章節 2: Chapter 2: Immortality
[Inborn Talent: Immortality]
[Talent Effect: This person is favored by Heaven, granted longevity among Heaven and Earth, and will not die due to lifespan issues.]
[Note: Although you are immune to the threat of death from exhausting your lifespan due to the luck of Heaven and Earth, this only eliminates your risk of death from age, not from other causes.
You will still die from natural or man-made disasters.
Therefore, although you are a long-lived person, it does not mean that you can be worry-free forever.
Throughout your prolonged life, you must learn how to avoid the danger of death from external forces, which is the necessary cultivation for a qualified long-lived person.]
Lu Yuan read the information in his mind, and after reading it all, he couldn't help but be stunned.
Inborn Talent?
Immortality?
"Isn't this the inborn talent I chose when creating a game character before I passed out? Is this my cheat code?" Lu Yuan couldn't help but recall his previous scene before crossing over.
Before crossing over, he was playing a game called "Eternal Immortal Path".
In this game, when players create a character, they can randomly obtain an inborn talent, which will be the innate characteristic of the character, accompanying them throughout their growth, similar to a cheat code in crossing over.
And the inborn talent that Lu Yuan got was this [Immortality].
How should I put it?
Among all the inborn talents in the game, it can only be considered average, suitable for commoner players, allowing them to use their endless longevity to slowly breakthrough.
So they won't die from age issues before they can make a breakthrough.
But for rich players, this talent is meaningless. They can rely on recharge to quickly accumulate and advance their state, and they will never worry about their game character's lifespan.
"So because of playing the game before crossing over, my game character's inborn talent followed me, then became my cheat code, giving me immortality?" Lu Yuan slowly analyzed, and then felt a mixture of emotions.
Immortality, for many people, is definitely something they dream of.
After all, everyone wants to live long and not die.
Who would refuse to have eternal life?
So, Lu Yuan was quite satisfied with this talent.
This is reality, not a game.
Who wouldn't like a lifespan equal to that of heaven?
But the problem is, such a cheat code, is almost useless for his current situation.
Yes, eternal life is indeed attractive.
But as this talent note says, eternal life only solves the death threat from your lifespan aspect but does not solve the death threat from other external forces.
If you are killed by someone, you will die.
If you fall into a river, you will die.
If you fall off a cliff, you will die.
If you have nothing to eat, you will die.
In real life, there are too many dangers that can lead to death.
And if you don't have enough strength to avoid these dangers, what's the use of having eternal life?
Maybe one day there will be an accident that you can't avoid, and you'll be gone.
"So, what's the use of having such an Immortality talent for me now?
What I want is a quick-acting cheat code that can directly enhance my strength. Not this seemingly eternal, but not guaranteed life."
At this time, the smoked meat was ready. Lu Yuan took the roasted meat with a bit of depression, brought it to his mouth, blew the heat away, and took a bite.
Of course, the smoked meat made by the hunter in the mountains won't have any good seasonings, just some salt to keep it from going bad.
However, the raw materials were good. This smoked meat was made from a wild deer that the original body hunted in the mountains. The local game didn't need much processing, and the ingredients itself were already excellent.
The smell of smoke mixed with the aroma of grease made Lu Yuan, who was starving, wolf down the meat quickly.
With each bite of roasted smoked meat, his frigid and starving body gradually warmed up.
When he finished the last bite, Lu Yuan walked to a wooden barrel near him, scooped up a spoonful of clear water, and gulped it down.
After a long sigh, a sense of satisfaction rose in his heart.
But then a gust of cold wind from the outer room made him shiver, forcing him to wrap up his thin clothes and sit back next to the fire to get the only warmth available.
Looking at the surrounding environment, the light from the fire next to him could only illuminate the inner area of the cave, while the distant tunnel outside was still pitch black.
The wind outside seemed to have gotten stronger.
Some whining and howling sounds, like wild animals crying, came with the distant wind.
With the memory of his previous life, Lu Yuan immediately identified the sounds as coming from several predators in the mountains, who seemed to be reveling in the darkness.
"Listening to the sound like an old lady wailing, there should be a pack of Wild Yellow Dogs outside looking for food. I just don't know which poor beasts are having bad luck tonight. Judging from the direction of the cries, could it be the wild boars at Lonely Ridge?" Lu Yuan listened to the sounds of the wild animals carried by the wind, and after identifying them, felt a little nervous.
The so-called Wild Yellow Dogs are actually jackals, a group of fierce and powerful animals roaming Dayu Mountain.
They appear in groups, are ferocious and cunning, making even the wolf packs avoid them by a mile. Even the king of the mountain, the Fierce Tigers, are not a match for a group of Wild Yellow Dogs.
When such a group of fierce hunters is active outside, as a resident living in the mountains, how could Lu Yuan not feel nervous and afraid?
After thinking about it, he stood up, walked to the stone wall, took down a torch hanging on it, and walked towards the tunnel.
After about ten steps, the entrance of the tunnel was in front of him.
A simple wooden door made from tree trunks was blocking the entrance.
With countless wild animals in the mountains, the original inhabitant living here would naturally need to add extra protection.
This wooden door in front of him is the best barrier to block wild animals.
The door is made from tree trunks three inches thick and fixed by simple mortise and tenon joints along with ropes, making it sturdy enough to withstand the impact of ordinary wild beasts.
Last year, a wild wolf sneaked in, seemingly trying to launch a surprise attack.
But in the end, it was blocked by the wooden door. After being exposed, the wild wolf tried to force its way through but failed to break through the door after several attempts to ram and bite it.
Eventually, the original body was awakened and killed the wild wolf with an arrow. The next day, he took the skinned wolf and sold its fur in the city at the foot of the mountain, exchanging it for a month's supply of rice and salt.
Therefore, this door has been tested.
Beyond the wooden door, there is a layer of vines and tree branches covering the entrance, serving as the outermost camouflage.
Vines, wooden doors, and knives and arrows – these three things are the basis of a hunter's survival in these mountains.
