Chapter 1: Newbie Gift Pack, Double Pupils
Cangzhou Continent, Great Xia Empire.
In the prince’s bedchamber, Qin Bei let out a sigh.
He had just crossed over, and after unraveling the current situation, he couldn’t help but feel a mix of emotions.
Right now, he was the 108th child of Emperor Xia of the Great Xia Dynasty. One couldn’t help but marvel at how delightful it was to be an emperor in the world of cultivation—living long, robust, and the three thousand beauties in the harem were mere child’s play.
His previous self had desperately tried to prove he wasn’t a worthless prince and had foolishly ventured alone into the Monster Beast Mountain Range last night. As a result, he was pursued and nearly killed by the monsters lurking outside, ending with his cultivation foundation completely ruined. From then on, he became a genuine good-for-nothing.
Thankfully, every prince had a shadow guard, which saved him from worrying about his life.
However, the once-ignored previous self now found himself without cultivation, and the inner demons erupted instantaneously, leading to the demise of this young man who was barely twenty.
Qin Bei observed the beauty sitting beside his bed, wiping her tears alone, and his heart ached as he sighed again.
“Mother,” Qin Bei softly called out.
The woman quickly turned away to wipe away her tears, and when she faced him again, a smile adorned her face.
“Xiao Bei, you’ve finally woken up! I’ll go fetch the imperial physician.”
“Mother, no need! I’m fine now; it’s just my cultivation…” Qin Bei’s tone fell flat. Even though he had transmigrated, the issue of his cultivation had not improved.
“It’s good that you’re alive! Please, don’t think of anything dark again; you scared me to death! Don’t worry, mother will definitely find a way to help you recover.”
Ling Fei said this, yet deep down she knew this was a tough challenge.
“Rest assured, Mother! I won’t lose hope again. I’ll definitely take revenge!” Qin Bei asserted with determination.
“That monster is dead; great revenge has been taken.” Ling Fei assumed Qin Bei was speaking about the beast.
Unbeknownst to her, Qin Bei referred to someone entirely different; however, at this moment, he himself didn’t even know who it was.
His mother thought this was simply an accident, but as a detective enthusiast in his previous life, Qin Bei held a different view.
The shadow guard should have been by the prince’s side at all times. Despite Qin Bei lacking talent and favor among the princes, the shadow guard was absolutely loyal, so any neglect or trouble was unfathomable. Why then did the shadow guard arrive so late during his reckless solo excursion last night? Surely there was a reason behind it.
However, the shadow guard had already been summoned away by Emperor Xia, and it was unclear when they would return. It seemed Emperor Xia had some suspicions brewing as well.
Just as Qin Bei pondered how to break this current deadlock, a cold voice resonated in his mind.
“System? Hmm~” Qin Bei nodded. It seemed that those who crossed over were destined for a “golden finger,” and he wasn’t merely a host but the actual master—the joy!
“Bind!”
“Tell me, what can you do?”
“Wait, I gotta give you money?”
“Oh~ Not bad! Now, hand over the newbie gift pack, please.” Qin Bei stated it rather confidently, and surprisingly, the system complied.
Qin Bei visualized claiming it in his mind, thinking that at the very least the newbie gift pack should catapult him a few cultivation levels.
Currently, he was only at the seventh level of body tempering; jumping straight to the Qi training realm wouldn’t be too much to ask!
However, upon seeing the items in the newbie gift pack, he fell utterly dumbfounded.
“This… This is way too generous…”
Qin Bei was all too familiar with Double Pupils; he distinctly remembered that phrase, “Double Pupils are the path to invincibility.”
Eagerly, he activated it the instant he received it. One glance and the entire world morphed—things previously obscured were now laid bare under the sight of the Double Pupils.
But after spotting his mother, Qin Bei quickly withdrew his gaze…
“Alas, my biggest dilemma is that my foundation has been wrecked, leaving me unable to cultivate.”
With that thought in mind, Qin Bei began to search the system mall.
…
The more Qin Bei browsed, the more astonished he became. Many items here surpassed those of the Great Xia Royal Family—even things that the royal family couldn’t access were available here! If he had enough Krypton Gold Points, he could trade for them all.
Finally, Qin Bei found his target.
