Ah Ah Ah system! I will not be so bored anymore!

As shouted in his head as his unending boredom transformed into excitement. Isn’t the system what makes the main characters so OP?

If he was physically able to, Li Zimu would have ran around shouting and dancing. Yet all he managed to do was kick the womb’s fleshy walls a little before almost falling asleep again from overexertion.

Regaining his calm with his impeccable xianxia wisdom, he carefully prodded this new function installed in his head.

‘Hey, system?’

[Yes host]

‘Wow it talks’

[Indeed]

‘Wow it talks back’

[Indeed]

‘Cough, do you have any functions?’

[I wonder, host. Do you think I have functions?]

The same cold mechanical voice replied in a monotonous tone.

‘I wonder why that seemed so sarcastic… So system, what are your functions?’

[Functions: System Shop and Host Status, other functions locked]

After replying, Li Zimu felt a strange menu emerge in his consciousness. There were three bright boxes while the rest were grey, dull and empty. Each of them labeled System Shop, Host Skills, Host Status.

Excited to be relieved, Li Zimu picked the system shop to look through first. Although the system was currently shabby with only two options, the system shop had a vast variety of goods for window shopping. Yes, window shopping. Li Zimu was only given 1 System Credits to begin with.

Feeling a little disappointed, wasn’t this system a little too stingy? Curiously, he asked the monotonous voice again.

‘How do I obtain more credits?’

Yet the reply was a difficult as usual.

[Host is recommended to find out himself]

Fuck, he was still a baby, how is he supposed to find anything out.

Filtering the available goods to see what he could buy with his measly 1 credit, he gawked at the results.

There were all sorts of mortal item packs such as ‘food packs’ or ‘furniture bundles’ on sale, even instant ramen could be found… This is a land of cultivation, right? Let me live my fantasy dream please!

Scrolling through the endless mortal stuff, there was one thing Li Zimu Hoped to find, and then he found it. At the bottom of the list, in letters that seemed to shine.

Beginner Cultivation Manual.

Although it was mentioned that normal people never advance pass the Qi Disciple or Qi Warrior stages, these stages were actually split into three smaller stages. This only applied to the Qi Disciple and Qi Warrior as the stages afterwards were singular. Naturally, each stage and smaller stage is further divided into 9 levels.

The first level of cultivation was the Qi Gathering stage where one gathered Qi into their bodies. To do this, one would required the cultivation manual which every person on the continent would have one they turned 6 at the latest. The Beginner Cultivation Method.

Using this manual, one would be able to cultivate to the end of Qi Warrior and the entrance of true cultivation.

So Li Zimu quickly bought the manual, anticipating his first attempt at cultivation. As a modern day human who has always been a fan of webnovels, his inner nerd was burning with passion and motivation.

Sensing the familiar feeling of information transmission, Li Zimu quietly fainted again. No, not fainted, he definitely fell asleep to digest the information.

An unheard notification ran again in his unconsciousness.

[Ding! Basic Cultivation Method Lv 1]

…

A while later, groggily waking up, the tiny baby, still unable to move, started to prod around to try and sense the qi in the air according to the manual.

Yet, there was no air as he was still in his mother’s womb.

Strangely enough, he could feel the Qi in his mother’s body flowing to him in a gentle stream, nurturing him.

‘So this is why the children of this world can naturally cultivate and are really, scarily strong?’

Throwing his questions aside, Li Zimu started to absorb the qi and bring it around his body in the set path.

Hours passed slowly and Li Zimu quickly got bored. Resigning himself, he convinced himself that he was only a baby and it was ok to rest today.

Lazily, he returned to his window shopping as he read over various informations about the treasures and manuals provided by the system.

…

A beautiful young lady sat quietly on a luxurious bed, her stomach bulging. At one look, anyone could tell she is pregnant as her slim and graceful figure contrasted greatly to her gigantic belly.

Gently stroking her stomach, her whispered lovingly to her child. “Little Mu’er, you must grow up strong like your daddy. We love and can’t wait for you to be born, our dear child.”

Her gentle and warm voice was full of excitement and anticipation.

Soon after, a handsome young man walked in. His body build in a sturdy manner, his eyes sharp and focused. He strode over gracefully, emitting a grand aura. His luxurious robes demonstrated his high status.

Reaching the bed, his expression immediately thawed into a extremely loving and warm face. A face he could never show outside.

Reaching over, he started rubbing his face lovingly on his wife’s belly while murmuring gibberish about his lovely son to come.

Seemingly used to this, the woman apathetically whacked the idiotic man’s head.

This idiot couple was precisely Li Zimu’s parents.
