Chapter 1 Grow a child
"Ahem, dear children, you are all the flowers of the empire, the future of the Divine Tree, today is your adult day, here the old village chief I wish you all...... "......He is nearly eighty years old, and the old village chief who is about to enter the Pure Land of Shenmu by the grace of the great god of Shenmu is fulfilling his duty as the village head, which is to hold a maturity ceremony for the new generation of adult children in the village.
Although the old village chief had a lot to say, the children in front of the old village chief did not pay attention to the old village chief at all, but all raised their heads, and watched the towering tree behind the village chief full of fruits of various colors, constantly drooling, and their eyes were about to burst into flames.
"Does this maturation ritual really work for me?" Looking at the fruits on the tree, among these children, one of the thinnest, emaciated to the point of being a little sickly thought to himself, and this teenager's name was Mu Tian.
Mu Tian is not a human being in this world, he is a deep house from the earth, although he has no money at home, and he himself only relies on writing novels on the website, relying on one or two thousand attendance awards every month to live, but he loves to play games, in addition to code words every day, he is playing games, immersed in the two-dimensional world and unable to extricate himself.
Until one day, when Mu Tian had to go out to mail and sign a new book contract, because he hadn't seen the sun for half a year, Mu Tian actually fell into a coma under the sunlight, and when he woke up again, he had already appeared in this other world.
At this time, Mu Tian was in a medium-sized village with a population of about 600, and for Mu Tian, a stranger who suddenly appeared, the villagers of the village actually accepted it very naturally, and even gave Mu Tian a wooden house, especially when they learned that Mu Tian had just turned 18 years old, they directly pulled Mu Tian to the center of the village under the sacred tree, and performed a maturation ceremony with the adult children in the village this year.
As for why this ritual is called a maturity ceremony and not a coming-of-age ceremony, Mu Tian is not very clear, but through the past two days of getting along, Mu Tian learned a terrible fact from the mouths of the villagers, that is, the human beings in this world are not born and raised by their parents, but mature and fall from the top of the sacred trees like fruits.
To be honest, Mu Tian didn't believe it at first, but under this sacred tree, when he saw some faint babies hanging on the branches of the divine tree that had not yet fully grown and matured, curled up like broad beans, Mu Tian began to believe that the human daring of this world really grew from the tree.
However, this baby has nothing to do with Mu Tian's upcoming maturation ceremony, what really has to do with Mu Tian is the colorful round fruits on the branches.
From the village chief's upside-down words, it can be known that Shenmu is the doppelganger of the great Shenmu God in the present world, and in addition to the life fruits that can give birth to babies, there are also all kinds of strange and different magical fruits with different functions.
One of the most important fruits is called the system fruit, and it is said that as long as you eat this fruit, you can make a human body have an extra thing called the system, and after having the system, human beings can break through the limitations of the physical body, have all kinds of incredible powers, and become a great powerhouse in this world.
"Hey, Grandpa the Village Chief, I used to be a powerful heavy shield guard, until I was hit by an arrow in the knee, I had to go back to the village to educate you melon children!" The village chief finally sighed.
"System...... Isn't this the exclusive golden finger of the traverser...... How did you get to this world and have a copy for everyone? Hearing the village chief say this, Mu Tian couldn't help but complain in his heart, and at this time, the village chief's nonsense finally ended, and he began to greet the real maturation ceremony.
"The fat boy of the Wang family, you give me to kneel obediently under the Divine Tree, and touch the trunk of the Divine Tree with both hands reverently, and the Divine Tree will give you the fruit of your system!" The village chief said to one of the fattest boys.
"Hooray! I'm the first! I'm the first! The little fat man immediately screamed triumphantly, and then glanced at Mu Tian very provocatively, and then obediently knelt down under the sacred tree, and according to the instructions of the village chief, he pressed his hands on the trunk of the sacred tree, and after a while, a blue fruit fell down on the sacred tree.
"Well, yes, the blue system fruit, the little fat man of the Wang family, it seems that you have a good future in the future! But it's still worse than the purple fruit of the village chief. Seeing that it was a blue fruit that had fallen, the village chief's eyes lit up, and he touched his beard and praised.
"Village Chief, what's the point about the color of this fruit?" Hearing the praise of the village chief, Mu Tian on the side asked curiously.
"You're a little guy who just joined our village yesterday! Well, the village chief will give you a good explanation, the difference is huge! The village chief touched his beard and said, "The fruit of the system is a treasure given to me by the Great God of Shenmu, which can allow humans to break through the limitations of the physical body and have great power. According to the color, it is divided into seven different colors: white, green, blue, purple, orange, gold, and red, and rises from white to red. White is the most common, red is the rarest, and each color of fruit contains the same system, but it gives you different starting attributes. ”
"Don't underestimate this initial attribute, the initial attribute determines the growth value of each attribute after you get the system, if the initial attribute is much worse, the growth attribute points obtained will be much worse, and after a hundred levels, it is a gap of hundreds or even thousands of points, then he will not be able to become a real master in his life, let alone become famous, become a hero in this world, and be on the list of heaven and earth, do you understand?"
"So this system fruit is the most important fruit in your life, child, you listen to my advice, if you can't get the blue or above fruit later, then don't want to be a player, honestly follow the village chief grandfather to farm and raise fish in the village, and then find a wife, plant a child, and live a life in peace, understand!" The village elder was still chattering behind him, but Mu Tian was completely confused.
What initial attributes, what heaven and earth rankings, what player upgrades, this doesn't sound like a real world, why does this sound so like a game world? At this time, the children waiting for the maturation ceremony are like players who are ready to build an account...... This is really hell off.

"Oh my God, it's golden, it's golden!" Suddenly, all the onlookers erupted into a shout that was shocked to the point of explosion, and even the village elder and Mu Tian were attracted to it, and when they turned their heads, they saw an S-shaped figure like a devil, convex and backward, with big buttocks and fat buttocks. But her face is unusually cold, she can be called a peerless beautiful girl who has captivated the country and the city, and she is holding a golden fruit in her hand at this time.
"It's a golden fruit! It was really a golden fruit, and I knew that a child with extraordinary talents like the queen would definitely be able to get a purple fruit...... But she actually got the golden fruit...... It's actually golden...... God, the day when our Gujia Village will come out is coming, and our Gujia Village will definitely become the entire Pingyang County...... No, the most famous village in the whole of Leiyang County!! Seeing the golden fruit in the girl's hand, the village chief completely lost his original reserve, and actually cried and made trouble like a child.
"The Old Queen's !!" Mu Tian secretly looked at this ancient queen who was obviously holding an extremely precious golden fruit, but her face was still calm, as if this golden fruit was not a precious thing.
The ancient queen silently picked up her fruit and walked back to the waiting queue, standing next to Mu Tian.
"Congratulations!" Seeing that the queen was actually standing by his side, Mu Tian immediately went up to congratulate him.
"......" It's a pity that Mu Tian's overtures are destined to be in vain, and the ancient queen didn't even pay attention to Mu Tian's interest, her eyes looked ahead without squinting, obviously not taking Mu Tian in her eyes.
"Hehe......" Mu Tian, who had a hot face and a cold buttocks, could only smile awkwardly, and then continued to watch the other people's ripening rituals, but people like the ancient queen who could possess golden system fruits never appeared again, not even orange fruits, and the next best thing was just a purple fruit, in addition to five blue fruits, and the rest were all white and green fruits.
Those who got the blue fruit and the purple fruit all had smiling expressions on their faces, as if they had achieved fame, and those who got the white fruit were like mourning and their faces were like ashes, and some of them just turned their heads and left, never to stay here again.
"Mu Tian, it's your turn, you can also sense a fruit of your own!" As an outsider, Mu Tian was ranked last, and under the personal care of the village chief, he walked under the Shenmu, and prayed obediently like everyone else, "The great god of Shenmu is above, please bless below", and then pressed his hands on the trunk of the Shenmu.
Mu Tian is still very curious about whether he can get a system fruit, after all, Mu Tian is not a native of this world, but an alien traverser, and the human beings in this world are fundamentally different, for example, Mu Tian was born from his mother's womb, not from what divine tree, so whether he can get the approval of this divine tree and summon what system fruit, Mu Tian himself is still extremely curious.
"Probably can't be summoned!" Mu Tian muttered in his heart, and then he heard a pop, and a white fruit fell from the tree and smashed on Mu Tian's head.
