Chapter 8

"Eh... but I'm very hungry."

"That's not okay either, this is the rule."

The young woman said impolitely.

A strong man with a beard sitting on the ground next to her, holding a wine pot, saw this scene and laughed loudly.

"Mary, you are really strict."

The woman glared, and the man immediately stopped laughing. He reached out and clenched his fist to his mouth, coughing twice.

Then he sat cross-legged on the ground, crossed his arms, and looked at the children who had been impatient for a long time.

"Okay, is everyone here?"

"Everyone is here!"

The children except Luo En said in unison.

"Okay, then in order, come forward to receive food, everyone's is the same, no fighting!"

"Yes, Dad."

Luo En took two pieces of bread and a small piece of meat steak from the middle-aged woman named Mary, said thank you, and then retreated to the tree on the side to eat.

The bread was very hard and tasteless, and the meat steak was also very hard, with a fishy smell that hadn't been removed, and the salt taste was very light.

Even so, Luo En still wolfed it down.

The man sat there, looking at these children wolfing down their food, drinking heavily, and laughing loudly.

"Don't rush, eat slowly, there will be more tomorrow."

…………

At night.

When Luo En got up to pee, he heard the conversation between the man and the woman in the room.

"Harris, did you go to help those mountain bandits again?"

A silence.

"Didn't you swear never to be a mountain bandit again? Why did you..." The woman's voice carried a trace of sobbing.

"Don't cry, I didn't become a mountain bandit, I just... helped a little, I promise I didn't kill anyone." The man scratched his head: "No way, those pirates came not long ago. The tavern where I worked was also robbed, and the salary for this month couldn't be paid at all. I can't let these children starve... so I... I promise this is absolutely the last time."

"Damn pirates, didn't those navy say they would come to help us? When will they come?"

"Humph, those navy won't come, they were bought by those pirates long ago, colluding with each other, how could they care about our life or death."

"Sigh, when will this kind of day end..."

……

Luo En returned to the room without saying a word, lay on the bed, and looked at the ceiling.

Dad Harris seemed to have been a mountain bandit, but later he stopped being a mountain bandit. The children here are all orphans he adopted.

Although Mary is strict, she never complained about him adopting these children one by one, but just took care of them to the best of her ability.

They are all good people.

Luo En raised his hand, looked at his open hand, and his eyes gradually became firm.

I want to help them!

Even without a system...

Even if I am still just an eight-year-old child...

In short, I can no longer have that sense of superiority as a transmigrator, feeling that I am out of place with this world.

Since I have come to this world, I must integrate into this world!

Luo En's eyes were firm.

[Ding, detected the host's strong will, the strongest sign-in system is activated.]

Luo En was stunned for a moment.

"...Eh?"

Then he reacted, jumping up from the bed.

"Eh eh eh eh eh?!!!"

Mars, who was sleeping next to him, was awakened by him, rubbing his sleepy eyes, and propped up his upper body, saying: "Luo En, what's wrong? Did you have a nightmare?"

"No, nothing."

Luo En's voice was trembling.

"Oh, then... good night."

Mars fell asleep again.

Luo En pinched his little face to confirm the pain.

Not dreaming.

"System?"

[Here.]

It's real!

He was extremely excited and excited.

He endured the excitement in his heart and asked in his heart:

"Sys, system, what functions do you have?"

[The host can sign in at different locations that meet the sign-in conditions, and can get corresponding rewards after signing in.]

"Then, can I sign in here?"

[Detecting... The host is in the East Sea, Moses Island, and can sign in.]

Luo En was overjoyed and said immediately:

"Then I want to sign in!"

[Sign-in completed, reward obtained: physique improvement, blood value +10.

Reward obtained: Sun Breathing Method.]

The moment the system's voice sounded, a warm air current instantly filled Luo En's whole body, and his originally thin and weak body was instantly filled with power.

At the same time, the entire content of the Sun Breathing Method began to emerge in his mind, and his breathing began to adjust autonomously.

The blood in Luo En's body began to boil and surge, and with the progress of breathing, it became like fire dragons, scouring Luo En's physique and bones.

But when the breathing reached a certain point, it was suddenly interrupted.

Luo En opened his eyes suddenly, opened his mouth to spit out a turbid breath, his face pale, and he breathed heavily.

"Failed? What went wrong?"

[Back to the host, this is because your physique is still weak, and your blood is not enough to support the operation of the Sun Breathing Method.]

A flash of realization flashed in Luo En's eyes.

"So that's it."

"In that case, the most important thing for me now is to strengthen exercise and improve my physique."

[Yes.]

Luo En clenched his fists, his eyes extremely firm.

He wants to become stronger.

Only by becoming stronger can he not be hungry and eat better food.

Only by becoming stronger can he help Harris and Mary.

And only by becoming stronger can he survive well in this pirate world where the weak eat the strong!

[Please collect and support!!]

2, Cultivation and growth, Luo En's goal (2/10)

Early the next morning, the sky was just getting light.

Luo En got up, and the children around him were still sleeping soundly.

Mary, who was busy with breakfast in the room, heard the movement, turned her head, and looked at Luo En with surprise: "Little Luo En? Why did you get up so early today?"

"I couldn't sleep after waking up, good morning Aunt Mary, is there anything I can help with?"

Luo En asked.

"Thank you for your kindness... but there is nothing to help with."

"Okay, then I'll go for a walk."
