Chapter 7 finally encounters people

Father Chen gave Chen Yi a firm slap and said, "What if it is a dream? Even if life is truly a dream, you must take it seriously! Do not doubt whether it is a dream; just treat it earnestly, move forward, and act upon it until you awaken from the dream! Who knows that after awakening, one might discover that the events that occurred in the dream were real experiences? And that this dream is merely a reminiscence of the past?" Who knows that after awakening, one might discover that the events that occurred in the dream were real experiences? And that this dream is merely a reminiscence of the past?

Oh! Other villagers saw hope and responded one after another

With a tense expression from the village chief, Chen Yi pretended to ponder for a moment and then said with righteous resolve: "Very well, settling down here is also acceptable; in case those bandits return, I will be able to provide some support."

My surname is Chen and my given name is Yi. I am a martial artist (a bit of a charlatan) from the Central Plains. I came to Japan in pursuit of a monster, but unfortunately, I lost track of it. Now, I find myself in a foreign land (still continuing the charade) and wish to find a place to settle down. Today, I saw that a village here was being invaded by bandits, so I could not stand idly by and came to help. After all, it is not entirely a lie... After all, Chen Yi is indeed searching for Yakumo Yukari... After all, Chen Yi is indeed searching for Yakumo Yukari...

For these bandits who are not even strong enough to be considered warriors, Chen Yi naturally has no fear. Chen Yi's current strength has reached a level beyond that of a human, and with the added enhancement from his fighter skills, the power he can exert is even greater.

Watching the bandits relentlessly slaughtering in the village and the villagers desperately resisting, the excessively bloody power can no longer be used, nor can the excessively dark one. However, with the fighter skills he possesses, Chen Yi still has some confidence in his physical abilities

The speed of the Instant Step was unparalleled. As he approached the village, Chen Yi realized that it was not about cooking specifically, but rather about dealing with thieves. Hearing the sounds of shouting and killing from within the village, Chen Yi suddenly had an idea

Ding! Gained the villagers' favor. Before your identity is revealed, you can enjoy a stable life in this village. Please cherish this time and better adapt to life in this world

Diamond shatters

Chen Yi admitted that he was moved, oh Lord, you have finally done a good deed

Breath Mask, Breath of Wind, Wave Burst, Automatic Block, Extreme Destruction Blade, Flowing Heart, Soul Devouring Hand, Berserk, along with a series of passive skills

These are all very practical skills

As the second knee strike sent the robber flying, a force was simultaneously transmitted to him. When the unfortunate individual who was struck fell into the group of robbers, the power that had been transmitted to that robber suddenly erupted, creating another shockwave that once again killed numerous robbers.

The room is quite simple, containing only a tatami mat, a low table, and two newly made square cushions. Chen Yi took out a dazzling crystal, bound it with a cloth strip, and hung it from the ceiling. A small, energy-efficient, pure green environmentally friendly light bulb was created. After taking off his shoes, Chen Yi lay on the tatami mat, reflecting on the events of the past few days.

Father Chen continued, "So, my son, no matter how illusory or unreal you feel the world is in the future, you must treat it as if it is real! Do not simply doubt everything! As long as you believe that the dream is real, then it is not a dream! It is reality! Do you understand?"

With a leader present, the other bandits naturally would not be foolish enough to go to their deaths, and they all began to flee.

Upon hearing Chen Yi's words, the village chief was immediately overjoyed and said, "So, Master Chen Yi, you are from the Central Plains. I have heard of the mysteries of the Central Plains long ago. Although our village is remote, if you do not mind, please settle down in our village for the time being." At the same time, the village chief looked at Chen Yi with hopeful eyes. After all, Chen Yi's martial prowess was exceptionally strong; if he could stay, the safety of the village would undoubtedly increase significantly. The other villagers all looked at Chen Yi with eager anticipation.

It is merely a matter of raising a hand. Chen Yi quickly said, when it comes to enemies, he can ruthlessly eliminate them without any lingering feelings, but when it comes to innocent people, he believes he cannot be that brutal. As for being hypocritical? Chen Yi acknowledges this hypocrisy.

Awesome! Chen Yi couldn't help but exclaim, is this feeling... could it be the legendary—upgrade! Chen Yi closed his eyes, and indeed, the skills in his mind lit up significantly.

With gratitude towards Chen Yi, the villagers worked together and managed to build the house before sunset. A wooden house is quite easy to construct

At this moment, an elderly man with a white beard stepped out from the group of villagers (it goes without saying that he must be the village chief or something similar). He cleared his throat lightly and said to Chen Yi: "I am the village chief, Xiu Tian Wuren. Thank you, sir, for your assistance. If it weren't for you, this village might not exist after today." After saying this, he wore a look of deep emotion.

The villagers in the village, upon witnessing Chen Yi's formidable strength, felt their previously despairing emotions dissipate instantly. In this atmosphere of heightened morale, even ordinary individuals were able to exhibit considerable combat prowess

Afterward, the villagers emerged from their hiding places and gathered together, curiously looking at Chen Yi. Thanks to Chen Yi's assistance, this village did not suffer significant losses; only a number of houses were burned down.

Upon learning that Chen Yi would stay, the villagers were greatly pleased and began discussing his accommodation with the village chief. The village chief intended to offer Chen Yi a place in his own home, but Chen Yi declined the offer.

With a shout, a gust of wind surged back at three times the speed of the robber who had attacked Chen Yi, crashing into a wall, blood gushing forth, and it was evident that he would not survive.

Chen Dad: "Ha! Your thoughts are very simple, yet very good. Many people say that life is like a dream; when a person dies, it is like waking from that dream. After waking, everything from the dream is gone."

As he pondered, Chen Yi's consciousness gradually faded, and he fell asleep

After expressing his gratitude to the villagers, Chen Yi opened the door and entered what symbolically represented his first "home" since crossing over to this world

Pointing to a vacant lot at the entrance of the village, he suggested building a house there for himself to live in. The rationale was simple: to prevent sudden attacks from bandits and mountain thieves, which moved the villagers once again...

I almost forgot; the transformation has not yet been undone. After the crimson hue faded from my body, an indescribable sense of relief spread throughout me

Xiao Chanyi: "Isn't life, a person's life, just about living happily?"

Xiao Chenyu nodded slightly to indicate understanding

Upon entering the village, Chen Yi was naturally discovered by the bandits. One of the bandits casually threw the torch he was holding into a house and turned to Chen Yi with a knife in hand. The other bandits paid no attention, merely assuming that Chen Yi was a villager returning home, and continued their activities of beating, smashing, and looting.

Hmph! I was just thinking of a reason to enter the village, and now there's an opportunity, isn't there? Hmm! First, I need to secure my left hand and the backpack; this cannot be discovered.

The encounter of this robber immediately attracted the attention of other robbers, who saw Chen Yi's appearance as he casually patted his pant legs.

Feeling that their dignity had been insulted, the robbers were instantly enraged and rushed forward, shouting, "Kill him! Kill him!" and "Kill him!"

A gentle breeze blew, causing the hair of Chen Yi, which had grown to his waist, to be blown forward a few strands.

But why is the village that Chen Yi just saw starting to emit smoke? Does this village have a habit of cooking collectively? Chen Yi hurriedly made his way towards the village.

A front kick swiftly sent a robber flying back, knocking down a large number of people. Immediately after, Chen Yi jumped high and forcefully stomped his feet down onto the ground

"Father, is life really just a dream?" Chen Yi asked curiously

As for the clothing, Chen Yi discovered after battling the chief warrior that although he had been pierced through, his clothes showed no signs of damage when the knife was pulled out; not even a drop of blood had stained them. After inquiring with the deity, he learned that this was a special effect of the equipment: as long as the durability does not reach zero, the equipment will not sustain any damage, nor will it become soiled. Although the two pieces of clothing Chen Yi wore were of the lowest quality, they had undergone significant enhancement, and their durability had long since exceeded expectations; they do not simply break when damaged.

With a bang, the ground cracked, and a visible shockwave spread out. The bandits within the range of the shockwave immediately erupted with blood, some of them dying instantly from the impact. After releasing the diamond fragments, Chen Yi did not hesitate; he casually grabbed a luckless bandit who had survived the shock, and forcefully kneed him in the abdomen, rendering the struggling bandit incapable of resistance

The bandits who invaded the village quickly fled without a trace, although not many were able to truly escape

In his dream, Chen Yi recalled a conversation he had with his father in the past

Everyone, let's do our best! Drive these bandits out of our village!" shouted a leader

It was done! Chen Yi was overjoyed, although the villagers' gazes sent chills down his spine, especially from a few aunties, which made him feel even more uneasy. It is important to note that Chen Yi was definitely not associated with being ugly; he had a good physique, dressed well, and when he went out, he was undoubtedly a handsome guy.

The bandits were also filled with fear; on one side was the unknown combat strength of Chen Yi, and on the other were the villagers who were as energized as if they had been injected with adrenaline. One bandit could no longer withstand the pressure, threw down his weapon, and fled towards the village outskirts

I do not want to die! I still have plenty of time to squander, and I want to live a life of wealth!

Reflecting on the experiences of the past few days, Chen Yi has long felt a sense of unreality. Of course, anyone encountering such a situation would feel the same way. Time travel! How fantastical it is! From initially resisting it to now accepting it, Chen Yi is deeply afraid that this is merely a dream, and that upon waking, it will all truly be gone.

Seeing that the attention of the robbers was fully focused on him, Chen Yi made a disdainful expression and gestured provocatively at the robbers

After a long journey over mountains and valleys, Chen Yi finally saw a human village from atop a mountain, and tears began to flow uncontrollably, as he exclaimed in joy that he had finally encountered people.

No one plows the thin fields? What a good name

Everyone run! This guy is simply not someone we can contend with

Father Chen: "Son, come here! Today we will talk about life"

The villagers were immediately in tears, what a great person he is. Little did the villagers know that they were inviting the wolf into their midst...! ... As long as the wolf does not harm the heart.
