Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Gemstone Village.
Although the name sounds grand, it’s only famous for its special mineral resources.
However, looking around, the entire village doesn’t feel prosperous, but rather a bit desolate.
“Xiao Xin, come back to work!” A voice from a distance woke up a young man sitting by the river.
The young man slowly got up, patted the dust off himself, and said, “Got it, Uncle Zhang, you go first, I’ll be there in a moment.”
The young man in front of him was Xin.
Six years ago, he was abandoned at the entrance of Gemstone Village.
The villagers couldn’t bear to see a child freeze to death, so they helped him.
Xin survived by relying on the kindness of many families.
However, Xin also had his own secret: he wasn’t a native of this World; he was a transmigrator.
In his previous life, Xin was an orphan, and his personality wasn’t very lively, so he had no resistance to being alone again.
Instead, the care he received from the villagers made him feel a warmth he hadn’t experienced in his previous life.
As a transmigrator, Xin naturally had his own cheat, which was another secret of his: he had a system, but unfortunately, it was an unactivated system that always displayed “Loading.”
After learning to walk and talk, Xin confirmed the World he was in: Douluo Continent, the World of a novel he had read in his previous life.
After confirming the timeline of his arrival in this World, Xin’s first thought was to find Tang San.
This decision might seem embarrassing, but if he thought about it carefully, following Tang San was definitely the simplest way to clear the game.
As long as his talent was decent and he obtained Immortal Herbs, even if he didn’t become a god, he could at least live stably in this World.
Unfortunately, some things, even with foreknowledge, cannot be changed.
After much inquiry, Xin finally learned the location of Saint Spirit Village from a merchant caravan.
The journey was truly far, basically spanning the entire Heaven Dou Empire.
This situation directly dispelled Xin’s idea of going to Saint Spirit Village.
Xin tidied himself up and headed to his workplace, the huge mine pit.
There were many villagers working in the mine pit.
Although the rare minerals were in Gemstone Village, the village chief here was very smart.
He knew that the village couldn’t get rich relying on this place and might even bring trouble upon themselves, so he reported it to the Empire.
What they got in return was that villagers could work here, and three work-study student slots each year.
The wages weren’t very high, but compared to other jobs, it was already quite good.
Logically, six-year-old Xin didn’t need to come to the mine pit, as this job wasn’t mandatory.
Even if the villagers of Gemstone Village didn’t come, the Empire would arrange for people to come.
The main reason Xin came here was to earn money.
Since the system hadn’t activated all these years, Xin naturally wouldn’t sit idly by.
Continuous physical training resulted in him having considerable strength at a young age.
Watching Xin enter the mine pit, the others familiarly said, “Xiao Xin, a Spirit Master adult from Spirit Hall will be here tomorrow to awaken the Spirits of the six-year-old children in our village.
Aren’t you excited?”
Xin forcibly suppressed the excitement in his heart.
With the system unactivated, the chance to change his life was tomorrow’s Spirit Awakening.
Xin took a deep breath and said somewhat helplessly, “I’m excited, but I don’t know what my Spirit will be.
If it’s a useless Spirit or I have no spirit power, wouldn’t I be excited for nothing?”
Uncle Zhang, who had called Xin earlier, quickly said, “Bah!
Bah!
Xiao Xin, don’t say such inauspicious things.
You’re not from the village.
Look how beautiful you are; you clearly aren’t a villager, so you’ll definitely get a good Spirit.”
