Chapter XXXVII
At noon, the East Eighth Mining Area.
The scorching sun is scorching, the sun is shining, on the last day of the end of the year, the miners' hearts are a little happy, the annual selection of outer disciples is here again, even if you can't choose, you can rest for a few days, this is the only time of the year to rest.
I just don't know who will be selected this time?
But no matter who you are, as long as you can be chosen, it means that from then on, you will become one of the few koi fish, and your life will change drastically from then on, and you will enter another galaxy.
That is the Tianmu Star with more abundant resources, more powerful strength, and many cultivation sects and strengths!
Although the other galaxy may be better, maybe it will be more difficult to mix, but people are always curious, always yearning for higher planets and galaxies, and it seems that the world there will be more exciting.
Some people, at the end of the year, run frantically like sharks that smell blood, trying to leap through the dragon gate to become the one who crosses the planet.
Lin Chen picked a mine hole at random today, holding the long handle of the shovel in both hands, and slowly digging the mine, in the past half a year, Lin Chen has used more than one shovel.
In the end, this may be the last time he will mine, and Lin Chen is not in a hurry.
Since he crossed over, he has been mining for a year, and I wonder who else is harder than himself, who is more miserable than himself? Who is more unlucky than himself, and who else?
Lin Chen could only silently digest his own bitterness in his heart, especially after his younger brother Zhenyu left, the days became even more monotonous, crossing over, how did he feel that as soon as he crossed over, it was a life-and-death survival in the wild, and he couldn't eat enough every day, but he survived strongly.
Lin Chen shook his head, fortunately, he embarked on the path of cultivation, and now he has seen the dawn, and tomorrow he can leave this barren planet, Nuha Star.
Lin Chen wears this ragged shirt all year round, the weather is getting cooler at this time, and the temperature is getting colder, but he doesn't have any extra clothes to wear, after cultivating, he doesn't feel cold, as long as the source force is running, his whole body will immediately be warm, if before, he still has to mine hard to resist the harsh cold of winter.
Not having enough to eat, not being warm, and doing heavy work to resist the harsh environment, the famous saying of the miners in the East Eighth Mining Area is that life is hope!
In the East Eight Mining Area, it can be said that everyone is looking forward to becoming an outer disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, following the Tianmu Main Star, and escaping from this low-level planet that is 'barren' and 'reduced in life'.
While Lin Chen was mining, he heard the whispers of the miners next to him.
"I don't know who will be selected this year?
"Hmph, I'm a miscellaneous disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, and now I've been here to serve in Nuhaxing for a year, so it's my turn to go back this time. ”
"Brother, I said that this is really not necessarily, I have experienced three selections of outer disciples, and each selection is not based on the origin, I know that you are from the main star of Tianmu, and your identity is superior, but you have come over, what's the matter, you still want to eat with your background?
Suddenly, a voice that lowered its voice and was slightly angry came.
"Source power and qualifications? Do you mean that I, a Tianmu star, are not as qualified as you as a native of Nuha?"
"That's not it, this qualification, it depends on your talent, and it doesn't matter where you come from, I'm afraid it doesn't have much to do with it!"
Hmph, you products of low-level planets will never be able to understand what bloodline is and what talent inheritance is, forget it, I won't bother to talk too much. ”
Another miner's voice came out, slightly disdainful.
"It's useless to talk a lot, in the end, the strength will be revealed, they all came to Nuhaxing as a miner, and they are still pretending to be in front of us!"
Lin Chen listened and immediately took a few more looks, he was also from the Tianmu Main Star, but after coming here, he didn't seem to be treated very well, and he didn't have many friends.
Maybe it was because he saw Lin Chen turn his head, and the voice continued to be dissatisfied.
"What do you see, don't you just know how to mine a little? Being able to mine means that you can be selected? Don't dream, I've seen a lot of miscellaneous disciples like you from Tianmu Xing, many people have worked in this mining area all their lives until they die of old age and have not been selected!"
Lin Chen was speechless for a while, not knowing what to say.
“.......”
Suddenly, the sharp voice of Supervisor Liu from the mine in the East Eighth District came out, "Son of a bitch, what are you doing!
Supervisor Liu jumped down from the high platform in the center, his eyes swept sharply over several people, and he said slightly angrily.
"Just because today is the last day, don't you give me a good job, right? Let me tell you, the selection of outer disciples is not something you can dream of, it is a proof of the return of geniuses, as far as you malnourished seeds are concerned, it is still a problem to eat enough every day, and what about the selection of outer disciples, I am afraid you have not even seen the source stone!"
Supervisor Liu knew very well that he had been demoted to Nuha Star by a disciple of the outer sect before, and this time, he was very sure to return to the Divine Sword Sect, and he would no longer have to stay in this Nuha Star where birds don't, this year, his contribution to the source stone of the mining area ranked first in the Eastern District, and he went back almost like an iron nail, there was no suspense, but the miners below were different.
"Don't think that you are a species of alien talents, and you don't pee and look in the mirror, and you think that you are really cultivation material, and you are really a dog!"
Several miners on Lin Chen's side hurriedly shut up and dug up the mine, but Lin Chen was silent, and the shovel in his hand smashed on the mountain of the mine again and again, and the black soil was constantly turned out.
Supervisor Liu's eyes swept over the backs of several people one by one, and when he saw Lin Chen, Supervisor Liu's eyes suddenly paused, then narrowed his eyes and walked over slowly.
Walking to Lin Chen's side, Supervisor Liu patted Lin Chen's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Lin Chen, I remember your name, this year, we have contributed the most source stone in the East Eighth Mining Area, thanks to you!"
Lin Chen stuck the shovel into the black dirt on the side, and then clenched his fist, "This is as it should be, thanks to the wise leadership of Supervisor Liu!"
has been on the earth for so long, even if Lin Chen doesn't know the intricate interpersonal relationships of officialdom, he is still familiar with patting sycophants, and he is not sloppy at all.
Supervisor Liu raised his head slightly, closed his eyes slightly, Lin Chen's words made him very comfortable, but despite this, he still opened his eyes, looked at Lin Chen and said.
"It's been so long, you are such an important miner, I didn't go to comfort you, you see today is also the last day, I'll go to your house to have a look, if the conditions are too poor, I can mention it to the above, and improve your living conditions." ”
As soon as the words ended, Lin Chen was shocked in his heart, Supervisor Liu said that he wanted to go to his house to have a look?
Could it be that the tragic situation at home last time was caused by Supervisor Liu? It has already turned over enough, isn't this enough!
But if he directly refuses Supervisor Liu, Supervisor Liu can directly report to the top of the Divine Sword Sect, if he reports tomorrow that he has violated the mining rules and canceled his qualification for the selection of outer disciples, then his hope of going out will collapse.
Lin Chen's face was embarrassed, and he said with a little hesitation.
"I'm afraid this is not very convenient, my home is relatively far away, it will take a while in the past, Supervisor Liu has every opportunity, tomorrow is the selection of outer disciples, I'm afraid it will delay ......"
But Lin Chen was interrupted before he could finish speaking.
"If you don't delay, how can it be, you are the most powerful assistant in our mining area, how can you be delayed? I haven't been going to see you for more than half a year, and if I leave in the future, I won't see you again." ”
Supervisor Liu smiled and patted Lin Chen on the shoulder, and the strength in his hand couldn't help but increase a little, the meaning is self-evident, don't refuse me, otherwise you won't be able to eat, just walk around.
Lin Chen nodded, anyway, the previous room was almost cleaned up, and the source stones were all placed in the storage bag.
"Okay, no problem, since Supervisor Liu takes such care of me, it's better to be respectful. ”
Supervisor Liu's smile was even worse, and there was a taste of treachery, all of which fell into the eyes of the miners outside.
After Supervisor Liu left, he suddenly whispered, "It seems that this Supervisor Liu doesn't want Lin Chen to have a better time, and he has to be tested and selected by the outer disciples, at this time, give the big celebrities around him a dismount, isn't the credit all his?"
"Lin Chen is very auspicious, I don't think I will be able to come to participate in the selection of the outer door tomorrow, if I miss this opportunity, I will have to wait for the next year. ”
"Hmph! I said a long time ago, Lin Chen is just a villain, and after he is in the limelight enough, he is like a bird, beaten bloody!"
“......”
Lin Chen just continued to bury his head in mining, for other people, he usually didn't have much contact, and the relationship with other miners was not very good, and he didn't want to pay attention to other people's discussions.
In this way, the sky was getting dark, and with a piercing whistle, Supervisor Liu's loud voice suddenly came.
"Dogs, today is the last day of mining this year, you can finally relax, go home and eat and drink, and continue to work next year, but you won't see me next year. After laughing dryly, Supervisor Liu continued,
"As for the selection of outer disciples, you focus on participation, that thing doesn't belong to you at all, don't think about it! It's not too small, don't daydream!"
The miners below immediately dispersed and quickly ran to the door, everyone knew that today was the last mining time of the year.
When the crowd was almost gone, Supervisor Liu's eyes finally looked at Lin Chen, who had just put down the shovel.
