Dali Dynasty
Pingzhou Prefecture, Qingshan County
The biting cold wind whistled, and snowflakes fell from the sky.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and the sounds of vendors hawking have long since disappeared.
The cold and dirty bluestone streets were crowded with shivering and ragged victims fleeing the famine. The numbness and misery on their faces gave the county a layer of sadness.
Outside Chen's Pharmacy on Southwest Street.
There was already a long queue early in the morning.
Hundreds of emaciated victims surrounded the place.
A middle-aged steward in green clothes scolded impatiently: "What are you doing? Why are you crowding? Please spread out, the pharmacy is not giving out porridge today, we are only recruiting people!"
"Listen to me, our Chen's Pharmacy is the leading pharmacy in Qingshan County. It is a good place that many people can't get in even if they try hard to get in."
"Today, my master is kind-hearted and wants you to escape from the famine, so he specially recruits a group of young men under the age of 16 who are clean and can read and write to serve as apprentices."
"Although you don't get paid for working in the pharmacy, you get three meals a day, you get silver rewards during the holidays, you get a change of clothes twice a year, and you can learn how to make medicines and treat patients. The remuneration is absolutely generous."
"Why are you all standing there? If you meet the requirements, come forward and queue up to register. If you don't meet the requirements, get out and don't be an eyesore!"
The steward in Tsing Yi lectured
At the same time, he directed several boys to start registering and selecting people.
The victims swarmed forward, and everyone's face was full of eagerness.
In the minds of these poor people who were hungry and cold, Chen's Pharmacy, which provided food and accommodation, was simply a paradise-like place.
So much so that many people who are over the age limit also want to take advantage of the troubled waters.
"Your grandma can't understand human speech, right?"
"We only want young people under the age of 16, why are you crowding in with all your age to seek death?"
The steward in green whipped the crowd fiercely several times to stop the chaos.
Not far away, a young man with yellow hair, a thin body but bright eyes looked at the farce with a strange expression.
His name is Wei Han, he is 14 years old this year!
No one knows that he is actually a time traveler!
Three months ago, Wei Han was just an ordinary programmer at Blue Star.
However, due to working overtime and staying up late, he died suddenly and woke up in this strange world.
Before the time travel, Wei Han Company was developing a text-based immortality game. The selling point was set as how long an immortal person could survive in a dangerous and mysterious world.
In the game, players have unlimited lifespan. As long as they are not subjected to devastating attacks, most injuries can be recovered in an instant, which is equivalent to having a youthful version of immortality.
But who would have thought that as soon as the game was developed, Wei Han would suddenly die and travel through time.
And the system of this game actually bound him to come here together.
[Immortal and idle to become stronger system]
[Player]: Wei Han
【Age】：14
[Lifespan]: Eternal Life "Fixed"
[Cultivation]: None yet
[Practice method]: None yet

I looked at my property version.
A helpless smile flashed across Wei Han's face.
Immortality was originally a very satisfying thing.
But this ancient-like mysterious world is not an ordinary danger.
The Dali Dynasty has been passed down for more than 600 years. Not only are all kinds of monsters and monsters emerging one after another, disasters continue to occur in various states and capitals, and the people are in dire straits.
Wei Han encountered a once-in-a-century flood just after he traveled through time.
There is not a single one of the more than 1,000 people in the village left. As a young man, he followed the fleeing army all the way south and spent two months wandering around before arriving here.
Along the way, he encountered strange murders.
There was also a time when there was no water for half a month, and I witnessed others changing their children to eat.
Because of the system's immortal setting, he was still tenaciously alive even though he should have died thousands of times.
It's a pity that the system only guarantees that he will not die. People will still be hungry and afraid of the cold.
The feeling of hunger and cold tortured him all the time.
In order to have a full meal, Wei Han could only stand here in the end.
"The pharmacy is a good place. At least you can learn a trade and it provides food and accommodation. It's better than other disaster victims selling themselves as servants!"
"When I stabilize, I will find another opportunity to practice martial arts and become an immortal. People always have to eat."
Wei Han comforted himself silently.
After waiting for a while, it was finally his turn to come forward and register.
"Name?" the boy asked.
"I am Wei Han, a native of Kaoshan Village, Tu County, Yuzhou. I am 14 years old this year!" Wei Han said clearly: "All my family members have died during the flight. When I was young, I studied in a private school in the village and I can read and write. "
"Um!"
The boy nodded with satisfaction.
The look he looked at Wei Han also had a hint of pity.
Seeing that he is articulate and upright, he meets the requirements very well.
"This is a five-year contract. Please sign and pledge it." The boy pushed over a piece of paper.
Wei Han took a casual look and saw that the terms of the contract were not too excessive. They just required that they not change jobs within five years.
The Dali Dynasty strictly prohibited slavery!
Although the apprentice handyman has a low status, he is not worried about being sold.
Wei Han readily signed his name and pressed his fingerprint. Now he officially joined Chen's Pharmacy.
"So what if you live forever? Filling your stomach is the way to go."
"I finally don't have to live on the streets tonight, shivering from the cold!"
Wei Han muttered with a dumbfounded smile.
Try to blend yourself into the crowd and keep a low profile as much as possible.
He is not that kind of sand sculpture like Long Aotian, who thinks that he has a systematic way to travel through time and space, and he is not afraid of anything.
Immortality does not mean invincibility, and he is still powerless now.
If his secret is exposed, many people will be interested in studying him.
So what if no one can kill you? Wouldn't it be possible to tie you to a piece of iron and throw it into the sea?
When the time comes, if you are repeatedly choked to death and resurrected in the sea, your scalp will go numb just thinking about it.
"That's enough, that's enough. The quota is full. Those who haven't been chosen are considered unlucky. Let's go!"
"Everyone who has signed and deposited the money will come with me. From now on, everyone will be on their own. Let's go to the backyard to wash up and change clothes. The shopkeeper will have to lecture you later, so be smart."
After a while of busy work
The steward in Tsing Yi selected 30 young people.
He turned around and led everyone into the pharmacy.
This is a large shop with eight doors wide, three floors above and below, three courtyards at the front and back, and an area of more than ten acres.
The store was crowded with people, and the air was filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Doctors and medicine boys are busy, and there is a long queue of patients.
The backyard is also lively and lively, with guards practicing martial arts, apprentices boiling medicine, and handymen drying medicinal materials.
Compared to the cold, dead chaos outside.
This seems to be another world.
The eyes of the young men suddenly lit up with excitement.
Even Wei Han couldn't help but feel a little interested: "This place is pretty good!"
