Nine-Star Great Dou Shi! Third-grade Alchemist!

"Little Brother, I'll see you off here."

Beneath Wutan City's gates, a Big Man with a badge bearing seven golden stars on his chest cupped his hands toward a short-haired young man wearing somewhat ill-fitting clothes.

"Thank you, Big Brother Xiao Yong, for the clothes and for escorting me all this way. I will definitely repay you someday!" Chen Yang awkwardly bowed and cupped his hands toward Xiao Yong, who carried a long spear.

"Haha... no need to mention it." Xiao Yong did not take Chen Yang's words of repayment to heart. In his eyes, Chen Yang was merely an ordinary person without even a trace of Dou Qi. He had only helped on a whim because Chen Yang looked about the same age as his son.

Xiao Yong patted Chen Yang on the shoulder, slung his spear over one shoulder, and turned to head into Wutan City.

Chen Yang, meanwhile, stood at the city gates for a long while, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

About two and a half hours ago, he had merely been an ordinary college student on Earth. He had arranged a weekend cycling trip with an upperclassman, only to be sent into the world of Battle Through the Heavens by a Hundred-Ton King on the highway.

When he woke up, he had been left with nothing but a pair of underwear. Fortunately, he had run into Xiao Yong, who had been out carrying out a Clan assignment. Otherwise, he would not even have known where he had transmigrated to.

After learning that this was the world of Battle Through the Heavens and that Xiao Yong was a member of Wutan City's Xiao Family, Chen Yang claimed that he had come from Qingshan Town. He said that his parents had been killed by Magical Beasts in the Monster Mountain Range and that he was planning to seek refuge with Relatives in Wutan City.

Thus, Xiao Yong had given him clothes and shoes, then brought him to Wutan City, leading to the scene just now.

In truth, even after arriving in Wutan City, Chen Yang had no idea what to do next. He had no money and no strength. As an ordinary person in Wutan City, he did not even know whether he could survive until tomorrow.

"Ugh... I transmigrated, and they still didn't give me a system."

Chen Yang helplessly shook his head and stepped through Wutan City's gates, intending to see whether he could find some work.

Only once he earned some money and solved his livelihood problem would he have the right to think about cultivating Dou Qi.

Now that he had come to this world where Dou Qi had flourished to its peak, he had to experience the feeling of flying freely, didn't he?

Just as both of Chen Yang's feet fully crossed into Wutan City, a sudden ding rang out in his mind.

[Ding!]

[The host has been detected setting foot on the first map of this world. The Strongest in the Entire Map System has been activated!]

[Binding system...]

[Binding complete!]

"I knew it! How could a transmigrator possibly not have a system?!" Chen Yang was instantly overjoyed. After moving slightly to the side so as not to obstruct pedestrians, he began studying the system's functions in his mind.

After looking into it for a while, Chen Yang came to understand the system's functions.

After obtaining the system, every time Chen Yang set foot on a new map, he would directly become the strongest person on that map.

Moreover, he would surpass the original strongest person on that map in every aspect, including Dou Qi cultivation, Alchemy, Spiritual Power, Cultivation Techniques and Dou Techniques, weapons, equipment, and more.

There were two trigger conditions—or rather, restrictions.

First, the map had to be lit up by Xiao Yan, the Child of Fortune of this world, before it could be included in the system's calculations.

Second, people who were not from that map would not be included in the calculations, with the exception of the Protagonist, Xiao Yan!

For example, Xiao Xun'er, Ling Ying, and Venerable Yao, Yao Chen, who were currently in Wutan City, would not be included in the calculations.

However, if Xiao Yan obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert, Chen Yang would be able to obtain an even more powerful Heavenly Flame!

"That's not a problem. I can just tag along with a fellow countryman and take a look around, see the great experts of the Dou Qi Continent for myself."

If he had transmigrated to Douluo Continent and received a system like this, then after becoming a Title Douluo in Saint Soul Village, the first thing he would have done would be to kill Tang San and Tang Hao.

But Xiao Yan was different. First of all, Xiao Yan was a genuine fellow countryman. Second, Chen Yang quite liked Xiao Yan's way of doing things. When it came to the Protagonist's character, no one surpassed Yan Di.

Even taking ten thousand steps back, Xiao Yan had yet to experience the Three-Year Agreement. When his engagement was broken off, Chen Yang only needed to offer him a few words of comfort. At the very least, he could become the future lord of Wutan City. Once Xiao Yan became an emperor, Chen Yang might even have a place in the Great Thousand World.

[Ding!]

[The current strongest person in Wutan City has been detected as Xiao Zhan, with the strength of a Five-Star Great Dou Shi. The host's strength has been raised to Nine-star Great Dou Shi!]

[The highest-ranking Alchemist currently in Wutan City has been detected as Guni, a Second-grade Alchemist. The host's Alchemist rank has been raised to Third-grade Alchemist!]

[The highest-ranked Cultivation Method currently in Wutan City has been detected as a Mysterious Tier Mid-Grade Cultivation Method. The host has obtained the Mysterious Tier High-Grade Cultivation Method Crimson Flame Art!]

[The highest-ranked Dou Technique currently in Wutan City has been detected as a Mysterious Tier Low-Grade Dou Technique. The host may choose three Mysterious Tier Mid-grade Dou Techniques or one Profound-tier High-grade Dou Skill!]

[The host has obtained one Storage Ring with a capacity of 20 cubic meters and one Third-Grade Medicine Cauldron.]

"Whoosh!"

Almost instantly, Chen Yang's Dou Qi rose from nothing all the way to Nine-star Great Dou Shi. It was an exceptionally stable, battle-tested Nine-star Great Dou Shi cultivation level, gained through cultivating a Mysterious Tier High-grade Cultivation Method.

Next, the memories, techniques, and various Pill Recipes of a Third-grade Alchemist appeared in Chen Yang's mind. It was as though he had studied under an alchemy master for Two and a Half Years, leaving him with an incomparably solid foundation—the kind that gave him a one-hundred-percent success rate in refining Awakening Spirit Pills.

Then came the infusion of the Mysterious Tier High-grade Cultivation Method, Crimson Flame Art, along with a green Storage Ring that silently slipped onto the middle finger of his left hand, and the Third-Grade Medicine Cauldron that appeared within it.

"I choose one Profound-tier High-grade Dou Skill!"

The difference of a single rank in Dou Techniques was like the difference between heaven and earth. How could the power unleashed by one Profound-tier High-grade Dou Skill compare to that of three Mysterious Tier Mid-grade Dou Techniques?

[Ding! According to the host's wishes, the host has obtained the Profound-tier High-grade Dou Skill Setting Sun Swordplay and one Level 3 Fire Attribute Magic Core Longsword!]

Among sabers, spears, swords, halberds, axes, hooks, forks, and all eighteen weapons, Chen Yang still liked swords best. Thus, the system thoughtfully arranged a Profound-tier High-grade sword Dou Skill for him and even threw in a Long Sword fused with the Magic Core of a Level 3 fire-attribute Magical Beast.

Using his Spiritual Power to "look" at the diamond-shaped crystal in his dantian and feel the surging Dou Qi within his body, Chen Yang resisted the urge to erupt with Dou Qi on the spot and quietly walked into the city.

The process of assimilating his Dou Qi cultivation had taken almost no time at all. Not the slightest trace of Dou Qi leaked out, and no one knew that Chen Yang, who had been an ordinary person one second ago, had become one of Wutan City's top experts the next.

As he walked down the street, Chen Yang's mood quickly settled. Having overcome the confusion he felt right after transmigrating, he was now able to face everything calmly.

Although he had not become invincible from the very beginning, as long as he did not try to assassinate Xiao Xun'er or Xiao Yan, Nine-star Great Dou Shi strength was enough for him to run rampant through Wutan City.

Besides, becoming invincible right away would take away some of the gaming experience.

And anyway, once he followed Xiao Yan into the eastern part of the Monster Mountain Range, he would instantly possess the strength of a Dou Emperor. Once they reached the Snake-People Tribe, he would directly become a Dou Zong. Strength would come sooner or later!

I'll go to the Mittel Auction House, use my Alchemy to earn some money first, then find a chance to repay Big Brother Xiao Yong's kindness!

Chen Yang swept his gaze over Wutan City's streets, asked around for directions, and headed toward the Mittel Auction House...

PS: Although this book is not a nanny story in the true sense, the setting of the golden finger cannot be separated from Xiao Yan. Otherwise, there would be no way to write this book.

The Protagonist would enter Wutan City and become a Three-Star Dou Grandmaster, then head straight to the Monster Mountain Range and become a Seven-star Dou Huang. He would reach Jia Ma Imperial Capital in the afternoon and become a One-star Dou Zong, go to Jia Nan Academy that night and become a One-star Dou Zun, then find a place in Central Continent to grind up to Dou Saint. The next day, he would go to the Ancient Clan and directly become a Dou Di.

The author has written this kind of invincible golden finger before. If the Protagonist's strength were restricted, people would say the story was suppressing his power. So the restrictions can only be placed on the conditions, in order to make the plot more interesting.

And for the plot to be interesting, the Protagonist must participate in the story. Participating in the story inevitably means coming into contact with Xiao Yan.

That would attract another huge group of people accusing this of being a nanny story.

The author has read webnovels for nearly twenty years. Honestly, just in terms of character, Xiao Yan might not be at the absolute ceiling among webnovel protagonists, but he is definitely in the first tier, right?

What, you don't like Xiao Yan? You prefer Tang God King?

Let me explain roughly once more why the author says this is not a nanny story in the true sense. Any help the Protagonist gives Xiao Yan later will have a reason behind it and will be an equal exchange.

First, the reason he speaks up for Xiao Yan during the Three-Year Agreement is because Xiao Yong of the Xiao Family helped Chen Yang. All the help he gives the Xiao Family and Xiao Yan in Wutan City, including later stopping Soul Hall from taking Xiao Zhan away, is to repay Xiao Yong's kindness!

Second, when the Protagonist helps Xiao Yan later, it is only to maximize his own benefits. For example, if he helps Xiao Yan obtain Heavenly Flames, the Protagonist will obtain even stronger Heavenly Flames, and so on...

Also, this book has multiple female leads. Basically, aside from Xiao Xun'er, Nalan Yanran, and minor supporting characters such as Xiao Yu and Xiao Mei, he will take them all!

Furthermore, as of the time I added this note, this book has already surpassed a thousand bookmarks. So the people who dislike nanny stories should only be a scattered few, right?

And among Battle Through the Heavens fanfics released during the same period, my ranking on the new books list is also the highest.

That's all. I've rambled on for a bit. It's free anyway, so those who enjoy it can turn the page and read the next chapter. Those who do not can go read the other current stories handing Yun Yun out as a wife or reincarnating as Yun Shan. I believe those who dislike the Protagonist being a nanny should like Crazy Brother's work!
