Chapter 001: To Become Rich, First Cultivate the Trees

No human remains were observed

At this moment, Stephen Zhou felt as if his head were a mass of mush. He shook his head and lay back on the ground, and it took more than ten minutes for the sensation of dizziness to gradually fade away

What a treasure!

The members of the chaotic faction are indeed this confident

Furthermore, he is still missing a piece of clothing

Stephen Zhou selected a piece of high-quality wood, then gently traced his finger across the surface, revealing an astonishingly smooth cut. His finger seemed to function as the sharpest and most precise scalpel, and within just a few minutes, he had crafted a wooden spatula.

Why do I still feel a bit dizzy now

Barehanded, one can uproot a large tree

The trees in this world are quite robust, and one can see many trees that are large enough for several people to embrace scattered throughout the forest. The interior of the forest gives Stephen a slight sense of danger, so he does not dare to approach too closely, instead choosing a tree with a diameter of about 1 meter on the outskirts.

Stephen Zhou opened his mouth and spat out a trace of blood, then holding the golden seed in his hand, said: "Hmm! ... ... It seems it is inedible ... ... "

To become wealthy, one must first shake the tree

Fortunately, on the road of exile, the void fleet responsible for escorting him encountered a temporal turbulence, allowing him to narrowly escape. This golden seed is the only object that emerged from the temporal turbulence

Stephen rubbed his belly. Although the alchemist possessed magical powers, many tasks were also quite physically demanding. He had always had a large appetite, and after a busy period, he already felt his stomach was empty.

There seems to be a powerful force in this seed! I wonder if it can be eaten?" Stephen Zhou said, and without hesitation, he directly threw the golden seed into his mouth. Immediately, with a crunch, he covered his jaw and let out a piercing scream.

The collected timber soon vanished into thin air

Very soon

This can avoid a considerable amount of danger, and it is only approaching noon now. It is certainly possible to construct a rudimentary underground shelter before dark.

A meteor streaks across the sky

This is a dense primeval forest, the species of trees are currently unclear, but each one grows particularly lush and tall, with those on the outskirts reaching over 20 meters in height, and many within the forest exceeding 100 meters.

Finally completed

As one of the strongest alchemists in history, Stephen is currently in a very weakened state. If he were to be placed in an even harsher environment, his situation would likely become much more difficult than it is now. His body is severely damaged, and the top-tier alchemical arrays inscribed within him have almost all become ineffective. He must find a way to restore his strength

The temperature is acceptable

Surrounding the area is a vast plain, but dozens of miles to the south, one can see an incredibly lush primeval forest. The loud noise startled many birds and beasts, and in an instant, a cacophony of strange sounds erupted. However, soon from the depths of the forest came a peculiar, muffled growl, and immediately everything fell silent again, as if nothing had just occurred.

Where is this

The safe base is temporarily located underground

Suddenly, he sprang up from the ground and stared blankly at the sky. With the arrival of dawn, a massive purple halo appeared in the sky, with three moons-sized satellites positioned at the upper, middle, and lower sections of the halo. Stephen Zhou shook his head to quickly regain his composure, then murmured to himself: "It seems I have been quite lucky this time, having landed on a planet with life."

Pah

Since one task has already been completed, it would be better to undertake another one.

Although the symptoms of diarrhea have not yet appeared, Stephen is increasingly convinced that he is experiencing oxygen intoxication.

Stephen shuddered involuntarily; in order to escape the temporal turbulence, he had nearly exhausted all his strength to break through the barriers of time and space. All of his legendary equipment had been rendered useless, and the demigod artifact forged from the blood of divine beings had turned to ashes. Now, he was even weaker than he had imagined.

A faint golden light emerged

Stephen finally recovered. He tried to jump in place and then murmured, "The gravity is quite significant. It seems to have a coefficient of 1.5. Judging by the halo in the sky, this planet resembles Saturn and appears to be quite large" (Note: The gravity coefficient of Blue Planet is 1)

Only a large pile of unusable branches and leaves was left behind. Stephen Zhou did not stray too far; he chose a flat piece of land one hundred meters away and then conjured up a large amount of timber to get busy.

Around dawn, a strange noise emanated from within the crater, and shortly thereafter, a young man, rather awkwardly, crawled out, completely naked and walking his bird.

Stephen Zhou needs to store some food

Stephen Zhou soon arrived at the edge of the forest

First, go find something to eat. If you can't get leather, then use leaves to make a piece of clothing to wear

He is an alchemist

Stephen Zhou shook his head and sighed, then, filled with energy, clenched his fists and began to strike the large tree in front of him, which was approximately 18 meters tall and 1 meter in diameter. An invisible white light appeared on his fists. After striking it more than ten times, the large tree in front of him collapsed with a loud crash, revealing an astonishingly smooth cross-section at the break, which looked nothing like it had been broken by bare hands.

Feeling the loss of power within him, Stephen Zhou's expression was somewhat conflicted. In the past, he would never have considered enchanting such a rudimentary wooden tool. However, he currently had nothing else at hand, and the efficiency of the wooden tool was indeed abysmal, so he could only make do with it for the time being

A triumphant smile

A gust of cold wind blew by

He looked at the golden seed in his palm with a smile, touching it up and down, murmuring: "It looks a bit like an acorn. I wonder which world it comes from? I really owe it to this seed; if I hadn't encountered it, I would probably have been exiled to the edge of the void for permanent imprisonment by now"

He first used a wooden shovel to level the ground and create a flat surface, then began to dig downwards. As a legendary alchemist, Stephen Zhou's method of digging completely defied common sense. The soil that was excavated formed individual one cubic meter blocks, which vanished at his touch. In about ten minutes, he had dug a pit measuring two meters in length, two meters in width, and reaching a depth of twenty meters.

I did not expect the loss to the body to be so significant! Even the constant alchemical markings have become ineffective!

fatigue, weakness, drowsiness, chest tightness, dizziness, diarrhea

Stephen Zhou tried to move his body a bit and felt dizzy, as if he were drunk. He couldn't help but take a deep breath and then exclaimed, "The oxygen level in this world seems a bit high! I think I am experiencing oxygen intoxication."

A remarkably handsome young man is running at high speed, completely unclothed. As he runs and leaps, his lower body sways rhythmically, exuding an air of freedom, exuberance, and wildness in this primitive and desolate world.

Oh my!

Forget it. I'll set this aside for further study later. First, I need to get some clothes, find something to eat, and then figure out a way to establish a safe base.

Time passes gradually

Stephen was now completely unclothed, but with a flick of his finger, the golden seed in his palm vanished without a trace. He glanced in the direction and ran towards the forest to the south. "Not bad luck. The demiplane I opened is still intact"

I am a bit hungry

Stephen Zhou took out the wooden ladder he had prepared long ago, and with a casual press against the smooth wall, it was firmly embedded in place. He climbed up the ladder to the ground, waved his hand over a flat area, and a mound of complete soil rose up out of thin air, forming a small hill.

At that moment, he grabbed it with all his might without a second thought, nearly exhausting all the legendary items on him

On the vast plain

With the completion of the two basic tools, Stephen Zhou immediately began his work

In a few minutes, a workbench measuring 1 meter in height, 2 meters in width, and 3 meters in length was completed. Stephen Zhou looked at it with satisfaction and said, "Although I haven't done this for many years, it is still at a master level. Haha!"

Stephen Zhou currently has nothing but wood in his possession, so he can only start by making this very basic workbench

Stephen Zhou looked at the tool before him and murmured with a hint of reluctance, "This is all the strength that remains."

I never expected that I would have a day to start over and cultivate trees from scratch

The absence of human remains underground suggests that the likelihood of human activity in this area was very low

But this is just a wooden shovel

As an alchemist who is not particularly skilled in direct combat, the Stephen family has always prioritized their own safety above all else

The emblem of the Stephen family, after striking down this large tree, Stephen Zhou immediately became busy, spending more than ten minutes chopping the entire tree into individual wooden blocks

Wooden Pickaxe (Durability LV1, Efficiency LV1)

By the way

The ordinary wooden shovel before me seems to be coated with some strange power, the wood grain becoming deeper, making it appear as if it were made of solid ironwood

Wooden Shovel (Durability LV1, Efficiency LV1)

Then he can first develop by mining underground, and then find a way to explore this world

Stephen picked up the heavy wooden pickaxe and then headed towards the forest in front of him. The oxygen level in this world was somewhat high, and just by observing the trees and vegetation, one could ascertain the presence of numerous large beasts. He could only hope that his luck would not be so poor and that he could find a smaller target to have a meal first

Stephen seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly, as if driven by desperation, he jumped into the crater, then emerged laughing, holding a peculiar golden seed.

Accompanied by a thunderous roar, a massive meteorite crater appeared on the ground

Stephen pulled a blade of grass from the ground and looked at it, then casually tossed it aside, saying: "What a stroke of luck, it actually fell onto a large Earth-like planet"

Approximately ten minutes later

Stephen has already reached the bedrock and has surveyed some underground areas. Where there are human activities, there are cemeteries, and burials will inevitably leave some traces.

Something is not right

The Stephen family is the most extraordinary alchemists in the universe, and every qualified Stephen alchemist can touch a thread of the power of the laws

First, let's get the shovel

This is a giant tree species

If one is without equipment and materials, it is essentially equivalent to being half useless

Due to the unauthorized study of forbidden techniques, Stephen Zhou has been sentenced to immediate life imprisonment.
