Chapter 1, The Strange Wilderness

Just at the moment when Lu Chen was feeling troubled, a somewhat familiar cold mechanical voice suddenly resonated in his mind

Lu Chen did not forget that the last memory of the barbarian youth was when he was patrolling around the village, someone called his name, and when he turned back in confusion, he collapsed instantly

The taste of the hot soup is not unpleasant; it simply has a peculiar sensation

Thus, the heat emanating from the thick soup continuously circulated within Lu Chen's body, expelling the coldness within him

Alas

Unfortunately, Lu Chen, who accepted the memories of the original barbarian Chen, tragically discovered that this world is not simple

In addition to the cold, there were also layers of resentment and venom, along with the howls of anguish, filling Lu Chen's mind.

Witch, Achen... the situation... has changed!

Soon, Lu Chen recalled that when the hot soup dispelled the cold energy within his body, the mechanical sound had begun to resonate.

As his health improved, the piercing screams in Lu Chen's mind began to fade somewhat.

It could only lie in bed, allowing the coldness to erode its body, permitting the maddening voice of resentment to echo incessantly in its mind

However, although he is unclear about the current situation, Lu Chen also understands that if this continues to develop unchecked, he will inevitably face ruin

Just as Lu Chen felt that he was about to die, he inexplicably sensed someone approaching his bedside, making strange sounds

Could it be that I am ill, but there is no such illness!

Lu Chen was indeed dreaming, but whether it was a nightmare is open to interpretation

System prompt: The host has killed a Baiyou-level evil spirit and has gained 200 experience points

The struggle between the heat flow and the cold air, along with the incessant echoes of screams resonating in his mind, drained him of too much mental energy

That voice had a somewhat mechanical quality, devoid of any emotion, yet Lu Chen was very familiar with such a voice; he had heard it both in his original world and in this world.

Coldness, an endless chill permeated Lu Chen's heart and mind

As the chill of the darkness dissipated, the screams in Lu Chen's mind grew fainter and fainter

As the chill of the darkness dissipated, the whispers in his mind also fell silent

That kind of cold does not come from the outside, but rather emanates from within, as if a block of ice is filling Lu Chen's body, continuously radiating a chilling aura

The bizarre world, the identity of an orphan, and the insufficient food all made Lu Chen acutely aware of the difficulties of his situation

System prompt: The host's experience points are sufficient for an upgrade. Do you wish to upgrade? Yes / No

The host's experience points are sufficient, would you like to proceed with the upgrade

Lu Chen, who had crossed over, felt a sense of concern for the world he found himself in. However, he soon ceased to dwell on these thoughts, as the hunger in his stomach led him to contemplate more immediate matters.

The shaman, the number of ... ... around the village is increasing, if this continues, we will not be able to hold on for much longer

... ...

Even so, he was unable to think at all.

On this night, Lu Chen slept soundly for an entire night. It was only when the next day dawned bright and the sun had reached its zenith that Lu Chen fully awakened

In his dream, Lu Chen experienced the brief life of fifteen years, as well as the terrifying encounter at the end

Regrettably, although he had a premonition, the chilling aura that lingered within him, along with the incessant sound of mournful screams, rendered Lu Chen unable to take any action, despite his desire to do something

Doubt filled Lu Chen's body and mind

In the midst of that thick soup of stings, Lu Chen's cold sensation finally eased a little

As Lu Chen reminisced, a virtual screen soon appeared in his mind, displaying several familiar system logs.

This sound is from the foolish mobile game that I was creating when I crossed over, how did it follow me here

Soon, a small piece of meat was consumed by Lu Chen, and only at this moment did the hunger in his stomach begin to ease slightly

Without mentioning the peculiar powers of this world, even in their absence, Lu Chen is confident that he can thrive in this world using the knowledge from his original world

Struggling to get out of bed, Lu Chen relied on the memories he had merged with last night and began to fumble around the room. After a while, he directly grabbed a piece of cured meat and started to gnaw on it fiercely

When everything was calm, a cold, mechanical voice suddenly appeared in Lu Chen's mind

However, on this night, Lu Chen was destined to have an uneasy sleep. From an external perspective, it was clear to see Lu Chen continuously waving his arms in struggle, as if he were having a nightmare

In that dream, Lu Chen transformed from a promising young man of the 21st century into a barbaric youth named Chen, who resides in a primitive tribe.

Subsequently, it is everything that Lu Chen has experienced since his arrival in this world

At this moment, Lu Chen had already lost the inclination to pay attention to it

That was a maddening roar, and amidst that roar, Lu Chen felt a splitting headache, a strong impulse to bang his head against the wall

Not long after the two engaged in conversation, a bony finger pried open Lu Chen's mouth and poured in a bowl of hot soup that emitted a strange aroma

Unfortunate, this barbarian youth, no, it should be that I am an orphan in this world, with only this piece of food left at home, now, I need to consider the issue of food

As a promising young man of the twenty-first century, Lu Chen was somewhat bewildered at this moment, as he had no idea why he suddenly found himself in such a situation

From that memory, it seems I have traversed from the Celestial Empire to a barbaric tribe, yet this world is somewhat unusual

"When someone calls a name, they turn around and fall over; such a situation seems somewhat out of place in a wild world. Shouldn't the wilderness be characterized by rampant beasts and the struggle between man and nature? What is happening now, and how has it developed towards a supernatural realm?"

"That's not right. I remember coming to this world and hearing this voice. When was it?"

... ...

However, at that time, Lu Chen had fainted from exhaustion and did not hear clearly. It was only when the voice sounded again that he recalled.

To be honest, traveling to the primitive tribe did not make Lu Chen feel uncomfortable

May the ancestors bless him

Moreover, it is not just my fainting incident; the clan leader and the shaman have recently instructed us not to go out at night. There is always a sense that something is amiss in this world

At last, before the heat emanating from the thick soup and the books dissipated, the cold energy within Lu Chen was first completely dispelled.

"It is not very good. I will give him... medicine later, which may help him survive. We can only wait and see what happens to him."

However, looking at the last remaining half piece of meat, Lu Chen revealed a bitter smile on his face

Unfortunately, although his head was splitting with pain, the cold and阴寒气 within his body rendered Lu Chen completely unable to move

Damn it, what on earth is happening? If this continues, we will have to play!

However, after waking up, Lu Chen sat on the bed for quite a while before regaining his senses

When those annoying things dissipated, Lu Chen, due to his physical exhaustion, fell asleep directly

The words were few, yet filled with sorrow. However, Lu Chen, at this moment, had no mood to pay attention to them; the situation within his own body had consumed all his energy.

This bizarre experience instilled a sense of terror in Lu Chen

This is the system's sound, and I remember that the system logs can be viewed

I am so hungry; the state of the world can be discussed later, but it is time to eat now

That voice was a crude and strange language, yet Lu Chen inexplicably understood its meaning

If it cannot be familiarized, then the system log was produced by him staying up late

However, as the thick soup entered his stomach, a warm sensation filled Lu Chen's body and mind

Alas, this is undoubtedly a hellish start
