Because of the condition of his right leg, Lin Shao had to rest for a long time every time he exerted force. He didn't dare to exert too much force. In the past, when his leg hurt badly on cloudy and rainy days, he couldn't walk and had to sit in a wheelchair for a period of time. Although it was better now, it would still hurt after a long time.
Today, other than the one in the morning, no other guests came in. After Lin Shao abandoned the wardrobe, the moving process sped up a lot.
In the afternoon, he carefully invited his grandfather's memorial tablet to his new home. By this evening, most of the things had been moved away. He estimated that today would be the last night he would sleep here. Everything would be finished by tomorrow afternoon.
Lin Shao was tired from the day. At night, he fell asleep as soon as his head hit the pillow. He fell asleep with a little reluctance to part with the house he had lived in for more than 20 years and a longing for a new house. As for this morning's insignificant episode, he completely put it to the back of his mind and didn't care about it.
In the middle of the night, the ugly stone bracelet that he had forgotten about on the bedside table began to emit a familiar silver light after he fell asleep. The silver light was not dazzling, but soft and not bright. If it were not for the darkness, he might not have noticed it. But this time, the silver light did not disappear in a flash. Instead, it lasted for more than ten minutes before it gradually dimmed.
At this time, Lin Shao was sleeping. In his dream, he was running very fast. When he ran, the wind brought about by him blew down the building. In his dream, he was worrying about how to pay for the building when suddenly, a voice appeared in his mind.
"Suitable host detected. Compatibility is 100%. Host binding …"
This voice couldn't be distinguished between a man and a woman. The tone wasn't loud, so it didn't feel abrupt. Lin Shao wasn't startled awake. In his dream, he looked around logically, trying to find the source of the voice.
After a while, the voice sounded again.
First, there was a "ding" sound, followed by a prompt. "The installation package has been downloaded. Please confirm the installation within 10 seconds. If the system does not receive a response within 10 seconds, the installation will be accepted by default."
Lin Shao still didn't wake up. He didn't care about whether the installation was accepted or not.
In his dream, he sat on the side of the road and looked up at the sky in confusion. Then, he listened to the voice counting down slowly, "… Five, four, three, two, one.
The installation of the binding program has begun and is estimated to be completed within 12 hours. Please do not forcibly stop the program during this period, otherwise it may cause irreversible damage to the host.
Finally, I wish you a pleasant cooperation with this system. "
Then, the strange mechanical voice that was neither male nor female disappeared and never sounded again.
When Lin Shao woke up in the morning, he completely forgot about the dream he had last night. He had always been like this, unable to remember dreams.
Then, he repeated what he had done the day before. In the morning, the relocation went smoothly, but in the afternoon, it began to rain heavily.
He was only left with sheets, clothes, and a recliner. He was not in a hurry to move these things.
If the sheets and clothes got wet while moving in the rain, it would be troublesome. Moreover, this alley was very long, and there was no place to cover the top of the head. There was no shelter for the workers to move in the rain.
This rain could be called a rainstorm. It hurt when the bean-sized raindrops hit people. Moving at this time was really difficult. Lin Shao finished his lunch early and lay on the recliner. He covered himself with a blanket and planned to take an afternoon nap.
After a nap, the rain should stop. He thought that he would wait until he woke up to talk about the rest.
It was still early, not even twelve o 'clock. During this period of moving, Lin Shao got tired easily. He always fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, even though the recliner was not very comfortable.
He gently grabbed the blanket with his right hand and adjusted it a little. Then, he lay on his side and fell asleep in a daze.
However, he didn't sleep for long before he was woken up by a "ding" sound. When he heard the sound, he thought it was a message notification from his phone. He sat up and took out his phone from his pocket, but there was no message notification.
Lin Shao rubbed his temples and yawned. He felt that it was a little strange. He looked around and found that there was nothing out of the ordinary.
The rain was still falling outside. The pitter-patter had a hypnotic effect.
He wanted to go back to sleep.
At this moment, the voice sounded again. This time, it was very clear, and it was a very long sentence.
"The system has been completely installed. The first newbie mission has been refreshed.
The following is the mission content … "
Lin Tuo almost jumped up. The voice seemed to have come directly from his mind. He didn't pay attention to the rest of the words. He directly picked up the long pole umbrella on the side and said warily, "Who is it?
Come out!
What the hell? "
Then, he heard an emotionless mechanical voice. "Mission requirements met. Teleportation will begin in ten seconds."
Lin Shao was nervous and extremely confused. However, he did not have time to think too much. His vision suddenly blurred and then he lost consciousness.
The pitter-patter of rain outside did not seem to stop. After a while, Lin Shao squinted his eyes. He felt a little dizzy. His mind was like a pile of paste. He had just woken up when he vaguely thought, "What am I doing?"
Oh, he was sleeping. After the rain stopped, he would move his things.
Sleep, sleep … But he did not sleep well.
He recalled and recalled. Suddenly, he seemed to have remembered something. His whole person instantly woke up.
Right!
That strange voice said something about teleportation. Then, he lost consciousness.
When he woke up again, he was no longer in his old house.
Lin Shao looked at his surroundings. He was a little flustered, but he forced himself to calm down.
This was a completely unfamiliar place. He was in a cave, but this cave was not deep. He looked carefully and reached out to touch it. Next to him, he felt something hard. It should be stone.
This cave should be a hole in the stone wall. There was nothing inside, just some dried leaves. Lin Shao stuck his head out of the cave to take a look. Then, he immediately shrank back.
It was also raining, and the rain was very heavy. It was even a little irritable. It felt like the heavens were throwing a tantrum. The weather was very gloomy and the light was very dim.
It was like a forest outside, and all he could see were trees. They were all very tall and dense, and they were all very tall trees. They were rustling in the wind, and it was a little scary in a situation where there was not enough light. The storm was accompanied by strong winds, and he would get wet if he went even a little bit outside. This was also under the situation where the cave was located against the wind, and the canopy could only curl up in the innermost part of the cave. Even so, when the wind was a little stronger, he could clearly feel the raindrops being blown into the cave and fiercely hitting his face.
What the hell is this place?
How did I get here?
Lin Shao's heart was full of shock.
He tried to call out a few times to see if anyone was there. Of course, he did not get any response.
He hugged himself, trying to give himself some sense of security. Because of this action, his hands overlapped. Lin Shao suddenly felt something strange on his left wrist. It was scraping the ground and his right arm was a little painful.
He looked down and saw something he would never have thought of.
The ugly stone bracelet he found yesterday was quietly on his wrist. Because the surface of the bracelet wasn't smooth, there were some bumps and scratches on it, so it wasn't comfortable to wear on his wrist. Previously, he was only focused on looking at his surroundings, so he didn't notice anything unusual about his body. But now that he saw it, he felt even more strange.
The bracelet was a little small and did not have any seams. Logically speaking, he should not be able to wear it because a person's palm was bigger than their wrist. Even if he wore it, it was impossible for him not to feel anything.
The bracelet was now on his wrist, leaving only a small gap. Lin Shao stared at it for a long time. He reached out to take the ugly bracelet off, but when his right hand touched it, the voice in his mind suddenly sounded again.
"Opening the system interface …"
Lin Shao was shocked again. He did not do anything for the past two days. He was just scared, but it did not take long for his attention to be attracted by the thing in front of him.
It was a screen floating in the void. There were two squares in the middle of the screen. One of them had the words "Current Mission" and the other had the words "Storage Space". At the top right, there was a small "Exit" button.
In addition, there was a small line of words below that said "More functions will be unlocked as the mission progresses. Please look forward to it."
Lin Shao was stunned for a while. His mind was a little stuck. He felt that this scene was very absurd. He even wondered if he was in a dream.
But the screen did not disappear. Lin Shao was in a deadlock with it for a long time. In the end, he tentatively poked the "Current Mission". The system was quite agile. It changed to the next interface without any lag.
At the top of the next interface was a line of words: Current Mission Summary.
But there was only one line below it. On it was a name: Novice Mission 1.
When Lin Shao saw this, he might as well go all the way. He wanted to see what this thing was. He gathered his courage and clicked on the only mission. Then, a new box popped up.
This Novice Mission 1 box was divided into three horizontal bars. Lin Shao looked down.
"Mountain Zhaoyao is raining heavily.
This is not good weather, especially for the aborigines on the mountain.
This kind of bad weather is very likely to cause some unexpected accidents. At the same time, there will be pitiful little creatures in distress waiting for your help. "
This place is called Mountain Zhaoyao?
What are the aborigines?
This small line of words was the mission introduction, but Lin Tuo couldn't understand it. A lot of messy questions popped up in his mind. He stared at the words "little creature" in the line for a long time and thought to himself, Why is the word "creature" used?
Could it be that the so-called thing waiting for my help is not a human? "
He did not know if it was because of the wind or because of fear. Lin Shao shivered and continued to read.
The remaining two sections were the mission requirements and the mission rewards.
The mission requirements said, "Please prepare something to block the rain and keep warm. Please lend a helping hand in time."
As for the rest of the mission rewards, they were even stranger.
