Chapter 13 Deciphered Meida Civilization's Writing System
"When you're lonely,"
"sing,"
"it's undoubtedly the best thing in the world."
Caught in a burst of poetic inspiration, Lu Yuan sang a song, "Wandering on the road..."
"Are you leaving?"
"Fragile, proudly so."
"That used to be how I looked."
"Boiling with unease."
"Where are you going?"
"Mysterious, silent."
"Are you truly listening to the story?"
Lu Yuan suddenly found himself gasping for air, and Old Wolf stared at him, howling twice, "Why have you stopped singing?"
"Forgot the rest of the lyrics!" He laughed loudly, his voice booming.
There really was a lot of garbage in the supermarket. Apart from the garden outside, Lu Yuan had also found a huge pile of bottles and jars and even came across the seasoning he longed for—salt, about a boxful!
Even if salt gets damp, it only clumps together and doesn't affect its real use, so he naturally accepted the treasure left by the alien civilization with a very happy smile.
Also, Lu Yuan had finally found photos of the local people!
Their average individual height was around 1.5 meters, they walked upright, had short hair, wore clothes, and their heads were shaped somewhat like a corgi's. Their eyes were bright, and their ears stood tall, not ugly at all.
A family portrait of a dozen aliens, beaming with radiant smiles toward Lu Yuan.
But that was the only photo...
Life that had vanished, dispersed like smoke and clouds. Their names, their stories, all had become dust in history.
...
As if stimulated, Lu Yuan began to exercise frantically!
Every day he did 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, 100 squats, and ran 10 kilometers!
He was too lonely. Ever since he found a stable source of food, his thoughts had become even more complicated.
He had witnessed death and decay, becoming a tomb guardian of an alien civilization. A wolf could not soothe a lonely soul.
Only exercise!
Cultivation!
Become a superman!
But after a week, the Superman plan had to be put on hold due to knee pain.
[A boring human, who overexercised and caused a concealed injury to his knee.]
[Shape: 5.5]
[Qi: 4.6]
[Spirit: 5.2]
[Extraordinary Level: Level 1.]
[Evaluation: As mediocre as ever, stop trying to emulate Saitama, you really don't have the talent, find some other way!]
Lu Yuan was speechless.
Can't you say something encouraging when it's like this?
But it was true, without extraordinary ways of training, expecting to make even a slight improvement with ordinary physical training methods was already quite good.
"The path to the extraordinary is tough."
Just then, Lu Yuan suddenly heard a sharp howl, "Awooo!" He quickly stepped outside and, stupefied, witnessed something incredibly awesome.
Old Wolf had actually found a she-wolf and started mating.
"Who the hell is this? Your girlfriend?" Lu Yuan squatted down and peeked under the new wolf.
No testicles, really a she-wolf!
The new wolf seemed somewhat delicate and pretty, her head perfectly square, and her coat was of fine quality.
A young and beautiful wolf!
"Come here and let me pet you a bit!" Lu Yuan cried out weirdly.
The she-wolf rejected his call, appearing a bit wary.
Old-timer Old Wolf stepped forward, extending his crimson tongue, begging Lu Yuan for fish.
"You're really robbing the cradle, not ashamed?" Lu Yuan chuckled, casually throwing a cooked potato.
The she-wolf sniffed it, then raised her proud head with a look of disdain.
He glanced at Old Wolf again.
"Old thing, that free food place you talked about, is this it?"
Old Wolf howled miserably, blaming Lu Yuan for not giving face, and sneakily ate the potato.
It just loved eating potatoes, finding them super satisfying, as if they had a meaty taste.
Then it circled around the female wolf, licking the other's butt.
Lu Yuan watched Old Wolf's butt-licking behavior, feeling quite helpless. "You scoundrel, there are so many other things you could do; why act like a bootlicker... Is mating really that important to you?"
He could only toss over a small fish that he had just caught.
The female wolf looked at Lu Yuan with suspicion, then turned her head back to glance at Old Wolf before starting to eat with satisfaction.
Howl~ is this it?
It's not even enough to stick in the gaps between my teeth!
Lu Yuan pulled out another small fish.
He pulled out two more small fish!
He pulled out a super big fish!!
"Kneel before your lord!"
The female wolf froze, her mouth opening and closing, her eyes completely dumbfounded!
The furry tail began to waggle with a "gurgle."
It let out a "woof woof~" as gently as possible.
Lu Yuan felt goosebumps all over. Are the wolves here possessed? Or are they actually foxes?
Seizing the opportunity, Old Wolf rushed forward with a "wolf bluffs man" posture and pinned down the female wolf's butt.
That wicked and wild tongue stretched out wickedly long, a look of scheming triumph on its face.
Soon, their butts stuck together, commencing the grand harmony of life.
"You... you guys, what are you doing?!!"
Lu Yuan shouted loudly, feeling his eyes burning, nearly shedding hateful and bitter tears.
His soul was struck by ten thousand points of damage.
Why could such a blatant transaction of money occur in this forsaken place?!
Was it a distortion of the wolfish nature or a degeneration of morality?
And worst of all, it's using my money!
Police, take these two lowly maids away!
…
Lu Yuan silently returned to his room, wiping the corner of his eyes, filled with an ineffable sorrow.
There was a time when he was a handsome young man.
He had not only received love letters from female classmates but also from their parents.
Unfortunately, back then, he was addicted to playing video games.
He had no interest in dating (mainly because he met a lot of weirdos during blind dates).
If heaven gave me another chance... I would definitely... shall I go for a traditional craft right now?
"Awoo!!"
The female wolf seemed unable to bear it, moaning loudly outside.
That shrill voice pierced through one's eardrums and reached their thoughts.
Lu Yuan couldn't help but stick his head out, cursing at the sight of that vigorous old glory, "Starting today, you're only worthy of eating potatoes!!"
"Awoo!"
[Please note, the great Pioneer's Eye has decrypted the language system of the Meida Civilization.]
[You can now read the records of that civilization!]
A message suddenly transmitted into his mind, a mental fluctuation from the Pioneer's Eye.
Lu Yuan's heart skipped a beat, ignoring the wolves in the midst of their grand harmony, he dashed into the data center, reading through the archives made of acid-free paper.
Just a day before, the Pioneer's Eye only displayed: [Text archives made of acid-free paper, require some time to decrypt the language.]
But now, the contents of the text were actually visible!
[Central Archive C, performance list]
[Ke Dagou, late once this month, left early once... Performance B.]
[Ke Ergou, unwilling to work overtime, performance level decreased... Performance B.]
[Xin Qigou, spends 3 hours in the toilet every day, Performance C.]
