"Ptooey, ptooey, ptooey!"
"What bad luck!"
The back mountain of Heaven Dou Royal Academy, a secluded valley.
Gu Changge emerged from a portal shimmering with starlight, his face and clothes covered in dust.
"Damn Self-Destructing Old Six and Little White, they're too damn sly!"
Gu Changge grumbled as he spoke.
But after cursing, a smile appeared on his face, "However, that damn beginner's quest is finally complete!"
Gu Changge was a transmigrator.
Eighteen years ago, he was run over by a damn truck and sent to the Douluo Continent.
Although he didn't start with the top-tier Upper Three Sects or Martial Soul Hall background.
Nor did he have the impressive Innate Full Soul Power + Twin Martial Souls configuration.
But his starting point wasn't bad either.
He was the sole heir of the Iris Duke Family, which had existed since the founding of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Although his ancestors were disappointing and lost their original duchy over two hundred years ago.
And his own good-for-nothing parents had also met their end when he was not yet six years old.
But before they died, they had found a good caretaker for Gu Changge.
That would be the renowned "Money-Sending Old Boy"... Ptooey, he meant the "Immortal-Sending Old Grandpa," the Poison Douluo, Dugu Bo.
Although he didn't know what private deals they had made.
Dugu Bo had indeed taken him in and raised him like his own grandson.
Gu Changge had also proven himself, awakening the Rift Wind Dragon Eagle Martial Soul with Innate Level Eight Soul Power during his Martial Soul awakening.
With background and talent secured, his life had been comfortable for the past eighteen years.
But that comfort was shattered six months ago.
His golden finger, "My World," which was the sandbox game MC, was launched.
He wasn't sure if it was a mutation caused by transmigration.
His MC was a little different from the pure MC game.
Besides the regular gameplay, his MC also came with a quest system.
To unlock more gameplay and mods, he had to complete quests to obtain them.
Gu Changge's beginner quest was to collect ten stacks of wood.
The reward was unlocking the Crafting Table + Steve Physique (MC Exclusive) + Survival Mode.
In other words, Gu Changge had none of these things while doing the beginner quest.
This was pure, unadulterated BS!
A block of wood in the MC World was one cubic meter.
Take oak for example; it weighed seven hundred jin alone.
Moreover, even during the day in the MC World, it wasn't safe.
There were zombies and Little Whites hiding in the woods.
As for the Self-Destructing Old Six, they were even more troublesome, completely unfazed by the sun.
So, without any buffs, he was tasked with collecting ten stacks of wood.
For Gu Changge, this was practically a disaster.
This was precisely why Gu Changge had been stuck for half a year.
Only today, using a saw from the Douluo Continent, did he collect the last piece of wood.
Unlocking the Crafting Table, Steve Physique (MC Exclusive), and Survival Mode.
Among these three rewards.
The Crafting Table was a normal crafting table.
But the Steve Physique (MC Exclusive) had a limitation.
As the name suggested, this reward could only be used in the MC World and could not be brought to the Douluo Continent.
However, besides this drawback, this Steve Physique had a hidden advantage: it could be "shared."
Anyone else he brought into the MC World.
He could share this Steve Physique with them if he wished.
This "sharing" has no upper limit on quantity.
If I want to take it back, it's also in a single thought.
So, although this reward has flaws, the flaws do not overshadow its merits.
As for the final [Survival Mode], that was a pure surprise.
What is [Survival Mode]?
Of course, it's an immortal body that allows for infinite retries, infinite revivals, and no fear of death.
The most crucial part is that the rewards for this [Survival Mode] have no restrictions.
Whether he is in the MC World or on the Douluo Continent.
As long as he dies, he will immediately revive at the location of the bed bound to the MC World.
Therefore, as soon as this reward was issued, Gu Changge immediately became arrogant.
And coincidentally, at that time, a Self-Destructing Old Six, a Creeper, crawled out of the woods.
Before [Survival Mode], if Gu Changge saw this guy, he would turn around and run without a second word.
But with [Survival Mode], that was different.
Gu Changge not only had to take the initiative to attack, but also to avenge his past humiliation.
Then, without having to worry about actually being blown to death.
Gu Changge, with his flamboyant footwork, successfully wore down that Self-Destructing Old Six.
Originally, killing it was just a matter of time.
But the infuriating thing was.
Another Little White emerged from the woods.
And shot a sneak attack at him.
Then, he was forced into a misstep.
This allowed a Creeper to catch up, stick to him, and unleash a full blast, ultimately resulting in his first death.
Although after reviving, he also pulverized that Little White who shot the sneak attack.
But the Creeper's explosion was still terrifying.
After all, there is great terror in the face of life and death. Even with the [Steve Physique] buff, the pain was almost reduced to the minimum.
But the first drop of blood in his two lives was still terrifying.
So how could Gu Changge not curse and swear?
"Changge!"
At this moment, a girl's voice came from afar: "I knew you were slacking off here again!"
The person who arrived was none other than Dugu Yan, one of Gu Changge's childhood sweethearts.
Seeing her, Gu Changge smiled: "Why do you have time to come find me now? Aren't you training with your team?"
Although the Soul Master Competition was still three years away.
The teams at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy had already been decided.
Just like in the original work, Dugu Yan was one of the team members.
"Don't even mention it!"
Dugu Yan said unhappily: "That Qin Ming is using the excuse of considering the team to force me to cooperate with Yu Tianheng. Who doesn't know what he's thinking? If he wants to fawn over the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, he can do it himself. He wants to use me, but he's dreaming!"
Because Gu Changge was entrusted to Dugu Bo to raise from a young age.
He and Dugu Yan were naturally childhood sweethearts.
Since they were childhood sweethearts, he naturally couldn't leave her to Yu Tianheng.
So, at the age when feelings began to bloom, Gu Changge decisively took her.
He thought that this way, Yu Tianheng, the so-called official match in Douluo, would no longer appear, and would not come to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
But the infuriating thing was, that guy still came last year.
And not only did he come, but he completely ignored Gu Changge's existence and arrogantly pursued Dugu Yan.
Could Gu Changge tolerate this?
Absolutely not!
He immediately chased after that guy and beat him up for a whole month.
The kind where he beat him up every time he saw him.
Then, Yu Tianheng became honest.
Originally, the matter would have ended here.
But unfortunately, Gu Changge, that shameless guy, wasn't any better.
Besides Dugu Yan, his girlfriend, her best friend Ye Lingling was also his girlfriend.
Originally, this juggling act, two-timing them.
Under the Gu family's ancestral, incredibly powerful ability.
Had already been smoothed over and settled.
Both Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had accepted it.
But when the news accidentally reached Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling's parents.
Gu Changge was in a pickle.
Dugu Bo and Ye Lingling's parents were strictly opposed, refusing to accept it.
Ye Lingling's parents were a bit more understanding. Although angry, they considered the special circumstances of their Nine Heart Begonia lineage's inheritance.
Plus, Ye Lingling was determined and had set her heart on Gu Changge.
So their anger and opposition were mostly just for show.
But the kicker was, Dugu Bo, that old geezer, was absolutely adamant.
Not only did he berate Gu Changge to no end.
Saying he had bad luck for eight lifetimes, raising Gu Changge, and even tacitly approving of his precious granddaughter for Gu Changge.
But this brat, instead, was greedy, wanting two at once.
Did he even respect me, the old grandpa who gave him a heavenly gift?
So after the incident, Dugu Bo not only kicked Gu Changge out of their house.
He also laid down a harsh ultimatum.
"If you want to marry both of them, fine!
Either you defeat me, Dugu Bo, or you endure my Jade Scale Snake Emperor Poison.
Otherwise, break up with Ye Lingling immediately and focus solely on Dugu Yan."
Well, well!
Once those words were spoken.
Ye Lingling's parents, who had only intended to put on a show, naturally couldn't hold back anymore.
"So your granddaughter Dugu Yan is precious.
Is my Lingling cheap then?"
Then, Ye Lingling's parents also laid down their ultimatum.
"Either break up with Dugu Yan.
Or defeat Ye Lingling's mother."
Ye Lingling's mother's name was Mu Qingyu.
Though her name sounded gentle.
She was a genuine she-devil.
Level eighty-three Soul Power, Martial Soul: Thunder Tyrant Dragon.
It was rumored that her ancestors had some connection with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family.
So her combat power was absolutely top-notch.
According to Ye Lingling, her mother and father, working together, had once fought to a draw against the second-in-command of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon family, Liu Erlong's father, Yu Luomian, a truly impressive feat.
So after the incident, Gu Changge was stunned, but Yu Tianheng smiled.
However, having been thoroughly beaten by Gu Changge before.
This time, Yu Tianheng had also learned to be smarter.
He no longer openly attacked Dugu Yan like before.
Instead, he opted for a roundabout strategy, using others to his advantage.
And that roundabout path was Qin Ming.
Firstly, Qin Ming was a Soul Emperor, whom Gu Changge couldn't defeat.
Secondly, he was a supervising teacher, capable of keeping Gu Changge in check.
So, he secretly approached Qin Ming and made a clandestine deal.
Then, Qin Ming, both overtly and covertly, created opportunities to matchmake Dugu Yan and Yu Tianheng, giving them chances to be alone.
"It seems my half-year of laying low has made them forget who they are!"
Gu Changge had lived two lives, but in neither of them was he one to swallow insults.
Especially not when it concerned a man's dignity.
"Oh, I was just complaining to you, don't get impulsive!"
Dugu Yan quickly grabbed his arm, turned his face towards her, and kissed his lips: "They're just playing their little games, not worth your attention."
