Scientific Travel

No matter what, Wei Wujiang couldn't possibly shrink into such a small ball.

unless......

...He was chopped into pieces.

Despite having a warm blanket pressed against her body, Deng Yin still couldn't help but shiver.

No matter what Gou Dan asked him to do to Wei Wujiang, who had been turned into a mangled corpse, he would absolutely not do it!

Even if it's just 200 points!

Just then, Gou Dan pointed at the people inside and said, "See? I told you there were people inside. I'll hold the boat here, you go in and take a look."

"No!" Deng Yin's voice rose several octaves, and he took several steps back. "Let me tell you, whatever you want me to do, give up on that idea now. Even if you give me points, I will absolutely not do it!"

Dog Egg's heart skipped a beat.

...So she already knows?

Then why did she refuse? Didn't she have a good impression of Mei Shengke? There were even silver coins Mei Shengke had given her in the bracelet.

Thinking this way, Gou Dan asked, "Why? Don't you like her a lot?"

"I like him?!" Deng Yin exclaimed as if a cat whose tail had been stepped on. "You can measure my heart rate? Prove it, or I'll sue you for defamation!"

Can a system that defames humanity be prosecuted?

Gou Dan looked puzzled; he didn't know why Deng Yin was reacting so strongly.

"Isn't that right? If you don't like her, why would you put the things she gave you into your bracelet?"

"A bracelet?" Deng Yin sensed something was wrong. The system had been by her side the whole time, so it couldn't possibly not know that she had never put anything Wei Wujiang had given her into the bracelet.

"Who is inside?"

"Mei Shengke."

"......"

Realizing that Deng Yin might have mistaken someone for someone else, the system teased, "Who did you think you were just now?"

As long as no one is dead, Deng Yin calmed down and his logic returned.

"How would I know? Her whole face was covered by the cloak, it would be a miracle if I could recognize her." Before leaving, Deng Yin couldn't resist adding a sarcastic remark: "I'm not like you, with the ability to see through things."

Deng Yin put his hands behind his back and quickly stretched them out at the same time, saying in a very fast voice, "Guess which hand I have the gold coin in."

Dog Egg didn't expect her to pull this stunt and didn't react for a moment.

"Left hand."

Deng Yin first opened his left hand, then his right hand.

"you guessed wrong."

Dog Egg's face flushed red, and he broke down, saying, "Okay, okay, I was just kidding. I don't have X-ray vision at all, alright?"

Deng Yin happily stored the gold coins in his spatial storage and said lightly:

"I was just kidding. Actually, you guessed right. I switched the gold coins at the last minute."

Deng Yin feigned regret and sighed, "I didn't expect you to self-destruct so easily. I thought you really had the ability to see through things."

Dog Egg: "......"

He's using all the gambling tactics on him...

Indeed, gambling is a bad habit!

It not only hurts people, but also damages the system!

Gou Dan wanted to say something, but he knew that if he kept talking, Mei Shengke would be gone.

"It's fake that I have X-ray vision, but it's true that she's dying. Will you save her or not?"

"save."

If it were Wei Wujiang, Deng Yin would definitely have to beat Gou Dan up before saving him. But if it were Mei Shengke, she would save him even if Gou Dan didn't say anything.

"Bring her in, be careful not to hurt her."

Dog Egg looked on in disbelief; he couldn't accept Deng Yin's complete 180-degree change in attitude.

Don't hurt her! Who will protect the system's authority?

That's what he thought, but Gou Dan didn't complain and obediently carried Mei Shengke inside.

It was obvious that this was his first time doing something like this, and he was very inexperienced.

He stuffed Mei Shengke into his cloak, holding the two corners with one hand, more like lifting him than carrying him.

Fortunately, the cloak was big enough, and Mei Shengke had lost a lot of weight recently, otherwise he really wouldn't have been able to fit it all in.

In the short time it took Deng Yin to turn his head, he saw him come in carrying a cloak.

Deng Yin: "..."

He'd kill the man even if he didn't die...

Deng Yin can't cure diseases, but he can feed people water.

The water in the space could cure all diseases, so she set up the navigation and drove home, feeding Mei Shengke water every half hour along the way.

Mei Shengke had a fever, and since there was still some fever reducer left over from the last time Wang Xi was given, Deng Yin also gave Mei Shengke one.

It was indeed effective; Mei Shengke's fever subsided within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn after taking it.

But he didn't wake up.

Deng Yin drove the boat at its fastest speed and arrived home in half the time it took to go there.

Boats that go fast are prone to causing seasickness, and without a balancing device, they are easily tossed about.

Deng Yin spread several quilts on the bed, making it soft and cozy. Although the journey was bumpy, Mei Shengke didn't bump into anything.

Deng Yin looked at Mei Shengke lying on the bed and felt a pang of emotion.

She was much thinner than the last time I saw her; her cheeks were no longer as chubby as before, but rather began to hollow out.

Was she not getting enough to eat in the army?

It's not exactly dangerous outside, but it's certainly not safe either. She went out alone and fainted on the boat—what happened at the military camp?

Where is Wei Wujiang? Can't he see that Mei Shengke isn't doing well? How could he let her come out alone?

The temperature inside the boat was very high. Dog Egg didn't like the cold, so he specially hung up the air conditioner.

There was only one air conditioner, so the bed that Mei Shengke was lying on originally belonged to Gou Dan.

Gou Dan pouted and stood aside watching Deng Yin take care of Mei Shengke.

Although Deng Yin's rescue of Mei Shengke was arranged by him, something is wrong with the process!

How come all that rescue efforts ended up taking away his bed?

There were plenty of rooms on the ship, and Gou Dan could have gone to lie down in another room, but he refused. He insisted on leaning against the wall and thinking about the background.

With such a large person standing there, Deng Yin couldn't ignore him even if he wanted to.

"Tell me, why did you guide me to save her?"

Dog Egg wasn't surprised that she had guessed it.

With so many flaws, if Deng Yin still couldn't guess them, then he would be incredibly stupid.

"Mei Shengke is the female protagonist of this world. If she dies, you may not be able to return to your world."

Deng Yin's first reaction was: Mei Shengke is actually the female lead! Does that mean she'll end up with the male lead, Wei Wujiang?

Such a wonderful person, how could she fall for someone who always tries to force themselves on someone...?

Your taste isn't very good...

"Wait a minute," Deng Yin said belatedly, "What do you mean if she dies, I might never be able to return to my original world? Didn't you say I could go back after completing all the missions? How is it related to her? Does that mean I need to do missions related to her next?"

Dog Egg shook his head and explained, "I don't know what the next task is either. The tasks are all issued by the main god, and our system will only know when the time comes."
