga buhay ng kanyang mga kaklase ang estado ng buhay ng pamilya niya.

Nakatira siya sa isang probinsiya, malapit sa tabing-dagat kung saan pangingisda ang pangunahing ikinabubuhay ng mga naninirahan doon.

Mangingisda ang ama niyang si Gary samantalang mananahi naman ang kanyang inang si Erika. Pangalawa si Carrie sa tatlong magkakapatid.

Ang ate niyang si Samantha ay kasalukuyang nag-aaral sa kolehiyo sa isang malaking unibersidad sa bayan. Third year college na ito sa kursong Computer Science. Ang kanilang bunsong kapatid na si Lester naman ay Grade 6 na sa pinapasukan nitong public school sa lugar nila. Siya naman ay graduating student na rin sa Goldwest Fields. 

Maraming mga kabaranggay nila ang hanga sa kanilang pamilya. Ang swerte nga daw ng mag-asawang sina Gary at Erika dahil matatalino ang kanilang mga anak.

Scholar ang kanyang ate sa university na pinapasukan nito, na gumraduate bilang isang honor student nang magtapos ito ng high school. Si Lester naman ay malaki ang tsansang maging bronze medalist kapag nagtapos na ito ng Grade 6. Valedictorian naman si Carrie noong gumraduate siya sa elementary.

Isang hulog ng langit ang pagpasok niya sa Goldwest Fields. Naging beneficiary kasi ang baranggay nila sa isang community project ng eskwelahan.

Labing-isang taong gulang siya noon nang dumating ang isang grupo ng mga guro at mag-aaral sa lugar nila mga ilang linggo pagkatapos niyang gumraduate sa Grade 6. Tatlong araw din ang mga ito sa kanila.

Nadiskubre ang katalinuhan ni Carrie sa pagtatapos ng programa nang magkaroon ng isang mini quiz game ang lahat ng mga bata. Namangha sa kanya ang isa sa mga may-ari ng GWFS na si Raul Fuentabella.

Goldwest Fields School is a family-owned school of the known Fuentabella family, na pinamumunuan ng ama ni Raul Fuentabella na si Don Jaime Fuentabella.

Nang matapos ang mini quiz ay agad siyang nilapitan ni Mr. Fuentabella. Sinamahan niya ito sa kanilang maliit na bahay upang ipakilala sa mga magulang at mga kapatid niya.

Nakita nito ang napakaraming medalya na nakasabit sa kanilang dingding, na tuluyang nag-udyok dito na mag-offer ng scholarship sa kanya. Noong una ay nag-aalangan pa ang kanyang mga magulang dahil malayo ang eskwelahan nito sa bahay nila, ngunit nang sabihin nito na may dormitoryo naman sa loob ng paaralan at ibibigay nila lahat ng mga pangangailangan ni Carrie doon ay napanatag naman ang dalawa.

Kahit na alam nilang malalayo sa kanila ang anak ay pinayagan nila itong mag-aral doon dahil sa tingin nila ay ito ang magiging daan sa pag-abot ni Carrie sa mga pangarap.

Hindi naging madali para kay Carrie ang unang mga buwan niya sa paaralang iyon. Many were looking down on her.

Pero nang maging honor student siya sa unang grading period niya sa first year, nabawasan ang mga pumupuna sa kanya.

Meron din naman siyang naging malalapit na kaibigan sa loob ng apat na taon, ang mga roommates niya sa Room 3-5 ng Sapphire Hall: Ali, Nikki, Nae, Jan, and Raii.

Alesia Montevallo, or Ali, hails from a family of doctors and nurses. Her family from his father's side owns the Montevallo Medical Center while her mother was a nurse there before. She wants to become a doctor someday like her dad. She is the Goldwest Fields' Student Council President and the Top 1 student of their batch. 

Nikki, or Nikhaila Hidalgo's family is composed of lawyers, from her grandfather, who is a Supreme Court Justice, down to her elder brother, who just passed the Bar Examinations the year before. The interesting thing was, ayaw niyang maging lawyer tulad ng mga kamag-anak niya. She wants to be a writer pero pinipilit siya ng mga magulang at lolo niya na maging abogado, na dahilan ng munting away sa pamilya nila. 

Danielle Evans, or Nae, has a half-Filipina, half-American blood. Her parents met in California where her mother's family migrated many years ago. When she was 12 years old, her father died, after which she decided to leave the US at dito na magtapos ng pag-aaral sa Pilipinas. Umuuwi lang siya sa family niya during Christmas and Summer breaks.

Jan, or Jannine Madrid came from a political family in a province around North Luzon. Her grandfather was a Governor, while her titos and titas even her own parents and elder siblings are either mayors, vice-mayors, city councilors or congressmen. She promised herself na hinding-hindi siya papasok sa mundo ng pulitika kahit kailan dahil sa sobrang gulo nito.

Rachel Gonzales, or Raii, is the only child of the President and CEO of Glimpse Corporation, which owns a chain of malls all over the country. She was treated like a princess sa bahay nila, which she never liked, kaya pinilit niya ang ama niyang i-enroll siya sa Goldwest Fields para makalaya siya sa mundong palaging nakabantay sa bawat kilos niya.

"Rii!" Jan called out to Carrie habang naliligo siya. "May package na naman para sa 'yo!"

"Paki-receive na lang. Patapos na 'ko," she replied. 

"Okay!" sabi nito then afterwards was a brief silence. "Thank you po!" narinig niyang sabi ni Jan sa nagdeliver ng package. 

Ilang sandali pa ay lumabas na siya ng banyo.

"Sige na. Maligo ka na. Thank you, ha," sabi niya kay Jan. At naglakad na ito papunta sa shower. 

"What's in it? First day of school pa lang, ah," Raii asked while pointing at the package on the long table. 

"The usual, I'm sure," sabi ni Nae na nagluluto ng breakfast nila sa kusina. 

"Oh, come on, that again?" Ali said habang naghahanda ng pagkakainan nila.

"Your secret admirer never really gets tired of it. Bakit 'di pa siya magpakilala?" sabi naman ni Nikki habang nagsasalin ng malamig na tubig mula sa pitsel.

Tinatawag nilang "secret admirer" ang nagpapadala ng package para kay Carrie. Since first year pa lang ay nakakatanggap na siya ng package at hindi ito pumapalya taon-taon.

Isang clue lang ang mayroon siya sa kung sino ito: ang may-ari ng librong napulot niya habang nagko-community program ang GWFS sa lugar nila dati.

Pangalawang araw na noon ng mga taga-GWFS sa baranggay nila nang may napansin siyang isang maliit na bagay sa buhangin habang naglalakad siya pauwi sa bahay nila mga bandang alas-singko ng hapon. Nilapitan niya ito at isang libro ang nakita niya.

Pinulot niya ito at binasa ang title: 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians - The Lightning Thief'.

Binuksan niya ang libro. Baka may pangalan ito sa loob nang maisauli niya. Ngunit ang nakita lang niya ay ang mga katagang isinulat sa cover page:

Happy 10th birthday, son! From Mama. 

"Baka taga-Goldwest ang may-ari nito. Isasauli ko na lang sa kanila bukas pagbalik nila," sabi niya sa sarili. Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad pauwi. 

Habang nasa bahay ay tinititigan niya ang libro. Binasa niya kasi ang teaser nito sa likod at gusto na tuloy niyang basahin ang nilalaman nito. Mahilig kasi siyang magbasa ng mga tungkol sa Greek and Roman Myths sa maliit na library sa paaralan nila. Gustong-gusto niyang tumambay sa library kasi walang manggugulo sa kanya doon.

"Hindi naman siguro magagalit ang may-ari nito kung babasahin ko. Magpapaalam na lang ako sa kanya bukas," sambit niya sa sarili at tuluyan nang binasa ang libro.

Pinagpuyatan niya ang pagbabasa kaya naman tinanghali siya ng gising. Naligo kaagad siya at nagpaalam sa ina upang pumunta sa covered court kung saan gaganapin ang mga palaro ng mga taga-Goldwest para sa mga bata.

Pagkarating niya ay agad siyang lumapit sa isang teacher at ipinakita ang librong hawak niya. Nakita niyang nagliwanag ang mukha nito at sinabing kilala niya ang may-ari na kahapon pa pala ito hinahanap.

Wala pa doon ang may-ari kaya humingi na lang siya ng isang maliit na papel upang isulat ang mensahe niya para dito. Pagkatapos ay ibinigay niya ito sa guro.

First year siya noon at katatapos lang ng kanilang first quarter examinations nang matanggap niya ang unang package. Isang note ang nakalagay sa ibabaw ng box nito:

'This is my "thank you gift" to you for returning my book. You said on your letter that you liked the story so I thought that maybe you'd like what's inside. Enjoy reading!

(Don't ever think of returning it. It's for you.)

- Mr. X' 

Inside the box was five books: the complete Percy Jackson and the Olympians Series.

Pagkatapos noon ay taon-taon na siyang nakatatanggap ng libro sa series na ito. And today she received the third book from the popular sequel series Heroes Of Olympus.

"The Mark of Athena," said Raii, reading aloud its title. "You really like this Greek and Roman stuff, don't you?"

"The events got really exciting on this installment. You better read it immediately. Mr. X," Ali reading the note accompanying the package. "The same boring note. Here, take it."

She took the note from Ali's hands and put it inside the little box on the top of her study table, which contains all the other notes she had received before.

"Can't he be more romantic when it comes to writing those notes? They're too plain," Jan said aloud from the shower.

"Ano ba kayo? Binibigyan niyo lahat ng malisya. Baka natutuwa lang kasi talaga siya na may katulad siyang fan ng series. 'Yon lang," she said to her friends while putting the new book on her book shelf beside 'The Son of Neptune' book she received last year.

"Okay. Sabi mo eh," Jan said when she got out of the shower.

Natatawa na lang siya sa mga kaibigan niya. Gaya kasi niya ay curious din ang mga ito sa identity ni Mr. X. Baka kasi may hingin daw itong kapalit sa mga ibinibigay nito sa kanya.

Ipinagkikibit-balikat na lang niya ito. Maging siya ay walang ka-ide-ideya sa tunay na intensyon ng misteryosong taong ito.

The dude orc was done with his digging leaving the other behind in the dust, holding the shovel in his hand like a sword. Slamming the shovel down he flung the square of dirt and gravel before slashing around twenty times turning them into smaller cubes.

'Task complete!'

The orc gave a thumbs up at the screen, and turned to look over the ground beneath him as if to examine it. Giving the orc ten more orders he nodded and started walking towards one of the other plots. What had taken 20 hours before was now 15 hours, though I couldn't be sure if that was because of the squares or if it was all due to his evolution. 

'Resources from excavation (One Chest Found): 14 Iron, 25 Upgrades, 50 Repair, 200 Gold, 100 Wood, 1 Spell Scroll, 4 Recipe Scrolls.'

I drank down my glass of tea slowly, staring at these numbers before immediately all my Lame Orcs were now Dude Orcs. The other one already digging was now done excavating, pulverizing the ground with his fists.

'Resources from excavation: 10 Repair, 15 Upgrades, 20 Mana Crystals (Upgradable), 1 Weapon Art.'

Pulling up information on a few of the items I didn't recognize, the weapon art came up first, it was an item that when you rip it in half it teaches you a universal weapon art. If you ripped two, it would become a weapon art of chosen weapon, and ten ripped at the same time would allow you to choose the art learned. Ripping it to find out the strength of these tickets, a 'Feather Shift' handbook appeared in its place.

Reading the first few pages of it I understood what the use was, it made the user temporarily light with mana. It wasn't powerful at all, but the utility of it was amazing, after mastering the technique it specifies you will be as light as a cicada's wing. 

Putting it to the side I grabbed the recipe scrolls, they had the same set up. One for random, two for a specific category, ten to choose your own recipe. "If I rip ten of these tickets can I learn a secret recipe from ancient times?"

'As long as it is in the users capability to create it is available, same with any other ticket. Also the more you rip the more you can specify about the book gained.'

So saving them up until I was stronger is a valid option though one I can not take right now. I ripped all four individually. The four recipes I got were healing balm, torture powder, green house and green grass grower. Healing balm was a basic healing balm that healed over time which was something I had never heard about. Torture powder was a more advanced itching powder that if they scratched it would increase in effectiveness. The one non-alchemical recipe was a building that helped with plant growth. The last was a fertilizer that helped with growing plants.

One of the recipes was something I knew how to make, the green grass grower, according to the system itself I had never registered it so I could receive a duplicate that way. Next was the spell scroll which gave me a spell called, Weapon Manifestation. It simply allowed me to make a weapon that I was familiar with. I tried making a pistol, but sadly I could not create the bullets which made the pistol kind of useless. 

The crystals on the other hand were unique, I could use them to increase the purity of my mana through them making it even easier to create and learn creation magic, but again making it harder to learn death magic. With five of the crystals I could upgrade the crystal to a higher purity one so I upgraded the crystal four times, with three crystals left over.

These crystals weren't something original only to me, but they were fairly expensive, each one costing around fifty gold. They were nicknamed specialization stones since once you had a top grade one it was impossible to learn the opposition school of magic. Your mana just could not be converted into the other type.

The mages came and went already as I was assigning the Orcs to their tasks, a series of notifications coming up as I did so. They were about 20% faster now that they weren't lame. Their interactions gaining a few more words "look bro," "sup bro," and "see bro!" I was curious what they would say once they got a better vocabulary.

Repair, there were three options that I really wanted so I settled for upgrading my mana sensitivity as far as it could go. Mediocre gave way to Superb, which gave way to Excellent, which let me see even more flaws in my circuit. Repairing that I ordered Jade to gather every book on creation magic that she could using my identity token.

Strengthening my body further would take some time, plus I had a teacher that would further guide me from here. Supplying mana to my body I felt rejuvenated so I could do without sleep for a night at least, but what Jade brought back even surprised me. 145 books altogether, and a large golden book that looked to be the size of at least 30 of these books. 

"Did you rob a bookstore Jade?!" I asked as I gawked at the amount of books coming into my room. 

Jade looked just as confused as I did, but shook her head, "I just gave them your token and asked for as many books on creation as I could."

Seeing the token I sighed, I had given her Solomon's token instead of my own it seemed. Since I was already going to get in trouble, I started reading the books one by one starting from beginner magic.

Notifications rang throughout the night:

Minor Tool Creation Learned
Minor Circuit Creation Learned…

In total I learned all the books by the time I came out of the bed, having such a high sensitivity to magic, and having a such a good circuit truly made learning all of this a breeze. Jade was sleeping at the foot of my bed, refusing to go until I went to sleep myself. Sadly the stamina of a 14 year old could not keep her awake for very long.

I had also learned golem creation which was my main goal, these other books were just so the system didn't give me any spells that I had access to. Taking off Jade's bracelet I called a few servants over to return the books to the library, and grab any advanced book on golem creation that they could find.

Since I had a teacher now, I might as well show up as a very valuable pupil so that he'd spend more resources on me. I grinned at the thought though I found that after learning so many spells the creation spells were all utility spells. The most offensive one was golem creation.

I made four golems before getting dressed in training clothes, no longer needing to find clothes I had just conjured them onto my body. One of the atrocious outfits Nikolai loved were turned into my outfit, having been created using mana it was stronger and more elastic than the material I made it from.

"Now for my first lesson." I quickly stretched before heading out the door, little did I know I would come to regret ever leaving my room.

So begins my journey, from death to life and everything in between. I have taken over the body of Nikolai Nightingale, and I will learn the path of a true alchemist with the genetics of monsters and with my by my side. For a true alchemist is never mostly harmless...

Welcome to the castle system!

[Beep! Spiritual force data connection detected, proceed with transmission?]  The A.I. Chip intoned. 

Although Leylin had placed a crystal ball on the transmission port of the  terminal, he was actually mobilizing his A.I. Chip for it instead. 

“Try this first!” Leylin selected a piece of information regarding the  one-horned clan of the Lava World and uploaded it. 

“Serial number ZXC678 has chosen to contribute information. Processing…” A  progress bar suddenly appeared on the terminal screen. 

As the progress bar reached completion, it was replaced with new content. 

“Helix Tree composite image: 89% complete! Initial inventory: 40% complete!  Effectiveness: 51%! Initializing fusion of data… Helix Tree composite image:  91% complete! Your contribution has been evaluated and you will be awarded 26  information points!” 

*Whoosh!* A golden light flashed, and the number 26 appeared in a new row on  Leylin’s library card. 

He drew a sharp breath. ‘It even contains knowledge from such a remote place  as the Lava World, even if it’s flawed…’ 

After a moment of thought, though, he came to a realisation, “The ancient  Magus World was in control of a great number of other worlds. Sky City obtained  a portion of the ancient world’s database, so it’s no strange matter that it  contains some pieces of flawed content!” 

After that one attempt, Leylin had to restrain his excitement. “I’ll be living  here from now, so don’t disturb me unnecessarily,” he instructed Yuro. Soon  after, he left the dumbfounded maid alone and buried his head into the sea of  knowledge. 

…… 

The huge library in Sky City could be said to have everything. Its information  was not limited to that about the central continent; there was data about other  worlds as well. 

Further in from the data terminals and the hall was the gigantic library that  resembled a palace. Some sort of technique had been employed to expand the  space within. At a glimpse, one would see bookshelves as massive as mountains,  all so densely packed and numerous that there seemed to be no end. 

Leylin was now standing at the foot of a bookshelf that was tens of metres  tall. The giant wooden ladder brought him in front of a row of little black  catalogues as per his wish. 

“Mm! Raphael’s Poetic Saga!” Leylin nodded, his eyes glistening. 

“The many ancient myths and legends actually contain a large amount of  intelligence, it’s just that those who recorded these accounts have beautified  and romanticised them. Thus, we have to separate the wheat from the chaff in  order to obtain the most accurate information. Raphael was a famous poet in  ancient times, yet he also had a hidden identity as a Magus. Therefore, all the  accounts that he recorded have high research value…” Leylin muttered to himself  as his eyes glistened. He fingered through the numerous volume numbers of a  series of books and stopped when he reached volume 239. 

When he tried to pull out the book, the robotic voice of the spirit genie rang  in his mind, “Beep! You are requesting to read Raphael’s Poetic Saga, Volume  239. Fee is 2 information points. Do you wish to proceed?” 

“Yes!” With a motion of Leylin’s soul force, 2 information points were  automatically deducted from his library card. The energy that had been  protecting Raphael’s Poetic Saga also disappeared suddenly, allowing Leylin to  remove the book easily from the shelf. 

He clicked his tongue. “Although I know that library books of grade 3 and  above are very expensive, even these mere historical records have such  exorbitant costs…” 

Leylin shook his head. The wooden ladder, as though a living creature,  automatically transported him onto the ground. 

Leylin was now in the fifth storey of the library, which was much quieter than  the previous levels he had been to. There was practically no one there, and  beside the tens of bookshelves, there would always be a small area where Magi  could peruse the books. 

Leylin found a random chair and sat down as he began to flip open the jet  black cover of Raphael’s Poetic Saga. 

“I have come…. I can see…” 

The pages of the book were a dazzling flame-like red. The words, especially,  were like fire sprites, jumping around the pages. 

‘A.I. Chip, record this!’ Leylin commanded inwardly.  [Assignment established, beginning scan! Beep! Raphael’s Poetic Saga, Volume  239 discovered. Supplementing Raphael’s Poetic Saga in the history folder!] The  robotic voice of the A.I. Chip sounded. Seconds later, the entirety of  Raphael’s Poetic Saga had been recorded. 

“I’ve been searching high and low for this portion of Raphael’s Poetic Saga,  and was lacking just these few volumes. Who would have thought that this huge  library would actually contain the full set! Now that it has been supplemented…” 

An expression of satisfaction surfaced across Leylin’s face. As a bonus, he  had discovered the shortcomings of the spirit genie and the data terminal. 

Through data transmission, the spirit genie could only fully engrave low grade  data records into crystals. However, Magi would still have to obtain the  knowledge within them through studying them, unlike the A.I. Chip which was  able to directly transmit information to one’s memory. 

Comparing the time consumed by the two methods, the disparity was rather  frightening. This further proved that the A.I. Chip’s operational and  analytical abilities were far better than that of the spirit genie. 

Moreover, content that was at grade 3 and above were mostly engraved using the  Magus’ own energy. The materials the books were made of were also very special.  The spirit genie was unable to duplicate such information, and thus Magi had to  come down personally to study the content from the physical book itself. 

“Even so, this huge library is still rather overwhelming!” As compared to his  previous database, the amount of information in the entire library was  seemingly like a vast ocean—boundless. It was incomparably enriching. Leylin  felt like a person who was nearly dying from thirst being thrown into a  freshwater lake all of a sudden. He absorbed all the content as though his life  depended on it, and never stepped a foot out of the place. 

The same went for the A.I. Chip. As its database grew with even more detailed  and complex subjects, its technical ability was supplemented unceasingly. 

The copious amount of information in here formed a foundation for all  disciplines of magic scholarship. 

Leylin had a premonition that the numerous resources he had amassed this time  would result in a relatively drastic upgrade for the A.I. Chip. After this  upgrade, he would definitely reap harvests that he would not have even dreamed  of before!  [Beep! Supplementation of foundational information complete. Refreshing and  restarting system, estimated time: 2 hours, 34 minutes and 13 seconds!] The  A.I. Chip prompted, startling Leylin. 

“It actually grew to such an extent? What surprises will be the renewed  database bring me?” This was a happy occasion, and Leylin’s face almost lit up  with delight. 

“Indeed, I made the right choice to come to Sky City. Even if not for the  Endowing Scepter, I just had to make this trip.” 

Although there was loads of information in the huge library, Leylin felt that  content that was grade 3 and below were the most important. This was because he  possessed a near unlimited amount of magic crystals, and coupled with the data  terminal the convenience of information transmission was unparalleled. In just  a short span of time, the foundational information that could be duplicated by  the spirit genie had all been backed up into the A.I. Chip. 

As for more advanced content that was above grade 3, Leylin had tossed out all  his information to the spirit genie—as long as it was eligible for conversion  and would not attract any trouble, of course. This allowed him to exchange his  data for a monumental amount of information points. He then specifically  searched for topics that Warlocks and the A.I. Chip lacked information on  before commanding the A.I. Chip to scan and record it. 

With the A.I. Chip, a large amount of academic content could be derived from  just the foundational information alone. No matter how high the grade, the  content could still be deduced. 

After all, now that he already had a great foundation, all that was left was  to perform derivations that would consume copious amounts of operational energy. 

Leylin used his information points to directly access the content that the  A.I. Chip did not have the ability to derive, thus completing his database. 

In this manner, within the short span of a month or so, he had already  recorded roughly all of the content in the huge library. 

One must know that even Radiant Moons, Breaking Dawns and other Magi or  scholars who grew up in Sky City wouldn’t be able to remember so much. The  excessive accumulated information would have conflicting information, causing  the Magus to forget some things. They would have to constantly refresh their  memory. 

With their standards, being able to remember all the grade 1 and 2 information  would mean that one was an absolute genius. Leylin, however, had exceeded them  by leaps and bounds. He’d accumulated a lifetime of information! 

If others knew about his terrifying rate of progress, Leylin would definitely  attract a lot of trouble. Thus, he could only be secretly satisfied with  himself, not revealing anything. 

“When the A.I. Chip is done refreshing, I’m afraid that I will be worthy of  being called the most learned person throughout the entire central continent,  and will be knowledgeable about even the research done in other worlds…” 

Leylin had now thoroughly understood the meaning of the phrase “knowledge is  power!” 

While his further studies did not increase his strength by a single bit, the  underlying effect on his foundation was truly terrifying. 

“This is just right! The information points are mostly spent, so I might as  well use up all of the remaining ones as well! 

Leylin fished out his library card, the thin lines of golden numbers immensely  glaring. They couldn’t be compared to the single long line of numbers on his  card previously. The astronomical number of information points had only lasted  him a month or so. 

*Crash!* Opposite Leylin’s desk, a female Magus raised her head and peered  over her book curiously, gazing at Leylin’s back. A pair of spectacles with  thick lenses was perched on the bridge of her nose, and her hair was tied in  two braids. 

She had been paying attention to this strange Magus in front of her for a long  time now. 

He didn’t seem to lack information points, which could be seen from how he  often referred to thick stacks of resources. Even if she worked all day and  night for a month without rest, she wouldn’t be able to earn the amount of  information points required for such information. 

After selecting his resources, he didn’t read the information carefully, but  instead flipped through it briefly before casually casting it aside. This made  her heart ache. 

Library resources that were grade 3 and above were only for private browsing  in the reading room. They couldn’t be brought out of the library or exchanged  with others. Under the supervision of the spirit genie, there were no loopholes. 

Thus, this female Magus could only drool with envy at the mountains of  resources Leylin had acquired with his information points, and couldn’t do a  single thing about it. 

Without the scanning abilities of the A.I. Chip, Leylin could only depend on  reading the resources himself to obtain knowledge. Thus, he chose a book on how  to optimise one’s vitality, and laid back in his chair as he slowly started to  read. 

The eternal light spell was adjusted by the spirit genie, gently tuning the  light rays for a better reading experience. Time ticked by along with the  rustling sound of the pages turning. 

‘This odd Magus is finally acting normal!’ The female Magus secretly nodded,  then continued to immerse herself in her books. Time was precious, and she  could not afford to waste any of it. 



Leylin is transported from an advanced technological era into a medieval world— except there’s magic. Equipped with only his quick wits and an A.I. chip fused to his soul, he sets out to become the most powerful magus the world has ever known. In a land divided into the Light and Dark Magi, the weak can either be cattle or disposable slaves. Only the strong can determine their lives, and only they have the luxury for virtue. Yet strength is only a tool for Leylin, like any other. His goal, in the end, is his own.

Translator’s desc:
What happens when a scientist from a futuristic world reincarnates in a World of Magic and Knights?

An awesome MC — that’s what happens!

A scientist’s goal is to explore the secrets of the universe, and this is exactly what Leylin sets out to do when he is reincarnated. Dark, cold and calculating, he makes use of all his resources as he sets off on his adventures to meet his goal.

Face? Who needs that… Hmmm… that guy seems too powerful for me to take on now… I better keep a low profile for now.

You want me to help you? Sure… but what benefit can I get out of it? Nothing? Bye. 

Hmmm… that guy looks like he might cause me problems in the future. Should I let him off for now and let him grow into someone that can threaten me….. Nahhh. *kill*

Luo Yunyang's high IQ got to work. He immediately understood what Chief Instructor Lu meant.
Luo Yunyang would actually be just a supporting member of the team. To put it bluntly, he would be helping the main force members replenish their strength when they ran out.
This meant that Luo Yunyang would actually be the equivalent of a battery.
"You won't lose out either, kid. From now on, you will be a state scholar. As long as you are able to hit the targets, you will become a hero of the 13 Eastern Cities."
Chief Instructor Lu patted Luo Yunyang on the shoulder. "You have to take me out to dinner, Mr. State Scholar!"
Luo Yunyang thought that what Chief Instructor Lu had said was very reasonable, so he didn't understand why he felt unhappy when he heard it.
"Oh, I forgot. This is a set of body techniques you can learn to improve your survival skills. You have it really good, kid. If this set of techniques belonged to anyone else, it would have cost at least one billion dayuan."
As he spoke, a USB drive appeared in Chief Instructor Lu's hands.
It really was a USB drive. Luo Yunyang had expected a manual like the "Youthful Emperor's Secret Art Of Longevity", but it had actually turned out to be a USB drive.
Chief Instructor Lu really enjoyed the stunned look on Luo Yunyang's face. He chuckled as he explained, "This is the Martial God's Ninth-Heaven Dragon-Moving Steps. Not only is it quick, but you can also use it to evade attacks. Although you will be protected during this exchange, you should remember that true strength means being strong yourself!"
When Luo Yunyang heard that these were Martial God Luo Kai's body techniques, he took the USB drive unceremoniously and faced Chief Instructor Lu. "Sir, will anyone else from the Rising Dragon Army be taking part in this exchange?"
"Ha ha ha! We are not just talking about the Rising Dragon Army. Mr. State Scholar will be the only one taking part on behalf of all the Eight Armies of the East."
Chief Instructor Lu looked reverent as he said, "The others are all geniuses that have been groomed since a very young age. They are the true elites of the 13 Eastern Cities!"
Groomed since a very young age? True elites? These words made Luo Yunyang quickly realize what exactly was going on.
Luo Yunyang and the other martialists that made up the Rising Dragon Army's elite class were the best martalists selected among ordinary people. On the other hand, the people that Chief Instructor Lu was talking about had received specialized training ever since they had been born.
As a result, they were even more extraordinary!
———
Sunlight shone on Luo Yunyang through the tiny window of the plane, making him feel drowsy.
This environment was so comfortable that it was perfect for sleeping.
Luo Yunyang was currently resting comfortably in the plane's first-class cabin as he travelled to the venue of the exchange. This time, the event would be held at an ancient city at one of humanity's 37 strongholds.
"Taking a plane is actually quite boring. I heard that before the apocalypse, first-class cabins had even had network signal. Now, there's absolutely nothing to do."
A young girl with a sweet face glanced at Luo Yunyang with her gentle eyes and smiled faintly. "If you have nothing to do, I have some books here that you could read. It would help time go by faster."
Like Luo Yunyang, Ling Yubing was also a powerhouse of the young generation that would be representing the 13 Eastern Cities at this competition. According to her, she came from the Thoughtless Research Center.
That's right. The Research Center wasn't called Formless, but Thoughtless.
After listening to Ling Yubing's conversations with others, Luo Yunyang had found out that she was a third-grade telekinesis master.
Luo Yunyang felt a little ecstatic when he heard this. After all, his own mind power wasn't shabby either. He just wanted to find a telekinesis master to exchange some pointers with.
Many people believed that telekinesis masters were extremely arrogant, but after interacting with Ling Yubing, Luo Yunyang realized that she wasn't.
She actually treated him quite well. She didn't seem to have a bad temper or a big ego, and she had even voluntarily helped him out with many things.
A girl like her, who was both beautiful and capable, with a status no inferior than his own, who spoke and acted in a lovable manner that eased people's hearts, was extremely hard to come by.
If Luo Yunyang received this sort of treatment, he would naturally have to pay a price for it.
For example, he would give her an extra punch or two during the competition, which was exactly what she needed.
"Thank you, Miss Ling. I shall take a look then." Although Luo Yunyang didn't really want to read a book, he still accepted Ling Yubing's act of goodwill.
When she handed him the book, he was dumbfounded. He had expected that, as a telekinesis master, Ling Yubing would be reading books that would help increase her telekinetic abilities. He hadn't expected to be handed a series of books called "10,000 Reasons".
"10,000 Reasons"?
Ling Yubing blinked at Luo Yunyang with her big beautiful eyes as she smiled. "Cultivating is really straining on the mind, so I like reading this kind of books in my free time."
Luo Yunyang felt like tears were about to start rolling down his cheeks. He really didn't know what to say, so he just flipped through the book.
"Sir, the gentleman over there sends these drinks!" a lovely flight attendant in a red uniform said politely as she handed Luo Yunyang a cup.
Thanks to his current mind power, Luo Yunyang could sense the thick energy contained in the drink.
When he looked in the direction the flight attendant was pointing at, he saw a chubby man nodding at him.
"Fat Xue is normally really miserly. He has never treated me to a sip of X-3 health beverage, yet now he's fawning over you like this. I'm sure he doesn't have any good intentions."
Ling Yubing glanced at the fat man with a groan. "Do you think a person like him could ever get a girlfriend?"
Luo Yunyang didn't know how to respond, so he just chuckled and accepted the drink. As soon as he drank a mouthful, a comfortable feeling washed through his body.
Ling Yubing didn't seem envious that he was having a supplement that boosted one's constitution.
When Luo Yunyang smiled at Fat Xue, the man smiled back in satisfaction.
Although Fat Xue was rather polite to him, Luo Yunyang didn't dare act carelessly. This fella had introduced himself as someone who had awakened a grade-one wind system source core after all.
Plus, before they had boarded the plane, he had told Luo Yunyang on the sly that he had awakened a Divine Bloodline and was destined to become successful, so Luo Yunyang should look for him if he ever had a problem.
Luo Yunyang had just finished his beverage, when the beautiful flight attendant walked over again. This time, she was holding several bright red dates in her hands.
"Fire Dates!" Ling Yubing's eyes seemed to glow.
"This sample is from the gentleman over there, Mr. Luo. He says that he didn't bring along enough of them on this trip, but he will give you one kilo when we return!" the flight attendant told Luo Yunyang respectfully.
The girl, who was an attendant on the few aircrafts that could fly between the Eastern and Western regions of the Da Alliance, was not the least bit ignorant. She could actually be considered quite experienced and knowledgeable.
Although she had already been briefed on Luo Yunyang's and the other passengers' statuses, she had expected that these geniuses wouldn't be able to see eye to eye. It was completely unexpected that she had come across someone like Luo Yunyang.
It seemed as if everybody was really friendly to him.
The girl took a closer look at him. He was wearing ordinary clothes, and his face was clean. Although he was smiling, he was not speaking much. However, his face was still really pleasing to the eye.
Could he be a legendary king that could make everyone around him pledge their allegiance to him with just a brush of his hand?
Luo Yunyang flashed a smile at the young man on his left to show his gratitude. When the young man saw Luo Yunyang smiling at him, his stiff face immediately blossomed into a smile.


Violet skies, a world undergoing massive changes, a deficient moon, interlinking voids...
When the world experienced a cataclysmic event,the majority of living things died right away. Although humanity survived by hiding in the last safe zones, humans had to face mutated dire beasts and colossal source beasts that could break through the space barrier and enter the earth at any second.
Luo Yunyang, a young man who grew up in those calamitous times, obtained an attribute regulator and set out to walk the path of supremacy!

Chapter 5: Cultivation Trial

"What's taking him so long?" Around the time when Ai Zhen was already dreaming about his Stamina soaring into millions at the second floor of the library, a woman with an alluring face cannot help but express her feeling of being irate. "Boss, we've already waited here for almost seven hours. We've already wasted time and EXPs!" The woman whined towards a young man with a buzzed cut hair.

The two were outside the gate of the Hidden Leaf Academy waiting for someone to come out and that someone was the young man, Ai Zhen.

As the buzzed cut hair young man thought of what the woman have said. He realized that he was not being sensible of what he was doing as of the moment. "You're right, we should do some quests which can get us a permit to enter the campus."

After for almost four hours of doing a series of quests, they were able to get a permit which was a bit more special because they can access the second floor for a day. With this, they would be able to meet the young man, but when they arrived inside the library, the young man that they were looking for was having peaceful nap as it can be seen in his serene smiling face.

"Why don't we just read some books, boss?" The alluring woman suggested as he could not let herself disturb the young man when he was sleeping with an adorable face. "And if he's still asleep when we're done, that's the time that we'll wake him.

"Yes, it should take us an hour more or less to almost to deplete our SP. That'll give him some time to rest." The buzzed cut man agreed. Thus, the two made their way into the bookshelves.

+++++++++

While the alluring woman and the buzzed cut man got absorbed and caught up with reading books to the point that they were not able to check the sleeping young man from time to time anymore because as they have found out, in every 10 to 15 books that they read, they were able to get +1 or +2 Intelligence. Within this time, a young boy who was holding a pile of books accidentally knock the desk where Ai Zhen's head was resting.

The books clattered and this ruckus woke Ai Zhen up. The young boy was hastily grabbing the books that were sprawled out on the floor. As he picked up the last, he saw a big hand was reaching for it. This made him stop and look at the figure with long disgruntled yet soft silky black hair.

"Advanced Cultivation. X Edition." Ai Zhen read the title of the book. "Not bad for someone who is so young." He praised as he looked at the young boy.

"G-gr-grandmaster..!" The young boy was startled for knowing that he disturbed a legendary figure. "I-I'm sorry for disturbing you." He hastily dropped the books and made a fist bow in order to show respect.

Ai Zhen picked up the books that the young boy dropped just to show respect to him even though he thought that he didn't deserve this kind of attention. "It's okay." Ai Zhen smiled as he gave some of the books that he picked up to the young boy.

"What's your name?" Ai Zhen asked.

"M-my name is Light, Grandmaster. It was the name that was written on my cloth when I was abandoned as an infant." The young boy replied truthfully.

Grade 3 Student: Light [NPC]
Description: A genius of Hidden Leaf Town. He was an orphan who was able to get a scholarship to live and study in the Hidden Leaf Academy. With his keen perception, he was able to pass each grade for a year when it was normally two years is needed in order to pass each grade. Being an orphan and a genius, he is quite different to other students, that's why he is often bullied by other students.
Skill: Perception [Passive] (SS+)

"O-hohh..! So you are the rumored genius of this town." Ai Zhen was trying to look surprised as he praised the young boy in order to warm him up.

"I dare not accept that title, Grandmaster. I can only accept that once I prove myself by passing the Cultivation Trial once I graduated this academy." The young boy, Light humbly refused Ai Zhen's praise.

"Oh? What is this Cultivation Trial that you are talking about?" Ai Zhen inquired.

The young boy, Light was greatly surprised with what he heard from the legendary Grandmaster that was in front of him.

"Don't tell me you haven't taken the Cultivation Trial ever since?" With Light's keen perception he was able to deduce that Ai Zhen haven't taken the trial yet on his lifetime. "Ah pardon my ignorance Grandmaster, the Cultivation Trial is where you can take your aptitude test whether you are talented enough to cultivate Body, Spirit or Soul Art. When your talent can cultivate any two of the three kinds of Cultivation Art, you will be eligible to take the aptitude test for dual cultivation, and when you passed, your name will be known throughout the kingdom and gain a title Genius [Legendary].

"Hmmm..." Ai Zhen digested this information thoroughly because of the topic about dual cultivation. In his previous world, dual cultivation exists, but achieving this just like surpassing heavens — impossible. But what made him the greatest figure back then was because he was able to do the impossible, triple cultivation. That's why he couldn't help but ask. "What about having a talent of cultivating any kind of cultivation art?"

"You mean if a person has a talent on cultivating whether if it is a Body Art, Spirit Art or Soul Art?" Light clarified the question and immediately answered as his eyes started to sparkle. "That person would be qualified to take the test of trinity cultivation and if he passed the test, his or her name will be known throughout the 33 islands and gain a title, The Prodigy [Mythic] that even Mortal Gods would be envious of.

"Has there been anyone who was eligible to take the test ever since?" Ai Zhen couldn't help but asked this question.

"Yes, there was. It was around 3,000 years ago. Two Mythical human beings were known at that time. It is said that one was an Immortal Cultivator just like you and the other was a Heavenly Cultivator just like us. The Heavenly Cultivator couldn't accept the fact that there was someone equal to him that's why a millennium year of war happened which caused a massive change in this world." Light answered the question with a summarized story together with childish hand gestures.

"Hehh.." Ai Zhen was amused with the young boy's actions in front of him, however, he was also excited and felt challenged. "Where does this Cultivation Trial being held?"

"The Cultivation Trial is just upstairs. Immortal Cultivators like you, Grandmaster can take the trial anytime but it can only be taken once. And one must have not cultivated yet or one must have to erase his or her cultivation in order to be eligible. Also, for you, Immortal Cultivators, they say that you must be Level 12 and up." When Light answered the question, he also realized that the Grandmaster in front of him has not started cultivating which deeply confused him as to how did he became a Grandmaster. As he realized this, his eyes sparkled to the point that it was about to shine as he exclaimed. "Grandmaster, you are very eligible to take the trinity cultivation. I have no doubt about it!"

"Haha." Ai Zhen ruffled Light's hair and only chuckled at his high praise of him that caused a slight disturbance to the people that were near them. "Why don't you lead me there if it's possible?"

"It would be my honor!" Light answered with great enthusiasm as he led Ai Zhen upstairs.

+++++++++

The alluring woman and the buzzed cut man was finally done with reading books. When they got back to check Ai Zhen. Their smiles that they achieved from gaining a more or less +20 Intelligence just disappeared when they saw where Ai Zhen was previously sitting was now been occupied by another person.

"Excuse me, have you seen the person who was sitting here previously?" The buzzed cut man asked the NPC student who replaced Ai Zhen in his place.

"Uhh yes..I think they went upstairs." The NPC student replied with no motivation.

"They?" The buzzed cut man was puzzled. "Who's with him?"

"Ohh...it's just that loser kid." The NPC student replied as his head was resting on his palm.

The two of them have no idea what the NPC was talking that's why they just thanked him and head upstairs.

+++++++++

Light explained more about the Cultivation Trial to Ai Zhen as they ascended the stairs to third floor. What he learned from Light was that the Cultivation Trial is the way to measure your compatibility with the three different paths of cultivation. Aside from that, he also learned that the trial is separated into five — Earth, Sea, Sky, Genius and Prodigy.

The Earth Mode is where your compatibility with Physique Arts will be measured. The rank of the cultivation art that will be given from the trial will depend on the result that one have achieved. This rule was also been followed by the Sea and Sky Mode which are respectively for Spirit and Soul Arts.

In the three empires, the Soul Art was designed to be set in the Sky Mode because out of the three kinds of arts that can be cultivated, it is the hardest and most dangerous path to traverse. Even the Moon Empire which was known for the number one in terms of Soul Arts does not dare to acclaim that this kind of art is easy for this nation to cultivate.

There are two hidden trials which certain qualifications needed to be met.

For the Genius Mode, one will be eligible to challenge this trial if one can get a Gold Grade and above result from two different paths of cultivation trial. When one was able to pass this trial, one would be eligible to follow the path of dual cultivation, and a [Genius] title would be acquired. The higher the rank that the challenger attains, the higher the benefits that will be given to the user.

Lastly, The Heavenly or Immortal Mode. It is divided into two because Heavenly Mode can only be taken by the NPCs while Immortal mode can be taken by the players. This is the hardest and the most dangerous trial out of the five because first, the only way to pass this test is to get a Diamond Grade in all of the three different cultivation paths. When one was able to accomplish all of this, a [Prodigy] title will be rewarded. It is a title which holds the inheritance of the Immortal figure that walked a different path from all existence. 

The grading system of the Cultivation Trial is as follows: Bronze, Silver, Gold and Diamond. Each of this grades are divided into I, II and III.

Ai Zhen would always set for the highest goals that the System would offer. In fact he would even want to exceed the System's expectation or if it's possible, outwit it. That's why, as they ascend towards the Trial Platform at the third floor, he would aim for the [Prodigy] title.

+++++++++

The Trial Platform was a wonderful sight to see. It was like a temple with sacred feeling. Four pillars with intricate carvings of magic arrays were erected at the corners. In the center, an octagram star with a bagua in the center-most was also carved on the floor. The eight angles of the octagram star serves as the eight available slot for players to individually challenge the trial.

When Ai Zhen arrived in this place, he was lucky to find that there was an available slot for the trial. He hurriedly asked for a permission to the patrolling guard to take the slot and sat down on it as his consciousness drifted into another place.

+++++++++

<Welcome to the Temple of Dao. There are three cultivation trial to choose: Earth Mode, Sea Mode and Sky Mode. You only have one chance to choose your path of cultivation. Whether you are qualified to what you have chosen or not, it will all be decided by your performance, so choose wisely.>

An angelic voice that can hardly be tell whether it was coming from a man or a woman sounded ethereally when Ai Zhen saw a pyramid-like tower with sets of stairs from each sides that leads to the top where a vacant imperial throne was placed and a sun hanging on the vast empty space, at the distance. He was mystified with what he was looking and almost forgot what he came here for.

"What a wonderful and majestic place to be in!" Ai Zhen have been to countless places back when he was still a legendary Immortal cultivator but this place still able to surprise him that it took moments for him to snap out from his reverie.

"This place is really suitable for attaining enlightenments!" He exclaimed as he can feel the Daos of the Heaven were graspable by his own hands. And to think that these Daos are really real and not just something that was made up by this "game".

He wouldn't be able to stop praising this place if the angelic voice hadn't sounded again.

Ai Zhen could only helplessly chuckle for being such a kid about it. "I choose Earth Mode." He chose this mode first in order to test the water.

The feeling that this game gave to him would always end up making him question whether if this is really just a game as if there's more to it. But Ai Zhen, as usual, can't make sense out of it. 'Might as well leave it to fate.' He thought.

<Confirmed. Please step in through the gate.>

Curiosity got the best out of the modern Earth when a first ever online semi-reality online role playing game was mysteriously broadcast on a New Year's Eve countdown.

Through the game, people gained knowledge towards dao cultivation which gave massive benefits such as immortal or magical power, that slowly and ultimately change the modern Earth.

Blinded by the greed, people continued to play the so-called game even though as they later found out that they were playing with their lives the whole time for their souls are the ones that are crossing over to this so called game.

What was the purpose of the game?

Oddly yet cliched, a reincarnated legendary cultivator from an Immortal World will slowly unravel the secrets and the horrors of the game.

For a split second, Gu Zuo grimaced from the pain in his heart.
Gongyi Tianheng's smile deepened: "Since Ah Zuo's feeling so distressed on my behalf, I'm sure you'll earn lots of money for me someday." 
Gu Zuo thought deeply: "Big brother, I will certainly give it my best!"
More pill refining! More medicine refinement!

It really was whenever one needed money that there always was never enough…
After the two discussed this matter of making money, what they first needed to do was go to the Pill Fundamentals Association. 
Bringing Dragon One and Dragon Two, a group of people quickly left the sect.
 
 
The location of the Pill Fundamentals Association was Qingyun City. Just from hearing this name, one would realize it was a city that was near the Qingyun Sect. Many industries within the city were inextricably linked to the Qingyun Sect. Even if they were foreigners who genuinely wanted to purchase those industries, they couldn't ignore this huge monster. Otherwise, they'd certainly be unable to develop smoothly.
Within Qingyun City, the position of Qingyun Sect disciple, even outer sect or nominal disciple, would automatically be different when compared to common martial artists.
When Tianheng and the others walked down the streets while wearing their sect uniforms, they received the attention of several people. The merchants of some stores were similarly courteous to them.
 
 
Gu Zuo thought to himself in his mind: This could be considered as the fox exploiting the tiger's might…
If you're reading this, this translation is stolen. Please support our translators at chrysanthemumgarden.com
Under Tianheng's lead, it didn't take long for the group to arrive before a chamber of commerce.
This time's Pill Fundamentals Association was held at the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce, which was a medium sized chamber affiliated with the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce. And just by looking its name, one knew that the Qingyun Chamber of Commerce belonged to the Qingyun Sect.
The floor area of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce wasn't small. Sheltered by the numerous surrounding stone enclosures, one could catch sight of the expansive venue after entering. Encircling this venue was close to one thousand densely-packed seats. 
The venue was like a chessboard, and was divided into a lattice. In each square was a large pill cauldron.
With one look, Gu Zuo discovered that the qualities of these cauldrons weren't inferior to the ones his big brother gifted him. Yet, these were merely the standard pill cauldrons the chamber of commerce provided. If it were the personally customized pill cauldrons of the Qingyun Continent's pharmacists, then what levels would they be at?
But no matter what, just based on this, one could see that the techniques of the Qingyun Continent's pharmacists certainly weren't lacking.
Tianheng held a voucher in his hand. According to the numbers on its surface, he brought Gu Zuo and the others to take their seats in the front and off to the side. Here they could clearly see the pharmacists on the venue. It could even be said that the view was great. 
Gu Zuo was a bit nervous.
He came to broaden his horizons, but it was only after going to this Pill Fundamentals Association that he truly understood the quality of his own foundations and the things the system gave him.
We're sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we're going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Before that, however, he didn't forget to sigh in lament: "One seat is twenty thousand, so one thousand seats are twenty million… The Fengyun Chamber of Commerce conducting a single Pill Fundamentals Association is truly too lucrative."

Story translated by Chrysanthemum Garden.
At this time, people were continuously entering the seating area. Then, the Pill Fundamentals Association officially began. 
The so-called Pill Fundamentals Association was actually a crowd of pill refining masters comparing notes and exchanging information. After this, they would demonstrate the refining of several kinds of pills for the paid audience.
If one wanted to be a pharmacist, one needed to have medicinal beads. As for the countless techniques for medicine refinement, a person definitely wouldn't be able to learn them after watching once — One needed to supplement this with all kinds of mnemonic chants to have a hope of learning them.
As a result, even though they were on the sidelines, at most, the spectators could only gain some realizations from within. If they wanted to suddenly learn those pill refining masters' secrets, it was something that would never happen.
At the same time, the pharmacists were invited on stage by the attendants of the Fengyun Chamber of Commerce. Naturally, they also paid some price — The pharmacists capable of being invited were mostly mid grade pharmacists. In order for them to take one step further, they had to consume a lot of resources. Sometimes, they had no choice but to earn some extra income, too. 
— In the venue, there was a group of scarlet robed pharmacists who walked over from one side.
After they came to those pill cauldrons, they sat down cross-legged one after another.

A beautiful woman appeared beside the venue. Her bright eyes narrowed perfectly and her timely smile was sweet. She was an outstanding young lady. Right now, her role was actually the host of this Pill Fundamentals Association. Following the association's process, she would give some commentary for the numerous guests who came to watch.
At this time, the woman first introduced herself according to the usual practice: "I, Miss Cheng Wanyao, will be hosting this assembly today for everyone here. As everyone knows, we pharmacists can be divided into many ranks according to our different strengths. The weakest are uncertified, but the certified are divided into low, mid, and high grade pharmacists…" 
The words she said now were indeed general knowledge.
"But these so-called three grades of certified pharmacists should in fact be combined into what is collectively known as human-level pharmacists. So the medicinal pills refined are thus divided into low, mid, high, and top grades…"
When Gu Zuo heard this, his heart jolted.
He couldn't help transmitting to Tianheng: Big brother, this place also has four grades, just like you said. 
Tianheng faintly smiled: It's a coincidence.

It was only because the medicinal pills his little pharmacist refined were roughly between mid, high, and top grades that he differentiated them from the shoddier medicinal pills refined by common pharmacists.
But at the present time, they mysteriously and inexorably fit together.
Cheng Wanyao continued to show her knowledge base: "Human-level pharmacists are already capable of providing the necessary medicinal pills for martial artists at the Immortal realm and below. These kinds of medicinal pills are also collectively known as human-level medicinal pills. But if a martial artist advances to the Atomic realm, human-level medicinal pills become useless to them. What they require are golden-level medicinal pills. And to successfully refine golden-level medicinal pills, one needs a golden-level pharmacist." 
At this moment, Tianheng and Gu Zuo both recalled that among the relevant item books given to Gu Zuo by the system, besides the medicine refinement hand seals, almost all of them had "Human-Level" written on the covers. Wasn't this proof that after Gu Zuo's strength continued to rise according to its requirements, a new mission would be issued where he'd have the opportunity to obtain a medicinal pill prescription at the golden-level or higher?
They just didn't know how vast an inheritance the system possessed.
Gu Zuo's heart was still very resolute.
The system first said it would make him into the most outstanding pharmacist. After that, he could rely on his own power to return to his original world. However, he'd seen Immortal realm martial artists. They obviously didn't have the ability to traverse worlds. This proved that if he wanted to return, the heights he needed to reach were even greater. He basically finished reading all the content within those human-level item book series, and he similarly never found any clues. 
In that case, something definitely existed above human-level.
Although he didn't know whether golden-level was the end point… He'd just have to wait until his medicine refining standards reached golden-level.
Gu Zuo couldn't share these words with Gongyi Tianheng.
Even though he now regarded Tianheng as his adoptive big brother, it was still out of the question. 
An assortment of thoughts came and went. And on the venue, those scarlet robed pharmacists had already started lighting the fires under their cauldrons to warm them up.
Cheng Wanyao's introduction carried a hint of excitement: "This time, our Fengyun Chamber of Commerce has especially invited three mid grade pharmacists and ten low grade pharmacists from the Pill Fire Society to demonstrate the methods of pill refinement for our guests. From this moment on, I ask everyone not to make any noise to avoid causing a disturbance…"
Gu Zuo focused his full attention on the methods of those pharmacists.

He saw that the three closest pharmacists were already setting about their tasks. 
Their bodies were slowly overflowing with red-hot qi energy, which formed a thin layer of red mist around them. Their hands and fingers intertwined, neither quickly nor slowly, as they started some fantastic hand seals.
The fires beneath the pill cauldrons were stoked more and more. Those cauldrons also produced low keening sounds before the cauldron lids suddenly began rattling. The three pharmacists reached out their hands, grabbed a stalk of medicinal herbs, and directly threw them into their pill cauldrons!
After only hearing some sizzling sounds, the stalks of medicinal herbs were already melting under the high temperatures. They turned into light green droplets and adhered to the walls of the cauldrons.
Immediately after that, the second and third stalks were also cast inside, and were similarly liquified. Then, several kinds of medicinal herbs that appeared rather strange were sequentially thrown inside. In addition, some were ground into power before being cast into the pill cauldron. 
In the blink of an eye, the flame beneath the pill cauldron flared, engulfing nearly the entire cauldron.
Those pharmacists' fingers shuttled back and forth like the wind. Several swipes later, each and every hand seal used were all imprinted upon the medicinal herbs within that pill cauldron.

Those droplets of liquid gradually started to blend…
Gu Zuo let out a long sigh. 
Without a doubt, what these pharmacists used were all pill refining techniques.
Yet, compared to his own, those hand seals were indeed unfamiliar and much more simple and crude. Not to mention his Minor Seal: Plucking Nine Stars, those hand seals were even inferior to those unorthodox pill refining hand seals.
But these were still pill refining techniques.
After about half an hour passed, the three mid grade pharmacists activated their pill receiving seals at the same time. The white qi above the pill cauldrons flared up. After more than a dozen buzzing sounds echoed from within, numerous medicinal pills catapulted out! 
Like numerous marbles, they clattered into the jade bowls held in the pharmacists' hands.

The three mid grade pharmacists reservedly raised their heads, indicating they were done.
When the spectating guests saw this, they couldn't help generating a clamor.
As expected, those pill refining methods were extremely miraculous! 
All of those methods were truly too profound!
Those shouting were salivating at the mouths. They were thoroughly envious…
Cheng Wanyao saw the pill refining was successful, and a happy smile appeared on her elegant face. She hastily gave instructions to another party on the side: "Send them out quickly."
Thus, three graceful girls walked out, and cautiously and prudently took the jade bowls from the three pharmacists. In front of everyone, they let them all have a look. 
Once Cheng Wanyao saw it, she said with a smile: "They are worthy of being mid grade pharmacists. Each of them refined nine Qi Generating Pills, reaching a perfect nine out of nine. In sequential order, their grades are:
"One low grade pill, six mid grade pills, and two high grade pills…"
"One low grade pill, five mid grade pills, and three high grade pills…"
"One low grade pill, five mid grade pills, and three high grade pills…" 

Gu Zuo: Are you sick?
Gongyi Tianheng: You have medicine?
Gu Zuo: You’re sick!
Gongyi Tianheng: If I say I’m sick, can you cure me?
Gu Zuo: If I say I have medicine, would you want it?
Gongyi Tianheng: However much you have is how much I want.
Gu Zuo: However much you want is how much I have.
Gongyi Tianheng: Then bring it all out.
Gu Zuo: …

Simply speaking, a scaredy-cat shou transmigrated and had to think of a way to survive. He had a golden finger called Medicine Refining System, but unfortunately, he didn’t have the ingredients needed to refine medicine and level up.
A great young master to an empire’s preeminent clan had a super high IQ, but his potential for cultivation was low. Unfortunately, pill refiners were too hard to develop, and weren’t restricted to his personal service. But he could acquire plenty of ingredients.
Two people, one was sick and one had medicine. Therefore, the one who was sick kept the one who had medicine, and everyone was happy.

Kidnapped and sent to another world, he finds himself right in his element.

"You think I don't know how all of this works? Please."

Armed with the knowledge he has gained from reading various web novels and his 'unique' way of thinking, he will shake the heavens. 

"No matter how many worlds I have to go through, I will return to my home!"

All so he can get his mother's groceries...

In the morning, Ren Xiaosu was doing some reading in the library. Meanwhile, An Yuqian was snoring loudly as he slept in his chair at the entrance.
When the sun shone onto An Yuqian's face from the outside, he would even cover his face with a book to shield himself from the light.
Every morning, when Ren Xiaosu arrived, he would automatically give ten yuan to An Yuqian. Moreover, there was no need for Ren Xiaosu to keep calling An Yuqian anymore as he would be waiting at the door every day at 8.30 AM sharp while yawning.
Gradually, An Yuqian found it extremely uncomfortable that he had to always sleep like that. He used to always play mahjong throughout the night before heading home to sleep well during the morning. But since Ren Xiaosu started coming to the library, he could only sleep while sitting in his chair at the library.
How could sleeping in a chair be more comfortable than sleeping in a bed?
As no one else was using the library, An Yuqian purposely observed what Ren Xiaosu was reading. However, he died laughing when he saw that Ren Xiaosu was actually reading the tenth grade textbooks for math, physics, and chemistry!
Ren Xiaosu's persistence in coming to the library for so many days finally made An Yuqian change his opinion of him. He had thought that for once, a studious kid had finally come to the library. But to his surprise, this studious kid could only read tenth grade textbooks.
Judging by Ren Xiaosu's age, shouldn't he be in 12th grade at the least? So it turned out he was just a weak student who was starting to study from scratch?
An Yuqian counted on his fingers and realized the college entrance exams were only three months away. How could he make it in time if he was still only studying the tenth grade curriculum?
Even though An Yuqian was pacing around him, Ren Xiaosu did not bother looking at him.
An Yuqian could not help saying, "Isn't it a little too late to study now? The college entrance exams are only three months away!"
Ren Xiaosu looked up at him. "I'm not sitting for the entrance exams."
"You're not sitting for the entrance exams? Then why are you studying tenth grade math, physics, and chemistry?" An Yuqian asked in surprise. "Shouldn't you start working at a factory after you graduate from high school? What's the point of learning all this stuff?"
"Knowledge will always be useful, and whatever I learn belongs to me," Ren Xiaosu said calmly.
An Yuqian shrugged and turned around. "Just don't forget to pay for my breakfast every morning. If not for you, I wouldn't need to eat breakfast. This expenditure is incurred only because of you."
"OK," Ren Xiaosu said.
However, An Yuqian suddenly realized that other than Ren Xiaosu, there was another group of students who came to study in the afternoon. There were over 20 male and female students, and they had been sitting in the library all afternoon for several days in a row.
Even though there were also others who came to study in the afternoon, it would not be so frequent and scheduled. Furthermore, their numbers were always the same. This group of students… actually sat next to Ren Xiaosu in an organized and disciplined manner.
After waking up in the afternoon, An Yuqian got closer to have a look and realized Wang Yuchi and the others were reading books related to mechanical engineering. This topic exceeded the syllabus of high school.
When the library was about to close, Wang Yuchi suddenly said to Ren Xiaosu, "Monitor, should we go home now since it's closing time?"
An Yuqian was stunned. The young man who paid for his breakfast every day was actually the class monitor of this group of students? These normal students were learning knowledge beyond their years while the monitor was still studying tenth grade textbooks? What sort of nonsensical crap was this.
Ren Xiaosu took a look at the sky and said, "Y'all can head back first. I wanna read a little while longer."
"Hey!" An Yuqian could not sit still anymore. "Dontcha know it's time for me to leave too?!"
"I'll give you 50 yuan," Ren Xiaosu said without even raising his head.
An Yuqian said unhappily, "That won't do. I have to leave now to play mahjong. Who knows if I'll recover my losses tonight!"
Ren Xiaosu quietly put the book back onto the bookshelf before turning to leave.
The first thing Ren Xiaosu said when he saw An Yuqian the next morning was, "So did you recover your losses?"
"Kid, why are you so annoying?" An Yuqian was upset. "Should you even be asking something like that?"
"Then you must have lost." Ren Xiaosu slapped a ten-yuan bill into An Yuqian's hand. "Go on, get your breakfast."
As An Yuqian held the ten-yuan bill, he felt insulted.
In the afternoon, when Wang Yuchi and the others came to the library again, An Yuqian suddenly sat down across from Ren Xiaosu. Ren Xiaosu looked up at him in surprise. "What's up?"
An Yuqian said, "You guys must be trying to learn more about mechanical engineering, right? However, you're all reading the wrong books!"
Ren Xiaosu frowned. He glanced at the books Wang Yuchi and the other students were holding. "Then what books should they be reading?"
Without a teacher's guidance, they had to learn everything by themselves. It was like crossing a river while holding a stone in their arms. Their progress was extremely slow.
Although Jiang Wu was a teacher, she was only a language teacher.
An Yuqian replied, "For 500 yuan, I'll tell you all what books you should read!"
In response, Ren Xiaosu threw 500 yuan over. Wang Yuchi whispered from beside him, "Monitor, why do I get the feeling that he's a scammer?"
Ren Xiaosu shook his head. "A scammer can't possibly not even have any money for breakfast."
An Yuqian wanted to curse out loud. Ren Xiaosu was insinuating that he was not even qualified to be a scammer!
An Yuqian said with a sneer, "If you want to properly study mechanical engineering, don't try to run before you learn how to walk. You have to first learn math and physics!"
Ren Xiaosu leaned back in his chair and listened quietly. Meanwhile, Wang Yuchi and the others opened their notebooks and were preparing to take notes.
"I suggest you all first read Chen Jixiu's Mathematical Analysis as an introduction, then learn linear algebra. You won't have learned enough about this topic in high school."
"There's no need to read General Physics." An Yuqian threw a book onto the table. "Just read The Feynman Lectures on Physics."
"True Analysis… Forget it, you don't have to read that yet."
"As for the Methods of Mathematical Physics, you can have a look at Wang Dexin's books. All the books cover real functions, special functions, equations, and so on. There isn't much of a difference between them.
"You should also read up on thermodynamics."
An Yuqian kept talking for half an hour. Ren Xiaosu started to get the feeling that it would take several years to learn everything. But at this moment, An Yuqian smacked his lips and said, "And that's just the beginning. If you really want to gain a deeper understanding of mechanical engineering, you're all seriously lacking!"
Ren Xiaosu finally understood. So this guy was just rambling and trying to let off some steam. However, Ren Xiaosu also realized that An Yuqian was not an ordinary person. Even a scammer would probably not recite all that just to earn 500 yuan. Most importantly, no one could possibly teach him how to say what he just said.
Ren Xiaosu looked at An Yuqian and said, "If you teach them, I'll pay you 500 yuan for each lesson."
An Yuqian's eyes lit up, but he immediately held himself back. "But my time is very precious."
"400."
"Hey, why is the offer getting lower?!"
"300."
"Alright, I'll teach! 500 yuan! And not a cent less!"
Only then did Ren Xiaosu smile. "If you don't teach them well, I won't pay you."
"How can I not teach them well?" An Yuqian's eyes widened. "I… Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I told you!"
But An Yuqian suddenly felt there was much more about this young man before him than he had thought. Would a normal student pay 500 yuan just to attend a lesson?
