"Xiao Yang, Xiao Yang, are you okay?"

An anxious voice sounded by Xiao Yang's ear.

He felt someone shaking him.

He slowly opened his eyes.

The light from the ceiling made Xiao Yang squint slightly.

When he turned his head, he saw a one-armed middle-aged man shaking him.

The man's face was filled with urgency and concern.

Xiao Yang did not recognize this middle-aged man.

Yet the moment he saw him, the man's name surfaced in his mind.

He spoke instinctively.

"Uncle Chen, I'm fine."

Xiao Yang's head hurt, and he still could not figure out what was happening.

Hearing Xiao Yang's reply, the middle-aged man finally let out a sigh of relief.

However, the worry on his face had not completely faded.

The middle-aged man looked at Xiao Yang and said earnestly.

"I already told you that training like this can easily damage your body."

"When that happens, the losses will outweigh the gains."

"You don't need to rush. You're still young. You can take your time becoming a Martial Warrior."

Xiao Yang was still somewhat dazed.

A Martial Warrior?

What Martial Warrior?

And where was this place?

He vaguely remembered falling asleep at home. How had he ended up here?

But in the next moment, some unfamiliar memories faintly appeared in Xiao Yang's mind.

Ultimate Martial Arts Hall?

After becoming a Martial Warrior?

His parents were dead?

A Beast Tide?

He had transmigrated!

And he had transmigrated into the world of Swallowed Star!

At the same time, Xiao Yang also recalled some information about this body.

The original owner of this body was also named Xiao Yang.

The original owner's parents had both been Martial Warriors, and Advanced Warriors at that.

However, they had died in a Beast Tide not long ago.

After learning of this, the original owner had sworn to become a Martial Warrior and avenge his parents, so he trained day and night.

Until just now, when he had passed out from exhaustion due to overtraining.

As for the man beside him, he was Chen Jian, a friend of his parents and an instructor at the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall in Central Plains Base City.

Seeing Xiao Yang wake up, Chen Jian shook his head, a trace of regret flashing through his eyes.

"Don't train anymore today."

"Hurry home and get some rest."

"If anything comes up, contact me anytime."

As he spoke, Chen Jian took out a small glass bottle containing pale blue liquid.

"Take this bottle of nutrient solution home."

"Otherwise, you'll train yourself to death."

With that, Chen Jian left.

As an instructor at the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, he still had other students to guide.

Xiao Yang slowly got to his feet. His head still hurt, but it was already much better than before.

He recognized the bottle of solution Chen Jian had left behind.

It was a newly released nutrient solution from the HR Alliance, and one bottle cost several hundred thousand!

A bottle of nutrient solution like this could help an ordinary warrior-level Martial Warrior quickly recover their stamina.

If an ordinary person drank it, it could also nourish their body.

Xiao Yang looked around again.

This was the training room for instructors like Chen Jian at the martial arts hall.

However, instructors rarely came here to train.

The reason he had been able to come here was because Chen Jian had brought him.

After the original owner's parents died, Chen Jian had always taken good care of him.

Xiao Yang's thoughts were still a mess.

He decided to go home first and sort out his current situation.

The original owner's home was in Clearwind Residential Community, where the martial arts hall was located.

The residents of Clearwind Residential Community were all Martial Warriors and their families.

Xiao Yang's parents had died in a Beast Tide, so the martial arts hall had not reclaimed ownership of the villa and had allowed Xiao Yang to continue living there.

Before long, Xiao Yang followed his memories back home.

It was a small three-story villa.

Let alone in this post-apocalyptic world, even in his previous life, it was something Xiao Yang, an orphan, had never dared to dream of.

Xiao Yang unlocked the door with his fingerprint.

The house was pitch-black and somewhat desolate.

However, Xiao Yang had also lived alone as an orphan in his previous life, so he was long accustomed to it.

He fumbled for the light switch and turned it on.

Then, he went to the living room and began processing the original owner's memories.

He could only recall those memories when Xiao Yang happened to think of them.

Before long, he had more or less figured out both the original owner's circumstances and his current situation.

This really was the world of Swallowed Star.

Hong, Thunder God, the Ultimate Martial Arts Hall, and the Thunder Dojo all existed here as well.

As for the current year, it was 2055.

The good news was that Luo Feng still had a year before his rise to prominence, so Xiao Yang still had a chance to latch onto him!

The bad news was that he was currently in Central Plains Base City, and a plane ticket to Jiangnan Base City would cost at least ten million!

His parents really had left behind an inheritance of over twenty million.

However, Xiao Yang could only receive a certain amount each year for now.

Only after he came of age next year would he be able to receive the entire inheritance.

At this moment, Xiao Yang felt another headache coming on.

Would it still be in time to latch onto him next year?

The best and fastest way to latch onto him would definitely be to give Luo Hua a bottle of Water of Life.

That was the simplest and most direct method.

If that did not work, he could wait until Luo Hua jumped into the water and save him.

Considering that he would not receive the full inheritance until next year, Xiao Yang felt the latter was more reliable.

As for the former, he did not have the money.

Sigh...

He had transmigrated, so why did he not have a cheat?

Xiao Yang could not help thinking to himself.

But in the next moment, a voice sounded in his mind.

"The system is binding. 50%..."

"51%..."

Hearing that voice, a trace of surprise flashed through Xiao Yang's eyes.

There really was a system!

Xiao Yang leaped to his feet in excitement.

At that moment, he could see a progress bar in his mind slowly increasing.

Before long, the progress bar reached one hundred percent.

An interface immediately appeared before Xiao Yang's eyes.

"Congratulations, Host, on binding the Farm Game. We hope you enjoy yourself."

The smile on his face instantly froze.

A... Farm Game?

He had not been reborn, nor had he transmigrated into an ordinary modern city. What use was a Farm Game to him?

In a high-martial world like this, what the hell was a Farm Game?

Xiao Yang could not help feeling somewhat disappointed.

However, the display before him continued playing automatically.

The beginner's tutorial was currently clearing a plot of farmland.

After clearing it, it planted some watermelon seeds.

But Xiao Yang had already begun thinking about how to latch onto Luo Feng.

If his cheat was useless, he could only latch onto the protagonist.

Well, having something was better than having nothing.

That was what Xiao Yang thought.

He had no idea what this farm was for.

He wondered whether it could help him save up more money so he could hurry to Jiangnan Base City.

Xiao Yang took a look and saw that the beginner's tutorial had already been completed.

At that moment, there was a ripe watermelon in the field on the display, with the words "Ready to Harvest" written above it.

[Level 0 Watermelon (Harvestable): Rich in nutrients and energy. Can quickly restore stamina and replenish nutrition.]

Xiao Yang froze when he saw the description behind the watermelon.

Restore stamina and replenish nutrition?

Wouldn't that let him train alongside it and quickly become a Martial Warrior?

At that moment, Xiao Yang suddenly felt that this Farm Game might not be so simple after all!
