"Alright, as long as your brain works."
Yan Huan waved his hand and lifted the Black Abyss White Flower as he prepared to climb onto the tractor.
Just then, Herta grabbed him.
"Um... are you going to leave me behind?" she asked softly.
Yan Huan turned back and raised an eyebrow.
"What are you talking about? We barely know each other. How could I be leaving you behind?"
"But you hit me with that huge thing."
"Didn't I heal you?"
"But I have amnesia. I don't remember what I'm supposed to do."
"Then wait here for a while. Maybe someone will come looking for you."
"But it's cold here." The girl clutched her sleeves and spoke timidly.
Yan Huan fell silent.
He looked at what the girl was wearing. Her clothes were a little dirty, but the fabric looked quite nice. Her family should have been fairly wealthy.
"Fine, I'll give you a ride. This tractor doesn't perform very well, so make do with it." With that, Yan Huan got onto the tractor.
"Okay, okay." Herta nodded and climbed aboard as well.
Soon, the tractor's engine began rumbling again.
"Put-put-put-put... bang... clank! Put-put-put-put... bang... clank!..."
Herta: "..."
The rusted tractor wobbled along unsteadily, jolting the girl every few seconds. The bumpy ride made her miserable.
Herta asked shakily:
"Um, how long have you been driving this vehicle?"
Yan Huan frowned. "What are you talking about? I only got this brand-new vehicle today."
He thumped the control panel with a few loud bangs and muttered in confusion, "Huh? Why is it slowing down again? How did I fix it before?"
"Bang bang bang—bang bang bang—!!"
Herta: "..."
After a round of random pounding,
a spinning white ring suddenly appeared in front of the tractor.
Yan Huan slapped his thigh.
"Ah, this is it. Once you get this effect, you drive a little faster. This must be the legendary acceleration ring."
Driving the tractor, he bumped and rattled his way into the white ring once more.
Belobog, in another unknown year.
Lower District.
A tractor puttered out of the white ring and drove down a dimly lit street.
"Huh? Why did it suddenly stop being cold?" Yan Huan scratched his head. Every time he entered a white ring, the surroundings seemed to become strange.
Herta looked around and said softly:
"This... this seems to be Belobog's Lower District."
"Hm? Didn't you lose your memory?"
"I suddenly remembered a little."
The tractor drove down the street, immediately drawing countless looks.
"Who the hell drove that wreck into the Lower District?!"
"Damn, how did this guy get in? Aren't the Upper and Lower Districts sealed off?"
"Wait, the little girl sitting beside him looks familiar. Haven't I seen her in some historical records?"
More and more people gathered around the tractor, pointing and gossiping, until Yan Huan felt awkward.
"How embarrassing. It's my first time driving a tractor while so many people are watching." Yan Huan said bashfully.
Herta: "..."
"Bang—!!"
Suddenly, the tractor seemed to have hit something again.
"Ah, the tractor hit someone!"
"I saw it too! It looks like it hit a woman!"
Hearing the shouts below, Herta's body tensed.
If someone had really been killed, did that make her an accomplice?
At that moment,
Yan Huan had already gotten out, carrying the Black Abyss White Flower.
He walked to the front of the tractor, bent down, and took a look.
"Ma'am, what are you doing? I clearly saw you run into me yourself. Even if you're trying to scam someone, you shouldn't pick a tractor."
The woman lying on the ground had pale lips. Hearing Yan Huan's voice, she slowly opened her eyes and said weakly:
"I-I'm sorry... I may have been too hungry. I fainted just now."
She struggled to prop herself up and stand, then said hoarsely to the onlookers:
"Sorry, everyone. He didn't hit me with his vehicle. I was careless myself."
Yan Huan: "..."
Seeing that this kindhearted woman was not trying to extort him, Yan Huan immediately gripped the Black Abyss White Flower. A beam of healing light flowed into the woman's body.
"Ah, what is this light? Huh, why do I..." She suddenly felt much better.
Realizing that the light had come from the Black Abyss White Flower in Yan Huan's hand, the woman quickly bowed in thanks.
"Thank you, young man. I'm so sorry for causing you trouble. Y-you were treating my injuries just now?"
Yan Huan nodded.
"There aren't many kindhearted people like you these days. I might as well do a good deed all the way and help treat you."
The woman thanked him repeatedly.
"Thank you so much. Ever since the lockdown order was issued, medical resources in the Lower District have become incredibly precious. I never expected that, even under these circumstances, you'd be willing to help a stranger like me."
"Oh, right, my name is Ouga. My husband, Kruze, works outside, and there isn't much left at home now. I still have a son to support. But don't worry. Once our family has money again, we'll definitely make up for today's medical fee."
Yan Huan waved his hand.
"Ma'am, there's no need. I'm just doing one good deed a day."
He looked at Ouga's complexion and immediately said:
"You got sick from hunger. You should eat more nutritious food."
As he spoke, he pressed the white knot hidden inside his clothes.
Asta had given it to him. It was a spatial storage item capable of holding a great deal of supplies, and Yan Huan had ordered a massive amount of supplies online while at the Space Station.
Among them was plenty of food.
A flash of white light appeared, and several crates of canned food materialized beside Yan Huan.
"Sister Ouga, take all of these home. Since you have a child, you especially can't let anything happen to your health. If you keel over, what will your child do?"
The surrounding crowd was instantly stunned.
"H-he pulled all those canned goods out of nowhere?"
"Wait, sir, could you give me something to eat too? I haven't eaten in days!"
"Sir, Void creatures destroyed my home, and now I have nothing left. Could you treat my leg first? Once I earn money working with the mining team, I'll pay you back double the medical fee!"
For a moment, everyone gathered around began asking for help.
Yan Huan: "???"
What kind of place was this? Why was everyone so miserable?
"Fine, but I'm only staying for a little while. I still need to find a pink-haired girl and someone with a deadpan face."
Yan Huan sat down right there and used the Black Abyss White Flower to treat the injuries of the people crowding around him.
Five more large piles of supplies appeared beside him, while Herta helped distribute them.
As she worked, Herta asked Ouga:
"Ma'am, what is... the lockdown order?"
Ouga's expression immediately turned strange.
"Huh? You don't know about the lockdown order?"
She examined Herta's clothing. She looked like a child from a wealthy family.
"The lockdown order was personally issued by Supreme Guardian Cocolia."
Herta stood there blankly.
"Cocolia...?"
Then she came to her senses.
"Maybe it's because of my amnesia that all this feels unfamiliar."
"Poor girl, so you have amnesia?" Ouga said sympathetically.
Herta nodded.
"I only met Mr. Yan Huan not long ago."
"I see." Ouga nodded. "Still, I think you're very pretty, miss. You even look like one of the Supreme Guardians from the historical records."
Herta smiled shyly.
"Do I...?"
