Background / History

Lu Xun transmigrated into Tian Chen after previously playing the game. His former life gave him extensive knowledge of quests, future events, equipment, players, and major figures; he repeatedly uses that knowledge to seize opportunities ahead of schedule. 67 98 167

Before transmigrating, he lived with his younger sister Lu Yu and commonly cooked for them both. He also learned dishes while helping in a restaurant kitchen. 27

He first encounters Ji Li while lacking True Qi and being treated as an ordinary person. Despite being caught in her conflict, he remains outwardly calm and later loots the corpses of the red-named pursuers killed by the Mountain Ghost. 3 5
