The legend of the Crimson Demon clan started from Suqing

In the deserted forest, chanting spells aloud and making strange gestures, Zun Zun couldn't explain himself. He was ultimately misunderstood by his overprotective sister as having a case of chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

But thinking about it, it didn't seem like such a bad thing.

Everyone in the Crimson Demon Clan had chuunibyou. Normal people were considered freaks here, while those with chuunibyou were more popular.

He received his New Year's money every year by performing a chuunibyou act in front of his parents. He was already skilled at it.

Besides, most people who worked in mental hospitals had some mental issues themselves. Harley Quinn was a prime example, wasn't she?

In any case.

He needed to focus more on cultivation now.

Unfortunately, his path to becoming a Grand Magister before the age of twelve was blocked. The stubborn clan chief probably wouldn't budge no matter what he said. At the very least, he had to take responsibility and not let Zun Zun become cannon fodder.

But that didn't mean he had no way to cultivate.

Magic was magic, and mana was mana.

Just because he couldn't practice magic didn't mean he couldn't practice mana, right?

He had a new idea.

So-called aptitude—mana—was inherent in everyone's body, not something that only appeared after activating a job card.

In the end, mana was no different from energies like chakra, spiritual power, qi, or even nen. As long as he found the right method, he could continuously increase it. Therefore, he could shamelessly apply other cultivation methods to mana.

And it wasn't just limited to mana cultivation. He couldn't neglect physical training either.

The basic routine would be one hundred sit-ups, one hundred push-ups, one hundred squats, and a ten-kilometer run. The intermediate routine would involve using chakra to climb trees and walk on water to control mana. The advanced routine would be ten thousand sincere, prayer-like, straight punches every day.

His mind took flight, soaring through the ocean of fantasies.

It was then that Zun Zun woke up as if from a dream.

Why seek help from others on the path of cultivation? All sorts of cultivation methods existed in Zun Zun's mind. This was his innate advantage!

No one

understands

cultivation

better

than me.

Zun Zun couldn't help but make the hand gesture of a certain former president.

Besides, don't forget, he had a cheat!

Because he was reincarnated as a baby who needed to grow up slowly, Zun Zun thought that the cheat Aqua had promised was gone too.

But when he didn't feel the negative effects from yesterday, such as muscle aches and numb hands from splitting the mountain with the wooden sword, and instead felt energetic and full of vitality, he knew that the idiot goddess hadn't abandoned him after all. The cheat had been successfully loaded!

—God's Body.

On the list of selectable cheats, Zun Zun chose it at first glance. Not for any other reason than it was the only cheat that could withstand a meteor!

By the way, the cheats weren't chosen randomly.

When he transmigrated, Aqua gave him a stack of lists, and he could only choose one cheat from the limited options.

Of course, Zun Zun also saw familiar and powerful cheats like [Demon Sword Gram], but the reason he didn't choose it was as mentioned earlier. Demon swords couldn't necessarily split meteors, and besides, the upper limit of a demon sword couldn't compare to God's Body, could it?

The description of the cheat was [Possesses a body like a god, allowing oneself to gradually become perfect], a concise explanation that highlighted its upper limit.

The corners of Zun Zun's mouth turned up wildly.

The only problem was that he needed to reactivate or hone his body, which seemed to have a lot to do with him becoming a baby.

...Don't dwell on it too much. Having a cheat was already good enough.

It was a good thing he didn't have a moment of brain freeze and choose the idiot goddess as his cheat like Kazuma Sato, otherwise, it would definitely be chaotic now.

Thank you to the past self who carefully selected the cheat.

Next, he would follow the established cultivation plan and begin his path to becoming stronger!

Cultivation was painful. It wasn't something that could be achieved just by talking. Especially physical training, which constantly teetered on the edge of exhaustion and near collapse every day.

Fortunately, there was the daily [All Stats +1]—which made him feel that he was a little stronger than yesterday—as a meager reward to support him. Otherwise, even with his amazing recovery ability, Zun Zun would develop a resistance to cultivation.

After all, he wasn't Darkness, that perverted female knight, who enjoyed becoming exhausted and the more tired she was, the more excited she became, even developing unusually obvious abdominal muscles in the end.

Wait, didn't that mean he could also develop abdominal muscles?

So he increased the intensity of his training.

He did bald-head training in the morning, followed by ten thousand straight punches. He climbed trees and walked on water in the afternoon, and finished the remaining ten thousand straight punches from afternoon to late at night. When he had time, he would also practice swordsmanship with his overprotective sister. He believed that in the long run, he would soon become the strongest in the Crimson Demon Clan, then defeat the Demon King, become the new clan chief, marry a rich and beautiful woman, and reach the peak of his life.

...That's how it should have been.

Zun Zun thought he would take off like this, but problems still arose to trouble him.

It was a week after he started cultivating.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

After finishing a day of cultivation, Zun Zun returned home exhausted and hungry. Smelling the delicious food made by his overprotective sister, he naturally couldn't resist. He sat down at the dining table and devoured all the dinner like a storm, even before all the dishes were served.

In less than a few minutes, looking at the shiny, clean plates on the table, his overprotective sister, holding the last bowl of thick soup, was completely dumbfounded. She hadn't even had time to pick up her chopsticks!

Looking at her younger brother, who was lying back in his chair, breathing heavily with a bulging belly, the girl was very worried.

"Zun Zun, are you okay...?"

"What?"

"Eating so much, don't you feel uncomfortable? Your appetite has been increasing recently. Has something happened?"

"Th-that... because the dinner made by my overprotective sister is too delicious, I accidentally..."

Zun Zun scratched his head, pretending to be embarrassed.

And it was then that he realized that cultivation required sufficient nutrition, especially physical training.

Even Superman had to bask in the sun to replenish energy and enhance his physical strength. How could Zun Zun not need to take in nutrition? And as everyone knew, the stronger the body, the more high-energy nutrition it needed. At the very least, he had to respect the law of conservation of energy, right?

"I'm very happy that Zun Zun said that. But I've been making more dinner for several days in a row, and I didn't expect it to still be not enough."

"I-is that so..."

"But it's okay, you're at the age where you're growing, so it's good to eat more. Don't worry, tomorrow your sister will prepare more dinner, and of course, the taste won't be lacking either."

"Thank you, overprotective sister, hehe—"

He smiled foolishly on the surface, but this strengthened Zun Zun's determination to do something. After all, nutrition was indispensable for making the body stronger.

But Zun Zun's family wasn't a wealthy one. Although his parents had some savings due to their professions, the more nutrition his body needed, the more unaffordable it would become one day.

Look at the gluttonous Saiyan Son Goku, who ate the originally wealthy Ox-King family into poverty.

If he continued to eat like this, his parents wouldn't say anything, but sitting idle and eating away at their resources wasn't his style, even when he had to sit idle and eat away at resources in his previous life because he was optimized out.

If he didn't want to eat away at the house, bankrupt his family, and have to end up on the streets with his overprotective sister, then he had to find a way to solve the current predicament.

But he was only six years old and had no strength, so he couldn't become an adventurer and do quests to earn money. After thinking about it, there was only one way at the moment, and that was—

Farming and becoming self-sufficient!

Zun Zun never expected that he would eventually switch from an isekai monster-slaying and leveling-up story to an isekai farming slice-of-life story.
