Chapter 1 Dream Chapter Douluo Continent
Chapter 1 Dreaming of Douluo Continent
In the dim room, a seventeen-year-old girl was squatting on her gaming chair, staring at the rapidly switching screen in front of her with a flushed face and her breathing becoming extremely rapid. It was obvious that she was extremely excited.
What attracted more attention than her cute face were her two hands. One of them was typing frantically on the keyboard. If the lights were on, someone would definitely notice it. There was almost an afterimage.
Her other hand was clicking the mouse rapidly and dragging it frantically, as if it would be thrown away if she was not careful.
As the opponent with the ID 'innovation' at the top of the screen sent the two letters 'GG', followed by a word composed of Korean, if there is someone familiar with Korean here, they will definitely see that it means victory.
"Hehehe, who said that T beating Z is like a father beating his son? This Human Emperor Lu Bu is no better than that." After quitting the game, the girl glanced at the Grandmaster List and saw that her ID was at the top. She couldn't help but laugh out loud with pride.
"Life is always as lonely as snow." The girl put down her legs, changed into a comfortable posture and leaned lazily on the gaming chair behind her. She squinted her eyes slightly and stretched out a hand to take the water cup on the corner of the table.
However, the squinting girl did not hold the cup accurately, but accidentally pushed it down.
On the ground, there is a power strip and densely packed wires.
Douluo Continent, Wuhun City.
The sun had just risen halfway above the horizon, gradually dispelling the night sky of this ancient city.
The overall layout of this city is extremely distinct. The most high-end mansions are all located on Wuhun Mountain, and the buildings in the city gradually change from good to bad. Even in the first city of the continent, there are some slums on the edge of the city.
The buildings in the slums are still divided into several levels, some can barely be considered houses, while others are built with bricks - the worst of course are just a few wooden boards that can't even protect against wind and rain.
The only thing that is different is a quaint little courtyard located in the center of the slum, which stands out from the surrounding shabby houses.
In the courtyard, there was a ferocious beast with a very scary look, lying down and sleeping in its den. The strange thing was that it looked neither like a dog nor any recorded soul beast. It had a pair of transparent wings on its back, and the blades of its two front paws were flashing with terrifying light. There were two sharp fangs at the corners of its mouth, and it was panting heavily. Its whole body exuded the breath of killing and death. Even though this beast was in its sleep, its momentum was still undiminished.
In the house behind it, there was sleeping a girl who was probably only five or six years old. Although the roof of the house was full of holes and the quilt she was covering herself with was full of patches, the corners of her mouth were still inadvertently raised, and a string of crystal clear liquid flowed down the corners of her mouth, as if she was having a sweet dream.
As the sun slowly rose, illuminating every inch of Wuhun City, the girl woke up, but did not move at all. She just stared at the dazzling sunlight outside the window in a daze.
"Hey, I dreamed about my past life again. Is this a reminder for me to buy a waterproof power strip in this life?"
Sighing softly, the girl sat up and shook her head, as if trying to put all this nonsense behind her.
The girl stood up and stretched, then went to get a basin of water and dressed herself up carefully.
After combing her hair into nice short ponytails and changing into an exquisite little skirt, the girl was finally satisfied.
Well, actually she was not really a poor person, but was driven here by her "good second uncle".
The girl's name is Leng Xiyao. Her parents are elites of the Spirit Hall. Her father is a high-level Soul Sage, and her mother is a Soul Emperor. Both of them serve in the Pope's Guard and have high status. As long as her father improves his strength and becomes a Soul Douluo, he can be demoted to a local position to become a cardinal and enjoy unlimited glory.
Unfortunately, they died in the Star Dou Great Forest - in the battle to hunt a hundred thousand year soul beast for the current Pope Bibi Dong.
In this Wuhun City where strength is respected, the meaning of losing both parents is almost self-evident. So not only her parents' inheritance, but even her house was taken away by her good second uncle on the grounds that "the child does not have the ability to manage assets, so he will keep them for you." Not even a copper coin was left.
The law enforcement team of Wuhun City saw all of this, but no one would speak for a little kid. In the end, she got nothing except a place in Wuhun Academy with no barriers as compensation.
"Oh, I'm running out of food again. I have to find a way to make some money."
After skillfully making a large pot of porridge, Leng Xiyao looked at the empty rice bag and couldn't help feeling sad. If she hadn't been a reborn person with a mind far superior to her peers, she would probably have starved to death or been abducted.
But as a child, she didn't have any way to make money. Even if she went to work, no one would hire her. In addition, there was a big foodie at home, so Leng Xiyao couldn't help but feel a little nervous.
After taking out two small bowls from the shabby cabinet and filling them with porridge, Leng Xiyao grunted and carried the pot to the beast outside, poured the whole pot of porridge into its food bowl, and called out:
"Da Huang, get up and eat."
As if smelling the aroma of porridge, Dahuang slowly woke up, and without saying a word, he attacked the food bowl in front of him, really not polite at all.
Looking at the beast in front of her that had no appetite at all, Leng Xiyao's originally melancholy face finally broke into a smile. Even though her current situation was very difficult, she was very satisfied to have such a little friend to accompany her.
Well, as an internet-addicted girl, she was actually not surprised by things like time travel. After being shocked for a few days, she quickly accepted her situation - a poor girl of only three years old with nothing.
Even though she was a time traveler, she was only three years old and had no way to deal with this predicament. She could only pick up garbage to exchange for food every day, but she couldn't even fill her stomach. Every night she could only lie in an alley groaning and waiting to die.
At this moment, Da Huang appeared. Although the strength of this beast was not ranked top in the Wuhun City where there were many hidden dragons and crouching tigers, it was more than enough to dominate a slum.
But the slums are still slums after all. Even if the poor people here are willing to give her the best place, they are still unwilling to listen to the orders of a little girl who is only three or four years old. Da Huang cannot leave her to take on some tasks, which makes Leng Xiyao's plan to get rich impossible to achieve.
So, she could only find a group of children to form a gang. Fortunately, the children in the slums matured early, and they could barely make a living by picking up garbage and selling waste.
Although rhubarb can't do much and eats a lot, it is like your own servant and will do whatever you tell it to do.
Even though Leng Xiyao didn't know how Da Huang appeared or why he listened to her so much, it didn't matter. What mattered was that she was able to survive these years with the help of this companion, otherwise she would have starved to death long ago.
So no matter how much it eats, you still have to keep it, right?
"Eat slowly, there's no rush~" Recalling this, Leng Xiyao lovingly touched Dahuang's head covered with sharp shells. However, the moment her hand touched it, the shell seemed to suddenly soften and became as smooth as hair.
Leng Xiyao didn't know what the principle was, but she thought it should be Dahuang's mechanism to protect its master. If an ordinary person touched it, they would be cut by the sharp barbs covering the shell, but Leng Xiyao could hold it unscrupulously, which was truly magical.
After stroking the rhubarb for a while, Leng Xiyao returned to the kitchen, picked up the two bowls of porridge, walked to the door skillfully, sat on the bluestone at the door, put the porridge aside, as if waiting for something.
Not long after, a ragged girl appeared on the corner of the street and skipped towards her.
Looking at the girl with ragged clothes, dirty face and messy hair, Leng Xiyao shook her head helplessly.
The girl's name was Qin Menglan, and she was the only close friend she had in the past few years. When she was holding Dahuang's hand to make a living space for themselves in this slum, Qin Menglan was being abused by her parents.
Just like all melodramatic stories, Leng Xiyao came to the rescue as a hero. She had been planning to keep the poor little sister by her side after "educating" the incompetent parents, but the parents suddenly became tough and refused to let her go. So in order to avoid trouble from the law enforcement team in the name of trafficking in lolita, Leng Xiyao gave up.
From then on, Qin Menglan was like a little fan girl, following her wherever she went, and over time the two became good friends.
However, this couple never did anything excessive to Qin Menglan afterwards. At most, they didn't give her food or washing. This was certainly not abuse. It was all too normal in this slum.
Qin Menglan walked over, picked up a bowl of porridge skillfully, and started eating it in big mouthfuls. While eating, she said vaguely: "Sister Yaoyao, I heard that today is the day when the Spirit Hall gives free spirits to the poor. Should we go and try it?"
Hearing Qin Menglan's words, Leng Xiyao was very surprised: "Ah, is it today? I had forgotten about this."
To be honest, after so many years here, she almost forgot that this was Douluo Continent. As a low-level person and alone, she had no time or energy to explore anything. All her energy had to be focused on survival. As a result, she didn't care whether the main storyline had begun or what stage it had reached.
If you can’t even survive, then what’s the point of dreaming of soaring into the sky?
"Yes, yes, although this activity has no substantial significance, the senior executives just like to do this kind of thing~" Qin Menglan ate the porridge in big mouthfuls, but did not forget to explain to Leng Xiyao.
"Tsk." Leng Xiyao picked up her bowl of porridge, looked at the clear sky, and said sympathetically: "I have an appointment with Old Wang in the east of the city today to discuss the transaction of our more than 30 kilograms of waste paper and shell stocks. It seems that I can't go today."
However, thinking that it usually takes a gold soul coin to open a martial soul, but today it can be done for free, Leng Xiyao remained silent. In the past three years, she had never even seen a gold coin, and the most she had in her savings was just two silver coins. Moreover, this small amount of savings was not even saved for a day before she bought a bunch of snacks and shared them with the group of homeless children under her.
"Oh, Sister Yaoyao, if we can become soul masters, why would we still have to negotiate business with Old Wang? It would be much better to just rob his scrap yard!" Qin Menglan spoke in a domineering tone, but the words she said were very cowardly.
Leng Xiyao couldn't help but be amused by her useless appearance. She pinched her dirty little face and said with a smile, "Look at your useless appearance. Eat quickly."
"Oh, okay, Sister Yaoyao!"
After the two finished breakfast, Leng Xiyao had to pull Qin Menglan into the yard to help her wash up, and then changed her into a pretty little dress. Soon, a cute little beauty who looked like a newborn appeared in front of her.
I have to say that the environment in this slum is so dirty and messy that it is beyond description. Even though Qin Menglan has been cleaned up now, she will definitely return to the appearance of a little beggar in less than a day.
At this time, Dahuang was lying in its nest and sleeping again. When it was full, it slept, and when it was full, it ate. Sometimes Leng Xiyao really suspected that she was raising a pig instead of a dog.
After changing her clothes, Qin Menglan came out and saw Da Huang. She walked up to him skillfully and touched his head. She asked Leng Xiyao puzzledly, "Why is Da Huang sleeping again? Come to think of it, I haven't seen him awake for a long time."
".Actually, I haven't seen it either, but this is a good thing. At least it will be more low-key. If the law enforcement team comes to visit, it will always be a troublesome matter."
Leng Xiyao shrugged helplessly, but she had long been accustomed to it. Since settling down here, Da Huang had never gone out for a stroll again. However, the terrifying aura on his body had always shrouded the surroundings of this small courtyard, and no one was so blind as to dare to cause trouble.
After saying that, Leng Xiyao took Qin Menglan's hand and walked out together. She was also a little impatient to open her martial spirit: "Let's go. We are still quite far from the Spirit Hall. If we don't leave early, we may miss it."
Qin Menglan nodded obediently: "Okay, Sister Yaoyao."
Da Huang, who was originally lying in his nest, suddenly opened his eyes, looked at the backs of the two little girls going away, shook his head in a very human way, and it was unknown what he was sighing about. Then he lay back in his nest and began to sleep.
