Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

Chapter 193 Ruan Feng decides to move

There are many ways to bridge the gap between people, and Fang Rui chose the one he could do...

The dozen or so dishes, personally cooked by Fu Rong, used ingredients sourced from the vegetable garden in Biyou Village. Their abundance of life-giving energy made Ruan Feng's mouth water...

The dozen or so jars of fruit wine emitted a distinctive aroma, tempting Ruan Feng's craving for wine...

Since achieving mastery of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief cultivation, he had not felt such urges for a long time, and his appetite had never been satisfied again...

And then, he saw hope...

Half an hour later...

Feeling quite full, Ruan Feng leaned against the rock, patting his round belly with both hands, his face full of satisfaction.

After the meal, the group became closer.

Ruan Feng asked the most crucial question: "Is the food outside really that good now?"

"No, the food you're eating is only available in Biyou Village right now; it's not found anywhere else..."

After a pause, Fang Rui added, "That's not quite right either. People in Longhu Mountain and some other factions can also get the same food, since they've already signed supply contracts..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Feng raised an eyebrow and asked, "Is Biyou Village a place that specializes in growing and selling vegetables?"

"……no."

After a few seconds of silence, Fang Rui replied.

"How did you make that connection? Why do you think Biyou Village is a place that specializes in growing and selling vegetables?"

"Of course it's because of what you said..."

"Is it……"

Fang Rui thought about it carefully for a while. If he didn't know the specific situation, just by making connections and guesses based on that sentence, he could make some connection with growing and selling vegetables.

"Let's not talk about that." Fang Rui waved his hand, not dwelling on the matter, and instead brought up the purpose of their visit, "We've come here today for two reasons. First, to tell you that someone is watching you and wants to take you back..."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Feng's expression became slightly more serious. He wasn't surprised that someone was watching him, or rather, he would have found it strange if no one was thinking about him.

but……

It takes some skill to find me.

'So what should I do? Should I go somewhere else? Otherwise, those who are eyeing the Six Treasuries Immortal Thief will keep coming, and it will be very troublesome to deal with them...'

'But...if I change places, where should I go?'

A look of bewilderment appeared in Ruan Feng's eyes. He had hidden in the snow mountain for two reasons: one was the side effects of the Six Treasures Immortal Thief, and the other was to avoid those strange people who were eyeing the Six Treasures Immortal Thief.

After all, there were quite a few of them, and he alone was not enough to withstand them.

"As for the second purpose, it is to invite you to settle down in Biyou Village, with food and lodging provided... What do you think?"

Not only Ruan Feng, but also Balun and Xia Liuqing's emotions were thrown into disarray.

"You're the one eyeing me, aren't you?" Ruan Feng said, somewhat speechless.

"How could that be... If it were me, I would tell you directly, without beating around the bush."

"Is it……"

Ruan Feng looked at Fang Rui with some suspicion for a while. The other party's expression was quite frank and very calm, as if to say that he was not lying.

Without dwelling on the matter further, Ruan Feng began to seriously consider Fang Rui's suggestion. If someone was indeed targeting him, leaving this place sooner rather than later and moving to another location was indeed a good idea, but...

"If I went to Biyou Village in my current identity, it would definitely cause trouble..."

Before Ruan Feng could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted, "I am not talented, but I am the deputy village chief of Biyou Village and will soon become one of the Ten Elders, the management group of the supernatural world. So there is no need to worry about trouble. After all, not many people dare to cause trouble."

"Moreover, the village chief of Biyou Village is the grandson of your sworn brother Ma Benzai, so you don't need to worry about him having any objections. On the contrary, he will be especially welcoming to your arrival."

"By the way, I am currently ranked number one in the superhuman society. Those who come looking for trouble may not be able to cause me any trouble."

"Finally, your current appearance is completely different from your former appearance; you're practically a different person. Changing your name should allow you to return to a normal life..."

Ruan Feng touched his cheek, the chubby feeling making him somewhat melancholic. He remembered how handsome he used to be, but now…

Wait a minute, what do I look like now?

I haven't looked in the mirror in so long, I don't even know what I look like anymore...

His thoughts wandered for a moment, but Ruan Feng quickly brought him back. Just as he was about to nod, he heard Fang Rui say...

"Besides, I'm skilled in both hands and can perform plastic surgery on you. The things you're worried about are minor."

"There's no need for that. I think I look great right now and I have no intention of getting a face transplant."

Ruan Feng casually declined, then immediately accepted Fang Rui's invitation: "I accept your invitation, but you must keep your promise, the three meals a day..."

"I guarantee you'll eat to your heart's content and feel completely satisfied!"

Before Ruan Feng could finish speaking, Fang Rui interrupted and added to what he had to say.

"Hmm." Ruan Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Xia Liuqing: "…………"

A few meals were enough to win you over...

Nguyen Phuong, you're really something!

It instantly lowered the status of the Thirty-Six Thieves, really...

Xia Liuqing slowly shook her head and sighed.

Baron stroked his chin, seriously considering how to settle down in Biyou Village.

Food and drinks that bring him satisfaction are very tempting to him.

After a while, Baron made his decision and asked, "What are the conditions for moving to Biyou Village?"

"There are some conditions, after all, we can't just let just anyone into the village."

"So... what do you think of me?"

"Of course, that's fine with you."

Baron withdrew his gaze with satisfaction, while Xia Liuqing cast a subtle glance at him. His intuition told him that Baron's reason for moving to Biyou Village might be... for the sake of daily meals.

Just as he was thinking this, Ruan Feng suddenly threw out a sentence that made his face darken instantly...

"By the way, who is that guy..."

Xia Liuqing: "…………" Damn! They didn't even recognize me!

“I am Xia Liuqing…” Xia Liuqing said with a dark face.

"...Oh~ it's Fourth Brother's lackey!"

Ruan Feng looked enlightened and his attitude became slightly warmer, after all, they were old acquaintances, "Long time no see! Looks like you've been doing well lately!"

If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all...

Xia Liuqing immediately retorted angrily, "Who told you... I'm his lackey!"

"Isn't that right? Then what are you doing following Fourth Brother around all day?"

Ruan Feng looked puzzled.

'You think I want to be with him?!'

Before Xia Liuqing could voice her thoughts, Fang Rui intervened, ending their conversation and starting a new topic.

“Since we’re here on Nathan Island, it would be a shame to go back without exploring it. What are some fun places to visit on Nathan Island, Nguyen Phong?”

Chapter 194 Return to the Village

"Don't call me Ruan Feng, call me Seventeen."

Ruan Feng first corrected Fang Rui's way of addressing him, and after a few seconds said, "As for what's fun to do on Nathan Island..."

"An island with scarce resources, more than half of its inhabitants are criminals from various countries. Barbarity and chaos are everywhere, but as for fun... there's nothing to do with it."

"It seems you have a very bad impression of this place."

Fang Rui's expression remained unchanged as he listened to Seventeen's description, responding calmly.

"...It is somewhat poor."

After a moment of silence, Seventeen slowly nodded.

Fang Rui nodded thoughtfully, then said, "In that case, let's split up. I'll wander around the island by myself for a while. If there's nothing else, you guys wait for me on the beach..."

With that, Fang Rui got up and left.

17. Baron and Xia Liuqing looked at each other for a while and decided to follow Fang Rui.

Seeing that the three had followed, Fang Rui changed his original plan and entrusted the tree planting to his clone...

A strand of jet-black hair drifted down in the wind and transformed into 'Fang Rui' after the group had walked away. He then took out a special magic weapon for planting trees—the Seven Treasures Tree Bark—and began planting a spiritual tree.

According to Seventeen's explanation, there are three factions on Nathan Island...

The northern part of the island is the "market," which is the main source of goods for the island. The islanders who gather here are more concerned with fair trade, but they are also timid and afraid of trouble.

The southern part of the island is a "paradise," where the residents are lawless, mostly vicious criminals who enjoy fighting each other.

The central part of the island is the residence of King Nathan, Nathan Guards, elders, and children who will become Nathan Guards, as well as others. The king and guards have the privilege of being able to teleport freely within the island.

In addition, many islanders choose to live in the forest.

Fang Rui had no interest in the three factions on Nathan Island, so he naturally had no intention of visiting their areas. Instead, he crossed the forest to reach the area where the sacred tree, the holy relic of Nathan Island, was located.

An ordinary tree stands on barren land, its tangled branches growing wildly, like wildly dancing tentacles, giving it a somewhat chaotic feel.

A hazy mist lingered around the withered tree, adding a touch of mystery to it.

Nathan Island is highly secretive and not something that ordinary people can know about. Therefore, Seventeen, Baron, and Xia Liuqing know very little about the Divine Tree. Only each generation of Nathan Kings knows the detailed information about the "Divine Tree".

As my fingertips brushed against the bark of the "divine tree," the rough texture came through, along with... a vast consciousness, seemingly asking: Are you willing to become king?

Fang Rui's response was... Let me take a closer look!

Whether the sacred tree was naturally formed is now impossible to verify.
