Survival: My companion is not serious

"Just like I said when I saved you last night, this ability of mine needs the stimulation of desire to continue to increase. The bigger and more outrageous the request for your wish to come true, the greater the stimulation required." Feeling the car speeding up, Xia Ke's expression was a little subtle.

"Yes, that's right." Shak's words seemed to make Celestine understand something, and her beautiful and delicate cheeks turned red.

"But you can rest assured. I don't do anything to you normally. But if the situation requires it or there is an emergency in the future, and I do something out of line, please forgive me, Miss Saint." Xia Ke continued.

Shaq was not afraid to reveal his true colors, which might put the initiative in Celestine's hands.

Not to mention that if he just wanted to use force, Celestine would be able to stop him. The result of his experiment on the shop assistant today alone proved that Celestine was no longer irreplaceable to him.

"No, it's okay. We are trying to survive, there's nothing we can do about it." Celestine was very naive. She didn't think too much about calculations and conspiracies. She just felt very ashamed when facing Shak's self-description of his abilities.

"And, I can't help much. It's always Mr. Shak who has been helping me, so if I can be of any help, I'll be happy too."

? ! ! ! !

This is what you said, don't regret it later!

Looking at the shy but extremely sincere expression of the fair-skinned saint in front of him as she turned to face him, Xia Ke was overwhelmed with emotions for a moment, and in the end, his complicated feelings could only be summed up in one sentence.

"Asshole, you're already driving 180 miles per hour! Pay attention to the road and don't drive at me! You idiot!"

Chapter 12 I am an experienced driver of Subject 10

To be honest, at this moment, Xia Ke has experienced what it means to have a road killer accompanying me.

Fortunately, there are no traffic rules in this world, otherwise the other party would have dared to tilt his head to talk to him at that speed. Xia Ke felt that he would spend the rest of his life either working a sewing machine in the police station or drinking millet porridge in the hospital. In the extreme case, he would just be buried in that square little box, and his original soup would be turned into original food.

Fortunately, Xia Ke had seen many storms and even though this small situation made him nervous, he was still able to handle it.

But after arriving safely at the manor, Shak had already made up his mind that if Celestine couldn't pass the tenth test, he would never let her touch any means of transportation again.

Ah, you ask what Subject 10 is?

Of course it's subspace superluminal travel~

At that time, Shak passed it in one go. Even his boss praised him for his good skills in flying a spaceship. Every time he sailed out of the subspace, he could accurately find the center point of a battlefield, instantly making them the most handsome guys in the entire battlefield, allowing the guys to fight as soon as they came out of the subspace.

"…………"

This once made Xia Ke very sad.

To be honest, he really didn't mean it. God knows why every time he drove his warship out of the subspace, he would land accurately on a strange battlefield.

This is also thanks to the fact that Shak was reborn as the warlike race of Orcs. As long as there is a fight, they don't care about any messy conspiracies, tricks, or ethics.

Otherwise, based on Shak's actions of accurately driving his warship into the center of the battlefield every time, other races would have already started to catch the traitor!

It's you, kid, who's leading your own troops into a ditch, right? !

However, Shak could swear to all the gods in the entire subspace that although he was very warlike due to his genes at the time, he had never thought of driving a warship to the center of an unfamiliar battlefield where he didn't even know who the warring parties were.

Being belligerent doesn't mean wanting to die, but simply being belligerent doesn't mean wanting to die...

..............................

When the two arrived at the manor prepared for them by the store clerk, Xia Ke had a look of understanding on his face.

The environment can be said to be very beautiful, with mountains and rivers nearby. There is a clear river in the woods not far from the manor, and occasionally you can see animals such as elk, bears and wild boars. It seems that it will be much more convenient to go out to collect resources and hunt in the future.

You don't have to worry about drinking water and food in the short term.

But this only applies to people like Shak who have cars and guns. If it were an ordinary person, the distance from the city to the manor would take him three days and three nights to walk.

On the way here, if they cannot deal with or avoid the ferocious beasts they encounter, they will also be unable to move forward.

Things like elk, dog, bear, and wild boar may seem like words for food, but if they are placed in front of an unarmed person, they are no different from deadly murderers.

In a sense, Celestine was lucky that she made the right choice.

Following Xia Ke, there is no need to travel tiringly all the way, nor do you need to worry about being attacked by wild beasts once you leave the manor.

After a brief observation of the environment around the manor, Shak focused his attention on the manor.

Through the tattered wooden wall about two meters high that looks like it could be knocked down with one foot, you can clearly see a wooden watchtower about four or five meters high inside the manor.

The wooden door made of several broken wooden boards kept creaking as the breeze blew. It even gave you the feeling that no one needed to kick it, as just a slightly stronger wind could blow down the two broken wooden boards that were called a door.

And when the car drives into the manor, the environment inside is even more amazing.

Rather than a manor, it is more like an area the size of a football field with cages the size of fences.

Apart from two wooden foundations the size of basketball courts built in the center of the manor, the entire manor consists of four small farmlands overgrown with weeds.

To be honest, even domestically produced pay-to-win games don’t dare to be so stingy, okay? At least give me an extra warehouse!

It’s worse than the shabby makeshift shelter I built before!

After silently complaining about the stinginess of this world, Shaq turned to look at Celestine, who also looked unacceptable and shocked that she had been deceived.

"Mr. Xia Ke, I, we are not in the wrong place, right?" Celestine forced a smile and asked Xia Ke. In her beautiful big eyes, besides disbelief, there was also a hint of pleading.

She was begging Shakur to tell her it was fake and they were indeed in the wrong place.

No, where is the manor?

I don't ask you to be that good, but it's good enough, you bastard!

She saw nothing now except a few broken wooden boards!

Even though Celestine had a gentle personality, she couldn't help but get furious at this moment.

"Although it may sound a bit cruel to say this, this is indeed our destination." After simply calming himself down, Shak shrugged helplessly.

Shak's words were like a sharp arrow that pierced Celestine's heart, instantly making the goddess' reincarnation depressed and listless.

"Well, think positively. We have already reached the bottom when we came to this world. No matter how far we go, we are still climbing up, so keep going."

Seeing that the other party looked deeply shocked, Xia Ke did not say much. He just sighed and patted the other party's soft shoulders. He gave the other party a sip of chicken soup, which he did not know whether it was useful or not. Then he turned and walked towards the car and began to unload various materials collected from the city.

Shak's words and actions successfully awakened the depressed Celestine.

Yes, neither she nor Mr. Shak wanted to come into this world. This was already the worst thing in this terrible world. Could it be worse than this?

Actually, when I think about it, I am really lucky to meet Shaq in this world. He is strong, kind, knowledgeable, and wise...

Although the other party did a lot of excessive things to him in just one day, it was also forced by the situation in order to survive. In addition, he did not hate the other party, and...

Celestine glanced at Shaq who was busy again, and a charming blush appeared on her pure and beautiful face again.

If nothing unexpected happens, the other person will be the one who will accompany me for the rest of my life...

Ah, so shy!

Although it is true that she is a saint, as a young girl, it is inevitable that she will yearn for love.

Her greatest understanding of love came from occasionally listening to the stories of knights and heroes told by the servants and maids.

When the heroine was in danger, the warrior appeared in time!

A hero saves a beauty, the plot is vulgar, the story is boring, the routine is crappy, but it works all the time!

But the question is, is Shaq a Warrior?

It doesn’t matter, it’s not important. As long as Celestine thinks so, does it matter whether Shaq is right or not?

Chapter 13: False Joy

"So, is this a completely fool-proof nanny-style survival method that requires no operation, or does it really require a test of one's own hands-on skills?"

Shak didn't know what Celestine was fantasizing about at the moment. After simply unloading the supplies from the car, he opened his panel and began to think about the benefits this template could bring to him.

Doomsday survival games like this usually give players a certain level of hands-on ability, allowing them to survive even if they know everything in their heads but nothing with their hands.

For example, the most basic method is to make stone axes and stone spears, or to drill wood to make fire.

These things may seem simple, but in reality, if you throw an ordinary person into the wilderness, give him a pile of dry wood and ask him to make a fire, you can guarantee that there won't be a single spark for three days.

Indeed, anyone who has learned a little bit of physics knows that friction generates heat, and even those who have not learned it know how to make fire by rubbing two pieces of wood together. However, there are actually very few people who can actually rub the wood until it reaches the ignition temperature without special training.

Therefore, in order to make the game less difficult, the system will generally give a lighter to novice players, or give you a cutscene and let you rub out the seeds of civilization by hand.

What disappointed Xia Ke was that after he opened the system template mode, he only saw two options: health and shopping mall. There was no fire, collection, decomposition, collection, or manufacturing.

Well, to be honest, this is exactly a game. I guess Xia Ke is already on his way to the game company with a knife in hand.

With this level of difficulty, screw you!

Fortunately, Xia Ke had a positive attitude and never had any expectations for this, so there was no disappointment and he was even a little happy.

After all, there is still a shopping mall that can be used as a plug-in. Regardless of whether it is a scam or not, at least it is better than having nothing before, right?

After opening the mall, the other party did not disappoint Xia Ke as expected.

They do sell ingredients and food, but the quantities are limited and not as abundant as in the city's stores.

But Xia Ke didn't care about this. Instead, he discovered another use for the mall.

Acquisition!

Buy and sell, if there is buying, there will naturally be selling!

Before, I thought I had to have gold to exchange for gold coins, but now it seems I have an additional source of income.

In the few days before this, Shaq had looted the entire city and found a lot of jewelry and banknotes, but he rarely saw gold... no, he had never seen it at all!

Originally, for Xia Ke who had no shopping needs, gold was useless, so he never cared about it.

But now there are only two paths before me.

1. Collect resources and sell them.

Two, see if I can find a gold mine to mine.

At present, mining is out of the question, so the only option is to resell supplies...

With this in mind, Shak put his hands on the guns he made with great anticipation, and confirmed the option of acquisition.

Ordinary automatic rifles such as AK are sold at 10 gold coins in the mall, while steel is sold at 1 gold coin per unit.

1 unit of steel is an iron ingot the size of a head.

In other words, the price of raw materials is much cheaper than that of finished products.

To make your own guns, you only need a small amount of steel and other miscellaneous things.

It is conservatively estimated that one unit of steel, combined with other miscellaneous things, is enough to make ten crudely made automatic rifles.

If you sell it in the mall, 1 unit of steel can be exchanged for 100 gold coins!

Hundreds of times the profit!

This business can be done!

It seems that Xia Ke has found the way to make a fortune!

He even saw a bright future life beckoning him, and a magnificent steel fortress already stood on his own manor!

however……

'A piece of scrap copper and iron can be recycled at the price of 0.01 unit of steel.'

'Ding, because the value is lower than the minimum purchase unit, it cannot be recycled. Please gather the minimum purchase unit to purchase!'

"……………………"

After looking at the system's evaluation and then at the automatic rifle in his hand, which was still able to fire and spray bullets with great force, although some parts were rusted due to the material, Xia Ke silently gave up the idea of ​​using waste materials to make guns and sell them to make a profit.

It seems that scrap metal is just scrap metal. Even if my "power of thinking" has turned the impossible into possible, it still cannot escape the fact that it is essentially scrap metal.

No one acknowledged it as a gun, thinking it was just a piece of badly rusted scrap metal. The "power of my thinking" that used to be able to distort reality and was always successful finally failed in front of the serious system.

Tsk, I'm a little dissatisfied.

This is blatant discrimination!

The shabby shops don’t even know how much the scrap metal wants to prove its value!

"That Mr. Shak..." Just when Shak was indignant about the automatic rifle, Celestine's voice came from the side.

"Well, what's the matter?" Xia Ke turned his head and looked at the fair-skinned saint from the black beast world.

"No, I just want to ask what your plans are for the future, and what I can do for you?" Celestine's eyes were a little evasive, as if she didn't dare to look at Shak, and she lowered her head to look at her feet... plump and magnificent, "After all, the next step is the life of two people, I, I can't always live under the protection of Mr. Shak."

"Well, that's right." Xia Ke was not polite this time, nor did he show any male chauvinism and say that he would take care of all the work and the other party would just be responsible for being beautiful. Instead, he touched his chin and thought for a while before speaking.
