"Congratulations to host Zhou Yuchen for cultivating Xingyi Boxing to the Master level. You are rewarded with 5 attribute points and one lottery chance."
In a park in Su City, a long-unheard voice echoed in Zhou Yuchen's ears as he practiced the Xingyi Three-Body Stance. His muscles trembled, bones ached, and blood surged through his body like a mighty river—a clear sign of a significant increase in his martial arts prowess.
Zhou Yuchen was completely thrilled.
Four years!
Four years had passed since he transmigrated from Earth to this parallel world, and he had finally taken the first step with the omnipotent cultivation system.
In his previous life, Zhou Yuchen was an incredibly talented programmer, serving as a project manager at a large gaming company.
At the age of thirty-five, he encountered company layoffs and initially thought it was impossible for him to be among those laid off.
However, due to Zhou Yuchen's high salary, the company was the first to dismiss him.
After leaving the gaming company, Zhou Yuchen chose to start his own business.
He teamed up with several skilled friends to establish a new gaming company.
Over five years, they developed a large-scale life simulation game—the Omnipotent Cultivation Game—which achieved immense success in the market.
Zhou Yuchen became a new sensation in the gaming market, a true billionaire.
Unfortunately, his lavish life as a rich man only lasted two years. Due to an extremely irregular lifestyle, Zhou Yuchen developed liver cancer, which was already in its late stages when discovered.
In despair, Zhou Yuchen went to a bar alone, drank himself into a stupor, and drowned on his way home.
When he woke up, he found himself reborn into the body of a young man in Xia Nation on Blue Star.
This young man was also named Zhou Yuchen, and he was the top scorer in Qingjiang Province's college entrance examination.
He did not choose Huaqing or Yanda in Yandu, but instead entered Yunhai University, which was closer to his home.
In the first semester of his sophomore year, to save his girlfriend Su Xiaoya, he beat up a rich second-generation classmate, who was diagnosed with minor injuries by the hospital.
What Zhou Yuchen didn't expect was that Su Xiaoya actually claimed at the police station that she and the rich second-generation were just playing around and that she had not been violated.
This testimony completely plunged Zhou Yuchen into an abyss.
Not only was he expelled from Yunhai University, but he was also imprisoned for one year for intentional assault.
Due to good behavior, he was released two months early.
From a favored son of heaven to a criminal, Zhou Yuchen was too ashamed to face his family, so he became a hotel waiter in Su City, which was only a hundred kilometers from Yunhai City.
He unfortunately drowned while trying to save a little girl and was then possessed by Zhou Yuchen from Earth.
When Zhou Yuchen woke up, he was shocked to discover that the omnipotent cultivation system he had created had also come with him.
After activating it, the system prompted him to choose a skill.
Given his tragic experiences in his previous life, Zhou Yuchen unhesitatingly chose Statecraft Xingyi Boxing.
He believed that a healthy body was the foundation for everything, and no matter what he did, he must first ensure his physical well-being to avoid a repeat of "dying prematurely just as one achieves success."
However, not long after, Zhou Yuchen was filled with deep regret.
The omnipotent cultivation system had a rule: one must master a skill to the Master level before being able to switch to other skills.
Boxing is different from ordinary skills; in addition to requiring extensive Statecraft knowledge, it also demands physical practice.
Even with the system's help, Zhou Yuchen found it ten times easier than others learning Xingyi Boxing, but it still took him four years to reach the Master level.
Now, he had finally seen the light at the end of the tunnel.
Player: Zhou Yuchen
Physique: 14 (Normal person 10)
Spirit: 10 (Normal person 10)
Attribute Points: 5
Skills: Xingyi Boxing (Master level 1.2%)
Items: Reward Scroll
Gazing at the attribute panel before him, Zhou Yuchen took several deep breaths, and only then did his excited emotions subside, allowing him to begin the lottery draw.
According to Zhou Yuchen's design in his previous life, skills were divided into four levels: Entry, Proficient, Master, and Grandmaster.
Aside from the Entry level, reaching the other three levels would reward players with attribute points and one lottery chance.
When his Xingyi Boxing reached the Proficient level, Zhou Yuchen was very lucky and drew a Reward Scroll, which granted him eight attribute points.
Zhou Yuchen used all eight attribute points on his physique.
This was also why he was able to cultivate Xingyi Boxing to the Master level in just four years.
With a thought from Zhou Yuchen, a giant golden roulette appeared before his eyes and quickly began to spin.
"Stop!"
The golden roulette stopped spinning, a flash of light appeared, and a scroll—True Scroll (Three Items)—appeared in Zhou Yuchen's item bar.
In the game, the True Scroll could help players verify the authenticity of an item, akin to the Fiery Golden Eyes in myths and legends.
In other words, the reward he received this time could help Zhou Yuchen inspect three items.
Excellent!
It was truly a case of getting exactly what he wished for.
Zhou Yuchen couldn't help but be overjoyed.
Today was the second day of the temple fair held on Su City's Antique Street. Yesterday, he had spotted a large porcelain jar at a street stall, believing it was very ke neng from the Ru Kiln of the Song Dynasty.
However, the vendor asked for 520,000 yuan, and Zhou Yuchen only had 400,000 yuan saved up. Coupled with his limited knowledge of antiques, he couldn't guarantee that the jar was indeed from the Ru Kiln, so he had to give up.
Now with the True Scroll, Zhou Yuchen could completely determine the quality of that large jar.
If it was truly from the Ru Kiln, he would definitely acquire this treasure, even if he had to borrow money.
After buying breakfast on the way, Zhou Yuchen returned home.
This was a slightly dilapidated residential area called Diecui Community, but its location was excellent, only about five kilometers from the city center.
Zhou Yuchen rented the sixth floor of Building No. 2, which included an attic, with a total area of about 120 square meters, and the rent was 28,000 yuan per year.
The main reason he rented such a house was to set up a study in the attic.
Zhou Yuchen knew very well that after obtaining the omnipotent cultivation system, his future would be smooth sailing.
However, to achieve the greatest success, he had to work even harder than in his previous life.
Over the past four years, Zhou Yuchen had read countless books, covering various fields such as Finance, management, computer science, communications, radio, semiconductors, and artificial intelligence.
His goal was to minimize the time it would take for his other skills to reach the Master level once his Xingyi Boxing reached the Master level and the omnipotent cultivation system was fully activated.
The more he learned, the higher Zhou Yuchen's starting point would be, and the easier his path to mastery would become.
Currently, his bookshelf already held over three hundred books.
Whether it was thanks to the original owner's blessing or because the two souls had completely merged, enhancing his spiritual power, Zhou Yuchen surprisingly gained the ability of photographic memory.
If not for the profound content of many books, which required him to listen to online lecture videos, the number of books Zhou Yuchen could have read would have at least tripled or quadrupled given his reading speed.
After breakfast, showering, and changing clothes, Zhou Yuchen grabbed his bank card and rode his beloved electric bike towards Antique Street.
