Chapter 30
Return Settlement, New World Crossing

The seventh day of the zombie apocalypse, the mission to survive for seven days was completed. Lu Wen sent all the women into his personal space and directly loaded the return bar, with no intention of staying any longer.

After Lu Wen left, the few Japanese cross-dimensional travelers finally managed to establish a rudimentary base, but they dared not venture into areas with many zombies to search for survivors.

These Japanese cross-dimensional travelers had already stayed away from densely populated areas before the zombie crisis broke out. They hadn't entered any cities for days.

Only after setting up their base did they discuss going into the city to find survivors and valuable items.

Lu Wen returned to his home in the main world and checked the items on his person.

Everything in the personal space was still there, without any loss.

Previously, he had deliberately not put anything into the personal space. He only brought things back to the main world if he could carry them.

Some things he touched were too heavy for him to carry, and they weren't brought back.

“It seems that only things I can carry can be brought across worlds, and items in storage equipment are also not affected,” Lu Wen mused after observing.

Then he checked the rewards for completing the missions.

The first mission, survive for seven days, was completed and rewarded him with a ticket to the next world.

The second mission, participate in the main plotline. Although Lu Wen didn't participate in the main plotline, he followed the original plot's route, and he had the main characters from the original plot by his side.

He deeply participated in and disrupted the plot.

The third mission, establish a survivor base.

Lu Wen didn't build a survivor base, but he directly took control of the Takajo family base by force. In the following days, he cleared the surrounding zombies and gathered nearby survivors.

He also gained a reward for this mission.

Combined, missions two and three gave Lu Wen a Primal Silver Coin.

One Primal Silver Coin is equivalent to one hundred Primal Copper Coins.

One Primal Copper Coin can be used to cultivate a skill for one day.

Primal coins can also be used to identify equipment and skills, making them universally applicable across the multiverse.

Lu Wen's current abilities and skills were universally applicable in most worlds.

But after thinking about it, he decided to cautiously spend his Primal Coin to identify his Energy Bar ability.

The Energy Bar was Lu Wen's core ability, and it could simultaneously increase his "Spirit, Qi, and Mind" by three.

“With this, even if I go to some worlds with special rules, I don't have to worry about my abilities being suppressed,” Lu Wen thought to himself.

Worlds with abnormal rules wouldn't make transcendent abilities disappear, but they would suppress abilities that are not in line with their rules, making them weaker.

For example, in the last world, there was no transcendent energy in the environment, and ordinary transcendent individuals could not recover their energy. Once their transcendent energy was depleted, they became ordinary people.

After identifying his Energy Bar ability, Lu Wen still had a bit of Primal Coin left. It wasn't enough to identify the Emperor's Banner.

Lu Wen asked the World Will to take action, disinfecting the items in his personal space and the girls, including Yagi Yumi.

He had returned through the World Will, so he didn't worry about the virus, but the existence in his personal space had been smuggled back, so he still needed to take protective measures.

The zombie virus is no joke. In ordinary and low-level transcendent worlds, it can easily trigger a world-ending disaster.

If the world will discovers that it was brought by Lu Wen, even if he has the backing of the main world will, he would inevitably be labeled as a "world destroyer."

Once that label is given, it would truly make him universally hated, with a world will favorability rating of negative fifty.

Not wanting to stay in the main world for long, Lu Wen called his parents to ask them to come home. Then, he took out ten kilograms of gold and asked his parents to sell it carefully, then return to their hometown to rebuild their old house.

He had collected a lot of gold in his personal space, but he didn't give his parents too much.

During this time, many people in the main world should have brought back some gold, but the price of gold hadn't decreased, but instead had risen considerably.

Gold is a general equivalent in most multiverses. This alone is enough to make the price of gold rise.

Not to mention, in some high-level transcendent worlds, gold and silver are also transcendent materials, which further elevates their status.

Lu Wen didn't pay much attention. After arranging things in the main world, he had only been back for an hour before he decided to cross again.

Over the past two weeks, Lu Wen had gained a strength of two to three hundred kilograms with a single arm swing, and he could lift up to one thousand kilograms.

His Energy Bar had grown through cultivation, equivalent to about twenty degrees of electricity.

He had also gained various abilities, making him nearly invincible in ancient worlds, but he still needed to be careful in modern and contemporary worlds.

Not to mention artillery shells, Lu Wen couldn't even withstand a rifle bullet now.

As his mind raced, he had already crossed into the new mission world.

Looking around, he was in an ordinary house, but looking out the window, he saw buildings with a distinct ethnic minority style.

He checked his identity and memory information.

In this world, Lu Wen was a martial artist who lived in seclusion in a Miao village in Xiangxi.

The land of China is now filled with warlords, constantly engaged in small-scale battles, although large-scale wars are difficult to start.

Battles result in casualties and warlords need to maintain their forces, so they recruit soldiers everywhere.

Those who didn't want to be involved in the warlord's wars went into seclusion and hid in the Miao village.

He also received some interpersonal relationship and environmental information.

Lu Wen quickly absorbed it all.

“There's no information about which fictional world this is, only that it's the Warlord era of the Republic of China. I'll go out and ask around about local legends,” Lu Wen thought, walking out of the house to find an elderly Miao villager to ask for stories.

As he walked through the Miao village, people recognized him and knew that he was a martial artist with good skills. Most of them nodded in friendly greeting.

After wandering around for a while, Lu Wen didn't find a suitable target. The people in the Miao village were coming and going, busy with their lives.

As he walked, Lu Wen smelled the scent of herbs, and he followed the scent to a small courtyard, where a thin man was processing herbs under the sun.

Then he took the herbs to the chicken coop and poured them into a stone trough.

Seeing this, Lu Wen thought: “Using herbs to raise chickens. Is he raising some kind of spirit beast ingredients? This scene feels familiar.”

In the chicken coop, there was a powerful rooster. Although it was in a cramped coop, it walked around, looking around as if inspecting its territory.

The herbalist saw Lu Wen outside the yard. He looked at him for a moment, thinking, and then remembered who he was: “You’re that martial artist who came to the Miao village a while ago? I heard that you have good skills, you can fight wild beasts with your bare hands.”

Lu Wen said: “Ordinary wild beasts can be easily killed with some caution. For tigers and bears, I need to look for opportunities, otherwise I can easily get hurt.”

This was bare-handed combat, but Lu Wen was actually a mage.

The herbalist, seeing Lu Wen's calm and confident expression, couldn't help but believe that he could really fight wild beasts with his bare hands, and his expression immediately became more respectful.
