Check in to become stronger in Devouring Star

Swallowing Stars world, YZ City, South Bank Community

“I’m back,”

Qin Hao said, opening the door and stepping inside.

“You’re back? Come and eat quickly,”

Seeing Qin Hao enter, his parents, Qin Hai and his wife, began bringing dishes out from the kitchen.

“Gege!”

Qin Hao had just responded and placed his bag in his room when he came out to see a figure wobbling towards him while calling out. Qin Hao quickly took two steps forward and scooped his younger sister into his arms, carrying her to the dining table and placing her on a chair.

“How was studying today?”

“Not bad, getting into Jiangnan First Military Academy shouldn’t be a problem,”

Qin Hao said. He had been in the Swallowing Stars world for almost 18 years, and he hadn't expected to still face the fate of taking the college entrance exam. Originally, as a transmigrator with foreknowledge, he wanted to make a name for himself. From a young age, he had focused on exercising and reading various philosophical classics.

However, after joining the Ultimate Martial Arts Gym at sixteen and training until now, he only had 500kg of strength, a far cry from becoming a quasi-martial artist. In a world that revolved around cultivation, his talent was only average, which was quite disappointing for Qin Hao. But, he still had a chance in the later stages when Luo Feng entered the universe and cultivated the Earthlings.

After all, although his cultivation talent was ordinary, Qin Hao had gained a lot in terms of mental fortitude from his years of studying classical philosophy.

“Good, good, what gift do you want for your birthday tomorrow?”

Hearing Qin Hao’s answer, Qin Hai and his wife were very happy. Graduates from Jiangnan First Military Academy didn’t have to worry about finding a job, ensuring a stable income regardless of circumstances, which was the best choice for ordinary people.

“Birthday, birthday, cake, cake!”

Qin Ying, who was beside them, heard the word birthday, her eyes lit up, and she began to shout.

“A big meal together will be fine, and Xiaoying’s favorite cake,”

Pinching Qin Ying’s small face, Qin Hao said.

In the past 18 years, Qin Hao had fully integrated into the world of Swallowing Stars. After dinner, he played with his younger sister, Qin Ying, for a while before returning to his room to study. Qin Hao’s home, like many families in the South Bank Community, wasn’t large, about forty square meters, with two bedrooms, a living room, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It was a bit cramped, but very cozy.

“Knock, knock, knock, Xiaohao, it’s eleven o’clock, hurry up and rest,”

Qin Hao was studying when a soft knock sounded, and his mother’s voice came through the door.

“Okay, I’ll finish studying this last bit and then get ready to rest,”

Qin Hao replied, continuing his studies. Having experienced life once, Qin Hao understood that for ordinary people, the college entrance exam was the moment to change their fate. Entering the First Military Academy and utilizing the resources of the academy and the military to become a martial artist was currently the fastest way for him to change his family's situation. Without talent, he could only rely on hard work.

At half-past eleven, Qin Hao finished studying, tidied up, and after a simple wash, lay in bed, closing his eyes, but he couldn’t fall asleep.

It had been almost eighteen years since he came to this world, and he had wondered if he would have a golden finger, a system, or a grandpa figure, but after waiting for eighteen years, none of them had appeared. Just like his birthday, April 1st, April Fool’s Day, he was just a transmigrator who had been fooled.

However, being able to live a second life and witness a vast world, with the future possibility of seeing the universe, was also a good experience. While looking at the ceiling, Qin Hao thought about the various novels he had read in his previous life and his feelings about Swallowing Stars.

“Ding!”

A voice rang in his mind, pulling Qin Hao back from his thoughts.

“What sound?” Qin Hao sat up, looked around, and listened carefully to the surrounding sounds. In the silent night and the dark room, there was no sound at all.

“System? System… Open the interface… Loading… Golden finger activated… Transformation…” He tentatively shouted all the passwords he knew to activate the golden finger or system, but there was still no response. Qin Hao’s slightly raised heart fell again.

“Calm down, calm down.” Eighteen years of mental cultivation allowed Qin Hao to quickly calm down. He closed his eyes and felt the simple interface in front of him. Even if it was simple, it was still a golden finger, something that could change his fate. Looking at the interface, there was nothing but the check-in button.

“This is a bad review, there isn’t even an explanation, just a check-in. I don’t even know what the rules are, whether it’s a daily check-in, monthly check-in, or location check-in. I guess I’ll have to figure it out myself.” Although he was complaining, the excitement in Qin Hao’s heart was hard to hide.

“Check-in!”

Feeling the interface in front of him, Qin Hao’s heart stirred, and as his thoughts changed, the check-in button in front of him was pressed, and text appeared.

Check-in successful!

First annual check-in, reward: Meteorite Tear!

First check-in location, Earth, reward: One Qi Transforms into Three Purities!

As the text appeared, two streams of light flew out from the text and merged into Qin Hao’s body. Subsequently, the check-in interface changed again, turning gray.

After the two streams of light merged with Qin Hao, Qin Hao also felt the changes. In his sea of consciousness, two crystals floated within. One was a blood-red tear-like crystal, which should be the Meteorite Tear. One of the golden fingers of Qin Yu, the protagonist of Stellar Transformations, the crystallization of the soul and life force of Zuo Qiumei, the Life Godking, containing the soul laws and spatial laws that Zuo Qiumei comprehended before her death, allowing the female lead Jiang Li to become a Godking.

Although the laws of the two worlds were different, the realm corresponding to the Godking of Stellar Transformations in the Swallowing Stars world should definitely not be weaker than the Eternal True God, or even the same existence as the Godking. After all, in both worlds, the two realms above the Godking were transcendent existences.

Although the Meteorite Tear couldn’t allow him to rise rapidly now, it was a life-saving weapon and could also accelerate his cultivation. Maybe he could try to break through to become a martial artist before the college entrance exam.

Next to the Meteorite Tear was a cyan crystal, and within the cyan crystal, three streams of light were moving rapidly, as if they were about to rush out at any moment. Looking at the cyan crystal in front of him, Qin Hao was also very curious. One Qi Transforms into Three Purities was the divine power of the Saint Lord Laozi of the Daoist Trinity, which could create three Saint-level clones.

Then, could the one in front of him be this divine power?

Even in different worlds, Saints were top-tier existences. Even the world of Swallowing Stars didn’t surpass the Primordial World. After all, in the Primordial World, the Grand Luo Golden Immortal was already an existence transcending the river of time, immortal and indestructible, controlling everything, and creating worlds and universes was not a problem.

Thinking this, Qin Hao’s mind moved closer to the cyan crystal. The moment the cyan crystal came into contact with Qin Hao, it shattered directly, and three streams of light merged into Qin Hao’s body. Qin Hao understood One Qi Transforms into Three Purities. In the world of Swallowing Stars, One Qi Transforms into Three Purities had evolved into three clones of his own, which were conceived at the planetary, cosmic, and domain lord levels respectively.

However, unlike the clones conceived in Swallowing Stars, these Three Purities were conceived from Qin Hao himself as the foundation. Taking the laws as the root, the three corpses as the spirit, the three souls as the origin, and himself as the blueprint, the clones were conceived. Moreover, although the clones were actually conceived at the planetary, cosmic, and domain lord levels, they had already begun to be conceived when Qin Hao merged with the One Qi Transforms into Three Purities divine power. The souls of the clones already existed, waiting for Qin Hao to reach the realm and the energy to accumulate before they would break free.

“This is maxing out all the life-saving methods.”

Feeling the magic of One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, Qin Hao couldn’t help but sigh. Whether it was the Meteorite Tear or One Qi Transforms into Three Purities, they were more life-saving methods. However, for Qin Hao, the most important thing at this stage was how to improve his strength and become a martial artist.

“I don’t know when the next check-in will be, or what the rules are.” Although Qin Hao was very satisfied with this simple golden finger, he was more helpless about the unknown rules.

“I should plan to become a martial artist first. There’s less than four months until Luo Feng becomes a martial artist. To keep up with the plot, I have to start working hard.” Qin Hao began to calculate how to break through to become a martial artist in a short period of time, and finally set his sights on the Meteorite Tear in his sea of consciousness.
