Forbidden Land Exploration: Start as Sauron, teammate Zhang Qiling Chapter 001

“The《Forbidden Land Exploration》variety show, jointly funded by global consortia, is about to premiere.”

“This program will lead viewers to those mysterious and dangerous forbidden lands, explore the secrets hidden behind them, and reveal the truth sealed in history!”

“Next, is the highly anticipated announcement of the contestant list.”

“……”

Chu Chen lazily leaned against the soft sofa.

Quietly waiting for the confirmation of the《Forbidden Land Exploration》program’s personnel list.

That’s right, he signed up for this variety show.

This variety show is open to registration from all countries around the world.

Anyone over 14 years old, under 65 years old, and in good health can participate.

More importantly, this program offers a 1 billion reward for each successful exploration of a mysterious forbidden land!

If multiple mysterious forbidden lands can be explored, the bonus will naturally continue to accumulate!

The program also adopts a points system, and the contestant team ranked first in points will receive a bonus of up to 10 billion!!!

However, even with such a high bonus, not so many people signed up to participate.

Because the《Forbidden Land Exploration》program goes to the world’s forbidden lands!

What is a forbidden land?

A forbidden land is the most terrifying area on Blue Star, where countless lives have been lost, no one has survived to this day, and it is still shrouded in mysterious mysteries for thousands of years.

Therefore, in this world, everyone knows the horror of forbidden lands.

The contestants who signed up for this program are undoubtedly extremely confident, capable, and possess special skills;

Or…they are extremely short of money and come to risk their lives.

But Chu Chen is an exception.

He signed up for this program neither because he had special skills, nor because he was extremely short of money.

But because of… the system!

That’s right, Chu Chen has a system.

He not only has a system, but he is also a time-traveler.

Chu Chen was originally an ordinary otaku who accidentally traveled to this parallel world one day.

This world is similar to the original world.

The history is similar, the place names are similar, the countries are similar, and the technological development process is also similar.

The biggest difference is that this planet is thirty to forty times larger than the original Blue Star.

Moreover, the mysterious forbidden lands that originally only existed in myths and legends have become a reality!

Gate of the Region: Kunlun Mountain Death Valley, Land of Death: Lop Nur, Restricted Area of Life: Shennongjia, Weird Island: Doll Island, Tomb of Life: Skeleton Lake, Nether Water Monster: Loch Ness…

There are also Yun Ding Heavenly Palace, Yunnan Worm Valley, Snake Marsh Ghost City, South China Sea Guixu, Dragon Ridge Maze…

Any one of these places is a mysterious area that humans cannot set foot in to explore.

If Chu Chen didn’t have a system, he definitely wouldn’t have signed up for this《Forbidden Zone Exploration》.

That’s for all kinds of capable people and strangers to participate in, and it has nothing to do with a skinny person like him.

The huge bonus is good, but you have to have a life to spend it.

What’s more, Chu Chen is not short of money now.

Chu Chen’s current identity is that of a rich second-generation orphan with a car and a house and both parents deceased.

It can be said that this is the best template for time-travelers.

He doesn’t have a lot of money now, but he doesn’t lack small money.

The assets left to him by his deceased parents, although not enough for him to live a luxurious life for the rest of his life.

But it’s enough for him to not work and live a salted fish-like life of eating and waiting to die.

He thought that he would live his life peacefully like this.

Who knew that a week ago, the golden finger ‘system’ that basically every time-traveler has appeared.

And the requirement to activate this system is to go to those strange and unpredictable forbidden lands to explore.

This made Chu Chen feel embarrassed.

You know, such a weird and dangerous place as the forbidden land has long been listed as a key restricted area by the state.

There are even troops stationed there at ordinary times.

This is to prevent some strange and inexplicable creatures from coming out of the forbidden land, and also to prevent ordinary people from accidentally entering.

Ordinary people must have a legitimate reason and obtain permission from relevant departments to enter this forbidden area.

Even some forbidden areas with lower danger levels.

Therefore, when the news of the《Forbidden Land Exploration》program was released, Chu Chen signed up for the program without much hesitation.

Chu Chen can live a salted fish-like life for the rest of his life, but…sure enough, he still hopes that his life will be more exciting.

Since God has given him a chance and let him travel through time, why not make his life more exciting?

What’s more, he didn’t want to go to the forbidden land before because he didn’t have enough strength, and going there was just going to his death.

But now, with the system, he is naturally not afraid.

…

With this thought in mind, Chu Chen once again focused his attention on the《Forbidden Land Exploration》program, which was about to determine the list of personnel.

Although most people have self-knowledge.

But under such a huge bonus, it still stimulated many people to participate in the registration.

As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards.

Many people participated in this program with the mentality of ‘take a gamble, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle’.

After all, as long as you successfully explore a forbidden land, you can become a billionaire.

In the next life, even descendants can eat and drink without worry!

Therefore, the number of people who signed up for the program globally still reached nearly 100 million.

And《Forbidden Land Exploration》only draws 100 people to participate in the program.

One hundred million to one hundred, this probability is simply comparable to winning the lottery.

Therefore, Chu Chen did not have much hope of being selected as a contestant from the beginning.

The program progressed quickly, after all, 100 contestants is not too many.

Twenty minutes later, the contestant confirmation session was coming to an end.

The names, photos, and some basic information of more than ninety contestants have already appeared on the TV screen.

But Chu Chen still didn’t see his name.

“Sure enough, I still have to find another way…”

Just as Chu Chen was about to give up, he stared at the screen and his eyes suddenly widened.

On the screen, the name, photo, and some basic introductions appeared.

This lucky person is none other than Chu Chen himself!
