Chapter 1 A Different Cultivation World
Su Mu carried a bag of ribs on his way home, most of the people in the neighborhood knew him and greeted him with a smile.
"Su Mu is out of school ah."
"Xiao Mu came back early enough today, you're going to take the exam soon, right? Are you sure? Do your best!"
Every time this time, Su Mu would politely respond one by one.
A granny who was holding her grandson and playing in the neighborhood rushed at him from afar and said, "Xiao Mu, I just came out from your house, Xiao Ye looks quite good today."
"Thank you Grandma Chen, thank you for your trouble."
"What are you polite for, we are all neighbors. Besides, Little Leaf is so cute, we all like her very much, if not for the fear of affecting her rest, we'd still want to play at your house for a little longer."
Su Mu chatted with Granny Chen for a few moments, then excused himself and left. Vaguely, he heard a few grandparents behind him talking:
"It's not easy for this child either."
"Yes, at a young age, his parents died, and there is a sister who is seriously ill ......."
"So many blows have not crushed him, but rather to support the family. Compared with him, my grandson is to do nothing, eat nothing left, but also every day with me talk back to make me angry. The more I think about it, the more angry I get, when the little bastard comes back, I must teach him a hard lesson!"
"That's right. If a child is disobedient, he must be beaten less, just beat him to death." The surrounding old men and women immediately raised an uproar, this one proposed to use yellow thorns to whip him, saying something like 'good people come out from under the yellow thorns'; that one suggested to take a stick to beat him because 'filial sons come out from underneath the stick'.
One by one, they can't wait to have a hilarious show, anyway, the person who gets beaten up, is not their grandchildren.
Su Mu mourned for that poor grandson for three seconds in his heart.
Suddenly, a palm-sized paper crane descended from the sky and hovered in front of Su Mu's eyes.
The paper crane was yellow, with the logo of a running dog drawn on top of one side's wings, and the words 'Meituan Takeaway' written on top of the other side's wings, and underneath the paper crane was also tugging a bag of takeaway, which looked like a spicy rabbit head, emitting a tantalizing aroma.
The paper crane fluttered its wings, as if it had life.
A thick man's voice, from the paper crane came out: "Buddy, know seven building three units in what place?"
Faced with a paper crane that can fly and talk, Su Mu was not surprised at all, and pointed sideways, "Over there is the ninth building, turn right in the past, straight across is the seventh building, the third unit is on its far right."
"Thanks buddy."
The paper crane said thanks, lifted its wings and rose into the air, flying towards the direction Su Mu said.
Looking at the paper crane that flew away, Su Mu remembered the scene when he first saw this thing.
At that time, he was not as calm as he is now, and almost didn't give a fright. It wasn't until later that he realized that this was the Meituan's delivery paper crane. The one who spoke wasn't the paper crane itself either, but the 'senior deliveryman' who was controlling it behind the scenes.
Yes, this world is not Earth, but a parallel universe.
A world with cultivation and magic!
In this world, the knowledge of cultivation and magic was highly integrated with technology and life, and the techniques of cultivation and magic were used in all walks of life. Cultivators in the East, and Transcendents in the West, all belonged to be high-end talents, no matter the social status or economic income, all of them made ordinary people incomparably envious.
Su Mu was not a native of this world, he had crossed over three years ago.
On Earth, Su Mu was a thirty-something year old hand game planner, and what he was best at was to engage in kryptonite activities to cheat money, so that players would yell out 'dog planner is not a human being' while obediently topping up their money and shouting 'really fragrant'.
But soon players will find that the kryptonite pumped to the wife and equipment is not cool enough, the dog planning to secretly change the weak, had to continue to kryptonite pumping new wife ......
Just came to this world, see his parents dead and a sister persona, Su Mu once thought he was going to walk on the peak of life.
After all, this kind of setup of two dead parents, is the usual formula in the net article, the proper protagonist template.
But all kinds of methods have been tried, whether it is the system, the old grandfather, or superpowers and what not, did not appear, even the cultivation talent is not stronger than others, but because of a series of strange behavior, was treated as an overstimulation, mental problems, in the hospital inside to participate in a period of time in the research work.
Mainly being researched, no income but also the kind of money.
Three years passed, Su Mu had already fully integrated into this world.
Here in addition to cultivation, magic, the other is not too different from the Earth - not only is the pattern of the world the same, the life of all kinds of very similar: here also has a Meituan, hungry, also Taobao, Jingdong. Huawei, millet and other cell phones also exist.
In these three years, Su Mu also established a deep relationship with his sister.
If it was said that when he first arrived, his sister was just a 'most familiar stranger' to him. Then now, his sister was not only his closest relative, but also the reason and spiritual support for his desperate efforts in this world.
Retracting his gaze, Su Mu turned around and walked into the unit building.
The slightly dimly lit hallway was plastered with various advertisements.
Not only were there pimples such as locksmiths, unclogging sewers, and small loans, but there were also large poster advertisements.
Directly opposite the entrance to the building there are two, or newly posted.
The poster on the left, standing a contracted ancient and modern history of the old artist.
Noticing that someone has come, the old artist in the poster hurriedly gave a thumbs up, smiled with a full face of folds, and shouted: "Learn to repair the machine to Lanxiang, the old famous school, quality and reliable, package teaching package will be assigned! Little brother, come to Lanxiang, here everyone is talented, talk and good, ensure that you will be super like, enrollment phone number you remember ......"
On the right is the competitor's poster, above is a group of chefs, see by the old artist grabbed the first, they are not willing to lag behind, have pulled out their voices and sang, or beautiful chorus: "Learning Ding food, the New Oriental, there is a good place, eight hundred stoves stainless steel, two hundred masters of the technology is strong, the work is stable and income is high, lifelong employment is guaranteed, guaranteed! "
Su Mu watched the performance of the two advertising posters with interest.
The advertisements inside the building in the past were all static ordinary advertisements, because it was about to be graduation season, these training organizations spent a lot of money to get the latest type of image posters.
This kind of posters using runes, spells, not only can move and talk, but also has a certain intelligence, encountered the intention of the person, not only can make a detailed introduction to each other, but also leave each other's contact information, through the network uploaded to the training institution's enrollment teacher.
If half a month later, the cultivation university exam failed, Su Mu may really go to these training schools.
Although the tuition fee was a bit expensive, but at least what he was learning was cultivation-related techniques, even if he couldn't become a cultivator, he could still find a good job, and he could make money while attending, which was more suitable for him than an ordinary university.
He needed money.
Whether it was to live or to cure his sister, money was indispensable.
Su Mu withdrew his gaze, raised his hand and slapped it on his head, as if rebuking himself, but also as if cheering himself up, "What are you thinking blindly about, I will definitely be able to get into a cultivation university, become a cultivator, and save up enough money to give my sister an operation to make her better."
He stopped looking at the posters and took big strides up the stairs.
Behind him, the 'people' on the two posters were still warmly retaining them:
"Little brother, leave a contact information."
"Don't go ah, let's talk again, talk again ......"
Their enthusiasm did not exchange Su Mu's response, but instead caused the residents of the first floor to angrily rebuke: "Shut up, okay, noisy your mom! I'll call the property to complain, to engage in such two broken ads, every day to see the individual with a chicken blood like yelling, the middle of the night are not resting, simply disturbing the people!"
Su Mu quickly went to the fourth floor, took out the key and opened the door.
This house is his cheap parents left behind the heritage, together with the left behind a hundred thousand dollars.
At the beginning of last year, his sister was diagnosed with leukemia, and the money was depleted. If Su Mu fails to get into the Cultivation University, this house will most likely not be saved.
Only by getting into a Cultivation University, or at the very least a Cultivation type mechanic training school, could he earn enough money to hire a Dan Master to cure his sister's illness.
When Su Mu entered the door, his sister Su Ye was curled up on the sofa like a kitten, watching the TV. Seeing him return, she hurriedly got up and asked in surprise, "Brother, why are you back so early today?"
Su Ye, who was already almost sixteen years old, had a very beautiful look, only her skin was miserably white and bloodless, and she wore a hat on her head, covering her head that had lost all her hair due to chemotherapy.
Seeing his sister, Su Mu revealed a gentle smile and explained, "Did you forget? Tomorrow is Sunday, you don't have to study late today."
As he spoke, he swept his eyes at the TV, which was broadcasting a whole news flash.
"The Formula 1 Championship's Magic City leg ended yesterday, with China's Great Wall Flying Sword Team overpowering a number of strong rivals such as the McLaren Flying Broom Team, the Force India Flying Carpet Team, and the Ferrari Flying Shoes Team to win the championship ......"
"Huawei releases new flagship phone with self-developed rune chip and Hongmeng system ......"
Since suffering from leukemia and taking a break from school to recuperate at home, Su Ye had enjoyed watching the news, which was one of the few channels she had to learn about the outside world.
Su Ye greeted Su Mu, saw the ingredients he was carrying in his hand, and said in surprise, "Brother, you bought ribs?"
Su Mu dotingly pinched her face and nodded with a smile, "Today is your birthday, I'll make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."
"Great, thank you brother!" Su Ye smiled happily, her smile was extraordinarily sweet, and then said in a mysterious manner, "Brother, I also prepared a birthday gift for you oh."
