Chapter 7 Why do I feel that your art style is completely different from ours?
Resident Evil world!
Shen Yi squatted in front of the supermarket shelves, piled up all the supplies he could find, and counted them one by one.
Three boxes of instant noodles.
Ten large bottles of mineral water.
Fifty cans of various luncheon meats.
Fruit knives, several.
One lighter.
One flashlight, with half the battery still remaining.
One box of Band-Aids.
Shen Yi grinned as he looked at the pile of things in front of him.
Before he started cultivating, this amount of food would have been enough for him to eat for almost half a month. But now that he's started cultivating, he can't skimp on food at all; on the contrary, he needs a large supply of food. After all, the saying "the poor should be scholars, the rich should be warriors" isn't just a casual remark.
It was fortunate that the supermarket was in a remote location, so the other survivors didn't notice the items there; otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to find so many supplies.
If he eats sparingly, it should be enough to last him for two weeks.
Shen Yi sat down in a relatively clean corner of the supermarket, pulled out a fruit knife from behind his waist, and twirled it in his hand.
The blade reflected his face. His face, which should have been handsome with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and well-defined features, was covered in dust. A layer of bluish stubble appeared on his chin, and his eye sockets were slightly sunken due to lack of sleep. He looked nothing like a "handsome" person, but rather "miserable".
There's no way around it; if someone were suddenly thrown into the apocalypse, they wouldn't be heartless and fearful of being eaten by zombies even while sleeping.
"Cultivate for a week, then go out to find supplies."
Shen Yi made a plan for himself: to raise his internal strength to the next level within a week, so that he wouldn't panic when facing zombies.
Thinking about cultivation, he unconsciously opened the chat group.
This chat group suddenly appeared the day after he time-traveled. At the time, he was squatting in a corner of the supermarket eating a piece of instant noodles when a semi-transparent box suddenly popped out in front of him, startling him so much that he almost choked on the noodles.
When Shen Yi first learned about this chat group, he was incredibly excited. "My cheat code has finally arrived! When the time comes, won't I be able to have Alice on my left, Jill on my right, Claire behind me, and Ada Wong sitting on my lap?"
As it turned out, the chat group was not only completely useless, but everyone in the group, including Shen Yi, had their own miserable experiences.
Shen Yi in the world of Bleach is constantly pressured by the female Grim Reaper to finish his manuscript; Shen Yi in the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes is being targeted by Li Mochou; and Shen Yi in the world of Mechanical Era is even more seriously ill with a demonic pattern disease and is on the verge of death.
Only Shen Yi from the Harry Potter world is alright; he opened a pub on Charing Cross Road in London—unfortunately, he's a Muggle.
Fortunately, this chat group has a feature that can be considered a cheat code: shared memories.
This was all thanks to Shen Yi from the Legend of the Condor Heroes world, who contributed all his memories of cultivating internal energy for over a decade; otherwise, everyone would have been left helpless.
Using these memories, Shen Yi cultivated a bit of internal energy in just three days.
Although he was insignificant compared to Shen Yi from the world of The Return of the Condor Heroes, it was a world-shaking change for him, who was just an ordinary person three days ago.
[Bleach]: Damn, I don't even know what day it is today. First, Yadomaru Lisa came to my door asking for books, then I found Hisa at the door, and finally, Ōmaeda Kiyo asked me to write a novel for women.
What an enviable life!
Looking at the messages popping up in the chat group, Shen Yi felt a little jealous. Why wasn't it him who transmigrated to the world of Death God?
I'm also Shen Yi!
[Resident Evil]: Then write it! Write "Campus Storm" and describe Mr. Bai's hard work and eloquence in the workplace.
Shen Yi's group: ...
[Grim Reaper]: Don't do anything lewd in the chat group. What if the chat group gets banned?
Actually, I've already written it, and I even changed Teacher Bai's name to her prototype, Teacher Liu... but this kind of thing is obviously not suitable for my friends to know.
[The Legend of the Condor Heroes]: By the way, is the time when members join this chat group random? I wonder if Shen Yi, who has broken through the void, is among them. If he were to cross over into my world, maybe he could take me flying.
[Harry Potter]: That's hard to say. Maybe he'll kill you like in "Wanted in the Universe"—and steal your wife along the way. By the way, how old is Little Dragon Girl now?
【Mechanical Era】: I'm more inclined to think of us as one, since we were originally one. Maybe Shen Yi's true form is actually this chat group, and we are just his derivatives.
After all, they all live in the world of movies and TV shows. In other words, the original Shen Yi was in a higher dimension than them. After he died, "the whale fell and all things were born," giving rise to a group of Shen Yis.
[Resident Evil]: Hmm...that seems to make sense. Wait, why do I feel like your art style is completely different from ours?
The other Shen Yis were either chatting idly or doing lewd things, some even asking how old Xiaolongnu was, but you actually started asking academic questions.
【Automata】: What can I do? How can I save myself if I don't study?
Although he has a way to save himself, he naturally needs a lot of knowledge to completely eradicate the Demon Pattern Disease. Besides, he is not actually very safe at the lunar base, and N2 may be spying on him in the dark.
Fortunately, as the only human on Earth, the machine life form N2, the network god, only observes Shen Yi and is certainly unwilling to kill him, since it needs to explore the meaning of its own existence through humans.
Reminded by this, Shen Yi from the Resident Evil world realized that he had also become somewhat less vigilant because of the chat group. He stopped looking at the chat group messages, closed the group interface, and began cultivating.
Internal energy circulation.
The optimized version of "Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian" is much smoother than the original. A warm feeling rises from the dantian and flows slowly along the meridians, like a docile little snake that doesn't need to be driven and knows where to go on its own.
One cycle, two cycles, three cycles.
Shen Yi calmed down and focused all his attention on circulating his internal energy. With the help of Shen Yi's cultivation memories from the Legend of the Condor Heroes world, the cultivation that should have been very difficult for beginners became exceptionally easy.
Time passed by, minute by minute. The sky outside grew completely dark, and then gradually brightened again.
He didn't know how long he had been cultivating until a strong feeling of hunger pulled Shen Yi out of his cultivation state.
Guh~~
His stomach roared in protest. Shen Yi opened his eyes, feeling as if a fire was burning inside him. He glanced out the window and realized it was already daylight.
In other words, he cultivated for an entire night.
Wow—I wish I had been this diligent when I took the college entrance exam!
However, it must be said that cultivation is indeed a kind of enjoyment.
He patted his stomach, then went to the makeshift stove he had built. He stuffed in the dry branches he had collected from the green belt, lit it with a lighter, and opened a packet of instant noodles, eating it bite by bite with mineral water.
After the water boiled, he opened a can of luncheon meat and poured it all into the water, then added four packets of instant noodles in one go. He closed the lid and waited a while before turning off the heat and eating.
Only after eating and drinking to your heart's content and having something in your stomach will the feeling of hunger subside.
Keep practicing!
The pressure to survive made Shen Yi work exceptionally hard. The only problem was that, as he continued his cultivation, he indeed ran out of food.
