Chapter 1 Chen's Pharmacy, Handyman Apprentice! 【Favorites】
Dali Dynasty
Pingzhou Prefecture, Qingshan County
The biting cold wind howled, and the snow fell all over the sky.
There are few pedestrians on the street, and the hawking of vendors has long since disappeared.
The cold and dirty bluestone streets were crowded with shivering and ragged refugees fleeing famine. The numbness and misery on their faces cast a desolate atmosphere on the county.
Outside Chen's Pharmacy on Southwest Avenue.
There was already a long queue early in the morning.
Hundreds of yellow-faced and emaciated victims blocked the place.
A middle-aged manager in Tsing Yi scolded impatiently: "What are you doing? What are you squeezing? Let me spread out. Today the pharmacy does not serve porridge, but only recruits people!"
"Listen to me, our Chen's pharmacy is the leading pharmacy in Qingshan County. It is a good place for many people to get in even if they sharpen their heads."
"Today, the master has a kind heart, and because you have a hard time escaping from the famine, we specially recruit a group of young people under the age of 16 who are innocent and can read and write as apprentices."
"Although there is no wages for working in a pharmacy, you can eat three meals a day, get rewards during New Years and holidays, change clothes twice a year, and learn the skills of pharmacy and doctor treatment. The treatment is absolutely generous."
"Why are you all just staring blankly? Those who meet the requirements go to the queue to register, and those who don't meet the requirements get out of here. Don't be an eyesore here!"
The Tsing Yi steward gave a lecture
While directing a few servants to register and select candidates.
The disaster victims flocked forward, and everyone's face was filled with fiery expectation.
In the hearts of these poor people suffering from hunger and cold, Chen's pharmacy, which includes food and lodging, is simply a good place like heaven.
So many people who are beyond the standard also want to take the opportunity to fish in troubled waters.
"Your grandma, you can't understand human language, right?"
"We only want teenagers under the age of 16. You are so old that you are squeezed here to seek death?"
The manager in Tsing Yi viciously whipped the crowd a few times before stopping the chaos.
Not far away, a young man with withered hair, thin body and bright eyes watched 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 in Bluestar.
But due to overtime work and staying up late, he died suddenly, and woke up in this strange world.
Before time travel, Wei Han's company was developing a word cultivation game, the selling point was set as an immortal person, how long can he live in the dangerous and mysterious world?
In the game, the lifespan of the player is unlimited. 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 just after the game was developed, Wei Han would die suddenly and travel through time.
And the system of this game actually bound him to come here together.

Looked at his attribute version.
A helpless wry smile flashed across Wei Han's face.
Immortality was originally a very cool 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 strange monsters emerging in an endless stream, 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 crossing over.
Along the way, he encountered strange murders.
I also didn’t drink a drop of water for half a month, and witnessed others changing their children and eating.
Because of the system's undead setting, he who should have died thousands of times is still tenaciously alive.
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 taste of hunger and cold tortured him all the time.
In order to have a full mouthful, Wei Han could only stand here in the end.
"The pharmacy is a good place. At least you can learn some crafts, and you can get food and shelter. It's better than other disaster victims selling themselves as slaves!"
"When I stabilize, I will find a chance to practice martial arts and immortality. People always have to eat."
Wei Han silently comforted himself.
After waiting for a while, it was finally his turn to register.
"Name?" the servant asked.
"Here in Wei Han, a person from Kaoshan Village, Tu County, Yuzhou, 14 years old this year!" Wei Han said clearly, "All relatives in the family have passed away while fleeing, and when they were young, they studied in a private school in the village, so they can read and write. "
"Um!"
The servant nodded in satisfaction.
There is also a trace of pity in the eyes looking at Wei Han.
Seeing that he is articulate and upright, he quite meets the requirements.
"This is a five-year contract, let's sign it." The boy pushed a piece of paper over.
Wei Han glanced at it casually, the terms of the contract were not too much, it only required not to change jobs within five years.
The Dali Dynasty strictly forbids slavery!
Although the apprentice handyman has a low status, he is not worried about being sold out.
Wei Han signed his name readily, and then pressed his fingerprints, so he officially joined Chen's Pharmacy.
"What about immortality? Filling your stomach is king."
"Finally don't have to live on the street tonight, shivering from the cold!"
Wei Han muttered with a dumbfounded smile.
Try your best to blend yourself into the crowd and keep a low profile.
He is not the kind of sand sculpture like a dragon who is proud of the sky. He thinks that there is a system for time travel, and he is not afraid of the sky and the earth.
Immortality does not mean invincibility, and now he is still powerless.
If his secret is exposed, many people will be interested in studying him.
Even if no one can kill you, so what? Couldn't you be solved by tying an iron block and throwing it into the sea?
At that time, if I repeatedly choked to death and revived in the sea, my scalp would feel numb just thinking about it.
"Enough is enough, the quota is full, if you are not selected, you are unlucky, let's go!"
"Everyone who has signed, drawn and pledged will follow me. From now on, everyone will be on their own. First go to the backyard to wash and change clothes. Later, the shopkeeper will have to lecture. Be quick."
After a while of busy work
The Tsing Yi steward selected 30 teenagers.
Turn around and lead everyone into the pharmacy.
This is a large shop with eight facades wide, three upper and lower floors, and three front and rear courtyards, covering an area of more than ten acres.
The store is full of people, and the air is filled with a strong smell of medicine.
Physicians and drug boys are busy, and patients have already been discharged.
The backyard is also lively and colorful, with guards practicing martial arts, apprentices boiling medicine, and handymen drying medicinal materials.
Compared with the cold and dead chaos outside.
This place seems to be another world.
The eyes of the teenagers suddenly burst into light.
Even Wei Han couldn't help showing a little interest: "It's not bad here!"
