Mystery: Start with the Reader

My name is Liu Bo, and I have traveled through time!

When I woke up, I found that I was being held in an underground prison, surrounded by walls made of steel. Except for the occasional sound of banging metal, there was no other movement.

According to the memories I obtained, I know that my current body is only twenty years old, but I am already an "appraiser" of Sequence 7. I can rely on my own abilities to avoid the negative effects of magical items and play their role more perfectly. In this "steel city", you can already be regarded as a "soldier", and you have to go out of the city to complete exploration tasks from time to time.

The reason why I was imprisoned in this steel prison was because my team provoked a terrible monster. Most of the people in the team were "cursed" by it, and only a few escaped. In order to carry out screening, and also to "curse" "To stop spreading, the top management of "Steel City" made a strategy of imprisoning and isolating the entire team. Those who survive will be fine.

And the original owner is naturally not among the "few", so he died and I came.

It took me more than a month in prison before I was released, but there were still people around me who were secretly watching me. It wasn’t until half a year later that all the supervisors were withdrawn. With the golden finger I called the “Pure White Eyes”, I spotted these watchers easily.

After being released to freedom, I had to face a cruel reality... I traveled into a world in my previous life, even the worst environment in the book - the land abandoned by God!

Steel City is a city-state that has not been mentioned in the original work. It is located on an iron ore belt and has a small population. After struggling for survival for many years, the total number of people in the city is less than 2,000. Every person is very precious, so even if The original owner is very likely to be "cursed", but has still not been given up by the top management.

Because the population is small and every adult has a job, children are fed centrally. This has also led to the fact that there is no concept of "family" in the steel city. Even the first and last names have been cancelled, and there are only code names...

I don't like this. It always makes me feel like I'm a machine rather than a human... But I can also understand the choice of the top management of Steel City. After all, surnames and first names are just "luxury goods" for today's city-state.

If you want to change the system, you must first improve the quality of people's lives, and then find ways to get to the top and modify the system.

And the premise of everything is to improve your own strength first!

Fortunately, I have the help of "Pure White Eyes". Not only can I use its powerful "analytical" ability to understand the essence of things, but I can also see many things that others cannot find in the dark.

After I reached Sequence 5, I could even pray to him and complete high-sequence level ritual magic.

Therefore, "Ivens's Secret Barrier" and "Veolite's Perfect Restoration Technique" came out one after another, and I also won the appreciation of high-level officials with these two secret techniques.

Among them, Evans is the surname I chose for myself, which comes from another movie I liked in my previous life; while Violet is the surname I chose for my alchemy assistant... Of course, I prefer to call it the surname "artificial intelligence". .

Speaking of Violet, it is actually the "revengeful spirit" that originally cursed the original owner. He was a "shepherd" during his lifetime. I used the sealed object with the characteristics of the "ancient alchemist" that I obtained by chance to sew it up with other souls. , and it became the current "intelligent assistant".

After gaining recognition from the top management of Steel City, I joined the Supreme Council and became the last member of the thirteen people who rule this city-state.

But soon, because the series of reform measures I proposed, as well as the suggestions that were beneficial to survival and exploration, all achieved excellent results, doubling the population limit that the city-state could sustain in a short period of time.

And my achievements in science, especially the age-changing invention of the "steam engine", have allowed my seat to be promoted to the fourth seat in just a few years, second only to the three demigods in the first three seats.

As for other members of the jury, they are not dissatisfied with this... After all, everyone is living on the edge of survival, so there is less intrigue.

In the future, when I look back on these days when we all worked together, I feel sad.

More than twenty years later, the chief's body could no longer hold on. The "alchemist" trait he left behind was given to me. After extracting all the life force from an area, I successfully became a demigod.

Only then did I discover the real secret behind the "Pure White Eyes"! It's a pity that I don't dare to go too deep into my soul, because there seems to be some kind of "pollution" there, so I can only see some of the ways in which the former "me" died.

It seems that my "luck" is not very good every time in life... In comparison, even if I am in a place abandoned by God, I am one of the lucky ones to be able to become an "alchemist".

In short, after becoming a demigod, I became the chief without any dispute, and gradually started the "Floating City" plan that I had long planned.

The reason why "Floating City" is needed is because I want to lead everyone in "Steel City" to leave the "Land Abandoned by God", leave this dark continent, and go to the bright world.

According to the original work, I know that the only exit from the God-Forsaken Land is in the "Giant King's Court".

But there is no record of the "Giant Court" in the "Steel City", and I don't even know its own location. This makes it impossible for me to judge the direction of progress, and I can only keep exploring around.

However, the scope of city-state exploration is limited, and it is impossible to build strongholds along the way. Firstly, manpower is not allowed. Secondly, the safety of temporary strongholds cannot be guaranteed. Thirdly, and most importantly, once the wrong direction is chosen, these strongholds will be destroyed. It's all in vain.

Therefore, the only way I can think of is to make the "city-state" move!

Due to the complex terrain on the ground, vehicles are not a good choice, so a "floating city" that can fly in the sky has become my goal.

This is an almost impossible project, but fortunately there are still "divine powers" left by the gods in the "Gods Abandoned Land" that can be used!

Finally, after one hundred and twelve years and several generations of hard work, the "Morning Star City" equipped with four major systems finally took off!

I used this to change the system so that everyone had their own first and last names, and I also announced to all the people the name I had chosen for myself, "Lucien Evans."

At this time, the population of "Morning Star City" was close to 10,000.

The next time in "Morning Star City" was spent in stop-and-go... After a long period of exploration, I finally determined that the original location of the Steel City should be in the iron ore belt near Cameroon, Africa in the previous life.

The "Giant Court" is likely to be somewhere in Northern Europe.

The distance between the two is extremely far, there are many dangers on the way, and some places have to be detoured, so this is destined to be an extremely long journey.

So "Morning Star City" went all the way north while exploring, collecting supplies, and upgrading, gathering many survivors from the city-state during the process.

And how have these survivors ever seen this relatively affluent life in "Morning Star City"? So they all regard me as a god and respect me as the "Mechanical Emperor".

At this time, I happened to be promoted to Sequence 3, and I also had a certain need for "faith", so I let it go.

Until one day, my closest friend, the original "intelligent assistant" and now the "Central Tower Spirit of Morning Star City" Violet conveyed to me the will of a great being...
