Earned a Few Pennies: Book 74

Also known as: “Snakes Are Great, So Of Course You Should Save One,” “From the Start in Another World: Finding a Snake and an Eagle Fighting, He Helps the Snake,” and “Help the Eagle? What Eagle?”

During a snake-and-eagle fight, Yang Guo helps the giant red snake because he once kept a pet snake in his previous life. Knowing nothing about the story, he names it Medusa.

Later, the giant snake takes human form and begs to repay him.

Yang Guo helplessly looks over at Huang Rong.

Huang Rong: “It's the one that gave me that weird poison all those years ago. You should refuse it.”

Yang Guo: “…”

In 2026, Earth's magnetic field goes haywire. The aurora blankets the sky for seven days, and compasses stop working.

Yang Guo, a devoted bookworm who has just graduated from college, assumes it's merely an astronomical phenomenon, but the authorities urgently recruit him.

Only after entering a remote mountain base does he discover that the aurora is made up of rifts leading to various worlds from Jin Yong's wuxia novels.

This time, he finds himself in the body of Yang Guo, whose fate was full of hardship.

Yang Guo's lips curl into a faint smile. Since he's here, there will be no more regrets.

What? His Aunt Guo, Huang Rong, is peerlessly clever? That's only because she hasn't met a worthy opponent.

What? Long'er is aloof and otherworldly? That's because she doesn't understand the joys of worldly life.

This is a slow-burn story about traveling between two worlds, with a focus on psychological mind games and emotional push and pull.
