Chapter 1 The logging boy on the island

Sea calendar year 1499

The first half of the Grand Route, Red Leaf Island.

The island got its name because its shape resembles red leaves, and the trees with red leaves are abundant on the island.

The people of Red Leaf Island are simple and honest, and nearly half of the islanders are professional loggers and gardeners who plant red leaf trees.

Because of the climate, special plants like red leaf trees seem to grow very well on their islands.

Red leaf trees that have reached a certain age are excellent wood for making ships, so most residents of Red Leaf Island make a living from this.

In a red leaf forest near the sea, a black-haired boy was waving an ax in his hand, working hard at the thick red leaf tree trunk in front of him.

However, it seemed that it was because of his lack of skills, or because the ax in his hand was always unable to get past him. Every time the boy made a heavy blow, he failed to hit the same place accurately.

For a native of Red Leaf Island resident, you may not know how to drink and brag, or you may not know how to dance with a gun, but the skill of cutting down trees must be at least proficient.

If it weren't for the fact that there was no one else around, Wood's current level of tree-cutting would probably have been ridiculed by the islanders of Red Leaf Island for not being as good as an underage child.

Wood is fifteen years old this year, and in this world, he should be considered an adult.

As for the logging skills that the residents of Red Leaf Island basically mastered, Wood's mastery now is indeed not as good as that of some young children.

But you can't blame him because Wood is not from this world.

In other words, his body is indeed a native of Red Leaf Island Wood, but his inner soul has changed.

"Ding, I completed one thousand tree-cutting attempts and felled five red-leaf trees. The score is average and the task is completed.

Congratulations on getting a chance to use a life simulator."

That's right, Wood is a transmigrator, and he also has a "plug-in" that a traveler must bring. This plug-in was also a popular mini-program game before Wood's cross-world travel, called Life Simulator.

The reason why Wood had been working hard to chop down trees was not because he wanted to make a fortune from this thing. After all, he was not a bald boy who was chased and crushed by two bears in the forest every day.

He chose to do this entirely because of the tasks assigned to him by the system.

Mission name: The loggers of Red Leaf Island

Task requirements: Use the designated ax to chop down the red leaf trees a thousand times. The more red leaf trees chopped down, the higher the rating.

Task completion standards, task evaluation must be at least average, and there is no time limit.

Mission reward: Open a life simulation opportunity once.

Looking at the prompt that the task was completed, Wood finally put down the ax in his hand and breathed a sigh of relief.

The still immature hands not only felt a little tired from holding the ax for a long time, but also had a lot of blood blisters.

The system kept claiming that the difficulty of this task was simple and that it was just a welfare link prepared for novices, but Wood completely disagreed with this.

God knows he has been cutting down trees in this mangrove forest for how many days.

From the beginning when he couldn't even hold the ax correctly, to the moment when the task was completed, Wood had been cutting down mangroves for more than three months!

At the beginning, with Wood's physical condition, he couldn't even swing the ax a thousand times a day, and then later he barely reached the target, which took more than a month of Wood's time.

In the remaining two months, although Wood achieved the goal of swinging his ax a thousand times a day, he felled either one or none of the mangroves.

If the medium task evaluation was not achieved, the task would naturally be impossible to complete, so after that, Wood could only numbly repeat the task of cutting down trees every day.

And thanks to the particularity of this world, or the people in this world, their physical fitness and resilience are generally stronger than in the original world. Even if Wood is half exhausted every day, he can still be revived with full health the next day.

And there is no time limit for this task. Otherwise, the seemingly simple tree-cutting task would be absolutely difficult for Wood.

It has actually been more than a year since Wood came to this world, but the system was activated half a year ago.

Wood, who traveled through time at first, didn't know what world he had come to. However, because the people of Red Leaf Island were simple and there were no high-energy beings on the island, Wood once thought that he had come to an ordinary peaceful world.

Although the technology of this world may be much behind Wood's previous world, the original ecological life and the pollution-free air also make Wood feel quite relaxed.

And just when Wood thought that in this life he could rely on some advanced knowledge from his previous life to barely make a living and live a stable life, a piece of news that resounded throughout the sea disrupted Wood's original view of the beautiful world. future plans.

"Do you want my treasure? If you want it, I can give it all to you. Go find it! I put all the treasures there."

In the newspaper delivered by Newsbird, a man with long black hair, kneeling on the execution platform, but with a calm look on his face occupied the headline position of the newspaper, and the chapter was so long that it almost occupied more than half of the newspaper.

In 1498 AD, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger was executed, but his words before his execution stirred up the entire sea and caused countless people to rush towards the sea. This world also attracted the so-called The "Great Pirate Age"!

At the same time, it was also because of this report that Wood finally realized what kind of world he had entered.

This is not a peaceful world at all, and it is not that there are no high-energy beings in this world. It's just because the place where he was born is basically weak chickens!

The end of Roger heralded the beginning of the "Great Pirate Era", and in just a few months, the wave of the era has already reached Red Leaf Island where Wood is located.

Without him, the era of great pirates is coming. If people want to go to sea, they must build ships.

In addition to boatmen, shipbuilding also requires excellent wood.

Unfortunately, the mangroves of Red Leaf Island are one of the most excellent shipbuilding materials. So under the tide of the times, a large number of pirates swarmed towards this island.

The residents of Red Leaf Island, who are accustomed to living a peaceful life, have no resistance when facing the vicious pirates.

In one month, three waves of pirates came, and most of the fine wood in the homes of residents was looted.

Because Wood had no logging skills before, his family was able to survive.

The pirates not only robbed the island's resources, but even killed people if they disagreed. Wood once witnessed a little loli dying tragically in front of him. Unable to bear it, he mustered up the courage to stab a pirate in the back secretly.
