Time travel was definitely not part of Lin Chong's life plan.
This bothered him greatly.
But it would be a lie to say that we don't envy this kind of life where one becomes the protagonist of one's life, becomes an immortal or a saint, and reigns supreme.
Think of flying, longevity, turning your hand to make clouds and rain, and destroying the universe with just one thought...
What moved Lin Chong the most was to be able to live like a wild crane, completely free and without any constraints. He could wander in the deepest ocean, walk on the moon, and watch the rise and fall of dynasties in human history. This was Lin Chong's most dreamy imagination of life.
Lin Chong sat at the head of the 1.5-meter-by-2-meter bed in the bedroom and saw the first sunrise in the other world at 5:35 in the morning.
A sun that looks no different from the one on Earth slowly rises from the end of the layers of white mountains, casting a layer of orange on the top of the snow-capped mountains and dyeing the white clouds below the top of the mountains golden. Looking down from here, everything in the world seems to be within sight.
This mountain is really high.
"Where am I?" Lin Chong asked the system.
"Kunlun Mountain." displayed on the computer.
"Why is it like this?" Lin Chong asked the system, "It's so cold outside and so high, are you sure I can get out? I won't freeze to death on the way?"
"There are benefits for newbies. Look for it. It should be there. It's a golden fairy fruit." A line of words appeared on the computer.
Golden fairy fruit?
What?
Lin Chong looked hard towards that world.
In the midst of the vast expanse of white and silver, there was indeed a green plant that shouldn't have appeared in a snow pit. It was about as tall as a green ivy, but it had golden fruits the size of a baby's fist.
It looks delicious - but common sense tells you that anything that looks good in the wild is poisonous.
"Golden Immortal Fruit, one piece can build the foundation of immortality, achieve the status of a scattered immortal, and help you pass the nine heavenly tribulations. It can help you cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm." The introduction text was displayed on the computer.
"The Golden Immortal is very powerful?" Lin Chong couldn't help but be tempted.
"In this world, the level below Hunyuan Daluo Jinxian and Daluo Jinxian is Jinxian. As long as the three flowers on the top of the head are immortal, they can live as long as the heaven and earth." The computer displayed.
This is awesome!
Lin Chong stood up.
He estimated that the snow cave where the golden fairy fruit was located was less than ten meters away from him. It was indeed a benefit for novices. If he traveled normally, the fruit would be at his lips as soon as he woke up.
Are the treatment for time travellers so good nowadays?
Tsk tsk.
Lin Chong first tried to put his hand through the wall of the alien world.
This 'wall' between the other world and the real world is completely different. That wall is as hard as reinforced concrete, but it cannot block the sound.
This wall was so soft that it seemed like seeing through a layer of water waves, but it completely blocked out the warmth and sound of that world. When Lin Chong sat at the head of the bed and looked at the other world, it was like he was watching a huge, silent LCD TV.
When Lin Chong stretched out his hand, he immediately felt the biting cold.
My hands were numb from the cold in an instant.
“It’s so cold!”
Lin Chong retracted his hand and saw the blue color spreading on it. How cold was it outside?
In order to test the temperature, Lin Chong took an electronic thermometer, hung it on the clothes hanger and stretched it out.
When I took it back a minute later, I saw frost on the LCD surface of the electronic thermometer, and the number displayed on it was: minus forty degrees Celsius.
"Oh my god!"
Lin Chong began to search through boxes and cabinets for a down jacket. In Shanghai in winter, one doesn't need a very thick down jacket, but Lin Chong, who was full of crisis awareness, still prepared a special mountaineering-grade down jacket just to prevent a doomsday disaster like the one in the movie "The Day After Tomorrow".
Down jacket, ski gloves, hiking boots, goggles, scarf... After getting dressed, Lin Chong was sweating.
Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something.
"System, if I go out, can I come back?"
"Once you enter that world, everything here will disappear." Words appeared on the computer.
Ah...it is true.
Lin Chong began to pack his things, including the things he needed for the journey, including a computer full of data, food, tent, clothes, tools, various supplies, etc. He filled a huge backpack. Any more would affect his movements.
Two hours later, Lin Chong looked around his computer, the XBOX and PS4 in the living room, and so many comics and movies that there was no need to bring them.
"Should I take you with me?" Lin Chong asked again.
"I'm not going away," the computer displayed.
Okay.
Lin Chong took a deep breath.
Looking at the magnificent, boundless, and unknown world on the opposite side, a world where he is about to cross to accomplish great things, here I come!
Lin Chong was the first to step forward with his right foot. Since he was well-equipped, he did not feel much coldness.
At this moment, a blood-red shadow suddenly appeared in the snow pit where the golden fairy fruit grew, which was the target that Lin Chong had been staring at.
The contrast between the snow-white and the blood-red was so sharp that Lin Chong couldn't help but see it.
Hey? What is that?
Lin Chong looked carefully and saw that it was a... snake? A small one, with its tail propped up on the ground. The snake had a crown on its head, which was located below the snake's head, like a scarf with patterns. Now the crown was stretched out, reflecting colorful light.
What the hell...
Lin Chong's body was already halfway into the other world. His mountaineering-grade down jacket was very strong, so he didn't feel that cold. Just as he was about to put on his glasses to prevent snow blindness, he saw a flash of red light, and the little flower-crowned snake disappeared.
whoosh!
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
The little snake flashed.
Appeared at Lin Chong's feet.
The speed is unbelievable.
Lin Chong lowered his head, not knowing what expression or action to make, the little snake had already bitten Lin Chong's leg firmly.
nail!
It felt like a steel nail was driven into my leg bone.
It was like an electric current hitting my nerves.
Lin Chong let out a heart-wrenching scream.
“Aaaaaaah!”
It hurts! It hurts so much! It feels like someone is opening my skull and driving nails into it! Or someone is kicking my big toe against the wall until my bones are broken!
Lin Chong sat down on the ground, with severe pain overwhelming him. The smart watch that had been monitoring his heart rate sounded an alarm. Lin Chong took a glance while he was still conscious and saw that his heart rate had soared to 120 and was still rising!
I, I want, I want...it hurts so much.
Lin Chong had a thought that shocked him so much.
Life is like a string stretched to its limit and about to break.
Lin Chong fell to the ground with his eyes rolled back, half of his body was in the house and the other half was in another world.
…
I don’t know how long it took.
Lin Chong woke up.
It still remained tilted in a half-indoor and half-outdoor posture.
The sky in the other world was already dark and it was already night.
Lin Chong felt half of his body was numb from the cold, and he hurriedly crawled back into the house. While crawling, he felt that he was fine, except that he was extremely cold. His limbs and heart were very healthy, but what about the red snake?
Thinking of the red snake, Lin Chong was frightened.
I hurriedly looked towards the snow cave where the golden fairy fruit was. It was dark and I had to look very carefully to see a little red shadow buried in the snow. If I hadn't been bitten, I would have thought it was part of a plant.
"I'm not dead?"
Lin Chong was puzzled. The heart-wrenching pain just now was still in his memory, so how come the person was fine now?
Looking at the heart rate record on the smart watch again, I found that it jumped to nearly 300 for a period of time, then there was a short, strange blank, and then it returned to normal.
"System, what happened to me just now!?" Ask the system if you don't understand.
"You died, activated novice protection, and resurrected." The system replied.
"What is novice protection?" Lin Chong's mind moved.
“It is a state where one cannot be attacked. Before entering the path of cultivation, once one is seriously injured, one will enter this state. So, there is no need to worry at all. Go and eat the Golden Immortal Fruit and dominate the three realms.” The system bewitched Lin Chong.
"But I feel like I'm dead." Lin Chong asked again.
"Alive again." The system replied.
"That snake..."
"It's just a small obstacle on your way to dominating the three realms. Charge out! Defeat it!"
"roll!"
