"Drip, drip..."

A young man lay in the middle of the road, covered in blood, on the verge of death.

People around him quickly took out their phones and dialed emergency services.

"Hang in there, kid, the ambulance is almost here."

"Everyone around, please help!"

The commotion around him woke the unconscious young man, none other than our protagonist, Mo Li.

Mo Li used his last ounce of strength to ask the elderly person next to him:

"Grandpa, is the little girl okay?"

The person Mo Li was asking about was the child he had protected with his life.

The old man quickly replied, "She's fine, she's fine, thanks to you. Young man, don't talk anymore, the ambulance is almost here."

"She's okay? That's good, that's really good."

Hearing this, the last heavy stone pressing on Mo Li's heart finally fell.

Looking back on his life, Mo Li had no regrets. He grew up in an orphanage, worked after becoming an adult, and then supported the orphanage.

His only regret was not having a girlfriend, but perhaps it was for the best, so he wouldn't hold anyone back.

And he hadn't even maxed out his Old Master Zhong yet.

Feeling his life force draining away bit by bit.

Mo Li felt pain all over his body, but he couldn't move.

"Confirmation complete, acquired Pain Nullification successfully!"

Mo Li was so numb with pain that he couldn't feel it anymore.

"Confirmation complete, acquired Paralysis Resistance successfully!"

"If I could do it all over again, I would definitely grind my Old Master Zhong to max level."

"Confirmation complete, searching for character Old Master Zhong, ding, search successful. Genshin Impact game character, Geo Archon Morax, Zhongli."

"Confirmation complete, acquired Geo Element Control successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Immortal Arts Control successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Mastery of All Weapons successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Weapon Master successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Heavenly Stars successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Earthly Core successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired innate skill, Martial Refiner successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired innate skill, Contractor successfully!"

Mo Li felt confused by this voice, but he couldn't be bothered. He was dying, why should he care about this now?

"I really wish I could go to a game world!"

"Searching for keyword 'game', acquired unique skill Gamer successfully."

"It's so hot out, why do I feel so cold?"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Heat Resistance successfully!"

"Confirmation complete, acquired Cold Resistance successfully!"

"What is this noise? I'm almost dead, can't I have some peace and quiet?"

"Confirmation complete, acquired innate skill Rationalist successfully!"

"Whatever, whatever, I don't care anymore."

Mo Li stopped thinking wildly and quietly waited for his death.

After an unknown amount of time, Mo Li slowly opened his eyes.

What greeted him was pitch darkness, so dark he couldn't see his hand in front of his face.

"Who am I, where am I?"

Mo Li mumbled groggily.

"I remember, my name is Mo Li. I think I was hit by a car while saving a little girl."

Mo Li finally recalled the cause and effect.

"Wait, didn't I die?" Why do I still have consciousness?

Mo Li felt confused.

Looking at the dark surroundings, Mo Li couldn't help but feel a little scared.

"Could this be the underworld?"

Mo Li was about to move when he realized something was wrong with his body.

Mo Li looked down and saw two dark, little paws, definitely not hands.

"What's going on? What did I turn into?"

Even with Mo Li's strong mental fortitude, he was starting to lose it.

"No, I shouldn't be dead. I must have transmigrated."

Mo Li finally realized.

"This transmigration is most likely related to that voice I heard right before I died."

Mo Li analyzed carefully.

After analyzing for a long time, Mo Li reluctantly gave up.

There were too few clues; he couldn't figure out which world he had transmigrated to at all.

"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time."

Mo Li saw a place that was emitting light.

Upon closer inspection, it was a crystal, or rather, a crystallization formed by some kind of power.

Mo Li approached the shimmering crystal, which reflected his appearance.

What greeted his eyes was a young dragon covered in dark gold. Its form wasn't that of a Western dragon, but rather an Eastern dragon with the features of nine mythical creatures: rabbit eyes, deer antlers, ox ears, camel head, clam belly, tiger paws, snake neck, fish scales, and eagle claws. It perfectly blended dominance and nobility.

Looking at his new form, Mo Li was stunned.

"I've become a dragon!"

Mo Li froze for a moment, then rejoiced.

"This is f*cking awesome!"

Just then, Mo Li's stomach growled.

Mo Li touched his belly, no longer able to enjoy his excitement. He said while patting his stomach:

"I'm hungry, what should I do?"

Mo Li looked at the crystal before him and felt a surge of appetite.

"I'm a dragon now, not human. I should be able to eat this, right?"

Without another word, Mo Li ran to the crystal and prepared to take a bite.

Touching the crystal, Mo Li opened his mouth wide and swallowed it.

[Confirming that the Magic Ore within the host's body is to be decomposed.]

A mechanical voice echoed in Mo Li's mind.

"Whoa, what was that sound?"

Mo Li was clearly startled.

Recalling the previous sentence, Mo Li cautiously said, "Decompose."

Instantly, the Magic Ore within Mo Li's body was decomposed into a large amount of magic power that flowed throughout his body.

[Note: Magic Ore. Ordinary ore that has absorbed a large amount of Magic Essence over a long period in regions with high Magic Essence concentration. It is a very precious mineral.]

Mo Li immediately felt less hungry.

"Magic Ore, magic power, a dark cave."

As someone who had watched countless anime and read numerous novels, Mo Li seemed to have a clue from those words, but he still wasn't sure.

"Never mind, I should eat first. If this really is that world, my current strength wouldn't even be enough to fill someone's teeth!"

Mo Li said with some seriousness.

Mo Li's eyes lit up as he looked at the surrounding Magic Ore and rushed towards it.

[Ding! Unique Skill Gamer activated.]

Just as Mo Li was halfway through eating, a panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Character: Mo Li Race: Elemental Dragon Race (not Dragon Species) Level: C+ Unique Skill: Gamer Innate Skills: Martial Refiner, Contractor, Rationalist Skills: Geo Element Control, Immortal Arts Control, Mastery of All Weapons, Weapon Master, Heavenly Stars, Earthly Core Passive Skills: Pain Nullification, Paralysis Resistance, Heat Resistance, Cold Resistance

Looking at this panel, Mo Li felt a sense of familiarity.

"Whoa, aren't these the Old Master's skills?"

Mo Li was dumbfounded.

"What's going on? Did I become the Old Master? Never mind, and besides, if that's the case, even in that world, Mo Li is confident he can secure a place for himself."

Mo Li thought about it with his little head but gave up when he couldn't figure it out, then said confidently.

He didn't know where this confidence came from.

Since earlier, Mo Li had been guessing which world he had transmigrated to. When he saw many clues, he finally dared to confirm that this world should be the world of the Moe King.
