Even years later, when Lu Chen became the strongest person in the universe, he would never forget that dark, damp evening with overcast skies, that bare house, and those two little ones inside who were looking at him with teary eyes, laughing and crying at the same time.

He could even clearly remember the strong medicinal smell that filled the room, the stuffy and humid air with a musty odor, and the rumbling thunder in the distance.

A boy covered in wounds curled up on the bed, groaning in pain, his body trembling slightly.

His consciousness sank, flashing back to his experiences on Earth one moment, and recalling the life of Lu Chen, the boy from Qingshan Village the next.

Suddenly transported to a completely unfamiliar world, injured and all alone, every slight movement of the body felt like being torn apart.

Unfortunately, he was rarely conscious; most of the time he was in a coma, as if he were being paralyzed by a ghost and unable to control himself. In his hazy state, he could vaguely see two small, thin figures taking care of him by the bedside and crying softly.

He will never forget that despair of being on the verge of death.

What he will never forget is the sound that came to his ears when he finally gained complete control of the body and was able to open his eyes wide.

To him, it sounded like the most beautiful sound in the world.

Like heavenly music.

"Host has been detected to have altered Lu Chen's destiny trajectory. Life points gained: 20."

"pain!"

Lu Chen regained consciousness, only to feel pain all over his body.

But the pain didn't make him forget the sound he'd just heard.

"A cheat system? A system?"

In the blink of an eye, he saw a light blue, semi-transparent panel appear before him.

Name: Lu Chen

Age: 15

[Hit Value: 20]

[Luck Value: 0]

[Entries: Severely injured, starving, malnourished, physically weak, mediocre]

"Should we edit the entry?"

Before Lu Chen could confirm, the door creaked open.

Two thin, small figures walked in.

Seeing that Lu Chen had his eyes open, the two immediately showed expressions of surprise and hurriedly ran over.

"Brother, you're awake?"

"elder brother!"

"Waaah, brother, you're finally awake! Xiaotang was so scared!"

Lu Chen already knew what had happened.

In the past few days, he has fully absorbed the memories of his predecessor and knows that these two are Lu Chen's younger brother and sister.

His name is also Lu Chen, he is 31 years old, and he comes from Earth.

Before he transmigrated, he had just finished an interview.

In the six months leading up to the interview, he experienced a series of misfortunes, including being laid off at the age of thirty, breaking up with his girlfriend, the death of a loved one, failing the civil service exam, and not being able to submit his resume for several months.

I stay in my rented room until 3 or 4 a.m. every day, wondering why my life is such a failure and what the future holds.

I finally got a job interview, but it turned out I was tricked into interviewing for an insurance company sales position.

After the interview, I was hit by a car!

Then he was transported to a world similar to ancient China, and possessed the body of Lu Chen in Qingshan Village.

In this world, Lu Chen's father, Lu Hai, died four years ago when he was collecting herbs in the mountains and accidentally fell off a cliff during a rainstorm.

Luo Qingyi, the mother, was a well-educated lady from a family that valued poetry and literature. More than ten years ago, she fled with her family due to war. Along the way, her family members died or scattered. In the end, she settled alone in Qingshan Village, married Lu Hai, who was a hunter at the time, and gave birth to Lu Chen.

After her father died, her mother struggled to support the family of four, eventually succumbing to illness from overwork and passing away a few months ago.

Lu Chen, the eldest brother, wanted to earn more money to support his younger siblings. A few days ago, he caught some fish and shrimp in the river and went to the county town to sell them. Unfortunately, he ran into Li Feng, the second young master of the Li family, who had lost a fight over a girl. In a fit of anger, Li Feng kicked Lu Chen's fish basket away.

Unexpectedly, the second young master was unlucky and cut his foot on the fish basket, causing it to bleed. He became even angrier and beat up Lu Chen.

It was only because a passerby couldn't stand it and shouted that someone had been beaten to death that Li Feng stopped, fearing a lawsuit. He even demanded that Lu Chen pay ten taels of silver for medical expenses, or else he would be in deep trouble.

Just then, a fellow villager happened to pass by and saw Lu Chen. He helped find a doctor, got two doses of medicine, and quickly sent him back. Otherwise, Lu Chen would have died in the county town that day.

These past few days, Lu Chen has been lying in bed in a daze, and his younger brother Lu Ming and younger sister Lu Tang have been taking care of him.

The two children, Lu Ming, 12 years old, and Lu Tang, 8 years old, take care of their 15-year-old brother. Every day is filled with anxiety and sadness, fearing that one day their brother will die silently in bed like their mother.

Thank God, my brother has finally regained consciousness.

Lu Tang, whose hair was a little dry and yellow, gripped Lu Chen's hand tightly, her lips pursed, wanting to cry but worried about her brother's pain. She forced a smile: "Brother, are you still in pain? Let me blow on it and it will feel better!"

Lu Chen's face was pale. He raised his hand and gently rubbed Lu Tang's head, his heart softening slightly. He smiled and said, "Little Tang, don't be afraid, brother is alright now. I'd be a dog if I lied to you!"

Lu Ming's eyes were red, he pursed his lips, quietly turned his head away to wipe his tears, and sniffed: "Brother, lie down quickly, I'll go get you your medicine."

After saying that, he ran off and soon came back with a bowl.

"Brother, drink your medicine quickly, you'll get better soon!" Lu Tang blinked her wet eyes, looking at Lu Chen with anticipation.

Lu Chen took a breath, took the medicine, and gulped it down.

It's so bitter, so incredibly bitter!

It was even more bitter than his life.

He didn't want to suffer anymore!

Lu Chen grinned, showing Lu Tang the bottom of his bowl: "Look, Xiao Tang, I've finished my medicine. Your brother will be better when you wake up tomorrow!"

"Really?"

"real!"

Lu Chen glanced outside; it was completely dark outside.

Lu Ming brought over another bowl of porridge, which the three of them shared before sending the other two to bed.

"You're trying to lie and say I've already eaten."

He shook his head.

This place is too poor.

To pay for his mother's medical treatment, the family had no money left and even owed the clan chief some money.

It's the lean season again, the crops in the fields aren't ripe yet, but the rice in the jar is almost not enough to eat.

He opened the panel.

"System, I want to modify the entry."

He clicked on "Severely Injured" and silently thought "Modify".

The life value has become 10.

In a short while, the word "seriously injured" changed to "slightly injured".

He felt the pain in his body decrease significantly in an instant. He lifted his clothes to check his injuries and found that some of the very serious bruises had subsided and were almost invisible.

The lingering pain in the body has subsided, likely indicating that the internal injuries have healed.

My head isn't spinning anymore.

I had a feeling that my ribs might be broken, but now it seems to have healed.

"10 points, downgrade from serious injury to minor injury? 10 points remaining..."

He did not make any further revisions.

Overnight, he went from being seriously injured to fully recovered. The change was so drastic that anyone could see the problem; it was too obvious.

Moreover, his current minor injuries do not affect his mobility, so there is no rush for now.

I took a closer look at the description of the cheat code.

"It can consume Fate Points, Destiny Points, etc., to modify its own attributes."

"By changing the fate of others, one can obtain a fate value and a fortune value, and the calculation is based on the magnitude of the change in fate and cause."

"Change your destiny, gain destiny points, and modify my attributes?"

He leaned against the headboard, staring into the darkness outside the window, lost in thought.

"Since the term 'hunger' is listed, it means that terms are not static. Perhaps we can add more terms through some manipulation?"

He thought about it for a long time.

I thought of our parents on Earth, and how heartbroken they must be.

I thought about how to better survive in this world.

I also thought of the cheat code, how should I develop and use it?

Moreover, what kind of world is this?

Was he transported back to a certain dynasty in Chinese history? Or has he left Earth and arrived in another world?

Is there any power here that surpasses that of ordinary people, such as martial arts, immortality cultivation, or the like?

This determined his plans for the future.

Whether to try to earn money and study to enter officialdom, practice martial arts and roam the martial world, try to find a way to cultivate immortality, or simply lie down in the village, farm, get married, have children and live out one's life.

However, in his more than ten years of life, the furthest Lu Chen had ever been was the county town, so his experience was really limited.

While thinking about "Where am I?" and "What do I need to do?", Lu Chen was also thinking about how to get some food.

As a transmigrator, weak and slightly injured, what advantages does he have in this world?

Does that mean they've been watching short videos for a few more years than others?

Have you gained some new insights?

If this were a world similar to ancient China, he would be more inclined to study, learn to read and write, take the imperial examinations, and become a high-ranking official.

There was an imperial examination system in this world, and there was an old scholar in the village who used to be the teacher of the village's private school.

Later, the scholar grew old and could no longer teach, so the private school was closed.

Furthermore, Lu Chen, the original owner of this body, was not illiterate.

Because his mother, Luo Qingyi, was a young lady from a wealthy family, she had taught Lu Chen to read.

Having inherited all of his predecessor's memories, Lu Chen was naturally literate.

"There's too little information to make a judgment. We can only take it one step at a time, gather information from various sources, and then make a decision."
