“Why did you suddenly want to stand up? Your body’s still very weak, and there’s porridge in the pot. Don’t move and rest well!”

Su Chen was pushed down onto the bed by the girl again. He wanted to say something, but at this time, a man’s voice was heard coming from outside the room,

“Sister, when are we going to eat… I’m starving to death!”

A man walked over while talking. The girl stood up and wanted to push him out.

“Brother! I told you that the patient needs to rest! Can you stop shouting so loudly?! You didn’t even knock before coming in!”

The boy argued reluctantly, “It’s true that the patient needs to rest, but the doctor also needs to eat…”

Su Chen looked at all of this in a daze. The girl realized it and immediately explained to him, “This is my brother. His name’s Yousi.”

The boy took a step forward and extended his hand as he said, “Hello, my name’s Yousi. I’m a veterinarian. If that white wolf is your friend, I’ve already treated him. The fee’s probably…”

Before he could finish, the girl punched Yousi in the head.

“Brother! What are you doing?! He’s still a patient!”

Yousi whispered again, “Patients don’t have to pay. Free food and accommodation…”

The girl continued to stare at Yousi, then smiled at Su Chen and apologized. Su Chen was amused by this and the pressure in his heart was relieved. This was the first time he had talked to a living person in so many days.

“Thank you so much for saving us. I’ll definitely find a way to pay you.”

Hearing Su Chen’s words, Yousi cried out in surprise, “What?! So, you’re a pauper?!” He was immediately beaten up again.

“Brother!”

Yousi waved his hand helplessly,

“Okay, okay, okay… I don’t care anymore. I’ll go out and wait for my meal.”

After he said that, he walked out. The girl suddenly seemed to have noticed something and said, “I haven’t told you my name yet! Haha… My memory… My name’s Youli.”

Su Chen also looked at her and said, “My name’s Su Chen. Can you tell me where I am?”

Youli sat beside Su Chen and said, “This is called Haiping Village. It’s a very remote mountain village. Because it’s near the sea, the villagers are afraid that one day, the village will be eroded by the sea, so they named it Haiping Village. They hope that the sea will remain calm and the villagers can be safe.”

As You Li said this, Su Chen carefully looked at the girl in front of him. She looked smaller than him. Her skin was white and she was small. When she spoke, her eyes were always smiling. She was very cute.

When Youli saw that Su Chen did not respond, she waved at him and asked “What’s wrong, brother Su Chen?”

Su Chen came back to his senses and quickly said, “No, no… Then, do you know how to get to Marhaz from here?”

Youli thought for a while and said, “It’s not close to Marhaz. If there’s a carriage, it might take you two weeks to reach. You can head north from here. But, Brother Su Chen, what are you planning on doing there…”

Su Chen saw that Youli’s expression seemed odd, so he carefully asked her, “What’s wrong?”

Youli looked at Su Chen for a long time before she spoke again, “Marhaz… It’s not very peaceful over there, especially now that the Gladiator Arena’s holding its annual duel. For some reason, Marl has become irritable in the past few years. He loves watching brutal duels and constantly accepts violent soldiers. The duel is a performance that accepts talents and has a violent aesthetic. So, if Brother Su Chen’s also going for this…”

She was worried about him. Su Chen suddenly understood that Youli wanted to say something but hesitated. He comforted her, “No, I just have something to do…”

Hearing this, Youli let out a sigh of relief.

“That’s good. Brother Su Chen, you should rest well first. I’ll go prepare lunch.”

After that, Youli left the room. Su Chen slowly tried to get up from the bed again and walked to the windowsill. He looked at the busy people and some buildings outside the window. The buildings were in the Rococo style, very similar to the European medieval history books. It seemed that the setting of this game world was European-style. Then, Youli’s lolita outfit was not so out of place. On the contrary, his clothes were already tattered. If he wanted to set off again, he would definitely have to buy some equipment. What should he do?

Moreover, there was one more thing that Su Chen had to figure out. If the game world was as big as the system said, then were they players or NPCs?

He stood there thinking for a while. There was a commotion outside. When Su Chen heard it, he sat back on the bed. Then, Yousi walked in with food,

“How troublesome… Brother, are you the kind of person who eats and drinks for free? If you don’t have money now, you can owe us first. You can give it to us later.”

As Yousi spoke, he placed the food on the table beside Su Chen, signaling for Su Chen to come and eat.

Su Chen walked over and looked at the simple fried eggs, milk, porridge, and toast on the table. Hunger finally took over his brain. He sat down and started eating without any explanation. Yousi saw Su Chen wolfing down the food and revealed a look of disdain.

Soon, Su Chen finished the food in front of him and replied, “I’ll think of a way to return the money to you as soon as possible. However, I have three things I want to ask you clearly.”

Yousi adjusted his sitting posture and faced Su Chen, who was sitting with his fingers tapping on the table. He asked in return, “Do you want to know if I’m a player? Or do you want to know how your wolf’s doing? Or is it something else?”

Hearing this, Su Chen was shocked, but he quickly calmed down.

“I think I know the answer to the first question.”

Yousi’s lips curled into a smile.

“Oh? What do you mean?”

“Do you think an NPC would ask if he’s a player?”

After hearing Suchen’s words, Yousi laughed out loud.

“Interesting… I’m indeed a player. Moreover, I know that you’re also a player and a newbie.”

Su Chen knew that he was teasing him, but he did not really care. Yousi saw that his words could not stir up Su Chen’s emotions. He felt that it was extremely boring, so he slowly said, “Well, that wolf’s very strong. It’s sleeping like a pig now. It’ll be fine. It’ll probably return to normal tomorrow. I think I’ve answered both of your questions. What’s your last question?”

“I want to ask you, how long have you been here?”

Yousi did not immediately answer Su Chen’s question. He stopped smiling and looked unusually serious..
