"Yu-ge'er! Tell us a story! Tell us a story!"

In the corner of the northwest of Cangwu Academy, within the courtyard of the miscellaneous workers' dorm, a youth dressed in blue, about sixteen years old, sat on a stone bench under a tree. A group of youths of similar age surrounded him.

The youth in blue was named Li Yu. He had unusually short hair, making him stand out amongst the other youths who wore their hair long and tied up.

"Yu-ge'er, hurry up and tell us a story!"

"Yeah! Yeah! The story you told yesterday about the romantic scholar Liang Shanbo, who disguised himself as a woman and infiltrated the Academy for Ladies, was really good."

"Right! Right! The brave and invincible Great Sage Sun, who swept through the Hundred and Eight Female Demons of the Spider Silk Cave with a single staff, that story was also good."

"Sigh..."

Li Yu let out a long sigh, his face full of helplessness. "It's no problem to tell you brothers a story. It's just... my work isn't finished yet! What am I going to do?"

"What's that? Consider it done."

"Exactly. Exactly. Yu-ge'er, don't worry. You don't need to bother with these chores. We'll take care of it all."

The youths eagerly volunteered, offering to share Li Yu's burdens.

"This... how could I impose?"

Li Yu seemed a little ashamed, lowering his head slightly. Of course, if anyone had observed closely, the slight upward curve of the youth's lips would have betrayed his true feelings.

"We're brothers, what's there to be embarrassed about?"

"Exactly. Exactly. Yu-ge'er, you're weak. You don't need to do this heavy work. We're here for you!"

"Then I'll trouble all my brothers."

Li Yu cupped his hands in a bow and said with a smile, "Later, I'll tell you all the story of the romantic Elder Tang's romantic encounters in the Women's Country to reward you all, how about that?"

"Hahahaha! Great! Romantic Elder Tang, haha, that's awesome!"

"Heh heh. The Women's Country, huh? That's great."

The youths were instantly fired up, their enthusiasm for work growing even higher.

"Sigh..."

After the youths had all left, Li Yu let out another sigh. This sigh was truly heartfelt.

"I must have transmigrated with the wrong posture!"

Li Yu looked at his own slender arms and legs, his frail physique, and shook his head helplessly.

"It's one thing that my age has regressed. But why would I transmigrate into such a powerful world?"

"I went to help in the kitchen to kill a chicken, and I was knocked over by a rooster. What kind of chicken was that? It wouldn't stay down even with my full weight on it? The nickname 'powerless to even lift a chicken' is already well-known!"

"If even a chicken is this fierce, one can only imagine what humans are like. These miscellaneous worker youths can casually carry one or two hundred pounds of stuff and still walk as fast as flying!"

"If I really had no other choice, why would I tell these suggestive jokes to get them to do my work for me!"

Shaking his head helplessly, Li Yu picked up a teacup from the stone table in front of him and took a gentle sip.

"System, you've been activating for months, when will you finally finish?"

Li Yu grumbled inwardly, "There isn't even a progress bar. Who designed this? They have no common sense at all."

Yes, he had a system.

When Li Yu first transmigrated, he fell headfirst onto the ground, his face hitting first. Then he was picked up by Yin Kangming, the supervisor of the miscellaneous workers' dorm.

Normally, for a vagrant like him who fainted by the roadside, even if Yin Kangming had a good heart, he would at most give him some food and money. But Li Yu's extremely poor physical condition piqued Yin Kangming's interest.

He wanted to know how someone with bones as brittle as a twig and Blood Essence as weak as a firefly could still be alive. Thus, Li Yu was brought to the miscellaneous workers' dorm of Cangwu Academy by Yin Kangming, becoming an unregistered miscellaneous worker.

When Li Yu learned the reason, he almost spat out a mouthful of old blood.

My body is perfectly normal, okay? You people are the abnormal ones, okay? Children throwing pebbles can throw stones weighing twenty or thirty pounds, and each one can be thrown over ten zhang. In our world, they're all superheroes, okay?

After arriving at the miscellaneous workers' dorm, Yin Kangming also tried to teach Li Yu some basic methods to strengthen his body. Unfortunately, after more than two months, Li Yu's body remained the same.

Li Yu had no way to express his suffering.

It was all because of this system! As soon as he tried to cultivate even a little Blood Essence, it would be immediately devoured by the system. Then, "System activating..." would be displayed in Li Yu's mind, and that was it.

"It's been activating for months, how long are you going to take!"

Li Yu hugged his head and sighed inwardly.

"Li Yu, you're slacking off again!"

A young girl in a goose-yellow long dress suddenly appeared behind Li Yu. The girl's eyebrows were knitted, and she glared at Li Yu with a feigned ferocity.

"It's Yin Luo!"

Li Yu turned his head and saw the girl, greeting her with a smile.

This girl was the daughter of Yin Kangming, the supervisor of the miscellaneous workers' dorm. She was fourteen years old this year. Although still a young girl, she was pretty and delicate, the dream lover of all twenty-seven youths in the miscellaneous workers' dorm.

Well, Li Yu was not among them. Having experienced countless visual shocks in his previous life, Li Yu stated that he had no interest in flat-chested girls.

"Li Yu, why are you slacking off again? With your poor foundation and weak Blood Essence, if you don't train, my father says you might not live past thirty. Are you trying to die?"

Yin Luo glared at Li Yu, seemingly a little angry.

Seeing that Li Yu still looked indifferent, Yin Luo let out a "hmph" in anger and stomped her foot heavily.

"Bang..."

The powerful force from her stomp created a dent in the ground, and the teacups on the stone table in front of Li Yu clinked incessantly.

Alright, this was reality.

Li Yu looked at the seemingly frail young girl and suddenly felt a headache coming on.

This world had a strong martial arts culture, and even ordinary commoners knew a few basic farming moves. Places like Cangwu Academy, a center for scholarly cultivation, were filled with superhumans.

"This feeling of being a weakling is just too awful! System, hurry up and activate!"

Li Yu yelled inwardly, feeling depressed.

"Clatter!"

A jade bottle was tossed onto the stone table in front of Li Yu.

"This is for you! Eat it quickly!"

Yin Luo's angry, pretty face reappeared before Li Yu.

"For me?"

Li Yu reached out and picked up the jade bottle. He opened the cap, and a refreshing fragrance wafted towards him. Li Yu felt a sense of comfort spread through his entire body, as if every cell was cheering.

"What... is this?"

Li Yu knew that the contents of this bottle were likely extraordinary. If Yin Luo had given it to him without Yin Kangming's permission, she would probably be in trouble herself.

"Dad told me to give it to you. It's an Essence Nourishing Blood Pill. After taking it, your body will get better."

Yin Luo glanced up at Li Yu, a hint of concern in her eyes.

"Dad also said that your body is congenitally deficient, and the pill is just an external supplement. To truly get better, you need internal strengthening. That depends on you. Don't be so lazy; you'll get better if you exercise more."

"Oh! Got it."

Li Yu nodded and replied casually, reaching out to pour out the pill from the bottle. His body was actually quite normal, and he certainly didn't believe the nonsense about not living past thirty.

"I wonder if taking this pill will help activate the system?"

Looking at the pigeon-egg-sized, blood-red pill in his hand, Li Yu smiled, tossed it into his mouth, and swallowed it whole.
