Chapter 123 Chapter 123
Ah Yan looked at the clothes Lu Chen was wearing. Hmm, it was a light blue robe. The material looked quite good and the style was classical. However, it was somewhat different from the clothes sold in the canteen before.
What kind of plane did he go to to be tortured like this? It looked like he was blown up by something.
Lu Chen took a deep breath at this moment, several deep breaths, he touched his left chest, only to feel his heart still beating violently.
"Please take your seats. I'm going to go change my clothes and pack up."
Ah Yan watched him get up from the ground, and he tried his best to make a graceful posture. He snapped his fingers, opened a door and disappeared.
However, due to the subversion of his current image, the two people looked a little uneasy when looking at his back.
It wasn’t the first time for the two people to come to the Plane Convenience Store. Since the boss said so, A Yan and Zhu Jue just “help themselves in the store”.
She looked at the counter in the canteen and saw that the merchandise seemed to be stuck with last month's stock.
Ah Yan pinched his chin, which meant that after last month, Lu Chen went to some dimension to purchase goods and encountered such an accident.
There are risks in plane travel, so be cautious!
At this moment, Lu Chen, who had quickly washed and changed his clothes, felt sad when he thought about his journey through different dimensions.
He looked in the mirror and saw that his carefully maintained hair had turned into a mess, even after washing. Lu Chen let out a long breath and combed his hair a few times, but it became more and more tangled. He simply found a headband and tied it up.
Since the last successful upgrade of the VIP reception room, he has successfully secured five VIP customers, completed the task and held a lottery.
The prize for the lucky draw is a non-limited opportunity to explore a link to an unknown plane.
Lu Chen's canteen is currently connected to the future interstellar era, the apocalyptic plane, and the ancient times hundreds of years ago.
In his past explorations, he seldom encountered any real crises because he spent most of his time sitting in the canteen waiting for customers to come, and he went out only to understand the times and purchase goods.
It can be said that Lu Chen’s greatest support has always been the plane gate that he, as the master, can appear and disappear at any time.
A canteen attracts customers through its door, but for Lu Chen, as long as he finds a door, no matter what kind of door it is, stepping through it is like going home.
After thinking about the reward for a while, perhaps the adventurous spirit in his bones took over, and he decided to explore this unknown plane.
It doesn't take up the normal plane cool-down period, and you might be able to pick up something good and see the new world.
Then he encountered a big pit in his life.
Almost, almost couldn't come back.
Lu Chen's hands were shaking at this moment. The world is so big that no plane of the world can be underestimated.
This unknown dimension was totally beyond Lu Chen's ability as he had only been to the low-tech and technological dimensions.
This is a high-level martial arts plane.
To put it more precisely, it is a dimension like the world of fantasy novels.
Because he didn't know the specific situation of this plane before setting off, Lu Chen could be said to have brought everything he could think of and use over in his personal space button.
On the first day of arriving at this plane, Lu Chen was as cautious as ever. He looked at the people on the street wearing ancient-style clothing, and felt relieved but also a little disappointed.
Lu Chen found the clothes he brought with him in the space button and put them on. From the hairpin to the clothes, he tried his best to make himself ordinary and indistinguishable from the crowd. Then he used the silver hairpin, which was ordinary in workmanship and style, to exchange for silver at the pawnshop.
At first, he thought this was just an ordinary ancient plane, but when he saw people on the street wearing swords on their waists, and the belts were like soft swords, Lu Chen silently improved his psychological assessment in his heart, and determined that this plane might be a martial arts plane. After that, he secretly observed whether there were any fights on the streets, and whether someone would suddenly throw bowls or pick up knives in the inns and restaurants.
Fortunately, this kind of situation does not happen very often. Lu Chen guessed that this small city called Zhaixing City is probably an ordinary place where ordinary people live.
Even on the third day after arriving in this plane, when he saw teams wearing the same uniform and holding standard weapons appearing, Lu Chen guessed that they were probably some kind of martial arts sect.
It was not until this group of people met another group that Lu Chen saw a ball of fire coming out of a man's hand. He finally realized that something was wrong.
This is not a martial arts plane.
In the ancient world, it was not a supernatural power.
The other person drew his sword and dropped a drop of heavy water, which extinguished the fire.
It's very Taoist and also very fantasy.
At that moment, Lu Chen realized that the danger level of this world was far greater than before. After all, he could pretend to be a god in the ancient dimension, and there was also a stable social order in the interstellar era.
Even in the apocalyptic world, as long as you enter the base, the world is still in order.
But in this plane, the order of mortals is insignificant and vulnerable in front of the true superiors.
Lu Chen realized that this world was dangerous, but he also thought of the huge wealth possibilities.
In the following days, Lu Chen, like an ordinary mortal, went to the teahouse to listen to storytellers tell the legends of these "star warriors".
This plane enables one to cultivate oneself and draw upon the power of the stars in heaven and earth for cultivation. Most major sects are named after the Star Battles in the Heavens, and warriors who specialize in different star techniques display star power similar to the Five Elements.
After hearing the storyteller telling legends about top-notch warriors who could shatter the void, tear through space, and travel across continents, Lu Chen set these warriors with extraordinary abilities as his biggest targets of vigilance in this world.
But what no one expected was that the way he fell into the trap was extremely low-end and unreasonable.
Lu Chen was just watching the excitement of the warriors with a group of mortals. They heard that a secret realm near Zhaixing City was about to open, and the major sects would hold a competition to decide the order and number of places.
He was just an ordinary person among the crowd of people watching the warriors. He could only watch the warriors in the air from a distance as the crowd moved. The warriors had already finished the fight before his brain could react to each move.
In the interstellar world, Lu Chen was worried that his identity as an ancient man would be exposed, so he did not dare to undergo genetic modification, and he did not dare to drink the medicine he bought.
He stayed in the apocalyptic plane for two months but still showed no signs of awakening any supernatural powers.
In this high-level martial arts plane, looking at these "star warriors" who can fly and hide, Lu Chen was really moved. No matter what weapons and tools they got, power is only when one has it in his hands.
Mortals have no way to seek the truth, so Lu Chen pretended to be a mortal who was deceived and wanted to learn martial arts. He bought several kinds of martial arts from street stalls, but they were all scams.
His age was too old to fool people, and the sect refused to accept him. Finally, Lu Chen decided to join a small family as an outer disciple, hoping to spend money to buy contributions in exchange for a real basic skill and see what the real martial arts training was like.
Even if something really happened, he would find a door and escape back.
then--
He encountered an unknown dimension and the uncertainty of an unknown world.
Although the steward was a bit hasty when accepting him, Lu Chen did become an outer disciple, and was even given a half-worn martial arts robe that was impervious to water and fire, a pair of shoes, and a Sumire bag containing a first-level weapon.
At that time, he did not realize that every gift from fate would be secretly marked with a price.
After being asked by the steward to change into clothes and shoes, Lu Chen was taken away with other disciples to temper their bodies.
The body was indeed hardened.
They were taken to a strange fire mine and locked up together. They had to pay at least ten pieces of ore every day, otherwise they would have no food and would be beaten.
In other words, mine slaves.
Storage bags are used to store ores, weapons are used to dig ores, and clothes that are impervious to water and fire are used to make the consumable mine slaves last longer.
As for why a group of mortals were fooled, it was because once this strange fire mine sensed the presence of a warrior, the ore in the mine would disappear and only mortals could mine it.
During the mining process, every time a piece of ore was mined, there would be explosions of pyrotechnic ore. The entire mine was very unstable and explosions could occur at any time and anywhere.
The worst thing is, this is a mine and there is no door.
This meant that Lu Chen could not leave, and had to eat, drink, defecate and urinate in the mine, becoming more and more haggard day by day.
The space button was hidden under the skin, and Lu Chen had no shortage of food and drink. He also realized that although he seemed to be fully equipped, he actually forgot to bring the most important thing.
He should have prepared a sliding door!
What's even worse is that because this is an exploration of an unknown plane, and not one of the three planes that the Plane Convenience Store has already stably connected to, he cannot leave on his own when the one-month deadline is up.
Crying to the heavens and the earth for help is useless. Every day as a miner is torture. If you are not careful, you will be beaten. The living environment is shocking. What is even more terrible is that the mental anxiety can never be relieved. According to the old people in the mine, if you can survive a month in the strange fire mine, you are lucky, and if you survive three months, you will die.
It's great that I didn't die in another world.
Lu Chen changed his clothes and returned to the canteen. Looking at the young couple who were making tea unceremoniously at the tea table, he had an urge to kneel down.
Benefactor, lifesaver!
Lu Chen guessed that it was time for the young couple to come to his place to "refresh" every month, but because he was not there, the door was closed. The two of them probably couldn't wait any longer, and somehow they forced themselves to come back!
Thank God, thank God, it's so touching!
Ah Yan looked at Lu Chen's hair, which was tied up but extra fluffy. She said, "Your current hairstyle is quite unique, high on the top of the head, very good."
Lu Chen smiled bitterly, "It's enough to come back alive. Thank you."
He has no plans to open the restaurant to receive other guests until his health recovers.
At this moment, Lu Chen picked up the teacup and drank it down in one gulp, coughing continuously. There were still a lot of garbage created by himself in his space button, such as packaging bags and so on. He had to be vigilant all the time during his days as a miner, and carbohydrate drinks tasted bland to him.
Ah Yan and Zhu Jue looked at his appearance and suspected that he had been to some war-torn era. He probably had a deep psychological trauma and didn't want to recall it.
"There are no new products this month, right?" Ah Yan glanced at the counter and casually changed the subject.
"Well... there's nothing new." Lu Chen said. @無限好文，盡在晉江文學城
The productivity level of the mortal cities in the warrior plane is similar to that of the ancient plane. In order not to expose himself, he only has some daily necessities for his own use.
"As for the other goods, just take what you want," he said. Anyway, these things might not even be toys for these two people.
"That's nothing." Ah Yan thought about it.
"By the way, is this useful to you?" Lu Chen suddenly remembered that in the mine, he only paid the minimum amount every day, and sometimes he had to learn from other miners to pay not enough.
In order to cheer himself up, he dug out a lot of the exotic fire ore and stuffed it into the space button.
A red crystal the size of a fingernail appeared in the palm of Lu Chen's hand.
This seemed to be a relatively high-grade and precious ore in the Alien Fire Mine. He did not dare to ask and hid it secretly. In a month, he only found this fingernail-sized amount.
In the palm of the other hand was a large cluster of red exotic fire mineral, which looked no different from ordinary ruby.
“Here’s a gift for you.” Lu Chen stretched out his hand to hand it over.
To Ayan and Zhu Jue, one looked like a huge ruby and the other looked like a small piece the size of a fingernail.
"No, no, no, it's quite expensive. I can't afford it even if I sell myself." Ah Yan looked at it with his naked eyes.
Such a big ruby was taken out, and its origin was unclear. She now suspected that Lu Chen had entered the lair of some giant dragon in this state, because a ruby of this size would definitely not grow on the blue planet.
"I have plenty here." A pile of blood-red "gems" suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's arms.
Ah Yan and Jue Jue:......
You are hating the rich! It's not that cool!
Zhu Jue refilled his tea, and Lu Chen quickly placed the exotic fire minerals in front of them.
“Gifts from VIP customers must be accepted.”
According to Lu Chen's experience of visiting four dimensions so far, in terms of pure natural value, without considering technological factors, this thing should be the most valuable thing he can come up with, and this will be the case in the short term.
Ah Yan looked at the terrifyingly large gem mine and suddenly felt that the fingernail-sized piece was just a hair on the rich man's body.
"Then let's go with this pinchable one." She silently chose the smallest one.
I guess Lu Chen went to some place where rubies are everywhere, so this thing is worthless to him.
I really don’t dare to take anything bigger.
Ah Yan silently calculated the price of a three-carat high-purity ruby rough stone and the amount he would spend each time thereafter. He could only pay it back with long-term consumption.
Seeing that she finally accepted it, Lu Chen felt relieved.
The two of them must know each other and can use it, otherwise it would be a waste to keep something they don't know how to use in their hands. It would make them feel better if the two of them accepted it.
Ah Yan originally planned to look for a safety lock from Lu Chen, but seeing that he looked like he had been hurt and was willing to spend all his wealth, he swallowed the words.
The two of them didn't stay long before saying goodbye and continuing to head to the antique street. Lu Chen collapsed alone on the floor of the convenience store.
This journey through the dimensions made him feel like a naive and innocent person who had not experienced much of the world.
The world is too dangerous, and there are many things beyond our concept that we cannot imagine.
He had been so successful that he had no idea of his own abilities.
Everything he has is built in the plane grocery store. When he can't find the door, he loses his protective shell and is completely at the mercy of others.
Become stronger, must become stronger!
But this time I didn't get any skills at all, and there is no star power like that in that world in modern times.
etc!
Lu Chen suddenly sat up straight. Since this couple from high-level planes accepted his things, they must know each other.
Given their level, they have also been to this kind of plane, so maybe there is such an extraordinary world in the plane where they reside.
Could he trade some skills or something to improve his fighting power from them?
I don't know if it would be possible if I could find a master.
