Qin Guan smiled at the lens, looking free and splendid. Amid the sound of the Fate Symphony, he turned the steering wheel in a restrained way.
It was just the first turn, but the people in the car seemed to be flying up in the sky. Qin Guan moved his shoulders slightly, his arms stretching and relaxing.
The cameraman dared not cry out, but he was weeping silently. Qin Guan opened his mouth wider and wider, until he was laughing happily.
He sped up on the rugged road. Not long afterwards, the road started gradually becoming even. Qin Guan’s view was broader now, indicating that they had left behind the most dangerous part of the road.
The beach was flat, the setting sun drooping over it. Its orange light brought the sea and the sky together as the waves sparkled.
Qin Guan stomped on the brakes and turned the steering wheel to take a last leap. After a beautiful turn, the silver car used the force of friction to stop on the beach. Qin Guan looked out front and took a perfect pose.
As soon as the car stopped, the cameraman unfastened his seatbelt and got out. After taking a few steps, he threw up, shocking the crew.
"What about you? Are you okay?"
Qin Guan shut the door and ran up to the gentle young man, feeling a little guilty.
"I’m fine. Let’s check the playback. Quick!"
The director waved at his crew. Before leaving, he patted Qin Guan on the back. "Good job!"
He walked dizzily back to the car, praying silently. Please! The shooting must go on! Please! I’ll never drive with that angelic-looking monster again!
Everyone gathered to watch the playback on a laptop. The exterior of the car looked perfect. Even the tire tracks on the road were clear. The interior of the car looked just as good. The texture of the leather seats made it look like an oil painting.
The lips, eyes, beautiful wrist watch, elegant movements and splendid smile of the model were perfect, and so was his last pose. Every shot was like a picture telling the story of a talented young man.
"Perfect!" Everyone started cheering after watching the film. Few advertisement actors could do this in one shot, let alone give such a wonderful performance.
The director of Cadillac was shaking hands warmly with Qin Guan, who was about to leave. Qin Guan had saved them a lot of money.
Cong Nianwei was waiting for him under the sunset, wearing a big straw hat. Qu cast a supercilious look at Qin Guan behind her sunglasses. After working hard, Qin Guan needed some food to reward himself.
Qu became the shameless third wheel, grinding her teeth as she followed the lovers. Looking at the map, they found their next destination: HOUSTON.
HOUSTON was a chain restaurant famous for its various American dishes. Its delicious food made it popular among the locals in California.
A waiter led them to their reserved seats. The open kitchen was just across from them. There were no partitions, so every customer could see the chefs at work.
They seated themselves and realized none of the patrons were focused on their food. None, but a blonde lady at a table on the left side of the restaurant. She had thick lips and a straight nose. Her mysterious deep blue eyes were her most charming feature.
As insiders of the fashion circle, Qin Guan and Qu recognized the girl at once. It was Paris Whitney Hilton, one of the heirs of the Hilton family. She was a frequent guest at Hollywood fashion events, but she was more famous for her romantic affairs than her work.
Well-behaved actors considered her a troublemaker.
Qin Guan shot a look at the window and saw some reporters outside, taking pictures of the controversial star and trying to guess why she was in the restaurant.
"Look at all those reporters, Qin Guan! Will there be any trouble?"
"Don't worry. They will behave. They won’t dare enter the restaurant."
"That’s not what I meant. If they saw you, wouldn’t they fabricate more stories?"
Qin Guan paused before smiling again. "Impossible! They have no time to look at me. Paris Hilton is over there!"
The waiter served them their steaks.
There was a whole rare ribeye on each plate. Juices were dripping out, mixed with a little blood. The meat was so tender, it melted in their mouths. The salty mashed potato and parsley dressing increased their appetite even more.
There was also a unique sauce and pepper powder produced by the restaurant.
The feast was a big surprise for everyone. The prices were also reasonable, which was why the place was so popular. The average was about 40 dollars each.


Qin Guan was reborn and sent back to his final semester in High School 18 years ago. Getting a second chance at life, he works hard to turn things around and eventually become a Prince Charming. What will his life be like the second time around? What will he have to go through? How will he succeed in turning from a loser into a Prince Charming? Read this story carefully and find out!

Matthew pushed himself off a tree as he walked by it, still massaging his head. 

After the headache died down he tried to practice using his Glaive, but training apparently requires both stamina and focus and with his focus still pretty low it wasn't a very pretty sight. He ended up lying on the ground until noon. Deciding that finding shelter was more important and that staying in an open plain probably didn't count as shelter, or at least not as a good one, Matthew slapped his cheeks together and mustered his courage to walk into the woods.

The plains he had awoken in were surrounded by forest on all sides, with a single hill in the centered. The forest wasn't particularly frightening, filled with lush greenery and flowers, but there is no such thing as too cautious. His gait was steady but someone jerkish, partially due to lack of practice, but also because of his fear and current headache. The only reason he wasn't stumbling around was his Agility. 

After an hour of walking, Matthew heard the sound of a stream in the distance. Considering the time of day and assuming the sun sets in the west here, as his instinct told him it did, then the river was northeast of his location. 

Deciding that water was most important to him right now as he did not know how large the forest was, he changed course for the river. Besides, don't animals have some kind of 'no fighting' rule around water sources, so it was probably the safest place anyway unless piranhas were a thing here. But as he seemed to be safe for the past hour, the forest was probably safe. 

There were no berries or anything though, just flowers everywhere, and the air was kinda chilly, so Matthew assumed it was probably early springtime. There was no snow so it probably melted a day or two ago, and the lack of beasts could be a result of hibernation. With the lack of food, there was no reason to wake up or come out of their hiding places. In that regard, the <Item Card - Minotaur Steak> x5 seems to have come with good reason. He may have starved to death without them.

"But it's odd how there's no winter beast or plant here. Are they just rare, or do they die off or hide in caves during spring, summer, and autumn just like the other creatures do for winter. But isn't that a really small window for survival. Ahh, maybe winter's really harsh here so nothing can survive, so everything adapted to just hide. Hmmm, if that's the case, then it's a good thing I didn't wake up when it was winter then," Matthew murmured to himself.

After a few minutes of walking and a scraped knee, because rocks are deadly, Matthew found himself at a stream, and unsurprisingly the only place filled with life, as there were small fish swimming all over the place.

"I don't have any container for the water, but that won't be much of a problem. The stream has to start and end somewhere, hopefully somewhere outside this forest, so I can try following it. The only problem is that I don't know which side leads out of the forest and which leads deeper in. Wait a minute, this stream flows south, which according to my mind map is where I came from, so then the chances of going downstream leading me outside are a lot less, so going upstream is my best bet," Matthew concluded as he began to walk upstream.

Of course, the time already being late, and Matthew unwilling to take more risk than necessary, it wasn't before he climbed a tree and did his best to get comfortable. He kept his Glaive on him at all times in case he was attacked at night and didn't take off his armor either. The waxing crescent moon was already beginning its ascent.

The forest was silent even then. But that would soon change.

[Daily Fortune: 6]

"Yaw-oww. My back hurts, damn it. I need to get out of this place, I won't be able to stay in this place much long- ..." Matthew was interrupted by the sound of his own growling stomach. He hadn't eaten anything the entire time. "... I'll fix that first I guess." And so, Matthew started collecting firewood. 

He managed to get a few pieces, barely enough to start an actual fire. Now the problem was starting the fire. Unsure of what else to do, Matthew decided to try using magic.

Four Minutes Later ...

Matthew rubbed his head to ease the pain as a small fire burned in front of him. His clothes had a bit of blood on them and in the distance, one could see an ugly rodent's corpse flung to the side.

[Spell Book Gained: Flame T1
[Spell Gained: Ignite

Matthew had begun to concentrate again, but this time focused just on mana. He was more careful this time and was able to grasp a small bit of mana, which he then carefully directed to the stack of wood and imagined fire. It took 2 full minutes of concentration before he was able to ignite the wood, in response to which Matthew celebrated quite loudly despite his mental exhaustion, and woke up a rodent who made a winter nest not far from his location.

The rodent was careful for the first 5 seconds, but after seeing that its prey was preoccupied with something else, it rushed at Matthew, much to the boy's horror.

Matthew then rushed to grab his Glaive and, by pure luck, managed to stab his assailant with its back end, which resulted in said assailant spraying blood all over him, before flinging the unsightly creature as far away as he could.

Considering the fact that the rodent gave him 4 gacha points, it seems the beast was 2 levels above him, so it was Lv 3 at the time of its death. 2 Levels higher and yet it only gave 15.1% Exp. He'd have to kill three more of them to get to level 2 at this rate, although making spells seemed to give quite of bit of experience.

Matthew began murmuring to himself as he rubbed his head, "That's weird. Nothing attacked me yesterday, and yet now I've already been attacked and it's still morning. Maybe it just has to do with the fact that my fortune stat was higher yesterday? Yeah, I should probably be more careful, no, I should definitely be more careful now. Don't want to tick off anything stronger than I can handle. Anyway, at least I didn't exhaust myself completely this time. Still, considering the effort, I probably shouldn't try again, although maybe it had something to do with the fact that it's a new spell. *Growl*.  Oh, right the steak."

And so Matthew, still full of appetite, began to prepare his steak, all while begging he wouldn't attract anything too dangerous. He'd already given up on not attracting something when he realized how good the steak smelled. 

After checking that the steak had no more lingering blood, he grabbed a few large sticks and grasses to make a net, before grabbing some sturdier one to create legs for the net to stand on, before placing the net over the fire, at a distance where the meat could cook but not burn. Seeing as he had no seasonings, he decided to just cook the steak as it was. Thing is, the steak was large. If he had to say how large, it was probably around 24 oz. The average Ribeye Steak was only 16 oz. It was pretty big for one person to eat alone. That also meant it would take longer than usual to cook.

As for how he made the makeshift cooking tool without a skill for it, Dexterity and Creativity are pretty damn useful, especially when put together.

In the meantime, Matthew went to bathe in the river. In doing so, he noticed something he never did before. How he looked. 

Before when he was drinking water, he wasn't paying to anything but the water, but now that he was bathing, he actually paid attention to his appearance. After all, how could he properly clean off the dirt if he couldn't see it?

The first thing he noticed was that he was short. The second thing he noticed is that he had black hair. Then he noticed his emerald green eyes. He had already noticed his milky white skin and small hands when he was putting on his <Item Card - Leather Overcoat>. He also realized he was really thin, and that, overall, he barely looked 12 years old, possibly even younger.

"Huh, Am I really this young? I mean my age is an error, so I can't really tell, but there's no way I am this young right?" Matthew was surprised at his youthful appearance. He was expecting to be a bit young since his skin was so smooth, but not to this extent. 

The overcoat looked cool on him though, but it would be nicer if it was black. Maybe he can dye it? Is he even allowed to change items, would he still be able to turn them back into cards, or would they be locked out? Can he turn regular items into cards?

As he thought, Matthew grabbed a rock from the river and thought about turning it into a card.

[Tutorial Activated: Card Conversion requires the item to first be in one's inventory and an appropriate amount of Gacha Points for items that weren't cards before. For items that were cards at one point in its history, there is no cost or restriction in converting it back into a card, and all changes will be saved. Skills can also be converted but you must personally know the skill first, and the cost is higher.]

"Ohh, I see. Well, that's nice. Still, a cost huh. Oh right, upgrading and merging is a thing so I guess converting skills would be smart, so there's a bit of a balance. I should check that out later when I've stored up some points, my situation right now is a bit uncertain but, wait, since upgrading is a thing, maybe I can improve my armor, or perhaps my weapon, or maybe I should focus on my skills," Matthew murmured to himself after reading the tutorial while he bathed and swam around the river.

Once he felt content with is cleanliness, which only took 16 minutes, he washed his overcoat before letting it dry. Once it was done, he once again put it on. By that time the steak was ready.

As eating utensils were not part of his memory, and he didn't have any, to begin with, Matthew bit pieces of off the steak and chewed them. It was delicious, even without seasoning. He stopped eating once he was done with half of the steak. His stomach hurt from overeating. After that, he turned the steak back into a card. Since it was originally a card anyway, there was no cost.

[The 'Item Card- Raw Minotaur Steak' has converted into 'Item Card - Half-Eaten Minotaur Steak'

"Now then, let's see," Matthew said as he converted his Glaive back into a card and thought of upgrading it.

[Would you like to upgrade 'Item Card - Iron Glaive'
[ <Yes> or <No>

[Confirmed, would you like to spend 3 Gacha Points, and upgrade 'Item Card - Iron Glaive' into;
[Item Card - Sharpened Iron Glaive

A boy awoke in the middle of a small plain surrounded on all sides by forest. He had a few fragmented pieces of knowledge and a unique Gacha system.

His name was Matthew, and he awoke in the world of Geavergnis. A land filled with many strange powers and odd beings, filled to the brim with constant conflict.

In this land, kingdoms fall every day by hordes, empires rise overnight, titans can live for an eternity, and gods can fall in mere instants.

In this world, Matthew finds his life, his purpose, and his power. In this world, he writes his tale into the tomes of eternity.

This is the haphazard tale of a boy who wanders through an unfathomably large world gaining power through his gift and his encounters as he seeks discovery, not only of the world but of himself.

"The scenery in Bazhaixiang is actually very beautiful." Tian Qi looked at the sunset with a smile on her face. She then glanced at Ling Ran. She could not help but be in an extremely good mood. It was like every cell in her body was happy.
Ling Ran nodded slightly and said, "The average altitude of Bazhaixiang is relatively high, and the place gets sufficient rainfall. Hence, the plants grow in a pretty different environment compared to Yun Hua City."
"But it's very beautiful, isn't it?"
"It's very beautiful." Ling Ran looked at Tian Qi.
Tian Qi flashed a sweet smile. She grabbed a glass of red wine and said, "Oh, by the way, I made this batch of red wine. Why don't you give it a try and tell me if it's nice?"
"I rarely drink any alcohol." Even though Ling Ran said that, he still grabbed the wine glass before him and took a small sip.
The red wine was thick, and even though it was slightly bitter, it formed a rich taste together with the sweetness.
"Does it taste good?" Tian Qi was very concerned about Ling Ran's opinion of the wine.
"It's pretty good. The taste of tannin isn't that strong." Ling Ran swayed the wine glass skillfully.
"You said that you rarely drink any alcohol, but you do drink, don't you?" Tian Qi was a clever woman, and she immediately realized something after pondering about Ling Ran's words. "Is Madam Ling the one who taught you how to drink?"
"Yes." Ling Ran smiled and nodded.
"Hm… if that's the case, should I give Madam Ling some red wine? But… it might not be a very appropriate gift." Tian Qi was conflicted.
Ling Ran lowered his head and started cutting his steak.
As usual, Chef Zhu was the one who grilled the steak today. It was a Brazillian Zebu, and it tasted very beefy. The Zebu had slimmed down a little after being reared in Yun Hua for a few months. However, it still tasted just as delicious. It had been grilled over blazing flames, and all of the juice was locked inside the meat.
Ling Ran cut his steak skilfully, and he cut himself a large chunk of beef. He placed the chunk of beef in his mouth and started chewing it. He was tired after performing surgeries for many consecutive days, and this was mainly mental fatigue. After this mouthful of steak, it was as if all the fatigue had dissipated.
For every few mouthfuls of steak Ling Ran ate, he would take a sip of wine. Soon, he finished the large chunk of ribeye steak.
Chef Zhu was wearing a tall toque, and he asked politely as he stood beside Ling Ran with his hands clasped behind his back, "Doctor Ling, do you want a New York strip steak? I've just finished grilling it."
"Sure." Ling Ran immediately agreed without bothering to put on a polite front. He was rather excited about the steak.
Three attendants walked over. One of them cleared Ling Ran's plate, while another cleaned the table as well as the table cloth. The third attendant placed a New York strip steak on the table. There were some marks on the steak courtesy of the grill.
Compared with the juicy and tender ribeye steak, the New York strip steak, which was made with boneless sirloin, was more coarse and elastic. It was perfect to eat a New York strip steak after a ribeye steak, as the person eating it would not become tired of eating steak, and would also be able to taste the uniqueness of the steak.
Truth be told, the main attractions of both Brazillian steak and American steak were their juiciness and beefiness, as both kinds of steak were mainly made up of lean meat. Steaks made using Australian or Japanese wagyu beef were so greasy that people would get sick of them after eating half a pound of them. If a person were to eat a catty or two pounds of these at one go, he might not crave for steak again for the rest of his life.
In contrast to Australian and Japanese wagyu steak, New York strip steak was made out of more lean meat. Hence, it was more suitable for those with a big appetite.
The New York strip steak in front of Ling Ran was around 1.5 pounds. He felt tremendously satisfied as he paired it with a glass of red wine.
Tian Qi was done eating a while back. She held her glass of red wine and took slow sips. She glanced at the beautiful scenery, and then at Ling Ran. This filled her heart with happiness. At this moment, even though she was in Bazhaixiang, she found the scenery extremely beautiful, and she felt that this was the happiest place on earth.
"If a vacation home were built here, it should be a very comfortable place to stay in." Tian Qi gazed down the cliff, and she was able to get a good view of the scenery below her.
Ling Ran followed Tian Qi's gaze and did not disagree with what she said. "If the vacation home is easily accessible, I'll give it a 70 out of 100."
"Oh, is that so? This place is great, but it's not unique enough." Tian Qi then looked at Ling Ran and asked, "Doctor Ling, do you like vacation homes?"
"I've never been to one, but I don't want to stay too far away from the hospital." Ling Ran swallowed the beef in his mouth, and he looked like a lion who was swallowing its prey. He raised his head a little as he spoke.
Tian Qi nodded in agreement. "Yeah, it would be such a waste for you to spend time traveling when you could use that time to save patients' life instead. But compared to other places in Changxi Province, the scenery in Bazhaixiang is really beautiful. If you travel in a straight line, it's not too far from Yun Hua City either. If an expressway were built, this would be a pretty good place to stay."
Tian Qi looked at her administrative secretary, who was standing not far away from her.
Her administrative secretary was an obedient-looking woman. She was wearing black-rimmed spectacles, a pair of flats, and old-fashioned office wear. She quickly made some notes on her laptop and said, "Right now, the leaders of Changxi Province welcome those who want to help rebuild Bazhaixiang very much. If we were to build a small housing area or a nursing home here, I reckon that reception would be good. Should I ask someone to make an analysis report?"
"Sure." Tian Qi gave an affirmative answer.
The administrative secretary faded back into the background.
Tian Qi turned to look at Ling Ran again. She suddenly said in embarrassment, "Sorry, Doctor Ling. I could not help but talk about work."
"It's okay, I like work too." Ling Ran raised his head to glance at her. He then continued cutting his steak.
Tian Qi flashed a smile that was as beautiful as the sunset.
…..
By the time they were done with dinner, the sun had set almost completely.
Ling Ran and Tian Qi left in a helicopter. Two vans that were parked in the forest drove over to collect the cooking equipment, leftover ingredients, and the small amount of trash.
On the vans' way back to the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, they even helped a driver out. The driver's car had broken down in the middle of the road. Naturally, cars in Bazhaixiang were not that well-maintained.
After Ling Ran arrived at the hospital, he did not return to the operating theater. He glanced at his phone before he returned to his room to play a game on his phone.
After the roads that led to Yun Hua City became usable, Changping District Hospital's Bazhaixiang hospital branch was flooded with doctors from all over the province who went there to help out.
Ling Ran never liked the crowd, and he hated crowded hospitals even more. Hence, at a time like this, he did not bother to join the legion of doctors in the hospital branch and squeeze into the operating theater.
After losing a few games, Ling Ran suppressed the desire to start a new game. He thought for a moment about what to do before opening the WeChat app on his phone. He sent a message to his treatment group's chat group. [Summarize the evaluation of target lesions in the human liver.]
After he sent the message, Ling Ran covered himself with his blanket. He felt at ease as he went to sleep.
The following day, the Bazhaixiang hospital branch became even livelier than before. Naturally, fewer tasks were allocated to the Ling Treatment Group.
As Zuo Cidian was worried that Ling Ran would be unhappy, he waited for Ling Ran at the door and said, "All the patients now are basically just here for common illnesses. At most, there are some regulars who utilize the subsidy that's being given now to seek treatment so that they could save some money. Two or three doctors would be enough to see to these patients. Right now, there are six or seven medical teams present, and there are around twenty or thirty doctors. There's nothing much for us to do."
Ling Ran nodded, but he corrected Zuo Cidian. "The patients who were transferred here will stay."
Zuo Cidian shrugged. "They're all from the same village. How many patients could there be? Why don't you take the opportunity to rest for a few days?"
There were not many patients left, and the doctors from the medical teams who came after the roads were usable were extremely proactive as they fought to carry out all the available tasks. Truth be told, Lu Wenbin and the other members of the Ling Treatment Group were already extremely tired, and Zuo Cidian did not think that they would be able to perform better than the fresh manpower.
Ling Ran thought about it and said, "I'll go and debride wounds at the emergency room, then."
"Debridement… There aren't many patients who need debridement. But you can go ahead if you're bored," Zuo Cidian said helplessly. There were almost ten thousand people in Yun Hua City, and whenever a person got hurt, their first choice would always be large hospitals such as Yun Hua Hospital. But in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, it was well possible that there would not be any patient who sustained external injuries for days.
However, even in the Bazhaixiang hospital branch, the doctors who were there on the rescue mission did not like to treat patients with minor injuries in the emergency room. So, they would not fight for the task with Ling Ran.
Hence, Ling Ran headed to the emergency room, the same way he always did in Yun Hua Hospital. He sat and did nothing as he waited for patients to arrive.
Zuo Cidian stared ahead as he sat behind Ling Ran. He was ready to start daydreaming.
Right then, a middle-aged woman whose hand was wrapped using a towel arrived on a motorbike.
"Doctor!" the driver of the motorbike growled. He hopped down the motorbike and carried the middle-aged woman off the motorbike. He suddenly tripped, and both of them fell to the ground.
Everyone in the emergency room went silent for a moment.
Only then did a nurse push a gurney over. It took six people to put the patient on the gurney.
"How did she get hurt?" Ling Ran asked as he followed them into the reception hall.
"Our house is being renovated, and she accidentally got stabbed by the sharp end of a piece of wood." The driver of the motorbike was around forty years old. He rested a hand on his waist as he panted.
"I'm going to remove the towel." Ling Ran put on a pair of gloves and called a nurse over to help him out. He then started removing the towel.
That was when a reporter who was holding a camera walked over.


Ling Ran, a med school senior, begins to see the world like a game UI. He uses it to pave his way towards graduation, a residency, becoming the greatest doctor in the world... And finally getting a Transformer from his newbie packs? Maybe. We don't know yet.
