Chapter 1: The Miners of Noha
On a gray, desolate planet, one volcano after another emitting black smoke, strange-shaped black trees are all over the surface of the planet, as far as the eye can see, endlessly, all over the surface of the planet.
This planet is called "Noha".
The faint moonlight sprinkled on the uneven ground, and a layer of one-centimeter-thick dust could be faintly seen on the surface of the earth, and the gray, oppressive sky made the whole planet permeate with a kind of death atmosphere.
Beneath a medium-sized black volcano on Noha, there were hundreds of people working on the haulers, all dressed in ragged shoes and sweaty.
Some people are digging ore and digging holes in the volcano with shovels, while others are pushing two-wheeled iron ore carts, sweating profusely to transport some milky white ore with a faint white glow on the surface.
Suddenly, an astonishing white glow erupted in front of a mine, and a young man was standing in front of the mine with a shovel in a daze, and in front of his eyes was a huge piece of crystal clear ore that emitted a faint white glow.
Just as the boy was about to make a move, crouching down to dig out the ore, he instantly felt a cold, round tube pressing against his head.
A metallic, cold bullet hole was aimed at the teenager's temple.
"Why don't you move again, try again! Believe it or not, a shot from labor and management will make your head bloom?"
A stout man was aiming his gun at the young man's head, and the big man had a disdainful expression on his face, shouting and cursing beside the young man, and looking at the young man like a worthless dead dog.
The young man did not dare to make any more movements, he slowly raised his hands and stood still in place.
As he spoke, the big man's eyes looked greedily at the side of the mine, which was a large piece of milky white ore that glowed white.
The corners of his mouth tore to the left and right, revealing a mouth full of black teeth, and he sneered.
"You stupid, you probably don't know what's in front of you!
The boy standing in place is Lin Chen, 16 years old this year, and he is a new miner in Nuhaxing last year.
Originally, as a miscellaneous disciple of the Divine Sword Sect, he had the opportunity to become an outer disciple, but because Lin Chen was not talented enough, after two years, his cultivation realm was still the same as before, and he did not pass the annual assessment of the sect.
So he was sent by Excalibur to the abandoned planet - Nuha Star to be a slave and a miner, and his daily job was to dig mines for the sect and dig source stones.
Lin Chen looked at this huge ore that emitted white light, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes, but the cold gun hole was against his temple, and he quickly restrained the greed in his eyes and returned to his demented appearance.
Maybe others don't know that the consciousness of the original owner of his body had died a few days ago, and he had only crossed over from the earth a few days ago, and after the death of the original owner, his consciousness instantly occupied this body.
And he, from a distant earth.
In the past, Lin Chen didn't believe that there was such a thing as time travel, and he didn't believe it when he was killed, but now Lin Chen believes it, this kind of thing happened to him through time and space, and he actually crossed into a person with the same name and surname as himself, incredible!
When he was living on Earth, Lin Chen successfully interviewed for a large company with excellent grades, and received a higher salary than his peers, he was full of ambition and ready to make a big splash in the mall, and what was enviable was that he also had a beautiful and cute girlfriend.
Lin Chen vaguely remembered at this time that he loved his girlfriend very much, and he was very satisfied with living at home every day.
But one day, the tide of ancient martial arts on the earth hit, and the global news was reporting on ancient martial arts, and in an instant, it seemed that everyone could cultivate, and cultivating ancient martial arts became the center and major event of personal life.
What's more, country Z has also issued relevant laws and regulations, people who do not have the talent of ancient martial arts cannot be promoted in the company, and this regulation directly raises whether or not they will cultivate ancient martial arts to a life-threatening level.
Without thinking much about it, Lin Chen ran to test his talent in high spirits that day.
But I never expected that,
In the end, he was such an excellent person, but he didn't have any ancient martial arts talent!
After his girlfriend learned the news, she immediately told Lin Chen euphemistically that they were not suitable for being together, and after the company found out, they immediately gave Lin Chen a persuasion ceremony, compensated Lin Chen for 6 months' salary and sent him away.
Originally, Lin Chen thought that good grades meant everything, but now Lin Chen found that good grades were useless, and without the talent to cultivate ancient martial arts, his life fell to the bottom in an instant.
Thinking of his previous excellent results, he was an example envied by others in front of outsiders, but now, it turns out that those who don't mix well can mix even better than themselves with a little bit of ancient martial arts talent.
The depression in Lin Chen's heart is beyond words, his girlfriend mentions breaking up, the company wants to persuade him to quit, and his future is bleak.
This moment was Lin Chen's darkest moment, he was depressed, he was bored playing games at home every day, and playing a game called 'Doomsday Hero' all night.
He wants to be completely addicted to it, he has no talent in reality, but at least he can get some comfort in the game, and after Lin Chen played the game for three days and three nights, he finally defeated the ultimate boss of this game and completed the clearance.
At this point, an options window pops up on the game screen.
"You are the first person to successfully pass the most difficult task in this game, and this game has ended in your hands, for which the system will reward you with a cosmic god card, and you will perform plane crossing, take away your life, and be unrepentant, do you accept it?"
Lin Chen resisted the drowsiness, he used the last bit of strength in his body, and clicked "Accept"!
Time travel, plane transformation.
After waking up, Lin Chen came to this world, came to this planet called "Nuha Star", and inexplicably became a miner, these few days, Lin Chen also knew that the thing they had to dig every day was called the source stone mine.
The most precious stones in it are those stones that emit milky white light, which are called source stones, which can be used to cultivate source power!
And the source stones that were dug up were never something that they miners could hope to get, but they dug them out for the official disciples of the sect and the high-ranking elders of the sect to use.
Seeing Lin Chen raise his hands and not dare to move, standing next to Lin Chen, the thick man suddenly laughed, he looked at Lin Chen like an ant.
"Boy, this source stone is of high quality, it is a rare medium-grade source stone, how can a miner like you who is inferior to a miscellaneous disciple look at it? You still want to touch it just now? It's really blinding!"
The big man suddenly raised his right foot and kicked it towards the motionless Lin Chen, Lin Chen only felt a huge pain in his arm, and then his body fell to the dusty ground with a 'bang', kicking up a cloud of dust.
Lin Chen has never beaten him like this since he was a child on earth, he held his painful arm, raised his head and stared at the big man, the huge pain in his arm told him that everything that had just happened was so real, he really crossed over!
The big man looked at Lin Chen contemptuously, suddenly approached, and said with a fierce look in his eyes.
"Bastard, what do you see, what do you look at, why do you look at it again, I'll immediately gouge out your eyeballs and believe it or not?"
Lin Chen forcibly withdrew his gaze, he knew that what Dahan said was true, and it was possible to do it, even if Dahan killed Lin Chen immediately, no one here would say a word for Lin Chen.
There is no rule of law here!
The ancient martial arts tide of the earth is coming, everyone wants to practice martial arts, but there is still a legal system, but here, life is not valuable, only the weak eat the strong, strength is everything!
Lin Chen buried his head and didn't look at the big man, his lowered eyes were red and bloodshot, staring at the dusty ground, he clenched his fists, his slightly long nails pinched into the flesh of his palms, and unconsciously overflowed with blood.
On the earth, because he didn't have the talent of ancient martial arts and couldn't cultivate, he fell to the bottom in an instant, the company laid off employees, his girlfriend broke up, and all the unlucky things came to him!
But in a world where everything was new, he swore he would never be so again!
He's going to get stronger!
He wants to cultivate and has great strength!
The big man's laughter spread far away, and many other miners also secretly glanced over here, but quickly withdrew their gaze and did not dare to look more.
All the miners knew that this big man's name was "Wolf Ji", he was wearing a gray cloth coat with a small sword engraved on it, and he was an outer disciple sent by the Divine Sword Sect to collect the source stone this time.
"Wolf Ji, what's going on?" At this time, another man in gray clothes was walking briskly not far away.
Wolf Ji's expression flashed, he turned his back and beckoned to the large source stone in front of Lin Chen's eyes, the source stone immediately flew up in the air, Wolf Ji pointed to a small cloth bag around his waist, and the large source stone immediately entered the small bag and disappeared.
This scene fell in Lin Chen's eyes without leakage.
When another cloth-clothed man approached, Wolf Ji turned around and immediately said, "Shaofeng, it's nothing, there's a kid here who is lazy, I'll just teach you a lesson." ”
Shao Feng walked closer, glanced suspiciously at the mine in front of him and Lin Chen who fell to the ground, rolled his eyes, and peeked at the small cloth bag on Wolf Ji's waist, retracted his gaze and continued, "Okay, Elder Xu summoned us over, this time the selection of the disciples of the outer sect of Nuha Star will start in two days." ”
