Starting as an Orphan with a Sliver of Health, the System's New Function Was a Total Trap!
Chu Youran is the kind of person who either doesn't do something at all, or she does it to the best of her ability.
Ling Yi estimated that he wouldn't be able to take things any further with Chu Youran tonight.
Perfect timing, let's take a stroll through the world of scripts.
Back in his bedroom, Ling Yi sat cross-legged on the bed.
The next moment, his head slumped down, and he fell silent.
[Ding! Congratulations, host, you have transmigrated into the world of the scenario " Famine Strikes, I'll Show Off My Meat with My Whole Family!"]
[Ding, the Cannon Fodder Script feature module has been activated.]
[Ding! For each cannon fodder character you rescue, you will receive corresponding Cannon Fodder Points based on the difficulty of the rescue and the Cannon Fodder Level.]
[Ding! For each cannon fodder character you rescue, in addition to gaining Cannon Fodder Points, you will also receive a rescue reward. However, the rescue reward can only be used within the scenario world and cannot be taken out of the real world.]
[Ding, please note that if the host dies in the script world, they will be forcibly exited.]
[Ding, the scenario world is about to begin. Please prepare, host.]
Ling Yi snapped out of his daze and immediately smelled a nauseating stench.
While absorbing the memories, Ling Yi looked around.
The gray-white Earth Wall and the heated kang bed covered with tattered bedding—the stench emanated from these worn-out blankets.
Ling Yi turned around, intending to jump to the ground, but found that his body was extremely weak. Even such a simple action as getting down made him dizzy and he almost fell.
A sharp, intense emptiness in his stomach made Ling Yi realize that if he didn't eat something soon, he would starve to death.
The original owner of this body was an orphan. Half a month ago, her parents went hunting in the mountains but encountered a Blind Man and died in its Blind Man.
When they found it, there wasn't much of the body left.
Following the original owner's memories, Ling Yi Youyou out of the bedroom and found the rice bin behind the stove.
But they found it was completely empty; there wasn't even a grain of rice, let alone any bran.
"Damn it, am I going to starve to death right after I transmigrated here?"
Ling Yi searched for a long time but couldn't find anything to eat, leaving him breathless and covered in sweat.
According to the original owner's memories, there should have been several kilograms of cornmeal in the family.
It was the grain that the village gave to the original owner as compensation after his parents died.
After all, the original owner's parents sacrificed themselves to save their hunter.
That can be considered a contribution to the collective.
They gave us a few pounds of cornmeal as a subsidy.
However, this small amount of food was stolen on the very night after the original owner's parents, Cao Cao, were buried.
In addition, the original owner of this body was already seriously ill and had no ability to obtain food.
It's already MU Online that they've managed to survive for another two weeks.
Ling Yi knew very well that if he wanted to survive, staying at home was definitely not an option; he had to go out.
Ling Yi opened the dilapidated wooden door and entered the courtyard.
The sky Wuyun, and the sun hung high overhead.
According to the original owner's memories, there has been a severe drought this year; from spring planting until now, not a single drop of rain has been seen for six months.
The river has dried up and the well is about to run dry as well.
The crops died of drought before they even sprouted.
This is true not only in Shitou Village, but throughout Mang County and the entire Chi Province.
A month ago, grain was being transported here from above, and the villagers were able to barely survive on a bowl of porridge each day.
But starting a month ago, the government stopped allocating grain.
The villagers can only save themselves.
Nowadays, the villagers' only source of food is Old Man Mountain behind the village.
Old Man Mountain got its name from the fact that it looks like a sleeping old man when viewed from a distance.
The original owner's parents died in Old Man Mountain.
This world is a completely fictional modern world.
The date was August 1966.
The original owner had no memory of the exact date of today.
Ling Yi had only heard about the events of that era, but he couldn't truly empathize with them.
All I know is that in this era, there were those who went to the countryside and those who were sent to the countryside.
I know absolutely nothing about the rest.
"This world is a bit unfriendly!" Ling Yi walked out of the courtyard.
Putting aside the question of whether Ling Yi will starve to death, how does one earn Cannon Fodder Points in this scenario world?
Even if you manage to earn Cannon Fodder Points, you probably won't earn much.
In this kind of story world, the Protagonist's area of activity is generally not very large.
If the area is small, there can't be many cannon fodder.
Ling Yi is now considering giving up on this world.
In this year of great Famine, without any special abilities, survival is not easy.
"Let's see if we can find any cannon fodder. If we can find Cannon Fodder Points, then maybe we can continue playing. Otherwise, we can only wait for it to end and return to reality."
Ling Yi already sensed that his body had reached a certain Limit.
At this point, I could no longer feel hungry.
I didn't even feel tired anymore, just a deep-seated weakness.
And this state is the most terrifying.
This is a state that only occurs when the body reaches its Limit, or when one is on the verge of death.
The air was scorching hot and dry.
Sweat poured out, but was quickly dried by the hot air.
Even if Ling Yi walked in the shade of the trees along the roadside, it was still meaningless.
Ling Yi knew very well that if he wanted to survive now, it would be through MU Online.
Soon, Ling Yi's vision began to blur, and he felt waves of dizziness.
"System, aren't you going to do anything about it?" Ling Yi asked.
The system is not responding.
"My purpose in transmigrating to these scripted worlds is to earn Cannon Fodder Points. Who do you think I'm earning these Cannon Fodder Points for? Aren't they for you, the system?"
"In the end, won't the Cannon Fodder Points still return to you through the Cannon Fodder Shop?"
"If I die, this world will be wasted!"
Ling Yi is out of options and can only turn to the system for help.
[Ding! The system has detected a strong will to Qiusheng in the host. A new feature has been unlocked: Cannon Fodder Points can be used to create a cheat system for the host.]
[Ding! Host can now state their request for the cheat system!]
Ling Yi was overjoyed. He could actually customize a cheat system?
"I..."
But just as Ling Yi was about to say something, everything went black, and he collapsed to the ground, completely losing consciousness.
Unbeknownst to Ling Yi, a girl had appeared behind him at some point.
This girl must be Ling Yi's neighbor.
It wasn't that I was following Ling Yi Ling Yi; I was probably going the same way as him, heading towards Old Man Mountain.
Originally, the girl didn't pay much attention to Ling Yi.
Just as he was about to quicken his pace and pass Ling Yi, he unexpectedly overheard Ling Yi talking to himself.
He was especially shocked when he heard the word "system" from Ling Yi.
People of this era cannot possibly understand the concept of a system.
Upon seeing Ling Yi faint, the girl hesitated for a moment before going to Ling Yi side.
After checking him over, they found that Ling Yi was only unconscious, so they picked Ling Yi up and carried him home. However, instead of returning home, they continued towards Old Man Mountain.
This girl's strength is clearly far beyond that of an ordinary person.
Although Ling Yi was thin, at 1.76 meters tall, he was not light, weighing at least over 100 kilograms.
But even while carrying Ling Yi, the girl's speed was not affected, and she showed no signs of strain whatsoever.
"I hope you can hold on. I just want to save you, but I don't have any points left. We can only hope for good luck and see if we can find anything on Old Man Mountain."
