Chapter 1: Chapter 1: Dou Qi Continent
"Di di di … …"
"Di di di … …"
Yan Aoyama was woken up by the sound of his alarm, but when he woke up, he felt something was wrong. Pain, his whole body was in extreme pain, especially his left shoulder. Even the slightest movement would cause a bone-piercing pain.
"Electronic Artificial Intelligence Dawn, working for you … …"
While Yan Qingshan was in a daze, he heard a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar electronic sound in his mind. Before he could wake up, he fell asleep once again. His mind was in a state of turmoil as countless streams of information collided and intertwined.
"Dou Qi … … Northwest Continent … … Jia Ma Empire … … Magical Beast Mountain Range … … Aoyama Town … … Wanyao Zhai … … Herb Gathering Team … … Mercenary Group … … Hiss … …"
When Yan Aoyama woke up again, he was still in a daze. He barely managed to sit up with his back against the wall. The movement just now made him grit his teeth and scream, the pain in his left shoulder was unbearable.
Countless fragments of memories surged in his mind as he recalled the dangerous experience. He subconsciously reached out to touch his left shoulder near his neck. Even though it was already bandaged, he could still faintly feel the terrifying wound through the white gauze.
He opened his eyes and looked around. The unfamiliar environment, the unfamiliar place, and the familiar yet strange memories in his mind clearly told him that he had crossed over to a world that should belong in a novel — — Dou Qi Continent.
This was a world of Dou Qi. There was no fancy magic, only Dou Qi at its peak.
Yan Aoyama, Northwest Continent Jia Ma Empire, Aoyama Town, Wanyao Zhai, a medical apprentice in the Magical Beast Mountain Range, 5th Duan Qi.
This was his current identity. He wasn't the descendant of a large or small family. He didn't have any extraordinary ancestral bloodline. He was merely the descendant of a mercenary family at the bottom of the Dou Qi Continent.
Both parents were dead. This was similar to the main character of a novel, but there wasn't any blood feud. It could only be said that for the weak, life wasn't easy.
"Dawn, scan my body!
After Yan Aoyama shook his dizzy head, he reconstructed his worldview and reluctantly accepted his situation. Although he didn't know why the things in his head followed him, he still used his Smart Brain skillfully.
The electronic brain, Dawn, was a product of the modern Blue Planet. Every modern person had an item that could replace their ID card. It was a high-tech product that helped modern humans adapt to a faster pace of life.
This was an invention that transcended time. Human society had entered a brand new era, an era of higher efficiency.
Recording, storing, analyzing … supporting tasks. With the help of Dawn's powerful computing power, humans were able to perform tasks of higher intensity and precision.
Dawn was able to record everything around the human body, including sounds, images, smells, and even the gene level.
As a product that transcended time, it was not something like a supercomputer. In other words, it did not have a physical body. Rather than calling it a high-tech product, it was more like a program or a stream of information.
Scientists used external sources of information to edit and integrate a brand new 'program' into the human brain, allowing the human brain to have an auxiliary Smart Brain called 'Dawn'.
Dawn was definitely an invention that transcended time. At the time, it was promoted as Project Dawn. It meant hope, the hope of entering a new era. It was also said that it had a mysterious connection with the legendary God's Forbidden Zone.
Yan Aoyama originally thought that these were just rumors, but now it seemed that … it wasn't just random speculation.
"Cough cough …"
Yan Qingshan breathed heavily as he leaned against the headboard. He shook his groggy head. Right now, he needed to calm down and properly digest what had happened to him.
"Beep! Beep! Beep! "
The electronic sound echoed in his mind, but there was no sound in the room. This kind of illusion was very difficult to bear. This was the alert signal of the mind, or rather, the Smart Brain that was bound to the soul, Dawn, would only appear when it reached a certain level. Under normal circumstances, this kind of situation would not exist.
Dawn's operating speed was approaching a critical point, and this made his head feel hot and painful. Countless streams of information flowed in his mind, making him experience the feeling of being a top student with a photographic memory in his previous life. It was an uncomfortable feeling similar to hyperthymesia.
"Your limbs are slightly injured, your left shoulder is severely injured, and your clavicle is fractured. You have consumed a high-grade blood healing decoction. It is estimated that you will recover in 172 hours …"
A three-dimensional model appeared in his mind. It was like a waterfall of data that gushed out and finally formed into detailed data.
"The current best recovery plan: Jade Root Flower, Withered Bone Grass, Yellow Lotus Essence, Painted Graphistemma …"
"I really didn't think that I would encounter something like this. Transmigration? But I'm lucky, I'm still an apprentice! "
Yan Aoyama breathed deeply. His body was still aching, but after calming down, he relaxed a lot. Having a plan to speed up his recovery was good news for him.
Being an apprentice of Wanyao Zhai in Aoyama Town wasn't worth mentioning to the big shots on the continent, but this identity was really good for him. At least, it was better than being a mercenary or a member of a small family.
Dawn's operation was based on a database, and the database relied on information and knowledge to build a complete system. Yan Aoyama's identity as an apprentice gave him a high level of knowledge and understanding of basic medicine. This knowledge was the most precious to him.
The plan provided by Dawn was the best one based on his analysis of the current conditions.
Jade Root Flower, Withered Bone Grass, and Yellow Lotus Essence were all available in Wanyao Zhai. Moreover, they weren't precious herbs, so it was easy for him to obtain them. This was the best plan for him at the moment.
"Now that I have the treatment plan, the next step is to find the herbs. Fortunately, the original body still has the identity of an apprentice, so I have a quota of herbs every month, which is quite convenient."
Yan Aoyama struggled to sit up. Wanyao Zhai's medicine was quite effective, so walking with the help of a walking stick shouldn't be a problem.
"This is … … Yellow Lotus Essence!"
Just as he was about to get up, Yan Aoyama noticed that he was still holding something in his hand. It was a light yellow herb similar to Yellow Lotus Essence. At the same time, some memories flashed through his mind.
"Hmm, something's wrong, could it be … …"
Yan Aoyama was rejoicing that the cost of treatment had been reduced. Although a Yellow Lotus Essence was only a low-grade herb, it could be sold for hundreds of gold coins in a medicine shop. Its value was not low. However, looking at this Yellow Lotus Essence, Yan Aoyama instinctively felt that something was wrong.
He carefully used his fingernail to lightly scratch the surface of the Yellow Lotus Essence. The slightly yellowed surface opened up slightly, revealing a dark red color that was similar to fresh blood.
"This is … … Blood Lotus Essence!!!"
Yan Aoyama's eyes looked at the dark red color that was almost invisible. He hurriedly brought it to the tip of his nose and sniffed it. His nose was filled with a strange smell of blood. After smelling this smell, his entire body became more spirited, and the depths of his eyes became more radiant.
"Hahaha, Blood Lotus Essence, it's actually Blood Lotus Essence. This way, I can recover faster."
Yan Aoyama couldn't help but jump for joy. The plan provided by Dawn was the best under the current conditions. The materials provided were all things that he had, or things that he could easily obtain. As for things that he didn't have, or things that were precious and hard to obtain, they would automatically be ignored.
Yan Aoyama didn't have Blood Lotus Essence before, so the original plan naturally didn't consider it. However, when it appeared in Yan Aoyama's hands and could be used, a new plan was naturally formed. Yan Aoyama also had a better plan.
Blood Lotus Essence was an extremely rare high-grade medicinal ingredient. This medicinal ingredient usually grew together with Yellow Lotus Essence, but it was extremely rare.
The appearance of the two was almost exactly the same, but their value and effects were as different as heaven and earth. Yellow Lotus Essence was only an ordinary low-grade medicinal ingredient, while Blood Lotus Essence was a rare high-grade medicinal ingredient. Because its appearance had a special deceiving effect, it was extremely difficult to discover, and there was almost no circulation in the market.
The Yellow Lotus Essence that Yan Aoyama had prepared to obtain before could help his blood and qi to quickly heal. However, compared to Blood Lotus Essence, its effects weren't worth mentioning. With this Blood Lotus Essence in his hands, Yan Aoyama could quickly recover without leaving behind any hidden injuries. He wouldn't have to spend more than 170 hours and 7 days of effort.
"Big Brother Aoyama, why did you get up on your own!"
Yan Aoyama struggled to sit up on the bed. He was about to get up when he heard a call from behind him. The girl's voice was somewhat familiar, and when he raised his head, he saw a familiar yet somewhat unfamiliar face.
"Little Doctor!"
Yan Aoyama said tentatively. The girl in front of him was no more than 11 or 12 years old. She wore a pale white dress, and although her appearance couldn't be considered stunning, it could still be said that she was a rare beauty.
Her indifferent smiling face exuded a fresh and ethereal temperament. This unique temperament instantly gave her a unique charm.
This girl was still young, and her figure hadn't fully developed yet. However, the outline of her beautiful figure was already beginning to show, especially her willowy waist that was tightly bound by a dark green silk belt. It was so small that one couldn't help but let their eyes linger on it. Her slender and delicate appearance made one unable to help but feel tender and affectionate towards her.
This girl was the orphan adopted by Mr. Yao of Wanyao Zhai. She was also Wanyao Zhai's medical apprentice, and her name was Little Doctor. It was a very pleasant name.
"Big Brother Aoyama, where are you going?"
Little Doctor saw that Yan Aoyama seemed to be preparing to leave, and anxiously came to his side. She carefully reached out a pair of jade-like hands to support his arm so that he wouldn't fall.
Yan Aoyama quickly retracted his somewhat heated gaze. Although a beauty was good, treating his injuries was more important now. "I'm going to the medicine hall. May I trouble you?"
"Mr. Yao said that you need to rest well in this situation. It's better if you don't move around too much …"
Little Doctor didn't refuse, but she couldn't help but advise him as she helped him over. She didn't have any other intentions, and was purely worried about his injuries.
Wanyao Zhai's medicine hall wasn't too far from Yan Aoyama's residence, but this short distance felt like a long walk to Yan Aoyama. The image of the girl beside him was deeply imprinted in his eyes and mind.
"We've arrived at the medicine hall. Big Brother Aoyama, this crutch is for you. I have other things to do!"
After Little Doctor helped Yan Aoyama to the medicine hall, she took a crutch from the side and gave it to him. She smiled sweetly and turned to leave to help in the front hall.
Yan Aoyama looked at her receding figure and couldn't help but smile. Such a cute and beautiful girl like a fairy really made one unable to bear to hurt her. No wonder so many mercenaries in the original work liked her.
