181: Transmigrator Rescue Center

Under the Heavenly Dao rule of time acceleration, the time in the Jinian Great World flows a hundred times faster than normal.

Li Jinian's reference time was primarily based on the timeline of his first Fellow Countryman, Qin Dong, with slight adjustments.

The land expanded every moment, and the self-evolution speed of the Origin energy had also increased.

Although things were looking up, how could that compare to the speed of plundering energy from others?

"Accelerate, accelerate, and accelerate again."

Li Jinian understood the principle of making the cake bigger first.

He bestowed blessings upon those three races and deployed a Clone to each.

There was no need to elaborate on the abilities of these Clones; each was equivalent to a regional overlord.

Under their leadership, the three major races grew rapidly, holding an absolute advantage in this racial "battle royale."

After some observation, Li Jinian found it difficult to decide which race to cultivate as the mainstream one.

"Forget it, if I can't figure it out, I won't think about it. Let them fight it out themselves and see which race wins in the end."

From then on, Li Jinian no longer interfered in the affairs of the continent, letting them develop naturally.

Seeing the situation, the war on the Jinian continent wouldn't end anytime soon. He decided to take a break and tinker with some new tricks.

What were these new tricks?

It had to be his premium service project—[System Service].

He couldn't lose his livelihood; not only would he keep it, but he also wanted to create a more comprehensive service.

First was the name. He decided to give the Systems a unified branding so the Fellow Countrymen would know who was providing the service.

The name would be [Transmigrator Containment and Rescue Center].

He edited the message, and then with a "ding," a message was sent to many Fellow Countrymen simultaneously.

[Important Notice: Thank you for your patronage. The provider of this System is the (Transmigrator Containment and Rescue Center).]

Establishing a brand was very important; only then could he better assist Fellow Countrymen who had transmigrated to the Myriad Realms.

In fact, for Li Jinian, earning energy wasn't the main point; it was all about people helping people!

And earning a little energy along the way.

As his own scale grew, Li Jinian's exploration of the Myriad Realms also intensified.

With just a rough sense, he vaguely found the aura of new Fellow Countrymen.

Needless to say—arrange it!

Congratulations, Fellow Countryman. Congratulations on becoming a black... my, Li Jinian's, partner!

However, another problem arose: from now on, there would only be more and more Fellow Countrymen.

If he had to custom-craft a System for every single Fellow Countryman, he wouldn't be able to keep up.

So, Li Jinian decisively crafted several types of System templates for the Fellow Countrymen to choose from.

[Type 1: All-around Lottery System] Free ten-pull at the start! Take it away after paying once you're satisfied with the rewards.

[Type 2: Mission Release System] Complete missions to receive rewards! A massive variety of unique missions to enrich your life after Transmigration.

[Type 3: Paid Check-in System] Pay first, then receive random rewards, with a chance to get a Heavenly Dao Divine Artifact!

[Type 4: Custom Golden Finger]

Of course, this fourth type of System would generally not be given out easily in the future.

After finishing the specific functions and rewards for the four types of Systems, Li Jinian began searching for Fellow Countrymen.

"Fellow Countryman, where are you?"

"Open the door, your System has arrived."

...Moving back in time a bit.

"A-choo, a-choo, a-choo!"

On the side of a main road, in front of a traffic light, Zhou Linxin sneezed several times in a row.

"Strange, is someone cursing me?"

Zhou Linxin rubbed his nose and continued waiting for the light, when a young man beside him suddenly spoke.

"Old Zhou, look, my eyebrow is twitching. I'm coming into money."

His name was Su You, Zhou Linxin's deskmate and best friend.

They were a comedic duo who liked to bicker normally but were very loyal when it mattered.

Su You was handsome and lean, the "boy next door" type, but he was rather quiet and serious.

Zhou Linxin was very empathetic, modest, and friendly; the two of them together always felt like a curious match.

Both had distinct traits: Su was a veteran reader of male-oriented web novels on a certain platform, while Zhou was an overweight 2D/anime otaku.

Hearing this, Zhou Linxin looked back and indeed saw the other's eyelid twitching violently.

"Could it be... a stroke of luck! My big break is coming!"

"Wait, why is it your right eyelid that's twitching?"

Just as he finished speaking, a "screech, screech" sound of tires grinding against the pavement came from the intersection ahead.

Then, Zhou Linxin and Su You saw the ground ahead rumbling as an out-of-control heavy-duty truck came barreling toward them... Regardless, you tell me, isn't this "hitting" a stroke of luck?

...Cangmo Great World, a certain Lower Realm.

Guixu Sect, Jingwan County.

Inside a certain black mine, two slaves who were huffing and puffing while mining suddenly died on the spot.

Thud, thud.

After two sounds, they both collapsed.

The other slaves nearby weren't very surprised to see this; they had long grown accustomed to it.

The mine was filled with toxic gases; one could say their lives were draining away every moment.

Two people dying was perfectly normal!

"Bad luck, another two dead."

The foreman hurried over and took a few looks.

"Carry them away. As usual, dig a hole and bury them!"

Two groups of people came forward with stretchers, covered them with white cloths, and prepared to take them away.

However, in the next moment, a sudden change occurred.

The two slaves moved again. They sat up from the ground, scanned the scene, and then began saying some very strange things.

Something about "Palace Jade Liquid Wine," something about looking like "Nailong," and asking if he was "Belial"... The two of them spoke these obscure terms, leaving the foreman utterly bewildered.

He was illiterate and didn't understand what those words meant.

But he didn't care about the state of these two slaves; as long as you could still lift a pickaxe, you mine for me!

If this delayed the important matters of the Sect's Immortals, even ten heads wouldn't be enough for him to lose.

Make us mine?

The two slaves' expressions became a bit resistant, but after a round of the foreman's whip, they behaved.

As more than ten days passed, the foreman discovered something very strange.

Two days ago, these two slaves were clearly dawdling while mining, but later they did a complete turnaround.

Their eyes were bloodshot as they mined, wishing their parents had given them more hands so they could hold more pickaxes.

Not only that, their mining efficiency was insanely high.

The two of them alone did the work of ten people; they were truly desperate.

Seeing that the two had become so cooperative and had stopped their crude talk, the foreman didn't give them any more trouble and even relaxed his surveillance.

Furthermore, to boost the morale of the other miners.

He exceptionally gave the two their own quarters and the right to have extra meals.

"Work hard. There are less than ten days until the ore delivery. You need to motivate everyone to mine more."

In ten days, it would be the day the Guixu Sect elders came to collect the spiritual ores. He had to push the progress even more.

The next day, mining continued.

The two most hardworking slaves, "Da Zhuang" and "Er Zhuang," were the first to rush into the mine.

However, this time, a "tail" quietly followed behind them.

Clang, clang.

The two were squeezed into a mine shaft, swinging their pickaxes incredibly fast.

"Slow down! Leave some for me!"

"I'm still short on money for today's System lottery."

"Fine, this side is yours."

A dark, short, thin man hid nearby and eavesdropped for a long time before slowly retreating... When the day's hard work ended, the two returned to their quarters.

In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door.

The two opened the door and saw that the visitor was one of the foreman's important thugs.

"Do you two have some kind of treasure?"

The visitor revealed the short sword at his waist, his meaning very clear.

"Treasure?"

Zhou Linxin frowned. "No, don't talk nonsense."

Bang! The visitor kicked over a table and chair.

"Do you two want to die?" He drew his short sword and pointed it at them.

"If you're smart, hand over that treasure called a 'System'!"

What he didn't know was that the moment those words left his mouth, the life and death of everyone in the entire mine had been decided.

"Crack..."

Su You acted ruthlessly, snapping the man's neck in an instant.

Both had inherited the memories of their predecessors and knew this was a cruel world of cultivation; no less than a hundred people had died in this black mine.

The System was their greatest secret and could not be leaked in the slightest; otherwise, what awaited them would be the cruelest torture.

Su You was a cautious and meticulous person.

Therefore, he chose to act without mercy.

"You... how could you kill someone..."

Beside him, Zhou Linxin was startled, feeling an inexplicable fear.

To this, Su You only smiled and said, "It's either them or us."

Not only that, Su You spoke of an even more terrifying plan.

He wanted to kill his way through the entire black mine, seizing the spiritual ores mined over the past few months while stealing as many resources as possible at full throttle.

"Why? There are many innocent people in here."

"Listen, Old Zhou. I don't know what kind of memories you inherited, but in my memories, the people at the bottom of this world are all like ants."

Su You talked incessantly, describing the novel settings he had seen on a certain platform; in short, they could die a miserable death at any moment.

"Remember, this is an another world, not a 2D anime world. They are all natives of an another world!"

"Only you and I are the ones who can have each other's backs!"

Zhou Linxin was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

That night, screams echoed throughout the black mine... Ten days passed quickly. When the Guixu Sect Disciples arrived at the mine, they discovered the tragic scene.

"Judging by the residual Spiritual Qi here, it seems two people were involved."

"One is at the fourth level of Qi Refining, and the other is at the sixth level."

This female Disciple of the Guixu Sect had fair skin, delicate features, and a pair of dark, bright eyes that shone with brilliance.

Behind her followed three male Disciples in similar attire.

They had originally thought it was just a minor slave infighting incident, but upon further investigation, they were all stunned.

"Senior Sister... the entire spiritual mine mountain... is empty!"

...Jinian Great World.

Deep within the Void Realm above.

The bronze eye hung high.

Li Jinian looked at the statistics table and immediately beamed with joy.

Welcome new Fellow Countrymen to the army of transmigrators.

Enough said. As the boss, he felt he had to personally go and deliver some benefits.

However, before he could set off, he locked onto the aura of another Fellow Countryman.

This time, it was actually a female Fellow Countryman...
