Wearing Achievements, Chen Yan Discharged!

Wearing achievements, Chen Yan was discharged from the hospital! In the days that followed, Chen Yan's life became disciplined and fulfilling.

Every day, aside from drinking milk and eating, he was held by his mother, Du Qionghua, and would unfailingly perform the The Four National Health Exercises of the East Continent ten times over.

Occasionally, when bored, he would focus his mind and clearly enunciate a few "Mama" or "Papa" sounds.

Each time, he would leave Du Qionghua and Chen Kefa—who visited the hospital from time to time—beaming with joy, praising him as a genius.

Chen Yan scoffed at this...

A genius?

Their perspective was too narrow.

Life slipped by quietly in this self-disciplined rhythm, and in the blink of an eye, his thirtieth day of life arrived.

As Chen Yan finished his final night feed in his mother's arms and sleepiness surged over him like a tide, two crisp, pleasant chimes rang out in his mind.

[You have persisted in self-discipline and actively fed every day, earning the achievement "Self-Disciplined Baby Boy (White)!"]

[You have practiced the The Four National Health Exercises of the East Continent for thirty consecutive days, earning the achievement "Vigorous as a Dragon and Tiger (White)!"]

It was finally here!

Chen Yan smacked his lips in satisfaction and drifted into a deep sleep with a smile on his face.

When he woke up again, the sky was already bright.

He was still lying in his familiar crib, but this time, he felt the entire world was different.

Self-discipline brings happiness!

Chen Yan immediately dove into his consciousness to check his gains.

[Self-Disciplined Baby Boy (White Achievement)]: When equipped, Qi and Blood +2 daily.

[Vigorous as a Dragon and Tiger (White Achievement)]: When equipped, Qi and Blood +1, Spirit +1 daily.

[Equip?]

"Equip! Equip all of them!"

Chen Yan shouted in his heart.

Following his thought, the two achievement icons, which were emitting a soft white light, lit up.

Immediately after, he felt an imperceptible warm current surge from deep within his body, nourishing his limbs and bones, leaving his mind feeling much clearer.

The data on the system panel changed accordingly.

[Host: Chen Yan]
[Age: 30 days]
[Cultivation: None]
[Qi and Blood: 5/100 (Qi and Blood value for an infant at the same stage is 1)]
[Spirit: 3/100 (Spirit value for an infant at the same stage is 1)]
[Charm: 80/100 (Dashing appearance)]
[Luck: 5 (Won't get teeth stuck while drinking water)]
[Physique: None]
[Skills: The Four National Health Exercises of the East Continent (300/1000)]
[Achievements: Self-Disciplined Baby Boy (White), Vigorous as a Dragon and Tiger (White)]
[Achievement Task 1: Eat on time every day. Unlock achievement [Self-Disciplined Baby Boy (Green) 30/100] after 100 consecutive days, Qi and Blood +3 daily...]
[Achievement Task 2: Learn and practice the The Four National Health Exercises of the East Continent. Unlock achievement [Vigorous as a Dragon and Tiger (Green) 30/100] after 7 consecutive days, Qi and Blood +2, Spirit +2 daily...]

Good, good, good, there are follow-ups!

Chen Yan looked at his data, his tiny mouth stretching into a toothless grin.

Just these two basic white achievements allowed him to automatically gain 3 points of Qi and Blood and 1 point of Spirit every day.

Growing at this speed, that would be 21 points of Qi and Blood and 7 points of Spirit in a week.

Who could see this and not call him a demon child descended to earth?

In this era of high martial arts, the average human physique far exceeded that of his previous life, and Du Qionghua's body had long since recovered.

However, following the East Continent tradition of postpartum confinement, she still stayed in the hospital for a full month.

On the day of discharge, Chen Kefa could not come, so he sent two young men wearing peacekeeper uniforms.

When the two saw Du Qionghua, they both respectfully called out, "Sister-in-law."

Held in his mother's arms, Chen Yan left that luxurious VIP ward for the first time.

As they sat in the car, the world outside the window flashed by.

High-rise buildings stood in rows, traffic flowed like a river, and everything was a scene of prosperity.

The streets, however, were no different from those in his previous life.

Over the past month, through conversations between his parents and nurses, as well as the news on the hospital room television, Chen Yan had finally gained a preliminary understanding of this world.

This was still Blue Star, the East Continent, and the Hua Nation.

However, the trajectory of history had veered off course a century ago.

The spiritual energy of heaven and earth had suddenly surged, ushering in a magnificent "High Martial Era."

Humanity had used ancient martial arts as a foundation to pioneer an entirely new system of martial cultivation.

From the lowest Amateur Ninth Grade to Professional Martial Artists, and then to the rare and few Grandmasters, Great Grandmasters, and even the legendary Martial Saints.

Simultaneously, spatial passages known as "Spirit Realm Rifts" appeared all over Blue Star, from which countless man-eating ferocious beasts poured forth.

Humanity had battled these beasts for a century, producing countless powerhouses, and had finally managed to stabilize their footing, forming the current stalemate between mankind and the beasts.

To unite against the threat, the entire East Continent had ceased to distinguish between nations, establishing the East Continent Alliance with the Hua Nation at its helm!

Against the backdrop of such an era, ordinary law enforcement officers were long unable to handle special incidents like "martial cultivator crimes" or "beast disturbances."

Consequently, Special Investigation Teams were established in every region.

The captains of these Special Investigation Teams were all powerful Professional Martial Artists, responsible for guarding their respective territories; they were known as the "gatekeepers of urban security" and held extraordinary status.

And his father, Chen Kefa, was precisely the captain of the Jiang City Special Investigation Team.

No wonder they could stay in a VIP maternity ward, have a dedicated nurse on twenty-four-hour duty, and why even the hospital leadership acted so reserved in front of his old man.

Chen Yan understood now; this start of his was a god-tier opening.

Just as he was secretly feeling smug, the young officer driving the car suddenly spoke, breaking the silence inside the vehicle.

"Sister-in-law, the Captain instructed us that things haven't been peaceful in the west side of the city lately. You and the baby should avoid going there, and it's best not to go out at night either."

Du Qionghua tightened her grip on Chen Yan's arm instinctively, her tone laced with worry: "Kefa mentioned it when he was home last time. Are those strange occurrences still unresolved?"

"Mhm..." The officer's expression was grave. "There have been a few more cases recently. The victims can't explain what happened to them; they just feel like they were cursed."

"We checked the surveillance footage, but captured nothing. There wasn't a single trace of any beast or martial artist at the scenes."

Supernatural events?

Chen Yan's ears twitched.

Du Qionghua felt a chill run through her heart. She looked down at her son, sculpted like jade, and felt even more uneasy.

Sensing his mother's emotions, Chen Yan curled his lip in indifference.

Isn't it just some stuff playing at being ghosts and gods?

With a thought, he pulled up his attribute panel.

Looking at his vitality and spirit, which were several times higher than those of infants his age, Chen Yan felt a sense of security.

As the days passed, the gap would only continue to widen.

Perhaps one day, he would be able to fight off ferocious beasts in the body of an infant!

Mere supernatural events were nothing to worry about.

He lifted his little head and looked at his mother's worried profile: "No worries, Mom, I'll handle it!"

Du Qionghua looked at the babbling little Chen Yan and smiled slightly.

She suddenly lowered her head, gently rubbing her cheek against his little face with a smile on her lips, and said in a coaxing tone:

"Yes, yes, our little Yan is the best. Mom will just wait for you to protect her."

???

You can understand me?!

Chen Yan's eyes widened, his mind going blank.

He felt a chill shoot from his tailbone straight to his crown. Looking at his mother's gentle, beautiful face, he felt fear for the first time.

Could it be... does my mom have a cheat too?
