Chen Yue Lian forced herself to open her heavy eyelids and asked weakly,
“Qin Si, why are you telling me so many secrets?”
“You are my only link to this world, and you are my wife.”
Qin Si said softly,
“If even a husband and wife can’t trust and be honest with each other, how much of a failure would that be?”
Chen Yue Lian did not reveal his secrets.
This was Qin Si’s way of repaying her, of trusting her.
Chen Yue Lian was moved, but there were no tears left in her eyes.
They had all flowed out last night in her excitement.
“Then I’ll tell you my secret too, to be fair. But you have to promise me that you won’t leave me after I tell you.”
“Go on.”
Chen Yue Lian bit her lip, hesitant, then finally made up her mind.
“Actually, four years ago when I got married, it was to be a widow.”
“Hmm?”
“At that time, Zhao Da Wu kept bothering me, and I didn’t want to marry anyone. Coincidentally, my ex-husband was paralyzed at the time, so I went to his house and said I wanted to marry him. It was all to avoid Zhao Da Wu’s harassment. I…”
“Alright, no need to say more.”
Chen Yue Lian looked wronged and said pitifully,
“Do you think I’m lowly? I know you must look down on me. I’m a bad woman.”
Qin Si pinched her chin and looked into her eyes.
“Did you take good care of your ex-husband after you married him?”
“Of course I did, I was very dedicated. He was paralyzed and his family didn’t want to take care of him, they saw him as a burden.”
“Did you try to take his property?”
Qin Si asked again.
Chen Yue Lian shook her head repeatedly.
“No, the house was a dilapidated one that the village didn’t want. I fixed it up bit by bit. His family abandoned him after we got married and didn’t give him any property.”
“Then what do you have to feel guilty about?”
Qin Si comforted her,
“As a wife, you have fulfilled your responsibility. You looked after him in life and death, and you didn’t do anything wrong. You are a good woman.”
“Really?”
“Really!”
“Woo…woohoo!”
The big stone that had been weighing down her heart for years was lifted.
Sunshine shone into the darkness.
Chen Yue Lian cried, fiercely venting her pent-up emotions.
Qin Si comforted her,
“Cry, it will be better if you let it out. When you’re tired of crying, get some sleep. I’ll take good care of you from now on.”
Chen Yue Lian, with a runny nose and tears, said,
“Woohoo, Qin Si, you are so kind. I’ll give you another chance, I know you didn’t eat enough.”
“Alright, alright, go to sleep!”
Seeing her forcing herself to be strong, Qin Si held her in his arms, speechless.
Soon, the soft sound of snoring came from his arms.
She was truly tired.
Qin Si carefully wiped away her tears and watched her for a while with adoration.
Then he got up and got dressed.
After working all night, he wasn’t tired physically, just mentally.
The body, after being modified by the genetic medicine.
Strong!
He made breakfast and saw that Chen Yue Lian was still asleep.
There was no paper or pen, so Qin Si took a piece of charcoal from the stove and left a message on the table:
【I’m going into the mountains, the food is in the pot. If it’s not enough, take some from the space. Don’t be hard on yourself.】
He slung his hunting rifle and bow and arrow on his back, closed the door, and went into the backyard, where he put the corpse of ‘Qin Si’ into the extradimensional space.
Qin Si entered the mountains again.
He searched along the way and first checked the traps he had set up.
His luck was good today, the traps had caught three wild chickens.
Three fragments were obtained.
One was red, and the other two were… black!
So far, there were three colors of fragments: red, white, and black.
Based on current information:
Red fragments represent certain skills, such as 【Shotgun Mastery】, 【Hunting Mastery】.
White fragments open up resources: 【Vegetables 1000 jin】, 【Clothing 10000 pieces】…
As for black fragments, the things they open are like things from another world, with some incomprehensible black tech attributes.
For example: 【Extradimensional Space】, 【Beginner Genetic Medicine】.
Qin Si first touched the two black fragments.
“Obtaining 【Beauty Pill One Box】 Fragment *1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly.”
“Use!”
After choosing to use it, a box of Beauty Pills appeared in the extradimensional space, and Qin Si’s mind was filled with information about the Beauty Pills.
【Beauty Pill】：
Oral, can eliminate most impurities and toxins from the body, improve and repair skin condition, beautify and whiten, keep the body in a youthful and energetic state for a long time.
Note: One box of ten, one person can only take one at most, more is useless.
This thing, it sounds like a health product?
Qin Si couldn’t help but think of the health products he had heard of before, boasting and advertising on TV.
Actually, they were useless.
The conscientious merchants used some nutritional supplements, which didn’t have any health benefits, but they wouldn’t kill you either.
Some unscrupulous merchants used some inferior products, not only did they cheat you out of your money, they also damaged your health.
They were truly wicked.
However, since the fragment introduced it this way, Qin Si naturally believed it was real.
He had already taken the genetic medicine yesterday, and the effect was much stronger than the Beauty Pills.
This Beauty Pill could be saved for his wife.
Chen Yue Lian would definitely be happy.
Qin Si looked at the other black fragment.
“Obtaining 【Spiritual Cigarettes Ten Packs】 Fragment *1 (1/1), fragment count is full, can be used directly.”
【Spiritual Cigarettes】：
Can only be obtained in fragments, excellent taste, harmless to the human body, after taking it can invigorate the spirit, eliminate fatigue, relax the mind.
Long-term use can nourish the spirit.
…
Ten packs, ten packs in a pack, ten cigarettes in a pack, that’s one thousand cigarettes.
He hadn’t slept all night last night, and he was a little tired.
Qin Si took out a pack, pulled out a cigarette, and lit it with a match. He took a puff.
“Whew~~”
With the smoke he exhaled, Qin Si felt a great sense of satisfaction, his tiredness gone.
And it was completely harmless to the body.
Good stuff!
Hmm, good, good.
Qin Si had never smoked before, but now he instantly fell in love with the feeling of mental satisfaction.
An indescribable pleasure.
Qin Si looked at the last red fragment.
“Obtaining 【Medical Skill Mastery】 Fragment *1 (1/3), fragment count is not full, cannot be used yet.”
“Need three fragments?”
Qin Si was speechless. He thought that the 【Beginner Genetic Medicine】 yesterday requiring two fragments was already the peak, but there were still higher levels?
Would there be things requiring four or five fragments later?
The difficulty was subtly increasing.
This was also why Qin Si had worked all night yesterday and still had to go hunting in the mountains today.
He wouldn’t slack off until he had accumulated enough wealth to live a rich life.
However, today’s opening was so smooth, three prey right away.
Just three fragments?
Watch me get them easily!
Qin Si, holding a cigarette, confidently went deeper into the mountains.
