His exposed skin was covered with spotted scales and bleeding abscesses.\nThis kind of terrifying appearance is the norm among the remaining humans in this small world.\nLack of food and clothing and the erosion of the abyss have made their physical fitness very weak.\nIt is considered good if ordinary people can live to be forty years old, and sixty years old can be called a living antique.\nThere are many people who live to be twenty or thirty years old.\nAbyss hunters who master the magic of the abyss have even shorter lifespans than ordinary people, because they face the erosion of the abyss all the time.\nThe life span of fourth- and fifth-level extraordinary beings can be improved to a certain extent, but compared to normal fourth- and fifth-level ones, their lifespans are still very short.\n  \"What's up?\"\nChen Yu asked with a smile.\nHe has seen all kinds of strange creatures, and he no longer feels sick or uncomfortable with the appearance of the little old man.\n\"Brother, are you thirteen or fourteen this year?\"\n\"Looking at how strong you are, you should come from a family of abyssal hunters, right?\"\n\"You haven't gone through the awakening ceremony yet?\"\nThe little old man started chatting with Chen Yu very familiarly.\n\"That's right. For someone as extraordinary as you, little brother, how can your family be willing to let you become an abyss hunter? Giving birth to a child is a big deal.\"\nHuman beings in the era of crisis have been screened from generation to generation, and their growth time has been compressed to the extreme.\nThe precocious individuals in the normal world have become mainstream humans in this small world.\nMen are considered adults at the age of twelve or thirteen, and women at the age of eleven or twelve.\nMen are responsible for fighting and defending their homes.\nWomen are responsible for giving birth and continuing the race.\nGiving birth to a child is definitely a top priority for humans in this small world.\nBecause it is too dangerous, the male loss rate is very high, and more people are needed to supplement it.\nIf you are a man with a strong body and good facial features, you will receive widespread attention.\nBecause this means that this person has a stronger ability to resist the erosion of the abyss, and future generations can inherit these characteristics.\nBecoming an abyss hunter will cause extremely destructive changes to the body, and fertility will be lost.\nTherefore, strong and handsome men usually do the work of \"retaining seeds\" and rarely become abyss hunters early.\n\"You must have a lot of women in your family, right?\"\n\"I have a batch of good goods here.\"\n\"Dug out from the ruins of ancient times.\"\n\"Look, it's so shiny. The women in the family will definitely like it.\"\nThe little old man carefully took out something from the bag at his waist, which turned out to be a crystal earring.\n\"Look, how beautiful would such a beautiful thing be hanging on your hair or around your neck?\"\nChen Yu wanted to tell him that this was an earring that should be hung on his ear.\n​But this doesn't make much sense.\nPeople here don't know much about jewelry.\nIf you can't even have enough food and clothing, how can you bother to study such a problem?\nOnly women pay attention to their appearance for a short period of time during their early adulthood.\nBeauty not only brings sensory enjoyment, but also means one's own health and the probability of giving birth to strong offspring.\nThe more beautiful the girl, the easier it is to be favored by men who have more resources.\nBy the way, beauty here and normal beauty are two different concepts.\nIn this small world, as long as the body surface is smoother and there are no unnecessary growths on the face, you can be called beautiful.\nHowever, the earring itself aroused Chen Yu's interest.\nThis is a piece of magic equipment!\nThe engraved runes and stored magic power have been exhausted, and no extraordinary abilities can be displayed.\nBut it is indeed a magic equipment.\nNot only this earring, there are other accessories in the bag on the little old man's body, which are also magic equipment.\nThe remaining humans in this world do not have the extraordinary power of magic.\n\"I want everything on you.\"\nChen Yu threw a palm-sized transparent red crystal to the little old lady.\n\"Are these enough?\"\nThis is an abyss magic crystal, a common mineral in the abyss. High-level demons like to use this thing to repair their houses.\nBut in this small world, it is hard currency, which can not only be used to increase crop production, but also serve as energy reserves for abyss hunters.\nThe little old man took the abyss crystal, observed it carefully, and immediately put on a flattering expression.\n\"That's enough! That's enough! Thank you, sir! Thank you, sir!\"\nAfter saying that, he handed the bag to Chen Yu, turned around and ran away, as if he was afraid that Chen Yu would regret it.\n\n\n  \"etc--\"\nChen Yu flashed and appeared in front of the little old man.\nA look of panic flashed across the little old man's face, and then he put on a flattering smile.\n\"Sir! If you have any other instructions, I will definitely do it for you!\"\n\"I'll ask you a few questions. If the answers satisfy me...\"\nChen Yu once again threw an abyss spar to the little old man, \"The benefits are indispensable to you.\"\nThe little old man's eyes suddenly lit up, but he was a little hesitant.\nAfter all, Chen Yu has given too much, more than he has given in his life from birth to now.Earn ten times more money!\nHe has never seen such high-quality magic crystal in his life.\nNot to mention him, even those high-ranking top abyss hunters may not have seen it before!\nHowever, greed eventually defeated fear.\nThe little old man took a deep breath and said solemnly: \"Sir, please ask! As long as it is your order, I will do it for you even if I risk my life!\"\n\"Don't be nervous.\" Chen Yu waved his hand and raised the bag in his hand.\n\"I'm just more interested in these things.\"\n\"Can you tell me the origin of these things? This shouldn't be something that people today can make, right?\"\n\"Sir, these are indeed not made by people today.\" The little old man said respectfully, \"They all come from the distant ancient times.\"\n\"Rumors say it was a heyday.\"\n\"Our entire world is a huge empire.\"\n\"You are of extraordinary wealth and must be knowledgeable. You should know what an empire is, right?\"\n\"It is a force composed of countless city-states, ruled by a great and strong man.\"\n\"In that era, there were no demons or monsters.\"\n\"Everyone can have enough to eat, and every meal is delicious. Everyone has soft, thick clothes, which are more comfortable to wear than rotten iron devil silk.\"\n\"Every woman at that time was very beautiful, even more beautiful than the wife of the city lord!\"\n  \"them……\"\nThe little old man recounted the rumors left over from the prosperous era.\nAs he talked, he gradually revealed his infinite yearning.\nImmediately afterwards, muddy tears overflowed from his eyes.\n\"Sir, little one, I really want to see that beautiful era with my own eyes!\"\n\"Hey - I'm sorry, sir, I just couldn't hold it back...\"\n\"Because I have been listening to the rumors of that era since I was a child, so I have been pursuing the past events of that era.\"\n\"We risked death at any time and searched for the remaining relics in the wilderness.\"\n\"Under the leadership of Lord Watcher, generation after generation, never stops...\"",1365,"2026-06-06T17:30:48.717Z",1,null,"f43e4ed11f3dbb420f12bdca27beea440517497d2dd2971533f51f81996e6187","the-watchman-who-inherits-the-mission-the-inheritor-of-human-civilization-463","human-beings-can-always-find-a-way-out-the-remaining-civilization-in-the-small-w-461",567,"\u002Fcovers\u002F2744d9e2-255e-4853-bafb-59a1dcb29203-1780767046444.jpg"]
