I am the one running the game

Chapter 666: The Beginning of a New World, Destiny's Child: Damaged (Curse)
Lu Xingshi expected it to be simple, but he didn't expect it to be this simple.

[Identity: Blacksmith]

"I am just a blacksmith, how can I put it..."

Seeing this, Lu Xingshi was quite speechless and immediately spent gold coins to start making changes.

In an instant, numerous identities emerged.

The status of blacksmith was not the worst. Below it were other identities such as prisoners, slaves, and death warriors, which had no freedom at all and were even life-threatening.

“Is this the ancient world or the modern world?”

He was a little confused by the identities, but the good news was that the world seemed to be fine. At least it was not like the fairy world of the past, which was made restless by the five turbidities and evil times.

"There are ministers, noble families, and the royal family. It should be more like the ancient times..."

"Hey, can I choose this thing?"

Lu Xingshi discovered a special identity that looked very strange.

[Identity: Destiny's Child·Cursed]

It's both disabled and cursed, and it's obvious that there's something wrong with it.

This identity should be the protagonist, but it is incomplete and cursed, which makes Lu Xingshi extremely puzzled.

As a protagonist, even if he didn't pretend to be cool and get slapped in the face all the way to make a comeback, he wouldn't end up like this.

In terms of value, it is the highest identity among all current identities.

One hundred billion gold coins, no bargaining.

For the rest, the range is probably between 10 million and 50 billion.

"It's just a test anyway. I'll wait for the 100 billion." Lu Xingshi changed his identity directly.

Then the game character was generated, and he followed him into the new world.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he arrived.

A lot of memories came to mind.

He is an orphan living in the slums, which makes sense, otherwise why would he be the protagonist.

Then came a series of memories of hard struggle for survival. Anyway, it was not easy to live to this age when starting out as an orphan.

This is the Dalin Dynasty, where the empress has been on the throne for ten thousand years. There are demons causing trouble outside and noble families inside, so the people at the bottom of society have a very hard life. It is really not easy for an orphan like Lu Xingshi to survive to adulthood.

They were either kidnapped and sold, or oppressed to death.

The reason why the Dali Dynasty still exists and has not been overthrown is because this world has extraordinary power. Everyone can obtain the favor of heaven and earth when they reach adulthood and switch to their own profession.

This favor from heaven and earth was originally intended to resist the invasion of demons.

The alien demons are powerful monsters from another world, and they have been entangled with the Dali Dynasty for more than ten thousand years. Under the leadership of the wise and powerful empress, a peace treaty was signed with the alien demons. Of course, Lu Xingshi had no idea what the truth was.

Anyway, judging from what I remember, it is impossible for him to be wise and powerful.

If this favor from heaven and earth was not obtained spontaneously, it would be absolutely impossible for the lower class people to obtain it.

If this blessing from heaven and earth were placed in a modern society, it would definitely become a world similar to that of universal job change. Unfortunately, the Dali Dynasty was a feudal society with an extremely strict class structure, and birth determined everything.

A peasant will be a peasant all his life, while the wealthy and powerful families, royal families and nobles are high above them.

This is not just a chain of contempt, it is also a structure of exploitation and power.

Therefore, Lu Xingshi could see that there were many assassins and slaves among the people.

"It's all bad news, not a single good news." Lu Xingshi's current job is as a porter at the dock, and he can't do anything else.

Because he is a peasant and can't do anything that can make money.

More importantly, he successfully changed his job to become a spiritual treasure master three minutes ago.

The profession of spiritual treasure master is not uncommon in the Dali Dynasty, but there are two extremes.

The higher the status, the stronger the spiritual treasure master will be, because he can obtain more resources to refine spiritual treasures.

As a spiritual treasure master, everyone can possess a natal spiritual treasure, which can be cultivated bit by bit and eventually possess powerful power.

A spiritual treasure master with an outstanding spiritual treasure will be raised and helped to improve the spiritual treasure. When the spiritual treasure grows up, there is only one outcome, that is, being killed and the spiritual treasure taken away, becoming the equipment of a professional with an outstanding status.

The spiritual treasure masters of wealthy families will also be taken away, but it will not be so blatant and there will be compensation.

Compared to other professions, a spiritual treasure master cannot wear any equipment or learn any skills, and has no way to increase his level by killing demons. He can only improve his own strength by upgrading his spiritual treasures.

This means that spiritual treasures are very important. If a spiritual treasure is born extraordinary and has a good origin, then the spiritual treasure master will be a strong person.

Unfortunately, Lu Xingshi had neither of them.

He opened his career panel and could feel the suffocating despair.

[Name: ***] [Occupation: Spiritual Treasure Master]

【Level: 1】

[Birthday Spiritual Treasure: Dew Pearl]

[Dew condensation: Dew drops can condense water vapor in the air to form dew in a humid environment, such as in the early morning or at night]

Lu Xingshi took out the dew bead, which was a small transparent bead with a dew-like luster on the surface, and it seemed that water would drip at any time.

As far as I remember, the amount of dew formed by dew drops is very limited, just enough for some simple daily use, and the condensation process takes a certain amount of time, so it cannot quickly provide a large amount of water.

How to put it, the ability of dew drops is very straightforward, which is to condense dew, and it can only happen in a humid environment, and the condensed water droplets are relatively limited.

As for some fancy operations, such as condensing fairy dew or divine dew, it should be possible to do it through subsequent refining with a large amount of natural treasures.

But now, it just turns the water vapor in the air into dew, let alone spiritual energy or something like that, it can't be mobilized at all.

Moreover, this ability is an active skill, which can only take effect when Lu Xingshi uses dew beads to condense dew.

"Damn it, I don't have to start over again." Lu Xingshi was sure that he could change his profession by changing the game character.

He did not discriminate against the spiritual treasure master, but he should at least give him a better spiritual treasure.

However, it was precisely because the dewdrop was too useless that it was not taken away by anyone. You have to know that he was in a slum where there were no good people. Every one of them had to turn himself into a bad person in order to survive, otherwise he would die in the stinking ditch one day.

Lu Xingshi can be sure that the current suffocating environment was caused by the failure of the former protagonist to fight against the disasters of this world.

"Maybe my identity can be used to do something?" Lu Xingshi thought of his identity as the son of destiny worth hundreds of billions of gold coins, even if he was disabled or cursed.

Who knows if he could turn things around.

"The Spiritual Treasure Master and Dew Pearl must be closely related to this identity."

Every time Lu Xingshi started the game, even if it was random, he would never encounter this kind of useless person, but this time after he chose this identity, it led to such a difficult start.

"The house is bare..." Lu Xingshi looked around and couldn't help but sigh.

Apart from the four walls, there was a bed filled with thatch and a thin quilt. He was wearing a long linen shirt and had no shoes on his feet.

As a slum dweller, you are not allowed to wear shoes, and even your clothing, housing, and food are subject to strict regulations. For example, you can only wear linen clothes, live in mud houses, are not allowed to eat meat, and can only eat vegetables at specific times, provided that you can afford them.

The staple food is difficult to swallow and tastes bad. They have to work hard while barely maintaining their vital signs.

Once the government finds out that you have violated the rules, you will be hanged.

It's not that there weren't any rebellions, but they were all crushed. When a high-level professional from an aristocratic family could kill a large number of poor professionals at level 1 alone, numbers were no longer the deciding factor.

As for upgrading, it's a nice idea, but the way to upgrade is monopolized by the Daliang Dynasty, and most people will only be level 1 throughout their lives.

If you want to improve your strength, what you look at is never your career potential or your own ability, but your background. Without background, everything is useless.

“The home that I can see the end of is exactly the same as the future that I can see the end of.”

Lu Xingshi felt quite helpless. It was so difficult for normal professionals to improve themselves, let alone Lu Xingshi, a spiritual treasure master.

Other professions at least have the opportunity to improve their career growth by killing demons, but he can't. He doesn't even have an experience bar, attribute bar, skill bar, equipment bar, etc. He can only rely on improving spiritual treasures.

"But there seems to be a bug somewhere, for example, if I provide the materials myself to refine the spiritual treasure?"

Lu Xingshi suddenly thought of this matter, but the problem now was that he could not get the materials because the data was expired and so on, and he had no way to take anything from the warehouse for the time being.

So he is now struggling with the question of whether to start over and directly choose the identity of a royal noble to begin with.

Without saying too much, even if you are not treated well, it is still better than being a mud-legged peasant in the slums now.

He sat down on his thatched bed and felt something hard hit his butt.

"No, you filled it with straw, and didn't even take out the stones? Don't you find it uncomfortable when you sleep at night?"

He reached into the thatch and groped around, and soon found the stone that had hit him.

"Okay, okay, this is how you want to start the game." Lu Xingshi looked at the colorful stones in his hand and felt that this one should be a sure win.

[The core of the world: the only one]

【Quality: Highest】

[Effect: Open the career evolution talent tree after use]

"I was wondering how the protagonist could get no treatment." Lu Xingshi absorbed the protagonist's golden finger without hesitation.

As for why the predecessor didn't find it? It's very simple. Before he was blessed by heaven and earth to become a professional, how could he know without the corresponding panel?

He picked up this beautiful stone and secretly hid it in his thatched bed. According to the regulations of the Dalai Dynasty, he was not allowed to possess such beautiful things. If he was caught, he would be hanged.

"What a broken world! I'll give you all this." Lu Xingshi felt that the future was promising.
