Chapter 3: Salvation

It seemed that he had seen through Xuan Ye's thoughts, and the smile on the burly man's face grew even more radiant

Although he holds great admiration for the father of the original owner of this body and is deeply moved by his selfless efforts for his son, he recognizes that this is merely someone else's father. The images in his memory are just that—images—lacking the influence of a soul's imprint and personality, and thus he does not experience any sense of familial affection

Feeling the data transmitted in his mind, precise to several decimal places, Xuan Ye also felt a bit of a headache. Would it be the case that in the future, he would naturally see or touch something and these things would pop up? If so, the burden on his mind would be too great

......

Opening his eyes to the somewhat worn and faded leather canopy above, he heard the surrounding voices in a cacophony, and felt the blanket beneath him. As he hazily recalled the events, he emerged from the boundary between dreams and reality, realizing that he was not dreaming. After waking up, Xuan Ye felt a sense of relief deep within; it seemed that he had been rescued, and his life appeared to be spared.

With this vivid negative example in mind, Xuan Ye instantly developed a great wariness towards women, especially beautiful women. He knew his own circumstances; he was neither a man of unwavering will like Liu Xia Hui, nor was he a homosexual with issues regarding his sexual orientation. In the past, he was merely a lecherous shut-in who had lustful thoughts but lacked the courage to act on them.

A few people nearby were joking and making a commotion while resting, causing the noise to become somewhat chaotic, and there was a foul smell in the air

Given the current physical condition of this body, even with an injury, it is still possible to walk with this heavy backpack and keep up with the team.

Well, at least I did not end up in the worst-case scenario; that big guy merely made himself a laborer to carry things, and the compensation consisted of bandages and medicine for his shoulder wound, as well as food and drink along the way

As she delved deeper into her thoughts, Xuan Ye suddenly felt a profound sense of failure in being human, wondering why...

In this unbearable heat, on the sandy ground where the air is distorted enough to roast an egg, a figure is now lying face up.

Four towering tents are sufficient to accommodate fifty to sixty people, while the ten or so camels tied outside are also skillfully resting in the shade of the tents

Adapting to his new body, Xuan Ye couldn't help but chuckle self-deprecatingly. Regarding the "Clear Vision" special inscription, which was rather useless, he naturally understood, having awakened his bloodline and being aware of the characteristics of his own bloodline power, that it was certainly something that complemented his bloodline.

Xuan Ye, who had collapsed on the ground and was completely devoid of any strength, could not help but feel a twinge of sorrow for himself at that moment

You have awakened, young man. It is fortunate for you that you encountered someone as warm-hearted as I; otherwise, it is likely that there would be nothing left of you but a corpse

Certainly, the state of lifting and the state of long-term carrying are clearly different. The current package weighing 156.1 pounds happens to be a boundary state that can be carried for an extended period.

Ah, this kid is simply a disappointment. To be reborn into such a delusional youth, isn't that a bit unlucky? Hmph, to be so easily captivated by beauty. If it were me, uh, if it were me...

The experience of drifting through the universe does not directly enhance one's strength, but when combined with the inherently powerful bloodline, it fills one's future with infinite possibilities

Although self-comforting suggests there is still a chance, I am afraid...

Young man, you do not seem to be the type of pampered noble heir, nor do you carry the aura of a prominent family. Achieving the rank of Level 6 Knight Squire at your age, given your ordinary background, is already quite commendable, and your future career holds promise. However, your mental and willpower training is still lacking; wincing at this little pain shows that you need to cultivate the mindset of a strong individual to possess the strength of one.

This fellow, although he had some ulterior motives in saving himself, is indeed a decent person. After adjusting the distance between the strap on his shoulder and the wound on his shoulder, Xuan Ye also stepped up to match the rhythm of the group, walking alongside a beast of burden dragging tents and food

Although it is already the second life, the previous death on Earth was truly too swift, ending in an instant without leaving him any impression. This is the first time he has truly come into close contact with death, and the terror between life and death is immense

Enjoying the last moments of life, I have completely lost the strength to escape the scorching sands of the dark night, and can only, in a state of blurred will, mock myself one last time deep within, still no one has tempted me with a hint of color, I am unwilling!

"Indeed, what I desire is your body"

If we were to mention a few advantages of the so-called "little homebodies," it would be their strong psychological adaptability; after a moment of confusion, they manage to regain their spirits.

Regarding such a stiff expression of gratitude, Luoluoji clearly had no intention of delving deeper into it. Perhaps he had burned out his brain or was simply a bit of a stutterer; in any case, it was none of his business.

After letting out a sigh, Xuan Ye began to move this already weary body, starting to search for food and water sources. It seemed that before entering this body, he was already in a state of injury and thirst. If he did not make an effort to find supplies while the night was approaching, the desert climate during the day tomorrow would likely take away his hard-won life.

Although he had just awakened from a coma, he merely attempted to recall the basic breathing techniques from his fragmented memories. With sufficient food intake and the fine-tuning of his internal database, he was able to restore most of his strength in just two hours of rest, achieving results and speed far beyond what he remembered

Feeling the bitter yet slightly cool stream of water, the half-conscious night greedily took a few more sips, only to be choked awake afterwards

I do not know what kind of story this body, which has been nearly ruined by my father, possesses that allowed him to reach level 9, and to have such a coveted legacy. However, what use is a level 9 knight attendant? In the end, he was still reduced to this state.

No one has ever come to entice me, what a pity...

High temperature, water scarcity, disorientation, poisonous insects, sand bandits

If you are capable of helping, it would not be a bother; however, the current situation has clearly exceeded the scope of what can be managed

and ... ...

With great effort, he opened his heavy eyelids and, after looking at the rugged man in front of him with a full beard, the last thought he had before losing consciousness was to retract his previous statement

It seems that women are indeed a terrifying species, and I will have to be more cautious in the future

Xuan Ye turned to look in the direction of the voice and saw a man who was at least two meters tall, with muscles bulging all over his body. He casually wrapped a piece of animal skin around his right half, seemingly unafraid of the heat and the blazing sun, and was looking at Xuan Ye with a mocking expression.

Cough cough ... ...

Gradually coming to one's senses and recalling, there is a strange feeling that mixes fear, confusion, and a hint of faint excitement

There is no way around it. Although he can extract fragments of the original owner's memories, speaking in a completely unfamiliar language is always somewhat halting. It is likely to take a considerable amount of time to adapt

Thank you, thank you

one's own parents

The golden desert stretches endlessly, and under the scorching sun, the air appears distorted due to the high temperatures. Beneath the beautiful, dreamlike scenery lies an abundance of peril and the looming threat of death

Wearing oversized foot pads to prevent sinking into the sand and carrying an old leather bag weighing around 150 to 160 pounds, which is taller than a person, although the wound on his shoulder has been treated and bandaged, the strain from this weight still caused Xuan Ye to grimace.

From the fragmented memories of the master, he managed to extract some relevant snippets about survival in the desert. However, these were ultimately just images that had been reduced to data. Knowing is one thing, but putting it into practice is another. A whole night passed, and he didn't catch a single sand rat, wasting the little stamina he had left.

With a casual wave of his large hand, which was about the size of a fan, this seemingly generous and burly man with a thick beard grinned, revealing his white, gleaming teeth as he spoke

Oh, a little brat has come to such a deep place, looks like he has decent strength, somewhat valuable...

This psychological oppression is truly an experience and encounter that a previously reclusive individual has never faced before, leaving them utterly stunned

However, thinking back to the moment when the bloodline awakened, under the observation of the Eye of Breaking the Law, the situation where his head exploded in two seconds made him suddenly feel that what he faced now was already a stroke of luck. Moreover, the slight adjustment to the basic breathing technique seemed to indicate the auxiliary role of this data

In this situation, upon introspection, even if I have lived a few more years than the original dark night, if I have no preparation or vigilance whatsoever, it is likely that my circumstances as a single person for over twenty years would still...

To avoid falling into such a tragedy oneself, the only solution is to take preventive measures and remain vigilant in advance

This aspect is likely something that ordinary people absolutely do not possess, although it is estimated that there is still a gap compared to the advanced breathing techniques used by the aristocracy that I remember. However, this was originally something quite common, and if I were to acquire something better in the future, the results would likely be even more remarkable

The thought that flashed through Xuan Ye's mind before he fell unconscious, when he was mocking himself, involuntarily sent a shiver down his spine. Now, apart from himself, he truly has nothing to offer as a reward!

With somewhat stiff language, Xuan Ye expressed his gratitude, his voice sounding somewhat hoarse and stammering

I never expected that the hard-won opportunity for rebirth, the fortunate bloodline power, and the renewed external aid would come to an end before they even truly began

It is precisely because this seemingly trivial matter has brought about life-threatening troubles for him and his cheap father

After muttering a couple of words in disdain about the original owner of this body, Xuan Ye was just about to highlight his own superiority through the other person's actions when he recalled the appearance of that seductive alchemist who had tempted him, causing him to involuntarily swallow his saliva.

The changes may seem minimal, yet that slight adjustment transforms the originally rigid and mechanical basic breathing technique into one that is entirely tailored to the current physical condition of the individual. As one's physical fitness continues to improve, the breathing technique also undergoes constant modifications, seemingly adapting to the subtle changes in the body at every moment, with a rhythm that varies accordingly

Apart from the occasional instinctive convulsions caused by the scorching ground, he was no different from a corpse. It was a peculiar form of examination. A deep wound on his shoulder clearly showed signs of pus and infection. However, it seemed that this person's physical condition was significantly better than that of an average person; otherwise, a normal individual would have likely succumbed long ago, rather than being able to twitch occasionally as he did now

Well, I don't know what kind of feed the people on this planet are raised on, but it seems that the women are quite attractive. Just look at that provocative face of the drugged woman, and her ample bosom, which is even more alluring than those young models I've seen online after makeup and Photoshop.

The result turned into this state of a salted fish when the sun rose

You are even worse off than this delusional teenager

Although carrying such a heavy burden for this meager reward seems excessively exploitative, Xuan Ye had nothing much to say. The other party was the one who saved his life, and this small return could hardly be considered anything significant

As long as one maintains this vigilant mindset, perseverance can ultimately lead to the completion of brainwashing

According to the feedback from my soul database, this body is capable of lifting a weight of 633.4 pounds in an uninjured state, and even in the current injured condition, it can still manage a weight of 521.2 pounds, which is significantly better than the previous lethargic state

... ...

... ...

Who will come to save me? As long as someone saves me, I might as well get married...

On Earth

Just as his consciousness began to blur and he could no longer feel the thirst or the scorching heat of the ground, a voice that seemed to come from the horizon suddenly appeared in his ears. Following that, he vaguely sensed that someone was lifting the back of his collar.

This is not simply being beckoned by someone to float over eagerly

Under the scorching rays of the blazing sun, even the seasoned scavenging team had to set up a sunshade to take refuge from the afternoon heat

He has a vague impression of this face, as it seems to be the last person he saw before losing consciousness

Although I have acquired a body that is far superior to my previous one as a reclusive individual, my fundamental personality has not changed. I used to think that my willpower was quite good, but when I truly began to apply it in such dire circumstances, I realized how tragic it was.

Just as Xuan Ye was feeling speechless about some changes in his body, the familiar voice of the bearded man startled him. However, when he looked up again, the bearded man had already walked to the front of the team, leaving only his robust silhouette in view

Young man, to obtain anything here, one must make a sacrifice. I have already made the effort to save you and have just provided you with fresh water, so now you must repay me.
