CH 34

Zhou Yu was still absent minded, and for a while he couldn't tell where he was.

What was that eye just now?

After lazing around on the lounge chair for a while, Zhou Yu stood up with a sullen expression, feeling even weaker than usual, like his soul had somehow been siphoned away.

A bit later, Zhou Yu regained his strength and became clear-headed.

He frowned and wondered what his experience had meant.

The original had no such thing happen to him before, so he couldn’t get the answer frim his memory.

After a moment of hard meditation, Zhou Yu kneaded his severely throbbing temples and decided to give up. He’d just rest and think more on it tomorrow.

The sky getting dark, Zhou Yu lit the fireplace in the living room and watched the bright flames for a while before going to the kitchen to find something to fill his stomach.

Cariell was a madman who was obsessed with alchemy. He didn’t care about his health. There was merely some bread and cheese, as well as fatty fast foods in the house. In order to avoid delays in progress, Cariell didn't even buy vegetables.

And because the original owner had little money left (all of it was used to buy experimental materials), the fare he bought was cheap, dark bread and inferior cheese, and the pairing of stale bread and sour cheese made the Zhou Yu who just came from the modern civilization very uncomfortable.

But it didn’t matter. At this point, he’d eat anything as long as he could survive.

He wanted to find Feng Xing in this life!

After barely swallowing a piece of black bread and cushioning his stomach, Zhou Yu didn’t feel comfortable eating these weird foods. Looking at the bread on the plate, he suddenly remembered that Franken was still in the guest room, so he took some food and walked to the door, calling to it.

"Franken, are you done?"

Opening the door, the room was dark, and Zhou Yu had to take another kerosene lamp into the room.

He called Franken's name, and placed the plate full of food on the bed in the middle of the room.

"Franken?" Turning around, Zhou Yu saw Franken's huge figure melting into the corner of the room, looking ridiculously pitiful.

"Sorry ... Father, I tore, cloth!" Franken raised his head, revealing a pair of watery eyes.

Zhou Yu looked into Franken’s blue eyes, and some compassion rose in his heart. Soothing him with as gentle a tone as possible, he said “It’s okay, it's just tearing a piece of cloth, come and eat! You must be hungry. "

Clear blue eyes that were twice as large as a human’s flickered, revealing longing and fear.

"Thank you, father!" He really was hungry. He hadn’t eaten since waking up to now, and after his energy was exhausted in successive frights, his stomach was already growling.

"Let's eat!" Zhou Yu put the kerosene lamp on the floor to one side, and he backed up a bit, trying not to stimulate the big child.

Franken felt his creator’s goodwill and carefully picked up the food on the bed. He had planned to eat it bit by bit, but he couldn't help stuffing it into his face.

Zhou Yu watched Franken eating, having the illusory feeling of raising a cat that was afraid of being kicked.

Ah, it's so silly, how could it be a big cat! He was still wondering how to deal with Franken in the future.

Zhou Yu pondered what to do next.

His only goal was to find Feng Xing, but he had no idea where he could be at all.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu's eyes dimmed, and his whole body shook in frustration.

He changed worlds in the blink of an eye, how couldn’t he panic? He was ust blindly forcing himself to be calm and rational, but human emotions were fickle.

Zhou Yu felt extremely desperate whenever he thought about Feng Xing’s wellbeing.

This world was incredibly huge, how long would it take him to find him in this vast population? And in the unlikely event that Feng Feng had been reincarnated, would he even remember him?

Would he have to explain everything that had happened in their previous life?

He would only be taken as a lunatic.

Franken paused his actions of madly grabbing the and stuffing it into his mouth, and asked, "Father, am I eating too much?"

He was keenly aware of human emotions, so he knew that his Creator was upset now.

Zhou Yu looked back and gave him a cold glance, responding with: "It's okay, you can finish up, I’ll clean the room later."

Franken froze before silently turning back to eat.

He was a bad man, an ugly monster that made his creator unhappy.

Zhou Yu set the plate aside to Franken to eat there. Then he picked up the broken piece of cloth on the ground, picked out another piece of cloth as a rag, and brought a basin of water in .

Fortunately, the house Cariell had rented was by the main water pipe, otherwise running to get water everyday would be a problem.

Wiping off the dust on the bed, Zhou Yu bent his tired, creaking waist, and went to the utility room to find a quilt and spread it out.

Everything was ready. Zhou Yu was so tired that he didn't want to talk anymore. He took away Franken’s clear plate and instructed him to lie in bed. Then he said exhaustedly: "Have a good rest, don't leave the room at night, okay? "

Franken, afraid of Zhou Yu getting angry, nodded obediently, and nestled in a bed of average length, barely able fit in his huge body before closing his eyes.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu felt relieved, closed the door and returned to the bedroom upstairs.

Back in the bedroom, Zhou Yu removed his clothes and went to wash his exhausted body in the bathroom.

The original hadn’t bathed in two months. Even since he started experimenting, he had been forgetting to eat and sleep, wanting to successfully create his perfect creature, so now Zhou Yu smelled rank.

The smell was so bad that he felt uncomfortable sleeping before he took a bath.

The bathroom in this house was relatively clean. There was a shower head, and a steam-powered water heater installed on the roof heated the cold water drawn from the ground, so the owner could enjoy a hot bath at any time. This was extremely rare in slums. It was also one of the reasons why the original Cariell valued the place.

Even if Cariell was no longer an aristocrat, the pride of a noble had taken root in him, all the way to his bones. For example, when renting a house, it must have running water and a bathroom. These two requirements were things that a normal civilian couldn’t get once in their entire lives.

However, the original Cariell disliked taking baths. This bathroom was merely decoration to him, but it made Zhou Yu very satisfied.

Hot water hit his body, dissipating his fatigue. Zhou Yu couldn't help but sigh, finally feeling alive.

Soon after taking a shower, Zhou Yu washed away the dirty water and felt speechless at how little consideration Cariell had for his body.

He felt like he had washed off a layer of skin. He didn’t know how the original had survived without a bath for so long.

There was a mirror in the bathroom. Zhou Yu walked over to it and carefully observed this body’s appearance.

Dark blond hair had become bright blond, reachin just below the shoulders; a pair of deep, emerald green eyes; a tall nose bridge; a pale and bloodless face and deep facial features.

No doubt about it, this was a face belonging to Westerners.

Zhou Yu looked at the deep green eyes in the mirror and felt a little confused.

His appearance was a little different than the original Cariell’s. The eyes that were originally heavy and dull had become brighter in luster, the skin smoothing. Compared with the appearance of the Cariell in his memory, it also seemed that the skin had paled.

How could this be? Was it due to the change in souls? If so, why didn't this happen in his previous lives?

Zhou Yu remembered a sentence from a shabby book on the history of magic that the original had read.

"The skin is nothing more than appearance, the soul is eternal."

Casters revered the soul. They believed that the soul was the root of all magic. Therefore, they were opposed to all experiments on the soul, and they didn’t like human experiments in general.

Were these changes because this world attached great importance to the soul?

If that really was the case, then he was afraid that it was not only this body’s appearance that had been altered, but its magical ability as well.

Although Zhou Yu wanted to try seeing if his abilities had changed and whether or not he could learn magic, he was too tired to do so today, so he restrained his thoughts, lay down on the bed, and fell asleep under the quilt.

[As you enter the world, please be prepared for reincarnation. There are three newcomers this time, and each survivor will be rewarded with 800 reward points per person.]

A group of weirdos who did not fit into the surroundings appeared in a corner of the small town of Toria.

"It's so weird, that miser of a Lord God is actually increasing the reward points! Haha, he actually gave a detailed plot this time, although it's useless." A young man with short blond hair, a handsome face, and momentum full of masculinity looked at the watch on his wrist with curiosity.

"Captain, although it says this task isn’t difficult, please take it seriously!" A cold-faced,  beautiful iceberg stood beside the youth, her tone very condemning.

"Okay, I know! Didn't we discuss the plan before? This world isn’t that hard, you can pass through easily with Catherine’s favorability!" The youth had a European face, profound features, tall body, and the perfect figure outlined by the combat tights were as attractive as the Greek’s sun god Apollo.

The icy-faced beauty clenched her lips and her eyes became sharper: "So, Captain, are you ready to brush your feelings?"

"What? I really need to brush it. Is there anything wrong with it? I'm a single dog, how could I make sister do it!" The young blonde made a funny expression. (S: not real sister, Asians call women they’re know well with this)

"Then the other members of the team don’t exist?" the iceberg asked blankly.

The tall men standing on the side suddenly showed their strong muscles and --- lack of aesthetics.

"Captain, you can do it! You can see that we are all rough men, just look at our faces! It’s better for you to be captain!" One of the brawny men narrowed his eyes.

In the interstellar world, the actress who played Catherine, the heroine of this movie, was a famous social flower in the entertainment industry. She was notoriously lustful and loved to go to nightclubs. Later, she became obsessed with genetic appearance surgery, which caused her genes to collapse, ruining her. She became an interstellar laughing stock overnight.

Therefore, for the reincarnators who came to complete the mission, trying to gain Catherine’s favor without thinking of the actress’ haunting face after the plastic surgery failure was a huge problem.

The young man shivered.

"Maybe she, maybe she likes rough men like you!"

The other strong men buried their faces in their hands.

"Don’t refuse it, man! Captain! Please do it! Is Catherine disfigured now? No, she’s still pretty! You don’t have to fall for real, you can just cheat the girl, right Captain? "

"What? Don't smear me! I'm a pure single dog!" The young man glanced at the cold beauty, anxiously wishing to sew up the mouths of those heedless animals one by one.

The beauty didn’t bother with these people's mess, and looked at the Lord God's watch expressionlessly, saying, "Captain, we are now at the beginning of the plot. Franken was just caught by the circus, and after Catherine meets Franken, there are still a few months. Should I go find Catherine first and wait for the plot to start, or go to Franken? "

"That's useless! We should of course go to the Dwarf’s Auction in Luoli City first to find weapons! What's so good about that monster? The most important thing in this world is to search for resources. Many things the Lord God sells will take a lifetime to buy. Here, everything is cabbage price! Those who don't take advantage of this are fools! "The young man made a decision with a smile. (S: Cabbage in China is $0.26 in USD per kilo. Soo, hella cheap)

"Wu, where is this? Who are you?" A few people lying on the ground woke up with a look of horror. (S: Wu = crying sound)

A young man boredly poked at them and said, "Of course it's to send you to hell!"
