第1章 论文夜与泥头车

Paper Night and Dump Truck

Lu Chen, an ordinary college student working late into his thesis, was sent into the world of "Mortals" by a "kind" punch from the Dirt Truck Emperor. His soul then possessed the body of a hapless, third-level Qi Refining cultivator of the same name and surname, a mere handful of spirit stones, on an unnamed island in the Broken Star Sea. Faced with the predatory nature of the immortal world and its constant dangers, Lu Chen was overcome with grief: "I just want to find a job after graduation!"

Relying on vague fragments of his memories of the original novel and the logical thinking of a modern engineer, he cautiously struggled to survive in this unfamiliar sea. He started out by reselling low-level monster materials, then used modern knowledge to refine low-level alchemy formulas; from fleeing in panic from small-time forces, he carved out a niche for himself on an unnamed island, using a crude formation. He had no idea he'd arrived thirty years too early, or that the future "Han Paopao," who would become a worldly legend, was still ignorant and naive in a mountain village somewhere in the southern sky.

Thirty years later, when Lu Chen, reaching the late stage of Foundation Establishment cultivation and armed with several ancient treasures and secret techniques found in the Broken Star Sea, embarked on a ship returning to his homeland in the Southern Sky, fate quietly shifted. He would join the Yellow Wind Valley as "Senior Brother Lu," and befriend the cautious, steady-minded young man, Han Li. Their fateful encounter forged a friendship that served as both mentor and friend. Through foresight and dedicated effort, Lu Chen surpassed Han Li in achieving Dan, Nascent Soul, and Spiritual Transformation... his cultivation remaining a full half-body lead.

陆沉，一个熬夜赶论文的普通大学生，被泥头车大帝“亲切”地一拳送入了《凡人》的世界，灵魂附身于碎星海某无名小岛上一个同名同姓、身家仅几块灵石的炼气三层倒霉散修身上。面对弱肉强食、危机四伏的修仙界，陆沉欲哭无泪：“我就想毕业找个工作啊！”
凭借对原著模糊的记忆碎片和现代理工男的逻辑思维，他小心翼翼地在这片陌生的海域挣扎求存。从倒卖低阶妖兽材料起家，到利用现代知识改良低阶丹方；从被小势力追杀得狼狈逃窜，到在无名小岛布下简陋阵法“苟”出一片天地。他不知道自己早来了三十年，更不知那个未来名震人界的“韩跑跑”此刻还在南天某处山村懵懂无知。
三十年后，当陆沉以筑基后期修为、身怀数件碎星海奇遇得来的古宝和秘术，踏上返回南天故地的海船时，命运的齿轮悄然转动。他将加入黄风谷，以“陆师兄”的身份，结识那个眼神谨慎、行事稳健的少年韩粒。两人因缘际会，结下亦师亦友的情谊。陆沉凭借先知与自身努力，在韩粒之前一步结丹、凝婴、化神……修为始终领先半个身位。
