Chapter 1: Sed Geion Heir

  Transtor:Krukist

  "Year-end grand dist sale at Ganoderma Hall! For just three Spirit Stones, you bee our esteemed VIP member—free sultation fees and all medial herbs at half price!"

  "Three Spirit Stones—no losses, no scams! Just three Spirit Stones!"

  "Don't miss out as you pass by! It's the st day of our Membership Day sale! The very st day!"

  …

  The bustling long street was filled with people ing and going. Amid the crowd, a young man rough linen clothes stood with a stack of paper flyers, shouting at the top of his lungs.

  The scorg sun bzed overhead, yet no one paid him any attention. His throat was dry, almost burning, and sweat dripped onto the ground.

  Ganoderma Hall was a grand pharmacy both medical sultations and herbal prescriptions. The three-story building had an attached courtyard at the back, and its entrance bore a rge pque with three golden characters, testifying to its once-glorious heritage.

  Unfortunately…

  That was all in the past. Now, Ganoderma Hall was on the verge of colpse. No patients had visited for over half a year, and the medial herbs in the shop were nearly growing mold.

  "Sigh!"

  With a long sigh, Lin Yu wiped the sweat from his forehead and slumped onto the stoeps outside the shop. Watg the endless stream of pedestrians, a deep sense of sorrow welled up in his heart.

  If he couldn't scrape together his younger sister's tuition fees soon, she would be expelled from Heavenly Cloud Academy. On the Heavenly Sun ti, martial arts reigned supreme, and spell arts were held in the highest regard. His sister's admission into Heavenly Cloud Academy to study Are Spell arts was a rare blessing for the Lin family.

  Truthfully, Lin Yu wasn’t inally from this so-called Heavenly Cloud ti. He had transmigrated from a pown as Earth. In his past life, he had been a lowly i café administrator.

  A miserable job with meager pay. He had a det girlfriend—until, on his birthday, she got into a rich man’s BMW and never looked back.

  Heartbroken and furious, he had been w a night shift at the i café when disaster strueone had secretly downloaded some… illicit videos, whifected every single puter with a virus.

  Desperate to avoid his boss’s wrath, he went from PC to PC, running antivirus software. Just as he was about to finish, the st mae froze at 99% every time he tried to disi it. Rebooting didn't work. The only optio was to unplug it.

  Then, that damn knockoff power strip had a leakage issue… and then…

  Theransmigrated.

  The body he now occupied also beloo a Lin Yu, a so-called "Medie Heir" in Heavenly Cloud City. His father had been a highly respected Third-Grade Spiritual Alchemist.

  Lin Yu also had a younger sister who was blessed with an exceptional talent for cultivation. She had been admitted into Heavenly Cloud Academy to train as a spellcaster, the most prestigious profession on the ti.

  However, Lin Yu himself was born with an abnormal meridian structure—Seven Meridians a Vessels pletely blocked. Fet being a Are Martialist—even the lowest-tier profession, a Body F Warrior, was beyond his reach. Left with no other path, he followed his father’s footsteps and studied medie. Unfortunately, his talent in this field itiful, and after more than a decade of training, he was barely sidered a novice.

  A year ago, his father ventured into the untamed Savage Mountains outside Heavenly Cloud City, searg for a spiritual medie that could cure his genital meridian disorder. He never returned.

  Lag skill and experience, Lin Yu had struggled to keep the family business afloat. To make matters worse, a medical act six months ago had utterly ruined Ganoderma Hall’s three-hundred-year reputation. The pharmacy was now on the brink of closure.

  As a transmigrator, Lin Yu had read plenty of web novels ba Earth. Almost every protagonist who transmigrated started as a useless loser but then unlocked a golde ability, rising to domihe world.

  Yet six months had passed…

  The "useless loser" part ot on!

  Where was his damn golden finger?!

  He had already lived a miserable life oh—was he doomed to suffer the same fate here?!

  "Oh, Xiao Yu, so you’re running a dist sale? Doesn’t look like anyone’s ied!" A woman’s voice rang out, her tone dripping with schadenfreude.

  Li Chaohua—Lin Yu’s sed aunt.

  Lin Yu’s father, Lin Wen, had only one younger brother, Lin Dong. Ten years ago, after their grandfather passed away, Lin Dong had been expelled from the family for uhical medical practices, while Lin Wen ied Lingzhi Hall.

  Over the years, Lin Dong and his wife set up a small pharma the western part of the city, but they had always coveted Ganoderma Hall. When Lin Wen was around, they didn’t dare make a move. Now that he had been missing for over a year, presumed dead, they had started scheming openly.

  In fact, the "medical act" that destroyed Ganoderma Hall’s reputation was rgely orchestrated by Lin Dong and his wife. The previous Lin Yu, uo withstand the pressure, had perished—allowing him, the transmigrator, to take over this body.

  Reizing Li Chaohua’s voice, Lin Yu didn’t even bother looking up. His ied memories painted a clear picture of her scheming nature.

  Li Chaohua, uerred by his silence, sauntered over with a smug grin. She was nearing forty, slightly plump, with a spiole at the er of her mouth.

  "Final exams at Heavenly Cloud Academy are ing up soon, aren’t they? Ling’er’s tuition for year must still be short," she said in a falsely sympathetie. "Heavenly Sun ti values Are Spell arts above all else. Ling’er’s ce to study at the academy is a blessing for the Lin family. If she pletes her training, she’ll be set for life."

  Her voice turned dramatic. "But if she gets expelled over something as trivial as tuition fees… what a pity! That girl is so headstrong—being a Are Martialist is her dream. If she loses that dream now, I wonder if she’ll—"

  "That’s none of your business!" Lin Yu cut her off coldly, gring at her with sharp eyes.

  "Heh…"

  Li Chaohua remained unfazed. Smiling, she tinued, "Xiao Yu, you o be realistic. Your father is gone. You’re the head of the household now. You have to think about Ling’er’s future.

  "Besides, Ganoderma Hall is doomed in your hands. Your sed uncle and I ’t bear to see the family legacy crumble. We admit that the price we offered before was a bit low, so we discussed it again. Since we’re all family, we’re willing to increase our offer a little."

  A month ago, Li Chaohua had tried to buy Ganoderma Hall at an insultingly low price. Even though its reputation had been tarnished, selling at market value was still possible. But the offer she gave ure robbery. Naturally, Lin Yu had thrown her out.

  "Not for sale!"

  Lin Yu’s tone was firm. Regardless of his personal grudge against this scheming aunt, as a transmigrator, there was no way he’d sell his family’s legacy right off the bat!

  Even without a golden finger, he was still a transmigrator! A transmigrator had to have some pride!

  Ding—

  A sudden chime echoed in his mind, like a soft piano note—clear and melodious, yet with a lingering uone.

  Ich-bck depths of his sciousness, a flicker of light appeared. It was faint at first, then fshed twice before stabilizing.

  Lin Yu saw it clearly.

  A puter.

  A desktop puter.

  The s was frozen at 99% on an antivirus s—just a sliver away from pletion.

  It was stuck.

  This…

  Lin Yu’s spirit jolted.

  Was this his golden finger?!

  Was this… the very puter that got him transmigrated?!

  Damn!

  As reality set in, Lin Yu felt the urge to curse.

  Other protagonists got divine systems, a iance, or peerless cultivation manuals.

  And he?

  He got a puter.

  Not just any puter—this was the worst, most outdated mae ier café he used to work at!

  Was he doomed to be a repairman in this world too?!
