107: Section 107

【Randomizing identity.】

【Your randomized identity this time is a descendant of the Jinwu Mountain Chiqiu Remnants.】

Jinwu Mountain Chiqiu Remnants.

This made Su Mo's heart sink.

It couldn't be a slave start again, just like that time in the Shang Dynasty, could it?

As a Red Hill Remnant of Jinwu Mountain, he appeared in Yi Du.

Connecting this to the myth of Da Yi shooting down the suns, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.

A slave's life is not easy...

Now, he absolutely had to use a Talent Card.

Otherwise, if his background wasn't good and his talent wasn't good, wouldn't that be torture?

...

【Randomizing talent.】

【Talent Card detected. Do you wish to use the Talent Card?】

“Use it!”

【Randomizing talents. Please select one talent from the following ten as your starting talent.】

Immediately after, many colorful streams of light appeared before Su Mo, with one golden light being particularly striking.

【One, Words of Fortune and Misfortune (Purple): Your words possess miraculous power, capable of altering others' luck to a certain extent. You can curse others with disaster or bless them with explosive good fortune.】

【Two, Illusory Dream (Blue): You can freely enter others' dreams, but if your Mental Energy is insufficient, you can easily become trapped within and unable to escape.】

【Three, Out of Body (Blue): You can freely allow your Soul to leave your body, but if your Mental Energy is insufficient, you can easily be unable to return to your main body.】

【Four, Cold Reading (White): You are Innately gifted with a powerful talent for observing expressions, easily discerning others' hidden thoughts from their subtle facial expressions.】

【Five, Light Steps (White): The muscles in your legs and feet are different from ordinary people, allowing you to walk and run much faster than others.】

【Six, Absolute Pitch (White): You are Innately extremely sensitive to the melody and rhythm of music, able to easily master various musical instruments, and the music you play will be incredibly harmonious.】

【Seven, Self-Healing (White): Your self-healing speed is ten times faster than ordinary people, but your lifespan is only one-tenth of an ordinary person's.】

【Eight, Spiritual Tongue (White): You can easily distinguish all the Materials in food and medicinal soups, and accurately state their proportions. However, due to your sensitive tongue, you find it difficult to derive pleasure from food.】

【Nine, Hyperthymesia (White): From the day you gained the ability to remember, you have been able to recall all the details of your life. Because you cannot forget, you will live in pain for the rest of your life.】

【Ten, Solar True Fire (Gold): You have established a peculiar connection with the sun. A wisp of Solar True Fire is Innately nurtured in your heart, which can be strengthened through Acquired training. Solar True Fire has numerous wonderful uses, such as body protection, combat, and forging.】

Out of the ten talents, there was one gold, one purple, two blue, and six white.

As for the talent selection, Su Mo naturally chose the golden talent without hesitation.

Although the purple talent, “Words of Fortune and Misfortune,” was also very powerful, it definitely had side effects he didn't know about.

Otherwise, why wasn't it rated as a golden talent by this “love affair life”?

If there's gold, choose gold; you can't go wrong!

Chapter 107: Slave Start, Jinwu Mountain Chiqiu Remnants

【Your talent this time is “Solar True Fire.”】

【Do you wish to use the AFK function?】

“No!”

【One virtual reality opportunity detected. Do you wish to use this opportunity?】

“Use it!”

As he chose to use it, Su Mo's vision suddenly went black, and his consciousness instantly became Chaos...

...

Su Mo didn't know how long he had slept.

When he woke up, his body had transformed into a baby with golden-red hair.

Born in Yi Du as a Red Hill Remnant of Jinwu Mountain.

This was his identity in this life.

Su Mo opened his eyes and saw that he was surrounded by robust, red-haired, tattooed Red Hill Remnants.

His golden-red hair stood out from everyone else's.

And upon seeing Su Mo's golden-red hair, all the Red Hill Remnants had a look of disappointment in their eyes.

Before long, an old, frail, wrinkled old woman walked over.

Su Mo's nimble big eyes rolled around.

He wondered what the old woman's status was among this group of people.

The old woman's gaze towards Su Mo was not one of disappointment, but of sadness.

Then, she produced a can of reddish dye from somewhere and began to apply it to Su Mo's hair.

A moment later.

The dye covered his golden-red hair.

The color became the same as those around him, all reddish.

Seeing Su Mo, who wasn't crying or making a fuss.

The old woman slapped Su Mo's tiny bottom.

Su Mo's tears were instantly stimulated.

He began to cry loudly.

The others laughed.

The Jinwu Mountain Chiqiu Remnants did not have surnames, and Su Mo received his name.

Mo.

Everyone called him Mo.

Su Mo was very well-behaved at first, but as he became familiar with his surroundings, his behavior became much bolder.

Before he was one year old, his range of activity was limited to a small house.

Every day, besides drinking milk, he would crawl around everywhere.

Su Mo, with his limited knowledge of childcare, only remembered that on Earth, advertisements claimed that crawling more was good for a child's health.

Moreover, Su Mo had the Soul of an adult and wasn't as troublesome as other children, so his parents in this life had an easy time.

Additionally, through his parents' conversations, Su Mo learned that the place he lived was the slave district of Yi Du.

In the past, Da Yi defeated their guardian Divine Beast, the Golden Crow, and from then on, the Chiqiu People completely became slaves of the Yi People.

Because the weapons and armor forged by the Chiqiu People were of excellent quality, even though they were enslaved, Da Yi specifically gave them a living area in Yi Du.

At the same time, because the appearance of the Chiqiu People was incompatible with others, intermarriage only occurred internally, with no possibility of marrying outsiders.

After one year old, Su Mo could walk, and his range of activity greatly expanded.

From being confined indoors, he could now move around the courtyard.

Occasionally, he could observe other Red Hill tribesmen forging iron.

Perhaps it was due to the Innate talent of the Red Hill Remnants, but when Su Mo watched these people forge iron, he always felt that he was subconsciously learning these skills.

Days passed one by one.

When Su Mo had nothing to do, he would run around wildly to train himself.

He wanted to defy Heaven and change his fate.

He had to start from childhood.

But to prevent exposing that his thoughts were different from others, even after Su Mo learned to speak, he never spoke in front of his parents.

This situation continued until he was five years old, when his parents, worried that Su Mo was mute, sought out the Wu of Red Hill.

And the Wu of Red Hill was the old woman who had dyed his hair red when Su Mo was born.

Those who can purify themselves to serve the Divine Beings are called Xi, and also Wu.

She was the one who could communicate with the Divine Beings.

Everyone would respectfully call her Da Wu upon seeing her.

When Da Wu arrived, Su Mo felt a little flustered, afraid that he would be found out.

However, when Da Wu looked into Su Mo's eyes, she seemed to find nothing amiss, merely telling Su Mo's parents in this life that.

His not speaking was a good thing.

Speaking would invite disaster.

Upon hearing Da Wu say this, Su Mo's parents no longer cared whether Su Mo could speak or not.

In their eyes.

Da Wu was equivalent to a Divine Being.

The news of Su Mo's inability to speak quickly spread throughout the tribe, and the tribe's children would gang up to bully and mock him.

But Su Mo's body was much sturdier than other children's, and he often sent the children who bullied him scurrying away with their heads in their hands.

The parents of other children often came knocking, and Su Mo's parents secretly rejoiced while outwardly apologizing sincerely.

Su Mo's fists made him the king of the children.

For some reason, Su Mo always felt that his childhood passed very quickly.

His Solar True Fire talent had also not shown any power, so he could only muddle through.

Soon he grew to sixteen years old.

By now, Su Mo was 1.85 meters tall, handsome, and robust.

Sixteen years old.

This was the age of adulthood for the Chiqiu People.

The coming-of-age ceremony was also held in this year.

The Red Hill coming-of-age ceremony was cruel.

One needed to take a red-hot copper plate representing their Family from the forge and then brand the Family mark from this copper plate onto their chest.

Chiqiu People with high Bloodline concentration could even gain the ability to control fire through the coming-of-age ceremony.

This ability would accompany them throughout their lives, and Chiqiu People who gained such an ability would be in their element in their future forging and ironworking careers.

It's just that the Red Hill Remnants had not had anyone Awaken for many years.

Da Wu, through divination, informed everyone that this was actually a gift that the Divine Beings wanted to bestow upon their Chiqiu People.

When Su Mo took out the copper plate from the forge with both hands, a heart-wrenching pain continuously assailed him. He could clearly feel his flesh sizzling on the red-hot copper plate, and wafts of meaty aroma came forth.

Enduring the intense pain.

With a searing sound.

Su Mo placed the copper plate on his chest, and the patterns on the copper plate continuously altered the texture of his chest muscles.

After a minute, Su Mo finally threw the copper plate aside.

And on his chest.

A branded tattoo appeared, its shape and appearance resembling a three-legged Golden Crow about to spread its wings and soar.

Boom!

Su Mo suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest, and a ball of golden-red flame burst forth from the tattoo. The newly branded three-legged Golden Crow now seemed to have come alive.

After a sky-piercing cry, the golden-red flame disappeared, and Su Mo's burns on his chest and hands recovered as before, leaving only a Golden Crow tattoo.
