Chapter 3: The Lucky One of Yan and Huang Turns Out to Be the Brat

But just as the people of Yanhuang rejoiced at having a female soldier, some viewers turned their attention to Qin Chuan.

When they saw his figure, everyone was stunned. Rubbing their eyes, they thought they must have made a mistake. But once they confirmed that this was indeed the National Destiny live broadcast, everyone erupted in chaos!

“Th-this, this can’t be real, can it?”

“No way, one of our country’s two lucky chosen is... he’s just a child!”

“I seriously doubt he’s even weaned.”

“Heaven is surely punishing Yanhuang!”

“We’re doomed, our nation is doomed. This is the live broadcast carrying the fate of two billion people, and it’s down to a woman and a child? How can we watch this?”

“Whoever chose this, picking a child is just too much!”

“Exactly. What can a three-year-old possibly do?”

“This is just sending him to his death—it’s cruel!”

“I can’t even bear to watch the rest of the broadcast.”

If it weren’t for the female soldier from Yanhuang, the entire nation might have gone mad.

This National Destiny battle was far too important; it truly concerned the fate of a country.

This was a fight in a forbidden land that could not be lost.

As the saying goes, without comparison, there is no pain. When the audience switched to viewing the representatives of other nations, the contrast was disheartening.

“This is the champion boxer from the Beautiful Country, crowned at only thirty years old. Damn, that’s incredible luck.”

“That’s nothing. You haven’t seen the other lucky soldier from the Beautiful Country.”

“Who?”

“The captain of the Demon Special Forces from the Beautiful Country. He’s fought in hundreds of battles and earned at least a hundred medals. He’s a legend who walks the line between life and death. I heard he just recently participated in a battle against another nation and successfully destroyed their presidential palace.”

“Also, you should check out the lucky ones from the Eastern Isles. One is a three-time Olympic wrestling champion, and the other is a famed master of swordsmanship reputed to know ninjutsu.”

“And there’s also the ones from the British Isles...”

Comparing these foreign champions to Yanhuang’s representatives, the difference was glaring.

Though Yanhuang had a fortunate female soldier, compared to the battle-hardened warriors, boxing champions, and sword masters of other countries, the gap was significant.

When the foreigners heard about Yanhuang’s luckless picks—a female soldier and a mere three-year-old toddler—they burst out laughing.

They bombarded the chat, declaring Yanhuang doomed.

The people of Yanhuang would not stand for such insults and launched a fierce keyboard battle, igniting a war of words in the live chat.

Meanwhile, four-year-old Qin Chuan was oblivious to all this. Even if he knew, he wouldn’t have cared in the slightest.

---

Director Yang Zhengyi of the Yanhuang National Security Bureau asked, “What did the investigation find?”

“It’s confirmed. Qin Chuan grew up in the Beihai orphanage. His current age... four years old,” a staff member replied, sounding hopeless.

Four years old.

A heavy silence fell.

Could they really rely on a four-year-old child?

Obviously not.

“Fortunately, there’s still Shangguan Ruoyun,” Yang Zhengyi relaxed his brow but said firmly, “We must prepare for the worst.”

“Yes, sir.”

---

After hearing the mysterious voice declare his selection, Qin Chuan thought to himself, “I knew it.”

Then his eyes brightened. When he came to his senses, he found himself in a forest of towering ancient trees.

Upon arriving in this world, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

“Hahaha!!”

“Finally, I can fly freely!”

At the orphanage, although he tried to imitate Nezha, he held back. After all, Nezha’s destructive power was immense.

The orphanage was his home, and the old director treated him well. So while he often caused trouble playing Nezha, he was careful not to cause serious harm.

But now, having arrived in this world, he no longer needed to restrain himself.

Qin Chuan began to unleash himself, wandering freely through the forest, even singing “Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star” as he went.

“Twinkle, twinkle, little star, how I wonder what you are...”

The viewers in the live chat were baffled. This was a forest! Was it really wise to shout so loudly like that?

---

“God’s little star.”

“Please, stop singing. That place is dangerous.”

“Little one, come back. I’ll go into the forbidden land in your place. It’s too dangerous for you.”

“He’s just a child! Damn you gods, how can you be so cruel to let a three or four-year-old participate in such a brutal forbidden land game?”

“He probably doesn’t even know where that is.”

“I bet he doesn’t even know what fear means.”

“I can’t bear to watch anymore. Sorry, I’m logging off.”

Qin Chuan’s innocent and carefree demeanor stirred pity in many hearts.

Within the perilous forbidden land, dangers lurked everywhere. Others barely dared make a sound, but Qin Chuan hummed happily, indifferent to danger.

Perhaps he didn’t even know what danger was.

Everyone pinned their hopes on Shangguan Ruoyun. As for Qin Chuan, they only wished he could survive as long as possible.

“He has nothing—not even basic food or water. I truly don’t know how he’ll manage.”

“That’s secondary. The forest is dangerous enough, especially such a primeval one crawling with venomous snakes and insects. Even special forces would be on edge.”

It was natural that Qin Chuan carried nothing. Could anyone really expect a four-year-old to survive alone in a forest?

Ridiculous.

“Ah, a tree.”

Qin Chuan spotted a tree in the distance, its branches heavy with bright red fruit. A smile spread across his face.

“Looks tasty.”

The people in the live chat gasped, warning him not to eat anything wild in the forest.

Then they noticed a poisonous snake hidden on one side of the tree.

“Watch out! There’s a snake on the tree!”

“The snake’s camouflage is incredible—I almost missed it. Oh no, the little guy is heading toward the tree.”

“Don’t tell me he’s going to pick the fruit! That snake is definitely venomous.”

“Don’t worry, he can’t climb up there. He’s just a kid... Wait, what? Qin Chuan—he’s actually climbing up!”

The viewers were dumbfounded.

They had assumed such a small child couldn’t climb trees, but the scene before their eyes left them stunned. Qin Chuan was scaling the tree at an incredible speed, right under their watchful gaze.
