During the first possession, li xiaonian could speak normally, but he couldn’t move his body. At this time, his body would feel a sharp pain from time to time, but this pain was nothing to li xiaonian.
He checked his body. There was an obvious wound on his forehead, three of his ribs were broken, and his legs were shattered.
!!
“It’s a little troublesome.” Li xiaonian’s brows were tightly knitted.
It wasn’t really a possession. If li xiaonian didn’t appear, the owner of the body wouldn’t be able to wake up either, because he was already brain dead.
Brain death, even with the advanced technology of the main universe, was still incurable.
“Li Xiao le, rest in peace. From now on, I will live for you, and I will live a more exciting life.” Li xiaonian muttered to himself.
The reason why he was heavily injured was simple. He was trying to protect his ‘property’.
Li Xiao le had found an extremely valuable nuclear powered H3 in the garbage dump. It had a lot of energy left, and after deducting the money, it could be exchanged for at least three months “worth of living expenses for a family of three.
With such a huge profit, it naturally caused the others to be envious. The battle naturally occurred.
Li Xiao le controlled the antique industrial mecha and fought against brother Meng’s two lackeys.
In the end, Li Xiao le had failed. His precious mecha had been completely destroyed, and the cabin had been dented in. A few of Li Xiao le’s ribs had been broken, and his legs had been crushed by the equipment. The [ energy source H3 ] that he had obtained had naturally been taken away by brother Meng’s lackeys.
big brother, I’ve made you some purple sweet potato porridge. I’ve put some compressed high citizen’s food in it. It’s just nice for you to nourish your body.
The third sister, Lu Qianhui, entered the room with a bowl of hot porridge. The room was a mess, filled with all kinds of garbage parts. Lu Qianhui almost tripped over one of the parts.
Looking at his skinny third sister, li xiaonian felt an indescribable pain in his heart. Right now, he had all of li xiaonian’s memories. He was li xiaonian, and he was li xiaonian as well. It was just that li xiaonian’s soul and will were stronger, and he had become the true master of his body.
“Big brother, I’ll feed you.”
Lu Qianhui fed li xiaonian with a spoon that was covered in oil.
He swallowed the congee in one gulp. Needless to say, the taste was better than he had imagined. There was no bitterness at all. Instead, there was a faint sweetness.
Li xiaonian was clear that the purple potato congee’s taste was due to the high-class citizens ‘compressed food.
“Third sister, did anything happen while I was unconscious? Did boss Zhu come to see me?”
“This …”
Lu Qianhui hesitated for a moment and said weakly, ” “Boss Zhu didn’t come here. You fainted in Heigou mountain, and it was the manor that sent you back. Back then, your injuries were very serious and you could die at any time. In order to save you, second brother sold everything in the house and raised 132 Dayuan to buy 0.02 grams of nano medical bugs. Only then did you survive.”
Tian Yuan was the currency used on the 13th Planet. It was not money but a way to measure the value of items. One Tian Yuan was one person’s daily ration.
The stolen H3 energy was worth at least 90 Tian Yuan.
Li xiaonian’s face darkened when he heard his third sister’s description. He instinctively reached out to touch the headboard and realized that the Firehawk that he had always kept by his side was gone.
Lu Qianhui saw the change in li xiaonian’s expression and asked worriedly, ” big brother, your gun … Second brother sold it for 30 Tian Yuan. That’s how I managed to raise enough money to buy you the nanosurim medical bug.
Li xiaonian’s lips curled into a stiff smile. it’s fine. It’s more important to live. If it’s gone, then so be it.
The fire Eagle spear was his most precious item. It was because of this spear that he was able to deter his competitors and earn enough divine Yuan to feed his family of three.
Now that his gun was gone, his last resort was gone. He could foresee that the next time he went out to look for reclaimable garbage, the surrounding competitors would definitely be eyeing him covetously.
Suddenly, Lu Qianhui’s nose twitched. big brother, let’s not work so hard in the future, okay? you’re out every day. Second brother and I are very worried about you. We’re worried that you might not be around anymore.
“Yes, I’ll try my best to correct it.” Li xiaonian gave an ambiguous reply.
On this trash planet where human life was cheap, was it possible to not fight for it? if he didn’t fight for his last breath, others would only take advantage of him and he would die faster.
After finishing the purple sweet potato porridge, Lu Qianhui started to sort out the ‘spoils’ that li xiaonian had brought back. To put it bluntly, she was sorting through the trash to see if there were any precious metals or valuable items.
Li xiaonian himself was in a daze, looking like he was about to fall asleep.
It looked like he was sleeping, but in fact, he was trying to practice and see if the mighty body he had practiced before could be used.
Time passed by slowly.
Getting started with mighty body was more difficult than he had imagined. Three hours had passed, and he still hadn’t gotten started, but he could clearly feel that his injuries were gradually recovering.
It’s the nano medical bug.
Even though it was only 0.02 grams, the quantity should not be low. The nano medical bug was not a drug, but a type of micro-machine used to treat all kinds of external injuries.
Once the nanoworms ran out of energy, their lives would end.
He had been in a coma for three days. Today was the last day of work for the nanomedicator. After today, they would be completely scrapped and would be discharged through sweat glands or urine.
0.02 grams of nanomedicator is still too little.
Li xiaonian sighed.
The injuries could not be healed quickly. In other words, the family would have no income. The family of three could starve to death at any time.
The second brother, li zhedong, said that he was working, but in fact, he did not have any income. Every day, he helped others dismantle discarded parts, and the only reward was a lunch to fill his stomach.
As night fell, the second brother, li zhedong, dragged his exhausted body home. His hands were full of new and old wounds of all sizes, and his body was covered with stinky oil stains.
“Big brother, how’s your body? can you get out of bed and walk around?” As he spoke, li zhedong took out a steamed bun wrapped in a plastic bag from his inner pocket. After crushing it, he handed it to li xiaonian. brother, I did a good job today. Mr. Su gave me an extra steamed bun as a reward. I’m not hungry now. Your recovery is more important.
“……”
Li xiaonian cast a glance at his second brother, who was lying through his teeth. Boss su would never be so generous as to reward him with an extra steamed bun unless the sun rose from the West.
Li xiaonian knew that his brother was lying, but he didn’t refuse. He said calmly,”Soak the mantou in water and we’ll share it.”
Even if he was lying down, his body had consumed a lot of energy. He was indeed hungry now.
“This …”
Li zhedong nodded and took a large bowl of water. He soaked the mantou, stirred it, and divided it into three portions. The three siblings each had a bowl.
As lowly citizens with no human rights, the residents of the abandoned planet had no habit of having dinner. They only had breakfast and lunch. As for dinner, they would just drink some water and hang in there.
While eating the steamed bun and water that he couldn’t name, li zhedong hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said, ” brother, I’m planning to go to Heigou mountain tomorrow. I’ve already told brother Zhuang, and he’ll take me there too.
“No,”
Li xiaonian didn’t even think about it and immediately rejected him sternly. He glared at his second brother and said, is Mount Heigou a place you can go to? the manor is willing to bring you along, but if you encounter danger, he can’t even protect himself, let alone save you.
Black Ditch mountain was actually a huge Canyon, but it was already filled with rubbish, forming a rubbish mountain. Every once in a while, a spaceship would dump the rubbish there.
To the residents of the abandoned planet, black trench mountain was like a mine. There was food, metal, and if they were lucky, they might even find some universe currency.
In order to compete for it, almost every day, there would be people who would fall there permanently.
Li Xiao le had been saved by the village, and the only reason he had been saved was because he had saved the village once. In order to repay the favor, the village had saved him.
Even so, the friendship between the two of them was very thin. It would be impossible to borrow money from the manor. It could be said that the residents of this planet were very cold and could not trust anyone except their family.
“No, I want to go.” Li zhedong mustered up his courage and for the first time refuted li xiaonian’s authority. brother, we’re already in this situation. If we don’t earn enough ten-Yuan, our family of three will starve to death. I still have enough physical strength to go out and earn money, but once food is insufficient, I won’t have enough physical strength, and it’s even more impossible for me to earn enough money.
“No means no,” Li xiaonian shouted coldly.
Due to his anger and emotional fluctuations, li xiaonian felt a dull pain in his chest. His eyebrows twitched, and the wound that had been repaired by the medical nanobugs seemed to be on the verge of bursting open.
Lu Qianhui saw the change in li xiaonian’s expression and quickly stood up. “Second brother, big brother is still injured. How can you talk back to big brother?” “Big brother, are you alright?” he turned to look at li xiaonian.
Li xiaonian took a deep breath, but before he could speak, his younger brother li zhedong said firmly, ” brother, I’ve already grown up. I know what I’m doing.
After he finished speaking, li zhedong turned around and left.
His brother’s attitude was unyielding. Li xiaonian closed his eyes and pondered for a long time. Then, he slowly opened his mouth and calmly said,”Second brother, it’s not that I don’t trust you, but I don’t trust the manor. Don’t think that he saved me and was even willing to take you out. You know my current situation. If anything happens to you, third sister and I will definitely not be able to live.”
Li zhedong, who was polishing the sharp spikes to use as weapons, heard li xiaonian’s words. His expression froze, and his heart wavered.
At this time, li xiaonian continued, ” “Go to boss Zhu now and tell him about my situation. Also, borrow money from him, just 15 Dayuan. If he’s not willing to lend me money, the members under him will definitely lose their morale, so he has to lend me the money. When I recover, I’ll slowly return this money to him. As long as I recover, everything will be better.”
Boss Zhu, the leader of li xiaonian’s District, was responsible for the safety of the residential area. He was a very cruel and stingy person. Although it was only 15 Dayuan, li xiaonian was already prepared to bear the high-interest rate.
If they were lucky, they could return 30 Sky Dollars. If they were unlucky, they could return 50 Sky Dollars, or even more.
Boss Zhu didn’t show up for a long time because he wanted to borrow money from him and then rip him off ruthlessly.
“This …”
Li zhedong’s face was full of struggle.
He knew very well that not many people who borrowed money from boss Zhu had a good ending.
Seeing his brother’s hesitation, li xiaonian said, ” second brother, don’t be fooled by the fact that I’ve lost the fire Eagle spear. I, your big brother, once found a cultivation technique in Heigou mountain. Today, I’ve officially entered the sect. As long as I recover from my injuries, I’ll become extremely powerful. At that time, even without the fire Eagle spear, I’ll still be able to live in Heigou mountain like a fish in water.
“Really?” Li zhedong’s heavy heart was swept away, and he looked at li xiaonian expectantly.
Li xiaonian nodded and casually explained the cultivation technique of Overlord body to his younger brother.”This is the cultivation technique of Overlord body. I thought it was impossible to cultivate it before, but after trying it out, I think it’s okay. I’ll teach you this cultivation technique later. Before it gets dark, go and borrow money from boss Zhu and buy some food.”
As a patient, not having enough food would only add to her injuries. She had to fill her stomach so that her body had enough energy to heal itself.
Since his big brother had already said so much, li zhedong naturally no longer refused. He nodded. “Alright, I’ll go now.”
After li zhedong left, his sister Lu Qianhui went up to li xiaonian and asked, ” “Big brother, I … Can I cultivate?”
Becoming an ascetic was the wish of every resident of an abandoned planet. As long as they had enough combat power, it meant that their survival would be better.
As for the citizens with good genes, they did not need to cultivate at all. They only needed to be injected with Genetic Medicine to strengthen their bodies and become omnipotent superhumans.
The more outstanding one’s genes were, the more powerful one would be.
This was the main reason why the gene levels were so detailed.
yes, but not now. Your body is too thin and weak. It’s not suitable for you for the time being. When I earn enough money and let you eat meat every day, I’ll teach you the cultivation technique.
“En, en.” Lu Qianhui nodded vigorously. I’ll definitely eat until I’m strong in the future.
……
His second brother, li zhedong, had been out for less than half an hour than li xiaonian had expected. He had already returned with a piece of compressed food and an energy block worth 15 Dayuan.
Without waiting for li xiaonian to ask, li zhedong happily said, ” big brother, big brother Zhu seems to be very easy to talk to. As soon as I stated my intention, he asked me how much I wanted to borrow and agreed without hesitation. He even gave you a piece of compressed food. With this biscuit, you can recover from your injury faster.
“What’s the interest?” Li xiaonian asked without a trace.
“Um …”
Li zhedong was slightly stunned, and his entire aura weakened, like a child who had done something wrong. He said weakly, ” “Boss Zhu didn’t say … I … I didn’t ask.”
Li xiaonian’s brows twitched. it’s fine if you didn’t say anything. As long as we have enough food, everything will be fine.
Free of charge was the most expensive. At this moment, li xiaonian was already prepared to pay a huge price. As for what would happen after that, he would wait until his injuries recovered.
If the other party’s asking price was too high, he didn’t mind killing boss Zhu and replacing him.
