Chapter 1 - Chapter 1: The Golden Finger Finally Comes Online

"Did I transmigrate again?" Liu Ming was truly bewildered.

He was a transmigrator, his soul having transmigrated into a baby.

He had lived in this world for over twenty years, without a Golden Finger, leading an ordinary life.

After realizing he had no particular talent, he relied on his memories from his previous life to recreate some novels, earning a bit of pocket money.

Unconsciously, he had been writing for seven or eight years, achieving a small degree of success.

Coupled with the assets left by his parents, his life was quite comfortable.

Originally, he thought he would continue living such a laid-back life.

Who would have thought that an accident would happen today?

He couldn't help but pinch his thigh. "Hiss, that really hurts!" Liu Ming grimaced in pain; it was real.

"Human, are you ignoring my existence? You are merely an ant; I should just swallow you whole.

I can't believe that as I'm about to die, the last thing I see is a human. How pathetic."

A terrifying voice came from behind him.

Liu Ming's body trembled, and he slowly turned around.

It was a gigantic figure, shrouded in darkness; if he hadn't focused, he wouldn't have noticed it.

Looking at the colossal creature several meters tall, Liu Ming couldn't help but swallow. Wasn't this just a slice-of-life world? He had lived here for twenty years. Why was a dragon suddenly appearing now?

Where's my Golden Finger? My Golden Finger, where are you? After all this time, you should appear by now. If you don't come out soon, your host will really die.

But still, there was no response.

"Human, the existence of an ant should not exist in this world."

As the moonlight shone down, the figure shrouded in darkness gradually revealed itself to be a giant green dragon.

Liu Ming's body involuntarily retreated several steps. What kind of bizarre world was this?

There was Totsuki Academy,

Wasn't it a slice-of-life anime like Food Wars?

Now, how could a dragon appear?

Although it was just a Western dragon, anything associated with dragons couldn't possibly be just for show.

My Golden Finger, where are you? If you don't come out soon, I'm really going to kick the bucket.

The green dragon's head slowly lifted, its cold eyes fixed on Liu Ming.

It seemed ready to attack if there was any disagreement.

Liu Ming swallowed again. He really wanted to turn and run, but his legs wouldn't obey, trembling uncontrollably.

Suddenly, Liu Ming realized he had seen this green dragon somewhere before.

He quickly forced himself to concentrate and carefully examined it. Although it was a Western dragon, it wasn't as ferocious and terrifying as others described; instead, it gave him the illusion of being overweight. Also, a huge sword was impaled in its body.

"Wait, this scene is really familiar."

As a pseudo-otaku, Liu Ming had seen quite a few anime.

Although over twenty years had passed and his memory was a bit hazy, forgetting didn't mean disappearing. When similar situations arose, it was still possible to stimulate deeper memories in his mind.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Wasn't this the dragon maid from Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid?

What was her name again? Oh, right, Tohru.

The same name as Thor from Marvel.

Could this be Miss Kobayashi's world?

No, that's not right. There's clearly Totsuki Academy, a culinary school, and he even saw news of Nakiri Erina, the God Tongue, online. Could it be a mix of multiple worlds?

No way. I've been a slacker for over twenty years, and now you're suddenly telling me this is an action anime?

But Miss Kobayashi's world doesn't seem to be an action anime either. Although there are dragons in that world, it's still a slice-of-life anime.

Wait, why does it have the sword of god on its body?

Could it be that the plot hasn't started yet?

Then do I have a chance?

This is a dragon maid!

Once she acknowledges a master, she's instantly maxed out.

Definitely a Golden Finger!"

But when he met the green dragon's cold eyes, he felt a little scared again.

When Tohru met Miss Kobayashi,

Humans didn't seem to leave a good impression on her.

Food, ants, scum...

Let me think, how did Miss Kobayashi gain her approval back then?

Liu Ming struggled to recall the plot.

However, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't remember it completely.

He was just a pseudo-otaku; although he had watched many anime,

He couldn't possibly remember every plot detail.

He could only vaguely recall that Miss Kobayashi achieved this feat while drunk.

"You are a dragon." Liu Ming decided to follow his heart.

It was better to be sincere with a creature like a giant dragon.

As for whether the other party would be hostile towards him,

Even if they were, could he escape?

"Hmph hmph." Tohru proudly raised her head.

"Why are you here? This should be the human world, shouldn't it?"

"It's all thanks to you humans! One day, I will return for revenge!"

Just like that, the two chatted back and forth.

As they talked, Liu Ming couldn't help but shift his gaze to the sword on the dragon's body.

"Are you in pain? Do you want me to pull it out for you?"

"Can you? Are you really willing to help me?"

"Why not? Aren't we friends?"

"Friends?" Tohru's eyes held a complex look.

"Yes, friends. When a friend is in trouble,

How could I just stand by and watch?

I'll pull it out right now."

Liu Ming nervously approached Tohru.

Seeing that she had no other reaction, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The dragon's body was several meters tall, and Liu Ming was just an ordinary person.

It took him quite some time just to climb up.

When his hands grasped the sword of god, a prompt suddenly appeared in his mind.

"A sword of god has been found. Equip it to a character, or store it in your backpack?"

Is this the Golden Finger? So I do have a Golden Finger after all.

But now was clearly not the time to think about such things.

He exerted more and more force with his hands, gritting his teeth.

The sword of god was slowly pulled out.

After he chose to store it in his backpack, the sword of god transformed into specks of starlight and disappeared.

"Huh? Where did that sword go? Was it taken back?

Damn it, I wanted to destroy it to vent my anger!"

Tohru said resentfully.

"I don't know either.

It disappeared right after I pulled it out."

Liu Ming secretly thought, "That was close."

Luckily, he reacted quickly enough to put the sword of god away.

Otherwise, it would have been wasted.

"Alright, it's getting very late. I need to go home now.

If you have nowhere to go, you can come to my house."

Liu Ming left a sentence and hurried away.

He completely failed to notice the gradual brightening in Tohru's eyes behind him.

With his Golden Finger, he no longer needed Thor as much.

Now he just wanted to study his Golden Finger to see what it did.

It had taken so long to appear, making him feel like he was an embarrassment to all transmigrators.
