This Time, I Gamble with Fate, Winning the Possibility of Your Survival.

Chang Yuan, seeing a scene he wouldn't have dared to imagine in his past life, opened his mouth slightly and ate the white porridge.

Airi then continued to feed Chang Yuan.

After confirming Chang Yuan had finished the white porridge, Airi finally put down the small bowl.

"Big Brother Chang Yuan is so clumsy, needing me to feed you. Hehe, if Uncle Tok and the others heard this, they'd definitely laugh at you."

"Yeah, I really am a bit clumsy, not as smart as you, Airi."

Scratching the back of his head, Chang Yuan accepted the label of idiot. Besides, some people wished they had the chance to be called that.

"Alright, Big Brother Chang Yuan, you'll rest in this tent for the next few days. Uncle Tok and the others are good people."

Carrying the small bowl, Airi gave her instructions as she left.

Only after Airi had truly left did Chang Yuan weakly collapse onto the simple bed.

"No way, God. You send me to such a difficult instance, and you don't even give me a cheat?"

No matter how Chang Yuan called out, the system remained silent. Or rather, he didn't have a system at all.

But thinking about what was to come, Chang Yuan was starting to panic.

The Pre-Civilization didn't have anything like a Honkai Antibody. Surviving the Honkai was purely a matter of luck, unlike later eras where women possessed the Stigmata Sequence created by Dr. Mei, giving them a significant innate resistance.

In the current Pre-Civilization, men and women were equal. Neither had a Honkai Antibody. Survival against the Honkai depended entirely on luck.

As an outsider, it was highly unlikely he'd have a Honkai Antibody. If the Honkai were to break out, he'd be the first to die.

"No, I can't give up yet. This is probably just the first Honkai outbreak. The Second Herrscher also appeared when Airi was around fourteen or fifteen. Based on her current appearance, I estimate she's about 6 years old. At the very least, there are still 8 years."

Sitting up and crossing his legs, Chang Yuan began to ponder how to survive in this Pre-Civilization. Although the plot didn't detail much about the Pre-Civilization, it covered many important nodes. By utilizing these key points, it might be possible to turn things around. Of course, these weren't the most important things.

Looking at Airi's retreating small figure, Chang Yuan was momentarily lost in thought.

"This time, I'll be the one to say it. I'll load my life into the chamber, just to save one person."

Since he had transmigrated, had no attachments from his past life, and this situation was essentially a death sentence, why not be a little crazy? He refused to believe that Airi's sacrifice was absolutely necessary. He was determined to find a way for Airi to live.

As Chang Yuan pondered deeply, time gradually passed. The night sky was dotted with stars, possessing a beauty untouched by industrial pollution.

It was at this moment that the small pink figure returned to the tent.

"Big Brother Chang Yuan, you're not asleep yet."

"No, I'm still thinking about something very important."

"Oh? How important? Can you tell me? I'm very curious."

Taking out a worn-out small wooden stool, Airi sat by Chang Yuan's bed, swaying her head as she asked, her cute expression incredibly endearing.

"...Sure, but you can't tell anyone, Airi."

"Mhm, I promise I won't say anything. This is our secret, Big Brother Chang Yuan's and mine."

Seeing that Chang Yuan was willing to talk to her, Airi happily agreed.

"Oh, right. From now on, Big Brother Chang Yuan can just call me Airi. That's what friends call each other~."

"Okay, Airi is my friend too."

He gently stroked Airi's pink hair and then began to recount his thoughts.

"Airi, if sacrificing one person could buy infinite possibilities for the future, a chance to overcome disaster, would that be justifiable?"

"Eh? If that person was willing, then we have no right to change their mind. But if that person were me, I think I definitely would."

Due to her unique nature, Airi was very mature from a young age. Even as a child, she had proposed to Celia the idea of traveling alone. Celia, recognizing Airi's special nature, did not refuse. However, when Chang Yuan heard this answer, his heart trembled. Had Airi already possessed such determination from such a young age? Chang Yuan instinctively clenched his fist but immediately relaxed it upon noticing Airi's gaze.

"But what if I want that person to live?"

"Hmm... I don't know what to do about that. If Big Brother Chang Yuan really likes that person, then what you're doing is not wrong. However, the person being stopped is also not wrong. She has her own noble ideals; she wants to save the world, so she's not wrong either."

"But if it really comes to that, Big Brother Chang Yuan can just knock her out. Hehe, everyone is selfish after all, but Big Brother Chang Yuan should be prepared to be hated by that person afterward~."

Sensing Chang Yuan's increasingly somber expression the more she spoke, Airi eventually made a small joke, trying to lighten the mood.

"...Knock her out? Perhaps that's not a bad idea. Rather than holding a grudge, I'd rather she live. However, before that, I want to try and find a new way.

Why must this world sacrifice her? Can't it be someone else? Isn't there a way that doesn't involve sacrifice?"

"Mmm, I don't understand what you're saying, Big Brother Chang Yuan, but I support you. Hehe."

Resting her chin on her hands, Airi smiled cheerfully while leaning by Chang Yuan's bed.

She didn't realize, however, that the person Chang Yuan was referring to was her.

"Then thank you for your support, Airi. You'll have to help me out later too, otherwise, I'm afraid that person won't agree."

"Okay, okay! I'll definitely help you, Big Brother Chang Yuan. I never lie."

Hearing this, Airi agreed without any hesitation.

"Alright, enough about that. I'll tell you some stories, Airi."

"Okay, okay! Then let me get into bed first."

"Hm? Bed?"

Chang Yuan sounded a little confused.

"Uh-huh. Uncle Tok and the others have very few tents here, so it's basically two people per tent. I just arrived the day before yesterday, and Uncle Tok and the others saw that I was a child, so they gave me a tent all to myself.

Now that Big Brother Chang Yuan is here, you and I can share a tent. It'll save space, and I'm going on a trip again in a few days, so I won't be staying long anyway."
