Chapter 0001: The Story of the Unlucky Devil

  Deep in the mountains.

  Yang Du Ning got drunk alone.

  After drinking, he climbed up the mountain alone.

  Due to its remoteness, the mountains and rivers here have not been polluted at all, and are still green waters and green mountains. At the foot of the mountain, a narrow river winds from north to south through the village. The small mountain village surrounded by peaks in the distance looks so desolate and barren under the scorching sun.

  But no matter how beautiful the natural scenery is, it cannot hide its backwardness. This small village without even a highway, no matter how good the people are, how green the mountains are, how sweet the water is, and how gentle the wind is, can only make Yang Dunning, who had spent four years in a big city for college, feel out of place and lonely.

  The dense trees around him dispersed the scorching heat brought by the hot summer, and suddenly a gust of cool breeze came, Yang Du Ning shivered with cold, almost falling off his horse.

  The wine took effect and he couldn't bear the turmoil in his stomach, so he threw up everything he had drunk and eaten today, until he even vomited out all the bile before stopping.

  After getting away from that disgusting thing, Yang Dunning found a tree shade and sat down.

  When a man is down on his luck, even water will choke him.

  Because from today on, he became unemployed, the school where he had worked hard for ten years terminated his employment contract with him.

  Originally clever, but because of a fall with classmates in elementary school, the head was broken, and as a result, memory is like dog shit, can't remember anything.

  His father was already in a deputy position and had good prospects for advancement, but he died on duty during a business trip, cutting off his dream of becoming an official.

  He spent a lot of effort to get into a second-rate university, but became a laughing stock on campus: he had originally wanted to learn how to pick up girls and find a girlfriend, but was rejected at least twenty times or more, without even getting a taste of what it's like to have a relationship. The last time was particularly memorable, as he was rejected by the ugliest girl in school who had never been asked out before, and his reputation spread far and wide. What made it most unforgettable was her blunt words: "With your crippled height, if we were together, people would worry that our offspring would be born with birth defects."

  As for what he gained in college, it's that he, who had already given up on chasing girls, learned from others and picked up skills like playing the guitar, calligraphy, basketball, and singing. However, these still didn't help him shake off his reputation as the school's number one ladies' man by graduation.

  After returning to university, I was originally assigned to teach at a normal school, but half an hour before reporting for duty, I was informed that my quota had been taken by someone else and was temporarily arranged to go to a rural primary school. Although I worked hard and achieved excellent results, I again offended the principal due to my rebellious personality and was sent to a village primary school.

  Today, the village school merger work officially ended. The school decided to give up Yang Dunning. To be honest, it's just that the principal can't stand him.

  It's all over now, no job, and just broke up with the girlfriend I had just started dating, didn't even get to hold hands once before breaking up, not worth it.

  The unlucky guy finally has nowhere to go.

  Where is the road?

  Yang Dunning did not dare to commit suicide, he was afraid of pain and also feared that after death he would become an ugly corpse.

  Yang Dunning stood up and shouted at the sky with all his might, he who usually didn't talk much today unexpectedly cursed for more than an hour in one breath, and improvised to create a lot of profanity, venting all his dissatisfaction and anger.

  What's the use of venting? How to face life?

  With a long sigh, Yang Dunning wiped the tears that had seeped out of his eyes with his sleeve, whether it was due to excitement, sadness or weakness, and prepared to go down the mountain back to his empty and simple dormitory converted from a classroom - after all, life has to go on, right?

  Little did he know, after drinking his legs were weak and with an unstable center of gravity, Yang Dunning was tripped by a protruding rock on the mountain road and his body flew uncontrollably down the mountain.

  You're really something! Even a stone can bully me! These were Yang Dunning's last words.

  —————————————————————————————————————?

  Yang Duning woke up with his eyes open and felt his body, although weak but not painful at all.

  Are you dreaming?

  Rebirth?

  "No way?"

  "I guess so?"

  "Am I dreaming?"

  What should I do?

  "My goodness, it must be true! How did I accidentally go back to when I was just born?"

  "Damn it, Heaven! You're playing me again, making me come back and experience the desperation of life once more?"

  "What a young and beautiful mother, it's really hard to believe that mom didn't gain much weight when she gave birth to me back then." Through the slightly opened small eyes, Yang Dunning looked at his sleeping mother - Cheng Yun, a long-lost family affection arose. In her previous life, Yang Dunning was filled with guilt towards her parents: unsuccessful career, not filial enough.

  To be able to reincarnate, humph, since Heaven has given me this opportunity, I will absolutely not let it slip away!

  From then on, Yang Yuan Ting's family had one more monster that everyone recognized - Yang Du Ning.

  Everyone watched with a very strange and regretful gaze at everything this little guy showed.

  This child has been almost non-crying and non-laughing since birth, to the point where when he was around one year old, his family thought he was a weak-minded child. Later, through medical diagnosis, it was proven that his IQ is normal, even higher than ordinary children.

  However, the family members still felt very uneasy, so when Yang Dunning was almost three years old, his parents, who came from rural areas, decided to have another child, in case something happened to Yang Dunning and the Yang family would have no descendants.

  Then, when Yang Dunning was three and a half years old, Cheng Yun gave birth to another son for Yang Yuanting, adding a younger brother to Yang Dunning, named Yang Chengbo.

  At that time, Yang Dunning's father, Yang Yuanting, was an ordinary cadre in the Shicheng County Court, and his mother, Cheng Yun, was an ordinary police officer in the Public Security Bureau. The couple were classmates at Southwest University of Political Science and Law, and they had a good impression of each other during their university days. During the "labor reform" period - when university students had to participate in local production and construction - the two exchanged letters constantly, gradually confirming their romantic relationship. In 1970, after graduating, Yang Yuanting came to work in Shicheng County, a remote mountainous area, in response to the party's call. Cheng Yun, who had already stayed in Yibin City to work, gave up this opportunity and followed Yang Yuanting to Shicheng County.

  The couple went through great difficulties to bring the two elderly people from their hometown to Shicheng, where they could live together. At this time, Yang Dunning, who had a younger brother, behaved normally.

  These years, Yang Dunning has been thinking about where his future path is, reflecting on his previous life's various useless performances - if he doesn't change, this life will also be a super unlucky ghost.

  Having walked out of the self-enclosed world for more than three years, Yang Dunning strongly wanted to integrate into this new world and change. I am in control of my own destiny, not heaven. Bring it on! This time, Yang Dunning didn't curse the heavens, but instead made a silent vow in his heart: for this lifetime, he would be like those who had brought harm to many in the online world said - to grasp power and sleep with beautiful women! Who let him be not only unsuccessful in his career in his past life, but also an old bachelor?

  This year, Yang Dunning was three years old, Yang Chengbo was one year old, Yang Yuanting was twenty-six years old, and Cheng Yun was twenty-five years old.

  This year was 1976 AD.

  Kindergarten, primary school, junior high school, high school, Yang Dunning didn't want to skip grades, although it's easy for him to do so now, because he has things to do.

  The first thing he must avoid is repeating past mistakes that will affect future development, such as no longer fighting with classmates and hurting his head.

  The second thing is that he must accumulate start-up funds for himself as quickly as possible, and make a lot of money before working to prepare the first insurance for his career.

  The third thing is to let father not go out for that errand, and play a trick on him instead.

  The fourth thing is to exercise and supplement calcium, can't become a first-class disabled person with a height of 1.62 meters anymore.

  The fifth thing is to learn martial arts, to find a master, and to become a strong person who can protect yourself, your family, and everything you want to protect.

  ……?

  To avoid showing off his superhuman intelligence, Yang Dunning still had to do some silly things from time to time: In the winter, when roasting by the fire, he would throw firecrackers into the brazier and watch as the sparks burned holes in the quilt; He got into a stone-throwing fight with kids of the same age at the public security bureau and ended up getting hit in the left eye corner, requiring three stitches at the hospital; He stacked chairs to sneak cold zongzi from a high cabinet, then had indigestion and was carried by his father for two kilometers to the hospital; In the winter, he would always ask his father to slice some cured meat and roast it on the brazier, but often ended up with blisters on the corners of his mouth from the scalding hot oil; He would also secretly wrap up any occasional meat shreds or pieces in paper during lunch at kindergarten, then sneak them out when lining up to leave school, slowly tearing them apart with his mouth, savoring the delicious smell and temptation, making his classmates drool...

  Yang Dunning has a small notebook that is filled with events from the future that the previous Yang Dunning can remember.

  Yang Yuanting rescued many ancient books from the fire during the destruction of the "Four Olds", and after many times, he filled a large box.

  Yang Dunning practiced a qigong method from an ancient book: "Wuqin Dynamic Qigong". Later, his master confirmed that it was fake, but it turned out to be the real "Nitian Gong", which is more effective when practiced at a younger age.

  Kindergarten, Yang Dunning recruited his first brother: Rong Daoxing, and began to cultivate the first beauty in his mind - Zhou Haixia.

  In elementary school, Yang Dunning was introduced by Guo Yingfeng to her father, the calligraphy master and martial arts master Guo Dong, as his apprentice.

  Yang Yuanting became the president of the Stone City Court, and Yang Dunning finally became a yamen inside the city.

  In July 1985, Yang Dunning graduated from elementary school with the first place in the county and entered Shicheng Middle School, a provincial key middle school.

  At the same time, Yang Dunning has entered the third layer of Ni Tian Gong under the guidance of Guo Dong, and his calligraphy has also won first prize in the National Children's Calligraphy Competition.

  Yang Dunning's small treasure box had been replaced with a large one, which had an additional layer of iron sheeting inside, as it contained over 35,000 yuan.

  Zhou Haixia and Rong Daohang both entered Shicheng Middle School with excellent grades, and coincidentally ended up in the same class as Yang Dunning.

  Unfortunately, Yang Dunning's younger brother Yang Chengbo suffered a severe concussion in an accident and his grades plummeted. However, with the current family background, it would not be a problem for him to attend a key middle school later on.

  Finally, Guo Yingxue was sent by her father to Chengdu to study and temporarily separated from Yang Dunning.
