RNP Chapter 1 All Eyes Are on Me
Chapter 1 All Eyes Are on Me
[Question: If a modern person travels back to ancient times, what method can they use to understand the martial arts manuals in a novel? Urgent!]
Located in Dali, at the foot of Wuliang Mountain, deep within the blessed land of Langhuan.
The stone chamber was quiet and secluded, with the sound of flowing water coming from afar, making the place seem like another world.
Russell sat cross-legged on a futon, shirtless, with a crackling campfire in front of him. The flames licked at the grilled fish skewered on the branches, and drops of oil fell into the fire, sparking tiny embers.
He rested his chin on one hand and held a scroll in the other, staring at the bright red jade carving of Li Canghai in front of him with a look of despair.
That's not right!
Shouldn't the progress bar have popped up after he touched the manual, and then after a little grinding he would be invincible, finally triggering the CG of collecting beauties and sleeping together?
How come he can't even understand it?
That's not how it is on the wood in the corner!
I cannot accept this situation!
System! System, say something!
Help!
"well……"
After a long silence, Russell slumped his shoulders and let out a long sigh. Well, there was nothing he could do if he didn't accept it.
Clearly, he is a time traveler, and a time traveler with a system.
Before transmigrating, he was a landlord who made a living by collecting rent. He did nothing all day except practice his family's boxing manual. He ate porridge and steamed buns. Until one day ago, he got a system.
However, this broken system can neither add points nor accept quests to obtain rewards. For the time being, it has no use other than taking him through different worlds.
Well, the location of the journey is unpredictable. Like this time, he was knocked into the air. If there hadn't been a pool of water below, he would have died before he even got started.
So, what method should he use to master the martial arts techniques on these two scrolls?
The Lingbo Weibu (a martial arts technique) was alright, at least it came with step diagrams, so you could at least imitate it a bit. But what about the Beiming Divine Skill? He really couldn't understand a single thing about it!
You can't just take it out and ask someone else to teach him, would that make you a complete idiot...?
Just as Russell was starting to struggle with how to find Qiao Feng and ask for his help, a sudden voice echoed in his mind.
[System notification: Xiao Yan, Zhang Xiaofan, Xiao Yu, Han Li, and Luo Su have joined the chat group]
Welcome to the All-Heavens Chat Group! You are now the 5th member. Your nickname is "Russell".
[Note: Chatting involves risks, and transactions require caution. The purpose of this group is solely for heroes from all realms to exchange ideas, learn from each other, and progress together. There is currently no accountability mechanism. Please carefully verify requests from other group members.]
Chat... in a chat group!?
Russell raised an eyebrow. Before he could recover from this unexpected encounter, a second surprise followed.
【Ding】
[The host has come into contact with the story character Xiao Yan (Gold). The current causal connection is 0%, triggering a lottery draw. Do you wish to draw now?]
[The host has come into contact with the story character Zhang Xiaofan (purple). The current causal connection is 0%, triggering a lottery draw. Do you wish to draw now?]
[The host has come into contact with the story character Cheng Xiaoyu (Blue). The current causal connection is 0%, triggering a lottery draw. Do you wish to draw now?]
[The host has come into contact with the story character Han Li (Jin). The current causal connection is 0%, triggering a lottery draw. Do you wish to draw now?]
Russell blinked. So this is how the system is used?
……
The Xiao family of Dou Qi Continent.
While grimacing and soaking in the Foundation Building Elixir tub, Xiao Yan momentarily forgot the pain in his body and wondered if he was hallucinating because he hadn't slept well the night before.
He understood chat groups, and he could roughly guess what "all the heavens and myriad worlds" meant.
But what's the deal with both of these combined? How many QQ coins did Lao Ma sell? Has his business grown that big?
Jackie Chan Adventures World, Hong Kong.
In the room, the little girl stared intently at the virtual screen in front of her. If you looked closely into her eyes, you would see that she was not afraid at all because of the supernatural phenomenon; instead, she was full of excitement.
Because this is just...so cool!
This is the life she wants!
Xiaoyu: "@All members, is this a superpower? Or is it some kind of high-tech stuff? Like in Iron Man?"
Xiao Yan: "There are Iron Mans in other worlds too? Is Marvel that popular?"
If Russell was excited, Xiao Yan was bewildered, and Xiao Yu was excited, then Zhang Xiaofan was genuinely terrified.
On Dazhu Peak, in the black bamboo forest, Zhang Xiaofan tightened his grip on the axe, his Adam's apple bobbed, and a slight chill ran down his spine.
Who is Iron Man? Which martial arts hero's nickname is it?
What are superpowers and high technology?
Could this be some kind of evil magic used on him by a demonic cultist?
Zhang Xiaofan was somewhat at a loss when a pop-up window on the panel caught his attention—
[Group notification: Member Han Li has changed his nickname to Li Feiyu]
Xiao Yan: "?"
Xiaoyu: "?"
Russell: "?"
Xiao Yan: "Wait, buddy, are you already putting on an alias?"
Li Feiyu: "..."
In the world of Mortal Cultivation, in a cave on the thirty-ninth floor of the Chaotic Star Sea Star City, Han Li raised his hand and rubbed his temples.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward; he hadn't expected that changing his nickname would trigger a group chat notification.
However, it's no wonder he's cautious. He has everything ready and is about to form his core, so he can't afford to make any mistakes.
He was suddenly pulled into this so-called chat group. Now he neither knew the details nor how to leave, so he prepared to change his name to a different one when no one was paying attention in order to protect himself. However, he did not expect to trigger a group notification. Now the whole chat group knew that his name was Han Li.
Well, what's meant to be will be. Since things have come to this point, let's show him what kind of magical place this chat group is.
Han Li: "I have many enemies, and I fear I may be plotted against. Changing my name is a last resort. Fellow Daoists, I hope you will understand."
Xiao Yan: "He sounds very scholarly. Could he be from ancient times? Don't worry, we're probably from completely different worlds, so there's no need to be so wary."
Not in the same world?
Upon seeing these words, both Zhang Xiaofan and Han Li felt a jolt in their hearts.
As the only two pure-blooded ancient people in the group, these two have not experienced the baptism of the information explosion era.
They don't even understand chat groups, let alone the concept of countless worlds.
Han Li, in particular, was always cautious. His first reaction was that someone was plotting something, and even after calming down, he didn't dare to believe it easily.
After all, he couldn't imagine what level of attainment was required to create a magical artifact that would allow different beings from different worlds to communicate.
Fortunately, since it's a chat group, we'll inevitably have to communicate in the future. Whether the claims about the heavens are true or false will eventually come to light.
Before confirming the truth of the matter, he decided to continue the conversation in accordance with what the other party was saying.
Compared to Han Li's brainstorming session, Zhang Xiaofan's reaction was much more natural. He was only stunned for a few seconds before asking the question that had been bothering him.
Zhang Xiaofan: "Are you telling the truth? This really isn't some kind of sorcery by the demonic cult?"
Huh? You just asked that so directly? Where did this silly boy come from?
Faced with Zhang Xiaofan's statement, Han Li silently deleted the polite words he had typed halfway through and continued to observe the situation.
"Better to die than for me," so this fellow Daoist Zhang has at least made a contribution to the righteous path.
In the world of Tianlong, Russell, seeing that the conversation had progressed to this point, knew it was time for him to reveal his divine power to the world.
Russell: "All eyes on me! I have an announcement to make!"
I'm about to start showing off!
