Start with the Soul Forge

Chapter 3. Understanding the world from textbooks

A day later, after another physical examination, Mo Hao was found to have no physical problems and was ready to be discharged from the hospital.

All I got was to come for checkups and psychotherapy every month to see if I could restore my memory.

No doctor could come to a complete conclusion about Mo Hao's condition. It was extremely difficult for his fragile brain to perform its functions after being attacked so crazily.

At the same time, his guardian arrived early and was waiting for him.

Guardian, or adoptive father or stepfather.

When he first saw this guardian, Mo Hao couldn't help but take a few more glances at him.

He was a muscular man with muscles all over his body, which filled up the sleeves of his short-sleeved shirt. He looked to be more than two meters tall. The scar on his face from his forehead to his right cheek made him look even more hideous.

The scar even passed through the right eye, a vital area. It is easy to imagine how critical the situation was at the time to cause such a wound.

The strong man is named Zhang Lei, nicknamed Lei Lao Hu.

As we all know, there are wrong names but no wrong nicknames. Anyone who looks at this guy at first glance will think that he looks like a human-shaped giant insect.

The two of them got directly into the car driven by Zhang Lei. Through the rearview mirror, Zhang Lei saw Mo Hao's rather restrained expression.

"Xiao Hao, you...can't remember anything?"

"I can't remember." Mo Hao breathed a sigh of relief after the doctor diagnosed him with amnesia.

He didn't know what his identity was in this world, nor did he know anything about this identity. It would be very troublesome if someone asked him about it.

But amnesia solves all these problems.

"It's not just the past, it seems like even a lot of common sense is messed up, my brain is in a mess."

Zhang Lei listened and let out a long breath, "Forget it, it's better to forget it, it's better to forget it."

Then both of them fell silent. Zhang Lei was a quiet man, while Mo Hao didn't know what to say.

With the pretext of [amnesia] as a cover, what he needs to do more than speak is to listen and watch.

The car was driving smoothly. Zhang Lei had high driving skills and drove very steadily. Even the brakes did not feel too much. He took very good care of the patient Mo Hao.

After a long while, Zhang Lei spoke again, "Do you want to go home or to my house?"

"go home."

Zhang Lei nodded and said nothing. After all, his home was not suitable for a patient like Mo Hao to recuperate.

Then Zhang Lei sent Mo Hao back home. "Here are the keys, and this is the bank card. The password is six 1s. I have deposited your living expenses. This is your cell phone. I have set my number as a shortcut number. Call me if you have any questions..."

Zhang Lei patiently told Mo Hao how to use the furniture in his home. While he was speaking, his cell phone suddenly rang.

After taking a look at his phone, Zhang Lei seemed to have entered a certain state, and his body suddenly straightened up. "You should have a good rest at home first. I will come to see you in two days."

Having said that, he left.

Zhang Lei's sudden departure seemed very urgent, and he left in a hurry.

Looking at Zhang Lei's departing back, Mo Hao couldn't help but shook his head, "It seems that he is an unreliable guardian."

He didn't care about anything else, but took the money and keys and walked to the direction of the vegetable market that he had noted down when he came back.

Not long after, he brought back a fish and a chicken.

I didn't ask the stall owner to help kill it, I just took it home alive.

The kitchen knife took the fish's life cleanly and neatly, giving it a painless death in the quickest way possible.

At the moment of killing the fish, Mo Hao felt a subtle warm current entering his body.

it works!

The passive of [Soul Furnace] took effect, and Mo Hao could feel a clear difference after the blood entered his body. He then turned his attention to the chicken and cut its throat without any hesitation to let the blood out. The moment the chicken died, Mo Hao felt a stronger heat flow entering his body.

Even more intense than when killing fish.

It was obvious through the mirror that his face had become much rosier.

After looking around, Mo Hao still did not use the active ability of [Soul Furnace].

He had no way of predicting the power of the Soul Furnace's shield explosion, and when he detonated it in his own home, he was the only one who suffered the loss.

I am not familiar with the surrounding environment, so it is impossible to find a secluded place to experiment.

At this time, the smell of blood attracted a mosquito, and I subconsciously slapped it. When I opened my hands, the mosquito was left with only a pool of blood and flesh.

Then Mo Hao felt an extremely weak heat flow entering his body. It was very weak, not even one percent of that of the fish.

It seems that the idea of ​​relying on the number of mosquitoes and ants to pile up the health bar is unlikely. With the skill of [Soul Furnace], perhaps working in a slaughterhouse in the early stage is his best choice.

That might allow the passive to be stacked up quickly.

After experiencing three warm currents, a panel suddenly appeared in front of Mo Hao.

[Name: Mo Hao]

[Skill: Soul Furnace LV1 (0/280)]

[Experience: 0]

It's a very simple panel, so simple that it seems almost unambiguous.

At least looking at this panel, Mo Hao understood that [Soul Furnace] can be upgraded.

But the [Experience] made him think.

"Lian" (experience), as a verb, means to train and hone, while as a noun it means experience and accumulation of knowledge.

In other words, some non-combat actions may also gain experience.

Just as he was thinking about it, Mo Hao's phone suddenly vibrated a few times. He picked it up and found that it was a group message from the class.

Excluding some unnecessary politeness, there is only one core idea: the holiday is already half over, and students should not relax during the holiday. They should strictly follow the schedule and review every day. There will be mock exams as a test after school starts.

Looking at the text on the phone, Mo Hao began to wonder whether he should take a leave of absence from school for a while on the pretext of amnesia.

But this thought was soon put aside. He found his schoolbag in the house, and also found all his textbooks from childhood to adulthood in the room where the schoolbag was placed. Those books were piled together haphazardly.

This is exactly what Mo Hao needs at this moment. He put the textbook on the ground and patted his cheeks gently. "Okay, let's learn about society from textbooks. This is how we have been since we were young. It doesn't matter if we do it again."

As he spoke, he opened the history textbook and began to read it carefully.

……

In the year 2045 of the Era Calendar, humans discovered the [Taixu Realm] for the first time.

The Great Void, the Abyss, the Alien Dimension, the Subspace...

These are its names.

It is something between [reality] and [illusion]. If the material world is a basin of water, then [Taixu Realm] is a bulging bubble.

No one knows what is inside the bubble, and no one can be completely sure whether the rules inside the bubble are the same as those on the water surface.

[Taixu Realm] is like the moon in the water, which cannot be touched and is difficult to observe, but it will open a crack at certain moments.

Some unlucky people got sucked into it and never showed up again.
