In the evening, the moon hung high in the sky. Although it wasn't yet August 15th, the moon above Yuecheng already shone like a silver platter, radiating its brilliant splendor.

The Moon City lives up to its name, with a moon unlike any other place in the Xia Kingdom. The people of Moon City cherish nothing more than gazing at the moon. In groups of three or five, they gather together, making appointments at small pavilions, enjoying themselves while admiring the bright moon.

But today was destined to be an extraordinary day. Under the bright moonlight, streaks of shooting stars crossed the sky, and countless lovelorn men made vows here under the heavens.

At this moment, a handsome young man with a worried expression stood on the Wawang Bridge, leaning on the railing and sighing deeply.

"It's really worrying, I'm telling you, grandpa, aren't you deceiving me? You keep talking about a family heirloom, but I honestly don't see what use this thing is!"

This male student plays the role of Tang Yu, a recent graduate. Just like many other new graduates, he is unemployed after graduation. Looking at the small book in his hand titled "Celestial Medicine Sutra", Tang Yu feels like crying.

The Tang family had been a lineage of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, but unfortunately, with the rise of Western medicine these days, traditional Chinese medicine was struggling to survive. His grandfather only managed to eke out a living by running a small pharmacy in their county town.

There is a kind of bird in this world that cannot fly on its own, so it has to give birth to offspring that can fly very well.

His grandfather placed all his hopes on Tang Yu and also gave him a medical book, claiming it was a treasured heirloom passed down through generations. He told Tang Yu to study it diligently. Tang Yu was expected to revive the family and revitalize traditional Chinese medicine. Therefore, when he went to college, he chose the major of Traditional Chinese Medicine Diagnosis.

That book Tang Yu read, but the conclusion he drew was that it was useless, and no one could actually learn from it. Besides, if it were really a good book, why would it be used as a doorstop? Isn't that just fooling people?!

Actually, this book was written for my own father. But unexpectedly, shortly after I was born, a car accident took both of them, leaving only me and my grandfather to depend on each other.

Tang Yu originally went to many hospitals for interviews with a fluke, but when they heard that he studied traditional Chinese medicine, they directly drove him away.

And the most suffocating sentence Tang Yu heard during the interview was: "Studying traditional Chinese medicine, what use is there to traditional Chinese medicine? What can traditional Chinese medicine do? Now all we do is take X-rays. Who still uses pulse diagnosis?"

But it happened to rain all night, and my lease was up. The landlord just threw my stuff out, and I had to beg him for three more days. But today is the third day, and if I can't find a job tomorrow, I'll have to sleep on the streets.

Remembering these things, Tang Yu only felt that his life had become utterly bleak.

Just then, a shout rang out: “Oh no, someone is going to jump into the lake! Come quickly!”

Upon hearing the sound, Tang Yu was startled. He raised his head and looked in the direction from which the sound came. He saw on the Wàngqiáng Bridge, about ten meters away from him, a white figure with long hair swaying back and forth. Half of her body leaned against the railing, which wasn't very high, and she fell directly down!

"Damn it!"

Seeing this, Tang Yu's eyes widened instantly. This was a matter of life and death, as a responsible and kind young man, how could he stand idly by? Besides, looking at the person's state, it didn't seem like suicide, more like they had fainted!

At this moment, the bridge is crowded with onlookers, all chattering and discussing. Some kindhearted people have already called the police, but everyone looks hesitant and no one seems willing to go down and save the person.

Tang Yu passed through the crowd and looked down at the lake. He also gasped in surprise. He finally knew why no one went down, because on a warning sign not far away, it was written that there were water snakes in the lake, and they were highly poisonous!

However, seeing the struggling child, Tang Yu gritted his teeth. His luck shouldn't be that bad. Thinking this, Tang Yu placed the medical book and his own backpack in the hands of the elderly woman beside him and quickly said: “Grandma, hold my backpack for me, I’m going down to save the person.”

Saying that, Tang Yu directly shoved his things into the other person's hands, and without waiting for the other person to agree, he jumped off the bridge!

Seeing someone go down to save the person, the onlookers also let out a surprised cry, sighing that the young man's courage was truly great. If he were bitten by a snake, he would really be dead for sure! However, there was also admiration in the eyes of the crowd. Not everyone has such courage.

Of course, Tang Yu didn't know what everyone was thinking. But the moment he jumped down, he regretted it, because he forgot one fact: that he was a landlubber and couldn't swim!

"Oh no, oh no, oh no! I completely forgot about such an important matter. Now look at this, I tried to be a hero but ended up getting myself killed along with him. Someone who didn't know better would think we both died together in a sacrifice."

Before Tang Yu could finish thinking, he heard a 'dong' sound and fell into the lake.

The moment Tang Yu fell into the lake, he felt a jolt. This water was really cold! However, the next moment, Tang Yu felt the lake water rushing towards him, and as he splashed in the water, he sank deeper and deeper.

However, at this moment, no one was looking at Tang Yu. Instead, they were all staring dumbfoundedly at a meteor in the air. This meteor was actually getting bigger and bigger, heading straight for the lake water. If this thing hit, both the people below and Tang Yu would have no chance of survival?

"Bang!"

The next moment, the meteor didn't hesitate for a moment and smashed straight into the small lake. In an instant, waves as high as seven or eight meters erupted from the center of the lake!

"This is terrible, that little child and the young man are probably in danger!"

Upon seeing this sight, the crowd gasped in astonishment. Meteors falling to earth were already a rare occurrence, yet unexpectedly, one had landed right here. For a moment, everyone felt a surge of worry.

At this moment, Tang Yu was about to be drowned, but suddenly, Tang Yu felt a sharp pain in his back as if something had burrowed into him, causing him to jolt!

The next moment, Tang Yu didn't know where he got the strength from. He waved his arms quickly, and he actually floated up!

Tang Yu gasped for the fresh air, his heart filled with joy. This truly was a testament to the saying "where there's a will, there's a way." At this crucial moment, he had tapped into his potential and learned how to swim.

Although it's even uglier than doggy paddling, it actually works!

"Hiss!"

Suddenly, Tang Yu's face froze. He saw a snake over a meter long biting his butt!

"Damn it, you bastard! You snake, where are you going to bite?!"

Seeing this, Tang Yu was so frightened that he hurriedly pulled the snake down and threw it far away. After all, the warning sign clearly stated that this snake was highly venomous. How could Tang Yu not panic?

But after waiting for a while, Tang Yu found that nothing happened to him. He wasn't poisoned in the first place!

Could this snake be harmless?

It's impossible, Tang Yu knows this snake; it's definitely venomous. If bitten, there's no hope of survival if help doesn't arrive within half an hour. But now he's unharmed, which puzzles Tang Yu greatly.

Could it be...?

Suddenly, Tang Yu thought of something important, and his whole person couldn't help but get excited.

That must be it, I was hit by a shooting star out of nowhere, and something golden went into me. Could it be that I'm really the protagonist in a novel, directly bestowed with special abilities after this impact? Even toxins can't harm me now?
