I have to get lucky right away.

Chapter 4 There must be something wrong with a land animal that can live for eight hundred years!
After a brief moment of excitement, Feng Xue controlled his emotions and began to check the belongings he had brought with him.

"You brought them all with you? Could it be that you are wearing them?" Feng Xue couldn't help but feel relieved after confirming that none of the supplies he had prepared were missing.

Although he had made sufficient preparations, he didn't actually think he could bring it over. After all, the "time travel cases" he had discovered so far were one in a vegetative state and one in a mutilated corpse. They both looked like the type of soul travel.

However, considering that the Yingzhou Island where he was located was more like the background of a Japanese light novel, and that in light novels with the theme of reincarnation into another world, even if the soul traveled through time, the person could still bring along things like sportswear, mobile phones, shopping bags, etc., he still made preparations.

And now it seems that his preparations were not in vain.

"There's no cell phone signal, and the FM radio function isn't responding, but it's not a waste even if it's used as a database." Feng Xue took out his cell phone and took a look at it, then took out a compass.

"The needle is stable and not spinning around. There shouldn't be a particularly strong magnetic field nearby. I just don't know if the north and south poles of this world are aligned with Earth's."

After completing various tests, Feng Xue took out a small drone that was not even as big as a palm and started operating it.

This drone is not a high-end product, it is about the level of two or three hundred yuan purchased online. The flight altitude is marked at around 120 meters, but you are lucky if it can fly 20 or 30 meters without crashing. The cruise control and anti-shake are even worse, and the only function such as tracking is okay. The only advantage is that the power consumption is low enough. Feng Xue bought six at once and stuffed them in his bag, which can be regarded as a reconnaissance skill.

It’s not that he, the “Mahjong Master” who swept through all the mahjong halls, couldn’t afford high-end goods. The main reason was that Feng Xue doubted whether his solar power banks could supply the power consumption of high-end machines.

With one click of the button, the black drone took off into the air with a buzzing sound, and Feng Xue finally confirmed his current environment.

"There don't seem to be any particularly conspicuous man-made buildings. The forest is quite lush, and there are obvious undulating hills in the distance... barren mountains?"

Feng Xue frowned and controlled the drone to circle around, but did not dare to fly too far. He just confirmed the direction of going down the mountain and started to let the drone enter the follow-up flight mode.

The drone in follow-up mode was hovering above his head, transmitting the surrounding scenery to the remote control screen in real time. The originally violently shaking camera slowly stabilized. At this time, Feng Xue also used this high-altitude perspective to activate his superpowers.

The thought of "wanting to see the remaining lifespan of the 'animal'" came to mind at this moment, and numbers began to appear on the screen.

His ability to see lifespan is actually very flexible. As long as he can "see" it, he can activate it, and he has the ability to identify according to his own wishes. For example, now, he is observing the cognition of "animals" to determine whether there are any potential dangers around him.

After all, there is a difference between "seeing" and "discovering".

While observing the numbers on the screen, Feng Xue took out his mobile phone and used the "Species Atlas Offline Edition" app to take photos of the surrounding leaves to identify them. Occasionally, he would also take photos of small animals with their remaining lifespans marked.

"Yellow locust trees, autumn maples, camphor trees... these are all tree species that exist in reality, and the animals are also relatively common. If they don't look exactly the same, they should be similar to those in Earth's parallel world, and most likely in temperate or subtropical regions. I just don't know if there are any supernatural powers here that can prolong life."

When Feng Xue thought of this, he couldn't help but glance at the [Good Luck] on his head. This golden finger can only lock one item at a time, which means that if you lock [Good Luck], you can't lock the lifespan. If this lock does not "become a sure thing", then it will be a disaster.

"So I still have to find something with other labels on its head to try." Feng Xue muttered to himself, but his eyes never left the drone's screen.

After walking for about ten minutes, Feng Xue couldn't help but feel out of breath. After more than ten days of staying up late and playing mahjong intensively, it was not possible to recover in just one day's rest, not to mention that he was carrying more than ten kilograms of luggage. Now that the excitement had passed, the fatigue of the body came up again.

"Really? If this is all a 'reincarnation in another world' stunt, what's the big deal about being abandoned in the wilderness? Even if they didn't go to the divine realm to pick out a mentally retarded goddess as their 'travel companion', at least send me to the downtown area! Aren't light novel protagonists supposed to have a passerby who explains their situation after traveling through time? Am I one of those people who falls into a maze or ancient ruins and gets picked up by an adventure team?"

After taking a few sips of water, Feng Xue adjusted his breathing while controlling the drone to fly around again. This mountain area was rich in forest resources and there didn't seem to be any obvious signs of logging, but judging from the drone's footage, this place should be very close to the foot of the mountain.

So either this world is vast and sparsely populated, or it doesn't rely much on firewood as fuel.

"Well, of course it could also be because this place is surrounded by mountains and I'm wearing thicker clothes." Feng Xue muttered in his heart, but his gaze suddenly fixed.

Perhaps due to his constant attention since crossing over, Feng Xue's sensitivity to numbers has reached a considerable level. The moment that long string of numbers flashed across the drone's camera, Feng Xue immediately reacted. "Tens, hundreds, thousands, millions, hundreds of thousands... Holy shit! What the hell can it possibly be? It can live for hundreds of years? A turtle? There's no river nearby!"

Feng Xue put the drone into hovering mode to confirm that he was indeed in the state of "only looking at the lifespan of animals", but he couldn't help feeling a little excited in his heart.

According to the knowledge he had accumulated from writing online articles before traveling through time, human lifespan is actually quite long in the animal kingdom. Even animals known for their longevity, such as turtles, only have a lifespan of a few decades in their natural environment. In fact, most of the animals on Earth that are proven to be long-lived are aquatic, but the place where the lifespan was captured by the drone was clearly a grassland.

Even if this thing was just born, its lifespan of several hundred years definitely does not make it a normal species!
At this moment, Feng Xue even felt a little fear in his heart, but he quickly suppressed it.

Turning on the over-the-shoulder view and confirming that the lock on the front of the lifespan above his head was securely locked, Feng Xue perked up, controlled the drone to close the distance, picked up his bag, and resolutely walked towards the eight-hundred-year lifespan.

then……

"White Snake?" Feng Xue couldn't help but frown as he looked at the white figure coiled in the grass on the screen, which could not be seen without careful observation.

Although the white snake is a symbol of longevity, in reality, the longest lifespan of a snake is only about fifty years. A small snake like the one-foot long one in front of you usually only lives for 2-5 years.

Therefore, there must be something strange about its longevity!
"Did it eat rare treasures? Or is it a monster that has been practicing for many years?" Feng Xue squatted not far from the snake, looking at the screen, and for a moment he didn't know what to do next.

The creature with an unusual lifespan has been found, but what next? Observe its behavior and see if you can find the herb that can prolong life?

Or should I just find a way to catch it, eat it and see if it can prolong my life?

Just when Feng Xue had many thoughts in his mind, the snake suddenly raised its head, stuck out its tongue slightly, and then turned into a white light and disappeared into the grass.

"What's going on?" Feng Xue immediately raised the drone and tried to find its trace through the lifespan, but soon he found that he didn't need to look for it, because his head appeared on the screen of the drone that was chasing the lifespan number.

She turned around and looked back, her pair of dark eyes met his gaze.

　Why are ants immune to fire, but the protagonist is transported through time by good luck...

　　Because the phenomenon of "travel through time due to car accidents" does exist in this world, but the probability is relatively low. It has been mentioned before that there have been cases of vegetative patients whose souls traveled through time in hospitals.

　　Here you can understand it if you replace time travel with other common situations.

　　For example, in a lottery, there are winning the grand prize, not winning, and small and medium prizes. The probability of not winning is the highest, small and medium prizes are medium, and the probability of winning the grand prize is the lowest.

　　The probability of surviving a full-speed 100-ton truck crash is like winning the jackpot, while the probability of traveling through time is like winning a small prize, and the probability of dying is like not winning at all.

　　After locking the lifespan, there is no possibility of not winning, so the protagonist travels through time and space in the process of winning the big prize and the small prize.

　　In fact, the protagonist himself was prepared to try several times, but he didn't expect to succeed in one go (the dice girl rolled a 6, which is why he played mahjong first.

　　Based on a lifespan of 60 days, as long as he doesn't die from the first collision, he might be taken away by the police for criticism and education, and psychological counseling. After going through this process, he definitely won't be able to try again in a short period of time. But it's different in nine years. Even if he fails once, he still has the opportunity to try again. Do you understand?
　　His golden finger can be understood as "locking the probability of occurrence", that is, turning occasional events into certain events. By locking the lifespan, one will definitely live to the number corresponding to the lifespan, but beyond that, one will enter the route with the highest probability.

　　In this world, ants that are burned to death cannot travel through time, so they will be directly immune to damage if they are burned by fire.
