Chapter 8 - Chapter 8 The So-called Player

Seeing Xu Lun quickly sweeping away the food, Saeko Busujima smiled and sat aside, occasionally handing him ice water. She softly asked, "There aren't many ingredients in the refrigerator. I don't know if it suits Xu Lun's taste."

Xu Lun nodded and said, "Very delicious. Busujima's cooking skills are amazing."

Saeko Busujima quietly sat beside him, watching Xu Lun enjoy the food. A sense of tranquility arose in her heart, temporarily forgetting the slaughter of today.

"Saeko doesn't even ask for my opinion," Shizuka Marikawa said while biting into a fried shrimp tempura.

It could be seen that in just one afternoon, their relationship had rapidly improved.

"Then what is Marikawa Sensei's opinion?"

"I want to eat dessert."

"There isn't any."

"Eh, but Saeko asked me."

"But this place really doesn't have any dessert. There are two cans of Little Bear Biscuits though."

Shizuka Marikawa and Saeko Busujima quickly finished eating. The remaining food on the table was all taken care of by Xu Lun. His appetite was quite large, which was also the main reason for his poverty.

After eating, of course, it was time to take a shower. The three of them were still relatively clean, not stained with too much blood, but they had sweated a lot.

Suggestive sounds came from the bathroom, but Xu Lun didn't have time to listen. He found a map of this world and studied it in the living room.

The world's structure was not much different from the world in his previous life. He was currently located in Bed-Lord City, Japan, a local city with a population of one million facing the Pacific Ocean.

Looking at the outlines of other countries, Xu Lun was pondering what the situation of this world actually was.

Paradise referred to both Xu Lun and that Lizard as players. The term player can also be called gamer, a term between the game industry and game participants.

So, is this so-called Trial World real?

Or is this just a game generated by Paradise?

Will there be air walls at the border of Bed-Lord City?

When did Paradise exist? Why hadn't he encountered any extraordinary events for so long outside?

Before entering the trial, Paradise congratulated him on joining the so-called evolution.

Evolution?

The Workshop he had just inherited was called Darwin. As everyone knows, Darwin is revered as the father of evolution. Although the Darwin on his neck was a Curly-haired Baboon, it also claimed to be the father of evolution. Could there be any connection between the Workshop and Paradise?

One question after another popped up in his mind, but there was no way to solve them.

Clicking on the Paradise logo on his wrist, there were still the familiar few sentences.

[Trial World: City of the Dead]

[Trial Mission: Survive for seven days]

[Current World Difficulty: lv1 ~ lv3]

[Please, prospective players, explore the mission on their own to obtain a higher rating]

"Let's remove the word 'prospective' first, and then think about becoming an official player," Xu Lun said.

Xu Lun never overburdens himself. As a dignified second-generation person with an cheat, once he becomes an official player and increases his mental strength, he will remember all the plots from his previous life. How could he not be able to handle this Paradise?

"What player?" Saeko Busujima and Shizuka Marikawa, wrapped in bath towels, walked out of the bathroom hand in hand, surrounded by mist.

Subconsciously looking at the two of them, Xu Lun couldn't help but ask, "Don't you have suitable clothes?"

Saeko Busujima's height is 174cm, and Shizuka Marikawa is even taller, reaching 176cm, far exceeding the average height of this country. Obviously, the bath towels are not long enough.

"I don't want to wear clothes after just taking a shower. It makes my body feel sticky," Shizuka Marikawa said with a red face, collapsing on the sofa, looking like she was dizzy from soaking inside.

Saeko Busujima pulled up Shizuka Marikawa's bath towel and said somewhat apologetically, "Xu Lun, hurry up and take a shower. Because there isn't enough hot water, we can only trouble you to use our bathwater."

"Okay."

Xu Lun walked into the bathroom. It was filled with the scent of lavender, and purple and black fabrics were still left here.

Xu Lun took off his clothes. This family bathtub was still a bit small for Xu Lun's body. The water level could only reach his chest, so there was no way to submerge his whole body.

Regarding the two women's bathwater, Xu Lun only felt that too much shower gel had been added, making it a bit too fragrant. He didn't have any other feelings.

Just as Xu Lun was about to fall asleep while soaking in the bathtub, the bathroom door opened.

"Marikawa Sensei, is there something you need?"

Xu Lun looked in surprise at the figure walking in. Could she be here to take away her clothes?

"I'm here to help Xu Lun take a shower," Shizuka Marikawa said with a red face, nonchalantly untying her bath towel and walking into the bathtub.

"Eh, I was thinking that Xu Lun's hands are still wrapped in bandages, so he probably can't wash himself. That's why I came to help."

Shizuka Marikawa straddled Xu Lun's lap, her voluptuous figure completely exposed in front of Xu Lun.

With restless twisting, her beautiful face also approached Xu Lun, and a burst of alcohol immediately hit him.

Although Xu Lun knew that Shizuka Marikawa was a natural airhead, he didn't expect her to reach this level. He didn't have the protagonist halo of this anime.

"No, I don't need it."

"Marikawa Sensei, you should be drunk."

"Eh, I only had one glass."

"Just call me Shizuka."

---

Xu Lun, with a dark face, wrapped Shizuka Marikawa in a bath towel and carried her out. Nothing strange happened between them. This girl simply intended to help him take a shower and even fell asleep in the bathtub in the end.

"Have you already washed up?" Saeko Busujima sat on the sofa, already changed into a black dress, her blue eyes full of smiles.

"Aren't you going to rest yet, Busujima?"

"You must already be very tired with so many things happening today."

Xu Lun remained expressionless. He originally didn't do anything to Shizuka Marikawa, so he naturally wouldn't feel guilty facing Saeko Busujima's gaze.

"I can't sleep. I plan to wait for Shizuka to sleep together," Saeko Busujima said with a somewhat depressed mood.

But she quickly regained her smile, saying with a hint of temptation, "Would Xu Lun like to come along?"

"No need. I still need to take care of my wounds."

Xu Lun didn't believe Saeko Busujima's temptation. If he really went, the accumulated favorability would probably drop by more than half.

"Need any help?" Saeko Busujima asked.

"Although I don't have Marikawa Sensei's skills, I can do some simple bandaging."

"I can do it myself. As for Busujima, please help send Marikawa Sensei back to her room to rest."

It wasn't that he was afraid of Saeko Busujima seeing his wound. She was a very smart girl with a sense of boundaries. Even if Xu Lun's figure, appearance, cultural experience all had obvious flaws and were inconsistent with this era, she didn't question Xu Lun.

Instead, they formed a tacit understanding, only Shizuka Marikawa still treated him like a student.

Saeko Busujima was very strong. Carrying the drunk Shizuka Marikawa upstairs didn't cause too much burden.

Xu Lun opened Marikawa Sensei's medicine box, searching for medicine.

Iodine, cotton swabs, and that strangely shaped ointment.

Xu Lun unwrapped the bandage. He had to say that although the ointment made by Marikawa Sensei was strangely shaped, the effect was really good. New flesh had already grown out of the wound inside.

Following Marikawa Sensei's steps at the time, he reapplied the medicine to the wound and then wrapped it with a bandage.

Xu Lun closed the medicine box, but saw a familiar logo on the box cover.

An umbrella-shaped logo composed of red and white.

Xu Lun silently reopened the medicine box. On a box of cold medicine, it was clearly written: This medicine was jointly developed by Umbrella Corporation.
