I Can Achieve My Goals By Setting Them

Evening twilight descended, bringing a touch of summer coolness to Small River Village.

"Er Gou, Er Gou!"

A frantic voice reached Chen Xuan's ears through his haze.

"Who is it, disturbing my sweet dreams this early in the morning!"

Chen Xuan was about to get angry, but at that moment, he felt a dryness in his throat and a surge of sour liquid in his stomach.

Hungry, so hungry.

An unimaginable hunger filled his entire perception.

"Holy crap!"

"How long have I been asleep!"

The thought instantly appeared, filled with confusion. He had only slept, so why was he so hungry? It felt as if he hadn't eaten for days.

As the confusion arose, his vision gradually cleared, and a dark, large head came into view.

"Er Gou, that's great, you're finally awake!!"

The dark head saw him open his eyes and spoke with excitement.

"You are?"

Chen Xuan was a bit bewildered, but at this moment, a sharp pain instantly shot through his brain. Waves of information surged into his mind like a tide, almost causing him to faint again.

It wasn't until a moment later that his consciousness gradually returned.

However, a wry smile appeared on his face the moment he recovered.

"Damn it, this transmigration!"

Chen Xuan couldn't help but curse inwardly.

That's right, at this moment, he had transmigrated from the 21st century to the body of a fourteen-year-old kid named Er Gou in a place called Small River Village in Ji Bei Kingdom.

Of course, if that were the only thing, he wouldn't be smiling wryly.

Transmigration was something countless people dreamed of.

But the key issue was the state of this world he had transmigrated into.

Although his previous life was tough, at least he didn't have to worry about food and drink. But in this world, people could truly starve to death.

Putting everything else aside, someone in this Small River Village, where his previous body lived, had starved to death just yesterday. And according to his memories, people starved to death almost every year.

This year, due to the crops in the fields being affected by disaster, even more people had starved to death.

His previous body had no food at home and had to go fishing in the river. As a result, he didn't catch any fish, and it seemed something had grabbed his foot. Coupled with prolonged hunger, he had no strength to struggle and was directly drowned alive, which led to his transmigration.

"Are you okay, Er Gou!"

The dark head leaned closer again, looking worried.

At this moment, Chen Xuan finally saw the entire body of the dark head. It was a dark and thin young man, about a head taller than this body, and his physique was also much larger.

Seeing the figure, the person's identity naturally appeared in his mind.

Chen Er Zhuang, this body's older cousin.

It was precisely because Chen Er Zhuang pulled with all his might that he was dragged ashore.

"Er Zhuang Ge, thank you so much this time. I'm fine now, let's go back!"

Chen Xuan spoke, his figure struggling to stand up.

However, just as he stood up, his body swayed and he almost fell to the ground, barely managing to steady himself.

"Oh, oh, oh, let's go, otherwise Third Aunt will be worried too!"

Chen Er Zhuang nodded his big, simple head.

The two then walked towards the village.

Entering the village.

The two separated, and Chen Xuan walked alone towards the home in his memory.

In his mind, he was constantly sorting through the memories of his previous self.

It was clear, however, that his previous self was just a little kid in the village and didn't know much information.

The only thing he knew was that this place was called the Ji Bei Kingdom, and their village was called Small River Village. Other than that, he knew nothing.

"Ji Bei Kingdom, this shouldn't be a historical timeline."

Chen Xuan murmured softly, searching through his memories of his previous life, but he didn't find any historical period with the country name "Ji Bei". Undoubtedly, this was a completely new world.

And this was undoubtedly not good news.

Not being a historical timeline also meant he would be even more unfamiliar.

"Sigh, I should still think about how to eat my fill in the future!"

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan couldn't help but murmur.

And just as his words fell.

Buzz!

A ripple spread out, and in the next moment, a line of golden text instantly appeared before him.

Target: Eat your fill (To be confirmed)

Path 1: The pharmacy in the west of Green Mountain City is short of a herb-picking boy. Arrive at Green Mountain City within three days, join the pharmacy in the west of the city, and become a herb-picking boy.
Path 2: Green Mountain City, Fierce Mountain Hall is recruiting members. Arrive at Green Mountain City within two days, offer one tael of silver to Steward Chen, and you can join Fierce Mountain Hall.
Path 3...!

The text flickered rapidly, and at the same instant, streams of information surged into Chen Xuan's mind.

Chen Xuan's steps, which had been moving forward, halted in that instant.

"This, what is this?"

His expression was first stunned, then quickly turned into ecstasy.

Especially after he had fully absorbed the information, the joy could no longer be contained.

A golden finger.

At this moment, accompanying his transmigration, the golden finger had arrived as promised.

Moreover, this golden finger of his seemed extremely heaven-defying.

That's right, it was extremely heaven-defying.

Its ability was singular: he could set a goal, and the golden finger would provide the means to achieve that goal.

No matter what the goal, no matter what the requirement, the golden finger would provide the path.

Just like when he had thought about eating his fill, the system directly gave him a path, and it was an extremely feasible one.

Such an ability was undoubtedly extremely exaggerated.

And extremely terrifying.

Theoretically, as long as he wanted to achieve any goal, the golden finger was enough to give him a feasible method.

With a thought in his mind.

The next moment, the text flickered.

Goal: Become a god (To be set)

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path: Seven days from now, a hundred miles outside Small River Village, lightning will strike for three days. Endure the lightning for three days without dying, and you can become a god."

As Chen Xuan's thoughts moved, the text immediately changed.

But looking at this change, the corner of Chen Xuan's mouth couldn't help but twitch.

A hundred miles, lightning for three days.

Survive for three days.

Alright, if he were to follow this plan, Chen Xuan felt that his probability of death was almost ninety-nine percent.

With a thought, new text appeared.

Goal: Safely become a god (To be set)

"Loading successful!"

"Path One: Three thousand meters deep in the Endless Sea, there is a green lotus that sustains life and is immortal. Obtain the green lotus and bathe under lightning for three days to become a god!"

Goal: Safely become a god using currently achievable methods (To be set)

"Loading!"

"Loading successful!"

"Path One: Seven days from now, a hundred miles outside Small River Village, lightning will strike for three days. Stand under the lightning, visualize the lightning with your divine soul, and after three days, comprehend the true meaning of lightning to safely become a god."

As lines of text appeared, Chen Xuan's mouth twitched even more.

Through repeated attempts, Chen Xuan also understood that achieving his goal at his current level was likely wishful thinking. If he added a prefix, the system would also add a prefix, creating a dead loop.

Shaking his head, Chen Xuan understood that this was likely a limitation of the system.

It was best not to set the goal too high, otherwise the death rate would also increase accordingly.

For him now, even just eating his fill had a considerable death rate in the available paths.

Green Mountain City was not that easy to enter.

It was about a hundred and eighty miles away from Small River Village, requiring about two days of walking.

To arrive within two or three days, he would basically have to set off now. A small child setting off in the evening, Chen Xuan felt that he would likely not see the sun tomorrow.

However, this was also normal. His goal was not just to eat his fill now, but to eat his fill in the future. This difficulty was indeed high given his current family situation.
