I was used as cannon fodder at the start, but my superpower came into play!
Chapter 37 Forget about a girlfriend, I don't even own a car!
As the night drew to a close, Lu Jin and Wu Baohua's first two shifts of guard duty passed without incident.
Su Yu didn't wait for the other party to call him; he got up on his own and took the initiative to relieve Wu Baohua, who was in charge of the second shift.
Sitting on a rock with only his head sticking out, Su Yu observed his surroundings. Every now and then, he would look up at the starry sky above and couldn't help but marvel at how beautiful the scenery of this island was.
The night sky is like a huge, deep blue ribbon, studded with countless dazzling gems.
Each star twinkles with a mysterious and enchanting light, as if telling ancient and distant stories.
In the distance, wave after wave surged in, crashing against the rocks on the shore with a rhythmic "whoosh" sound.
Listening to the soothing melody played by nature, Su Yu closed her eyes and wholeheartedly felt the tranquility and beauty.
After an unknown amount of time, a sudden, slight noise broke the silence.
Su Yu suddenly opened his eyes, alertly pricked up his ears, and carefully tried to pinpoint the source of the sound.
His eyes quickly scanned the surroundings, not missing a single corner.
Gradually, a figure emerged from behind the rocks where they were resting. Su Yu looked closely and, confirming that it was not an enemy, breathed a sigh of relief.
"Why are you awake?"
The person who came was Lu Jin, and Su Yu naturally struck up a conversation with her.
"Angkor's snoring is too loud."
Lu Jin walked over to Su Yu with a smile.
"You'll have to adapt. It's already quite an achievement to be able to get a good night's sleep on this island."
To be honest, not everyone is like him, without any bad habits when sleeping.
Gritting your teeth, farting, and snoring are all perfectly normal habits. In particular, snoring, apart from improper sleeping posture, is basically a sign of respiratory problems.
Once he survives this survival game and goes back to have the Red Cube heal him, Wu Baohua will no longer snore when he sleeps.
"I know, I'm not complaining. I just thought you were bored on night watch and might doze off, so I came to keep you company and chat with you!"
Lu Jin leaned down and sat next to Su Yu, taking something out of her bosom.
"this......"
Looking at what Lu Jin was holding, Su Yu was both amused and exasperated.
This girl is so patient! She hasn't even eaten the canned fruit I gave her yet!
Su Yu had assumed that Lu Jin would eat the can of fruit while she was on night duty.
Anyway, there are still plenty of canned fruit in his spatial watch. As long as Lu Jin performs well enough, Su Yu will definitely not let this girl suffer a loss in her first survival killing game.
I didn't expect Lu Jin to be so thrifty, saving him supplies here!
"hey-hey......"
Lu Jin chuckled softly, took out her jungle dagger, and poked a hole in the cap of the fruit can.
Then, holding the bottom of the bottle with one hand and grabbing the cap with the other, Lu Jin twisted open the can of fruit with a little force.
Setting the bottle cap aside, Lu Jin held the can in both hands and handed it to Su Yu.
"See how good I am to you? You can't say I'm selfish!"
Lu Jin's posture clearly indicated that she wanted Su Yu to take the first bite.
"You can eat. I'm neither thirsty nor hungry, and I have a few cans in my spatial watch."
Su Yu shook his head, politely declining Lu Jin's offer.
He didn't mention that he had at least a few boxes of canned goods like that in his spatial watch, as that would seem too cheap.
But Su Yu couldn't bring himself to snatch food from a girl's mouth, especially food he had given her before.
"I know you have it, but it's yours and what you give me is a different matter. Besides, the fruit cans you take out from your space watch are ice cold. How are you supposed to eat them? It's already cold at the beach at night. You should eat something warmer."
Lu Jin did not withdraw her hand, as if she would not eat it if Su Yu did not eat it.
"Well......"
Having said that, Su Yu had no choice but to accept the other party's kindness.
Refusing again would be somewhat ungrateful.
Taking the canned food that the girl had warmed with her body heat, Su Yu took a sip in front of Lu Jin.
Their lips barely touched the bottle opening before parting. Although Lu Jin had requested it, Su Yu was still very careful about the boundaries.
"Didn't you ask Angkor if he wanted to eat it?"
Su Yu handed the can back to Lu Jin and asked in a low voice.
The night was too quiet, and he was afraid that Wu Baohua would wake up and happen to pass by and hear his words.
That would be tantamount to selling Lu Jin out.
"I asked him. When we were changing shifts, I offered him some, but Brother Wu refused no matter what. He even scolded me for being stupid and not knowing how to keep it to myself, so I had no choice but to keep it. I kept it in my arms while I slept. If Brother Wu wants some now, I'm really too embarrassed to give it to him."
Lu Jin blushed slightly, clearly indicating that Su Yu and Wu Baohua held different positions in her heart.
Wu Baohua was the eldest brother, while Su Yu was about the same age as her.
In addition, Su Yu, who looks only sixteen years old, is more handsome and refined than the twenty-three-year-old Su Yu.
This gave Lu Jin, who already had a good impression of him, the courage to make such an intimate gesture.
"Angkor was just saying it casually. Anyone who thinks you're stupid is the real fool."
Su Yu chuckled softly. Lu Jin was a clever girl, just like a little fox.
How could she possibly lose out to the other party if she did this?
Lu Jin didn't argue, but held the can of fruit in her arms and took a sip of juice.
"Hey, do you think if I survive this game, the red Rubik's Cube can really heal my legs and eyes?"
Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, Lu Jin asked Su Yu.
Lu Jintai longed to be a healthy person, fearing that Su Yu would say that everything he said in the room with the red Rubik's Cube was a lie.
Su Yu nodded. For him at the moment, the red Rubik's Cube was indeed omnipotent.
"As long as you try to live, the Red Cube can grant all your wishes. Didn't I say before that I'm older than you? Although I did that for another purpose, and becoming younger is just an extra effect, I bought seven Rejuvenation Pills from the Red Cube. Before I met you, I looked more mature than I do now, and my actual age was twenty-three."
"Really?"
"Of course it's true."
"Then can you tell me why you bought that 'Rejuvenation Pill' from the Red Cube?"
Lu Jin blinked, staring at Su Yu with a face full of curiosity.
On the one hand, she developed a strong interest in Rubik's Cube space.
On the other hand, Lu Jin also wanted to understand Su Yu in front of her better.
Since he was idle anyway, and as long as he could survive, he would find out about this information sooner or later, so Su Yu didn't mind telling Lu Jin in advance.
"Each player's strength is recorded by the administrator of the Cube Space, namely the Red Cube. The players' physical attributes are divided into six categories: strength, intelligence, spirit, stamina, speed, and nerve reaction speed. Strength, stamina, and speed can be enhanced by the protective suit, but spirit and nerve reaction speed cannot. As for intelligence, that value is fixed and can never be changed. Compared to spending points to enhance nerve reaction speed, it is obviously more cost-effective to take the Rejuvenation Pill to make the body younger and improve nerve reaction speed."
"I see, so you weren't just bragging when you said you were older than me!"
"You don't actually think I'm bragging, do you?"
"Of course."
Lu Jin nodded seriously, then changed the subject.
"Since you said you're twenty-three, have you ever been in a relationship, and do you have a boyfriend now?"
"I don't even have a car, let alone a boyfriend."
"puff......"
"What are you laughing at?"
Su Yu looked at Lu Jin speechlessly. Although he had just made a joke with her, he felt that the girl's smile was not so simple.
Lu Jin barely managed to stop laughing and turned her gaze back to Su Yu.
I thought to myself, this guy isn't bad looking, how could he not even have a girlfriend?
Lu Jin voiced her doubts, and Su Yu shrugged helplessly upon hearing her words.
"It's because I have an older sister who's known to outsiders as an extremely doting brother. She always says that if I want to find a girlfriend, the other person's conditions must surpass hers. But my sister is far superior to ordinary people in both looks and talent. Over time, after seeing her so much, ordinary people no longer catch my eye. Even if I lower my standards, my sister will not agree."
Su Yu was telling the truth. Let alone at the county or city level, how many women in the whole province or even the whole country can truly surpass Su Yingluo in both looks and talent?
Su Yingluo's existence is extremely rare.
There must be someone even more outstanding than Su Yingluo. Su Yu felt that even such a person wouldn't be interested in him.
"I'm actually quite curious about what kind of person your sister is. If I have the chance, I'd really like to meet her."
Lu Jin stroked her chin, appearing deep in thought.
"I can tell you with certainty that if the two of you sat down face to face and exchanged more than ten sentences, I would consider you quite impressive."
Su Yu shook his head, not optimistic about Lu Jin.
Su Yingluo could only show her feminine side in front of him.
If it were their parents, Su Yingluo wouldn't have said so much.
As for outsiders, Su Yingluo's attitude has always been: if there's something to discuss, then discuss it; if there's nothing to discuss, then don't engage in awkward small talk.
Otherwise, with Su Yingluo's looks and talent, how could she have been twenty-four years old and never had a single relationship?
Leaving aside the past and the future, there are at least seven or eight people currently pursuing Su Yingluo, if not a dozen.
However, let alone smiling, Su Yingluo didn't even glance at the messages the other party sent, and she wouldn't answer their calls either.
If anyone dares to bombard her with text messages or phone calls, Su Yingluo will immediately block them.
"Then can you tell me, if your sister were a perfect 100, what score would you give me?"
Lu Jin was good at conversation and knew how to take advantage of the situation.
Hearing Lu Jin say this, Su Yu carefully examined the girl in front of him.
To be fair, Lu Jin is very beautiful; she's the kind of woman who evokes a protective instinct in people at first glance.
The moonlight bathed her, casting a soft and dreamy halo over Lu Jin's short golden hair, making her seem like an elf from a fairy tale, with a touch of otherworldly aloofness and innocence.
Her eyes were large and bright, like the most dazzling stars in the night sky, sparkling with a lively and cunning light.
Her long eyelashes trembled gently, like the fluttering of butterfly wings, each movement seemingly capable of stirring the heart.
Beneath her small, straight nose was a pair of pink lips, which were slightly pursed, carrying a hint of stubbornness and expectation.
"One hundred points."
Su Yu gave his answer; he was not just giving the other party a perfunctory answer.
"You liar! Even your sister, whom you described as so wonderful, only gets a perfect score of 100. But when it comes to me, she still gets a perfect score of 100."
Lu Jin was a little angry; she felt that Su Yu was trying to make her happy.
Lu Jin hates being deceived the most, just like Su Yu.
From childhood to adulthood, countless ill-intentioned people have tried every trick in the book to deceive Lu Jin with sweet words because of her family background, all in an attempt to gain something from her.
Those people, on the surface, praised her for being lively, cute, and beautiful.
Behind her back, they cursed her, calling her blind and lame.
"I'm not lying to you."
Su Yu's tone was firm, and his eyes did not flinch.
"You're a liar! You're lying to me!"
Perhaps even Lu Jin herself didn't notice that she unconsciously tightened her grip on the can of fruit.
"I already said, you and she are not the same type."
Su Yu felt like crying, because the problem was raised by Lu Jin, and he was just telling the truth, so how did he become a liar?
"You still say you're not lying to me? I'm blind and lame. Even if we're not the same type, how can I compare to your sister and still get the same score as her?"
Perhaps because she was in another world, Lu Jin no longer concealed her feelings and exposed all her inferiority complex to Su Yu.
"Have you ever thought that while you lost something, you also gained something that others don't have? You lost your right eye and left leg in an accident, but it is precisely this disability that arouses other people's protective instincts. Whether they need it or not is your business, but that is also your charm, which cannot be refuted."
Su Yu's words left Lu Jin speechless.
Large tears slid down Lu Jin's left cheek; it was the first time she had ever heard someone say that.
Everyone, including Lu Jin's parents, deliberately avoided looking at her right eye and left leg, afraid that they might accidentally reopen their daughter's wounds during the conversation.
Only Su Yu faced the situation directly, which instantly raised Lu Jin's favorability towards him to an unprecedented level.
Bang!
The glass bottle that Lu Jin was holding shattered because the girl used too much force, spilling juice and pulp all over her.
"ah......"
Lu Jin then came to her senses and hurriedly raised her hand to wipe away the tears on her face.
Are you alright?
Su Yu didn't care about anything else and grabbed Lu Jin's hand.
Su Yu breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that the gloves covering her protective suit had not been cut by the glass shards.
He thought to himself that this girl was quite strong. Even with the protective suit enhancing her physical strength to three times its original level, crushing a glass bottle wouldn't be an easy task.
"No, it's nothing. I didn't expect the protective suit to be so effective in enhancing my physical fitness."
Lu Jin felt a little flustered. She felt her cheeks burning and didn't dare to look up and meet Su Yu's gaze.
While frantically wiping the glass shards and fruit pieces off her body, Lu Jin kept saying how regrettable it was that can of food, as she hadn't even had a few bites.
Su Yu offered her another bottle, but Lu Jin refused no matter what.
She hurriedly stood up from the rocks, covered her face with her hands, and fled to the resting place without looking back.
