Chapter 3

Liu Wei An took off his helmet and laid on the bed without moving. However, he immediately felt that something was amiss. He no longer felt weak like he usually did. Recalling the two white crystals he had eaten today, he immediately understood what was going on.

He opened his eyes and found that the room was dark, it was at least an hour and a half later than usual. He switched on the light switch and the room was illuminated as bright as day by the fluorescent lights. Liu Wei An wasn't surprised. He just asked, "Why is there no light even when it's dark?"

The older one was around thirty years old while the younger one was around eleven years old. Both of them had the same type of characteristics: thin, the type of lean that was malnourished over a long period of time, as if a gust of wind could knock them down.

They were a stray mother and daughter. By chance, they saved Liu Wei An's life. Therefore, Liu Wei An took them in after the crisis. Originally, Liu Wei An couldn't support himself and wasn't qualified to accept others. However, at that time, if he didn't take the two of them in, the two of them would definitely be killed as vectors.

However, Liu Wei'an clearly knew that the symptoms on the two of them were like smallpox, but not contagious.

His mother, Zhao Nannan, and the little girl, from the mother's surname to Zhao Xin, probably hoped that she would be able to prosper and grow up happily. However, reality had obviously spoiled this beautiful wish of hers.

"Mom said to save energy." Zhao Xin said in a crisp voice. Her expression showed that she was pleasantly surprised to see Liu Wei An wake up, but also had a bit of inferiority, because of the spots on her face. Zhao Nan Nan Nan's face was very beautiful, with smooth lines and delicate facial features. If it wasn't for the dense red spots, she would definitely be a top cla.s.s beauty. Her eyes were filled with melancholy as she caressed Zhao Xin's hair, not knowing what she was thinking about.

Liu Wei An sighed and got off the bed.

This was a room that was only 10 square meters in size. After putting down a bed, there was not much s.p.a.ce left. There were no windows, and the iron gates were rusted with damp. Fortunately, the fluorescent lights were on. There was a shabby bedside table, he opened the drawer and took a look. There were only two energy tubes inside. Liu Wei An immediately understood the reason for the melancholy in Zhao Nannan's eyes.

According to the standards, an energy tube could only sustain a human's life for one day. However, for most poor people and slaves, being able to use an energy tube for three days on average was already a happy thing. Many slaves even took one every five days. Because of the lack of energy, the result was that they had to sleep for a long time to minimize energy consumption. However, this way, they wouldn't be able to work and they wouldn't be able to earn money, making them poorer and poorer. This was a vicious circle.

She could persevere, but Zhao Xin could not. She was developing her body, but Zhao Nan did not dare to let her consume it, because the one who needed the energy tube the most was Liu Wei An, who had to enter the world of demon beasts to earn money. Without physical strength, he would die for sure, and Liu Wei An was the only source of income for the three of them.

Liu Wei An's gaze swept over the mother and daughter pair. His eyes were filled with emotion and pity, but most of it was filled with resentment towards the injustice of this world. However, these emotions only flashed briefly before he said, "I'm going out for a while."

Both mother and daughter were surprised at the same time. Fear showed on Zhao Xin's face. Zhao Nannan hesitated for a moment and then said in a low voice, "Be careful."

Liu Wei An nodded and left.

Right now, it should be somewhere between six in the evening and the starting point. However, it was already as dark as the night. The strong winds howled, and the coldness was bone-chilling. The temperature was pitifully low. Liu Wei An tightened the thin and tattered clothes on his body. With a resolute look in his eyes, he strode forward.

Three months ago, he was still on Earth. Although he still had food, books, and friends in the orphanage, fate had played a joke on him.

On a dark night, the benevolent abbot called him out, and he was taken away in a car, convicted of murder, deported to Saturn, and never returned. Initially, he was still confused. It was only when he boarded the s.p.a.ces.h.i.+p for Saturn that he suddenly realized that he was the one in charge.

A month ago, when he went out to buy daily necessities, he had met the mother and daughter pair. He did not know why they had wandered here, and although the slums were not much better than the slums, the management was much stricter. People like Zhao Nannan and her daughter with suspected infectious diseases would be forcibly arrested, and even if they resisted, they could be killed on the spot. Liu Wei An thanked them for saving his life and quietly brought them back to his residence.

In the blink of an eye, a month had pa.s.sed. The consumption rate of the three of them was more than twice that of the one before. Although the three of them were trying their best to save, they were already at the end of their tether.

In the world of magical beasts, it wasn't that easy to survive.

Earth, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn were overcrowded. All sorts of contradictions broke out, such as the gap between rich and poor, cla.s.s conflicts, partisan battles, country struggles, underground powers, terrorists …. These dissatisfaction were like the water in a pressure cooker: boiling, boiling, boiling, and finally, with a bang, the pressure cooker exploded.

The war began on Saturn, and soon it spread to Jupiter, and finally to Mars, and then to mankind's birthplace, Earth, after a year of war, the planet was almost destroyed, countless people died, the population fell by one third, and so on. At the height of the battle, aliens attacked.

Earth's technological development had long rushed out of the solar system. After searching bitterly for hundreds of years without finding any aliens, at the most unexpected moment, the aliens appeared.

The technological civilization was almost returned to the primitive society, and that battle was known as the Apocalypse War.

Lack of resources is the biggest problem that mankind is facing urgently.

Just as the rulers of the three empires decided to launch the 'weeding' plan, an unexpected event occurred. The so-called weed control plan was to clear out the human weeds. The weeds were useless, but they would absorb nutrients. The weeds were the human slaves, the poor, and the criminals.

After the war of the apocalypse, the former empire of the solar system had disappeared and was replaced by the three new empires, the Darkhan Dynasty, the Mayan Empire and the Atlantis Union. Because of some historical reasons, humans were recla.s.sified from the top down to the bottom, n.o.bles, citizens, commoners, and slaves.

Slaves basically had no rights, only the fate of being slaughtered.

This world was dominated by magical beasts, and the most important thing was that the resources inside were three times richer than before the excavation of the solar system. Without a doubt, the resources of the world of magical beasts could support the human race for at least three hundred years.

Thus, a game called 'Plunder' was born.

As mentioned earlier, the black hole plan was a failure in nature, so in terms of 'plundering', there were many flaws. For example, the human body could not enter the world of demon beasts, and could not even carry any items. The only choice was to enter the world of demon beasts through the game helmet and brain waves.

Real people and the real world were exactly the same. There was no difference in physique or intelligence. The only difference was that the dead bodies in the Magic Beast World could be resurrected. However, there was a limit to how long it could be revived. Normal people would need at least a month to be revived.

However, it was limited to inanimate objects. Although it was not ideal, for humans, it was still great news because the meat, plants, minerals and other items from the world of magical beasts could be constantly transferred to the human world. The crisis of the depletion of human resources was suddenly alleviated.
