Chapter 1 System Startup

Outside, a strong wind was raging, sand and stones were flying, and the flying yellow sand covered the sky and the sun, bringing with it a violent force that destroyed everything.

In the safe zone, within the center of an energy bubble, there were a few low stone courtyards, scattered around them were tents of various sizes made of animal hides. Also, many ragged, unkempt men, draped in tattered animal hides, huddled against the edge of the energy bubble. Clearly, these people were among the lowest class living in this safe zone.

It's well known that the center of the energy shield is the safest. The closer you get to the edge, the more vulnerable you are to the raging sandstorms outside. Those sandstorms aren't as simple as they appear; they carry extremely violent energy that can't be absorbed by the human body. Once inside, they can rupture blood vessels and cause death. The death is extremely tragic.

Moreover, the energy shield in the slums was of the lowest grade, and tiny cracks appeared on the surrounding energy walls due to a long period of lack of energy repair. Although these cracks were as thin as a hair, they were still very deadly to the poor people hiding at the edge of the energy shield.

To put it bluntly, those near the edge of the energy shield were there to plug the gaps. Whether they could survive depended on their luck. Although it sounded cruel, there was nothing they could do. After all, these people were incompetent. In the natural selection process, the weak were always eliminated first.

"ah!"

A shrill scream suddenly emanated from the edge of the energy shield. A huddled, gray body began to tremble violently, and soon a pool of blood began to flow out from beneath it, forming a small pool nearby. The people around him were so frightened that they huddled even further, trying to hide themselves completely within the gray hide.

These skins, peeled from gray rats, not only provide warmth and protection from the cold but also shield against harmful negative energy. However, gray rats are swift, aggressive, and social creatures, making them difficult to capture. A pristine gray rat skin is especially rare. Therefore, even though gray rats are among the lowest-ranking animals on the Forsaken Planet, many individuals travel in large groups and pay a considerable price to capture them.

Therefore, people living in the outskirts of the slums are considered to be getting by by wearing a piece of gray squirrel skin, even if it is just patchwork. Most of them are seen huddled there wrapped in a thin layer of clothes. Whether these people can withstand the negative energy that comes in from the gaps in the energy shield depends on their luck.

At the same time, when everyone was huddled together, praying in their hearts that the energy storm would pass quickly, a small gray figure leaning against the edge of the energy shield was twitching constantly, and sweat mixed with blood soaked his clothes, and the sweat and blood stuck to his clothes.

"Beep... Recharging energy... Energy replenishment complete, system is starting up... Beep... System startup complete..."

Just when Wen Le thought he was about to die, he vaguely heard a series of mechanical sounds ringing in his ears.

"Host, would you like to activate the system?"

The mechanical sound rang in Wen Le's ears again.

"Yes..." Wen Le responded subconsciously in a trance.

"Ding! System activated. Welcome to the Immortal Doctor System. Given that the host's health is currently too low, the system will immediately initiate emergency rescue measures..."

Then Wen Le felt a gentle energy brushing across his whole body, and his blurred mind suddenly became much clearer. The wounds of all sizes on his body caused by the negative energy were slowly stopping bleeding and healing, and even the old scars showed signs of fading.

However, this was just a simple emergency rescue, so the system immediately stopped treating Wen Le after he was out of danger, so he still had many major wounds on his body that had not healed.

Fortunately, the system didn't heal all of his injuries at once, otherwise, after the energy storm passed, he wouldn't have been able to explain himself to anyone. As everyone knows, if negative energy penetrates the body, it will either kill or cripple you. If someone like Wen Le, who was clearly struck by negative energy, had no signs of injury at all, it would be a bit hard to explain.

As the saying goes, "to possess a treasure is to be punished." For a homeless child like Wen Le who is powerless and has no background, this is definitely a disaster.

Wen Le, who was now fully awake, suppressed the boundless joy and excitement that suddenly surged in his heart, and secretly clenched his fists. No matter what, he had to keep his adventure secret and never let anyone know that he had a fairy doctor system that was specifically used to treat people.

Wen Le had already despaired, believing himself doomed, but he hadn't expected such a surprising outcome. A week ago, when he woke up, he discovered not only that he had shrunk back to the age of ten, but also that the place he was in had changed. He was no longer in his warm home, but on this desolate, abandoned planet covered in yellow sand.

Wen Le was also panicked and resentful at the time. He just stayed at home for a while and didn't do anything harmful. Why did he have to be sent to such a dangerous place, and in the future four thousand years from his own time?

However, no amount of resentment, fear, or panic would help. When faced with a severe test of survival, Wen Le's instinct for survival was triggered, and these things seemed insignificant. Wen Le had been working hard this week to create conditions for himself to live a better life, but it was clear that with his current small body, even survival was a problem, let alone a better life.

Even when he was helping out as a runner for the hunting teams, his legs were too short and his stature was too small to be a hindrance. It was incredible that Wen Le had managed to survive in such a hostile environment with such a frail body. According to the memories left behind by this body, the original owner was an orphan. His parents were interstellar mercenaries, both of whom died during a mission. The original owner's uncle then seized all the property left by Wen Le's parents.

Although the uncle also took the original owner home to raise him, it was obviously out of utilitarianism. When the original owner was ten years old and had not yet developed any superpowers, and was destined to be a waste in this life, he deliberately created an accident and threw the poor child to the abandoned planet to let him fend for himself.

The original owner was just a ten-year-old child. He was already in a very depressed mood after learning that he would never be able to activate his superpowers in this life. His cruel uncle even threw him to an abandoned planet with a harsh environment and left him to fend for himself. So the original owner couldn't think it through and decided to commit suicide. As a result, the unlucky otaku Wen Le entered this body.
