Chapter 4: I’ll Die Young?

Bang!
The leg bone smashed heavily onto the living dead’s incomplete head. The flesh sphere instantly shattered, and a wisp of thin blood-colored mist surged out from the living dead’s body and entered Feng Qi’s body.
[Weak Living Dead: Feng Qi]
Strength: Unranked
Prefix Title: Weak (Physical Strength reduced by 30%)
Bloodline: Human (Beginner)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 13/1000
Weakness (Upgradeable): Stage One (39%)
Prefix Title Milestone One: Kill the living dead to obtain title evolution points and increase evolution percentage.
…
At this moment, Feng Qi had already killed 13 living dead consecutively.
He already had the answer to his previous two guesses.
Just as he had thought, there was a prerequisite to obtaining Bloodline Evolution Points in the strange dream.
For example, if he obtained 10 Bloodline Evolution Points in the first dream, he would have to kill 10 living dead the second time he entered the dream. Only the 11th living dead would give new Bloodline Evolution Points.
It was like a milestone. Only after passing the previous milestone could he continue to obtain Bloodline Evolution Points.
Continuing east, Feng Qi’s hunting efficiency gradually increased.
He had already mastered how to hunt and kill the living dead.
The living dead did not have much combat power and lacked the ability to think. They could only attack after sensing creatures about 15 meters away from them.
After getting a rough grasp of the distance, Feng Qi had never been beaten up by the living dead again.
In order to ensure his safety, he even specially targeted the undead with crippled bodies and missing limbs.
As his bloodline evolution points increased, Feng Qi noticed something strange.
Pink granules had grown on the surface of his rotten and damaged body. Now, every time he obtained bloodline evolution points, his body would change slightly.
If he continued to kill, he believed he might be able to become a human again in this strange dream.
He walked along the path covered in bones, the unmoving living dead scattered in front of him. They were like scarecrows in a rice field, swaying with the wind.
Continuing to slaughter his way forward, Feng Qi did not feel tired even after continuous high-intensity combat. Instead, as his bloodline value increased, he felt energized.
“Die!”
As he swung it, the leg bone struck the head of an incomplete living dead and shattered the tumor in its head. Then, a blood mist surged into Feng Qi’s body.
After absorbing the blood mist this time, he realized that there were obvious changes in his body. It was even stronger than the previous few times.
He summoned the attribute panel and there was indeed a change.
[Normal Living Dead: Feng Qi]
Strength: Unranked
Prefix Title: Normal (Non-Additional Effect Title)
Bloodline: Human (Beginner)
Bloodline Evolution Points: 34/1000
Prefix Title Milestone:
Normal (Upgradeable): Phase II (1%)
Prefix Title Milestone Two: Kill the living dead to obtain title evolution points and increase evolution percentage.
…
Looking at the information on the attribute panel, Feng Qi realized that the change in prefix titles could directly affect his physical condition.
Previously, his prefix title was “Weak”, so he had always felt a sense of weakness lingering in his heart. Now that his prefix title had been upgraded to Normal, the feeling of weakness was gone. It was as if he had shed his shackles.
He tried jumping and clenching his fists. After familiarizing himself with his strengthened body, he prepared to continue hunting the living dead.
At this moment, a line of words suddenly appeared in his mind.
[You turned to look in the 3 o’clock direction and realized that the black stone tablet standing in the distance was very strange, so you decided to go forward and check it out!]
…
Following the narration, he turned his head and looked at the 3 o’clock direction. He found a two-meter-tall black stone tablet standing beside the locust tree dozens of meters away.
He walked in front of the stone tablet and looked at it carefully.
The stone tablet was weathered and had obvious signs of erosion. The words on the stone tablet were already blurry, but Feng Qi could still roughly make out what was written on it.
[Star City Shelter]
Wait, Star City?
Seeing the words on the stone tablet, Feng Qi could not help but be stunned.
This was because Star City was the city he was in reality, but there were no shelters in the city.
Although the real world that was gradually being eroded by the domain fields was very dangerous, the nearest domain field to Star City was 500 kilometers away, so Star City was far from the danger of being covered. It was a safe zone, so there was no need to build any shelter.
The puzzled Feng Qi carefully sized up the stone tablet, trying to find an answer.
[You discovered a blood groove under the stone tablet where you seem to be able to leave a drip of blood for a test. Therefore, you bit your finger and dripped your blood on the blood groove.]
“Why should I listen to you? Why should I bite my finger just because you want me to?”
[Then… why don’t you try biting your toes?]
…
In the end, he still obeyed the narration and bit open his almost rotten right finger. Accompanied with a foul smell, black blood flowed down and dripped into the blood groove under the stone tablet.
After a short wait, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded from the black stone tablet.
“Bloodline test complete… Human… Permitted to enter Star City Shelter!”
The black stone tablet slowly moved away, revealing a passageway. Under the moonlight, one could see that the passageway made of metal was already covered in rust, as if it had not been used for a long time.
Curious, Feng Qi stepped into the passage. The lights ahead flickered, and the lamps inserted on the ceiling of the metal passage flickered and turned on, illuminating the way forward.
The passageway was about a hundred meters long and slanted downwards. When he reached the end, his vision suddenly became clear.
An underground plaza appeared in front of him. It was filled with all kinds of machinery and instruments. There were iron gates around the underground plaza that were tightly shut.
[You discovered a huge instrument placed in the center of the underground shelter, so you decided to go and take a look!]
“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll do whatever you say!”
[In that case… please cut off your little brother.]
…
If not for the fact that he could not see the narrator, he would have rolled up his sleeves and fought with the narrator then and there.
The huge instrument in the center of the underground square was shaped like a brain. In front of it was a control panel, and in front of the control panel was a huge display screen. At this moment, it was already covered in dust.
Arriving in front of the control panel, Feng Qi’s gaze was attracted by the red “Activate” button on it.
[That’s right, it’s that button. You pressed on it without hesitation!]
Feng Qi reached out and pressed the activate button. The machine trembled, and the dusty screen lit up. Multiple options appeared.
[Star City History Database]
[Domain Creations Biological Database (Updated in real-time)]
[Explore the situation outside]
[Remaining supplies in the shelter],
[Physical condition of shelter residents]
[Cultivation Techniques Information]
[Information on spells]
…
As he flipped through the contents, Feng Qi’s gaze suddenly stopped at the time on the top right corner of the screen.
[Today’s date: March 28, 3528]
…
The real world was in the year 2023, but the date stated in the shelter was actually 3528, more than 1,500 years ahead of the actual date.
At this moment, a terrifying guess appeared in his mind.
He had transmigrated in his dream and arrived in the future!
In order to confirm this guess, he turned his gaze to the screen and tried to compare the information in the database to reality, searching for answers.
There was a search area in the database. Feng Qi thought for a moment and entered his name.
A moment later, detailed information popped up on the screen.
[Feng Qi (Milky Way Research Institute – D-grade researcher)]:
Age at death: 27
Cause of death: An accident occurred when creating a new cultivation technique, causing the Spiritual Qi to flow in reverse and his meridians to be broken at every inch. Then, he bled from all seven orifices and fainted. He died after being unable to be resuscitated.
Date of death: June 1 2032.
Lifetime Achievements (Honor): Researcher of the Galaxy Research Institute, D-grade Human Elite Medal, outstanding graduate of Star City High School, B-grade Cultivation Technique Assistant Researcher…
Evaluation: A cultivation technique researcher with great potential. He was evaluated as a B-grade potential researcher by the Milky Way Research Institute. However, due to his unwillingness to admit defeat, he made a huge mistake in the research of the new cultivation technique. He regretfully passed on at the young age of 27 years old.
…
At the top of the introduction was a photo. The man in the photo looked very similar to him, but he looked much more mature. His gaze revealed determination.
Looking at the photo and the introduction, Feng Qi was dumbfounded.
The Milky Way Research Institute mentioned in the introduction was a research institute in the Milky Way Academy that he was preparing to apply for. It was also his future dream.
The credibility of this information swiftly increased in his heart.
“So… I’ll die young?
“I don’t believe it!”
[I don’t believe it either!]
The narrator appeared at the right time to encourage Feng Qi.
