I am collecting entries in reincarnation

Chapter 2: Fateful First Trial of Reincarnation
Seeing Fabei so serious, Li Ming was startled and felt a little strange, but he followed suit and nodded.

The two of them walked quickly all the way. Li Ming recognized the direction and it was his master's meditation room. He was even more confused, but he didn't ask any questions. He just followed closely.

When he arrived in front of his room, Fabei sighed imperceptibly, then opened the door and strode in.

As a disciple of Fabei, Li Ming had naturally been to his master's Zen room. He even lived here when he was a child. Only when he grew older did he move to the servants' quarters where other disciples lived.

The furnishings in the Zen room were simple, even crude. When the door was opened, one could see a piece of white paper with Buddhist characters written on it pasted on the wall, which had already turned a little yellow.

Then there was a small bed with a small table on it, and two futons. There was a small cabinet in the corner and a wooden shelf with a washbasin on it. A towel was hanging on the shelf, and that was all.

Fabei walked slowly to the cabinet, opened it without saying a word, took out a fist-sized yellow cloth bag from under some folded clothes, turned around and returned to Li Ming, solemnly handing the cloth bag to Li Ming.

"Master? What is this?" Li Ming asked.

There was a hint of sadness in Fabei's voice as he said
"This is what you were holding in your arms when I found you. I never gave it to you. Now that you are sixteen years old, I think it's time to give it to you."

"I asked the abbot. He told me he sensed an extraordinary aura the night I found you. The abbot was already an innate master at that time, able to detect within a hundred feet, yet he was very secretive about that aura. I think your background is probably extraordinary."

"The choice is yours now. If you want to explore your origins, I won't stop you. I'm sure your parents had their reasons, otherwise they wouldn't have sent you to our temple. They want to give you a chance to live. If they had abandoned you in the wilderness, how could you possibly survive?"

Li Ming held the cloth bag in his hand, understood what he was thinking, and was about to speak when a voice suddenly came to his ears.

"The plot has begun, and the Reincarnation Record has been activated. Please check it, host."

"Reincarnation Record? Isn't this the game I played? Could it be a cheat code?!"

Li Ming's mood was as exciting as riding a roller coaster. He lost control of his facial expression and his face looked extremely excited.

Fa Bei was stunned and thought to himself, "Could it be that my disciple is too excited and has become stupid?"

Li Ming took a deep breath, grasped the cloth bag in his hand, bowed to Fabei and said, "Thank you, Master. This matter is of great importance to me. Please allow me to go back and think about it for a few days."

Fabei couldn't help but laugh, shook his head and said, "It's up to you to stay or go. Guangde Temple isn't big, but it can accommodate a little novice like you. I don't want to be a shackle on your body and mind. The choice is yours. Okay, go!"

There was a hint of urgency in his voice, and then he waved his sleeves and tactfully left his master's meditation room.

It was just Fabei standing at the door, watching Li Ming's back as he left, and sighed softly. Then the sound of chanting came from his meditation room, just like every day and night before.

When Li Ming returned to his room, he first opened the cloth bag and saw a jade pendant with a flying dragon engraved on it. He didn't know what was special about it. Then he put the jade pendant away and focused his attention on the golden finger that had just awakened.

Li Ming took a deep breath and focused his attention in his mind. A translucent panel seemed to appear in front of him, which was the game page.

The first reincarnation, is it started?

Below are two options.

【whether】

Li Ming tentatively tapped on it with his consciousness.

[Tip: The first reincarnation is free, and the next reincarnation will cost 1 point.]

"Accumulate points?" Li Ming then noticed that there was a small pocket symbol in the lower right corner of the panel, and next to the icon was an Arabic numeral 1.

After Li Ming focused his attention there, another paragraph of text popped up.

[Reminder: Points will automatically increase every morning, and the current efficiency is 1 point/day]

So what are you waiting for? Let’s start a thrilling reincarnation game!
Li Ming's eyes gradually lit up, and then he used his willpower to press down hard on "yes".

[Tip: Reincarnation is starting, the main plane time anchor point is locked, and the lock is successful.]

The next second, Li Ming felt dizzy and dark.

The same prompt text as before appeared before my eyes.

You were born in an ordinary little village.

[You are a boy. Your father loves you very much and specially asked the only literate village chief to name you. Your name is Shi Jian.]

As the words appeared, Li Ming's eyes quickly passed by a small village and finally his sight fell on a thatched house on the west side of the village. A dark-skinned man was guarding outside the door. When he heard the baby crying, he showed an honest smile.

Only after the scene ended did Li Ming regain some control, but now he was just a weak baby. Apart from being able to wave his limbs slightly and whimper, he could do nothing else.

Just as Li Ming was complaining that playing this game would last a lifetime, would he still be able to distinguish between reality and the game?
A character panel appeared before my eyes.

Name: Shi Jian

Age: 0
Life span: 62
Health: 5/5
Stamina: 5/5
Constitution: 0.5
Luck: 1
Perception: 1
Root bone: 1
Item: None
【Evaluation: An ordinary baby.】

This looks a bit like a game, Li Ming thought, and then he saw an AFK option in the lower left corner of the character panel.

[Tip: In idle mode, the reincarnated character will act according to his or her own characteristics.]

“It’s so humane, I love it!”

Li Ming was delighted and tapped the phone lightly. A year passed in an instant.

You are one year old now. You are just like any other child. However, due to your family's poverty, your development is not very good.

Li Ming felt the skinny body, sighed inwardly, and then continued to hang up.

【You are two years old, and you have learned to talk and walk. 】

[You are three years old. This year is a famine year. You starved to death due to the severe drought.] [This reincarnation cycle ends.]

What?

A huge question mark appeared on Li Mingguang's forehead, and he suddenly had an urge to smash this broken game.

What the hell? I'm starving.

This starvation came unexpectedly. Li Ming was thinking of waiting until the reincarnated character was seven or eight years old before starting to control him, but he died at the age of three. What the hell, this crappy game ruined my youth.

【Settlement in progress, please wait.】

[Evaluation of this reincarnation: Nothing gained.]

[Reward: None]

【The available entries are as follows】

[Death (gray): High probability of death before the age of five]

Poverty (gray): More likely to be born into a poor family

[Thin (gray): Frail and sickly since childhood, Constitution -3]

[Tip: The entry levels are: gray, white, green, blue, purple, orange, and red.]

Li Ming fell silent as he stared at the three grey entries. What the hell is this? Is any of it even usable? These are all debuffs. What the hell?
However, Li Ming still chose to obtain it tentatively.

[Tip: 1 point is required to obtain the gray entry.]

[Note: Entries that are not yet acquired will be collected in the entry library. If you need to acquire them later, double points will be charged.]

Li Ming took a deep breath and said, "I want to restart, restart, restart!"
[Points -1]

[You were born in a small border town. Your father is a chef in a restaurant in the town.]

Your name is Zhu Chang

Then several pictures quickly flashed before Li Ming's eyes, including a bird's-eye view of the town and a burly man waiting anxiously.

Name: Zhu Chang

Age: 0
Life span: 68
Health: 8/8
Stamina: 8/8
Constitution: 0.8
Luck: 1
Perception: 1
Root bone: 2
Item: None
【Evaluation: A relatively strong baby.】

Seeing this, Li Ming breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the last start was too bad. This time it was much more normal. His father was a cook, so at least he would not starve to death. As for Zhu Chang's name, Li Ming said that monks did not care about these details at all.

As usual, Li Ming chose to hang up. The feeling of being a baby still made Li Ming not used to it. At least he had to start playing from childhood.

Besides, even if a baby can control itself, what can it do?

[You are one year old. Thanks to your mother's abundant milk, you are growing strong. Constitution +1]

[You grabbed a book during the week-long celebration, your comprehension +1]

【You are two years old and have already learned to talk and walk. 】

You are three years old.

You are four years old.

You are five years old.

You are six years old.

Li Ming moved his limbs slightly and did not feel any discomfort, as if it had always been like this.

I looked up and saw that it was already late at night. At this time, a voice came.

"Dad, you're back?"

Then there was the sound of a door opening, and a man who had appeared in the previous scene walked in quickly with an oil-paper bag in his hand.

"Cui Cui, come here. You don't need to heat up the dishes I brought today. Just open them and eat them." The man laughed and waved the paper bag in his hand.

Li Ming knew that this was the father of the reincarnated character in this life, Zhu Dabing. Compared with his image in the picture before the reincarnation began, he was undoubtedly a little older. There were a few ounces of silver-white hair on his temples, but other than that, there was no sign of aging between his eyebrows.

"Master, thank you for your hard work. What did your eldest brother say?" A plump woman took the paper bag from Zhu Dadan and asked. This was Zhu Chang's mother, Wang Cui.

Zhu Dabing smiled innocently, patted his chest and said, "My eldest brother said that since you are determined to change the fate of our Zhu family, he will definitely support you. Give me all the money. Tomorrow, I will bring two pieces of bacon and ask Mr. Li to take them. If he can learn, we will let him study hard. If not, he can learn to cook from me. There is nothing wrong with being a chef."

As he spoke, he took out a few silver ingots with oil spots on them from his arms.

Wang Cui spat heavily and scolded with a smile, "Hey, what are you talking about, you stinky cook? Our son has been smart since he was young. During the one-year-old celebration, he grabbed a book and refused to let go. He is destined to study in this life. Who wants to learn to cook from you, who is always making greasy food?"

Zhu Dabing just smiled and pulled Li Ming into the house.

Li Ming understood in his heart that it seemed that he would go to a private school tomorrow. In this reincarnation, he would probably be able to show his talents.

ps: Please collect it.
