Tang Dynasty.
In the second year of Zhenguan.
In the most prosperous place of Chang'an City, there is a large locker.
The East and West Markets are located on both sides of Zhuque Street. They are the commercial centers of Chang'an City. The term "shopping" originated from this.
Three days ago, in a clinic in an alley of the West Market.
"Doctor, I really can't live more than three days?"
A boy about fifteen or sixteen years old in the clinic.
He has a delicate appearance and a graceful figure, giving people a sense of calmness. But this boy looks sick, as if he may die at any time.
Strangely, there is no worry or fear of death on this boy's face.
"Young man, doctors can only cure diseases, but they can't save lives!" The doctor sighed and said regretfully.
"Thank you for telling me, doctor, I'll leave first."
The boy smiled and bowed to the doctor, then walked out of the clinic.
"Alas! What a pity for such an elegant young man, what a pity!"
The doctor shook his head and sighed again.
When the boy walked out of the clinic, he suddenly stopped.
"Hmm? Why do I feel like something is missing in my head? And there are so many strange ideas."
The boy stepped on his heels and thought for a while, then shook his head. Completely different from his previous elegant temperament, he staggered out of Chang'an City...
...
The boy's name is Su Chen. He was an orphan from Zuxing and grew up in an orphanage.
But five days ago, he inexplicably traveled to the Tang Dynasty, to this unknown boy.
The sad thing is that this guy is also an orphan, and what's worse is that he is a sickly person who will not live long.
I don't know how his predecessor lived to the age of 16.
"Other time travelers are either princes or grandchildren of the emperor, or sons of ministers."
"At the very least, they are the sons of landlords with fields and land."
"I just have a shabby thatched hut in the suburbs!"
"I have nothing! Now I'm almost dead!"
Su Chen said angrily in his heart.
This is not the beginning of hell, this is a dead end!
When he first arrived in the Tang Dynasty, Su Chen was completely stunned. It was hard for him to accept the reality. Anyway, he had no worries in his previous life. He just lived in a different place.
But how should he survive in the Tang Dynasty where he was unfamiliar with the place?
Su Chen thought of the refining of fine salt, which was a must for time travelers. He thought that he would be a rich man in the future, but there was no salt at home.
Su Chen didn't know that resources such as salt, iron, books, and paper were all in the hands of the aristocratic families, and even the royal family had to look at their faces.
So, he dragged his heavy body to a salt mine, hoping to get some salt for refining, but was beaten half to death by the servants of the Cui family and thrown on the mountain.
"It's all a lie! Without a backer, can you see the emperor whenever you want? You dare to deal in salt? The Five Surnames and Seven Families will kill you!"
If he hadn't gone to deal in salt, he wouldn't have died so quickly.
...
Outskirts of Chang'an City.
There is a dilapidated village here, with about thirty or fifty households, all of which are adobe houses.
It is said that they moved here during the war at the end of the Sui Dynasty.
There is a thatched house at the bottom of a small hill not far from the village.
Su Chen sat on a stone in front of the thatched house.
After thinking for a while, he shook his head helplessly, got up and carried a broken hoe to the mountain.
He looked at the surrounding environment, nodded with satisfaction, picked up the hoe and slowly dug.
After digging for more than an hour and taking two breaks, he finally dug a pit about two meters long, 90 centimeters wide, and 80 centimeters deep.
"I really can't dig anymore, so let it go!"
Since I sat by the pit and took a deep breath to rest, I suddenly felt dizzy and felt that my body was floating and my soul was about to leave my body.
"Is this the feeling of death?"
"That's good! Maybe, when I close my eyes, I will go back to the past?"
"Since I'm here, I'll make the best of it!"
After saying that, Su Chen picked up the hoe and lay down in the pit. He used the hoe to slowly dig the soil on the edge of the pit back into the pit and covered his body with soil from his feet.
As more and more soil covered his body, Su Chen felt that he was about to suffocate.
He was more certain that it was time for him to die.
Close your eyes and wait quietly for death to come.
[Beep! Beep! Beep...]
[Host is about to die! ]
[System activation conditions are met! ]
[Ding! Congratulations! The Hero Domination System has been successfully activated! ]
[Do you want to receive the novice gift package? ]
[Do you want to receive it? ]
…
At this time, Su Chen, who was lying in the pit, was already conscious.
Suddenly, a voice sounded in his mind, but Su Chen still had no reaction.
He vaguely heard [Do you want to receive it?], but Su Chen could no longer speak and answered in a daze:
"Receive it!"
In an instant, Su Chen felt as if his soul had returned.The whole person regained consciousness instantly, and turned over and sat up like a corpse.
"I am alive, why am I still here?"
After dying once, shouldn't I return to the modern era?
Su Chen sat in the pit, looked around, and confirmed that he was still on the barren mountain just now.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for getting the novice gift package: all diseases are cured! ]
"Newbie gift package? System?"
Su Chen was stunned and said happily: "There is a way!"
"System, are you there?" He quickly climbed out of the pit and patted the dirt on his body.
[Ding! Yes. ]
"In addition to all diseases, what else is there in the gift package?"
Su Chen believed that in the ancient feudal dynasties, human life was worthless, and he had to have military force to protect himself.
[Ding! No more! ]
"What! Just one is also called a gift package? Did you take kickbacks?" Su Chen questioned.
[Ding! Friendly reminder to the host, you are currently in an ancient feudal dynasty, you have no power and influence, no matter how much you are given, you can't keep it. 】
[Host should first consider how to live a stable life, integrate into the current society first and then make other plans. 】
Su Chen heard these kind reminders from the system, not only did he not feel at ease, but he became more vigilant.
Is this a thinking system?
"It shouldn't be the case. If the system has any bad intentions, it should find a host who is an encyclopedia type.
As for me, hehe...!"
Su Chen secretly kept a watchful eye, but he had to say that the system's reminder made sense.
"System, then please introduce yourself, what functions do you have!"
[This system is: Domination of the world system! ]
"Unify the world? But I don't want to be the emperor!"
He didn't want to kill Li Shimin and become an emperor himself.
[You don't have to be the emperor, you can also assist the wise monarch to achieve the goal]
"Then what benefits do I have?"
[There is nothing this system can't do, only you can't think of it! 】
Su Chen was overjoyed, so awesome?
"Well, can I sign in now?"
[Don't compare me to those low-level sign-in systems! ]
Su Chen frowned. People with systems are just lazy and can become stronger by signing in every day?
"Which system do you belong to?"
[This system belongs to the task system]
"Tsk! It's better to sign in to the system!"
Su Chen took a look at the pit he had dug, and secretly wondered whether to lie back and die again.
Reactivate it and change to a better system.
The task system is no different from cattle and horses.
But it doesn't feel safe, it's good to be alive.
"Well, let's take it one step at a time! If it doesn't work, die halfway."
"What tasks are there now?"
[Ding! Main task: Make the country rich and the people strong!
Time limit: 3 years
Task reward: rewards will be issued according to the completion progress!
Task failure: local organs will grow ten years backwards. 】
Su Chen couldn't help it after hearing that there was a punishment.
He lay down in the pit again without thinking and buried himself in the dirt again.
[Hey~Hey~Hey, host, what are you doing? Don't be impulsive! This system is just joking, to adjust the atmosphere, don't take it seriously! ]
"Fuck, I tolerated the cattle and horse system, and you still want to punish me?
I'd rather die, you can find whoever you want."
...
After a "fierce" tug, Su Chen calmed down.
"I'll take this task! Tell me, where can I meet Li Shimin tomorrow?" Su Chen said confidently, it's all written in the book.
[Side quest: Settle in Chang'an.
Time limit: unlimited
Task rewards: 5,000 kilograms of sweet potatoes, curved plow production diagram, self-rotating waterwheel production detailed diagram! ]
Su Chen returned to the thatched house, and the sky gradually darkened.
Lying on the ‘wooden bed’, thinking about what to do next, the more I thought about it, the hungrier I felt.
Previously, due to illness, I didn’t feel hungry even after not eating for five days.
Now that my body has recovered, I suddenly feel hungry.
“Don’t think about it anymore. To complete the side quest, I have to go to Chang’an City first. Let’s talk about it tomorrow!”
“Haha! Mr. Cui, wait!”
Su Chen fell asleep peacefully.
