Chapter 1 Activating the System
Faerie Continent, Southern Regions!
Qingzhou, quarry.
"Little bastard, if you have the ability, you can get up and run again?"
"Foreman Sun, Wu Di is still young, please raise your noble hand! I kowtow to you. ”
In the north of the quarry, there is a row of simple thatched houses, surrounded by more than 100 people in front of the house, who are holding steamed buns in one hand and water bowls in the other, and look at the three people in the middle while eating.
Among the three, a middle-aged man as strong as an ox brandished a leather whip and beat a teenager mercilessly and cruelly.
The young man is not very old, about fifteen years old, his clothes are ragged and torn, maybe it is a long-term malnourished relationship, the little face is pale without the slightest blood, but the eyes are very bright, even if he was beaten by Foreman Sun, the young man did not say a word, and his eyes still showed a touch of firmness.
Looking at the young man's side again, there was an old man kneeling on the ground, probably because he had been working in the sun all year round, his skin was tanned, and he kept kowtowing to Sun Gongtou at the moment.
"Damn!" Foreman Sun raised his foot and kicked the old man, gritting his teeth angrily: "Li Laoshi, I know that your dead grandson is the same age as Wu Di." But every time Wu Di escapes and is caught, you kneel on the ground like a dog and kowtow and plead, do you really regard Wu Di as your Li family's seed? Don't forget, Wu Di was bought back by Lao Tzu five years ago for thirty copper plates. ”
"Foreman, you have a lot of adults, give Wu Di another chance, the child is young and ignorant, I promise that he will never dare to run away in the future." If you hit again, the child will die. ”
"Don't fight? Foreman Sun waved his leather whip again, and then slammed Wu Di who fell to the ground.
"Work...... Foreman: Be merciful, be merciful. I promise that Wu Di will never run away again. Li Laoshi hurriedly got up to protect Wu Di, even though his back was whipped twice by the leather whip, he still didn't dodge.
"Damn! It's really infuriating, reward you with two whips today, and next time Lao Tzu will kill you." ”
Foreman Sun put away the leather whip, and when he saw that more than 100 people were still around, he immediately raised the leather whip again.
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and give it to Lao Tzu to eat, and continue to pick stones after eating. Let me tell you, Li Yuanwai in Qingyun City is in a hurry to pave the yard with stones. If the delivery is delayed, Lao Tzu will reward each of you with a whip. ”
With an angry shout, hundreds of people fled in a hurry, and only Li Laoshi picked up Wu Di, who was covered in bruises, and walked into the thatched house with great difficulty.
"Grandpa!"
The voice was faint and weak.
The boy was beaten to the point that his skin was torn apart, but he remained silent from beginning to end. But at this moment, seeing the blood marks on Li Laoshi's back, Wu Di's eyes moistened.
"Grandpa, I'm sorry for you. ”
The voice was choked and crying.
It's hard to imagine how guilty this child is.
"Silly boy, what nonsense are you talking to grandpa? As long as you survive, what are the two whips? Don't move obediently, this is the Lingyuan grass that grandpa dug up in the crack of the stone two days ago, it has spiritual power, apply it to the wound and stop the bleeding immediately, and the wound can heal after three days. ”
"Grandpa, I don't smear, it's hard to come across herbs in the quarry, you hurry up and put them away, and keep them for yourself later." I'm fine, it doesn't hurt when I get some sleep. Wu Di, who was lying on the straw, hid back, and the straw under this movement scratched the wound, and the heat was even more painful.
"Don't move!"
Li Laoshi held down Wu Di's body, chewed the Yuanling grass with his mouth, and then spit out and gently rubbed Wu Di's injury.
"Bear with it, and the bleeding will stop after a while. ”
"Grandpa......!"
Looking at the white-haired Li Laoshi in front of him, Wu Di couldn't stop the tears anymore and flowed down the corners of his eyes.
"You little fellow, you were sold to the quarry at the age of ten, and five years have passed, and you are stronger than children of the same age, but you are becoming more and more disobedient. ”
"Grandpa, it's very clear on the deed of sale, I have been working in the quarry for three years, and the term has expired. But Foreman Sun wouldn't let me go, and detained me for another two years, and I just wanted to go out to see my father. ”
"Well, what are you doing with him?"
"I want to escape, ask him to kill my mother seven years ago, and sell me to Foreman Sun for thirty copper plates five years ago, is it so important to gamble?"
Alas!
A sigh came out of Li Laoshi's mouth.
"Little baby, grandpa is not against you running away, but you are too young now. In a few years, when you grow up and have the strength to become an adult, you won't starve to death after escaping. ”
"Grandpa......!"
"I want you to get out too. Some time ago, I went with Foreman Sun to deliver stones, and I met a strange man in the city. The man threw his sword and stepped into the sky in front of thousands of people on the street. Afterwards, I heard that it was an immortal who could live forever, and his ability was great. If you want to be an immortal in the future, it will be amazing. ”
"Immortal ....... ”
Wu Di smiled bitterly and shook his head.
"Take care of your wounds! Eat the steamed buns for a while, so that you can have strength, and the injuries will heal faster." ”
Li Laoshi took out a steamed bun from his arms, to be precise, it was no longer a steamed bun, but was pressed into a cake.
"Oh yes! When Grandpa picked Lingyuan grass that day, there was a very beautiful colorful stone on the side. This stone is given to you, and when you are irritable, you can play with it in your hand, and it is cold and has a calming effect. ”
Li Laoshi took out a stone from his pocket, the stone could be the size of a fist, the surface was as smooth as jade, and gently placed it beside Wu Di.
"Hurry up and eat the steamed buns, grandpa is going to work, otherwise Foreman Sun will beat people again." As he spoke, Li Laoshi got up and looked at Wu Di and sighed, turned around and walked out of the thatched house.
Wu Di didn't go to eat the steamed bread, gritted his teeth and endured the pain and carefully put it into his arms, this is grandpa's lunch, and he will return it at night no matter what.
As for the colorful stone, it was as smooth and cold as jade, and Wu Di liked it very much when he grabbed it in his hand.
But when he wiped the dust on it with his clothes, which happened to be stained with the blood stains on the coarse cloth clothes, the stone suddenly released seven brilliant rays of light, shooting into Wu Di's body At the same time, Wu Di's body trembled slightly, and his soul entered a strange world.
"This ...... What kind of place is this?"
The sky is full of strange-shaped stones, monochrome, bicolor, tricolor, etc., the more colors there are, the larger the size, and the brilliant and dazzling light is extremely strange.
"Ding! The casual system is being turned on...... ”
"Ding! The casualness system is ...... in the process of recognizing the Lord. ”
The old man's words came one after another, and just when Wu Di was stunned, an illusory picture suddenly flashed in front of him.
Host: Wu Di
Shouyuan: 1 day
Cultivation: Mortal
Exercises: None
Weapons: None
Pet: None
"What is this?"
Wu Di muttered in a daze, and suddenly the illusory character attribute interface in front of him dissipated out of thin air, and an old prompt sound sounded in his ears again.
"Ding! The Dependent System has been activated, and the host successfully completes the Dependent System task, and the Dependent will be rewarded with a Body Sculpting Pill. ”
Before the old man's prompt sound dissipated, a seven-colored pill suddenly flashed in front of Wu Di's eyes.
The pill seemed to have spirituality, and it instantly shot into Wu Di's mouth, and before he could react, it slid down his throat and into his body.
Looking at Wu Di again, he seemed to be suffering from severe pain like a knife, covering his abdomen and rolling on the ground in pain.
What's even more peculiar is that as Wu Di continues to roll, his originally thin body is obviously much stronger, and black foul-smelling liquid continues to flow out of his skin, smelling evil in his nasal cavity.
This process lasted for half an hour.
When Wu Di stood up again, he was stunned.
"What happened just now? How do you feel that your body is so much lighter? It seems that there is a strange qi in your body, which makes this body full of strength. ”
"Ding! The host has successfully reshaped his physical body, and his cultivation has been promoted to one star of immortals, and his longevity has increased by thirty days. ”
"Ding! In the enchantment of the Fate System, each colored stone represents a new system. The host has to crush a colored stone every day to receive the task released by the new system. ”
If the host successfully completes the task of the new system, it will gain the abilities of the new system and increase the host's lifespan by 30 days. ”
If the host fails to crush the colored stones on time to receive the new system, and fails to complete the system task within twelve hours, the host will be punished by the system, and the longevity value will be doubled according to the number of times. When the longevity value reaches zero, the host will collapse the physical body, and the three souls and seven spirits will not enter the reincarnation. ”
"Ding! Ask the host to crush a colored stone to claim the new system and complete the quest. ”
......
"System?"
These two words are very unfamiliar to Wu Di.
"Ding! Ask the host to crush a colored stone to claim the new system and complete the quest. ”
"Wait, I'...... I don't quite understand it yet. ”
"Ding! Ask the host to crush a colored stone to claim the new system and complete the quest. ”
......
The old man's prompt sound sounded one after another, making Wu Di's head a little big, and it seemed that if he didn't crush a colored stone, the prompt sound would keep coming.
"Okay, let's crush a small monochrome stone first. ”
Wu Di made up his mind, looked up and stretched out his hand, grabbed a green colored stone the size of a fingernail, and squeezed it hard with his hand.
"Ding! The host activates the escape system, and within twelve hours, you can successfully escape from the quarry. Completing the quest will reward you with a copy of the 'Phantom Walk' and a 30-day lifespan. If the task fails, the system will deduct one day of life for the host. ”
Forehead......!
Wu Di, the corners of his mouth were slightly undetectable.
This system is a bit of a playful person? He was just beaten all over his body by Foreman Sun, and he didn't even have the strength to get up, how could he escape?
But when Wu Di's soul returned to his body, the changes in his body shocked him.
The original skin and fleshy body couldn't feel the slightest pain, and he raised his hand to touch the skin, but he couldn't find even the slightest whiplash.
"Was it a dream just now?"
Wu Di stood up suddenly, carefully checked his body again, not only did he have a whip wound, but he was a little stronger than before, he hadn't eaten for a day, and his whole body was still full of strength.
"It's not a dream! It's amazing. ”
I was overjoyed, but at this moment, there was a commotion outside the thatched house.
Within a few seconds, more than a dozen slave laborers ran in carrying an old man.
Looking at the old man, unconscious, he had multiple whiplashes all over his body, his left arm was empty, and the injuries were neat, as if his arm had been cut off by a sharp weapon.
"Grandpa......!"
An exclamation, Wu Di's head slammed.
That old man is Li Laoshi.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with him? He was fine half an hour ago, what's the matter...... How did it come to this?"
The more than a dozen slaves put Li Laoshi on the ground, and some of them sighed secretly, and a few of them stared at Wu Di viciously.
"Hmph! And the face asked, did Li Laoshi give you the steamed bun?"
Li Laoshi didn't eat lunch, and went to quarry with injuries on his body, and was spurred by Foreman Sun. Just half an hour earlier, he had been hit in the left arm by a falling boulder, and had to be slashed off with a knife. Little bastard, you're a plague god. ”
......
Perhaps awakened by the angry scolding of everyone, Li Laoshi's eyelids moved, and after opening them, he looked around, and finally fixed on Wu Di, who was kneeling beside him and crying bitterly.
"Little ...... Family...... How...... Why are you crying again?"
"Grandpa......!"
"No...... No...... Cry!"
Li Laoshi smiled kindly, raised his trembling right hand, and wiped away the tears from the corners of Wu Di's eyes.
"Today...... Henceforth...... Grandpa can't ...... I can't be with you anymore, you're ...... Are you good...... Live well. Escape from the quarry one day, ...... Go to the Immortal Sect and be an immortal who is immortal and capable, and benefit the people of Li and the common people. ”
"Grandpa......!"
Tears rained down, but no matter how Wu Di shook Li Laoshi, the white-haired old man always had a kind smile on his face, but he couldn't open his eyes anymore.
"Sun ...... Big...... I'm going to kill you. ”
