Chapter 1: The Magical World
The emergence of genetic abilities has propelled the entire world into a state of rapid development
The world is thus changed
This afternoon at 6:00 PM, a minor earthquake occurred in the city, resulting in the collapse of the city library and causing one fatality. According to investigations by relevant authorities, this may be related to substandard construction practices...
A long time
Indeed, I overthought it
Surrounded by darkness, the faint glow flickering on his wrist only allowed him to see that this was a cave, with only darkness beyond.
Once the wristband is activated, you can monitor your own status
It is truly ... ...
Brush!
His misfortune has never changed
Absorb all luck? This damned pirated book doesn't mention it at all! The Stone of Destiny has absorbed for twenty years without activation; what will happen if all luck is absorbed in an instant?
This world is somewhat similar to Earth, yet vastly different. After significant breakthroughs in genetic research, the entire world has entered the era of genetics. Humanity is not only able to develop its own potential but can also fuse genes with genetically mutated organisms, allowing nearly everyone to possess genetic abilities
However
City Library
Chen Feng did not hesitate at all and immediately turned to run outside
As of now, the development progress on the mainland is only 18%
His father was an archaeologist who spent his entire life excavating ancient artifacts but found nothing of value, instead burying himself in his work. There is not much information left about the Stone of Destiny. Over the years, he has visited various strange places, yet he has never encountered the so-called Stone of Destiny.
He is very skeptical
Chen Feng's expression changed dramatically
He closed the book
The young man murmured to himself, feeling somewhat disappointed
Feeling sore all over, he was about to leave when he suddenly froze. Among the pile of ancient books that had fallen, there was one book that caught his attention.
Chen Feng smiled helplessly
This world is even more wonderful than he imagined
How is this possible
Chen Feng looked on with some confusion
numb
He has tried everything that represents luck, but all have been ineffective
He was certainly excited, for that damned misfortune had finally disappeared! But what kind of world is this? At that moment, all the memories of the original owner surged forth.
Chen Feng flipped through his memories and was instantly awestruck
For example, the founder of Storm Technology, the largest technology company in the world, Luo Yuan
Is this the Stone of Destiny
Where exactly are you
Chen Feng sighed and, with an impassive demeanor, took out some alcohol from his backpack to disinfect the wound, then wrapped his hand in gauze. As someone who gets injured every day, his backpack is like a small first aid kit.
Chen Feng muttered a curse under his breath
As of today, this world is not only an era of genes but also an era of data
Chen Feng is excited
Absorb the luck of the surroundings
Let's go
However, at that moment, the entire library shook as if it were an earthquake
According to his incomplete statistics, up to now, he has been extorted by old ladies eighty-five times, involved in car accidents thirty-six times, visited by thieves seventy-six times, fallen into sewers ten times, chased and bitten by dogs fifteen times, and the fact that he has managed to live this long despite all these misfortunes is already a miracle
His purpose for coming here today is also to search for the legendary 'Lucky Artifact'
This is merely a part
The young man let out a bitter smile; he had been careful enough, yet he did not expect to be injured by the pages of the book. However, he was not surprised; to be more precise, he had grown accustomed to it.
Chen Feng was shocked
This world is not lacking in resources
A strange gleam flashed by
He does not believe in this, but the experiences he has gone through from childhood to adulthood compel him to accept that luck does exist in this world, and what has accompanied him throughout his life is misfortune. Therefore, since he became aware, he has been perusing all kinds of mythological biographies in search of anything that could change his luck.
Unlike the near depletion of Earth's resources, which compels the search for extraterrestrial planets
A sharp pain
Moreover
Chen Feng took a look and found it not too difficult; all he needed to do was arrange a formation with his own blood and then place the Stone of Destiny in the center.
Some individuals utilize these abilities in their work, becoming industry elites. Meanwhile, others, after integrating genes, possess extraordinary combat power and are referred to as gene warriors
At the age of one, he nearly choked to death while drinking milk; at three, his mother passed away; at five, his father died; at ten, the orphanage he was in closed down; he was later sent to another orphanage. By the time he reached adulthood, a total of thirteen orphanages he had been in had closed for various reasons
The library was about to close, and Chen Feng was preparing to leave. As he slipped, he stumbled and bumped into the nearby bookshelf, causing a stack of books to crash down with a clatter
a certain news channel
He felt something was amiss, but the temptation to rid himself of this damned misfortune was too great; he dreamed of casting it all away and living a life of his own
A moment of confusion in consciousness
For example, the volcano at the peak of the burning sky
Therefore
This page features an image of the Stone of Destiny, and it is also the first time Chen Feng truly sees the appearance of the Stone of Destiny; he is completely stunned
Chen Feng tore off the gauze
Chen Feng's consciousness returned as he slowly opened his eyes. The blurred world became clear, yet it remained shrouded in darkness, filled with a strange metallic smell nearby
Is it not possible to remove it using conventional methods
I have survived
This thing ... ...
Chen Feng's mind was in turmoil
Buzz
He looked at the place where he had fallen, noticing some water stains on the ground. Raising his head, he realized that this place had not been maintained for many years, and the roof was actually leaking.
Moreover
I knew it wouldn't go so smoothly
He has long bloodstains scratched on his hand
Chen Feng instinctively wanted to pull it down, but he couldn't move it at all
Boom
Once the Stone of Destiny is worn, it cannot be removed; only after it is activated can its power be controlled. If you happen to acquire it by chance, then activate it.
There is not ... ... still not ... ...
life
So simple
Boom
It is an object the size of a coin, with some strange patterns on it
This is the only relic left by my father, and it is also his sole spiritual support. He has never taken it off, and I never expected that when I wanted to take it off today, it would be utterly impossible to do so
Chen Feng chuckled at himself, but suddenly his expression stiffened
Similar places are everywhere
Blood trickled down the fingers, drawing a strange array on the wooden floor. Chen Feng's expression was more serious than ever as he knelt on the ground, placing the Stone of Destiny within it
The sky has already darkened
The formation of blood coagulation transformed into a flickering red light, and the Stone of Destiny emitted an astonishing halo. Just as Chen Feng was filled with excitement, he saw a line of small characters reflected in the red light: "When the Stone of Destiny is activated, it will absorb all luck in the surrounding area to replenish the energy required for the operation of the Stone of Destiny"
For example, the ice fields of the extreme north
It is rumored that a certain special power affects that place, causing time to be nearly frozen, and those who step in are unable to escape for eternity. The Gene Guild once dispatched a small team of genetic warriors there, and they have never been heard from again
Give it a try
It is rumored that the Stone of Destiny possesses extraordinary powers; however, utilizing it is not an easy task. Before the Stone of Destiny is officially activated, it continuously absorbs the luck from its surroundings, and only after accumulating sufficient luck can it be unlocked. Therefore, if one does not possess the adequate ability to activate it, then having it may turn into a nightmare for you
Transport beads, jade carp, four-leaf clover
Chen Feng was somewhat curious; there are actually books about luck
Chen Feng frowned slightly
Or rather, is this a replica made by my father
shake one's head
Chen Feng suppressed the sudden shock and continued to look further down
He has crossed over
The item that this father obtained during his archaeological endeavors, the gift he presented to me upon my birth, is also the only relic he left for me. Could it really be the Stone of Destiny? Yet, if it is indeed the Stone of Destiny, how could I still be so unfortunate?
He carefully opened it, and the extensive introduction covered various bizarre fortunes, from cosmic star signs to zodiac signs. Many of the claims he had seen in other books, and most of the content was nonsensical. This book resembled a pirated compilation that would typically cost 20 yuan.
Title: "Fortune"
Chen Feng calmed down and looked down again
It is rumored that there lies a slumbering ancient mutated beast, which once drank dry a river, and since then, that place has become a forbidden zone for humanity
Immediately following this, methods for activation are provided
He had initially researched various mythologies and biographies, and naturally read quite a few novels. Reflecting on the golden light he saw before his death, Chen Feng began to understand that the Stone of Destiny absorbed all luck, triggering an earthquake. However, the successfully activated Stone of Destiny allowed him to survive against all odds and traverse to this place
The Stone of Destiny: The legendary artifact of fortune.
Rely on it
Because on the new page he turned to, a name suddenly appeared—The Stone of Destiny
He felt cold all over, and he finally understood where his misfortune came from! This fate stone, which his father unearthed from the ancient tomb, had taken away everything he had!
This continent, this planet, is humanity's greatest treasure! This world has its own moon and sun, and it is a place that bears a striking resemblance to Earth, except for its size! The volume of this planet is countless times that of Earth! The land area is vast and boundless, exceeding that of Earth by more than ten thousand times!
Where is this place
It no longer matters from which ancient texts it was pirated, as the introduction to the Stone of Destiny here is surprisingly detailed like never before
Chen Feng's voice trembled slightly, not because of the appearance of this object, but because of this object...! Chen Feng's hands shook a bit as he pulled open his collar, revealing the item he wore around his neck, which was precisely the Fate Stone mentioned in this book
Until one day, he came across some written records in the materials left by his father, which mentioned the Stone of Destiny. According to legend, possessing it would change one's fate
As I turned to the next page following the introduction, my eyes suddenly widened
He has no idea at all
His name is Chen Feng, and he is twenty-two years old. From the day he was born, misfortune has accompanied him
Chen Feng was completely unable to escape before being engulfed by the countless boulders, and everything before him turned pitch black as he lost consciousness. In a vague recollection, he only remembered a brilliant golden light flashing from the Stone of Destiny around his neck
An earthquake has occurred
Again like this
It is indeed true
A darkness looms before me
A brilliant light flickered in Chen Feng's eyes
Chen Feng was so excited that his mouth was dry and his tongue was parched
Does that thing really exist
This thing
In the rumors, there exists a power that transcends ordinary strength; it is invisible and intangible, yet it influences everything. To this day, no one knows what kind of power it truly is, only that it may be related to luck. The Stone of Destiny possesses the power to control it
No, merely staying alive is already very difficult. Every time I go out, I must be on high alert, and if I let my guard down even slightly, I could very well die on the way!
Even though human technological standards have reached a level where traveling to other planets is easily achievable, there are still many places on this planet that humanity dares not venture into
Looking at the bracelet on my wrist that glimmers with a faint light, and feeling the memories that do not belong to me at all, I suddenly come to a realization
Some individuals continuously merge genes, possessing extraordinary combat power, while others, through the constant merging of genes, have transformed and developed remarkable genetic abilities
It has been accomplished
... ...
His demands are not high; he simply wishes to live like an ordinary person, and nothing more.
In comparison, today's events are hardly significant
Chen Feng couldn't help but curse
However, after years of experimentation, Luoyuan extracted those profound and mysterious energies and created a type of wristband that anyone can wear, thus creating a legendary era
Strange, am I not dead?
Fake
To him, the world is a battlefield everywhere
Misfortune has struck again
Chen Feng was shocked
This is a dangerous world, and it is also a magical world
Night
Moreover, every time he goes out, something is bound to happen
Not good
According to the memories of the original owner, the wonders of the genetic era have given rise to many astonishing technological devices
In a historical area that had not been trodden for a long time, covered with a thick layer of dust, a young man is searching for something within it
The Stone of Destiny, have I always carried it with me
His ability is data-driven, allowing the holder to unleash some mysterious powers to detect their genetic state, mental state, and even assess the techniques they have mastered based on the degree of muscle memory. Due to his non-combat type genes, he has been looked down upon by countless people.
