PFC Chapter 846: Lu Lu'er
Chapter 846: Lu Lu'er
"Never mind, let's go there first and talk about it later."
Seeing that more and more mutated beings were gathering on the street, Chen Futu decided to trust the kind-hearted person not far away, just to be on the safe side, and prepare for battle if necessary.
In a moment of distraction, Chen Futu grabbed Qin Xiaoman and darted to the window, whereupon she quickly closed it.
The three of them pressed themselves against the window and secretly observed. Through the observation hole, they discovered that the monsters on the street outside had lost their target and gradually dispersed after wandering around for a while.
"Phew, that's terrifying."
Qin Xiaoman secretly breathed a sigh of relief, patting her full breasts, her face still showing lingering fear.
Chen Futu then looked at the kind-hearted person beside him.
The other person was disheveled, looking like a beggar who hadn't washed in years, and had a pungent odor; it also seemed to be a woman.
Chen Futu was observing the other party, and the other party was naturally also observing the two uninvited guests. "Hello, my name is Lu Lu'er, and you are?"
"They came here as refugees."
Chen Futu was worried that the identity of the person from the lower realm would cause trouble, so he fabricated an identity before Qin Xiaoman answered, since the other party would have no way to investigate anyway.
Qin Xiaoman snapped out of her daze and nodded repeatedly, acting like a drama queen, adding details to the two characters' identities.
For example, when her hometown suffered a catastrophe, she had to leave her home and eke out a living. When she talked about her sad experiences, Qin Xiaoman even wiped away two tears.
Chen Futu never expected her to be such a drama queen; he truly admired her acting skills.
Lu Lu'er's dirty face wore a half-smile. "Judging from your clothes, you don't seem like refugees."
"By chance, we found clothes along the way and even took a bath, so we finally felt refreshed," Chen Futu said.
"Alright, what are your plans next?"
"Naturally, we should settle things down first before considering anything else."
Chen Futu surveyed the room. Apart from basic furniture and a bed, there was nothing else. However, there was some dried food and canned sewage on the table.
"I don't have much food, so feel free to eat whatever you want. But if you eat my food, you'll have to share it with me."
Lulu pointed to the so-called food.
Qin Xiaoman immediately shook her head vigorously, "No need, I'm not hungry."
Her stomach had rumbled, but that didn't mean she was going to eat those strange, dark things.
"It seems you've had too many good days and don't know the value of food."
Lu Luer pursed her lips, sat down and gnawed on the shriveled, almost moldy thing. The crunching sound as she chewed was enough to make your teeth ache.
Chen Futu smiled and then inquired about the town from her.
"This is Blackwater City. There are quite a few survivors, but they are scattered in their respective strongholds. Aside from encountering each other when going out to find food, they basically never meet."
At this point, Lulu slammed her fist on the table in frustration, "When will this damned natural disaster ever end!"
"A natural disaster? What exactly are these monsters?"
"What else could it be but the pursuit of immortality? All the important people think about is immortality, but they didn't get immortality, they got a world mutation instead."
According to Lulu, everything outside is a product of rule mutation.
The powerful figures have gone astray, causing uncontrollable changes in the rules of this place, resulting in a catastrophe. The people at the top are powerful enough that they may not care about these things, but how are the people at the bottom supposed to live? They can only eke out a living!
Because of this damned variable, countless people have died.
"So, don't you find it funny?"
Lu Lu asked steadily, her clear black and white eyes filled with deep-seated hatred.
Chen Futu pondered to himself, if explained using the rules of Earth, it is the conservation of energy. Where there is immortality, there is death. The sins committed by the upper class must be borne by the lower class. As a result, the original rules are in chaos, and the world is more inclined towards death, thus creating so many monsters that are like the living dead.
As she spoke, Qin Xiaoman suddenly looked pained.
Chen Futu was startled and quickly helped her up. Her face was deathly pale as she murmured, "Brother Chen, I feel so bad..."
Lulu, who was eating, suddenly stood up, looking surprised.
Chen Futu immediately pointed at the dragon sparrow and asked, "What are you going to do?"
"Don't be nervous, her body is undergoing a transformation."
"What do you mean?"
“You lied to me. I thought you were a traveler from another land, but I didn’t expect you to be from the lower realm. You are strong enough, but she is not. So in order to adapt to the rules of a higher level, her body will reach the lower limit of adapting to this world in a short period of time.”
Lulu explained, appearing quite composed.
Chen Futu suddenly realized that a mortal from the lower realm had suddenly arrived in a higher plane and was forcibly transformed to adapt to the will of heaven and earth, reaching the lower limit of his current survival. In short, he was forcibly promoted to the level of a Martial God.
“I’ve seen people from the lower realm before, so don’t worry. As long as she can hold on, there won’t be any problems.”
Lu Luer pointed to the bed not far away.
Chen Futu, without suspecting anything, quickly carried Qin Xiaoman to the bed and then stuffed a divine pill into her mouth.
Lu Lu'er complained, "The divine pill is useless; it's not as good as the things I eat."
Under the higher rules of the world, the divine pill no longer possesses the power of the lower realm; it is merely a piece of food the size of a fingernail.
"System, exchange for some food."
"receive."
The system sells food at very low prices, costing only one system point per serving.
To Lu Lu'er's astonishment, Chen Futu magically produced a nutritious meal, consisting of meat porridge, white rice, and two servings of stir-fried meat—a proper two-dish meal with a soup.
Lu Lu'er was completely stunned by what she saw.
She hadn't eaten normal food for years, and the man in front of her had managed to get food as soon as he arrived in the world, food that matched the current world's level. How was that possible?
"Thank you for your help, this is for you."
Chen Futu didn't hide anything and simply conjured up an identical dish and placed it in front of her as if by magic.
Lu Lu'er was stunned for two seconds, then pounced on the food like a wild boar snatching food, grabbing chopsticks and devouring it in a whirlwind. Her eating manners were astonishing, as if she wanted to swallow the whole plate.
She ate and cried at the same time, "Waaah, I only now do I feel like I'm a living person..."
Chen Futu wanted to say something, but couldn't bring himself to speak.
Look at how pitiful they are, it's truly heartbreaking.
Silence fell over the room. Chen Futu fed Qin Xiaoman some meat soup, and she drifted off to sleep. It would take her some time to accept the leap. As for him, he silently ate the remaining rice and stir-fried meat.
After eating and drinking her fill, Lu Lu'er leaned back in her chair and hummed comfortably, "You're quite capable. It seems you're a very important person in the lower realm."
"It's in the past, no need to mention it again."
"Brother, let's team up. With me, a local, around, you can avoid a lot of pitfalls. As long as you provide me with basic necessities, I can tell you the current rules of survival. How about it?"
Lu Lu'er leaned closer and said mysteriously.
"Tell me your thoughts, and I'll consider whether or not to cooperate with you."
