Chapter 30: A New World, A New Beginning

“Yes!”
Su Mu chose to confirm without hesitation.
Then, his vision blurred, and he was back in the white space.
A virtual interface appeared in front of Su Mu.
[Host: Su Mu]
[Base attribute points: 10+3] (3 base attribute points will be awarded based on your performance in the previous dungeon)
[Physique]
[Intelligence]
[Vitality]
[Please allocate your basic attribute points. A new dungeon will be automatically created after the allocation.]
[Note: the dungeon cannot be changed after it is created!]
…
This time, Su Mu had 3 more attribute points at his disposal.
After thinking for a while, he chose a relatively balanced build path.
[Physique: 6]
[Intelligence: 3]
[Vitality: 4]
This time, Su Mu added a little more luck to his fate, or else his childhood would be tragically brutal again.
As for Intelligence, he didn’t feel that it was of much use, so he only added 3 points.
Vitality was still the most important, so Su Mu had invested the most in it, and got 6 points.
[Basic attribute points have been allocated. The dungeon world has been automatically created.]
[Please choose three initial talents.]
After adding the points, ten talents appeared in front of Su Mu.
[Tiangang: A lifetime without a wife]
[Spiritual sense: Sense potential danger]
[No wealth: Unable to accumulate wealth]
[Fragile fate: Fate +3, Intelligence +3]
[Rot Retardation: Corpse rotted at a slower rate]
[Friendly: +30% favorability with all living things]
[Survive: Greatly increases vitality, less likely to die]
[Mad demon: Burn your life force and unleash three times your combat power before death.]
[Assimilation: Any object that comes into close contact with you will be assimilated.]
[Big dreamer: Your consciousness is in chaos before the age of 18. After the age of 18, you gain enlightenment. All basic attributes are doubled.]
…
The overall quality of these ten talents was much better than the first dungeon.
In addition to the first eight gray talents, there were two more green talents.
Be it the font effects or the introduction, they all looked more advanced!
What Su Mu valued the most was the talent [Big dreamer].
Before the age of 18, he would be a fool with a muddled mind.
However, as long as he could survive past the age of 18, his basic attributes would double, and he would be able to take off!
However, it was his first time entering a new dungeon world, so he had to play it safe.
It would not be too late for Su Mu to choose this talent after he had a clear understanding of the dungeon world.
Regardless, it was impossible to clear it in one go.
After thinking for a while, Su Mu chose three relatively stable and practical talents.
They were [Spirit sense], [Friendly], and [Mad demon].
[Spiritual sense: Sense potential danger]
[Friendly: +30% favorability with all living things]
[Mad demon: Burn your life force and unleash three times your combat power before death.]
These three talents were very solid and could be useful in most situations.
In addition, there was also the [Resentment] from the last instance dungeon.
[Resentment: Increase the pain of death by 10 times.
In other words, this time, Su Mu could bring four talents into the dungeon world.
In addition, he still had 60 points in his hand, which he had obtained from clearing the last dungeon.
However, Su Mu wouldn’t use these 60 points without knowing the situation of the dungeon world.
He had to use his points with a specific purpose.
So, after distributing his attribute points and choosing his talents, Su Mu directly entered the dungeon world.
[Simulation begins!]
[Host: Su Mu]
[Physique: 6]
[Intelligence: 3]
[Vitality: 4]
[Talents: Spiritual sense, Friendly, Mad demon, Resentment]
[Item: None]
As the system interface faded away, Su Mu’s consciousness fell into darkness.
A new life had begun!
※※※※※※
Great Gan, Jizhou military camp.
A well-fed little boy was sitting on a piece of dead wood. He was holding his head with one hand and seemed to be thinking about something.
Just by looking at his posture and expression, he didn’t look like a child at all, but more like a small adult.
The little boy was none other than Su Mu, who had entered the dungeon world.
In this life, he was still born in Jizhou.
However, he was born in the year 2 of the apocalypse, which was exactly 10 years before the previous dungeon.
As for his family situation, it was not as good as the previous dungeon world.
In this life, Su Mu lost his parents when he was born and became an abandoned orphan on the battlefield.
However, his four-point fate was not just there for nothing.
Although he had no parents, he was adopted by a few army cooks who passed by and grew up in the army.
Although life wasn’t great, it was still okay.
He ate well and wore warm clothes.
The ladies were not bad, otherwise they would not have adopted abandoned babies on the battlefield.
In addition, Su Mu had the [Friendly] talent, which naturally increased the favorable impression others had of him.
After a few years, everyone in the military camp liked this strong-headed, smart, and clever boy.
It was already the 8th year of the Tianqi era, and Su Mu was six years old.
Although he did not grow like a monster under the effect of [Nirvana] like the last instance dungeon.
However, with 6 points of Physique, he was much stronger than his peers .
He estimated that it wouldn’t be long before he could start practicing martial arts.
Based on this development, Su Mu should be able to join the Great Gan’s Jizhou Army.
He didn’t have to worry about food and drink, and he even found an organization.
This opening was much better than in his previous life!
Even if a famine struck 12 years later, as a soldier, he should not be hungry. After all, he was eating government rations.
However, would this instance really go so smoothly?
This was a death system!
…
Su Mu held his chin and fell into deep thought.
At that moment, a little girl with pigtails skipped over.
Other than Su Mu, there were a few other children in the military camp.
They had to grow up in the military camp for different reasons.
In comparison, this little girl was the happiest of all the children.
She was Liu Leqing, the daughter of the great general Liu Gaotian.
Liu Gaotian didn’t want to remarry after his wife died of illness, so he brought his daughter into the military camp to raise her.
It had to be said that this was a truly open-minded father.
Wasn’t he afraid that a little girl’s heart would turn crooked when brought to a military camp full of men?
Fortunately, there were still some children in the military camp who could play with her.
He didn’t know if it was because Su Mu had an adult’s soul, or if it was the effect of the [Friendly] talent.
Among all his playmates, Liu Leqing liked Su Mu the most.
She would often pester Su Mu to play with her.
Su Mu did not share her enthusiasm.
However, Liu Leqing was the daughter of Liu Gaotian, the head of the military camp.
In addition, he was still young and had little to do.
It was no big deal for him to play with her occasionally.
He would just treat her as a younger sister.
However, Su Mu had already planned to start practicing martial arts in the near future, so he would not have time to play with this little girl.
…
Liu Leqing hummed a nursery rhyme and bounced in front of Su Mu.
“Brother Su Mu, what are you doing? Can you tell me a story? I want to hear Snow White again.”
Liu Leqing blinked her big round eyes and looked at him with a face full of desire.
“Alright, I…”
Su Mu was about to satisfy the little girl’s request, but he suddenly stopped.
When his eyes swept over the small flower on Liu Leqing’s head, Su Mu felt a prickling sensation all over his body, and he suddenly became alert.
It was [Spirit sense]!
This talent that had been dormant for six years was triggered for the first time.
It was all because of the little flower on Liu Leqing’s head!
