Chapter 2: Drinking Blood

“Ding, detected that the host’s consciousness is unclear, automatically bound to return target Lu Xiaoxiao (click to view).”

“Ding, the host gifted 321 ml of blood to return target Lu Xiaoxiao. For the first return reward, you have obtained the following 3 choose 1 reward authorization.”

“Reward 1: 3210 ml of blood.”

“Reward 2: 3.21 units of Essence Blood.”

“Reward 3: 1.605 units of Essence Blood, 1605 ml of blood.”

Upon hearing this prompt, Lu Wei’s originally groggy mind suddenly cleared.

“System?”

This thing, he was too familiar with it. He had read countless novels in his past life, so he naturally understood the system very well.

With the help of the system, even a pig could become Zhu Bajie.

As soon as he finished speaking to himself, a system interface appeared in front of him.

[Host]: Lu Wei

[Age]: 18

[Aptitude]: 51

[Comprehension]: 55

[Constitution]: 2.6/5

[Essence Blood]: 2.7/5

[Spirit]: 4/11

[Cultivation Method]: None

[Skills]: None

[Talent]: None

[Divine Ability]: None

[Cultivation Level]: None

[Free Attributes]: 0

[System Level]: Level 1 (1/5)

Note: For every level up, gain 5 free attribute points.

Level 1 can bind 1 target, and each person can return once per day.

The return multiple is related to the target’s rating (click for details).

The first bound target must be of the opposite sex, and future targets must also be of the opposite sex of the host. Same-sex binding is currently unavailable.

The same item gifted to the same target can only be returned once; repetition is invalid.

Items obtained from returns cannot be gifted to other bound targets for repeated returns.

Bound Target: Lu Xiaoxiao (click to expand)

Looking at the system interface that suddenly appeared in front of him, Lu Wei’s blood surged with excitement, and his heart pounded.

His originally weak body seemed to have a return of light, and at this moment, he actually had some strength.

Lu Wei knew that this was an illusion caused by his excessive excitement and accelerated blood flow. He might faint again in a while.

In this environment surrounded by wolves, even though he had tried his best to choose a remote place away from the crowd to hide, if he fainted, the chances of him and his younger sister being killed were very high.

Never underestimate the bottom line of extremely hungry people. The tragedy of cannibalism could happen, let alone eating two strangers like them?

There was no other way before, but now that he had the system, he had to find a way to protect himself before he fainted.

Right, the reward!

Lu Wei stared at the 3 reward options that appeared beside the interface. He had to make a choice as soon as possible.

The first was 3200 ml of blood.

Without hesitation, he gave up on this option.

Although 3200 ml of blood was a lot, it was enough for him and his younger sister to eat two meals.

But after two meals, nothing would be left.

The second option, 3.2 units of Essence Blood.

Although Lu Wei didn’t know the effect of Essence Blood, since it could appear on the attribute interface, it meant that this thing was very important.

However, no matter how important it was, it was not as important as filling his stomach for him at the moment.

So, in order to take both aspects into consideration, Lu Wei decided to choose the third one.

This way, he could increase his Essence Blood, restore it to a near-normal level, and use the remaining blood to fill his stomach.

“I choose the third one.”

“Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining 1.605 units of Essence Blood and 1605 ml of blood. Essence Blood automatically added, blood has been automatically placed in the system space, and can be extracted at any time.”

As soon as the system’s voice fell.

Lu Wei felt a heat all over his body, and his heart was pounding like an engine with the accelerator pedal to the floor.

His originally weak body was instantly filled with strength.

As the saying goes: Essence Blood are full, and all diseases will not arise.

Essence Blood are the root, the source, driving the whole body, nourishing the internal organs.

If the human body is compared to a machine, then Essence Blood is the fuel that supplies the operation of this machine.

This is just a simple analogy. In fact, the effect of Essence Blood on the human body is more complex.

The most important step in martial arts body refinement is to transport Essence Blood, strengthen Essence Blood, and temper the whole body through Essence Blood.

If Essence Blood are strong, the body will be like a couldron, tempered into steel, and the golden body will not be broken.

But for Lu Wei, these were still relatively far away.

Currently, he had received this 1.605 units of Essence Blood supplement, which only made his Essence Blood slightly exceed the level of ordinary people.

This was already extremely difficult for him.

On this escape route, it was extremely important to have extraordinary Essence Blood. Except for martial artists, not everyone could do it.

With his Essence Blood replenished, as long as he replenished enough food, he could restore his physique to a normal level.

As for food, Lu Wei looked at the clay pot beside him.

Without saying a word, he directly put the clay pot back on the fire and started to boil water.

As for the fact that this clay pot had just boiled cloth strips, that was not a problem.

For an extremely hungry person, let alone boiling cloth strips, even boiling Olympic gold medals would not prevent them from putting it in their mouths.

The water quickly boiled. Lu Wei directly took the blood out of the system space and put it into the boiling water.

As soon as the fresh blood met the boiling water, it was instantly scalded, just like egg white, turning into irregular shapes of silk thread.

Lu Wei cooked all the blood. After he finished eating, he could give his younger sister some.

Seeing that the blood was cooked, Lu Wei gently took the clay pot off the fire.

He smelled it, and there was no smell.

Since it was a system reward, there should be no bacteria or viruses. Lu Wei was not worried about any problems after eating it.

He impatiently picked up a branch, broke it into two pieces, used them as chopsticks, and then started to eat in big mouthfuls.

The nutrients in the blood were still very rich, containing a large amount of iron and protein, dozens of times that of beef.

Ignoring the burning sensation, Lu Wei took several bites in a row.

With food in his stomach, his burning hunger was finally relieved.

Slowly, his limbs also gained some strength.

After eating some, Lu Wei didn’t dare to eat anymore. If he hadn’t eaten for a long time and suddenly ate too much, his stomach wouldn’t be able to handle it.

He planned to let the rest cool down, and then wake up his younger sister to eat some too.

After resting for a while and recovering a bit, Lu Wei was about to open the system to study it carefully.

Suddenly, the sound of footsteps on the snow reached his ears.

Startled, Lu Wei grabbed a piece of firewood, quietly poked his head out from the edge of the pit, and looked in the direction of the footsteps.
