Chapter 1: A Life of Setting
My name is Yang Ming, an ordinary "screw" struggling at the bottom of the society, like most of the poor children who are difficult to get ahead, I missed the opportunity step by step in my life, stumbling all the way to the 23-year-old today, and finally followed in the footsteps of my parents' predecessors, hard work!
Sometimes I think that the world is a big garden, those who are born with precious species, rare plants, flowers and green leaves, they enjoy the sun and rain to the fullest, and I and the other workers in our factory and other manual workers around the world are the dust that they firmly trample under their feet to absorb nutrients.
I have read some books, and I understand that class is inevitable, and I also know that as long as I work hard, I can succeed, but only when I hit a wall and the blood does not stop, and I am tired from working until my body is numb, I will break down, I will cry bitterly, and I will cry in my heart Why is it so difficult! I am also born as a human being, why does fate treat me so unfairly!
However, I am not the protagonist of one of the very few inspirational stories that not only did I not survive, but I almost became an unlucky person who died young!
On December 5, 2029, at three o'clock in the morning, on the overnight shift, I was working on the assembly line, my mind was in a trance, the explosion happened very suddenly, only for a moment, the fire was full of eyes, the sound was deafening, and my consciousness disappeared.
When I woke up again, it was a basin of cold water, and when I opened my eyes, the sky was spinning for a while, like the stamina of general anesthesia.
"Where is this?!" Before I could figure out the situation, a burly man with scars at the corners of his eyes lifted me up in the air, and came up with two big-eared scrapers, "Little cub! Do you think you can escape today's hunt by pretending to be confused! Stand up for me honestly!"
I was dragged into a crowd, and when I was about to fall to the ground, someone helped me in time, "Pot lid, okay?" I looked at him fixedly, it was an uncle, unkempt, dressed in tatters like a rag wrapped around his body, but his eyes were extraordinarily bright, and there seemed to be a unique momentum brewing between his thick eyebrows.
As soon as this person entered his eyes, the chaotic memories in his mind swarmed out, there is Yuecun, Uncle Mu Bai, the captain of the hunting team, and the coup d'état failed to seize power!
My father died in that battle, and I was condemned as a slave, and every once in a while I had to be dragged by the village hunting party as bait, struggling between the bloody maws of all kinds of ferocious beasts, and was tortured, and finally died suddenly last night!
Such a typical soul through the drama, I am scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, I really didn't expect an explosion to start my life again, and with the same name and surname, but it seems to be more difficult than the previous life, not only does there not have a little time for peaceful development, and even a careless soul will return to the netherworld again.
I didn't know what to say for a moment, and I didn't respond to Mu Bai, who was also the initiator of "my" miserable life, who was staring at me with concern, and just wiped the water stains on my face blankly.
Mu Bai did not doubt him, his resolute face was a little ashamed, after all, "my" father died for him, and the grief-stricken grandmother could not stand the rude treatment of the villagers and died violently soon, leaving only me, a thirteen-year-old hairy boy, who was lonely and miserable, hungry and cold every day, and had to die as a bait from time to time, how could he give him a good face.
"You rebels listen to me, today we have a special mission to complete the God-given mission for the son of Hu Yaoshi, the matter is done, one person will eat a piece of meat at night, if it is because of someone's mistake and mess up, hum, my Hu Jiu will definitely make him regret being born in this world!"
At this time, it was the man who beat me in the hot and painful face, Hu Jiu, the head of the guard of the village chief of Lifeng, who took over as the captain of the hunting team after Mu Bai.
As for the heaven-sent mission in the mouth of Hu Jiu, it is not small, it comes from a kind of high-ranking heaven-sent people, they are scarce in number, born extraordinary, and are endowed with exclusive professions by God, such as pharmacists, warriors, rune masters, yin-yang warlocks, teachers, etc., in the classic records, it can be said that there are all kinds of things.
Those who are sent by heaven can be appointed by heaven to perform their duties and guard all directions in the world!
They are also ranked, and the only way to rise to the rank is to fulfill the commands issued by the mysterious voice of their hearts whose origin cannot be guessed, which they call a God-given mission in awe!
This kind of setting is extremely incredible for me as a modern person, if there is an invisible hand in the world I lived in in my previous life that manipulates the nature of life and death, then this other world is a visible devil's claw at the mercy of the world! All God-given people live in the guidance of a voice, in order to obtain greater power and blindly obey, so is it not to some extent inferior to those ordinary people, if you think so, you are very wrong!
This fucking world not only has a group of special people who hold great power, but also has a heavenly barrier that binds people's footsteps! At the edge of every map there is an enchantment barrier that no living creature can shake, so under this sky, it is impossible for ordinary people to travel far away, and their lives will be trapped in a corner of the land, birth, old age, sickness and death, without exception!
And the God-given people who are more like God's puppets still retain a glimmer of freedom, as long as they reach the corresponding level, they can break through the heavenly barrier of Yuyue Village and see what the outside world is like?
After receiving such a memory message, I almost wanted to scold my mother, and I was going to find a chance to escape to another place to change my face and become a new person, but this thought was broken, and as an ordinary person, I couldn't pass through the barrier at all!
Because once I lose the shelter of the village, the beasts that are rampant in the wilderness will smell my breath sooner or later, you must know that this is not the earth, and some of the alien beasts with a level are not worse than the heaven-sent people with explosive force value, and even more suppression under the same level.
For the sake of today, I can only be cautious for the time being, endure humiliation, and wait for things to turn around with my modern wisdom and insight.
However, I can't help but feel a little disheartened when I think that I am just an ordinary person set by God in such a fantasy world, the class inequality here is even more naked than on the earth, and the injustice of mortals is enough to complain, and my future is simply bleak!
But not long after this thought was born, when Hu Jiu led a group of strong hunting team members to force our group of slaves out of the village and into the unpredictable wilderness like cattle, a voice suddenly sounded in my heart, as if it came from above the clouds, and seemed to spread under the nine shadows:
"I give you the end of the ghost road, you, dare to respond!"
