Chapter 125 The Tragic Story of Sun Daqing
Sun Daqing was dumbfounded. He was so scared that he almost peed his pants when he saw the axe blade stop less than two centimeters above his head.
Okay, actually he didn't even have any urine left.
He recognized Su Jin; he had witnessed Su Jin killing the three thugs.
"Great hero! Spare his life!"
Sun Daqing's entire body was trembling with fat. Although he had been starving for several days, several layers of loose skin and flesh still clung to his broad frame, making him look like a deflated bouncy castle.
He was truly wronged.
As a seasoned anime and manga enthusiast, before his transmigration, he was wearing headphones and intently playing a new obscure game on his computer.
Just when I was about to win over that arrogant twin-tailed young lady, everything went black, and when I opened my eyes again, I was on this godforsaken desert island.
Fortunately, the system did not abandon him and gave him a talent called "Big Stomach".
If he eats enough, he can convert food into energy and store it in his stomach, and enter a state of "apparent death" in extreme environments.
In this state, metabolism can be greatly reduced, and you don't even need to breathe if you bury yourself in the ground.
At first, he wasn't desperate. At least he could catch fish and eat them to fill his stomach and not feel hungry. He planned to slowly upgrade the island and live a leisurely farming life.
Then he saw many neighbors, and also a beautifully dressed older woman next door who looked like she worked at a karaoke bar.
However, the nightmare soon struck. The next day, the older woman was kidnapped by two burly men, and then a mournful scream came from the side.
His illusions were shattered; he never imagined that humanity could be so ugly in this world.
However, he was self-aware enough to know that the other party wouldn't contact him, so he ignored it.
Then the sea monster landed, and he buried himself in the ground, and all was well.
Then Su Jin arrived and did something righteous. At the time, he actually wanted a boat ticket, but nothing came of it.
Immediately afterwards, strange changes occurred on the island.
He didn't know what was going on, but there was definitely danger.
So, with tears in his eyes, he ate all the supplies, including several half-cooked fish, and then planted himself in the ground like a potato.
"I... I thought everything would be fine after hiding for a couple of days —"
Sun Daqing sniffled, wiping the snot that was about to drip into his mouth, and stammered, "Who knew those beasts would just stay on my grave and not leave! They surrounded me, and I didn't dare to come out at all."
"I... I had no other choice but to take off my underwear, which was my zodiac year's underwear, and hang it on a tree to ask for help—that was my last act of defiance—"
When he got to the heartbreaking part, Sun Daqing cried like a 200-pound child: "I'll just be buried like this, burning fat when I'm hungry, and drinking water from the soil when I'm thirsty—"
"Until I heard a loud bang just now, I thought the government had sent the army to rescue me, and I crawled out with all my might—"
"The results have barely surfaced, and you're already going to crack my skull open, Master Su—"
Listening to this guy's tearful accusations, Su Jin's eyes twitched, and his hand holding the axe stiffened.
Burying himself in the ground to play dead and hide from monsters, while also burning his own fat as fuel, this is truly something else.
He's practically a scoundrel.
"Alright, stop yelling."
Su Jin tucked the axe back into his waistband and looked the strange creature that had grown out of the ground up and down.
Although this guy looks frail, he does have a large frame. If that loose skin were filled with flesh, he would probably be a strong man.
However, it cannot be ruled out that he is just a fat guy who looks good but is actually weak, although his basic strength attribute should not be low.
"Wipe your face, don't look like a zombie, it's scary."
Su Jin disdainfully tossed him a rag.
Sun Daqing felt as if he had been granted a pardon. He hurriedly and clumsily wiped the mud, tears, and snot off his face, revealing a simple and honest face.
"Thank you, thank you so much for sparing my life, hero!"
He was almost kneeling on the ground, nearly kowtowing, because Su Jin was still holding an axe in his hand, and he was too scared to stand up.
Su Jin didn't make things difficult for Sun Daqing. He put away his axe, waved his hand, and said, "Stand up and talk."
Sun Daqing glanced at Su Jin, then stood up shakily.
He was so hungry he could barely move, and his adrenaline was completely depleted; even standing felt tiring.
Before Su Jin could speak, he knelt down once again.
"Great hero, please take me in! I'm willing to offer my entire fortune for a ship ticket—well, the economy class ticket you mentioned before!"
He racked his brains, muttering to himself, "Right? I remember the conditions were like this: hand over all your possessions, then work as a laborer on the ship, and you can get on board—food included?"
He looked up, staring blankly at Su Jin, clearly delirious with hunger.
Lin Xuan watched from the side, feeling a little disdain for Sun Daqing's attitude, but mostly sympathy and relief.
If she hadn't been more decisive back then, would she have ended up like this fat man, begging Su Jin to let her board the ship?
She was so hungry that she was willing to sell her body—although even if she did, Su Jin wouldn't be interested in her, since there were two more beautiful women around him.
Su Jin had no idea what Lin Xuan was thinking. Now, looking at Sun Daqing in front of him, a strange look appeared in his eyes.
Well, Sun Daqing did predict his own prediction.
He had just wanted to invite Sun Daqing onto the ship, even though the ticket he offered was still for economy class.
However, regarding his desire for Sun Daqing's two steel and wood pieces, and since it was Sun Daqing who invited him, he would offer an option of economy class plus.
In other words, if Sun Daqing performs well, he can be promoted to a business class member and given important responsibilities.
But now, everything is going too smoothly for him. He doesn't even have to make any demands; he just needs to fulfill Sun Daqing's condition of providing meals.
That's too easy to satisfy!
Su Jin was a little speechless, but still said, "No problem, but I need to explain a few things to you first. First, stand up."
Sun Daqing's face lit up with joy, and he hurriedly stood up, saying, "I can do anything, I'll do anything!"
Just as he was feeling uneasy, thinking that Su Jin was going to make some extreme demands, Su Jin said, "Let me tell you first, you are my crew member, not my slave. You don't need to be so humble in front of me."
"Secondly, I will protect your rights. Meals will definitely be provided so you can eat your fill, and I will also ensure your safety."
.
"But you will have to pay the price. As I said before, your assets belong to me and to the fleet. To be frank, I need two steel logs on your island now."
"In addition, as a crew member, you must obey my orders and make contributions. Simply put, I will assign you certain tasks, and you must complete them well and not be lazy."
As he spoke, he looked at Sun Daqing and asked earnestly, "Do you accept these?"
Sun Daqing stood there stunned. He hadn't expected Su Jin to be so serious with him, clearly explaining the rights and obligations.
Providing him with meals, ensuring his safety, and treating him like a human being—isn't that the mark of a truly virtuous person?!
"I accept it; otherwise, I'm not even human!"
Sun Daqing shouted loudly, almost crying with joy.
Su Jin simply smiled and extended a hand: "Then, welcome to the Ark."
