Chapter 5: Cold



After Xie Sen finished speaking, he turned his head and continued to cut the meat, saying, "I think you are a nice person. I want to make friends with you and get to know you better. If we have common interests, we can make an appointment to play together!"

Maine smiled playfully. He was a nice guy? If he hadn't recognized Xie Sen as a poor guy from the same school, he wouldn't have taken action.

"I have no friends, and I don't need any."

Xie Sen was stunned, stopped what he was doing and turned to look at Maine. Maine was leaning against the door frame with his hands folded across his chest. He looked very relaxed, and even had a smile on his face, as if the words just now were not said by him.

Xie Sen blinked and said in a tone of an elder educating a younger person: "People, you should have lower standards. You are so handsome, you can't expect your friends to be at the same level as you! What's the point of being alone? You still need to make friends."

Maine saw his serious face and chuckled, with a hint of self-mockery: "It's not because of this reason." He nodded his chin towards the kitchen counter, "Hurry up, I still need to sleep."

Xie Sen thought about the current time and said quickly: "I can do it myself, you go and rest first."

Maine thought for a moment, nodded, and pointed to the button on the wall next to the door: "Close the door and turn on the soundproofing system." After Xie Sen responded, he turned around and went back to the room.

Xie Sen washed his hands, walked to the door and studied it, then closed the door and turned on the soundproofing system as Maine requested.

He had just clapped his hands to wake the person up, and that person was obviously a light sleeper.

Xie Sen started cutting the meat again, and suddenly realized that he hadn't asked the handsome guy his name yet! Then he thought, this guy is so handsome, he must be a celebrity in school, and if he asked this kind of question, the other party might find it strange.

Xie Sen quickly roasted the meat, and the kitchen was filled with the aroma of meat. He took a bite and gave himself a thumbs up. It tasted better than the boxed lunch he bought.

He was carrying the plate of meat and when he reached the door he paused, thinking that eating outside would disturb the owner of the house, so he simply ate slowly leaning against the counter.

As he was eating, he suddenly felt a warm sensation on his right shoulder, and he immediately shouted in his mind, "Adan, Adan!"

"Wow, why are you still awake at this hour?" the boy asked in a surprised voice.

Xie Sen recounted what happened in the afternoon: "I don't know what happened. I suddenly lost control of my movements."

A Dan was silent for a moment, then whispered, "Didn't I remind you? You need to rest for eight hours after waking up."

"You really know the reason. What is going on?"

A Dan said: "I am supported by two kinds of energy, body energy and plant energy. The body energy builds the system and exists permanently. The plant energy provides daily consumption and upgrades, and comes from the plants activated by the master."

"At the time, I only wanted to keep you alive. I didn't expect that we would cross time and space. During the crossing, I received a strong impact and my main energy was scattered. Only a small part of it remains in your body."

"The lack of energy in your body causes you to be less than 100% in tune with your body, and there will be some minor problems every eight hours."

Xie Sen took a deep breath and said, "Is this just a minor problem? Will my soul suddenly leave my body?"

"No!" Adam said, suddenly becoming weak again, "If you take a good rest, nothing will go wrong."

“Is there no solution?”

"Yes!" Adam's voice rose. "Just find my scattered energy and I will transfer some of it to you."

Xie Sen felt relieved when he heard that there was hope: "How do we find him? Where can we find him?"

"...When I have enough energy, I will be able to sense them," Adam paused, "Probably...when you activate the three plants."

Three kinds of plants? Xie Sen was struck by lightning. He had only activated two kinds of plants in the apocalypse for more than a year. The first kind required ten energy points, and the second one required one hundred. The system also required energy to grow plant fruits directly.

He rubbed his face and calmed himself down. It was the end of the world, there were few people and few channels to obtain energy. Later, in order to obtain energy, he gave people food, but was betrayed. He became wary of people, and the number of good deeds he did dropped sharply.

Finally, as the number of humans decreased, he simply found a house in the countryside, closed the door and farmed to make a living, and for a long time he did not obtain any energy.

This is a peaceful world. There are many people on the Beast Star, so obtaining energy is definitely easier than in the end of the world!

After Xie Sen encouraged himself, he thought of something and said to A Dan with a little concern: "I can't see the system panel."

"You'll see it when you activate the plants. Fortunately, you have my energy in your body, otherwise I would be temporarily useless and wouldn't even be able to activate the plants."

Xie Sen also secretly rejoiced, and then heard A Dan say: "I am going to sleep. If there is any problem in twelve hours, wake me up. If there is nothing else, I will continue to accumulate energy. If I have not finished what I want to say, I will not wake up this time."

Xie Sen quickly praised: "You woke up just in time, you are amazing, you are definitely the best system in the world, don't worry, I will definitely make you recover as soon as possible!"

Dan chuckled, "I believe you, and you are a good master."

Xie Sen couldn't help laughing. This was actually a commercial flattery.

After making sure that Adam was asleep, he finished eating the meat, cleaned up the kitchen, tiptoed back to the room, brushed his teeth and went back to sleep.

He woke up very early the next morning. He slowly pushed open the door and saw that the door next door was still closed. He walked slowly to the kitchen, closed the door and turned on the sound insulation system.

As soon as Maine opened the door, he smelled the aroma of meat. He walked into the living room and saw Xie Sen bending over to put the dinner plate. The boy was wearing a loose T-shirt. When he bent over, the fabric fell down, revealing his narrow waist.

Xie Sen put down the plate and turned around to meet Maine. He secretly admired the other's beauty and smiled brightly: "Have you finished washing up? I've made breakfast. Try it and see if it suits your taste."

Maine glanced at the coffee table. There were grilled meat and fried eggs on the plates. They looked delicious and presented themselves well.

He turned and went to the kitchen. Xie Sen said quickly, "Don't worry, I will clean it up after we finish eating. I will make sure it is exactly the same as before."

Maine didn't say anything. After a while, he came out of the kitchen and brought two glasses of water, with steam still coming out of the cups.

Xie Sen knew that he had misunderstood, so he took one of the cups with a smile and thanked him again: "Thank you, I was just about to ask where I could get some drinks!"

Maine lowered his head to eat meat. Xie Sen blinked and secretly wondered if this man had waking up autism. Why didn't he say a word?

A slight reminder sound of "Ding Dong" rang in his mind, and Xie Sen was stunned. This sound was so familiar and strange to him. At the same time as the sound rang, a few small words appeared in front of him: Gratitude Energy 2, Total 2.

He looked in surprise at the man who was eating meat in silence with no expression on his face, and at the energy of gratitude 8/10 above his head, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curve more and more.

He was so silent and cold, it turned out he was so grateful that he couldn't speak!
