Chapter 002 Ugly is a bit ugly, but at least he is still alive
Disfigured beyond recognition is a very euphemistic term.
In fact, in the eyes of everyone, Wutong, who had a lucky escape from the hands of death, now has a severely burned face that should be described as terrifying.
"Seniors who traveled through time were all the proud ones of heaven. The ones who had a more miserable life experience still had a handsome face. I didn't expect that my luck was really bad, and I was a rare mixed soul."
The sycamore is still a sycamore. He is now leaning on the hospital bed and looking at the new buds that have just sprouted from the big tree outside the window. He is holding a Vulpix in his arms. Although the fur of this Vulpix is still shiny, Its eyes were dull, and the corners of its mouth would salivate from time to time.
When the two dying souls traveled and merged together, they reluctantly awakened the body that should have been lying cold on the ground. As people who have escaped from death, most of them will become more open-minded. It doesn't matter who is in charge and who is in charge, as long as they are alive. good.
"Unicorn"
Wutong looked at the green caterpillars on the big tree that were desperately eating the leaves. His fingernails sank deeply into his flesh without realizing it. In the depths of his seemingly calm and even somewhat dazed eyes, there was a faint fire of hatred and a deep feeling hidden in his eyes. Blame yourself.
"Don't worry, I will definitely help you recover some of your debts, no matter what the cost."
He whispered to himself softly, as if he was making a promise to the little creature that was no longer here. No one could imagine its importance to Wutong. It was almost the same existence as his family, but it died so insignificantly. .
At the same time, another more weighty rational soul memory also made Wutong understand that his weakness and naivety at that time was also one of the murderers of the One-horned Insect.
Today was the day he was discharged from the hospital. Wutong looked at the calendar. That day was September 24th, which was the autumnal equinox.
And now, it's spring.
The owner of the Vulpix who injured him that day was an extraordinary young man, although he ran away at that time, according to what his fellow insect-catching boys said.
Then, after he was sent to the hospital for rescue, he originally had a chance of survival due to the soul-piercing thing, but as an orphan, he had no money to continue treatment, so he would probably still die.
But a mysterious person paid all the treatment fees for him, and after confirming that his life symptoms had stabilized, the director of the hospital personally handed Wutong an elf ball with an elf inside.
Wutong still remembers very clearly what the dean said at that time. He will try his best to remember every detail about this matter.
"This is the Vulpix's elf ball. A certain adult asked me to hand it over to you. You don't have to worry about the cost of hospitalization. You can recuperate here until you recover. This money is also the compensation given to you by that adult. .”
An elf ball and a check for 100,000 alliance coins were handed over. The dean seemed worried that the child was ignorant, and said thoughtfully: "Wutong, although you may not be young enough to understand this when I tell you this, but After you recover from your injuries, the money will be enough for you to live a good life, so don’t worry about this matter anymore.”
The child in the dean's eyes didn't answer, but looked at him with a strange look, until he saw that the dean was feeling frightened and wanted to leave.
"Dean, if you are still here, please help me collect the bones of the unicorn bug and give it to me, okay?"
Wutong's voice was hoarse, hoarse than a broken gong, giving people a very dark feeling, because the fire not only ruined his appearance, but also burned his vocal cords. Fortunately, his eyesight was not greatly affected.
And now, today is his discharge day. His luggage is very simple. It is still a Poke Ball belonging to Vulpix, a check for a small amount of use, a change of clothes, and a small box containing the ashes of the Unicorn Bug. As well as several books related to elf knowledge.
While resting in the hospital, Wutong used the money to buy many books and continued to read and study.
The adult soul's understanding of elves is limited to the extent of having read the Unprinted Chapter in the original world; and the child's soul only has the concentration talent during the battle between elves and what it learned from the formula library. Superficial knowledge.
Wutong now knows very well that as a commoner and an orphan, the only way for him to make a fortune is to keep learning and arm himself with knowledge besides waiting for a mythical beast to fall from the sky and cry to be his pet. .
He left the hospital quietly, wearing a simple white long-sleeved T-shirt and trousers, and a hooded sweatshirt. Although most of his face was covered, other people in the hospital still avoided him, and Parents holding children will also cover their children's eyes, unnaturally afraid to let them look at them.
"auspicious"
Only the auspicious eggs passing by in the aisle, these little elves born to play the role of doctors and nurses, like a walking pink egg-shaped elf, would say hello to him.
"Goodbye, Geely Egg."
Wutong responded politely and lowly, but there was no fluctuation in either his expression or his voice, and it was difficult for his voice to fluctuate. The injured vocal cords cannot perform strenuous activities, which means that shouting and high-pitched voices must be avoided. Talk loudly and frequently, otherwise it is weak and fragile and can be easily injured.
Walking on the street, Wutong now has a clear plan and a clear goal. He knows that he should concentrate on doing one thing for the rest of his life, otherwise he will never have peace of mind.
There are now only over 90,000 of the 100,000 alliance coins left. For elf trainers, these 100,000 alliance coins can be used to buy some power-up items, skill machines and energy cubes, and they will soon bottom out.
However, in terms of prices in this world, except for things related to trainers, which are relatively expensive, the purchasing power is only slightly lower than the U.S. dollar that Wutong’s adult soul knows. With these alliance coins on hand, he estimates that he should be enough to hire a team. The construction team helped him build a simple laboratory in Joban Forest and purchase some experimental equipment.
In the world he knew, labor costs in all walks of life were quite expensive. However, in the elf world, since elves can be regarded as very cheap and high-performance workers, labor costs related to the construction industry are actually cheaper. There are many, and as for the materials, they can also be obtained locally in the Viridian Forest.
If he wanted to achieve his ultimate goal, Wutong knew that personal strength alone was not enough, so he had to form an organization and form his own force.
But these were too far away. First, he had to get an elf with great potential, and then officially register as a trainer.
Thinking of this, Wutong stroked the Vulpix in his arms while walking. From the moment it woke up in the morning until now, its body has been motionless, with occasional twitching.
Wutong understood the deep meaning behind the move of the adult who sent this incapacitated Vulpix, so he did not choose to kill it to vent his anger, but raised it. Wutong wanted this Only Vulpix lived well and lived until the last moment to witness the completion of his goal.
After the dean accidentally heard his subordinates talk about this, he was silent for a long time and just said, "Those who achieve great things must endure what ordinary people cannot tolerate."
Now, Wutong went to the housing agency first, and now Changpan has developed into a real city. After all, the timeline has now reached the exploration side of Hezhong.
At this point in time, Wutong understood that the elven knowledge and information he knew from another world might not be able to help, nor would he be able to become a golden finger.
Wutong used his adult experience to skillfully start looking for a suitable place to live. At the same time, he was complaining about his fate. Why did he forget to equip himself with a system as standard?
