[Host, Yan Yi has already abolished Yan Nian’s cultivation and expelled her from the Sunshine Empire’s territory, leaving her to fend for herself outside.]
Tang Guo opened her eyes, “So soon?”
[Yes, and Yan Yi is feeling pretty upset now. He returned to the old villa and even went to the little room you used to live in, finding the things you left behind.]
Tang Guo smiled, “I knew he would go looking. According to human nature, when one suddenly discovers the truth, they will definitely go. He must be eager to visit every place I’ve been and stayed at.”
What she left behind was nothing else but the package of medicine she once got from the pharmacy. There were all kinds, over thirty different types in total, but each one had the same effect—to reduce fever.
When Yan Yi saw these fever-reducing medicines, he would definitely recall the incident at his villa when he had a burning fever.
[Host, Yan Yi is eating those fever-reducing pills that expired a long time ago. He seems quite happy while eating them. As he eats, he both cries and laughs, saying that the pills the host brought back are really delicious.]
The system silently wiped away a bead of sweat; this Yan Yi has quite a heavy taste.
He dared to eat medicines expired for over ten years, all moldy and deteriorated. Respect to him for being a real man.
“So what if he eats expired medicines? With the strong physique of an ability user, it won’t kill him,” Tang Guo was in a very good mood. She lifted her slightly long skirt, got up and walked out, “How is Yan Nian’s situation now?”
[Not very good. She’s a woman without any abilities, and it’s hard to survive in this kind of world. She’s particularly afraid of dying, so to stay alive, she found an old man to follow. That man is an apocalyptic hunter by profession, with a bad temper; he either beats or scolds her.]
“Oh… being beautiful still has some use, but she still has to walk the same old path as the original owner.” Tang Guo smiled slightly, “Actually, she’s a bit stupid, don’t you think?”
[Why does the host say that?] If it weren’t for the host, Yan Nian would have succeeded, right?
Then he remembered the so-called heroine’s halo. With this halo, even the stupidest person can easily succeed in whatever they do. Various loopholes, no matter how smart someone is, will be subconsciously overlooked.
“If she only wanted to survive and change the original ending, she could have just clung to me. As long as she didn’t have any crooked thoughts, she could still get by in the apocalypse.”
“She thought the original owner was unsympathetic and indifferent, but in reality, this is the apocalypse, a place without legal constraints, where one act of kindness could bring irreversible consequences.”
Tang Guo paused for a moment, “She thought that in a certain part of the book, the original owner didn’t save those elderly, women, and children. In fact, it’s just the character forged by the apocalypse. At first, when the original owner and Yan Yi encountered people in trouble, they tried their best to save them. Later, because of saving a group of people, she was plunged into crisis, only then did she learn the secret of the jade pendant.”
“You received such a lesson, do you think the original person who learned not to casually show sympathy would dare to rescue people recklessly again?”
“Yan Nian thought that not taking out the spiritual spring water from the jade pendant for research to save people was selfish. In fact, the original owner knew that the spiritual spring water was produced in limited quantities. Otherwise, how could there be only a few drops a day? She didn’t dare to use it much for her own cultivation, just to have it available when really needed.”
“Nian Yan’s thoughts were too naive. She believed that by offering the spiritual spring water, those researchers would definitely develop a potion. In reality, knowing that there was plenty of spiritual spring, the researchers weren’t as cautious in their studies. They operated under the assumption that the spiritual spring was inexhaustible and would they even cherish it? They weren’t in a rush to produce results and instead used the spiritual spring water for many other meaningless experiments.”
