Looking at the task panel floating before him, Zhang Chi stood frozen in place.
His fingers trembled slightly, unable to believe the images displayed on the light screen.
Just as Zhang Chi's eyes began to bloodshot and redden, the light screen in front of him began to ripple like water.
It was as if Zhang Chi's life had hit the fast-forward button, beginning to play out within the light screen.
[Age 0: You are reincarnated into the Douluo World.]
[Age 1: Learn the local language.]
[Age 2: Develop in a low-profile manner, while learning about the outside World by listening to others' conversations.]
[Age 3: While wandering around the village, you see the constantly drinking Tang Hao and Tang San, who has already begun taking the initiative to handle household chores. Based on Tang Hao's unchanging appearance and attire, combined with the exquisite two-story wooden house where the two of them live, you judge that this is the anime version of the Douluo World. You feel incredibly excited about this. If the power level displayed in the novel version of the Douluo World is like a wuxia World that has just come into contact with extraordinary power, then the anime version of Douluo is truly worthy of the name fantasy. At this moment, you already possess the ambition to become a god.]
[Age 4: You begin reading the books your father brings back, beginning to gain a deeper understanding of this World. At the same time, you begin to tentatively exercise without harming yourself.]
[Age 5: Reading and exercising...]
[Age 6: It seems Heaven has played a joke on you. Despite silently practicing sickle usage techniques, you fail to inherit your father's mutated sickle Spirit as you had hoped. Under the witness of Master Su Yuntao, you successfully awaken the Blue Silver Grass Spirit, and after testing, your innate spirit power is less than half a level. Half a level of innate spirit power and the trash Spirit Blue Silver Grass become labels on you that you cannot wash off.]
[Even so, you still do not choose to give up cultivation. After obtaining the meditation method from your father, Zhang Su, you begin to constantly cultivate at home. Your mother is very worried about you, but she does not know how to persuade you.]
After seeing this content, Zhang Chi turns his head to look at his mother, who is washing dishes in the room, and whispers a word.
"Mom..."
...
[Age 7: The Blue Silver Grass covering the mountains and plains becomes your natural mimicry cultivation site. Your Spirit Elder father also sends you some nourishing items from time to time. Coupled with your constant hard work in cultivation, your spirit power finally successfully reaches Level 1.]
"Is it just an opportunity to cultivate?"
Zhang Chi whispers, then stops paying attention to this small matter.
Watching the light screen gradually slow down, Zhang Chi reaches out and taps lightly on the screen.
The image on the light screen changes accordingly.
[After another half year of hard cultivation, your spirit power barely reaches Level 2. Troubled by your aptitude, you decide not to delay any further, attempting to go out and search for the opportunities in your memories. At this time, Tang Hao has already disappeared from Saint Spirit Village. You speculate that he is likely staying in the grotto where the Blue Silver Emperor is located, so you dare not set your sights on the Blue Silver Emperor or that 100,000-year Spirit Bone. You place your hope of changing your aptitude on the Immortal Herb in the Sunset Forest.]
"Immortal Herb?"
Zhang Chi narrows his eyes; he is not surprised by the choice he makes in the future.
Just as Zhang Chi is contemplating, the images on the light screen begin to flow again.
[Age 9: You set off with your father's caravan and travel all the way to Heaven Dou City. You are placed by your father in a primary Spirit Master academy in Heaven Dou City. Your mother is worried, so she also moves to Heaven Dou City, choosing to stay here to take care of you personally.]
[Having already made a detailed plan, you place your focus during this stage on researching knowledge about Spirit Beasts and herbs. You want to make the necessary preparations to convince Dugu Bo to believe your point of view in the future.]
[Age 10: In the academy, you never cultivate, instead making research your primary goal, which makes you an outlier. You begin to be ostracized and isolated by the surrounding students, but you do not take this to heart. Your mother sees all of this; her heart aches, but she does not know how to comfort you. Misfortune, blessing... In contrast to your situation, you begin to gain a certain reputation in the academy. Your nonconformity causes most of the teachers in the academy to notice you, and most of them become curious about you. This reputation acts like a bridge, pulling you up from the abyss called mediocrity and allowing you to successfully establish connections with the Spirit Master community in Heaven Dou City.]
[Age 11: Relying on your eloquence, you successfully obtain a small amount of resources from your teacher and your Spirit Elder father. Combining your research experience from your previous life, you successfully concoct a Spirit-Replenishing Powder capable of quickly restoring spirit power for Spirit Masters below the Spirit Ancestor rank. The appearance of this prescription allows you to successfully enter the view of the upper echelons of Heaven Dou City. The rumors of you being a reclusive weirdo in the past are reversed at this moment. At this moment, your past unusual behaviors become synonymous with your aloof personality. Flowers and applause follow one after another. You feel that the World has suddenly become friendly to you at this moment...]
[Your potential is recognized, and you receive invitations from various forces. Among them, the invitations from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Crown Prince's residence are particularly prominent. However, you do not take these invitations to heart; instead, you use this opportunity to disseminate some of your research on toxicology to the outside World.]
[One month later, you successfully hook Dugu Bo, whom you have been 'thinking about' for three years.]
"Spirit-Replenishing Powder?"
Zhang Chi reaches out to touch the packet of medicinal powder in the image with some confusion.
To Zhang Chi's surprise, a series of words appear.
[You use 50 grams of century-old Clear Spirit Ginseng powder as the main ingredient, 10 grams of Purple Spirit Crystal and 15 grams of Star-Pattern Grass as auxiliary ingredients, and 3 grams of Moon Dew as the catalyst to successfully concoct the Spirit-Replenishing Powder. Note: In order to delay the time it takes for the prescription to be deciphered, you additionally added Azure Stone and Blood-Lake Crystal, which do not affect the drug's effectiveness, as interference items during the subsequent pharmaceutical process.]
Seeing this scene, Zhang Chi nods slightly.
"If I can see all the prescriptions I research in the future, wouldn't that save me countless hours of hard work? If I choose to pursue the path of research later, I could probably save countless amounts of time. Even if this system doesn't give me any other rewards, relying on the things I research in the future, I can still embark on the path to becoming a god!"
After muttering to himself in his heart, Zhang Chi suddenly reacts, and a feeling of unease surges into his heart.
"Something is wrong! If my plan proceeds so smoothly, I can at worst sell myself out; it shouldn't be too difficult to thoroughly win over Dugu Bo later. With the Immortal Herb, plus a Titled Douluo to protect me, plus my research ability, and the opportunities in my memories, how could I only have the cultivation of a Spirit King thirty years later... And how could my parents pass away so early?"
