CH 24.1

(Two in one) [Shoot, close call!]

… 

The topic of finding the Omega was over for now.

Since Lu Liran and the others set off near noon, there was not much time left for them to travel today.

“In the wild, if there is no clock that can tell the time, the easiest and most effective way is to observe the shadow.” Lu Liran said as he went on his way, “Light travels in a straight line without turning, therefore the shadow at noon is the shortest, and the closer to the evening, the light shines diagonally, the longer the shadow.”

“It’s about eleven or twelve o’clock at noon. We are located in a high latitude area, and the sun sets close to seven or eight o’clock in the evening. We have five hours to make the journey and to find a suitable place as a stopping point for the night.” 

[Brother Lu doesn’t need to look at the shadow anymore, if you want to know the time, just look at the barrage!]

[Your little cutie will tell you the time, it is now 11:30, the official time of Desolate Star—— BrotherLu’sLegPendant gifted the anchor 1x sushi]

Lu Liran glanced at the bullet screen, and couldn’t help but bent the corner of his mouth in amusement: “Well, it’s good to have the correct time.”

[Hey—— I was flopped by Brother Lu! From now on, I will be Brother Lu’s time-telling robot! No emotion, only tell the time]

In the live broadcast room, a bunch of various time-telling messages popped up all of a sudden, accurate to the second. Lu Liran felt dazzled after just a glance, and shook his head helplessly and amusingly.

“Flop? Does answering the barrage mean the flop?” Lu Liran asked, still a little puzzled. Responding to part of the barrage would excite his audience so much?

[Yeah yeah! To be flopped twice by Brother Lu in so many barrages is simply the pinnacle of life QAQ]

[Come on, that is to say, the traffic of this anchor is small, there are only such pitiful bullet screens, it is natural that the probability of being flopped is high] 

[Tch, if you can’t eat grapes and say grapes are sour, sooner or later, brother Lu will get angry!]

[Our brother Lu’s peak stream of live streaming has exceeded 200,000!]

[The fans of this little anchor are so ignorant, tsk, tsk, two hundred thousand is nothing~]

[As long as you have knowledge, try going to Arlok for two nights? I will open my mouth, a little bit] 

[……]

The live broadcast room began to fight, and Lu Liran did not continue to watch the screen.

And judging from some feedback on the barrage, he seems to have a small group of fans. 

It’s really incredible.

He touched his face, it was unexpected that these people were not scared away by his appearance. And now, they’re also willing to protect an anchor, who had nothing to do with them. It was an unexpected joy, which made him feel a little warm.

The battle that took place on the escape craft and caused it to crash land left distorted scars on his face that cannot be reversed by Desolate Star medical technology, completely changing his appearance.

In addition to the scars all over his face, the small half of his face was wrinkled as if it had been burned by fire. Transformed, even if his father and brother saw him with this appearance, they probably wouldn’t be able to recognize him for a while. 

With such a face, he also scared and made Lu Ziqian’s little friend’s cry.

Lu Liran could still remember it. One day, his little boy came back with a wound on the corner of his eye, it was only after he kept asking that he whimpered and explained that the kid who was frightened, kept crying around saying that Lu Ziqian’s papa was a monster, and his little boy was so angry that he rushed up and started a fight.

“Papa is not a monster.” Lu Ziqian’s eyes turned red with anger, and he hugged his papa’s neck tightly.

The child, who was protective of the calf, always used his small body to block Lu Liran in front, giving Lu Liran the illusion that he was being protected by his little boy. 

At that time, Jin Fei painstakingly administered medicine to the little boy, he also rambled on and on, teaching the little boy the secrets of fighting.

Lu Liran felt that the direction of his son’s education was a bit crooked, and when he tried to correct it, but he heard this child, Lu Ziqian proudly say to Jin Fei: “Uncle Jin, Zai-Zai beat up that bad Zai-Zai, and he apologized!”

“The little young master did a great job.” Jin Fei praised without hesitation, “We will protect the young master together.”

“Protect Papa!” Lu Ziqian responded with a cry. 

——Not realizing how inappropriate it is for a child as young as three or four years old to fight with someone his own age.

But luckily, this child, Lu Ziqian didn’t do anything like that again, and he was still thriving to be a well-behaved cub.

Thinking of his little boy, Lu Liran’s eyes softened, and there was a vague smile on his lips.

Ke Ji has been paying attention to Lu Liran, and it was rare to see that the other party smiles without any ridicule or sarcasm. It seemed that he had thought of something particularly beautiful, and his whole body seemed to soften. 

“What did you think of?” He asked curiously.

Lu Liran withdrew his scattered thoughts, thinking that he hadn’t had video communication with his little boy for several days this time, and his desire to go home became even stronger.

He glanced at Ke Ji, and according to the normal pace, they might be able to reach the coast of the Barents Sea tomorrow afternoon.

“I’m thinking that when we arrive near the coastline of the Barents Sea, this live broadcast will be completely over.” Lu Liran said, “I hope there will be no accidents along the way.” 

Ke Ji raised his eyebrows, he was happy because he was about to be rescued? He didn’t believe it.

In the live broadcast room, because of the end signal that Lu Liran suddenly dropped——

[Ao! Not willing, the anchor should broadcast for two more days!! Encore please! —— WatchTheSkyAcrossTheSea gifted the anchor 1x Top-quality Wagyu Beef]

[Encore, is it appropriate to use it here…but please broadcast more for two days +1!] 

[I’ve been used to checking in Brother Lu’s live broadcast for several days in a row, how long will it take until the next live broadcast]

[Yes, when is Brother Lu’s next live broadcast? Is there any notice! Or fan groups!]

[Let me pull the group! 614934457, password: ExplodingEyes! —— SaltedFish YuYu gifted the anchor 1x Buddha Jumping over the wall]

[Fuck, this password is poisonous, hahahaha, I feel that the whole group has that smell!] 

[Again and again, I see this local tyrant!]

“The time for the next broadcast has not yet been determined, but you can pay attention to the live broadcast room, there will be reminders when the broadcast starts, and I will also synchronize the announcement on the live broadcast platform.” Lu Liran said.

Ke Ji walked beside him, and upon hearing this, he glanced at him.

Lu Liran noticed Ke Ji’s gaze, he looked back, and raised his eyebrows slightly, his eyes signaling the other party to say what he wanted to say straight, don’t hesitate. 

“This time in Arlok, you almost died from an avalanche. Aren’t you afraid? Are you planning to continue?” Ke Ji asked.

Ke Ji’s questioning was simultaneously recorded in the live broadcast room, and the bullet screen also paused in silence for a short time, with a short blank.

For the audience in the live broadcast room, watching the live broadcast is just entertainment and stimulation, but for Lu Liran, it is to experience extreme danger first hand time and time again.

“I’ve gone deep into the primitive forest of No man’s land, after surviving there for fifteen days, I crossed the Death Canyon, hiked across the largest desert in Desolate Star, and entered and exited Snake Island…” Lu Liran heard his words and said lightly, “If I stop because I’m afraid, then I can’t do anything.” 

Ke Ji did not expect to get such an answer—— it can be called a textbook-like wilderness survival experience.

To be honest, he was even prepared to be ridiculed by Lu Liran for being nosy.

[Fuck, Brother Lu is awesome! It is no exaggeration to say that those places are the top ten most dangerous places in Desolate Star!]

[I strongly recommend that Brother Lu add this experience in each opening statement! A good shock to the new audience] 

[That’s right, that’s right, save them from beeping blindly]

[Seconded]

Lu Liran looked at Ke Ji, and asked again: “What about you? Are you afraid?”

Ke Ji paused, and he realized that Lu Liran was referring to him, as an Omega, whether he’s also afraid of having traveled alone to this planet, which is known for its extremely poor order, to find his partner. 

He shook his head, there is no comparison, he is not an Omega at all.

But when Ke Ji looked into Lu Liran’s dark brown eyes, he saw the persistence and seriousness hidden under those long eyelashes, his heart beat faster, and suddenly realized that in Lu Liran’s eyes, this problem had nothing to do with gender differentiation at all.

“Same as you.” He said. Whether it’s a war, or when he looks back and thinks that he is the only one left in the universe, he can’t stop because of fear.

Lu Liran tugged at the corner of his mouth and said nothing more on this topic. 

Sunnyshies: Man~ Lu Liran sounds like a speaker in a marketing seminar! You know, those dubious seminar that you don’t know of, but someone would just pull you in the crowd to attend it, saying you will get rich easily by attending it.

Mc: I’m not scared, are you?!

Everyone: No!

Mc: Then what are you waiting for?! Follow me! We will rule the world!! 



Btw, I think I could answer you doubts about why mc can’t communicate with his family! Mc crash land in Desolate Start 3-4 years ago, and it was in the middle of the war. The communication across the galaxy was strictly controlled. Then the war ended in the beginning of the novel, 3-4 years later…and mc was busy running around doing the system’s task, so he could only thrive in one goal– buying the ferry ticket to go to more advance planet, so he doesn’t have much time to find ways to communicate with his family (don’t forget this planet hated federal government, esp Ke Ji). Few days later, after the announcing the end of the war, Ke Ji realized he still had family and went to find them. On the way, Ke Ji was bombed by exploding star!! And he almost crash land too. Without technology, how long does exploding star stabilized, it will take millions of years!! But according to Ke Ji’s chief of staff (?) it will take two months? for the communications to recover!!

This is just my own personal analysis…and this is from my understanding of the novel’s time line.

That it!! |▽//)
