Chapter 220: The Unlucky Kid

"...Thanks."

Shi Yu lowered his head, whispered his thanks, and got up to leave. But he had just been badly beaten, and although Lin Yun had given him a rose to treat his external injuries, he still had little strength and fell back down as soon as he stood.

Miss Rabbit quickly helped him up. "Why don’t you rest at my place for a while? You can leave later."

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, but in the end he only pursed his lips. He was exhausted, and he was afraid that he would run into those people again if he went out.

"How did you run into them? You were so careless." Miss Rabbit got up again to pour some water.

Shi Yu looked confused. He did not know either.

After using the racial perfume yesterday, he had stayed at a native’s home here. But he had run out of perfume yesterday and had no points left. He had been thinking of running away before the natives discovered his identity. He found a place with water and tried rinsing the bottle to see whether he could dilute the remaining perfume and make it usable. Before he could even try, someone grabbed him by the collar from behind and dragged him away. By the time he realized what was happening, he had already been dragged onto the street. Then a fist the size of a sandbag came crashing down. There were too many opponents, and he had been at a disadvantage from the start, so he had no chance to fight back and could only lie on the ground and be beaten.

While being beaten, Shi Yu had not understood why. He had been hiding in a corner, yet they had still found him. And weren’t they supposed to hate outsiders? Why had this rabbit brought him home? Weren’t they afraid that the people who had hit him would cause them trouble?

Shi Yu’s voice was halting, but Lin Yun and the others got the gist of it.

"The giant rat tribe hates humans the most and will even kill them. You were just lucky this time. You only got a beating." Miss Rabbit sighed helplessly. "You should be more careful when you’re out. By the way, are you a kid who just came from the Eastern Continent after coming of age? Didn’t your parents tell you to stay away from giant rats, crocodiles, and hyenas once you left the Eastern Continent?"

Shi Yu stared at Miss Rabbit with clear eyes. Lin Yun quickly gave him a wink. Shi Yu noticed it and understood what she meant.

"I did hear that... but I didn’t expect to be caught by them. I was being very careful..."

With that, he lowered his head again, afraid that Miss Rabbit would see through him.

"Oh well, just be more careful next time. The giant rats don’t usually come to the roundabout. They only came this time because they were delivering something to the official housing office. Who would have thought you’d run into them?"

Miss Rabbit did not ask any more questions. She only thought that the little one was simply too unlucky.

Seeing that Miss Rabbit did not press the matter, Lin Yun breathed a sigh of relief. She had been afraid that Shi Yu might say something wrong and expose himself.

After resting for a while, Shi Yu regained some strength and decided to leave. Miss Rabbit thought for a moment, then went to the yard and pulled out a lot of carrots. "Here you go. Be careful next time! Oh, and I forgot to tell you earlier. It was actually Miss Lu You who saved you. I just helped her bring you to my house."

Lin Yun had not said much, and Miss Rabbit had almost forgotten. Lin Yun blinked. She had not wanted to take the credit in the first place. This unlucky kid really did look like he had just come of age. Since they were both Chinese, she had thought she could lend a hand.

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu was stunned. He had wondered why Miss Rabbit would help him. It turned out it was because of Lin Yun.

"Thank you, Miss Deer! And thank you, Miss Rabbit, for helping me too." Shi Yu thanked them sincerely.

He knew in his heart that Lu You was probably not her real name. The other party was using racial perfume, and people here liked to name themselves with characters of their own race, so her current form should be that of a deer!

Lin Yun waved her hand. "It’s okay, don’t worry about it. Next time, just cover yourself up more. You can also use perfume to mask your scent. Maybe that will help."

Shi Yu understood what she meant and gave a wry smile. He wanted to, but he did not have enough points to buy racial perfume. Before being sent to this world, in order to save his sister, all his points had been taken by Wang Zuqiang and his gang, and he did not have many supplies left. What was most disheartening was that he had also seen Wang Zuqiang and the others speaking in the special channel. They were in the same special world as him. He was worried that if they found out he was here, they would try to kill him, since this was not a transfer station where people could not kill at will. Back at the transfer station, because they could not kill him, they had only threatened him with his sister in order to take his points. But here...

Wait a minute. Shi Yu suddenly thought of something. If they would try to kill him here, why couldn’t he kill them here too?

He pushed those thoughts aside and said, "I understand. I will. Thank you."

After Shi Yu left, Miss Rabbit leaned close to Lin Yun and asked, "Lu You, when do you want to go to Monster City?"

"Anytime is fine. When are you free?"

"How about tomorrow? We can go to Monster City tomorrow morning, explore more, and have lunch there too!" Miss Rabbit thought for a moment and made the suggestion.

Lin Yun nodded. "Okay, then I’ll come find you tomorrow morning!"

"Okay, it’s settled!"

After agreeing, Lin Yun left Miss Rabbit’s house. She strolled around the roundabout and spent two gold coins on some local trinkets to decorate her house. She had some in her storage, but a few of them were not suitable for this world. Although it was unlikely that anyone would visit her house, she could take precautions just in case.

She hopped onto the cat-shaped car and wobbled away from the roundabout. Not long after, she ran into Shi Yu, who had been waiting on the road.

Lin Yun was stunned, clearly not expecting to see him here. She looked around. They were already quite far from the roundabout, surrounded by forest. What was this kid doing here?

"Miss Lu You." Shi Yu saw Lin Yun riding the cat and glanced at the big cat with some envy. She must be really amazing to have a mount like that.

"What are you doing here? Didn’t you already leave?" Lin Yun patted Sang Biao to make him stop.

Shi Yu hesitated for a moment, then said, "I... I have a one-time precognition card that told me you would pass by here. I didn’t mean anything by it. It’s just that I couldn’t say this directly in front of Miss Rabbit. Thank you for saving me. I know you did it because we are both Chinese, but I still want to thank you again."
