【Interstellar Contract Magician】Ruyuanke

But the embarrassing thing is that we can't judge where in this place is relatively safe.

In fact, compared to diet and climate, combat plants are the biggest danger.

My understanding of combat plants is limited to the fact that they have crystals in their bodies and possess strong combat capabilities.

Luo Xun wasn't familiar with them either. After all, some low-level mercenary teams wouldn't proactively provoke combat plants, and would try to stay away from areas where combat plants were present. Therefore, at most, he knew some simple evasive and defensive strategies, but most of them were just theoretical.

After all, he shot the big flower with a gun and hit it but didn't hurt it. He was visibly immature in this regard.

We walked in the jungle according to the paper-level techniques provided by Luo Xun, trying to find a safe area.

The map coordinates on the optical computer no longer have any meaning.

A map that only has east, south, west and north and omits even the terrain is useless.

As daylight dawned, we found another swamp. But we had no intention of burying ourselves there. We were mainly interested in testing the sun-shielding effects of our straw raincoat cloak. The swamp was our fallback if the results weren't satisfactory. Otherwise, we'd have to hide.

Luo Xun was still processing the plants he had collected along the way. I could vaguely understand that these were either edible or valuable enough to be sold.

He said he became a mercenary for money. He was in dire need of money.

The sun gradually rose. As expected, the best way to control the sun's rays was to use these plants, which absorb sunlight and grow so lushly. My body was shielded by the large-leafed straw raincoat and hat, and I didn't feel any discomfort from the sun's burning. Although the air was still a little hot as it gradually warmed, I could move around normally.

In reality, we're truly aimless. We don't know where we're going, there's no known safe place. There's no destination. There's no end to this journey. It seems impossible to leave this place on our own. It feels like we're trying to squeeze in the cracks between us, just a little bit of breathing space, just a little bit, just a little bit. We have to rack our brains and fight for it. Every breath, every ounce of wiggle room, we have to fight with all our might. We have to fight with all our might.

I should have given it my all. After all, here, I had to protect myself. I was responsible for everything, including my life. I should have given it my all. Those who survived...

Those who survive are what the empire wants, right...

I never thought that military training could be so harsh.

Unbelievable. But it doesn't seem that surprising either.

I think I'm quite accepting of it, after all...but Luo Xun feels a little heavy-hearted.

Up ahead, I seemed to see two little girls. Ah, it was another team, a team of two girls.

But I was distracted for a moment, as if I remembered the rainy night when I fought side by side with the female orcs.

These two weren't orc females, but real girls, human women. Or perhaps even new human women.

They are safe. It's not easy. It's really amazing.

Well, I don't really know how to comment on this. My mindset has always been out of sync here. Back in the Alliance, I lived more and felt a little more normal, but now in the Empire, I've suddenly become a foreigner again... I don't understand anything, I don't even understand a single value system. I don't even understand what mainstream values ​​are.
