Chapter 75.1

Face-Slapping the genius from another world (1.1)

Editor: Chestnutwhale

Inside of the vast s.p.a.ce, Zhou Xu quietly pondered, thinking that maybe this time the shadow could stay for a longer period of time.

In the previous world, Zhou Xu hadn’t remembered anything at all from the real world, but he was getting more and more familiar with his lover. There was no need to look for a red mole on him anymore, he could now practically recognise his lover by touch.

And no matter which world it was, his lover would fall in love with him the earliest.

The two were drawn to each other, or at least, that’s how Zhou Xu had described it to his lover.

Even if the two didn’t originally know each other, his lover would still inevitably fall in love with him at first sight. If they did know each other, a favourable impression and interest would arise.

Perhaps, the two were destined to be together.

Suddenly, a lofty shadow appeared. This time he stayed for a really ‘long’ time, it was roughly about a second.

Looking at this man, Zhou Xu wanted to say something. But he didn’t know why his throat felt choked, and he was unable to speak. He could only look steadily at the man in front of him.

The man’s eyes were overflowing with emotions. He stared at Zhou Xu, also wanting to speak. But in the end, he only said, “Xiao Xu.” before his silhouette faded away into the vast s.p.a.ce.

Inside one of the Noah Star’s wards, the admiral awoke once again.

He sat up straight, supporting his forehead with one hand. After kneading his temples, he became thoroughly clear-headed.

He looked at the hospital ward in front of him as well as the two devices in the corner, which he’d asked the medical personnel for the last time that he was awake.

He knew that he didn’t have much time left. Because he didn’t know how long he’d be awake and he also couldn’t guess, he could only make the most out of this time.

Sitting down in front of the ultra high speed computer, the general’s 10 fingers were flying. He wanted to find out what had been unusual that day when Zhou Xu was promoted to a military advisor.

He couldn’t think of a reason as to why Zhou Xu had suddenly disappeared, but he was convinced that since his consciousness could emerge, Zhou Xu’s body would surely be able to as well. However, to find the method, he’d have to find out who made Zhou Xu disappear first.

An image of Zhou Xu appeared inside of the ultra high speed computer, it was the image of Zhou Xu looking at him, with a slightly smiling appearance. Looking as good as ever, he’d said to him, “Thank you.”

At the time, the general had been helping Zhou Xu change his epaulettes. Yes, Zhou Xu was promoted to a post in the military division and his rank to lieutenant general.

No, there was someone missing beside Zhou Xu!

Who was it, that was actually able to alter memories and picture records? How was this accomplished?

Who was the missing person?

The admiral was still puzzled after pondering over it, but he was very sure that there had been someone behind Zhou Xu. That person should be someone that was gentle, and they knew both him and Zhou Xu. But why couldn’t he remember?

The admiral’s consciousness began to blur again, but before he lost consciousness, he realized that everyone present might’ve had their memories altered.

Smiling slightly, the Admiral fainted once again. He was convinced that since he could find the issue, he could definitely find a solution.

Opening his eyes, Zhou Xu examined his surroundings, before proceeding to close them again. He didn’t care what world this was, only that inside of the vast s.p.a.ce, the shadow’s voice had said, “Xiao Xu.”

Zhou Xu could feel when the man had called his name, his heart had been full of love, and he had been unwilling to part with him.

Bringing his thoughts back to the present, Zhou Xu began to a.n.a.lyze the situation.

If he wasn’t mistaken, this man should be his lover in the real world. And all the lovers he met in the worlds he transmigrated to should’ve been his spiritual body, or rather, part of his soul. And everytime the two of them died, that soul fragment would return.

However, as for why the spirit was becoming increasingly clear, and why he could remain in the s.p.a.ce for more and more time, Zhou Xu had no clue.

Also, he should be looking for himself. That’s why his gaze had been so impatient.

Could it be that all of the lovers Zhou Xu had met in each world had been chasing after him?

It should be. In that case, where was his lover’s body? What was his name? What had caused Zhou Xu to forget about him? Also, how did he end up in this transmigration system? Is he trying to help himself escape the system?

“Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu?”

Zhou Xu’s train of thought was interrupted by a hoa.r.s.e voice. Opening his eyes once more, Zhou Xu looked at the man sitting in front of him. He also took notice of his surroundings.

He was now in some forest, surrounded by trees in every direction. The reason why he could clearly see the man in front of him now was because today, the moon was very bright.

A continuous itch was felt in his pinky as Zhou Xu received this world’s information.

This was a fairly primitive society, and the people’s lives were very simple. They were a tribe who hunted for a living. The clan lived together, and the prey they got was distributed together.

Perhaps that’s why there was lots of compet.i.tion between this world’s clans. For example, the area that their clan lived was considered rich and fertile, so the race living in barren areas would naturally covet their territory. The person Zhou Xu was facing right now was a person from another tribe.

“Zhou Xu, Zhou Xu?” The man sitting opposite of him began to shout again.

“En, I’m listening, say it.”

“What did I say ah, tell us. When are you going hunting? Didn’t we come to an agreement that you’d let us know, and then we’d come to attack your hut.

Nodding, Zhou Xu answered, “I forgot.”

It turns out that in this world, Zhou Xu was a traitor to his clan. Right now, he was supposed to be informing the enemy clan. But at this moment, the male lead was also there. He was lying on his stomach behind a bush, eavesdropping.

This world’s Zhou Xu was very jealous. He was a military advisor of the clan, so he had always insisted that he’d become the clan’s future leader. However, after the arrival of the male lead, the male lead had taught the people how to dry salt and other techniques such as curing meat. He was thought highly of by the clan’s people, so much that in the people’s eyes, he had replaced Zhou Xu as the military advisor.

As a result, the original owner nearly burst with jealousy and prepared to join hands with another clan to annihilate the male lead. At the same time, he would bring reinforcements, and save the people. Finally, he would become the saviour of the clan. Taking the position of clan leader was just around the corner.

However, what he didn’t expect was that Zhou Xu’s plan was overheard by the male lead. Thus, the male lead told the clan elder. After that, they defeated the enemy clan. Zhou Xu was then burned to death above on the altar by the male lead.

Now that Zhou Xu was borrowing the original owner’s body, his purpose would be to drive away the male lead from the tribe, before finally taking on the position of clan elder. Zhou Xu slightly smiled, saying towards the enemy: “Tomorrow, Yan He will lead us to the Wanshui Po in the northwest. We will go there in the evening because that place has many wild bears. So, tomorrow early morning, you guys should set it up without delay.

Yan He was this clan’s bravest and fiercest warrior. He was almost always the one who led the hunt, and if you left with him, you would never leave empty handed, not even in the coldest winters.

It was because of Yan He’s that the clan’s mortality rate had been relatively low. The clan could still eat their fill regardless of the season.

Yan He was only twenty-one years old this year, but he’s the twenty-one year old who had already led the clan’s hunting for nearly seven years.

“Okay, okay. Zhou Xu, I swear that I will surely catch Ruan Shijin and kill him.”

“En, then let’s go, ba. Don’t let anyone see you.”

“Okay, okay.”

Ruan Shijin was this world’s protagonist, and he had transmigrated over from the modern era. Before he crossed over, he had been an ordinary man working a nine to five shift, with no wife nor child, and his parents were already dead. Therefore, he’d always been muddled until he crossed over to this world. His life had suddenly changed.

Zhou Xu thought to himself, it really is true that protagonists become talented once they cross over to another world. But in the real world, he was merely an ordinary person and nothing more.

Speaking of which, Zhou Xu felt it absurd that every world’s protagonist had all sorts of good luck. If they had no halo, the protagonist would’ve been an ordinary person regardless of where they went.

Once the enemy clan’s person had left, Zhou Xu got up. As for the person lying on his stomach behind the bushes, he didn’t want to expose him yet.

Returning to the clan, Zhou Xu thought for a while, then went to the clan head because he needed to carefully think of a countermeasure. After all, this was a primitive world, and the only technology that could be considered to have been developed is iron making.

This iron making technique they used was solely for the bows and arrows, even the knives were not properly made.

Finding the leader, Zhou Xu directly told him about everything. Even the fact that Ruan Shijin had been beside him, hiding in the bushes.

T/N: This is the first chapter I’ve translated a chapter on CG!~ Woo~~ Also, a primitive world…I’m worried BAHAHAHA.
