Chapter 8: A Calm Day
Chen Yi? What a strange name, but it's quite memorable
Yukari Yakumo! Where on earth are you? I hope that once I find you, you won't suddenly decide to eliminate me, as that would truly leave me with no way out
What does a dream matter? What does reality matter? Just treat them all seriously! For Chen Yi, the sense of unreality has completely dissipated and no longer exists
Shall we lie down for a night this evening? To enjoy the night view? Looking at the current sky, half of it is adorned with red clouds, while the other half is a deep blue, creating a scene that divides the sky into two parts, thought Chen Yi.
Do not be nervous, do not be nervous," Chen Yi quickly said
Why not give it a try? Chen Yi thought to attempt to attach the power of the ghostly deity to his eyes, hoping to enhance his vision. As a result, the moment the power was attached to his eyes, they turned a purplish-black color. His vision did not improve, but he did see numerous ghost-like entities flying around in the sky. In other words, he was seeing ghosts.
Chen Yi murmured, closing his eyes, intending to rest his mind, yet he unexpectedly fell asleep. How is it possible to sleep under direct sunlight! This is unscientific
Seeing the young girl who had already begun to tidy up the dishes, Chen Yi spoke up: "Hey! Miss Naoko."
Chen Yi lay on the grass, gazing directly at the sunlight without a care in the world
Oh, how impressive! Many little friends responded in unison
Ah! Lord Chen Yi is awake, everyone run!" A sharp-eyed child, noticing that Chen Yi is about to wake up, shouted to the children playing around him.
However, what exactly is the Central Plains?
The young girl nodded, retreated to the door, closed it, and turned to leave
A young girl's voice came through: "Lord Chen Yi, breakfast is ready."
Chen Yi stepped out of the room, and what met his eyes was the busy villagers. Although there were not many casualties among the villagers due to the bandit invasion yesterday, many houses were damaged and needed to be rebuilt, and the bodies of the bandits also needed to be disposed of
In this era, the concept of vegetarianism in Japan has already taken deep root in people's hearts. Under conditions of nutritional imbalance, how can development possibly be good? As for changing the thoughts of these villagers, that's a joke! How could an outsider like myself possibly effect such change? Chen Yi does not believe he possesses such great personal charm or eloquence.
Sharp Eye Potion: Greatly increases critical hit rate in the game, while in reality there is no such thing as a critical hit, so it can only enhance vision
Because breakfast was very simple, Chen Yi quickly finished eating. He turned to the little girl who was kneeling beside him and said, "What is your name? Did you make breakfast? It was delicious"
Looking at the vibrant red clouds, it is already nearing evening. I can't believe I have slept for so long, how strange
When Chen Yi sat up, he saw a group of children disappearing into the distance. What was going on? Chen Yi was greatly puzzled
The little girl's face immediately turned rosy, "Sir... Sir, my name is Naoko Aizawa. I made breakfast, and it is my honor that you are satisfied."
The adults are busy, while the children are playing, creating a very harmonious scene, thought Chen Yi
"What a great warrior! I heard from my father that this gentleman is a martial artist from the Central Plains!" another little boy said proudly
At this moment, Chen Yi felt that his dynamic vision had greatly improved, and his eyes had developed a function similar to that of a telescope. Chen Yi continuously enlarged his field of vision, and the moon occupied his entire view. Due to the enhancement of his eyes with special abilities, the surface of the moon began to distort. At this point, Chen Yi's vision had reached its maximum, yet he still could not see the true appearance of the moon
Unable to bear it any longer, Chen Yi could only run outside the village and find a patch of grass to sit down. He watched the villagers rebuilding their homes and the carefree children playing, completely unbothered by the shadow of the bandit invasion from yesterday. After all, this is how the era is; under the threat of monsters and other events, humanity must adapt to such a way of life in order to survive
Walking through the village, whenever I saw a villager in need of assistance, I would lend a hand. However, compared to the villagers, whose average height does not exceed 160 centimeters, Chen Yi, at 180 centimeters, stood out significantly.
Looking at the blushing young girl, Chen Yi said nothing. Whether a grown man could eat the food delivered to him by Chen Yi was another matter altogether
In the next moment, Chen Yi was drawn to the red clouds on the horizon. After all, in modern times, due to severe air pollution, one hardly has the opportunity to witness such a scene. However, now, in an environment free from any pollution, the scenery in the sky is vastly superior to that of the modern world.
It is settled then. In any case, with my current strength, I am no longer afraid of any mosquitoes, insects, snakes, or similar small creatures.
Listening to the bustling sounds outside the village, a new day has begun. Chen Yi lay on the ground and thought, but... he did not want to get up
Is today the fifteenth? The moon is so large! Speaking of which, there is said to be a city on the moon in this world. Ordinary people are unable to see the true appearance of the city due to the barrier surrounding it. However, can I see the city myself?
Completely asleep, Chen Yi was entirely unaware that he was being maliciously observed by a group of little friends after falling asleep, as the village children gathered around him, whispering among themselves
Ah? The young girl was suddenly startled, nearly knocking over the utensils in her hand
A group of children began to gather around Chen Yi and whisper among themselves
"Hmph, you don't know, do you? I heard from Grandpa the village chief that the Central Plains is a very powerful realm, vast and incredibly mysterious, and its name is also different from ours," said a little girl. "Just like this adult, I heard from Grandpa the village chief that their name is Chen Yi, yes! The surname is Chen and the given name is Yi."
Is this the noble warrior who saved us yesterday? So young!
Chen Yi began to daydream, what a truly peaceful day it is
The sunlight streamed through the window, illuminating Chen Yi's face, causing him to impatiently turn over in his sleep, avoiding the direct rays of the sun, and continue to linger in bed
Since someone has arrived, it would not be appropriate to remain in bed any longer. Chen Yi got up, rubbed his face, and gathered his spirits. He said towards the door: "Alright, you may come in."
Chen Yi waved his hand, indicating that it was unnecessary to do so
Should I sleep a little longer? Rubbing his eyes and turning over, Chen Yi planned to sleep for a while when the doorbell rang
Have we reached the limit? Chen Yi thought, not yet! He took out a bottle of Sharp Eye potion and downed it.
There is nothing left, nothing left. I see you haven't had breakfast yet, so you should hurry back to www.hetushu.com to have your breakfast. I do not require excessive attention.
The red clouds at the horizon gradually faded, and the villagers in the village returned to their homes to prepare for rest. The pitch-black night enveloped the entire sky, and countless stars began to twinkle. A huge bright moon hung in the sky, dispelling the surrounding darkness, and even the lawn where Chen Yi lay was bathed in a layer of silvery light
It seems I have become as powerful as Lord Chen Yi, so I will no longer fear robbers
Although simple, it greatly whetted Chen Yi's appetite after several days of eating fruit
After all, in modern times, when one looks at the sky, one may find that what should be a clear blue sky has turned gray and murky, completely unrelated to the term "clear".
The power of blood energy was withdrawn, and it was time for the power of fluctuation. As the power of fluctuation just attached to his eyes, Chen Yi's vision immediately turned dark... blind. However, Chen Yi was not anxious; although he could see nothing, he was acutely aware of his surroundings. He even knew the next movements of some small insects, yet he could not see anything—he only knew, rather than "saw." Nevertheless, Chen Yi remained calm; despite his blindness, he was distinctly aware of the environment around him, including the forthcoming actions of small insects, but he could not see anything—he only knew, not "saw."
Ah, the lazy ones who linger in bed. Even when they are awake, they are reluctant to get up, insisting on fidgeting under the covers until they have had enough. Only then do they slowly get dressed, often postponing breakfast, while the computer is definitely the first thing to be turned on after getting out of bed (isn't this the case for many people?)
It was only when the sky was tinged with red clouds that Chen Yi slowly woke up
Indeed! I am so envious of Lord Chen Yi's strength
This is the wonder of the power of fluctuation. When the power of fluctuation is removed, the surroundings immediately regain their brightness, leaving only the thought energy. If that does not work, there will be no other options left. As the thought energy attaches, Chen Yi feels a tingling sensation in his eyeballs, as if electric currents are stimulating them. The color of his eyes does not change; however, numerous white currents are shimmering within his pupils.
Decisively withdrawing the power of the ghostly deity, Chen Yi replaced it with the power of blood. Instantly, Chen Yi's entire eyes turned crimson, and his vision was shrouded in a layer of red mist. When he looked at his own arm, ... Chen Yi could clearly "see" the trajectory of his blood flowing ... ... an essential skill for killing and looting ... ...
Oh! It is like this, my body is a bit special; I only need to eat a small amount of food each day, so there is no need to deliver the meals in the afternoon anymore
So this esteemed person is called Chen Yi. Yesterday, Lord Chen Yi single-handedly defeated many bandits.
... ...
The previously limited vision has once again increased, and the distortions on the surface of the Moon have completely vanished, replaced by an expanse of ocean, upon which a blue planet is reflected
Naoko understood that if there were no further instructions from the adult, she would take her leave first
After a brief moment of panic, the young girl settled down and asked, "Is there anything else you would like to instruct me, sir?"
Indeed, after his journey through time, Chen Yi's demand for food has been diminishing as his strength has increased. Of course, if he wanted to eat, he could certainly consume all the resources of this village with his voracious appetite
Indeed! But is this possible? After all, Lord Chenyi is from the East
After Chen Yi walked out of the house, the villagers who saw him stopped what they were doing and bowed to him in respect
"I apologize for the intrusion." A young girl with a delicate appearance walked in, carrying a wooden tray with both hands. The tray held a simple meal: a bowl of soup and two vegetable dishes.
One must look down when speaking with the villagers. Although it feels good to look down on others, what happens if one does it too often? The neck will hurt!
