Chapter 3: Laura

New book, begging to smash the recommendation vote. Now I'm a rookie author...... Well, really, it's not easy for newcomers to hit the list, so I ask for your support.

――――――――――

In the afternoon.

Because the rain has changed from the beginning to the current momentum, the well-fed eagle did not leave, but stood by Ye Ming's side, quietly combing his somewhat wet feathers with his mouth.

Ye Ming watched the movements of this bird of prey a little stunned, his eyes were scattered, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

In fact, he really didn't know what to do at the moment.

There was a stumbling footstep in his ears, which made the young man's heart startle slightly.

Subconsciously holding the improvised weapon beside him, Ye Ming's vigilant gaze looked in the direction where the voice came from.

A figure came into his sight.

Sluggish movements, muddy face.

If he hadn't noticed the other party's frowning eyebrows, Ye Ming would have even thought that he had encountered something like a zombie.

But come to think of it, zombies shouldn't still have this kind of painful look.

"You ......" Holding the weapon in his hand, Ye Ming looked at the other party suspiciously.

There seemed to be a glimmer of light in those eyes.

Like a traveler who saw a light in the dark, the female figure looked at the young man excitedly and opened her mouth: "Mr. Ye!" ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Mr. Ye?

This seems to be calling itself, right?

Ye Ming wasn't very sure, but the next moment, an inexplicable piece of information flowed into his mind, and in a moment, he understood a lot.

"Main quest unlocked - Escape."

"Get out of this isolated island and do whatever you can think of."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

The mechanical voice in his head told Ye Ming the ultimate purpose.

Frowning slightly, he raised his head, looked at the figure over there, hesitated, and said tentatively: "Lara? ”

"Yes, it's me." The girl on the other side almost didn't cry.

She looked at Ye Ming, her face full of excitement.

"......" Ye Ming's face was a little strange.

Although he knows some infinite flow of urine, he still has a slight sense of unreality when he really sees this kind of virtual character appear in front of his eyes.

Lara Crawford, the heroine of the famous single-player game series "Tomb Raider", is a super tough woman with a series of titles such as "Daughter of the God of War" and "Son of Bei Ye".

As a homestay, Ye Ming naturally has played many games, and he can be said to be very familiar with the woman in front of him.

But it's because it's familiar, so it feels even stranger, right?

Shaking his head, putting aside those thoughts, the young man frowned, looked at the other party's action of covering his abdomen, and asked with some concern: "It's good that you're okay, Laura, but you ......"

As he spoke, Ye Ming remembered the first-aid bandage he had gotten earlier, and hurriedly took it out.

"Mr. Ye, I'm so scared...... I was so scared, when I woke up, I was hanging in a strange place, where there were many corpses, and there were people...... They're chasing me......"

Laura's voice with a little crying made Ye Ming, who walked to him, slightly stunned.

Laura like this......

In his impression, Laura is a tough and unwanted, almost a superwoman who can do anything.

So seeing the other party's weak appearance at this moment, Ye Ming naturally felt a little weird.

But thinking of the memory that suddenly appeared in his mind, Ye Ming was relieved again.

Although it is only a fragmentary memory of fragments, the teenager is able to distinguish his own environment from it.

Tomb Raider 9, also known as New Tomb Raider, is a new installment in the Tomb Raider series released in 2013.

Different from other generations of adventures, this generation of Laura is a thorough, pink rookie adventurer.

At the age of 21, the first adventure in the true sense of the word.

Although Tomb Raider 9 will be released later, it tells the story of the heroine from scratch, step by step from a newcomer to the superwoman's experience, which can be said to be a prequel work of the whole series.

Other words...... In front of Ye Ming, Laura at this moment is actually no different from other girls......

Thinking of this, the boy was relieved.

Handing the bandage to the other party, Ye Ming glanced at the rain curtain outside.

It's a little smaller than it was just now.

"Laura, take a break, I'll help you find something to eat."

"Thank you...... Thank you. The girl looked at him gratefully.

Ye Ming waved his hand, smiled, and didn't say anything.

Since the main god set his identity as the other party's companion, Ye Ming naturally had to play this role well.

Don't look at the girl over there looking weak at the moment.

After all, the other party is a superwoman, and she is born with extraordinary talents, even if she is still very immature, but as long as she recovers, it is estimated that she will soon be able to burst out with unimaginable amazing potential.

After all, she's the only protagonist of this world, isn't she?

Ye Ming felt that if he wanted to complete the task of the main god and leave here safely, he would definitely have to rely on Laura over there.

Therefore, while the other party is still very 'weak', it is absolutely no harm for him to increase his favorability with Laura and have a good relationship.

And that's what teenagers do best.

……

"I'm going to ask you again."

Back in the woods, Ye Ming touched the bird of prey on his shoulder and spoke softly.

The eagle flapped its wings twice, nodded very humanely, and then jumped to its feet and soared into the air.

That talent beyond ordinary people, in some things, did bring him great convenience.

In the role setting of the main god, his existence is also a 'diplomat' or something, and he belongs to the character of the team who speaks to the outside world, and has an important role that cannot be ignored.

In fact, with Ye Ming's talent, this kind of position couldn't be easier for him.

Most obviously, even with the help of the main god, he has a setting that is only a temporary member who joins before the adventure, but he can use this status to make everyone including Laura, the protagonist, trust him in just a few days.

This is not the help of the Lord God, but a gift that truly belongs to Him.

Sighing, Ye Ming couldn't help but smile slightly bitterly.

He really didn't expect that this talent, which had always caused him trouble for the past ten years, would be so useful one day.

Maybe...... Is it really the same as the Lord God said, here, is it suitable for a 'monster' like him to survive?

A hint of gloom flashed in his eyes, and Ye Ming quickly threw away this dangerous thought.

With a click, a dead rabbit fell in front of him.

The sound of an eagle's cry sounded in the sky above.

Ye Ming raised his head, and before he could thank him, his heart tightened suddenly.

Dangerous!

Reading the meaning of the bird in the sky, the boy didn't think about it, and pounced to the side without hesitation.

Almost instantly, a strong wind passed through his ears.

It's a bit like the sound of a dog barking, but it's distinctly different.

Rolling to the side, Ye Ming raised his head in fear, and his gaze happened to meet a pair of dark wolf pupils.

β€œShit!”

At this time, how could Ye Ming not understand what he had encountered.

In this place, there are even wolves!

Such a dangerous beast.

Clenching the improvised weapon in his hand, Ye Ming waved it in front of him indiscriminately, his eyes scanning the surroundings, trying to find a tree to climb on.

If memory serves, wolves can't climb trees, right?

As soon as such a thought flashed, Ye Ming felt a sharp pain in his back.

Seem...... Got attacked by something?

Seeing his body pounce towards the wolf in front of him under the effect of the impact, Ye Ming's heart couldn't help but sink.

The eagle's cry sounded.

With a whirlwind, the eagle hovering in the sky fell, and at the last moment, pierced its sharp claws into the wolf's neck.

"Woo~~" With a mournful roar, the wild wolf that opened its mouth and waited for Ye Ming to fall, under this impact, flew out tragically.

Blood splattered, and the other party was obviously not lightly injured.

"Shhhh

At this time, Ye Ming also fell to the ground.

It's not a face-to-face approach, but it's obviously not a pleasant experience either.

"Fuck your sister!"

The improvised weapon in his hand slashed at the neck of another wolf, Ye Ming scolded fiercely, and kicked the other party out.

Thanks to the semi-digital body, if it was him before, he would not have been relieved so easily in this severe pain.
