"Young Brother, I'll leave you here."
Under the gates of Wutan City, a burly man with a seven-gold-star badge on his chest cupped his hands toward a youth with short hair and slightly ill-fitting clothes.
"Thank you, Big Brother Xiao Yong, for the clothes and for escorting me all this way. I will surely repay you in the future!" Chen Yang bowed and cupped his hands somewhat awkwardly toward Xiao Yong, who was carrying a long spear.
"Haha... It's nothing, really." Xiao Yong didn't take Chen Yang's promise of repayment to heart. In his eyes, Chen Yang was just an ordinary person without even a sliver of Dou Qi. He had helped on a whim simply because Chen Yang looked to be about the same age as his son.
Reaching out to pat Chen Yang on the shoulder, Xiao Yong hoisted his spear onto his shoulder and turned to walk into Wutan City.
Chen Yang, however, stood at the city gate for a long time, his mind filled with a thousand thoughts.
About two and a half hours ago, he was just an ordinary university student on Earth. Just because he had invited a senior sister out for a bike ride on the weekend, he was sent to the world of "battle through the heavens" by a hundred-ton truck on the national highway.
When he woke up, he was left with nothing but his underwear. Fortunately, he encountered Xiao Yong, who was out on a Family mission; otherwise, he wouldn't even have known where he had transmigrated to.
After learning that this was the world of Dou Po and that Xiao Yong was a member of the Xiao Family in Wutan City, Chen Yang lied, saying he came from Qingshan Town, his parents had been killed by Demonic Beasts in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, and he planned to seek refuge with relatives in Wutan City.
Thus, Xiao Yong gave him clothes and shoes and brought him to Wutan City, leading to the scene just now.
In truth, having arrived in Wutan City, Chen Yang didn't know what to do next. He had no money and no strength. As an ordinary person in Wutan City, he didn't even know if he could survive until tomorrow.
"Sigh... Even though I've transmigrated, I wasn't even given a System."
Chen Yang shook his head helplessly and stepped through the gates of Wutan City, preparing to see if he could find some work.
Only when he could get some money and solve his survival issues would he be qualified to think about cultivating Dou Qi.
Since he had come to this world where Dou Qi had reached its Peak, he had to at least try the feeling of flying freely, right?
Just as Chen Yang's feet fully stepped into Wutan City, a sudden "ding" sounded in his mind.
[Ding!]
[Detected that the host has set foot on the first map of this world. The Map's Strongest System is activated!]
[Binding System...]
[Binding complete!]
"I knew it! How could a transmigrator not have a System!!!" Chen Yang was overjoyed. He moved to the side slightly so as not to block pedestrians and began to explore the System's functions in his mind.
After some investigation, Chen Yang understood the System's capabilities.
With the System, every time Chen Yang stepped onto a new map, he would directly become the strongest person on that map.
Furthermore, he would surpass the original strongest individuals on the map in all aspects, including Dou Qi cultivation, Alchemy Skill, Soul Power, Cultivation Techniques, Dou Techniques, weapons, and equipment.
There were two triggering conditions, or rather, limitations.
First, the map must be 'lit up' by this world's Child of Luck, Xiao Yan, before it can be included in the statistical range.
Second, people who are not native to the map are not included in the statistics, with the exception of the protagonist, Xiao Yan!
For example, Xiao Xun Er, Ling Ying, and Venerable Yao Yao Chen currently in Wutan City would not be included in the statistics.
However, if Xiao Yan obtained the Green Lotus Core Flame in the Tagor Desert, Chen Yang would also obtain an even more powerful Heavenly Flame!
"That's not a big problem. I'll just follow my fellow countryman around and witness the elegance of the powerhouses on the Fighting Qi Continent."
If he had transmigrated to Douluo Dalu and been given such a System, after instantly becoming a Title Douluo in Saint Spirit Village, his first move would be to kill Xiao Ling and Tang Hao.
But it was different with Xiao Yan. Firstly, Xiao Yan was a genuine fellow countryman, and secondly, Chen Yang quite liked Xiao Yan's style of doing things. Among protagonists, the ceiling for character was none other than Emperor Yan.
Taking a step back, given that Xiao Yan hadn't yet reached the Three-Year Agreement, when his engagement was broken, Chen Yang only needed to offer a few words of comfort. In the future, he could at least become the City Lord of Wutan City. After Xiao Yan became an Emperor, there might even be a place for him in the Major Thousand Worlds.
[Ding!]

Swish!
