Chapter 1 System, Goldfinger
Rotting garbage, flies flying around in the air, all kinds of small bugs are camped here, leftover food, animal carcasses, feces.... All sorts of odors emanate from it.
This is a garbage dump outside an unknown town, and in the garbage heap there is a pair of translucent black eyes, he is staring at the few people in front of him who have come to take out the garbage, shrinking down and burying himself deeper.
It's been a week since he came to this garbage dump, and he knows these people, they are employees of the city tavern, and they come to take out the garbage at a fixed time every day, which also means that they have something to eat.
"Feder, hurry up and finish it, I'm about to die from the stench here."
Charlie, who first came to work at the tavern, hated the most was taking out the garbage, and the garbage dump was only cleaned once a month, and no one wanted to stay here anymore because of the stench.
"Bear with me, newcomers are going to start with these jobs, and that's how people in the tavern come, okay, let's go....."
Throwing the sealed garbage bag into the garbage heap, Feder patted Charlie on the shoulder, took out a cigarette and smoked it, he loved the job and could smoke a cigarette on the way back.
Charlie's face distorted as he looked at the stains on his shoulders, and Fayde's hands were stained with leftover soup, and this shot directly put his handprint on his clothes, which he had only worn for a few days, which made him a little unbearable for his always clean love.
"Feder, you stop for me....."
After the two men left, the garbage dump fell silent.
The eyes in the garbage heap were rolling, and he was watching to see if there was anyone around.
"Gollum ~~~~~~"
After ten minutes of waiting, his stomach began to grow, and a swarthy hand reached out from the garbage heap, brushing aside the half-eaten mouse carcass on his face and spitting out the small worm that had crawled into his mouth by mistake.
He stood up, shook off the garbage stuck to his body, he ran over and picked up the sealed garbage bag, and quickly fled from here, and in a few moments, the wild dogs in the vicinity would come over, and in his case, there was no trap to beat a wild dog.
His name is Caleb, his original name: Zhang Jiale, and his current name: Caleb Liccock, is a traverser.
Born in a small village, his father nearly killed him when he was born in a magical world similar to medieval Europe.
Because he was born with black hair and black eyes, and his parents were blonde, it made his father feel as if he had something on his head, a little green.
It was the mother who supported her weak body after giving birth and desperately tried to block the angry father, so that he would not die at birth.
In this way, the mother raised Caleb under pressure for a month, and it was time for the village to test his talent in the full moon, and at that time the village was scolding Caleb's mother for being an indecent woman and not qualified for the talent test, and the village chief, who didn't want to test Caleb's talent, was relieved by his mother's plea.
The result is even more unfortunate, Caleb's talent is extremely low, the affinity of magic power is 1, and the strength of his physique is 1, which can be said to be the most wasted talent, neither can he become a magician, nor can he be a warrior, he is a waste.
After that, there was even more gossip in the village, and the father drank heavily all day and beat and scolded the mother when he came home.
A few months later, his father fell into the river and drowned on his way home due to alcoholism, and his mother burst into tears when she heard the news of his death.
The next day, she left the village with Caleb, went into the woods, put him under a large tree, and hanged himself from the tree.
In his previous life, he was an orphan, and now he is also an orphan, and he has not eaten for a day, and he lies in the basket and cries.
The cry soon attracted an old mage, and Caleb was lucky enough to be picked up by the old mage and given a name, Caleb Licok, who was the name of the old mage.
Teaching words, teaching speaking, old Lecock himself is a person with very low talent, living to such an old age, his professional level is still a magic apprentice, usually can only pick some medicine in the woods and make some simple potions to live, so Caleb managed to live to 10 years old.
Then the old mage died, and Caleb became a complete orphan, and after digging a pit and burying the old mage, Caleb began to wander, and this wandering was 5 years.
Being a beggar and almost being stabbed to death by soldiers, turning over garbage, eating rotten animals, and almost being captured as a slave, Caleb has endured all the hardships he can endure in the past five years, but he has not given up living.
Right now.....
"Hahaha... The garbage this time is so heavy, there should be a lot of leftovers that have not been eaten..."
Caleb, who grew tenaciously, shook the garbage bag in his hand and smiled.
He went to his makeshift lodging, which he said was nothing more than rags in the woods outside the city, containing all his belongings, a tattered magic book, a kettle, a rusty knife, a backpack, and some sun-dried jerky.
He took off his clothes, ran to the river to take a bath, and put his garbage-stained clothes into the river for a while, he didn't dare to use force, he was afraid that if he used force, it would rot, and this was his only piece of clothing.
Squeezing out the water and hanging it aside to dry, he began to open the garbage bag and look for it.
"Wow! Good stuff... The steak that had only been bitten in one bite, half of the apple left, and a sip or two of wine. β
Picking up the bottle and looking at the wine inside, Caleb was very happy, this is a strong liquor, although he doesn't like to drink it, but it can be used as fuel, and drinking a little in winter can also play a role in heating, and took out a kettle from his backpack, which is all wine collected by Caleb.
Carefully pouring it in, Caleb patted the flask with delight.
Pick up the magic book and start eating while reading, this is what Caleb found from the woods the other day, it should be left by the adventurer, the whole book was bitten by the beast, only a few pages can be read, but he still reads it with relish.
"Thick and thick .. Magical contract... As long as the mental power is enough, you can use it, and the magic power consumption is very small, so I don't know if I can use it....."
These pages contain a spell, a common contract technique for mages, and is usually used to create magic.
Swallowing the apple in his hand, Caleb looked up to see if there was anything to try, and he saw small bugs crawling on the garbage bag, which is very common in garbage dumps and is a saprovorous insect.
The appearance is very similar to Tuyuan, the body is flat, brown-black, six-legged, and winged and can fly.
"I'll give you a try..."
Grab a bug, about 2 centimeters, and engrave your own spiritual imprint on the little bug according to the meaning of the book, and give it a little magic to make the bug familiar with itself.
"Uh-huh....."
As if constipated, Caleb twisted his face and squeezed the only trace of magic out of his barren body, after old Lecock's death, Caleb had not used magic for five years, and finally squeezed it out.
"Is that enough..."
Caleb was a little confused as he looked at the worm that had absorbed the magic and remained motionless, he scratched his hair and watched motionlessly.
Dingβββ
"Who!"
Caleb jumped up with a ding, and he looked around in a hurry, the sound sounded a bit like the sound of metal colliding, which meant that there was a metal artifact, possibly a knife or sword, and he clenched the knife in his hand nervously.
"Host ..... detected The system starts to boot ....."
"Detected that the host has a demon.,Start automatic update...."
"The system update was successful..... The host occupation is determined...."
"Properties module opens ....."
"Backpack Module Open ....."
"Mall module opens ....."
"Task module opens ....."
An emotionless mechanical voice came to mind in my head.
"System!"
Caleb's eyes widened, and the knife in his hand fell to the ground. The previous memories slowly emerged, this is the standard configuration of his traverser, and the system bully appeared!
"The system. Can you hear me..."
"Yes, host"
"Oh!"
Caleb couldn't help but exclaim, it was really not an illusion!
Dingββ
"Please open it silently in your mind and open the property module."
"On"
A transparent stat bar appeared in front of him.

Speechless......
Caleb is full of black lines, and his own values are too low, if this was left in the game, he would have deleted the number and repracticed.
"What the hell! Why are my attributes so bad, and my profession... Insect master, do you manipulate bugs... There's no way to manipulate bugs in this world."
Caleb looked at the worm crawling in his hand speechlessly, he knew that he would change the contract, and he would do what he did with the death contract of a worm.
"System bully, can you change your career?"
Caleb asked with a flattering face.
Dingββ
"Once the profession is determined to be unable to be changed, the host can open the system to send a starter package"
"Ahββββββh
Caleb covered his face and fell to the ground, if he could go back 5 minutes ago, he must tell the fool who took the bug contract: choose Li Bai......
"Forget it, there's nothing wrong with bugs, at least they can evolve, so they're not weak.... Think about the Zerg, think about the performance in the major movies and games, it's still very promising."
After lying down for a few minutes, Caleb stood up, the bugs are bugs, are you afraid that there is no way out if you have a system.
"Open the Starter Pack."

"Starter Pack Opened"
"+10 stat points"
"Skill Points +5"
"+10 Demon Stats"
"Enchant Skill Point +5"
"Skill: Forensics"
"Insect Master's Exclusive Skill: Bug Splitting"
"Healing Flask +5"
"The item is automatically placed in the backpack, please check it yourself"
"Oh roar... Earned..."
Caleb looked at the attribute points and skill points given by the gift pack in surprise, but he hadn't looked at the healing potions yet.
"Dot, dot, um.... What's the best thing to add?"
"Can you explain the system?"
Dingββ
"Insect master is a magical profession, it is recommended that the host is mainly magic and mental power, and the physique and strength can be appropriately added"
"Physique: represents the host's physical strength, physical defense; Increased physique can resist more serious injuries; The ratio of health to conversion is 1:10.
Spiritual: represents the host's spiritual strength, spiritual defense; Increasing the spirit can resist more negative emotions.
Mana: Represents the host's mana reserves, magic attack power.
Strength: Represents the host's physical strength, speed, and physical attack. β
"It is recommended to use 4 attributes to increase mana value, and use Zerg Evolution."
"Understood!"
Caleb's finger clicked 4 times on the plus sign of mana, and the mana became 5/5, and he could use the Zerg Mutation Technique.
As soon as the thought turned, the Zerg Mutation Technique was lit up, and three options appeared in front of him.
"Hard Armor: Adds 3 to Constitution to generate a harder carapace"
"Strong acid: the acid is mutated, more corrosive, and an acid sac is formed"
"Mana Transformation: Mana Mutation, Open Mana Gauge"
Caleb wanted all three options, but could only choose one.
"Hmm.... The first defense, but unfortunately this bug is too small, and it can't block any damage, so give up
The second attack, strong acid is still good, this can be considered
The third one looks a bit strong, but I don't know what the use of turning on the magic power will be, it's a bit hard to judge."
Caleb pondered for a long time, and finally took his attention, and he pointed a little.
"Fight a bicycle to become a motorcycle...."
Dingββ
"The selection of magic transformation is successful, and the mutation begins to ....."
The bug in his hand glows white, just like a Pokemon has evolved.
The white light dissipated, and a brownish-black bug with blue light streaks appeared in front of him.
Caleb takes a look at the bug's attributes.
There are only two changes, the mana becomes 1/1, and the acid lv1 becomes the mana strong acid lv1: a strong acid with additional mana, with high corrosion power, the power is affected by the mana attribute of the constitution, and the mana consumes 1 point, and the cooldown time is 5 seconds.
"Try it, let's give you a name first, it's good to call Xiao Hei, it's simple... Use mana strong acid. β
Caleb pointed to a tree and commanded Black.
Little Black shook his wings under the carapace, flew up, and bit on the tree that Caleb was pointing to.
As Blackie poured strong acid into the trunk, the blue streaks of light on its body dimmed.
Thorn -
Smoke rose from the trunk and corroded into a small black hole of 5 centimeters.
"! Is it so awesome! β
It's no joke if this little hole appears in the human body, not to mention that it's a growing skill.
"Strong, too strong, this is the skill of lv1... Hehehe"
Caleb laughed so hard that snot bubbles were bursting from his nose.
"Look at the skill again, "Bug Splitting Technique": You can use magic to split the bug, according to different individuals, the magic power consumption is different, the split descendant does not occupy the contract slot, it can be controlled, it cannot be resurrected, cooldown: none; "Identification": It can identify the attributes of items or creatures, consume 1 mana, and have a cooldown of 30 seconds. β
With a clapping of both hands, the two skills learned their hands, and looked at the magic value of the attribute table, and after a few minutes of natural recovery, it was already full, and the recovery speed looked like it should be 1 point per minute.
"Try it.... Bug splitting, a little magic"
Xiao Hei quickly split into 10 bugs that were exactly the same as Xiao Hei.
"Sure enough, it's magic black technology, and Darwin has to shout a good guy when he sees it."
The attributes of the child are the same as Xiao Hei's, but there is a resurrection skill missing, and the manipulation is also very smooth, such as arm command.
"Xiao Hei has 10 magic powers, and I don't know if the level will increase."
Add 5 points of skill to mana breeding, mana breeding: worm lv6, Xiao Hei becomes 60, 1 mana 60.
"Strong!! It's too strong!! In just ten minutes, I am more than ten times stronger!! β
Surrounded by 61 little blacks, Caleb felt a sense of security that he had never felt before, and he laughed happily.
Then assign attribute points, and after a period of exploration, the attribute assignments are as follows:
Personal attribute points point to 10 mana, and the rest is a little bit on constitution.
Make the magic attribute tap 5 mana, 5 points of constitution plus, mana strong acid +5....
