387: Password (more)

Under the cover of night, various insects chirped and birds called outside, with the occasional roar of a wild beast.

Here, however, the firelight shone brightly, and a group of people were singing and dancing.

Of course, those keeping watch had eaten beforehand and continued their vigil.

Furthermore, there was a simple fence made of wood and vines.

Therefore, there was still some guarantee of safety.

Ellie was also assigned a large bowl, about the size of a noodle bowl in the north.

It was a large bowl of meat soup, filled to the brim with meat and wild vegetables, with a few leaves peeking out from underneath.

The herbs that increased Qi and blood were mixed in with the wild vegetables and could not be distinguished.

The people here did not have chopsticks, only spoons, so Ellie picked up a spoon and took a sip of the soup.

Hmm~ The taste was not as bad as she had imagined, even with the herbs added.

It not only had the rich flavor of meat soup but also a hint of spiciness, similar to the spiciness of pepper.

Furthermore, it also had a slightly sweet taste.

In short, the taste was not only not bad but actually quite "addictive."

Ellie began to eat; the meat was chewy, but not the kind of toughness that came from gristle.

After eating about half the bowl, Ellie felt her body starting to heat up, and she was sweating slightly.

She could feel the effects of the "food supplement," as her physical body was constantly being nourished.

One must know that Ellie now had a physical fitness of 1205 points, yet eating this still had a slight effect, which showed just how "generous" this world was regarding the physical body.

Because Ellie was an outsider, although the people of the Greenwood Tribe knew about her and had agreed to let her stay in the tribe, she was still a stranger, so after their initial acquaintance, they were not very warm.

Therefore, Ellie was sitting alone in a corner, eating her own meal.

Just then, Chen took the opportunity to walk over with his own bowl.

"Hmm?" Ellie felt someone approaching. She looked up and saw a young man walking over, wearing only Bermuda shorts made of animal hide and linen.

Like the others, his face, body, and any exposed areas were covered in those markings, including his arms and lower legs.

Ellie could also see that these markings seemed to be identical on everyone; the structure, form, style, and color distribution were all exactly the same.

In a sense, being able to achieve such "copy-paste" work was also a very impressive skill!

"Hello! Is there something you need?" Ellie took the initiative to ask Chen.

"Hello! My name is Chen." Chen sat down opposite Ellie.

Ellie continued to scoop up meat to eat, watching Chen as she did so, waiting for him to continue.

"Uh..." Chen didn't quite know how to start. He couldn't just open his mouth and ask if she was a Transmigrator, right?

Uh, it seemed that wasn't impossible?

Whether in this life or his previous one, Chen was a "socially anxious person" and basically didn't interact with people much, especially women.

Of course, online, he could just say: "Keyboard, come!"

But in reality, well, if he could avoid contact, he would; if he did make contact, he would avoid speaking; and if he had to speak, he would say as little as possible.

"Hmm?" Ellie tilted her head. Seeing the other person not speaking for a long time, she gave a puzzled "Hmm."

"Um, um..." Chen licked his greasy lips. "Odd change, even remain?"

"Huh?" Ellie looked at Chen in confusion.

"Imperial Court Jade Liquid Wine?"

"If the youth are strong, then...?"

Ellie looked at Chen with a completely confused expression regarding what he was saying.

But in the group, Chen Mu shouted excitedly:

"Odd change, even remain! Check the quadrant for the sign!"

"Imperial Court Jade Liquid Wine! One hundred and eighty a cup!"

"If the youth are strong, then the young girls will lean against the wall! Ah, phew, I mean, if the youth are strong, then the country is strong!"

Chen Mu was "typing away" on his keyboard in the group.

Yi Xin: "What's going on with you? What's wrong? You know these?"

Chen Mu: "Yeah, yeah! My world has these! Holy crap! Is this 'savage' a Transmigrator from my world?"

Lin Zifeng: "Whoa! A Transmigrator!"

Bai Mo: "Will he be discovered by the Glory Society?"

Ellie: "Uh~ He is a Transmigrator! Good grief~ He came over to ask me... does he think I'm a Transmigrator too?"

Yi Xin: "Maybe. After all, your attire and the knight's sword at your waist are so unconventional. As a Transmigrator, he naturally became suspicious."

Ellie: "Theoretically speaking, I am indeed a Transmigrator."

Chen looked at Ellie's confused expression and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, though he also felt a sense of relief.

Ellie was not a "fellow countryman."

"Um, do you know about Transmigrators?" Chen decided to just be direct; after all, she wasn't a fellow countryman.

"I know! Aren't you one?" Ellie said directly.

"!!!" Chen's pupils constricted. The first thing that came to his mind was Ellie's "abnormality." With this sentence out, plus the fact that Ellie had "voluntarily" come to this place...

Chen's mind immediately filled with thoughts of the Transmigrator Association, Time Administration Bureau, and the like.

"You! You! You! You wouldn't be from the Transmigrator Association, would you!" Chen said, looking at Ellie in shock.

"Whoa?! You even know about the Transmigrator Association!" This time, it was Ellie who looked at Chen in surprise.

The group was also somewhat surprised by Chen's words.

Yi Xin: "He actually knows about the Transmigrator Association? Could they have approached him? That's not right either! If they had approached him, he shouldn't be acting like this, right?"

Chen Mu: "I know about this. I have a lot of novels and such on my side that have written about these things; they're just fantasies..."

Chen Mu explained this to everyone.

Lin Zifeng: "That's interesting! You didn't expect these to be real, right!"

Chen Mu: "Definitely not! Who could have expected it! After all, these are all fantasies, and they haven't happened, so how could anyone believe them!

If I went to the street now and said I had joined a Cross-World Group, people would just treat me like a fool... but... if I showed real superpowers... I think I would most likely be captured and sliced up..."

Seeing everyone in the group chatting so enthusiastically, Ellie didn't join in, but instead looked at Chen in front of her.

Chen pursed his lips, and a resolute expression appeared on his face: "If you are here to capture me, then I will fight to the end!"

"Eh?" Ellie was stunned when she heard Chen's words: "Why would I capture you for no reason!"

"Hmm? Isn't it? Isn't that what the Transmigrator Association does? Like the Transmigrator Management Act..." Chen started rambling on, sounding very convincing, as if that was how it really was.

But Ellie, who had been in contact with the real Transmigrator Association, or rather, had seen the Transmigrator Association that Clarissa had experienced... it was actually very relaxed.

Seeing Chen, it was clear he was definitely legitimate; this world must have acknowledged him.

After all, in every aspect, Chen perfectly conformed to the rules of this world.
