The world begins with refining skills

Chapter 1 New arrival
1969, Jiangliao Province, Jichun City, Guangzi Piece, Zhou Family.

In the middle of the night, Mu Sheng woke up suddenly.

I opened my eyes and saw darkness all around. There was no light at all, just darkness.

Mu Sheng knew that this was for the purpose of keeping out the cold and keeping warm, so every household sealed their windows tightly, leaving no gap at all.

As a result, even the light from outside could not penetrate.

After tossing and turning for a while, Mu Sheng's mood finally calmed down.

Although it had been a few days since he traveled through time, he still couldn't believe that he had traveled through time like this.

The room was very quiet, except for two unfamiliar breathing sounds and the occasional sound of Mu Sheng moving.

'What time is it now?'

A random thought emerged in Mu Sheng's mind, and he subconsciously touched the pillow, but he did not touch his cell phone, but the cold edge of the kang.

'I forgot again that this is no longer my original world.'

Mu Sheng angrily withdrew his hand back into the warm quilt.

"It's probably not time to get up yet, and I haven't heard the rooster crow yet."

"Are there any roosters around? I haven't noticed them in the past few days."

Several chaotic thoughts arose again.

Mu Sheng knew that he should continue sleeping, otherwise he would feel sleepy again during the day. However, the random thoughts that popped up in his mind from time to time prevented him from falling asleep peacefully.

It has been three days since he traveled to this world, but Mu Sheng still hasn't figured out how he got there.

I only remember that I was sleeping comfortably in my doghouse the night before, and when I woke up the next morning, I found myself in the snowy Jiangliao Province.

If it were in ancient times, this would be considered exile, right?
o (╥﹏╥) o
Fortunately, the golden finger that comes standard with time travelers allowed Mu Sheng to feel a sense of warmth and support in this strange and cold world.

The golden finger is a thing called refining panel, and its function is very simple, which is refining.

Host: Mu Sheng

Refining progress: Ba Duan Jin 3%
Completed refining:
World: The human world
The panel interface is very simple, with only four lines of information and a blank background everywhere else.

Although it is called the refining panel, currently only skills can be refined. Through refining, Mu Sheng can improve his control over a certain skill.

"Isn't this just like hanging up the computer while playing games?"

'So, why not call it an AFK panel?'

In addition to the refining function, the panel also has a spherical refining space with a diameter of one meter, but no other functions besides storage have been discovered yet.

In addition to the refining function, the most important thing is the information in the world column.

At the bottom of the name of the current plot world, there is an energy progress bar. When it is full, you can travel to the next world.

As for how to accumulate energy, it is also very simple. Just change the plot of the current world.

For an old bookworm, this setting is not new.

Moreover, given Mu Sheng's current identity as a time traveler, it is very easy for him to change the plot.

After all, his current identity is the protagonist of the story, Zhou Bingkun.

An honest and unlucky man who lacked love in his childhood, took over in his youth, went to jail in his middle age, and lost his son in his old age.

I don’t know why these directors and screenwriters are so malicious towards honest people.

Did the honest person provoke you?
Fortunately, Mu Sheng is here now, and Bingkun has a clear sky.

Anyway, he can't stand any grievance or hardship.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have died just after turning thirty.

Of course, now that I have traveled to this era, I probably can’t just lie down, but I still can’t endure the grievances and sufferings.

After all, once you get used to suffering, there will be more and more suffering waiting for you.

"At this point in time, it should be almost time for the plot to begin."

Mu Sheng was secretly calculating, and over the past few days he had a basic understanding of the current situation.

Zhou Zhigang, Zhou's father, was about to leave for the Third Front. The eldest, Zhou Bingyi, had already joined the Construction Corps and was leaving on the same day as his father. One of the remaining children, Zhou Rong and Zhou Bingkun, also needed to be chosen to go to the countryside.

In the plot, the Zhou family finally chose Zhou Bingkun to go to the countryside, which is understandable to Mu Sheng.

After all, poor mountains and bad waters produce unruly people. Although it is not appropriate to say this, there are indeed many inconveniences and dangers for a girl to go to the countryside.

But Zhou Rong doesn’t think so. Life is precious, but love is more precious.

In pursuit of love, she chose to leave without saying goodbye, leaving her mother and brother behind, and went to find the poet Feng Huacheng, who was only a few years older than her parents.

Of course, this is nothing, everyone has the right to pursue their own happiness.

But Zhou Rong was shameless in that she said the reason for her opportunity to go to the countryside was to take care of her young brother.

This is a bit shameless.

Although those who stayed in the city did benefit, your own motives, Zhou Rong, were not pure either. How can you have the nerve to flatter yourself?

Coupled with Zhou Rong's selfishness throughout the original drama, Mu Sheng particularly hates this person.

Isn't it just putting yourself on a higher moral ground? Everyone would do the same.

Anyway, he won't accept the favor, and he won't go down to the countryside.

It was too bitter. Even people of that era felt it was bitter, let alone Mu Sheng who came from later generations.

I'm afraid it will cost him half his life.

Besides, going to the countryside could not change Zheng Juan's fate. As the official partner of Zhou Bingkun in the original drama, Zheng Juan was also a character who suffered from beginning to end.

She was abandoned as a child, raped as a youth, her husband was imprisoned in middle age, and her son died in old age.

The same kindness and honesty, the same life of suffering.

Since I have already replaced Zhou Bingkun's identity, I might as well help Zheng Juan change her fate.

On the other hand, Mu Sheng's physical condition does not allow him to go to the countryside.

His way of traveling this time was by replacement. In the eyes of people around him, he was Zhou Bingkun, but his body was Mu Sheng's own body, the body that was full of problems at the age of thirty.

Of course, there are also advantages. After all, it is your own body. There won’t be any problems like “I’m cheating on you” or “my son is not my son”.

In addition, while Mu Sheng is in the human world, his own lifespan consumption is stagnant, and he will give priority to consuming the lifespan of the replacement object.

To put it simply, there are two life bars. When the original owner Zhou Bingkun's life bar is used up, Mu Sheng's own life bar begins to be consumed.

In this way, even if he doesn't have enough energy to travel through time and space, Mu Sheng can still live for a long time, so it's a win-win situation anyway.

Another benefit is that replacement will compress the original owner's memories into packages, so that when encountering familiar people or objects, related memories will automatically emerge.

This will not only not affect Mu Sheng's self-perception, but will also help him integrate into the environment faster.

The disadvantage is naturally that Mu Sheng's physical fitness is not as good as the original owner.

After all, Mu Sheng was already 31 years old when he traveled through time. When he was young, he often stayed up late to work overtime, and coupled with overeating, his health had long been in poor condition.

Climbing two flights of stairs would make him sweat profusely. Later, he was diagnosed with fatty liver, which really scared Mu Sheng. He decisively chose to resign to save his life.

Although I have been maintaining a healthy lifestyle, exercising and recuperating over the past two years, my body has recovered somewhat.

But it cannot be compared with the original owner's young body. The strength may be similar, but the endurance, immunity, etc. are definitely far inferior to the original owner.

If someone with this physical condition goes to the countryside and gets sick by accident, he will probably die due to the lack of medical care and medicine.

If Zhou Rong wants to go to the countryside, let her go. Mu Sheng won’t go anyway.

I finally got the golden finger. If I die by accident, I won’t be able to close my eyes even when I die.

I have to drink two bowls of Meng Po soup, otherwise I will never forget this feeling of frustration.

Therefore, as the first refining skill, Mu Sheng chose the health-preserving Eight Section Brocade.

Then I found out that I couldn't change the skill until the skill refining was completed.

So this is the difference from hanging up?
