Chapter 1 Curiosity Killed the Cat

Wei Ci sat on the hard bed, touching the musty bedding, feeling a little confused.

He has been awake for a while.

To be precise, I have traveled to this world for a while.

Bar...all night long...playing a group game to get points...Wei Ci clearly remembered that a few minutes ago he had been drinking with his college roommate and stayed all night in the Internet cafe.

But everything he saw in front of him, as well as the inexplicably extra chaotic memories in his mind, told him that this was clearly another world different from the earth.

Thinking about himself recently, there has been no car accident, no terminal cancer, no swearing and being struck by lightning, and no encounter with a strange old man. If anything, he still owes a few hundred dollars to his rich second-generation roommate.

And the wives who have more than 1 ton on the computer have not finished browsing.

He just stayed up all night, who is going to tell him what the hell is going on in this time travel?

Wei Ci is at a loss for words.

Digging into his trouser pocket, he habitually wanted to take out his mobile phone to check for a while, but found it lonely. Only then did Wei Ci suddenly realize that he had already traveled through time, so how could he still have a mobile phone!

He rubbed his head and sorted out the messy memories in his mind.

After a long time, Wei Ci came back to his senses from the state of memories.

This is not the earth, but the Tianyuan Continent. The original owner is also named Wei Ci. He is 17 years old. His father Wei Tianxing was once a strong man, but he disappeared when he was very young. As for his mother, he has no memory at all.

You have to think about what to do next!

With a soft breath, Wei Ci stood up and rummaged under the bed. Thanks to those memories, Wei Ci was very familiar with everything in the room.

Not long after, an animal skin bag hidden in the groove of the bed board was dug out. It was the only valuable thing in the whole room, and it was also the thing left to Wei Ci by his father Wei Tianxing.

He sat back on the bed and poured the contents of the bag onto the bed. Several items scattered out:

A silver-gray storage ring, a sheathed dagger, and 5 irregular stones.

Picking up the storage ring, Wei Ci noticed a weak connection between himself and the ring. Unfortunately, his mental power was too weak and he had never opened it until now.

The scabbard was very ordinary. When he pulled out the blade, he noticed that there were a few lines carved on the back of the knife, and the blade was extremely sharp. Other than that, there was nothing special about it. Wei Ci put the dagger back into the sheath, and then looked at the five irregular pieces.

of stones.

Just looking at the appearance, it was crystal clear with a hint of silvery white on the surface, much like the jadeite on earth. However, he knew that this was not a jadeite, but a rare and precious primeval stone, and it was of the highest quality.

Picking up one of the pieces and holding it in his hand, Wei Ci was about to study it when something strange came from the depths of his eyebrows. It seemed to hurt but not to itch, but it was fleeting.

Immediately afterwards, a strange but familiar line of text suddenly appeared in his mind:

[Energy: 1000]

What? Wei Ci looked confused.

These were obviously not Chinese characters, but characters from this continent. Fortunately, he could understand the meaning.

Thinking back to just now, this strange line of numbers only appeared after he took hold of the Yuan Stone.

He let go of his hand and let the Yuan Stone fall on the bed. Sure enough, the numbers in his mind disappeared. And when he held the Yuan Stone again, the numbers appeared again:

[Energy: 1000]

However, what is different from before is that this time there is no strangeness between the eyebrows, as if it was just an illusion before.

Wei Ci tried it out in exchange for the other four Yuan Stones. Just as he expected, words would appear in his mind after buying each Yuan Stone. The difference was that after buying one of the Yuan Stones, the number was different.

5 pieces of Yuan Stone, 4 of which correspond to the number 1000, and the remaining 1 piece corresponds to the number 980. Wei Ci carefully observed that the volume of the Yuan Stone corresponding to the number [980] seems to be slightly larger.

Smaller.

This gave him a bold guess: the numbers may represent the "value" of the few primeval stones in his hand, or the "energy" contained in them.

In addition, Wei Ci noticed that when the numbers appeared, the background seemed to be a golden book page.

After thinking for a while, he asked tentatively: "System?"

No response.

"use!"

Still no response.

"exchange?"

"Transformation!"

"absorb!"



"Transform!"

"Hurry as the law dictates!"

"Balala energy?"

After trying a bunch of commands in succession, there was still no response, and Wei Ci was speechless.

Could this strange golden page in my mind only be used to identify value or energy value?

He suddenly remembered the reaction deep in his eyebrows when the words first appeared. Maybe they were not spoken, but controlled with thoughts? Wei Ci's eyes lit up, and he tried to imagine the commands he had just spoken in his mind.

When thinking about "absorbing"...

"Um?"

There was a slight vibration in my hand, and I finally reacted!

Wei Ci opened his palms with a look of surprise on his face, only to see that the original crystal clear Yuan Stone had now become dull and covered with fine cracks, like burnt quicklime.

Gently hold it, and with bursts of "clicking" sounds, fine stone chips fall from your fingers.

At the same time, there was a throbbing deep in the middle of his eyebrows, and an illusory dark golden page slowly appeared in Wei Ci's mind.

On the page of the book, there is a complex pattern engraved, which looks like words, but seems different.

Focusing his attention, he "saw" that the page was a little thick. Or, it should be the cover of a book, because he could vaguely see it from the edge of the page, and there were several overlapping pages below, which were just long and wide.

Slightly narrower than the cover.

A golden book?

Wei Ci could feel that there seemed to be some kind of connection between Jin Shu and himself, and he even had the illusion that it was part of his body.

"What exactly is it?"

Wei Ci sat motionless by the bed, his consciousness lost in thought.

He can't figure out whether something is good or bad, and random attempts may lead to unpredictable disasters. His desire to survive is still very strong.

But what if the "book" that appears in my mind is related to my time travel? If I figure it out, I might be able to find a way to go back. Moreover, wouldn't it be wonderful if I could gain some magical or ghostly abilities?

Thoughts flashed through Wei Ci's mind one after another, and curiosity and vigilance battled wildly.

After a long time, his eyes became firm.

Curiosity killed the cat, so be it.

With that trace of connection, he tentatively imagined in his mind: "Open!"

The moment this idea appeared, light appeared on the dark golden book, and an ancient and vast aura emerged from the book. Then, the cover slowly opened.

Guessed it!

In the center of the title page of the golden book, a line of bright golden text appeared:

【1000】

"These 1,000 points of energy should be obtained by absorbing the Yuan Stone earlier." After being surprised, Wei Ci guessed.

But, how to use it? What will happen next?

Wei Ci carefully read the title page up and down. After confirming that there was no other content, he imagined in his mind:

"Flip the book!"

No response.

"Next page!"

As this idea appeared in my mind, the golden book glowed brightly, and the second page opened.

The moment the page opened and closed, Wei Ci noticed that the page had a certain thickness, and as for the material, he couldn't tell for the moment.
