"Damn it, I was so worried I forgot about this."
Kelly fell to Arad after this cliff fall!
After saying this, Li Ke decisively began another course of action.
He quickly pulled up his System interface, preparing to give up on saving Kelly's fate and respect her choice. He was going to go to another world to avoid the storm and begin his own journey.
However...
"Insufficient energy. Traveling to Erina Nakiri requires 100,000 energy points." "Insufficient energy. Traveling to Tsunade Senju requires 5,000,000 energy points." "Insufficient energy. Traveling to Lux, the Lady of Luminosity, requires 8,000 energy points."
These three System prompts almost made Li Ke spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it! One is a hundred thousand, one is a million, and one is eight thousand! Are you kidding me?! Why was it so cheap when I came over, only 200 points?!"
However, Li Ke didn't have time to do anything else, because he could already see the wide sea below, and the figures on the ships below. He could only adjust his posture for entering the water as much as possible, and then—
A scream.
"AAAAHHHH!!!!"
With a plop, but unexpectedly, Li Ke's imagined scenario of himself and Kelly dying directly didn't happen to them. Originally, with his and the unconscious Kelly's posture and the height of the fall, they wouldn't have survived no matter what, but this world seemed to have a strange Power protecting them, reducing some of the damage when they fell into the sea.
So much so that Li Ke didn't even faint, but after swallowing a few mouthfuls of seawater, he quickly realized that he was okay, and then subconsciously grabbed Kelly and swam upwards, but the resistance from the water and his rapidly aching arms made him realize something—his Power and Stamina had returned to normal levels!
The Power and physique he had enhanced with skill points had completely disappeared!
"It's useless once I leave that world?!"
Li Ke realized this and subconsciously called out his Inventory.
Fortunately, although the added Power was gone, his Inventory, filled with consumables, was still useful. He immediately took out several mineral water bottles, quickly wrapped them with his clothes, and then grabbed Kelly, who was sinking to the bottom, and struggled to swim upwards with Kelly.
However, not being proficient in swimming, and having to carry the unconscious Kelly, made the speed of ascent very slow, and his Stamina was being consumed very quickly in the cold seawater.
But fortunately, at this time, the ships he had seen before jumped down to save them.
With the help of the kind people, Li Ke finally brought Kelly onto the boat, first checked Kelly's condition, and was relieved to find that she was still breathing, then turned to look at the two fishermen, father and son, beside him.
"Thank you both, I will definitely repay you."
He looked at this father and son who were fishing, and thanked them from the bottom of his heart. It was this family's son who jumped into the water and grabbed his hand to pull him out of the water, almost capsizing their boat in the process.
Although he had already started to float upwards with Kelly at that time, if it weren't for the help of these two, he, whose physical fitness had returned to normal, really wouldn't have been able to carry Kelly up.
So he was sincerely grateful.
However, faced with his gratitude, the father and son showed puzzled expressions, and couldn't help scratching their heads, then spoke to Li Ke.
"@!¥@#%"
Li Ke painfully covered his forehead. He hadn't noticed this in the Seven Days to Die world, because in the Seven Days to Die world, everyone could communicate with each other no matter what they said, so he had completely forgotten that everyone spoke different languages.
Great, although he didn't know if Kelly would be able to communicate with these people, he was 100% unable to communicate with the Arad people.
But looking at the two fathers and sons looking at each other, Li Ke decided to give them some reward first, so that the two could send them back.
He knew that this thing couldn't be used as currency in this world, but now taking out a bunch of Steel Ingots and Iron Ingots was just a joke. He observed the two people and their boat, and was relieved to see a brass handle, then took out a large number of casino tokens.
As for the Gold Nuggets and silver nuggets that he usually found when mining and scavenging, although there were some, showing off wealth at this time was really not a good idea.
So he could only use this to show his sincerity first, indicating that he would repay the two.
And looking at the casino tokens that Li Ke took out, the two fathers and sons were first excited, picked them up and weighed them, and then couldn't help but curl their lips, because they found that it was just brass.
So they smiled and waved at Li Ke, and then the two fathers and sons said some words that Li Ke couldn't understand, and moved the boat towards the shore.
Li Ke quickly put his hands together and bowed to express his gratitude, and they also understood this action, smiling and shaking their heads to indicate that it was unnecessary.
"Temporarily safe."
Li Ke sighed, and then relaxed.
The boat quickly reached the shore, and Li Ke carried the still unconscious Kelly on his back, and walked into a clinic under the guidance of the two fathers and sons, and then the two fathers and sons left some money and left.
And Li Ke also watched a female doctor start to check Kelly's condition, and after discovering that he couldn't communicate with her, he quickly turned and left.
But not long after, Li Ke saw another familiar person.
A woman wearing a violet evening dress, purple skin, proud figure, and a head of gorgeous white hair.
Sharan?
Just as Li Ke was curious, a mature female voice also sounded in Li Ke's mind, startling him.
"Your companion is fine, don't worry too much about her. But where did you come from? Why are you speaking a language we have never heard of? And you look like you're fleeing."
Fleeing?
Li Ke looked down at his tattered clothes and nodded helplessly.
"Almost... I guess you could say I'm fleeing."
Chapter 34: West Coast
"Is that so?"
Sharan glanced at Li Ke, not caring about such things. Instead, she placed a brooch in front of Li Ke.
"This is for you to use. It will allow you and the people you talk to understand each other, but it only lasts for a month. A month should be enough for you to learn the language here."
After Sharan finished speaking, she turned and left. Although the brooch was quite valuable, a consumable magic item she had made, it was enough if it could help. She didn't care much about money.
Li Ke quickly thanked her.
"Thank you! Miss Sharan, I'll pay you back for this later."
Sharan turned her head and smiled.
"No need to pay me back. Just buy me a drink sometime."
With that, she walked out of the room completely. Li Ke wanted to say something, but the doctor spoke up.
"Alright, sir, now that you can understand us, there's no need to worry too much about your companion. She just fainted from the impact and will wake up soon."
The doctor explained to Li Ke, and Li Ke quickly thanked the doctor. Then, he sat down next to Kelly and waited for her to wake up.
The doctor's assessment was correct. Not long after he left, Kelly opened her eyes and stared straight at Li Ke.
"So, why are you here? Am I back in hell?"
Kelly looked at Li Ke speechlessly. She remembered very clearly that she had first fallen into the Celestial Realm's sea, and then, because she couldn't swim, she had fallen all the way to the bottomless abyss.
Just when she thought she was done for, she came into contact with a strange critical point.
Then, she left the sea and arrived in a strange place.
In this place, the sea had become quite strange, and before long, she felt empty and fell again.
If the wood that fell with her hadn't hit her head, she would have been fine.
"The good news is, you didn't go back to that damned world. The bad news is, I came to save you, and now we're penniless. We not only owe a pair of fishermen father and son for saving our lives, but also the doctor's fees and a magician's item money."
Li Ke's words made Kelly shudder and couldn't help but complain.
"Sounds even scarier than hell."
Not having money was indeed a serious matter.
But Kelly was more concerned about something else.
"But I say, now that you've saved me, shouldn't you go back? Or have you already sent that girl Lux back?"
Kelly looked at Li Ke curiously. Although she thought Li Ke was a bastard, she could tell from the fact that he had come to save her that Li Ke was definitely a good person who wouldn't easily give up on his promises.
But why hadn't this guy said goodbye to her even though she was fine?
She looked Li Ke up and down, then lay back on the bed, stretched out her limbs, and said speechlessly, "You don't still want to get with me, do you? Fine, come on, you beast. I'll just pretend I was bitten by a mosquito. After all, yours isn't even as big as my double-barreled shotgun…"
Li Ke's eyes twitched. Kelly was always like this, able to turn a serious occasion into this kind of mess.
"Do you believe I'll fuck you until you cry?"
He sighed.
"The truth is that I need a lot of Power to go back, close to ten thousand. If I rely on you alone, I won't be able to do it even if I get you pregnant, so I have to make a fortune here and then hire a bunch of ladies to sleep with me to accumulate enough Power. But those women who get paid to do things won't have much spiritual communication with me, so the effect will probably be very poor."
Li Ke sighed and looked at Kelly again.
"So you have to help me make money. This is the cost of saving you, Kelly."
"Huh? You want me to make money for you to go whoring?! How can you shamelessly say such a thing!"
"Then are you willing to treat me as your husband and let me bang you eighty times?"
Li Ke said calmly.
"Impossible! Who would let a bastard like you in! Who would care about what happens to you! Anyway, don't look for me for this kind of thing!"
Kelly turned her head away, indicating that she didn't care about Li Ke at all.
"No, I think it's better for me to fuck this bastard until he foams at the mouth, like Lux's foaming at the mouth."
After Li Ke finished speaking, he touched Kelly's breasts. The soft breasts greatly relieved his spirit, but Kelly seemed to have been struck by lightning, and grabbed Li Ke's collar with a red face.
"You bastard! What are you doing!"
Just as she was about to explode, the pretty doctor coughed at the door, and then the two saw the embarrassed female doctor.
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is a church hospital, so if you are well…"
So Li Ke and Kelly were kicked out.
Walking on the bustling street, Li Ke and Kelly looked at the street where all kinds of carts carrying goods were moving forward, and the dense shops, and couldn't help but sigh.
"So, why is it that only I have language problems, while you, Kelly, have no communication problems with the people here? The Celestial Realm actually uses the same language as here! It's unbelievable."
Li Ke, who had once again transformed into an illiterate, looked at the surrounding bulletin boards. Although he felt that there should be jobs on them that he and Kelly could do, there was no doubt that he couldn't read the words, and the quests that Kelly found…
How should he put it? She had strong luck protecting her, but Li Ke no longer had the Power of the Seven Days to Die world.
"What's so unbelievable about it? There's a legend that the world below was developed by people from the Celestial Realm to escape the war, but I didn't expect it to be true."
Kelly looked around, then excitedly tugged at Li Ke's clothes, pointing at a place and exclaiming to Li Ke.
"Li Ke, look! It's the Mage Guild! There's actually magic here!"
"I'm talking to you right now using magic."
Li Ke really wanted to point out that he had a magic brooch on him, otherwise he wouldn't be able to communicate with her at all, but Kelly's excitement left him speechless.
"And do you have money? Why are you so excited? Learning magic requires full-time dedication. How much money do you think you have right now to learn magic? Let's find a place to sell the gold first."
Li Ke complained again, pouring a bucket of cold water directly on Kelly's head.
"Oh, right... We haven't even figured out lunch for the two of us yet. Thinking about magic is indeed a bit early. We still need to make money to find food... Seriously, why do I have to worry about food even here? But hey, Li Ke..."
Kelly's mouth twitched. She had been poor since she was a child, and didn't have much money even in the Celestial Realm. But halfway through her sigh, she suddenly remembered something, and then a piece of gold appeared in her hand.
Clearly, Kelly's Seven Days to Die System hadn't completely disappeared.
"Can the gold from that world really be used in this world?"
Kelly was skeptical, because they had dug up this gold while mining iron ore and various other minerals. To be honest, she had a hard time believing that these things were actually gold.
"Why don't we try it and see? If it doesn't work, we can still sell steel or something. You know, we don't have much of anything, except for Steel Ingots and 'scrap steel'... So the top priority is to find a place that accepts these things."
"That makes sense."
Kelly nodded. When she thought of the thousands of Steel Ingots and Steel Frame in her Inventory, Kelly imagined a bright future where she became a rich woman.
However, just as Li Ke was speechlessly continuing to look for places like pawnshops and banks, a small accident occurred on the street ahead:
A woman wearing a yellow, tight-fitting fighting suit was being held down on the ground by another woman wearing a tight-fitting fighting suit. Not only did she smash a brick on the other woman's head, but she also pulled out two poison needles shining with purple light and stuck them directly into the fallen woman's spine.
"This is the price for not paying back the money you owe!"
