"What's happening? I was just in a busy city full of people, and now I'm suddenly here?"
Standing on an old, dusty road, Chen Mo looked around in confusion. Everything felt strange and unfamiliar.
"Wait, I remember now! I picked up a watch from the ground. It looked really fancy, so I got curious and put it on my wrist. Then, out of nowhere, my vision went blurry, and the next thing I knew, I ended up here."
As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Chen Mo quickly glanced at his left wrist.
Just as he expected, a light gold watch was strapped around it.
The band was covered in strange markings that looked like ancient runes, and instead of normal numbers, the watch face had twelve mysterious symbols. Anyone who saw it would immediately know that this watch was anything but ordinary.
"Could this watch be some kind of magical treasure? Did it really send me through time?" he murmured in disbelief.
In the Celestial Empire, almost everyone had heard of time travel—it was a common theme in books, movies, and legends.
But no matter how much someone knew about it, actually experiencing it was a completely different feeling. When it really happened, accepting it wasn't so easy.
After all, Chen Mo is already 22 years old, and he is not an orphan who can be free from worries.
You know, Chen Mo's parents are still alive, and he has a younger sister who is two years younger than him.
"Damn it! I never wanted to travel through time!"
Chen Mo's mind was in chaos. He took a deep breath, trying to calm down, but panic kept creeping in.
"First of all, I don't have any special skills or superpowers. I'm just an ordinary guy. And second, I'm not even good at history! If I ended up in some fantasy world, I wouldn't be a hero with powerful abilities. If I got sent back in time, I wouldn't know anything useful to survive."
The more he thought about it, the more frustrated he became. "No matter where I ended up, I'd just be a nobody! How am I supposed to survive like this?"
Looking at the empty ancient road, Chen Mo roared miserably.
"The spatial coordinates are locked, and the energy is fully charged. Do you want to return to your original world now?"
Just as Chen Mo finished shouting, a mysterious voice echoed in his ears.
"It's you… Wait, my watch can actually talk?"
Chen Mo wasn't too shocked about the possibility of returning to Earth. What truly surprised him was that the watch had a voice of its own.
"Correction! I am not a mere watch. I am the Lord God Optical Computer, created by the 'Empire of the Gods.' I was awakened by the host's blood and transported the host to a lower world for protection."
The sound of the watch came again, clearing up some of Chen Mo's doubts.
"Blood? Oh, I scratched my left wrist the day before yesterday, and it happened to touch the wound when I was wearing the watch." Chen Mo couldn't suppress the shock in his heart.
"But what exactly is that Gods Empire and the Lord God Optical Computer?"
Because no matter whether the watch was real or fake, he knew he was lucky.
"Insufficient authority to open the database! Host, please build the Lord God base as soon as possible and obtain the initial authority of the Lord God optical computer."
The Lord God's optical computer actually made a request, which was to let Chen Mo build the Lord God's base.
"How do I build a base?"
At this point, Chen Mo was no longer in a hurry to return to Earth.
The Lord God's optical computer has already said that it can send him back. In addition, he is on vacation today and there is nothing to do when he goes back. He might as well take the opportunity to learn about the Lord God's optical computer.
After all, this is the legendary super plug-in. Once you master it, it will definitely be the pace to the peak of your life.
"To build a Level 0 Lord God base, 100 tons of wood are needed."
The Lord God's optical computer gave the requirements for establishing a base.
"If it's just 100 tons of wood, it won't be difficult! However, the base must not be built on Earth. You know, there are a lot of satellites in the sky above the Earth. Once the Lord God Base is noticed by the satellites, I will be in trouble."
After learning that the Lord God base needed wood, Chen Mo gave up the idea of building a base on Earth.
Then he turned his gaze to his surroundings.
"There is a forest next to it, and the Lord God's optical computer said that this is a safe world with low-level civilization, so establishing a base here should be the right choice."
Chen Mo's thoughts raced. He knew that the Lord God's optical computer would not bring him into this world for no reason.
Maybe the Lord God's optical computer has the same idea as Chen Mo's.
Snap! Snap!
Just as Chen Mo was thinking, there was a sudden sound of horse hooves.
"There are people! They are riding horses, wearing armor, and holding swords as their weapons."
Following the source of the sound, Chen Mo soon saw a large group of armored soldiers walking towards him.
There were about three or four hundred soldiers.
Among them, there were only fifty or sixty cavalrymen, and the rest were all infantry.
In the center of these soldiers, there were a few relatively luxurious carriages.
At the back, there are several horse-drawn carriages that are specially used to transport goods.
"It seems that this is a world similar to the ancient Celestial Empire. And the convoy in front of us is obviously from a wealthy family."
Although Chen Mo didn't know the identity of the owner of the convoy, judging from the fact that this team was escorted by hundreds of soldiers, he knew that the owner of the convoy should have some power.
"It's better to arrive by chance than to arrive in time. Since you have met me, I will give you an opportunity."
Chen Mo watched the convoy getting closer and closer to him and secretly made a decision.
....
Not far away.
The team of soldiers heading towards Chen Mo had already discovered Chen Mo.
only...
Since Chen Mo was alone and didn't have any weapons, the soldiers didn't see him as a big threat. Instead, they just kept an eye on him from a distance, watching his every move.
"The young man ahead is acting strange," one of the soldiers murmured. "Most people would step aside or try to hide when they see an army approaching, but he's just standing there in the middle of the road, not moving an inch. It looks like he's actually waiting for us."
As the convoy got closer, now less than a kilometer away, the general leading the soldiers finally realized—Chen Mo wasn't just standing there by accident. He had a reason for facing them head-on.
"No, I must go and inform the adults."
After walking a few dozen meters, the general finally rode his horse to the carriage in the middle, and then said to the window: "Sir Wang, there is a young man from a noble family standing in the middle of the road ahead, but he is dressed in strange clothes and is alone, which is very strange."
Chen Mo was wearing casual clothes. In the eyes of these soldiers, he looked not just weird, but extremely weird.
"Captain Li, are you sure there's only one person?"
The person in the car obviously didn't care too much about this matter. He only cared about the number of people.
"Sir, you are sure that the man is alone, and we are less than a day's journey away from Fengyuan City. No robbers dare to appear here." Captain Li answered very affirmatively.
"That's good. If that man wants to take a ride later, have the servants make room for him in a car, give him the best food, and have the soldiers treat him with courtesy."
The king thought for a moment and made a decision.
"yes!"
After receiving the order, Captain Li took the lead in riding away from the convoy and ran towards Chen Mo alone.
...
Chen Mo, standing in the middle of the road, was observing the changes in the opposite convoy.
So when Captain Li ran towards him, Chen Mo said in his heart: "Here he comes!"
"Excuse me, sir! I am Li Tie, the man who is escorting a nobleman to Fengyuan City. I wonder why you are standing in the middle of the road?"
When Captain Li, also known as Li Tie, came to Chen Mo, he first exchanged some polite words and introduced himself, and then began to ask Chen Mo why he was standing in the middle of the road.
Chen Mo had expected that Li Fuchang would say this, so he smiled slightly, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "Nothing else! I am standing here because I calculated that there is someone in the carriage behind me who has a master-disciple relationship with me, so I came here to wait."
What he meant was very simple, that is, I am here to accept a disciple, and the disciple is in the car behind.
"Take in a disciple? How dare you! Do you know who is in this car?"
After hearing what Chen Mo said, Li Fuchang was stunned. He never thought that Chen Mo's reason was this. He also said angrily: "If you said you came to me to become my disciple, I would believe you. But now it seems that you have evil intentions."
"I came here because of fate. No matter who is inside, he will become my disciple. This is determined by heaven and cannot be stopped by human power."
Chen Mo has watched many TV dramas in ancient times and knows that people in ancient times attached great importance to destiny and fate, so he simply pretended to be profound and stunned Captain Li.
In fact, if an ordinary person said this, Captain Li might have taken the other person down immediately.
Although Chen Mo was not very old, his clothes, appearance and shoes were too weird. It was definitely the first time he had seen such things in his life.
Coupled with Chen Mo's expression, Captain Li actually believed what Chen Mo said.
However, if Chen Mo could not produce strong evidence, he would not risk passing Chen Mo's words to Lord Wang in the car.
"It seems you still don't want to believe me!" Chen Mo naturally saw that Li Fuchang was hesitating, so he immediately took out his cell phone from his pocket and murmured, "Well, today I will make an exception and let you, a mortal, take a peek at my magic weapon."
"magic weapon?"
When Captain Li heard about the two "magic weapons", he was shocked and drew out the big knife from his waist, ready to attack at any time.
When he performed this set of actions, Chen Mo was really scared.
Chen Mo knew that what he had in his hand was not a magic weapon, but just a mobile phone.
That's right, he was planning to use the cell phone to fool the people inside.
Anyway, this is an ancient world, and the shocking effect of mobile phones on them is definitely a powerful magic weapon.
"Take this to your master. If he doesn't want to see me after seeing this, then I will leave naturally."
Chen Mo handed over the phone carefully, keeping an eye on Captain Li's sword.
To be honest, he was really afraid that this Li Fuchang would attack him regardless of the consequences.
That would mean dying before accomplishing anything.
"This is the magic weapon, why is there someone inside it!"
Captain Li held the phone in one hand. After seeing the screen on the phone, his body couldn't help but tremble. He even lost control of the big knife in his hand and it fell to the ground.
