Chapter 29 Steam and Machinery, Magic and Mystery

[You experienced a painless time travel]

[When you open your eyes, you find that you have come to a world of steam and magic, and your body has changed to that of a 15-year-old, weak and ordinary]

[You have no identification, no money, and you don’t even have a bowl at the beginning]

[As a time traveler, you don’t have to panic too much. You take your time to explore the surrounding situation and prepare to start from scratch in this world]

[Although the body of a 15-year-old is not fully developed, it already has the ability to be self-reliant. This is your greatest capital and confidence. You cheer for yourself in your heart and struggle to climb out of the sewage]

Roaring steam.

Meshing gears.

Efficient magic.

At night, steel and steam, magic and mystery, together form the central hub of a huge city.

What woke Xu Xi up was an extremely sharp and narrow whistle.

"beep--!!!"

Open your eyes.

The left and right sides are blocked by towering red walls, leaving only the middle position, revealing the dim sky and a little yellowish light from the street lights.

Suddenly, hot white steam erupted from nowhere.

Hit the sky high.

Collision reaction with the cold evening breeze.

Dense water droplets formed, covering the sight before their eyes, and then disintegrated into mist again, slowly and evenly flowing to every corner of the city.

This kind of fog blocked the view very much, and from time to time, curses could be heard from all over the city.

then.

Xu Xi saw it.

There was a figure wearing a robe and holding a wand floating in the air. He waved it at will, and a huge fire storm appeared in the air, swallowing up the mist.

The city was quiet again.

Praise the almighty magic and the noble god of fire.

People pray like this.

This era is so magical. The faith of the gods spreads all over the earth, exalting the power of magic and the convenience of steam. But in the great corners, there are also some darkness that are ignored.

"How should I put it? Can't you give me a good start when simulating time travel?"

Xu Xi struggled.

He struggled to get up from the alley.

This alley is filled with black dirty water. The stench is unpleasant and it is also inexplicably corrosive. Compared with the last simulated start of the hungry people, the level of misery is comparable.

Xu Xi doubted whether this simulator was deliberately messing with itself.

"In short, let's find a way to solve the most basic needs of food, clothing, housing and transportation first, and then consider delving into magic."

After standing up.

Xu Xi staggered out of the alley.

In this new simulated world, he doesn't have any extraordinary power, nor does he have eternal tears, and he can't eat his sister's food.

Fortunately, with three entry talents, it is no problem to be self-reliant.

[You have taken the first difficult step]

[Through inquiring, you learned that your location is Allenson City, located in the north of the world. This is a large city equipped with highly efficient steam equipment. It mainly believes in the God of Fire, the God of Blacksmiths, and the Goddess of Harvest]

[When you are new here, choose to earn your first pot of gold through manual labor]

[You succeeded. Although you were half exhausted, you earned your first meal and your first trivial amount of money with your own sweat, which was three copper coins]

[You counted for ten minutes for this]

[You are extremely pleased that everything is developing according to your plan]

[You choose to temporarily take root in the slums. The food here is of high quality and low price, and you don’t need to rent a house. You can find a muddy land with two or three pieces of iron sheet and it will become your new residence.]

…

[One year has passed. During this year, you have successfully mastered the basic information of the world and know what to do next]

【This is an era ruled by gods】

[Countless people gain the ability to control magic by relying on their belief in gods. The deeper their belief, the stronger their magic level, and some will even be chosen as agents of gods, known as demigods]

[Magicians who choose to practice on their own without relying on belief in gods also exist, and are called elemental mages by the world]

[By understanding all things and establishing a connection with the elements, you can release magic]

[This is an extremely difficult road. As long as you believe in the gods with enough piety and devote your soul, you can become a strong person in a short time. However, elemental mages can only move forward step by step with difficulty, and few people choose it]

[You laugh, you happen to have a very good talent for elemental perception]

[At the same time, you have no interest in believing in gods]

[You spent all your hard work and savings for a year and went to a store in the city center to buy a bottle of the lowest slime. This is the lowest-grade magical material known to all, and it is also the only one you can buy. Items starting from]

One year later.

ghetto.

Ignoring the stench surrounding him, Xu Xi sat in his 'home' expressionless.

If that construction toy, which is located on a muddy road and made up of several iron plates, can be called a home.

"One year...tsk."

"Although in the simulated world, my senses are not as sharp as in the real world, I have indeed had enough of this year's slum life."

Xu Xi sighed with emotion, shaking the transparent and colorless slime in his hand.

The mucus was contained in transparent bottles that were tightly sealed and slowly turned upside down following Xu Xie's shaking movements.

Use slime to practice.

This is an impossible thing.

But the Xu system is different.

Long ago, Xu Xi chose the magic side as the new simulation world and prepared for it for a long time. He prepared the meditation method for practicing magic in advance and looked at various practice items.

And in this simulation, he has the special entry of elemental perception.

Therefore.

A miracle that should not have happened was born in the slums.

...

[You became a magic apprentice]

[Through meditation, you successfully sensed the life elements in the slime, and your brain was surprisingly calm, reaching the upper limit that mortals can have, and engraved this elemental fluctuation in the spiritual sea of ​​consciousness]

[You therefore learned level 0 magic · Life Slime Generation]

[You left the slums and went to the Magician Association in the center of Allenson, registered and registered as a magician apprentice, and received a benefit of 10 silver coins every month]

[Your life has improved and started to get better in a real sense]

[You crossed the class and became a distinguished magic apprentice from a mud-legged man in the slums. Everyone was shocked by you and thought you were a devout believer of the goddess of life]

[Because in this world, the existence of elemental mages is extremely rare. Even if someone wants to learn, it is difficult to perceive the elements. It is praised as an existence that only exists in stories]

[You smiled, neither admitting nor denying]

[In an era when everyone believes in gods, atheists will be regarded as heretics. The misunderstandings of you by everyone can just allow you to live more safely]
