Chapter 1: Transmigrating to a Courtyard House, the System Dies Upon Landing.
(P.S.: This is an alternate history; the timeline differs from reality. Please do not compare it to reality exactly.)
"System? System, are you still there?"
A young man lying on a wooden plank bed called out anxiously in a low voice.
Unfortunately, the man called out for a long time but received no response.
"Looks like the system really is dead!"
Disappointment and regret immediately appeared on the man's face;
"Sigh, without a system, how am I supposed to survive in this difficult era? How am I supposed to deal with all those beasts in the yard?"
The man speaking in a low voice is named Li Qin. He is fifteen years old and has a Beijing household registration.
In fact, Li Qin was not originally from this world, or rather, his soul did not originally belong to this world.
Even his original name wasn't Li Qin.
He was just an ordinary person in the modern world, with no great achievements or major troubles. He usually just enjoyed reading novels, watching movies, and watching TV.
Unexpectedly, he was sent by the Mud God to a special era when the country had only been established for a few years.
After transmigrating, with the help of an unknown force, he directly merged with all the memories of the original owner of this body.
As the memories merged, Li Qin realized that he had not traveled through time, but had traveled to the world of Love in the Courtyard.
This is the legendary "Love Fills the Courtyard".
Of course, Li Qin prefers to call it "birds filling the courtyard".
As for why Li Qin was so certain of this, the answer is quite simple.
Because he is now in the legendary courtyard house at No. 95 Luogu Lane.
Most importantly, Li Qin discovered some familiar faces in the original owner's memories;
Yi Zhonghai, the Moral Celestial Venerable;
Liu Haizhong, a father of love and a son of filial piety;
Yan Bugui, a man of extraordinary wisdom and resourcefulness;
He Yuzhu, the "Simp God of War";
Xu Damao, who has many children and grandchildren;
The Flourishing Era: White Lotus of Qinhuai;
Jia Dongxu lived to be a hundred years old;
The necromancer Jia Zhangshi;
A highly respected, deaf old woman;
......
The thought of having to deal with these people in the courtyard for a long time to come made Li Qin feel a little uneasy.
In addition, Li Qin was a modern youth who was used to enjoying life. Now that he had been thrown into this difficult era, he didn't even know how to adapt.
Just then, a voice suddenly rang in Li Qin's ears, or rather in his mind;
【Ding! 】
[A suitable host has been found, and the system is initiating the binding process;]
[1%]
[10%]
[50%]
......
[90%]
[99%]
[100%]
[Ding! System binding successful. New player gift pack being distributed!]
[New player gift pack successfully delivered. You can open it at any time!]
Upon hearing the "ding," Li Qin was initially taken aback, but then a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face and in his eyes.
Then he suddenly stood up from the bed.
Having read countless novels, Li Qin immediately realized that the appropriate system had arrived.
"I thought it was a time-travel, rebirth, and hardship survival story, but it turns out to be a system story. Now I can finally relax."
Although Li Qin didn't know what kind of system he was bound to, he was certain that whatever kind of system it was, it could change his current situation.
Just as he was eagerly trying to communicate with the system, an unexpected incident occurred.
【Ding! 】
[The system has been attacked by an unknown entity. Defense mechanisms have been activated...]
[The defense mechanism has been breached. Emergency mechanisms have been activated. The system is beginning automatic annihilation...]
Hearing the voice from the system in his mind, Li Qin's expectant and excited expression suddenly froze, followed by a blank look.
Before he could figure out what was going on, the system that had been sending messages through his mind went completely silent.
Li Qin immediately started calling the system.
Unfortunately, in the end, there was still no response.
"God, are you kidding me?"
Li Qin looked up but saw no sky, only old rooftops, and then felt as if all his strength had been drained.
I lay down on the bed again.
His face was filled with a look of utter despair.
This act of giving hope only to then extinguish it made Li Qin feel even more bitter.
If the system had never appeared in the first place, he might have felt bad, but he would still have found a way to integrate into this era.
Try your best to live a good life.
However, losing the system after contacting it, and even after the system was already bound to it, was an even greater blow to Li Qin.
"Sigh, I should have opened the newbie gift pack as soon as the system bound me, then I could at least get some benefits."
It's better than having nothing at all.
Li Qin felt deeply regretful;
After hearing the system's voice, I was too excited and didn't make the right choice in time;
In just a few seconds, the system was destroyed, and he had nothing left.
Perhaps it was because Li Qin mentioned the keyword "newbie gift pack" that triggered something special.
Li Qin, lying on the stiff wooden bed, suddenly felt a moment of mental confusion;
Then he "saw" something that looked like a treasure chest, floating in a pitch-black space.
next second.
Li Qin seemed to instinctively know some things;
It turned out that the pitch-black space in front of him was none other than his consciousness space.
It can also be called the sea of consciousness, or the spiritual space, the Purple Mansion...
Because Li Qin is just an ordinary person, his consciousness space is as it is now. If he is destined to step into the extraordinary realm in the future, his consciousness space will also change accordingly.
However, that's all for the future. Right now, Li Qin's attention is entirely focused on the box in his consciousness space.
It turned out that the box was none other than the newbie gift pack given to him by the previously annihilated unknown system.
Looking at the treasure chest in the air, Li Qin's eyes flashed with excitement.
At this moment, he didn't have time to think about why the system had been destroyed, but the newbie gift pack was still there.
Li Qin only knew that whether he would become a dragon or a worm in the future depended on what he could get from this newbie gift pack.
"May all the gods bless us, and hopefully we'll get something good."
Li Qin, who originally did not believe in gods or Buddhas, was now praying with unusual fervor in his heart;
"Open the newbie gift pack!"
As Li Qin's mind turned, the treasure chest in his consciousness space suddenly shone brightly.
The pitch-black space of consciousness was also illuminated by this indescribable light.
However, the light soon began to weaken and eventually went out completely.
At the same time, the treasure chest also disappeared;
However, where the treasure chest disappeared, three objects emitting a faint glow have now appeared.
"Only three items were obtained?"
Li Qin knew that these three items were the results of the newbie gift pack.
Because there was no systematic explanation, Li Qin didn't know what the three things were, and naturally didn't know whether this was good luck or bad luck.
But the first thing to do now is to figure out what these three things are and what their purpose is.
"Whether we eat coarse food or meat and drink alcohol in the future depends on whether these three things work out."
Li Qin looked at the three items in his sea of consciousness, his heart filled with anticipation.
With a wave of his hand, the three items that were originally floating in the air flew into his hand automatically, just as he wished.
