Chapter 118 Chapter 118

Luo Shizhen has completely adapted to life in the strange realm.

Even though the others appeared calm on the surface, they were actually feeling a bit anxious deep down as time went by while they were trapped.

But Luo Shizhen just didn't have that.

He has always been a person who can adapt to the environment very well, and he is also slow-witted enough. Even though he had learned from books before how dangerous and terrifying the strange field was, after staying there for two days and finding that there was nothing serious, he started to do other things without any hesitation.

As a purifier, Luo Shizhen is also the only trump card in this field and cannot take the risk of going out to complete the mission.

He had nothing else to do. The only thing he had to do was to purify the people who came back from the mission. However, because they always came back at night, Luo Shizhen had nothing to do all day.

This can easily cause people to lose their balance.

At this age, even those with a gentle temperament are full of passion, not to mention that Luo Shizhen is a guardian and has worked closely with his teammates on missions for such a long time.

Now my teammates are all busy, and I am the only one who can't go out. I am trapped in a small cafeteria. It is too easy to feel depressed.

He is still a young man. At this age, even if he knows intellectually that staying is the right thing to do, he will still feel lost emotionally.

Chen Heyan deliberately did not participate in the battle, choosing to stay with Luo Shizhen, observing his emotions and being ready to help him at any time.

But Luo Shizhen was only disappointed for a moment, and then he adjusted his daily routine to the same as when he was in school.

His idea was very simple. If he couldn't go on a mission, he couldn't be idle during the day, right?

My grandma said that people cannot be idle, otherwise something bad will happen.

The evidence is that my grandfather has been busy all his life and looks very strong. Now that the family is getting better off, with a house and savings, the old man says he wants to take a break.

After a break, he was either sick here or in pain there every day. Later, he was diagnosed with a terminal illness. He spent all the money in the family, but the disease could not be cured.

Anyway, after Grandpa Luo got into trouble, Grandma Luo and other elderly people in the town said that it was caused by idleness.

People live on a breath. If you let go of that breath, won’t there be problems?

Luo Shizhen just found something to do for himself.

I get up early every day and exercise according to the school's training model. If there is no exercise ground, I will dig it myself. If there is no exercise equipment, I will figure it out by myself.

He is clumsy, but he has no problem making some simple equipment. After he is done, he puts it in a public area. No one supervises him, but he strictly follows the training methods and time he has learned.

He worked himself to the point of sweating profusely, reaching his limit before taking a rest with his legs weak, then taking a shower and waiting for the polluted guardians to come back before devouring the pollution.

There was a reason for arranging the time this way. Luo Shizhen explained to Chen Heyan:

"I train according to the schedule given by the school. I've never customized my own training before, but this is the training schedule that Teacher Sui used to train us, so it must make sense."

Teacher Lin once told him that all their training times were carefully researched and arranged by Teacher Sui.

There are rules for when to do high-intensity training, when to do relaxing training, and when to rest.

Luo Shizhen doesn't know how to arrange training time, but he will follow it.

"After training, I'm all sweaty and sticky, which makes me uncomfortable. So I take a break, have dinner, and then I can take a shower."

"Everyone has returned by now, so it's a good time to purify the pollution. After the purification, I'll also feel sleepy, which is just right."

This was also the first time that Luo Shizhen made his own arrangements. He used to be used to listening to others.

When I was at home, I listened to my grandma; when I was in school, I listened to my teacher; when I became a guardian, I listened to Yong Zhou.

There was always someone pointing out a destination for him, and he would go there happily.

Now that he has no goal, Luo Shizhen simply moved his previous goal here.

He has a clear schedule for himself, including what time to get up in the morning, what time to eat three meals a day, what time to "finish class" at night, and what time to turn off the lights.

He also knew to take a vacation. During the vacation, Luo Shizhen would clean his room and tidy up his friends' rooms as well.

When he found some rapeseed in the kitchen, he was overjoyed.

"I can farm, let me do it!"

When Luo Shizhen was in high school, he thought that if he failed to get into college, he might as well go back to the village and farm.

Their family has land, but in their hometown in the countryside, the Luo family had moved to the town before, and the land was given to their fifth uncle to farm.

When Luo Shizhen returned to his hometown, he often worked in the fields. When he was in town, his peers only focused on academic performance. When they saw Luo Shizhen, the most they would do was praise him for being tall.

But when he arrived in the village and was farming, almost everyone who passed by would praise him.

"This kid is so strong, even a cow doesn't have as much energy as him. He does so much work every day and he's still so happy."

In fact, these words were mocking Uncle Luo Shizhenwu, calling him a nobody, using other people's land and treating other people's children like cattle.

But Luo Shizhen, who was only a teenager, didn't understand at all. He thought people were praising him and plowed the land even harder.

He hardly ever gets any praise at school.

But when he was farming, almost everyone would praise him for being so skilled and strong.

Later, Grandma Luo found out that he was being used as a laborer, so she refused to let him return to the village.

Luo Shi really didn't know why, and felt a little disappointed about it.

Now, he has finally found his own way.

Luo Shizhen is just like every experienced farmer. He is busy selecting land, plowing the soil, sowing seeds and raising seedlings.

Being trapped in a strange realm had no effect on his mentality at all.

As reserve resources decrease, everyone's quality of life inevitably declines. When they were first trapped, they had plenty of fish and meat, but now the amount of meat in each dish is obviously much less.

Chef Wang was a little anxious about this.

Others are fine. They will eat anything given to them and act as if they are just eating whatever they want as long as their vital signs are maintained.

Ke Luoshi really loves to eat.

This kid is young and a Purifier. Looking at the attitude of the other members of their team towards Luo Shizhen, Master Wang knew without a doubt that he was definitely taken care of in all aspects before he came to the East District.

Yong Zhou's logistics are famously considerate, even to ordinary Guardians, not to mention Purifiers.

But now, it is visibly seen that the food reserves are gradually decreasing, and we can no longer be as extravagant as before when it comes to food, clothing and shelter.

Master Wang was always worried that Luo Shizhen wouldn't be able to adapt.

Luo Shizhen didn't complain at all. He ate the big fish and meat with relish, and he also enjoyed the dishes with less meat.

Master Wang wanted to give him a separate meal, but he shook his head and refused.

"No, if I'm hungry, I'll go to the kitchen to find something to eat."

He seemed too calm, and he comforted Master Wang: "Don't be afraid, the vegetables I planted are growing well. We can plant some soybeans and make tofu from them, or eat them as meat."

Master Wang was surprised to find that Luo Shizhen was actually very calm.

Luo Shi really thought it was nothing.

All nine teams are here, the teacher is here, Teacher Sui is here, and Chu Xiao and the others are here too.

They have a place to rest, a safe comfort zone.

There is food, drink, and vegetable seeds. Even if you run out of food, you can grow your own vegetables. If you run out of stored water, you can dig a well.

He also said to Master Wang seriously: "I don't know how to dig a well, but I have seen others do it. If that doesn't work, we can also collect rainwater and then filter it."

Master Wang was even more surprised: "You actually thought of collecting rainwater?"

It’s not that he doesn’t know how to collect rainwater, but Luo Shizhen doesn’t look like someone who thinks so far ahead. It’s really surprising to hear him say such a thing.

Luo Shizhen was still puzzled: "Isn't it written in the book?"

He also showed his book to Master Wang.

Master Wang recognized it at a glance; it was a book from the Awakening School.

"Why are you here on a mission, bringing your textbooks?"

He had seen Luo Shizhen reading before, but there were many awakened people who didn't like playing with their phones, so reading was normal.

I just never thought that this child was reading a textbook.

Luo Shi spoke frankly: "I graduated early before I finished all the courses, so I have been self-studying the remaining courses by following the videos."

He learns very slowly on his own. After all, studying has never been his strong point. But now that he doesn't have to take exams, Luo Shizhen is not in a hurry. He just learns slowly and reads books whenever he has time.

This time, he also arranged time for cultural studies.

The teacher happened to be there too, and they were just like how Luo Shizhen would ask Chen and Yan for tutoring in the past, one teaching while the other learning. Every time an older guardian came back early and saw the teacher and students in class, he would be dazed for a moment.

Chen Heyan, the teacher, actually didn't expect things to develop like this.

He watched as Luo Shizhen planned every minute of his life clearly, and became happier day by day.

Looking at him, my heart softened.

This child is always different from other awakened ones. Even if he is left alone, he can make himself happy.

He is just too well-behaved. He always looks at people so obediently, smiles softly, is not on guard against anyone, and greets everyone he meets with soft eyes and a cheerful smile.

It was fine when he was in school. Luo Shizhen's mind was full of studies. In addition, most young awakeners appeared cold on the surface. When he saw someone with a cold face, although he didn't think it was directed at him, he wouldn't take the initiative to approach them.

But now, Luo Shizhen worships the older awakened ones.

The personalities of these older guardians have been worn down by time, so at least they don't show it on their faces.

Luo Shizhen felt that this was because everyone's temper had improved, and they greeted each other proactively every day. When they received a response, it was more like a signal.

Chen Heyan watched helplessly as more and more people approached the child, and some of them brought flowers to him after they had finished fighting.

He happily accepted it and was surprised to recognize that it was rapeseed flower. He asked the other party to dig it up with the roots next time, as he wanted to plant it and cook it.

Just like when Luo Shizhen was farming, he would occasionally share with his teacher with relish how many people praised him for his farming and what his fifth uncle said about him.

As soon as Chen Heyan heard this, he knew that his fifth uncle was taking advantage of him and treating the child like a cow.

But Luo Shizhen was actually happy about this, because he liked cows very much and thought it was a compliment.

Master Wang told him the truth, but he was just stunned for a moment and didn't care.

"My fifth uncle has bad legs and feet, so he needs help. Farming is easy for me anyway, it's nothing. When I was a child, my fifth uncle was very kind to me and often gave me candy."

This child, why doesn't he bear grudges?

The more Chen and Yan got along with him, the more worried they became.

Guardians don't have any moral views. That's something that belongs to normal humans. Who can expect Guardians who may die every day to care about rules and regulations such as not being able to eat or drink?

For some reasons, he also had to go out on a mission and it was impossible for him to watch Luo Shizhen all the time.

But if he doesn't watch, as the guardians are now more and more affected by the strange field, Chen Heyan is really afraid. When he came back from a mission one time, he saw this child saying to him happily:

"Teacher, someone couldn't sleep at night and came to sleep with me. He took off his clothes because he was afraid of the heat. It's really warm sleeping together."

Intellectually, Chen Heyan knew this was impossible.

Even though Sui An didn't move, his mental power was always wrapped around Luo Shizhen's wrist.

In other words, Sui An would be able to know immediately about any slight disturbance.

But emotionally, he still thought, what if?

Sui An must still be affected by the strange field.

Otherwise, with his perverted desire for control, it would be impossible for him to leave only a trace of mental power on Luo Shizhen without showing up himself.

The strange domain has a profound impact on high-level awakeners, deepening their tyranny and territorial consciousness.

With Sui An's strength, as long as he is slightly affected and his Qi body is slightly out of control, the other guardians who are currently in a period of balance will definitely be aroused by their territorial consciousness.

In fact, with so many people crowded in a small area, no one had any conflicts with others due to territorial consciousness, which was beyond everyone's expectations.

Sui An is unlikely to appear before the domain is broken.

After much deliberation, Chen Heyan decided to find a reliable person to help look after Luo Shizhen when he was away.

If I have to find someone, of course I have to find the one who seems to have the least thoughts about Luo Shizhen.

The dark-skinned man who had just returned from outside was shirtless and applying medicine to the wound on his chest without changing his expression.

Although nothing could be seen on his face, he was injured after all. As he applied the medicine, his abdominal muscles tightened slightly, beads of sweat appeared on his wheat-colored skin, and his whole body looked restrained and enduring.

After hearing what Chen Heyan said, the clerk lost his grip on the cotton swab and nearly poked it into the wound.

"I take care of Luo Shizhen?"
