Zhou Ning couldn't help but be shocked. He had painstakingly configured a bunch of talents perfectly suited for martial arts masters, only for the system to give him the year 2022? This damn simulator!

April 7, 2022: You arrived on the streets of a village and realized you were mistaken. This wasn't a village, but a small county town called Gaochun. It was just that due to limited productivity, ancient buildings were everywhere. This was a world similar to ancient China, with villagers dressed in ancient attire coming and going everywhere. Had you transmigrated to ancient times?

As a transmigrator, your attire quickly drew the attention of the surrounding populace. A constable immediately came up to question you. You upheld the excellent tradition of transmigrators and fabricated a story that sounded rather implausible: a wanderer returning home to his roots from a foreign land. To your surprise, however, the other party actually believed it. The subsequent prompt in your mind immediately dumbfounded you: Your reputation with the Daqian faction has reached Neutral. Holy cow? subway_old_man_phone.jpg.

Subsequently, after some research, you saw your attribute panel and received a novice quest: requiring you to join a sect. Your attributes were quite luxurious, with Strength and Luck both reaching the maximum of 100 points, while your identity was that of an ordinary citizen of the Daqian Kingdom.

As a transmigrator steeped in transmigration culture, you naturally quickly thought of a keyword: System! Could it be that your luck had finally turned, and you had a system?!

April 8, 2022: Perhaps due to sheer luck, you coincidentally rescued the county magistrate's young son. Thus, with the county magistrate's help, you temporarily settled down in this small county town and got a new job—a constable. After some investigation, you learned that this was a country called Daqian, with a vast territory, roughly twice the size of the Ming Dynasty in your previous life. The place you were in was just a small city.

April 9, 2022: Today, you made another new discovery: martial arts! After re-encountering the official from before, you learned that he was called Zhu Baokun, from the Penglai Sect, and was skilled in using a single saber. You couldn't help but feel pleasantly surprised; it turned out that martial arts existed in this world.

The martial arts world in this world has its own circle, and it is very difficult for ordinary people to enter. What surprised you even more was that this discovery also triggered a new player quest for you: Join a sect. After your understanding, there are three sects nearby, namely the Haisha Gang, the Juhai Gang, and the Penglai Sect. The Haisha Gang is skilled in long weapons, such as forks and long spears; the Juhai Gang is skilled in light body techniques and water combat. The Penglai Sect, on the other hand, is skilled in saber techniques and hidden weapons.

You weren't very interested in these three sects because they sounded too much like cannon fodder. Fortunately, your luck was pretty good. A random Taoist you met on the road was named Qiu Chuji. He saw your aptitude and accepted you as his disciple. A new title prominently appeared behind your panel: Quanzhen Sect Fourth Generation Disciple. The quest you received was also completed accordingly.

Completing this quest rewarded you with 20,000 experience points and a secret manual called Green Snake in Both Sleeves. It sounded very high-level, and you were indeed the Child of Destiny. (You obtained the secret manual: Green Snake in Both Sleeves)

It seems the world you transmigrated to is The Legend of the Condor Heroes... At this moment, you firmly believed this. The martial arts level in this world was quite ordinary. With the help of the system, perhaps with a little effort, you could become the number one martial arts master.

April 9, 2022 - May 19, 2022: In this more than a month, Qiu Chuji taught you the Quanzhen Inner Cultivation and Quanzhen Swordplay two-piece set and then left. Before leaving, he told you that he had to return to the Quanzhen Sect and would come to find you again after some time.

The names of the Quanzhen Inner Cultivation and Quanzhen Swordplay two-piece set were unpretentious, but their effects were not bad. At least after practicing for a month, you could defeat Zhu Baokun. Of course, this was also because you had a golden finger—you discovered that the system on you was incredibly powerful, like Deep Blue, allowing you to upgrade martial arts levels by adding points with experience. This allowed your strength to advance by leaps and bounds in a short time. Now, you were almost considered the top figure in this small city, having successively captured several notorious bandits. This system could also allow you to receive many side quests; these notorious bandits were the targets of the side quests. But the only regret was that Green Snake in Both Sleeves required a considerable amount of experience, necessitating a long period of accumulation.

July 20, 2022: Your astonishing performance earned you the appreciation of your superiors. Two months later, you were transferred to Yangzhou, the prefectural seat, and became the head constable there. With a larger stage, you saw a wider range of things, and then you were truly shocked. This world was far larger than you imagined, simply a hodgepodge world composed of various familiar wuxia novel factions and characters.

In the imperial court, the Eastern and Western Depots, Six Doors, and Embroidered Uniform Guard held sway; in the pugilistic world, some people's flying daggers never missed, some people's sword from the west was unstoppable, some people sought defeat but could not find it, and some people dominated the world, with three parts of their power from the Three-Point Return to One Qi and seven parts from hard work.

There were also various well-known martial arts factions, such as the World Society, Shaolin, Wudang, Sun Moon Divine Cult, and so on.

All in all, the vastness of this world and the multitude of experts left you dumbfounded. As a low-powered small head constable, how were you supposed to get by? You couldn't help but feel a strong sense of urgency to improve your strength. Only by becoming strong, strong enough to reach the pinnacle of this world, could you truly understand the truth of this world.

August 2, 2022: Your luck returned again... During a routine patrol, you caught two small-time hoodlums who were roaming around Yangzhou stealing. On them, you found a secret manual that looked familiar to you: Secrets of Longevity. When you asked the names of these two hoodlums, you were startled again: Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling—perhaps this was the difference in destiny between a pseudo-protagonist and a Child of Destiny. You obtained the secret manual: Secrets of Longevity.

August 2, 2022 - August 30, 2022: During this month, you successively completed many side quests, desperately accumulating quest experience. This barely allowed you to gather enough experience to learn the first level of Secrets of Longevity, and you also managed to learn Green Snake in Both Sleeves.

September 1, 2022: As you enthusiastically began another patrol, you heard a voice in your mind: Xia Ke Xing open beta begins, the first batch of players is 80,000, connecting data... Data connection complete! Welcome to Xia Ke Xing.

You couldn't help but be dumbfounded. After all that, it turned out you had transmigrated into a game, just like in sword art online?

As the prompt in your mind faded, you noticed many strangely behaving players appearing around you. They descended upon this world like locusts. The way they looked at you sent a chill down your spine.
