Dawn of a New Era

When school was over in the afternoon, Chen Shouyi finally got rid of the suggestion of the two bad friends to go to the Internet cafe for a while, and rode his bicycle home alone.

Dad, Mom, I'm back.

It's still early for dinner, and it's not the busiest time. There is no one in the restaurant. Mother Chen is sitting at the cash register, pressing the calculator over and over again, without looking up:

Are you hungry? If you are hungry, let your father make you a rice bowl.

Those who open restaurants always have dinner very early, because the time to wait for normal meals is often the busiest time.

Let's eat together when my little sister comes! Chen Shouyi dropped his schoolbag and said listlessly.

Then you don't have to stay here, go back to your room and do your homework! Mother Chen Jiang Fen glanced at him and said with disgust.

I don't have much homework today, I've already finished it.

Then help your father kill the fish. With your grades, I don't expect much.

Chen Shouyi was also a person who was used to being beaten, and he always accepted it submissively. He didn't react at all when he heard this, and immediately ran to the kitchen obediently.

While handling the ingredients, Chen Dawei said with a smile: Don't listen to your mother, go back to your room and read books. It's only a year away from the college entrance examination. There may be little hope for the second book. I think the third book can still be put together!

Who made your son so stupid? It's not that I didn't work hard, but what can I do if I don't do well in the exam? Chen Shouyi couldn't help complaining in a low voice. During this summer vacation, he didn't take a day off and went to cram school. But the performance is still not much improved.

Since he was a child, he was most afraid of his mother, so he could only tell his father about it, and he would never dare to talk to his mother.

As he spoke, he grabbed a fish, and after falling unconscious, he skillfully scraped off the fish scales.

I have to ask your mother about it. I didn't stay well during pregnancy and insisted on running around in the fields, but I fell down and gave birth to you early. Chen Dawei said with a good attitude and a cheerful face.

Compared with the smart second child, he still likes this stupid son, who is like him.

It's my fault! Chen's mother, who was in front of the account, heard Chen Dawei's voice, and immediately raised her voice: Don't think about it, when I was pregnant, the farming was just busy, and I didn't bring you water, you are dying of thirst.

Who blamed you! Chen Dawei paused for a moment when he heard that the knife was cutting meat, and said hastily.

Chen Shouyi squeezed out a gloating smile.

In this family, yin flourishes and yang declines seriously, his mother has the highest status and speaks the most useful, his father can only be ranked third, and there is a younger sister in front of him, of course he is the most useless.

hiss!

As if extreme joy begets grief, Chen Shouyi accidentally cut his finger too hard with the knife that scraped the scales of the fish, and the blood soon flowed out.

I told you not to do it a long time ago, go wash it up, the band-aid is under the tea table in the living room upstairs. Chen Dawei glanced at it and said hastily.

After hurting his hand, Chen Shouyi couldn't continue working, so he washed his hands quickly and walked upstairs slowly.

His house is a self-built house facing the street, with a restaurant on the upper floor and a restaurant on the lower floor. When it was first built, it was still a suburban countryside. With the expansion of the city over the years, this house has become more and more valuable.

He went upstairs and found a band-aid, and just after putting it on, he heard the sweet and greasy voice of his sister from downstairs.

Hearing that Chen's mother treated her daughter differently from him, Chen Shouyi curled his lips secretly.

The sycophant!

Don't look at how he defends this sister from the outside, in fact, the relationship between the two has not been very good.

When I was young, I was fighting for toys, snacks, and pets, and when I grew up, I would compare grades and certificates.

The existence of his younger sister always made him feel worthless, like walking garbage.

The saddest thing for him is that he used to beat her up and cry when he couldn't grab her when he was a child, but now even this is powerless.

She is now a quasi-martial arts apprentice, and she can crush him even with one hand.

Brother, I heard from Mom that you killed the fish and cut it! Soon, the younger sister Chen Xingyue also walked upstairs and said with a smile.

Chen Xingyue wore a ponytail and fair skin. She looked pretty and full of vitality.

But only Chen Shouyi knew how dark this sister was.

It's nothing, it's just a little scratch! Chen Shouyi tried his best to put on his brother's majesty, and said calmly. From her expression, he could see the taste of gloating.

Chen Xingyue didn't get to the bottom of it either. She took the remote control and turned on the TV.

As we all know, the other world is a world ruled by gods, and the social form in it is still in an uncivilized period, similar to the early human beings between the Stone Age and the Bronze Age, but as the recent pioneers have shown, the different world is happening. With drastic changes of the times.

Now let the famous sociologist Professor Luo comment in detail.

...

He has always been very interested in programs from different worlds. Chen Shouyi simply sat on the sofa and watched them with great interest. After watching them for a while, he turned his head and asked suspiciously, Why didn't you do your homework today?

Chen Xingyue kept staring at the screen, expressionless said: I have already been escorted by the Beijing Martial Arts Academy.

What! Chen Shouyi turned his head in surprise, and stammered a little: You...you have passed the martial artist apprentice examination.

Not yet, but it's coming soon. My teacher estimates that after practicing for another month, I will be able to pass the examination.

But……

This year, the school has 30 guaranteed places, and three are allocated to the first year of senior high school. I am one of them. Chen Xingyue interrupted immediately before Chen Shouyi could ask a question.

This calm and natural tone almost made Chen Shouyi go astray.

The martial arts academy and the college entrance examination are staggered, and the enrollment is in the spring, which means that his sister, who is two years younger than him, will graduate from high school half a year earlier than him.

You haven't told your parents yet?

Of course such an important matter should be discussed at night! Chen Xingyue said.

Chen Shouyi said angrily, Then why did you tell me first?

Who told you to be my own brother? Of course I have to tell you the good news first! Chen Xingyue finally couldn't hold back anymore, and a big smile appeared on his face.

What an annoying sister, her heart is probably dark.

Chen Shouyi was beaten to pieces, but he still tried his best to control the muscles in his face that were about to twist, shut his mouth, and listen to her again, he might be about to suffer internal injuries.

He stared at the TV tightly, but just now he was watching the program he was enjoying, but now he was bored watching it. Thinking of his gloomy future, he couldn't sit still anymore, picked up his schoolbag:

I went to read a book.

Eat now!

Don't eat... Uh, I will send it to the bedroom later.

Walking to his bedroom and closing the door, Chen Shouyi immediately showed frustration. Why were the girls in the class so cute, but his sister was so annoying.

This is blatant showing off, rubbing salt in his wounds!

He took out the math textbook from his schoolbag, but he was so upset that he couldn't read it.

He pushed away the math book and walked to the window cabinet in the bedroom, ready to change his mood.

The window cabinet is his bookshelf, and also his collection room. In addition to various reference books and anthologies, there are also many items from different worlds. These things are his favorite.

Bronze axes, leather shields, a few stone slabs carved with mysterious totems, and a few wooden signs with weird styles give people a wild atmosphere.

However, these were all imitations bought from a handicraft store, and even a layman like Chen Shouyi could tell them apart at a glance.

The material of the bronze ax is obviously a product of industrial smelting, and the hide of the shield is also tanned from old cowhide. As for the totems on the slate, there is no trace of time at all, and even the stone is granite that can be seen everywhere on the earth.

However, not all of them were imitations. For one of them, Chen Shouyi suspected that it should be the original product of another world.

This is a rotten board.

It is dark in color, extremely poor in quality, almost rotten, and full of holes on it, as if it had been eaten away by termites. This phenomenon shows that its original body is likely to be some kind of supernatural item, with extraordinary origin and priceless value.

Until the earth, these supernatural forces disintegrated, and the material corroded rapidly.

It has become a real rotten board. Even if it is thrown on the ground, no one will pick it up if it meets an ignorant person.

In fact, it was true. This piece of rotten wood was picked up by Chen Shouyi at a demolition site as he passed by, and he immediately felt like a treasure.

He opened the cupboard and took out this rotten board.

Under the corrosion of the rules of this universe, the interior of the wooden board has become full of holes, but he can still feel that its material is still extremely hard, faintly showing the extraordinaryness of the original body.

Several mysterious patterns can be vaguely seen on the mottled surface of the board.

He has studied it before. This is a narrative painting. Many ancient murals on the earth are in this form. It seems to describe the major development process of some other world civilizations.

In that world, humans used fire for the first time.

First use of text.

...

On the upper left corner of each painting was a mysterious and complicated emblem, each of which was different. As Chen Shouyi, who often watched other world explanation programs, he knew for a long time that this was the logo of a different world god, and there was more than one.

It's a pity that this is useless, no matter how mysterious the item falls to the earth, it will also become ordinary.

He lightly stroked the wooden board, and let out an unknown number of sighs, if only this thing really had supernatural powers.

He couldn't help but giggle when he thought of holding the wooden plank in his hand and countless bright rays of light swaying the earth.
