Failed Transmigration, Fake Cultivation

Lincheng Town, Sunshine Hope Kindergarten.

A ray of morning sunlight streamed through the window and shone onto the utterly speechless face of a certain little boy.

He listened to the children's song playing in the classroom while watching the Beautiful Teacher in a floral dress stand at the podium and keep time.

In a gentle tone meant for coaxing children, she said, "Children, listen to the teacher two more times, then we'll all sing together, okay~ Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are~"

The little boy sitting by the window in the back row was named Lin Zhengran. He was five years old and currently studying in Class 3 of Senior Kindergarten.

Originally twenty-eight years old and having just received a huge amount of compensation from a home demolition, he had been forcibly bound by the Dog System and transmigrated to this world.

According to the system, this place was a xianxia world filled with demons and monsters, strange and fantastical sights, and extremely harsh living conditions for ordinary people.

As for him, he was supposed to start as an ordinary rogue cultivator, steadily increase his cultivation, expand his influence, and eventually establish his own sect and become the strongest under heaven!

But this damn system! Leaving aside whether I wanted to transmigrate or not, you're a bootleg, aren't you? Can't you open your eyes and take a good look at where you've brought me?

Is this even China?

Why are there cars, skyscrapers, and hot pot restaurants on the streets of a cultivation world? And why am I in a kindergarten? And why the hell am I only five years old?! I can't even swear properly anymore!

System activation complete. Congratulations, Host, on successfully transmigrating. It has been detected that the world you are in is the Spirit Qi Continent. The Spirit Qi Continent's cultivation levels range from one to one hundred. Only after reaching level one hundred can one become a god. In addition, every ten levels you gain will grant you an exclusive skill, significantly enhancing the Host's combat power.

Hearing the voice of the Bootleg System appear in his mind, Lin Zhengran felt that calling it a bootleg truly did it no injustice.

Your current cultivation level is one. Your aptitude is ordinary. Having just entered this world, you are extremely confused. A month after transmigrating, your cultivation has not increased at all. Your eyes are blank as you worry over how to proceed.

Today, you finally encountered a fortuitous opportunity! On the road, you met Fairy He of a righteous sect, whose cultivation seemed rather low. By eavesdropping, you learned that she was carrying a Pure Yang Treasure Pill. It was said that consuming it could greatly increase your cultivation! Combined with another Red Blood Pill, it could even reshape your muscles and bones!

You must find a way to obtain the treasure pill. Only then can you change your Moderately Talented aptitude. If you truly cannot get it, you can only blame your shallow destiny and seek another fortuitous opportunity.

What the hell, it's already been a month. Why hasn't the transmigration bug been fixed yet? System bro, I'm begging you, open your eyes and look! I'm in modern society right now. Where would there be a Fairy He carrying a treasure pill?! What opportunity am I supposed to seize?!

"Lin Zhengran? Lin Zhengran, you're pressing on my hair..."

His Deskmate's coquettish, mosquito-like hum interrupted Lin Zhengran's thoughts.

The adorable little girl in a pink dress with a Ponytail was gazing at Lin Zhengran with an innocent, dazed expression. The girl was named He Qing. She was Lin Zhengran's Deskmate, Childhood Sweetheart, and the neighbor's child.

"Lin Zhengran, my hair..." Her voice was quiet, as if she was very afraid of him.

Lin Zhengran turned his head. His fierce gaze indeed saw that her hair had somehow been pinned beneath his arm.

However, he did not lift his arm. Instead, he asked curiously, "Who told you to put your hair under my arm?"

Little He Qing looked aggrieved and did not dare argue. "I'm sorry, it's my fault. Could you lift your arm a little? Otherwise I can't move, and I need to go to the Restroom."

Afraid that Lin Zhengran would refuse, she took a Milk Candy from her pocket. "I'll give you this candy. My mom gave it to me this morning. It's the only one."

Lin Zhengran could not be bothered to bicker with a child, so he lifted his arm.

Little He Qing quickly pulled out and straightened her hair, then nervously placed the Milk Candy in front of him. "Here..."

After setting it down, she looked up at the teacher on the podium, hesitantly covering her slightly bulging belly with a conflicted expression.

"I don't eat this stuff." Lin Zhengran did not particularly like sweets. He had intended to return it to her, but just as he picked it up, the system's voice suddenly emerged.

I never expected that you would use nothing but sweet talk, without lifting a finger, to trick a Fairy of a prestigious righteous sect into offering up her Pure Yang Treasure Pill! **Impressive, impressive!** You should consume it immediately! Otherwise, if she changes her mind, you will lose this opportunity. And since you see that this Fairy is so easy to fool, why not ask what other treasures she has and take them all? Or you could quit while you're ahead and leave now.

Lin Zhengran: "???"

Looking at the Milk Candy in his hand, Lin Zhengran suddenly realized that this system might be blind.

Wait. Could it be that...!

Lin Zhengran stared at the Milk Candy in his hand, then, as if possessed, tore open the wrapper and swallowed it.

Who would have thought that after eating it, he would actually feel refreshed, with a sweet fragrance filling his mouth! A milky flavor rose from the tip of his tongue—no! A surge of power burst from his fist!

At that moment, Lin Zhengran felt that he could kill a huge mosquito with his bare hands!

The treasure pill has increased your cultivation. Your cultivation level has risen to level three. Strength +1. Physical Strength +1.

Although this differed from the world described by the system, Lin Zhengran genuinely felt his strength increase!

Little He Qing heard him say he did not eat sweets and assumed he would return it to her. But when she saw him change his mind and eat it instead, she asked in a childish voice, "Didn't you say you didn't eat it?"

Lin Zhengran froze for a moment before realizing that the system could still be used even after its transmigration had failed.

Now that was interesting.

He looked meaningfully at He Qing.

He Qing thought that something she had said had upset him. She lowered her head, covered her belly, and looked terrified.

"I didn't say anything."

Lin Zhengran asked with a smile, "He Qing, do you have anything else to eat?"

He Qing shook her little head, making the Ponytail at the back of her head sway twice.

"No."

Lin Zhengran's smile turned frightening. "Are you sure? I remember your mom gave you a lot of snacks this morning."

He Qing continued covering her belly, then felt around in her pocket and took out a Jujube.

"This is all I have... The others are... are all gone."

Red Blood Pill! This is the perfect companion to the Pure Yang Treasure Pill. I never expected your luck to be this good today! If you consume these two pills together, your ordinary aptitude can be improved! From now on, the gates of the cultivation world will open wide for you!

Just as I thought!

Although the world was different, as long as he did something similar, he could still exploit a system bug and obtain rewards.

Lin Zhengran took the Jujube from her hand. When he saw her suddenly grow teary-eyed as if she were about to cry, he spoke helplessly:

"I won't take your things for free. You're covering your belly because you need to use the Restroom but don't dare call the teacher, right? I'll call the teacher for you, but the Jujube will belong to me. Deal?"

He Qing looked at him in disbelief. In her impression, the big brother from next door, Lin Zhengran, had always been fierce. How could he say something like that?

"Are you agreeing or not? Say something." Lin Zhengran asked again.

Little He Qing was so frightened that she nodded repeatedly.

Lin Zhengran raised his hand without hesitation. "Teacher! He Qing needs to use the Restroom!"

He Qing had not expected him to shout it out so loudly. Her face flushed with embarrassment as all the students in the class looked over.

The kindergarten teacher was accustomed to this. "Go ahead, and come back quickly."

He Qing looked delighted despite her panic. She hurriedly stood up and timidly replied, "Thank you, Teacher. I'll be back soon."

Then she gratefully glanced at Lin Zhengran, who was examining the Jujube, and hurried out of the classroom toward the Restroom. She could barely hold it anymore.

Lin Zhengran ate the Jujube.

He clearly sensed something beginning to improve.

Then the kindergarten teacher coughed and sternly scolded a certain someone. "Lin Zhengran! You're not allowed to sneak snacks during class, understand? You'll disturb the other children! Eat them after class!"

Terrifying! After taking the Fairy's treasure, you were actually threatened through a thousand-mile voice transmission! It seems that the Fairy's master must be protecting her from a thousand miles away. Fortunately, you did not attack the Fairy just now, or you would surely have suffered retaliation from her master! This made you extremely frightened. You secretly decided that you must act cautiously in this world from now on, or you might lose your life.

You successfully absorbed the Red Blood Pill. Your aptitude has changed from ordinary to Moderately Talented. Your level has risen to four. Stamina +1.

Lin Zhengran: "."

Lin Zhengran: "I understand, Teacher."

This seemed to be a Narration System. But the saying that fortune and misfortune depended on each other was indeed true. At least in this world, he had practically no danger to his life. From now on, he could develop like crazy!

Speaking of which, how was he supposed to cultivate in this world? He could not just advance by eating pills, right? Wait, don't tell me he had to read and study.

Lin Zhengran tried opening one of the kindergarten children's books.

Cultivating—This is an Elementary Cultivation Scroll. After memorizing it completely, you can break through to level five.

Lin Zhengran: "You've got to be kidding me! It really is! Then the difficulty of cultivation later on will be way too high!"
