The Beginning of the World: Going to the Countryside as an Educated Youth

Zhao Dongchuan guessed that according to the level division, the most bronze-colored treasure chests should be the lowest-level treasure chests, and bronze, silver, black, gold, and purple gold should be ranked from low to high. Of course, the specific division depends on what is revealed, and these are just his own guesses.

No other changes have been seen for the time being, and there is no other movement in the system. The random release of tasks is a bit confusing. It seems that I still need to get in touch with more plot characters and plot developments, so that I can probably trigger the system tasks, Zhao Dongchuan thought.

Thinking of this, Zhao Dongchuan didn't bother to rest anymore. He prepared to go out for a walk. It was still early anyway, and he had just sat for a while and took a rest. He might as well go out for a walk. What if a task is triggered? Zhao Dongchuan thought happily and went out.

After I came out, I realized that everyone was still at work and hadn't come back yet.

There were not many people in the village, so Zhao Dongchuan just walked along. After the Waking of Insects, the Loess Plateau was still in winter, with the grass and trees in the mountains and fields dry and black, and a desolate scene. It gave a bleak feeling just looking at it.

As I walked, a figure vaguely appeared in front of me. He was wearing a loose and tattered cotton-padded jacket with a large pocket sewn on the front with white thread, and a tattered felt hat on his head. He looked around here and there, and muttered something in his mouth, but I couldn't hear what he was saying clearly.

When I got closer, I found that it was a slovenly old man with a strange smell on his body. He had an abnormal smile on his face and kept saying "The world is changing! The world is changing!"

Zhao Dongchuan seemed to have some impression of this person. This person was Tian Er, a simple-minded old man from Shuangshui Village, who had some mental problems.

"Ding, triggering the novice mission, mission content: help Tian Er find 10 pieces of exquisite porcelain fragments. Mission time limit: 48 hours, mission reward: 10 lottery opportunities, mission failure: no penalty, completion progress: 0/10," a crisp system voice sounded in the mind.

Zhao Dongchuan was a little confused and overwhelmed by this sudden task.

Unexpectedly, the first task triggered by the system fell on Tian Er.

It is hard to say whether he is lucky or unlucky. He is lucky because the task is triggered and the "Newbie Gift Pack" is about to be given. Now Zhao Dongchuan is in urgent need of understanding the rules and capabilities of the system. He is unlucky because the clothes of this silly old man have not been washed for many years and are stinking of sweat, grass, dirt, cow dung and his own urine. But this is not the key point. He is not a pretentious person. It is nothing to complete the task.

The problem is that he has already taken a day off and didn't go to work. If he doesn't go tomorrow, the positive image he has worked so hard to restore will be ruined.

At this moment, Zhao Dongchuan thought of several methods and their feasibility, and finally decided to try his best to complete the task today. He had already taken a day off today, and he was not hungry anyway. He planned to follow Tian Er to "pick up trash". If he couldn't do it today, he would have to take a leave tomorrow. His image could be saved later, but the mission must not fail.

Zhao Dongchuan thought so and said to Tian Er, "Second Uncle, did you pick up any treasures today?"

"Things are going to change!" "Things are going to change!" Tian Er muttered to himself and ignored Zhao Dongchuan.

Zhao Dongchuan also looked depressed. He originally thought that this task was simple, but he didn't expect that he couldn't carry out the first step. What should he do? Zhao Dongchuan was at a loss.

At this time, he deeply felt the malice of the system.

What to do? Zhao Dongchuan followed Tian Er and thought of a solution. Suddenly, he saw the task progress in his mind became "1/10". He immediately went to Tian Er and watched him holding a dusty porcelain piece in his hand and stuffing it into his coat pocket.

Zhao Dongchuan suddenly had an idea. Does this count? Then he would follow Tian Er. If Tian Er found a piece, it would count as his progress in the task. He would also take the initiative to find the porcelain pieces. After finding them, he would give them to Tian Er and let him put them in his big pocket. This should be possible. After all, the task was to help Tian Er. At this moment, Zhao Dongchuan's thoughts became clearer.

So Zhao Dongchuan immediately did what he said, and while it was still dark, he followed Tian Er, checking the ground around him as he walked, not missing any corners. He also picked up a branch and rummaged through the grass from time to time, and finally found another porcelain piece. He handed it to Tian Er. Tian Er saw someone handing him something, and he took it with his hand without caring what it was, and put it in his big pocket without even looking at it.

This continued until the sun set, when the evening glow illuminated this unique "junk-picking duo" of one old and one young on the Loess Plateau. They were like industrious little bees, tirelessly searching the ground, as if they wanted to put all the small things into their pockets.

Their shadows were stretched out, like two jugglers on stilts, swaying.

"Ding, mission progress: 8/10"

Before they knew it, or how much time had passed, they saw the sun had gone down, the sky had darkened, and they could no longer see the ground. After their unremitting efforts, they found about twenty pieces of porcelain tiles in total, and the progress bar was finally almost completed.

Not every piece of porcelain is recognized by the system, only those with exquisite patterns are considered good. But Zhao Dongchuan couldn't tell whether these pieces of porcelain covered with dirt and dust were good or bad. Based on the principle of rather killing by mistake than letting go, he stuffed them into Tian Er's hands no matter what they were.

I don't know when, Tian Er stood up and stopped looking around. Instead, he walked slowly in one direction with his body huddled up.

Zhao Dongchuan probably knew at this time that Tian Er was probably going back home, as he had a son at home who was just as silly as him.

After bending over and squatting to search all the way, Zhao Dongchuan was a little tired. There were only two pieces left. He would get up earlier tomorrow and look for them again. If he could find Tian Er and hand them over to him before the task expired, the task would be completed. He was looking forward to seeing what treasures could be found in the system treasure chest.

Zhao Dongchuan was also about to go home. He was very hungry and planned to have a meal at home and cook some corn cobs.

On the way home, Zhao Dongchuan met many villagers who were returning home for dinner after work. He greeted them politely regardless of whether he knew them or not. During the trip, he also met Sun Shaoan, and Zhao Dongchuan also greeted him and said, "Shaoan, you are finishing work."

"Yes, today we turned the soil over in the fields on the mountain. Yes, you have to come to work tomorrow, and don't ask for leave, or the team members will have complaints."

"Okay, I know. I have finished my work today and will go to work tomorrow," Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.

"Well, that's right. I'm going home. Let's go," said Sun Shaoan. His two long legs were like a Hot Wheels and he walked with the wind. No wonder He Xiu Lian liked him so much.

Zhao Dongchuan didn't say anything either. He just followed behind and went home.

When Zhao Dongchuan got home, he made a fire and cooked. He took out a few corn cobs from the bottom of the box and started cooking.
