Wei Huo was surprised. It seemed like social skills were useful.

Wei Huo did not have any silver on hand at all. However, he had other goods such as bronze and minerals. Bronze was extremely valuable. One kilogram of bronze was worth 300 units of silver. Wei Huo had thousands of kilograms of bronze.

He used the bronze to make up for the difference in price and also exchanged the remaining 1,600 silver coins in the camp. After the transaction was completed, Liu Siwu laughed out loud. “Come on, it’s getting late. Let’s stay here for the night, and we’ll be having a bonfire meeting soon. However, all the goods in the camp have to be collected. One, two…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a middle-aged man emerged from the crowd. His eyes widened. “Xiao Yun, is that you? Xiao Yun!”

Mo Guyun looked at the middle-aged man in shock. A moment later, her eyes became moist. “Dad!”

The two of them hugged each other. The father touched his daughter’s face. “It’s so good to see that you’re alright. It’s really good that you’re alright!”

Xiao Bin watched this scene and sighed. However, he was a little confused. Why had so many people transmigrated to this world?

The sky gradually darkened. People lit bonfires and started dancing around them. This was a safe zone. No wild creatures could barge in. They could dance in the safe zone peacefully, drink, and eat meat.

Wei Huo sat in front of a wooden table. He ordered a bottle of beer and savored the aftertaste.

Why should humans drink alcohol? Wine was only a memory in his mind.

At that moment, Xiao Bin walked over and sat beside Wei Huo. He did not dare stop Wei Huo from watching the grand bonfire party.

Xiao Bin felt a little sad. “Sister Mo might be leaving our caravan soon. Our group is getting smaller and smaller.”

Wei Huo smiled. “Everyone is alone. From school to graduation, from work to retirement, from life to death, you have to walk your own path!”

Xiao Bin lifted his head, his eyes flickering. “Is this… the awareness and loneliness of the strong? I understand!”

Wei Huo was speechless.

What do you understand?

As the two of them were drinking, Wei Huo savored each mouthful of his drink carefully. He drank slowly, but Xiao Bin did not dare drink too quickly. He had lived too cautiously throughout his whole life.

At that moment, Mo Guyun led her father to their table. Mo Guyun’s father held the back of his head and bowed before Wei Huo.

“Mr. Wei, I’m really grateful to you for bringing my daughter back to me. You must not know this, but she’s had no mother since a young age. I’m the only one she has…”

Wei Huo ignored him. Halfway through his sentence, Father Mo took out a marble stone. Wei Huo’s attention was attracted by the stone.

Father Mo said softly, “I excavated this not long ago. At the time, my pickaxe shattered. I thought that this was a treasure that I could not give to Liu Siwu. Because you saved my daughter, I decided to give this to you as a way to repay you!”

Xiao Bin frowned. It was just a small stone, yet it was meant to repay his kindness. Wasn’t the man too naive?

Wei Huo took the stone and said, “Alright, we’re done. We have nothing to do with each other anymore!”

Xiao Bin was confused.

Brother Wei was a considerate person!

Wei Huo grabbed the stone tightly in his hand. He saw the real nature of the stone on the system interface.

“Gold Resonance Ore from outer space with all sorts of unbelievable characteristics. Mining Method: Unknown.”

Although Wei Huo’s expression was calm, he was shocked. That stone was actually a gold ore. This piece of gold was something good, something that could not be described!

Wei Huo tried to inject inner Qi into the stone, but it seemed like a bottomless pit. No matter how much inner Qi energy Wei Huo injected, it could not be filled.

Wei Huo took out some bronze and grabbed both items as if he was pinching a walnut. However, the bronze shattered into pieces.

Before I could exert any strength, the bronze shattered!

Good stuff!

After Wei Huo took the gold ore, a system notification popped up. “Mo Guyun left your traveling caravan.”

Wei Huo lifted his head and asked, “Are you planning to stay in this camp?”

Mo Guyun was stunned. She did not know what to say, but her father continued the conversation. “Xiaoyun is just a weak woman. Now that the outside world is in chaos and it’s so dangerous, we have discussed this option. Let her stay!”

Wei Huo nodded. “You should stay.”

Everyone had their own path and made their own choices. They had to pay the price for their choices.

Father Mo told Mo Guyun, “Stay and say goodbye to Mr. Wei and the others. This is a party. You can even invite them to dance. It’s a beautiful night. Don’t waste it!”

Mo Guyun sat on the other side with a red face. She did not dare stop Wei Huo from looking at the bonfire, but she brought him a bottle of beer.

“Big Brother Wei, I respect you. Thank you for saving my life!”

Wei Huo only took a sip, while Mo Guyun took a huge gulp. Soon, her face turned red.

After a while, she lay down on the wooden table, looking really drunk.

Wei Huo glanced at Xiao Bin. “Take Mo Guyun back so she can rest.”

Xiao Bin was a little surprised. He pointed at himself. “Me?”

Wei Huo nodded. “Let me watch the bonfire and the night sky in peace.”

Xiao Bin nodded and left with Mo Guyun. Wei Huo was drinking alone while watching the people dancing at the bonfire party. A few hours later, the bonfire went out and the people dancing went back to sleep.

Wei Huo remained where he was. There were only two-thirds of his beer bottle left. He watched silently and drank until the last person left the square. The flames were extinguished, and the world turned silent and dark.

Wei Huo lifted his head and looked at the starry sky. The starlight scattered and shone down on Wei Huo’s body.

Wei Huo narrowed his eyes and stared at the night sky. He suddenly felt that everything around him had disappeared. The whole world was shrouded by darkness, and only a faint light could be seen.

It was a ray of light. This ray was Wei Huo’s spirit source. It was Wei Huo’s soul crystal. It was a star. The only star shining in that vast sea of darkness.

It felt both like an instant and an eternity. Wei Huo suddenly felt a gaze on him. He opened his eyes and saw a person leaving the room. The other person saw Wei Huo and felt shocked. He asked, “You haven’t rested yet? Have you been sitting here alone for seven to eight hours?”

Wei Huo did not speak. He just sat in the darkness like a statue.

Am I asleep?

The man covered his crotch. “I can’t take it anymore. I drank too much last night. I can’t hold it in anymore!”

He rushed into the bathroom. Soon, people started waking up one after another. They greeted each other and lit the torches of the camp. The light hugged Wei Huo again.

Wei Huo looked into the starry sky and felt unprecedented loneliness.
