The Genshin Guard Reincarnated in Another World

Guangming City, the scorching sun hangs high!

Ye Li stands among a group of youths in an open space in the south of the city.

He is thin, dressed in coarse linen clothes and cloth shoes, his delicate face furrowed with brows tightly knit, as if enduring immense pain!

A gentle breeze brushes his face, bringing a hint of coolness that slightly eases the constant, stabbing pain radiating from his brain under the sweltering sun!

At this moment, memories of his past life are surging through his mind, with one unanswerable question after another piecing together in his head.

Did Kobe really die in a helicopter crash?

Between the Dragon Race and the rented protagonist, who is more of a coward?

Who is stronger, Ye Tiandi or Huang Tiandi?

Between Snow Sword Stride and Reverend Insanity, which is the true fifth classic?

Why are Wuthering Waves and Minecraft inferior to HoYoverse games and Mini World?

Is the Chibaku Tensei in Naruto a rip-off of Planet Devastation?

Questions reminiscent of Approaching Science rise like bubbles from Ye Li's mind.

After a long while, he slowly exhales a breath of turbid air, his eyes finally regaining clarity!

Ye Li, a 21st-century internet traffic streamer, relied on spouting controversial nonsense to attract views.

Through his constant trolling, his livestream room was perpetually filled with countless trolls who would take his outrageous claims and throw them onto major platforms like Tieba, Douyin, Bilibili, Zhihu, Red, and Weibo for round after round of roasting.

Like arguing for the "invincibility of gag characters" in debate circles, calling Evangelion the most overrated show on Bilibili, claiming streamers are just internet beggars on Douyin, or trolling the anti-Mihoyo crowd...

All his past deeds could be described as deeply sinful.

Over the years, he had spouted at least eighty to a hundred "scriptural" quotes, focusing entirely on whatever generated the most traffic.

Facts proved that while trolling was "4m," it really could "explode rice."

After a series of operations, by inciting conflict, he actually managed to make money on the internet.

As for why he transmigrated...

Naturally, it was because he had nothing left to do, and at the urging of netizens, he bit a lighter.

Immediately after, amidst the cold sweat of netizens shouting "Ye Li is actually dead," he successfully managed to kill himself.

What followed was incredibly smooth.

After experiencing the two events of "Ye Li's fake death" and "born of a mother," he successfully reincarnated into this world.

But his memories seemed to be stuck in a traffic jam, only recovering after he reached adulthood at eighteen.

Only then did he understand the awkward situation his current self was facing.

In the world he belongs to, everyone receives a "Trait" on the day they turn eighteen.

Depending on their experiences before eighteen, they awaken different Traits.

A farmer might awaken the [Hardworking] Trait, increasing their tolerance for hardship.

A rich person might awaken the [Slave Owner] Trait, which has a +50% effect on individuals with less wealth than themselves.

Some are born with incredible kidney power and gain the [King of Handjobs] Trait, +100% stamina!

But Ye Li... has no Trait!

Just like those who don't have a camera lens on their face after adulthood, he is already an adult and still has no Trait.

This is a very rare special case, analogous to impotence, with a lower probability than the appearance of a blue Trait; one could simply declare him a waste.

Thinking of his current awkward situation, a look of worry inevitably appears between his brows.

Just as a certain Blue Silver King master said: There are no useless Traits in the world, only useless individuals!

But he doesn't even have a Trait; he can't even find the direction to get started.

Looking around, Ye Li only feels like a husky mixed into a crowd.

Unlike those around him, before his memories recovered, he didn't make a scene despite having no Trait, instead disguising himself as having the green Trait [Sharp-witted]!

The effect of this Trait is +30% comprehension, providing a significant boost to learning ability.

The reason he disguised it was that detection-type Traits are one in ten thousand, and most are verified based on an individual's performance.

Comprehension is something so mysterious that as long as he insisted on it, no one would know.

"How did I dare to disguise my Trait and sneak into the Azure Dragon Gang's recruitment site? If discovered, my tendons will definitely be severed."

Ye Li cursed his memory-less self for being too reckless; being a loser would have been better than being a cripple.

At this moment, he is mixed in with a group of youths, all looking at the tall, burly man standing eight feet tall in front of them.

Two suns burn fiercely overhead, scorching all living things and making the ground beneath their feet piping hot!

The burly man scans the circle of youths, his tone cold and hard: "The Azure Dragon Gang is a major force in Guangming City. It is not easy to join us; talent is the most basic requirement."

"And I am the one in charge of verifying you within the gang. My name is Feng Yue, you can call me Instructor Feng!"

"The fact that you newcomers were selected means you all possess traits beneficial to martial cultivation; even the lowest-tier white Common traits provide some growth to your practice."

"Now, I will call your names. Come forward to collect your corresponding fist manuals or sword scriptures. Once you have received your external techniques, I will teach you our sect's body-tempering method, the Azure Dragon Force!"

Having said that, Feng Yue called out, "Lu Xiuyuan!"

As his name was summoned, a youth with a proud expression stepped forward quickly.

Meanwhile, the sound of discussion inevitably arose among the youths below:

"It's that genius who awakened a blue trait!"

"That's right, I heard he awakened the blue Rare trait, Master of Ninjutsu; he's naturally suited for practicing hard-style techniques!"

"How enviable. The chance of awakening a blue trait is one in ten thousand. When will I ever be able to possess one!"

Listening to the whispers of the surrounding classic omniscient bystanders, Ye Li recalled the specific effects of this trait he had learned about previously.

[Master of Ninjutsu · Blue]: Can block out physical and mental pain; even if sliced by a thousand blades, one treats it as nothing!

So it's a cuck trait... Ye Li thought to himself.

Because the prerequisite for awakening this trait is: having spent three years in a one-sided emotional devotion without feeling any sorrow!

Simply put, one must be a persistent simp for three years to awaken this trait!

After all, any living creature will feel pain and fear when suffering injury!

But a cuck will not have those feelings!

This matter is also recorded in Rent-a-Girlfriend!

It makes perfect sense!

As Lu Xiuyuan's name was called, the youth detached himself from the crowd with a proud expression on his face, walking up to the burly man amidst the envious gazes of those around him.

Staring at Lu Xiuyuan, a trace of a smile appeared on Feng Yue's face:

"Your trait is suited for hard-style techniques. This Turtle-Cracking Hard Armor has the highest compatibility with you!"

Lu Xiuyuan took the green-bound book from Feng Yue's hands with high expectations and immediately walked to the side, unable to wait to begin studying it.

"Next, Wei Li!"

Following the voice, another youth who possessed the Fleet Foot trait stepped forward!

[Fleet Foot · Green]: Basic walking/running speed +30%, stamina consumption slightly reduced!

Under Ye Li's gaze, the youth named Wei Li received a leg technique manual titled Formless Movement Technique.

These techniques were not expensive; a typical family of three could purchase one with a year's savings.

However, only these factions could provide such a large quantity of techniques tailored to individual traits.

"Next, Ye Li!"
