"Drip, drip..."
A young man lay in the middle of the road, covered in blood and on the verge of death.
The people around him hurriedly took out their phones and called emergency services.
"Young man, hang in there. The ambulance will be here soon."
"Everyone around, come lend a hand!"
The surrounding commotion woke the unconscious young man. He was none other than our protagonist, Mo Li.
Using the last of his strength, Mo Li asked the elderly man beside him:
"Sir, is that little girl from before okay?"
The girl Mo Li was asking about was none other than the child he had protected with his life.
The old man hurriedly said, "She's fine, she's fine. Thanks to you. Young man, stop talking. The ambulance will be here soon."
"She's okay... That's good, that's good."
Upon hearing those words, it was as if the last heavy stone weighing on Mo Li's heart had finally fallen away.
Looking back on his life, Mo Li had no real regrets. He had grown up in an orphanage, gone out to work after becoming an adult, and then supported the orphanage.
His only regret was that he had never gotten a girlfriend. But perhaps that was for the best. At least he would not hold anyone else back.
And Old Master Zhong still wasn't fully constellated.
He could feel his life force slowly slipping away.
Mo Li's entire body hurt, yet he could not move.
"Confirmation complete. Pain Nullification acquired successfully!"
Mo Li was already so hurt that he had gone numb.
"Confirmation complete. Paralysis Resistance acquired successfully!"
If I could do it all over again, I'd definitely grind Old Master Zhong to full constellation.
"Confirmation complete. Searching for character Old Master Zhong. Ding. Search successful. Genshin Impact game character: Geo Archon Morax, Zhongli."
"Confirmation complete. Geo Element Control acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Immortal Arts Control acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Mastery of All Weapons acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Weapon Master acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Heavenly Star acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Earthly Core acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Intrinsic Skill, Martial Refiner, acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Intrinsic Skill, Contractor, acquired successfully!"
Hearing that voice, Mo Li felt puzzled, but he could not be bothered to care anymore. He was about to die anyway, so why worry about it?
"I really hope I can go to a game world!"
"Searching keyword: 'game.' Unique Skill Gamer acquired successfully."
"It's obviously so hot out. Why do I feel so cold?"
"Confirmation complete. Heat Resistance acquired successfully!"
"Confirmation complete. Cold Resistance acquired successfully!"
"What the hell is that voice? I'm about to die, and it still won't let me have a moment of peace."
"Confirmation complete. Intrinsic Skill Rationalist acquired successfully!"
"Forget it, forget it. Whatever happens, happens."
Mo Li stopped overthinking and quietly waited for death.
Who knew how long passed before Mo Li slowly opened his eyes.
All he saw was pitch-black darkness, so dark he could not see his own hand.
"Who am I? Where am I?"
Mo Li murmured groggily.
"I remember now. My name is Mo Li. I think I got hit by a car while saving a little girl."
Only then did Mo Li remember what had happened.
"Wait, wasn't I dead? How do I still have consciousness?"
Mo Li was confused.
Looking at the darkness around him, Mo Li could not help but feel a little frightened.
"Could this be the underworld?"
Mo Li had just tried to move when he realized something seemed wrong with his body.
Lowering his head, Mo Li saw two tiny black claws. They were definitely not hands.
"What's going on? What the hell 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."
Only then did Mo Li realize what had happened.
"This transmigration is probably connected to that voice I heard before I died."
Mo Li carefully analyzed the situation.
After thinking it over for a long time, Mo Li could only give up helplessly.
There were simply too few clues. He could not figure out what world he had transmigrated to.
"Forget it. I'll take things one step at a time."
Mo Li spotted a glowing area.
When he went closer, he found a crystal. Or rather than a crystal, it was more like a solidified mass of some kind of energy.
Mo Li walked up to the glowing crystal, and it reflected his appearance.
What appeared before his eyes was a young dragon covered in dark golden scales. It was not a Western dragon, but an Eastern one, bearing the traits of nine creatures: rabbit eyes, deer antlers, ox ears, a camel head, a clam belly, tiger paws, a snake neck, fish scales, and eagle claws. Its appearance perfectly combined majesty and nobility.
Seeing his new appearance, Mo Li froze in shock.
"I turned into a dragon."
Mo Li was stunned for a moment before he was overcome with ecstasy.
"This is fucking awesome."
Just then, Mo Li's stomach growled.
Mo Li rubbed his stomach, no longer having time to celebrate. As he rubbed it, he said:
"I'm hungry. What do I do?"
Looking at the crystal before him, Mo Li suddenly felt an appetite stir within him.
"I'm a dragon now, not a human. I should be able to eat this, right?"
Mo Li did not say anything else and immediately ran over to the crystal, ready to take a bite.
Touching the crystal, Mo Li opened his mouth wide and swallowed it.
[Confirmation: The host possesses Magic Ore. Disassemble it?]
A mechanical voice rang out in Mo Li's mind.
"Whoa, what was that?"
Mo Li was clearly startled.
Recalling what the voice had just said, Mo Li cautiously replied, "Disassemble."
At once, the Magic Ore within Mo Li's body was broken down into a large amount of magicules that flowed throughout his body.
[Note: Magic Ore is a product formed when ordinary ore remains in an area with a high concentration of magicules for a long period of time and absorbs vast quantities of magicules. It is an extremely valuable mineral.]
Mo Li immediately did not feel quite as hungry.
"Magic Ore, magicules, a pitch-black cave..."
Having watched countless anime and read countless novels, Mo Li seemed to have gained some clues from those words, but he still did not dare to be certain.
"Forget it. I should eat first. If this really is that world, then my current strength isn't even enough to fill someone's teeth!"
Mo Li said seriously.
Looking at the Magic Ore around him, Mo Li's eyes lit up as he charged toward it.
"Ding! Unique Skill Gamer activated."
Just as Mo Li was halfway through eating, a panel suddenly appeared before his eyes.
Name: Mo Li Race: Elemental Dragon Race (not a True Dragon) Level: C+ Unique Skill: Gamer Intrinsic Skills: Martial Refiner, Contractor, Rationalist Skills: Geo Element Control, Immortal Arts Control, Mastery of All Weapons, Weapon Master, Heavenly Star, Earthly Core Passive Skills: Pain Nullification, Paralysis Resistance, Heat Resistance, Cold Resistance
Looking at the panel, Mo Li could not help but feel a sense of familiarity.
"Holy shit, aren't these Old Master Zhong's skills?"
Mo Li was instantly dumbfounded.
"What's going on? Did I turn into Old Master Zhong? Forget it, whatever. And if that's the case, then even if this really is that world, I'm confident I can carve out a place for myself."
After racking his tiny brain and getting nowhere, Mo Li stopped thinking about it and declared confidently.
No one knew where that confidence came from.
Ever since earlier, Mo Li had been guessing which world he had transmigrated to. After seeing so many clues, he finally dared to confirm that this world was probably the Cute King world.
