Chapter 3 Neighbors
Lin Chen took a piece of meat from the hook and placed it on the stone platform, which was a bit similar to the earth's kitchen board, but it was too simple to use.
Seeing that Lin Chen had started cooking, Zhenyu next to him had no choice but to start studying again.
There was a pile of firewood in the inconspicuous corner of the stone house, which was specially used for heating and cooking, Lin Chen bent down to pick up the wood on the ground and put it into the hollow area under the stone platform, which made Lin Chen relieved that he was not allowed to be an imaginary primitive man to drill wood for fire.
Next to the firewood, there was a small box placed on a small stone platform, the small box contained black powder, Lin Chen applied the black powder to the middle part of the two firewoods, and rubbed the parts coated with black powder against each other according to the method in his memory.
Bang!
Sparks flew everywhere, just like the earth striking a match, because of the friction between the two firewoods, the middle part instantly ignited a flame, Lin Chen exhaled, these black flammable substances can ignite the firewood as long as they rub slightly.
After a while, the aroma of meat wafted out, and in the past two days that Lin Chen had traveled over, his younger brother Zhenyu had always made progress in Kua Linchen's cooking skills, but in fact, from the perspective of an earthling, Lin Chen felt that the meat he cooked was too unpalatable, and the delicacies of the earth were simply the same in the sky and on the earth.
Now that he has traveled to this abandoned planet, he has also become a miner, and Lin Chen can only eat it.
"Come on, it's time to eat. Lin Chen put the finished meat on the high platform.
The younger brother Zhenyu immediately rushed over, "It's so fragrant!" I couldn't wait to pick up the meat in front of me and gnaw it, "Brother Chen, you eat it too, I'm so hungry!"
Lin Chen nodded, his younger brother Zhenyu is only thirteen years old this year, and it is the time to grow his body.
"You eat more, the meat at home can last for two days, and after the acquired source force assessment is completed, I will go hunting again." ”
Food is very precious in the mining area, there is no free distribution, here two days of work, two days of rest, alternately, the two days of rest is for the miners here to hunt for a living.
In the dense forests of Nuha Star, all kinds of animals and beasts are also endless, and ordinary people with strength like Lin Chen can only hunt some weak beasts on the periphery.
While Lin Chen was eating, he was recalling and sorting out the memories in his head, and a lot of unfamiliar memories suddenly appeared in his head, which made Lin Chen's head still slightly swollen now, and he had not completely eased up.
The mining area of this planet is divided into two areas, the eastern area and the western area, the mining area where Lin Chen is located is the eastern area, and the eastern area is the area under the jurisdiction of the Divine Sword Sect, and Lin Chen is not familiar with the western area.
Since clicking on the game "Accept", Lin Chen has been very inexplicable, didn't he say that he got the universe god card? But so far, Lin Chen still hasn't seen the shadow of the god card, others are going to be the heir of a wealthy family, and get the blood of the sky, how can he be like he has poured blood mold for eight lifetimes, and crossed over to be a hard labor miner!
Now even the reward promised by the system, the Cosmic God Card, is gone.
......
Early the next morning, Lin Chen hurriedly got up and pushed open the stone door.
The early morning sunlight had already shone in through the stone cracks in the roof, and his younger brother Zhenyu was still sleeping, Lin Chen turned his head and yelled.
"Zhenyu, get up and read!"
"Ah, brother, it's still so early. Zhenyu also woke up in a daze.
"Come back and check your homework, don't be lazy!" Lin Chen pushed the door and walked out, there was also a dilapidated stone house about five or six hundred meters away from Lin Chen, and the door of this stone house happened to open at this time, and out of it came a young man with a tiger head and a slightly fat body.
"Lin Chen!" beckoned from afar, and the young man shouted.
Lin Chen also nodded, quickened his pace, and had the impression in his mind that this young man had lived here when Lin Chen had just come to Nuhaxing, and had always been a neighbor with Lin Chen.
"Xu Hu, it's early!" Lin Chen approached.
Xu Hu smiled, came over and patted Lin Chen's shoulder, Lin Chen, who was wearing tattered clothes, compared with Xu Hu, and knew that Xu Hu's life was better than Lin Chen's, and the clothes on Xu Hu's body were relatively complete, although they were a little worn, there were no holes.
"Why are you going to mine in East 8 today?"
Hearing Xu Hu's question, Lin Chen's expression was calm, and he turned his head to look at him, even his closest brother Zhenyu couldn't see that he had crossed over, and the neighbor Xu Hu definitely couldn't see anything, he said to Xu Hu.
"Yes, the envoys sent by the Divine Sword have come in the past two days, and they don't dare to be late. ”
The two walked briskly towards the mine, talking as they walked.
"Hehe, that's, tomorrow is a big day, the Divine Sword Sect is going to hold an election for the outer disciples in Nuhaxing, just in the East District Square, I heard that this time it is Elder Xu of the Divine Sword Sect who is leading the team. ”
Lin Chen was shocked, but on the surface, he still asked quietly, "Xu Hu, you know this, it seems that you are very sure of entering the Divine Sword Sect this time!"
Xu Hu looked stunned, but he turned his head and looked at Lin Chen seriously.
"Tatsuko, I know, you were sent to Nuha Star from the Main Star Divine Sword Dispatch, a native like me, it's really not easy to enter the Divine Sword Sect, you have no talent, but I just hope to go to the outside world to see, we can't mine here all our lives!"
Lin Chen was silent, Xu Hu was right, the people here have dreamed of walking out of Nuha Star all their lives, out of the mines, and going to other more advanced planets, and Lin Chen is no exception.
It's just that he has just come to this planet, Lin Chen is very unfamiliar with everything, and he feels that his life is threatened by the environment all the time, which makes him very uncomfortable, so he is very careful about everything.
The two walked to the entrance of the East Nine Mining Area, Lin Chen and Xu Hu said goodbye, the East Nine Mining Area was in front of the East Eight Mining Area, and Lin Chen continued to walk forward.
Soon walked to the East Eight Mining Area, a black mountain marked with the number eight appeared in front of him, and the overseer in a black robe scanned the miners in this mining area with cold eyes, if anyone was lazy and lax, or made them unhappy, the long whip in his hand was immediately whipped up, the skin and flesh were opened, and blood was splashed.
Lin Chen couldn't imagine how the original owner had spent two years here and still survived.
Walking to the front of his own mine, Lin Chen immediately began to work, in front of these numb overseers, only hard work and diligence will not attract attention, pick up the shovel, Lin Chen began to work.
The black stones of the mountain were dug out one by one, but the glittering source stones were difficult to dig and never appeared, and every time they appeared, they immediately pushed a cart to take them away.
Lin Chen wondered yesterday why these source stones were so precious, but no one had taken them privately?
Now that I think about such a large piece of source stone, without a storage bag, I really can't take it away, and I will definitely be found if I put it on my body, so these miners have been digging here for so many years, and no one has ever dared to steal the source stone.
Lin Chen continued to dig with a shovel, and occasionally a black-robed overseer walked past him, and a faint voice would come from behind him.
"Hurry up!
"Hurry up, boy, if you don't want to see blood, work hard for me!"
Lin Chen's movements in his hand couldn't help but speed up a little, his back seemed to be stared at by a ghostly gaze, and he didn't dare to look back at all, if he was found and turned his head to peek, the overseer would definitely come over with another whip.
The sunlight shines directly on the black mountains and the ground, and the air faintly reflects the faint light spots of light gold, and the dust around the mining area is covered with dust, blocking the sunlight in mid-air, and the continuous refraction directly weakens the brightness of the light several layers.
Until the sun set, with a whistle, all the black-robed overseers slowly turned around and left the mine, and all the miners also breathed a sigh of relief, put down the tools in their hands, and walked towards the exit of the mine.
Among the miners, there were fat and thin, old and young, and the younger miners had a bright light in their eyes at this time, discussing as they walked.
"Tomorrow, the outer disciples will be selected, guess who will be selected?"
"Who cares, anyway, I'm pretty sure this time, I almost chose last time. ”
"Yes, but this time our miner head Zhang Zhuo should definitely be chosen, last time I heard that he has already cultivated the source power. ”
"I heard that this Zhang Zhuo was demoted from the Divine Sword Sect, and he offended a certain inner disciple before, but he is so talented that he can cultivate the source power in the mining area, but here he also forms a gang, I can't get used to him. ”
"Eh, don't say this casually, if it reaches Zhang Zhuo's ears, it will definitely trouble you. ”
"He's leaving soon, what am I afraid of!"
"Don't say that, the disciples sent by the Excalibur usually have two brushes, and they can ...... without knowing it," the miner made a gesture to wipe his neck, his eyes full of conspiracy.
Listening to the gossip of these people, Lin Chen also walked towards the outside of the mine, not paying too much attention to it.
After working for a whole day, Lin Chen's body was tired, he hadn't eaten since he went out in the morning, he had three meals a day on the earth, and when he arrived at the dusty Noha Star, it became one meal a day, and even eating two meals a day was a luxury life.
"Tomorrow is the source force test. Lin Chen thought silently in his heart, and then walked quickly towards home.
