Chapter 35: New Deals

My name is Case, yes...... An elementary school student who is about to enter junior high school.

But I remember my last life vividly, which also gave me a reputation as a child prodigy.

I originally thought that I, who had the memories of two lives, would make a big difference in this world, but this world is completely different from the world I imagined......

I thought it would be a normal night, but the gradually rising temperature woke me up from my sleep.

The air conditioner at home broke down inexplicably, and the fluorescent lights on the roof couldn't be turned on.

I wanted to drink water, and I felt like the temperature had evaporated the water from my body, but when I went into the kitchen, I found ......

Not a single drop of water could flow from the faucet, the refrigerator had long since lost power for unknown reasons, and everything containing water in it had also evaporated.

I panicked, and I hurried into my parents' room, but ...... Only my mother was left in the room, and my father was gone.

"Mom......" I struggled to endure the dryness in my throat and wanted to ask my mother where my father had gone.

But I learned from my mother's panicked gaze that she didn't know where my father was either.

"Yiyi, where is your father?" Sure enough, her mother's doubts overlapped with the confusion in her eyes.

Just when my mother and I were at a loss, my mother and I were wrapped in a burst of white light, and I couldn't help but close my eyes tightly.

When I opened my eyes again, my mother and I were next to a playground, where there was no unbearable heat, the wind and the sun were beautiful, and the weather was pleasant.

My mother and I looked around in panic and saw people huddled around in the same panic.

At this moment, a voice came: Welcome to the 'Chicken and Rabbit in the Same Cage' trial, and you can get rewards after passing the trial.

I just said what would happen if I succeeded, but I didn't say what would happen if I failed, but I didn't need to say that I could think that if I failed, I would only die.

At this moment, a hand appeared in mid-air out of thin air, and the mysterious voice sounded again: "The trial begins, please count the number of chickens and rabbits in order within the specified time." ”

Originally, when I first heard the description of this trial, I was a little relieved.

But when I was surrounded by a dense crowd of chickens and rabbits, I realized that this task was not simply to let us find out how many chickens and rabbits there were.

The big hand began to pick random people and answer, and I finally knew what the punishment would be if I failed.

People who fail will become chickens or rabbits......

As the big hand moved slowly, almost no one could answer the question, and the number of people who could have been about half a hundred gradually dropped to a single digit.

One girl broke down and cried, as if by some kind of magic, and the rest of the people, both men and women, wept together.

But no one can figure out the answer, because there are really too many chickens and rabbits.

It wasn't until it was just me, my mother, and the girl who was crying that I finally noticed something different, that is, these chickens and rabbits don't seem to attack people.

I tried to attack a rabbit next to me, but the rabbit disappeared after I touched the palm of my hand, leaving an empty space to come out.

"Quick! get rid of all the chickens and rabbits!" I shouted at my mother and the girl.

The girl seemed to see hope for help, so she stopped crying, and immediately got up and ran wildly, touching the chickens and rabbits around her as she ran.

The big hand began to move, and the big finger pointed at the mother, who was frightened and overwhelmed, but fortunately, the space was only the size of a playground.

With the continuous efforts of the three of us, the dense crowd of chickens and rabbits in the playground has almost disappeared, leaving only a few scattered.

The mother also noticed the situation around her, and after counting them carefully, she said, "Three rabbits, six chickens." ”

"That's right!" the mother collapsed to the ground in fright, and breathed a sigh of relief.

The big hand began to move in my direction, and finally pointed at me, and the chickens and rabbits in the field were all gone.

"Zero rabbits, zero chickens. ”

"Correct. ”

The three of us survived in the end, and the first reward for me was a heat-resistant physique.

My mother and I went back to where we had just disappeared, and looking at the still dark world around us, I no longer felt so hot.

But there is still a huge problem that plagues us, we have no water.

I realized that only by entering the kind of trial that I could gain the ability to survive, or I would die of heat, or I would die of thirst, or I would starve to death.

I was about to beckon my mother out with me, but I found her rummaging in the refrigerator, but she didn't throw anything out after each toss.

I walked over curiously, and the next scene frightened me, because the scene in front of me was so weird.

Anything that my mother's lips touched would turn into a white light and replenish her body, was this a new ability that my mother had acquired?

But my mother didn't seem to realize how scary this was, and turned to me and asked me if I had found any trace of my father.

I shook my head, saying I didn't know, but I guessed that my father must have died in the trial space.

I was so thirsty that I felt like I was on fire. I ran out like crazy, hoping to encounter the secret realm I had just encountered and gain new abilities.

At this moment, a voice that was different from the one I had just heard came into my ears:

"Buyers are detected to have strong demand, the transaction is about to begin, and buyers are asked to enter the live broadcast room in three minutes. ”

I stopped my frantic pace, I looked curiously at the virtual screen that appeared in front of me, and I suddenly realized, my gold finger has arrived?

Three minutes later, a handsome young gentleman appeared in front of me: "Hello dear, is there anything I can do to help you?"

"Water, I want water!" I said in a hoarse voice.

Rolf was stunned for a moment, and then said, "All you need is water?"

"Yes, but I don't have any items to trade right now, but I can sign a contract, I've just had a mutation here, and there are a lot of strange abilities. ”

Rolf was very interested when he heard this, so he said, "No problem, but the water can't be transported, I think you still need a space bag, I don't know if you want to?"

Rolf continued to tempt, "If you buy a space bag from me, I can fill it with water and give it to you." ”

After listening to it, I felt that happiness came too suddenly, and there was such a legendary thing as a space bag at the beginning?

I hurriedly signed the contract, but I didn't realize that it was written that it was two skills in exchange for a space bag.

I didn't find out until I signed it, but when I think about it, it's not a loss to exchange two skills for a space bag filled with water.
