Joy of Life: I am Li Chengze, and I have mastered the Eight Wonders

Chapter 1 I am Li Chengze

"Oh no, there's no hope now!" Li Chengze cried anxiously.

While time travel itself should be exciting, it’s a very different story if you become a tragic figure.

In this world full of martial arts wizards, there are talents galore!

On Mount Wudang in the Ming Dynasty, there lives the extraordinary founder Zhang Sanfeng!

Xianzhi, the king of Wudi City, is known as the second best in the world and is a peak that many martial artists cannot surpass!

There are the Wine Immortal, the Snow Moon Sword Immortal and the Spear Immortal in Xueyue City, and their reputations are known to everyone!

Li Chengze even knew that there was a man named Emperor Shitian in the dark who had lived for two thousand years...

But these are too far away for him.

His current identity is Li Chengze, the second prince of Daqing, a character with an unfortunate fate in the original novel!

He had wanted to stay away from the court and political struggles.

But Emperor Qing disagreed and made him king at the age of thirteen. He began to sit in on government affairs at the age of fifteen, forcing him to become a rival to the crown prince and finally become an enemy of the protagonist Fan Xian.

After traveling through time and space and becoming such a tragic character, Xiang Qian is no match for Fan Xian and the prince known for his justice!

Behind is a bottomless abyss!

Moreover, how many villains who are enemies of the protagonist can have a good ending?

"Wait, it seems there really is an exception!" When Li Chengze thought that the villains who went against Fan Xian would not have a good ending, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Usually, the villain who insists on going against the protagonist will not have a good ending.

But if these villains can reform themselves, there is still a chance to turn the situation around!

"However, the relationship between my predecessor and Fan Xian has completely broken down, and I almost put him to death in Northern Qi. Do I still have a chance to clear my name now? It's too difficult!"

Li Chengze thought of the current timeline, Fan Xian had already returned from Northern Qi.

Not long ago in the palace, she and her aunt Li Yunrui were severely reprimanded for smuggling, and their relationship had become irreconcilable.

It is indeed a daunting challenge to clear one’s name in this situation!

"It seems that I need to have an in-depth conversation with Fan Xian."

After careful consideration, Li Chengze came up with a plan!
"Hint: Active task 'Reconciliation'"

"Mission description: The Second Prince and Fan Xian used to have a deep friendship and were close friends, but now they have become enemies."

"Mission objective: repair the rift with Fan Xian."

"Mission Reward: 20% comprehension of Dual Hands!"

Just as Li Chengze was thinking about how to reconcile with Fan Xian and clear himself of suspicion as much as possible.

Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind!

"Huh? Did I get the golden finger?"

Hearing the clear voice in his mind, Li Chengze was ecstatic!

So, I do have the golden finger that a time traveler must have! Right?
"System? Come out and talk?"

"System? Are you there? What are your functions?"

"Since there are active tasks, are there also passive tasks?"

"Shuangquanshou, one of the eight unique skills under one person?"

He silently recited it in his heart for a long time, but there was no response. Could it be that he could not just recite it in his heart? Finally, Li Chengze whispered: "Do I have to say it out loud? System, give me some response? Even if you fart, it will be fine!"

However, there was still no response. Perhaps it was because his system was too arrogant and didn't bother to pay attention to him!

Or maybe, your system has no intelligence and will only be activated under certain conditions?
"Your Highness, what did you just say?"

A man with a beard and a sword on his back, who looked to be about thirty or forty years old, was holding a book in his hand. He obviously heard what Li Chengze said, but did not understand it, so he looked up and asked.

"No hope, can you invite Fan Xian over to drink with us?"

Li Chengze calmed down and asked.

"Would you like to invite Fan Xian to drink?" Fan Wujiu looked at Li Chengze in surprise. If he had offered to invite Fan Xian to drink before Fan Xian's mission to Northern Qi, it would not be surprising because they had a good relationship.

But now, both sides hate each other so much that they actually want to invite each other to drink?

"Yes!" Li Chengze nodded without further explanation.

"Okay!" Fan Wujiu didn't ask any further questions. He agreed, put the book in his arms, and left.

"What a pity!" Li Chengze looked at Fan Wujiu's departing back, remembered his ending in the original novel, and couldn't help but shook his head and sighed.

Fan Wujiu considers himself a scholar, but he is actually a ninth-grade master, proficient in both civil and military affairs.

In the end, he died in prison because of his loyalty before the spring imperial examination began, which can be said to be a great loss for Li Chengze.

Before he died, he asked Xie Bian to bring him a book of sages. He had always wanted to take part in the imperial examinations but failed.

The death of Fan Wujiu in the original novel is indeed regrettable and unsatisfactory...

"Prompt update: Activate the autonomous mission - 'Help Fan Wujiu win the imperial examination.'"

“Mission Summary: Assist Fan Wujiu to shine in the spring imperial examination and strive to pass the exam.

“Mission reward: 20% comprehension of Tongtian Talisman.”

Watching Fan Wujiu embark on his journey, my heart couldn't help but feel ripples. I recalled his unfinished fate in the original novel. That regret was like a stone thrown into the lake of my heart, lingering for a long time.

Just as I was thinking about all these things, the long-silent system prompt sound suddenly rang out, like a spring breeze blowing on my face.

"Another challenge? Or a reward of Tongtian Lu?
"Li Chengze was secretly delighted. This unexpected task gave him a deeper understanding of the system's operating mechanism.

First, he realized that the system did not seem to have autonomous awareness, but was triggered based on preset conditions, like a sophisticated machine, waiting for instructions to be activated.

Secondly, the quality and difficulty of the task are directly related to the level of the reward. If the Tongtian Talisman is cultivated to perfection, it can be comparable to a grandmaster.

Furthermore, he speculated that the initiation of a task might be closely related to the individual's will and actions, and was a guiding mechanism based on subjective will.

The word "active" aptly explains this point.

“Since we have come here, why not take care of ourselves first and meet new challenges in the best condition?
"Li Chengze changed his mind and decided to enjoy the bath first, while at the same time silently testing the system's reaction in his mind.

"Are daily trivialities not enough to trigger the system? Or are my wishes too trivial?

"He thought as he washed, "So, if I pray for peace in the world, can this aspiration awaken the resonance of the system?"

Unfortunately, whether it is the desire for peace or the pursuit of the pinnacle of swordsmanship, "the system did not give any response, as if everything must follow specific rules and timing."

“It seems that the arrival of the mission is not arbitrary, but requires a clearer alignment of goals and actions.

"Li Chengze thought to himself, looking forward to the upcoming challenge but also remaining cautious.

"What are the conditions that trigger this mission? Is it completely random?"

"Also, since there are active tasks, are there also passive tasks?"
