Quick Transmigration: I'm the Villain's Assistant to the Protagonist
Chapter 77 Tracing the Ancient Past 1
Satisfied, Shen Ying leaned back in her chair, touching her slightly protruding belly, and began to think about how to return the favor to her seemingly aloof but actually friendly and lovely neighbor next door.
Just as she was racking her brains, her eyes inadvertently swept across the mirror in the room. The sight that met her eyes froze her in shock, followed by a silent groan of despair.
The person in the mirror had messy hair like a bird's nest, water stains on their face, and wrinkled pajamas with food scraps stuck to them. Their appearance was so slovenly it was unbearable to look at.
"Oh dear! So this is what I've looked like this since this morning when facing my new neighbors!" Shen Ying covered her face with her hands, wishing she could disappear into a crack in the ground.
Shen Ying, who was forcing herself to selectively forget, sat on the sofa with her brows furrowed and her hands supporting her chin, lost in deep turmoil.
"How about I give him a box of cookies I made myself? But what if he doesn't like sweets? Besides, my cooking skills are so-so, it might turn into a disaster. No way," she muttered to herself.
"Or should I give him one of my treasured books? But what if he doesn't like reading?" Shen Ying stood up and paced back and forth in the room, her mind a jumble of thoughts.
"How about knitting him a scarf? Oh no, that would take too much time, and my knitting skills are just so-so." She shook her head again, sat back down on the sofa, looking troubled.
"How about giving him a potted plant? But wouldn't that be too ordinary?" Shen Ying became more and more conflicted, picking up one thing to look at and then putting down another, unable to make up her mind.
"Ugh, what should I give him to express my gratitude and also make him like it?" Shen Ying scratched her hair in frustration, her head practically popping out of its socket.
"How about I treat him to dinner too!" Considering the exquisite meal he had given her, Shen Ying, unusually generous, decided to take him to a restaurant!
She tidied up the food box and gently knocked on the door next door.
The door opened, and her neighbor appeared. Shen Ying beamed and said, "Thank you, it's so delicious! Did you make this yourself?"
The neighbor was silent for a moment, then nodded, his voice low and deep: "Mm."
Shen Ying was slightly taken aback, then said, "You're really amazing! To show my gratitude, I'll treat you to a meal at a restaurant next time, how about that?" Her eyes were full of anticipation, and her face was beaming with enthusiasm.
The neighbor shook his head and refused, saying, "No."
Unexpectedly rejected, Shen Ying stood there awkwardly, speechless for a moment, and the air seemed to freeze for a few seconds.
When Shen Ying heard the other person say, "I don't like eating out, I prefer to cook for myself," she snapped out of her daze and quickly replied, "No wonder you're such a great cook."
Another awkward silence ensued. Shen Ying didn't know what to say to him, so she just gave a dry laugh and said, "Okay, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!"
The neighbor nodded gently and said "Goodbye".
Shen Ying turned and walked back, thinking to herself, "As for the return gift, I'll think of another way."
[Game Title: Ancient Trails]
[Game Identity: Abandoned Woman of the Tribe]
[Game Introduction: On an ordinary day, the protagonist Gao Su encountered a bizarre accident and was instantly swept into a mysterious time vortex, arriving in the distant prehistoric era.]
When Gao Su opened his eyes, he found himself in a completely unfamiliar ancient world.
The sky here is as blue as a jewel, the land is vast and boundless, and all sorts of strange sounds echo through the dense jungle.
Giant ferns blocked out the sun, and all sorts of never-before-seen prehistoric creatures roamed among them.
Gao Su was fortunate to encounter a local tribe. Although they were wary of this sudden stranger, they eventually accepted him.
During his time with the tribe members, Gao Su heard many legends about mysterious prehistoric creatures and the origins of ancient civilizations, which intensified his curiosity.
To explore further, Gao Su joins the tribe's hunting party. During one hunt, they encounter an incredibly ferocious giant dinosaur.
The dinosaur roared, shaking the earth. Gao Su and the tribe's warriors worked together to engage in a thrilling and desperate battle against this prehistoric behemoth. After a fierce struggle, they finally defeated the dinosaur.
Later, Gao Su met the tribal chief. The chief was moved by Gao Su's courage and wisdom and decided to help him explore the origins of the ancient civilization.
And so, they embarked on a journey filled with unknowns and dangers.
Along the way, they traversed treacherous valleys and crossed swift rivers.
In a secluded cave, they discovered mysterious ruins with ancient and obscure characters and patterns carved on the stone walls.
Just as they were trying to decipher these clues, a tribe called Dark Abyss quietly appeared.
The villains, namely the chieftain of the Dark Abyss tribe, led their subordinates in an attempt to seize their discovery and monopolize the secrets of the ancient civilization.
The secret of this ancient civilization is that it possessed a powerful energy source, which originated from a mysterious meteorite.
They used this energy to create highly advanced technology and magical spells, but overuse led to ecological imbalance and disaster.
Ultimately, this civilization was nearly destroyed in a massive catastrophe, with only a few people hiding away with some of their knowledge and technology, forming the tribes that Gao Su later encountered.
Gao Su and the tribal chiefs engaged in fierce resistance against them.
At a critical moment, Gao Su used his knowledge accumulated in the modern world to find the weakness of the Dark Abyss and successfully repelled them.
Finally, after overcoming countless hardships, Gao Su unveiled the mystery of the origins of ancient civilization.
By deciphering the texts and patterns in the ruins, he discovered the existence of the energy source, its usage, and its consequences.
He also discovered key clues hidden within the tribe regarding the control and safe use of this energy, offering insights for the modern world.
Just then, Gao Su also found a way to return to the real world.
With deep affection for this prehistoric world and precious experiences, Gao Su returned to his own time.
He shared this legendary adventure with the world, sparking endless imagination and a passion for exploring ancient civilizations.
[Game Duration: 30 days]
[Game Mission: Survive for thirty days, successfully approach the villain, stay by his side until the game ends, and plead for the protagonist when the villain attacks. Failure to complete the mission will result in the player's elimination.]
Shen Ying had just finished complaining about her identity as a "tribal abandoned woman" when she found herself standing here, stunned. She was surrounded by towering ancient trees that blocked out the sun, with only a few thin rays of sunlight struggling to penetrate the gaps in the branches and leaves and fall on the moss-covered ground.
The air was thick with the smell of decay, and the ground beneath our feet was damp and soft; every step felt like falling into an unknown trap.
In the distance, the low growls of unknown wild beasts echoed intermittently, their sounds reverberating through the silent forest, sending chills down one's spine.
Shen Ying gripped the simple wooden stick in her hand tightly, her palms already sweaty. Her eyes scanned her surroundings warily, her heart pounding with tension.
Suddenly, a gust of wind swept by, ruffling her disheveled hair, and a huge black shadow flashed across the tree branch above her head, startling a flock of roosting birds.
Shen Ying trembled, her breath caught in her throat, and an unknown fear followed her like a shadow.
