System Transmigrated Without Me

[New author here, please leave suggestions for the author.]

[--Brain storage area]

[This book has a relatively slow pace, and the system does not have a high presence.]

[The author declares in advance that this book contains some live streaming and gaming content.]

[Disclaimer: This book is set in a parallel world, and all characters appearing are adults.]

In a clean room in Ning City.

Ling Yun sat up abruptly from his bed.

Looking at the familiar surroundings, he was completely bewildered.

I'm not dreaming, am I? Did I just get reborn?

Ling Yun still couldn't believe it.

His life had been very ordinary; after graduating from junior college, he just stayed at home rotting away, with no distinguishing features.

When others mentioned him, they would rack their brains only to squeeze out a single sentence: "That kid... he's quite honest."

It was as if his entire life was left with only this pale footnote.

The only thing he had in common with a protagonist was that his parents were both deceased.

The process of his rebirth was also very simple: he went out, got hit by a large truck, lost consciousness, and woke up in this familiar place.

Ling Yun grew up in an orphanage.

At the age of three, he was adopted by his foster parents.

His foster parents were also orphans, having grown up in the same orphanage.

Later, the two worked hard together in society, fell in love, and got married, but they couldn't conceive a child for a long time, so they decided to adopt one from an orphanage.

His foster parents were very good to Ling Yun.

He had a happy childhood.

But in his third year of junior high, his foster parents passed away in a car accident.

They left him a house and assets, plus compensation, totaling 1.3 million.

Because his foster parents were also orphans with no relatives, Ling Yun lived alone again.

Due to the lack of parental discipline, and the fact that he would hole up in the house day and night reading novels and playing games after school, he only managed to get into a junior college and lived off his parents' compensation.

"In this life, I must live brilliantly!"

Just then, a cold, emotionless mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind:

[Ding! Detected strong will to survive in sync with space-time fluctuations... Cultivation Assistance System bound successfully.]

[Loading identity information for this plane... Loading complete.]

[Host: Ling Yun.]

[Identity Background: Parents deceased. Provided with basic resources by the Sect Relief Hall, completed nine-year compulsory Immortal Path enlightenment education.]

[Current Achievement: Through arduous cultivation and passing numerous assessments, successfully admitted to 'Ning City First Sect'.]

[Plane Coordinates: Canglan Continent, Ningzhou City Region.]

[Novice tutorial initiated...]

"Cultivation system? Canglan Continent? Ningzhou City?"

Ling Yun was stunned, and then a strong sense of dissonance welled up in his heart.

He grabbed the phone by his pillow; the familiar brand logo and the date clearly displayed on the screen: September 1, 2019, 6:15 AM.

He rushed to the window and pushed it open—downstairs were the familiar breakfast stalls, the crisp sound of bicycle bells, and in the distance, the silhouette of the Ning City No. 1 High School teaching building.

This was clearly the modern city he had lived in for over a decade! Where was this supposed cultivation continent?

"System!" Ling Yun shouted in his mind, "Are you sure the location is correct? This looks like Ning City, Huaxia, Earth in every way!"

[System positioning is correct: Canglan Continent, Ningzhou City. Host's cognition may have deviations; it is recommended to adapt to the rules of this plane as soon as possible.]

The system's voice remained as calm as an ancient well, carrying an unquestionable certainty.

"..." Ling Yun was speechless.

This system, did it break its brain while traveling through time?

However... a cultivation system in a city? This bug... seems kind of interesting?

"Forget it, whether it's Canglan or Ning City, having a system makes me the boss! System, what functions do you have?"

[This system aims to assist the host in reaching the pinnacle of the Immortal Path. Detected that the host is new to the Immortal Sect, with a shallow foundation and mediocre comprehension, special novice gift package issued:]

[1. Top-tier Comprehension: Photographic memory, mastery of all laws, drawing inferences from one instance, natural affinity for Daoist techniques.]

[2. Qi Refining Pill (Low-grade) x1: Contains pure spiritual energy, can assist Qi Refining Stage cultivators in breaking through small realms.]

[Do you wish to claim it?]

"Claim!" Ling Yun did not hesitate.

If you cannot find the book title, try searching for the author; perhaps the name has simply been changed!

As the words fell, an indescribable sense of coolness instantly swept through his brain, as if a channel that had been blocked for years had been cleared in an instant.

Countless blurred memory fragments became incredibly clear, his cognitive processing speed accelerated to an astonishing degree, and knowledge points that were once obscure and difficult to understand were now as clear and simple as reading the lines on one's own palm.

At the same time, a black pill the size of a dragon's eye, emitting a faint, refreshing fragrance, appeared in his palm.

Ling Yun swallowed the pill without hesitation. The pill melted the moment it touched his tongue, transforming into a scorching torrent that surged toward his limbs and bones!

Intense pain accompanied by an unbearable stench struck him instantly.

The pores all over his body frantically expelled a large amount of viscous, pitch-black filth, foul-smelling and nauseating. His stomach felt as if it were churning and overturning.

Enduring the dizziness and nausea, he stumbled into the bathroom.

After an indescribable struggle of agony, the filth was completely purged.

When the warm water washed away the last trace of grime, Ling Yun stood before the mirror, barely recognizing himself.

"Hiss, is this level of handsomeness really me?"

The temperament of the Ling Yun in the mirror had shed its former decadence; his eyes were clear and profound, carrying a detached serenity and mystery, as if he were an immortal who had just descended to the mortal realm.

His looks were so handsome that they defied description; let's just say, his appearance was on par with the esteemed readers.

At the same time, his body had undergone tremendous changes. His frame, which had previously been thin enough to show only skin and bone, had grown solid muscle, and his abs had transformed from a blur into six clearly visible, defined blocks.

He now felt his strength was terrifyingly powerful; he could kill a cow with a single punch.

"System, what is my current strength?"

Host Realm: Qi Refining Stage (Early).

Physical Stats Initially Enhanced: Single-arm explosive power approximately 150kg, maximum sprint speed approximately 12m/s.

Warning: Such cultivation in the perilous Cultivation World is like an ant. Please maintain awe, develop steadily, and do not be Zhang Yang.

"An ant?"

Ling Yun felt the surging power within his body, a playful smile curling at the corners of his mouth.

In the "Cultivation World" as defined by the system, he might be an ant, but in this city called Earth... this power was enough to make him reborn.

"Develop steadily? Got it. Keep a low profile in the early stages, and in the later stages... don't eat beef?"

A thought flashed through his mind, making him chuckle at himself.

At the same time, he asked the system about the classification of cultivation realms.

Cultivation realms are divided into: Qi Refining, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core, Nascent Soul, Spirit Severing, Void Refinement, Void Integration, Great Vehicle, Tribulation Transcendence, True Immortal, Mystic Immortal, Golden Immortal, Grand Unity Golden Immortal, Grand Luo Golden Immortal, Primordial Chaos, Eternal Realm.

"Good heavens, an Eternal Realm? Giving me such a high combat power ceiling while I'm in the city."

Ling Yun was almost dying of pleasure; it was like playing a cracked version of a game, invincible from the start.

Today is the freshman registration day for Ning City No. 1 High School. Please proceed to the sect grounds to report immediately.

Task: Report on time. Reward: Storage Space (Infinite Space).

"School opening day?"

Ling Yun glanced at the date on his phone, confirming it was correct.

Ning City No. 1 High School—this was the key high school he had barely managed to get into with a score of 602 in his previous life's middle school entrance exam, and it was also where his life of decadence had begun.

In his previous life, due to the blow of his adoptive parents' passing, he had lived through high school in a daze, completely invisible.

"In this life... right here, let's start over!" A fighting spirit ignited in his eyes like never before.

Although it was still early, he decided to set off immediately.

Day student status was a must; the secret of cultivation could not be exposed in a communal dormitory.

He washed up quickly, gulped down a few mouthfuls of instant noodles, and pushed his old mountain bike out the door.

The morning air in Ning City was cool.

Riding his bike, familiar street scenes flashed by, but Ling Yun's state of mind was completely different.

In his previous life, he only saw gloom, but now he felt that everything was full of vitality.

Memories of Ning City's schools surfaced clearly: the top-tier No. 1 High School (cutoff score 600+), the ordinary No. 2 High School (380+), and the vocational schools that took the rest... His predecessor had managed to scrape into No. 1 High School, so he did have some foundation.

Twenty minutes later, the magnificent gate of Ning City No. 1 High School came into view.

Looking at the bustling crowd of freshmen and parents at the entrance (parents were allowed on campus on the first day to help move luggage), Ling Yun took a deep breath and locked his bicycle.

"What I owed in my previous life, I will make up for twofold in this one!"

He stepped into the campus. His upright posture, extraordinary temperament, and peerless handsome face instantly attracted countless gazes like a magnet.

The originally noisy crowd of students registering fell quiet as he passed by, countless eyes focusing on him with amazement, curiosity, or shyness.

Having never experienced such a scene, even with two lifetimes of experience, Ling Yun couldn't help but feel a ripple of unease in his heart.

In his previous life, he was a "Little Transparent" in the crowd, but now he had become the center of attention.

He suppressed his discomfort, though the corners of his mouth couldn't help but lift slightly.

Under the amazed and enthusiastic gaze of the teacher at the registration desk, Ling Yun successfully completed the procedures, received his school uniform and military training uniform, and learned his class—Grade 10, Class 3.

Clutching the clothes he had received, Ling Yun walked toward the teaching building.
