Chapter 1: The System Arrived Way Too Early

Brain storage!

Illogical logic is perfectly reasonable here!

Dark clouds crowded the sky, making the world feel extremely oppressive, stirring restlessness in people's hearts.

And the atmosphere inside the house was also very oppressive,

A pretty‑faced woman stood by the bed, her facial flesh twisted into a lump, full of worry.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, and an excited voice shouted,

"Xiuxiu has woken up!"

"Xiuxiu has woken up!"

Accompanying that voice,

the other dozen or so people in the house quickly gathered around that small bed.

In a daze, Ye Xiuxiu slowly opened her eyes from sleep.

She babbled and cried,

struggling hard,

trying to stand up from the soft bed beneath her.

But as soon as she exerted force,

she immediately felt her arms as if they had lost strength,

soft and limp, unable to exert any force.

Moreover,

her head throbbed with unbearable pain,

as if someone had hammered it heavily with a heavy iron hammer.

Enduring the discomfort spreading through her body,

the whole room was understatedly luxurious and refined,

a dozen or so people surrounded Ye Xiuxiu's bed,

only to see Ye Xiuxiu's tiny body wrapped in an exquisite swaddle,

her limbs appearing especially delicate and weak.

A woman gently massaged the bump on Ye Xiuxiu's head and sighed in relief, "Luckily nothing serious happened from the impact."

Ye Xiuxiu's head had just struck something,

and then she fell unconscious, only just waking up.

Suddenly,

Ye Xiuxiu felt her mind become a bit clearer,

as if she were precocious,

though only one year old, she already possessed her own understanding and the wisdom of an eight‑ or nine‑year‑old child,

yet she still felt bewildered,

that feeling was like having a bit of brain, but not much,

the mind easily follows the body.

At that moment, a translucent light screen suddenly floated before her eyes without warning.

On the light screen, lines of text flickered and floated like living spirits:

【0 years old, you were lucky to be born into a powerful cultivation family, and you even have a father whose strength has already reached the Body Integration Stage.】

【1 year old, after some effort, you finally learned to toddle. Your second mother secretly poisoned you, causing you to fall and roll, your head smashing heavily against a hard object, making you thereafter dim‑witted and clumsy.】

【2 years old, your parents decided to hire a teacher for your enlightenment, teaching you how to be a person, but your dim‑wittedness often infuriated the teacher to the brink, making the teacher dislike you.】

【6 years old, you began cultivation, but your innate talent was extremely poor; despite your privileged lineage, your progress was abysmal. Loving father spared no precious resources to help you, yet the results remained scant.】

【8 years old, your cultivation stalled, so you tried business, believing your genius lay elsewhere, but your second mother secretly sabotaged you, destroying a small resource node in the family.】

【10 years old, you finally met the requirements in Body Refining and entered the Qi Refining Stage, a cause for joy; you felt you were a natural prodigy.】

【15 years old, after countless hardships you finally completed Foundation Building. This should have been cause for ecstatic joy, but unexpectedly, the next morning your spiritual energy vanished, and you fell straight from the Foundation Building Realm to Qi Refining Stage Level Three.】

【18 years old, at your coming‑of‑age ceremony, your fiancé broke off the engagement.】

【20 years old, you did not fall into despair; instead you bravely embarked on entrepreneurship, hoping to prove your worth, but lost a full one‑fifth of the family fortune.】

【25 years old, your second sister married splendidly, and the groom was the very fiancé who once abandoned you. Worse, she deliberately invited you to be a bridesmaid, using the occasion to humiliate you in every possible way.】

【30 years old, you went mad, training relentlessly day and night, painstakingly studying techniques and manuals to break through your current predicament and raise your cultivation, yet no matter how hard you tried, your spiritual energy kept vanishing inexplicably.】

【35 years old, unwilling to accept failure, you decided to take another gamble, diving into the business world for a second venture, and lost another full quarter of the family assets.】

【40 years old, the father who always cherished you completely lost faith and patience in you. From then on, his gaze no longer held the former affection and concern, replaced only by deep disappointment and indifference, and his face never showed a smile again.】

【50 years old, your father left all the family property to your second sister, and drove you out of the house.】

【61 years old, the system arrived, and you finally discovered why your spiritual energy kept disappearing—it turned out the gift your second mother gave you on the day of Foundation Building contained a demon.】

Staring at these shocking words,

Ye Xiuxiu felt a dizzy whirl of the heavens and earth,

her heart filled with disbelief and anxious fear.

Could this be the portrait of her future life?

Opening with my Body Integration Stage father, ending with being driven out of the house.

How tragic it is,

either framed, or broken off the engagement, or losing money in ventures, or being expelled from home.

She, who once had a Body Integration Stage strongman as a protective father,

How did it end up in such a miserable fate?

This plot development is simply lamentable.

【Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river, do not bully the poor in the middle; the sixty-year period has arrived, begin the counterattack.】

【Let's turn the tide!】

【Starting the counterattack at sixty-one, the age is rather high, affecting cultivation; reward talent……】

【Latecomers Surpass the Earlycomers.】

【Name: Ye Xiuxiu】

【Age: 61】

【Cultivation: Qi Refining Stage Level Three】

【Talent: Latecomers Surpass the Earlycomers】

【Latecomers Surpass the Earlycomers: the older the age, the faster the cultivation speed.】

「Latecomers Surpass the Earlycomers, but I seem to be an earlycomer now, 」

「The older the age, the faster the cultivation speed, 」

「But I am only one year old now, 」

「Only one year old! 」

「System, you got it wrong, right? 」

【Counterattack Mission has been issued.】

【Your father is completely disappointed in you, hasn't smiled at you for twenty years; you left home ten years ago, and in those ten years you haven't even seen your father. Please go home and think of a way to make him smile at you once, as the start of the counterattack.】

【Reward: Marrow Cleansing and Bone Refining (can help you reshape your physique and embark on the path of cultivation again.)】

Ye Xiuxiu was calling "ee-yah ee-yah",

"Do you want to see what you're saying?"

"I haven't even lived twenty years yet, and my father hasn't smiled at me for twenty years?"

She wanted the system to quickly change,

Could it be that one must endure humiliation until sixty-one to be able to start the counterattack?

Then this system has come for nothing.

But the system obviously ignores Ye Xiuxiu.

"I'm only one year old, what use is the Latecomers Surpass the Earlycomers talent?"

"Could it have been delivered by East Wind Express, arriving sixty years early?"

"This system came way too early!"
