Chapter 187: Chapter 190 - Starting with Soul Land, One Trial Card a Day

"It's been three years. I've been in this world for three years now. It's a pity I don't have any cheat codes. Tonight is the night to decide my fate."

Whether you become a superior person or a corporate slave depends on whether fate will be on your side tomorrow.

An Pingping -looking man lay on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling, muttering to himself.

Lu Xuan, that's his name.

Originally just a corporate slave in China, working 996 every day, Lu Xuan woke up one night to find himself transmigrated into the body of a boy with the same name in a parallel universe. Lu Xuan wondered if he had died suddenly from overwork.

This young man named Lu Xuan happened to be in the midst of a huge tragedy. Overnight, all his parents and relatives died, and he himself was left in a hospital bed, in a vegetative state.

If it weren't for the arrival of Lu Xuan from the Celestial Empire, this young man named Lu Xuan would probably have died lying in his sickbed.

The boy, who miraculously woke up, underwent a drastic personality change, as if he were a completely different person.

To outsiders, this situation was all due to the family's pitiful circumstances, and no one doubted that she had already usurped the family's place.

When Lu Xuan Lu Xuan up, government officials quickly came to comfort him and compensated him with a large sum of money, enough for an ordinary person to live on for three lifetimes as long as they didn't cause trouble.

In addition, Lu Xuan was given a luxury villa, the kind that an ordinary person couldn't afford even if they worked for three lifetimes. Moreover, the villa area was full of high-ranking officials and nobles, so even if you had money, you couldn't buy one.

As for their original home, it had long been razed to the ground. Although the land deed and house deed were still in effect, the house itself was long gone, reduced to ruins in the aftermath of a battle.

Later, Lu Xuan learned that his family had unfortunately become the battlefield between two reincarnators, and everyone in his family except himself had died on the spot.

During this time, Lu Xuan inquired about which reincarnator was fighting here, but the officials refused to mention it and did not reveal any information.

However, after years of investigation, Lu Xuan learned from an unnamed official that the woman was a kind-hearted and important figure. At the time, she was chasing a reincarnated person who had committed a crime. Although she eventually captured the criminal, she was unable to protect her own family.

Out of compassion and guilt, the other party made a special request to treat the sole survivor, Lu Xuan, well. Only then did Lu Xuan receive such generous compensation. Otherwise, under normal circumstances, he would be lucky to get one-tenth of what he deserved, and he would also have to be wary of someone trying to profit from it, not to mention the luxurious villa that the other party had privately gifted him.

As for the name of this kind person, the officials didn't know either; they couldn't find any information about reincarnated beings.

Thanks to the influence of that important figure, Lu Xuan was even admitted to the best high school in the area without taking the entrance exam.

And so, over these three years, Lu Xuan gradually came to understand what kind of world this was. It was probably a parallel world to Earth, with time roughly equivalent to 2017 in another timeline of China.

This world was normal before the Ming Dynasty's carpenter emperor Emperor Tianqi. However, after Zhu Youjian, the Emperor Chongzhen, ascended the throne in the history of the Celestial Empire, the style of this world began to change. Of course, the Emperor Chongzhen in this world was not like the Chongzhen Emperor in the Celestial Chongzhen, who was manipulated by civil officials in the early stages and later became a ruler who brought about the downfall of his country.

Zhu Youjiao in this world is incredibly powerful, practically cheating. He not only easily solved the domestic famine problem and prevented many rebellions, but also heavily relied on capable ministers and generals such as Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to defeat the wild boars and Mongolian tribes on the grasslands. Lu Xuan strongly suspects that he, like himself, is also a transmigrator from the Celestial Empire.

Of course, besides his various precognitive maneuvers, the Paradise and the Reincarnators also deserve credit. If the Reincarnators hadn't brought various high-yield seeds and advanced technologies from the Paradise Space, Zhu Youjiao would have had a hard time achieving these things.

After clearing away domestic troubles, Zhu Youjiao turned his attention to the sea, aiming to colonize the world and use global resources to support the Da Ming.

As the world's most powerful reincarnator, Zhu Youjiao single-handedly ruled the entire world. During Zhu Youjiao's reign, no one in the world dared to harbor any thoughts of resistance.

However, after Zhu Youjiao, and with the other oppressed colony reincarnators also growing up, they began to have the will and ability to resist.

Then, many countries broke away from the control of the Da Ming Empire, and thus, a massive global war broke out.

Although Paradise has sealed most of the reincarnators' abilities, for high-level reincarnators, even a tiny bit of power is enough to make them human nuclear bombs. It is said that some reincarnators, even when suppressed by Paradise, still have the ability to destroy the Earth.

That world war lasted for nearly a century. Before the war, the global population exceeded 10 billion, but after the war, the global population was less than 1 billion. Over the past century, the death toll has exceeded 30 billion, which led to the current landscape of three major empires, three major powers, and hundreds of smaller countries.

The three great empires refer to the Da Ming Empire, the Empire of Great Britain, and the Indian Empire, while the three great powers are Rus', Prussia, and France.

The place where Lu Xuan is now is Hongdu County, Gan Province Hongdu Commandery City, in the Da Ming Empire.

The administrative hierarchy of the Da Ming Empire was: village-town-county-prefecture city (special administrative region, colony)-provincial city (special administrative region, colony).

"Lu Xuan, stand up and explain this problem to me."

Lu Xuan jumped up immediately.

Lu Xuan: Oh no! I didn't sleep a wink last night and I actually fell asleep in class! Oh my god.

Lu Xuan honestly replied, "No."

"Then stand up! Wake up!"

"Class, look, this problem can be solved by doing this, this, and this. Got it?..."

Well!

What bad luck!

I waited all night last night, but I didn't get the result I wanted, so I kept dozing off in class this morning.

Still asleep. Looks like I'll be going to the office for a cup of tea again today.

Today is my 18th birthday!

I wasn't chosen by the Paradise, but the teacher called my name! Damn it!

Hongcheng No. 1 Experimental Middle School, as its name suggests, is the top-ranked middle school in Hongdu Commandery City. It includes primary, junior high, and senior high sections. We'll leave the primary section aside for now; the junior and senior high sections are...
