Chapter 001 The original man of tragedy
The morning sun shines through the dense tree canopy and sprinkles bits of gold on the clearings in the forest, making the road that has just been sprinkled with water like a painting, as bright as the stars in the night sky. The colorful birds are jumping on the branches, chirping, calling friends to their companions, and celebrating the beginning of another day.
Wuji picked up the towel in his hand, wiped the spotless wooden table again, then took a step back, looked at it with satisfaction, then took out a few large pottery bowls from the basket behind him, placed them neatly on the table, and turned around to move the large wooden barrels on the cart.
The barrel was filled with half a bucket of amber tea, which looked very heavy. Wuji squatted down, held the barrel with both hands, took a deep breath, and then barely carried the barrel away from the cart, and then walked towards the table shakingly.
Just a few steps away, Wuji's face turned red and panting. Looking at the table close to him, he could not put the wooden barrel on it. He couldn't help but regret it. He had to grit his teeth and prepare to put the wooden barrel back on the car.
"Wuji, don't move." A loud voice came. Before he finished speaking, a strong boy ran away. He took the shaking wooden barrel in Wuji's hand with one hand and placed it easily on the table. With a "bang", the table shook, and the pottery bowl trembled twice, almost falling to the ground.
Wuji quickly took it, put it back to his original position, picked up a towel and wiped the table, complaining: "Stinky fish, be gentle, I finally put it neatly."
The young man was named Du Yu, one year older than Wuji. He is Wuji's good friend and has always regarded himself as his brother. After hearing Wuji's complaints, he laughed. "Wuji, you are really a dog biting Lu Dongbin and don't know the hearts of good people. I'll help you, but you don't thank me, but blame me instead."
"Nonsense, you are a dog." Wuji rolled his eyes: "I am just a real person, but I don't have the blessing to bite you, Lu Dongbin."
Du Yu knew that he had made up his words, hugged Wuji's shoulders and shook them hard. "Okay, I didn't mean to stimulate you, don't be angry."
Wuji pushed Du Yu's hand away and laughed: "I'm not angry. What's wrong with being a original person? You don't have to go to the battlefield to fight to the death. You can live a hundred years and live to the end..."
Du Yu didn't say anything, smiled foolishly, picked up the water scoop, scooped up the tea, and poured it carefully into the pottery bowl.
Wuji said a few more words, and when he saw Du Yu just laughing, he felt bored and closed his mouth. He snatched the water scoop from Du Yu's hand and added the tea from each pottery bowl to the same position. Then he nodded with satisfaction.
"Wuji, you are the most serious in your work. No wonder my father asked me to learn more from you. Even if you sell tea, you can be the best tea doctor in the future."
Wuji didn't say anything, but his expression was a little lonely.
Unexpectedly, my dignified PhD in genetic engineering can only be a tea doctor. The only thing I blamed was that self-righteous girl who took the risk and shot me for a specious environmental concept.
A soul that was unwilling to come to the Qin Empire was full of genetically mutated mutants. It was a paradise where I could show off my strength. Unexpectedly, it was a rare unlucky guy with zero deformation ability.
The Great Qin Empire empire was a martial arts trend, and there is a common saying that is known to everyone by women and children that can best illustrate the problem: the major affairs of a country are only sacrifices and military affairs. Except for sacrifices and wars, other things are trivial matters. The Great Qin Empire puts military merit first, and joining the army and fighting is the only way out for ordinary people.
Becoming a warrior is the dream of every young man. However, if you want to become a warrior, you have one of the most basic requirements: powerful deformation ability.
Almost all the subjects of the Qin Empire had the ability to transform. Their destiny depends on what they could become, whether they were powerful birds of prey or ordinary animals. Only those with combat-type transformation ability could join the army, fight on the cruel battlefield and make contributions, and change their own destiny.
People with average transformation ability or ordinary transformation ability can only be ordinary people, bear heavy labor, and even sell themselves as slaves, becoming the playthings of the powerful.
His good friend, Du Yu, the silly young man in front of him, is a dog life with dog-type deformation ability. He has the unique keen sense of smell and tracking ability of dog-type animals. Although his combat power is not very strong, he can join the army and be a scout.
But Wujikong has profound genetic knowledge, but he can only spend his life as an ordinary person.
Because his deformation ability is zero.
In the Great Qin Empire, people like Wuji have a special name: Original Man. Although they are not apes, their meanings are similar, and they are all inferior creatures with incomplete evolution.
The Qin Empire stipulated that no matter whether men and women, they undergo the first test of awakening at the age of twelve, and the final test at the age of 15, they shall be selected into the army based on whether they can become soldiers, and those who pass the exam will be specially trained, and those who fail will be enrolled in another book. Local officials will be arranged for occupations - whether they are a farmer, a craftsman, or a slave, they cannot be independent.
Wuji is fourteen years old this year and will undergo the final test next year. However, he no longer reports hope.
A normal person will have corresponding abilities at the latest age of twelve. The only difference is the strength and weakness. He failed the awakening test two years ago, and he has not found any signs of awakening of supernatural powers so far. He is almost certainly a real person.
According to the customs of the Qin Empire, the original man was not a real person, almost equivalent to an animal who could not speak, and could only live at the bottom of society, swallowing his anger and asking for everything.
But Wuji is not a person who is willing to suffer grievances. He also likes to play pranks and teases Zhao Hu, the son of village chief Zhao Dahai, many times. At that time, he didn't know that he would be a real person, but now he knows, but it's too late to regret it.
Zhao Hu is a tiger's life, an absolute beast system. The last time the tiger system transformed in the village was more than a hundred years ago. The man finally became the commander. He was the pride of the village and the hero in the minds of the young people. This remote town was also renamed Wohu Town.
Zhao Hu's future is bright, so of course he has to take revenge. He has already made a sound. Once he passes the final test and joins the army, he will take Wuji as his attendant.
The attendant is a slave, and life and death are from people. It can be imagined that Wuji really wants to be Zhao Hu's attendant, which is like a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and death is not alive.
Wuji's future is dark, and the remaining days can be counted backwards.
Du Yu knew this very well. In order to protect Wuji, his relationship with Zhao Hu was not very harmonious. However, after the test, he joined the army, and he was more willing but less capable. Zhao Hu, who was of strict rank in the army and had the ability to transform the tiger, would be easy for him to take his life.
Today is the day when he and Zhao Hu participated in the final test together.
"Wuji, what are you going to do?" Du Yu looked at the increasingly clear domineering figure at the end of the road and said worriedly: "Zhao Hu passed the test and will definitely come to cause trouble for you."
"Then you have to wait until he passes the test." Wuji suddenly laughed, squeezed his eyes, looked at Zhao Hu, who was walking in the distance, surrounded by a group of little brothers, and pushed Du Yu. "Okay, you can go quickly, I can't help here anyway."
"I won't leave." Du Yu said firmly: "If I escape because I am afraid of Zhao Hu, how can I become a real warrior in the future?"
Wuji knew that Du Yu wanted to protect himself, so he couldn't help but feel warm in his heart, but he tilted his mouth and smiled sinisterly. "Don't worry, just relying on that little scaly cat, I can't kill me. Test? Hehe, I'll let him test him to death. Go away quickly, don't get in my way."
Du Yu looked at Wuji with helplessness and quickly left. He did not point out Wuji's words, in his opinion, this was just Wuji's vanity. He couldn't think of any way Wuji could deal with Zhao Hu.
Destiny was basically decided when they were twelve years old when they were supernatural awakening tests.
