Li Qingzhou always thought transmigrating meant going off to become someone's grandpa. Then Gaia told him, “No, you're going to study abroad.”
Two years learning the language, ten years building a foundation, and two hundred years to achieve mastery, then he could return and help rebuild his homeland.
The problem was that other students returned home to deliver takeout, while Li Qingzhou had to save the world.
And the bigger problem was that from the start, he was eight years old, a beggar, with his whole family dead and his enemy digging up his family's land.
To survive, he had no choice but to max out all twenty-four years' worth of people skills.
To the shopkeeper, he was, “I'm here to work.” To the heiress, “I'll help you soar one day.” To the beggar gang leader, “Master Ba, please hear me out...”
This is the story of how a little beggar used medicine and brains to become the “perfect child everyone else's parents wish they had” in the world of immortal cultivation, and ultimately pinned Gaia, who had tossed him there in the first place, to the ground and gave her a thorough beating.
(Note: This is a cultivation novel, but brains do most of the work. If you're not into overpowered, invincible heroes, feel free to give it a try.)
