Crossing To The Primitive With A Game Panel - Chapter 95

Possibly due to language barriers, Lu Yu and Tai Lie had been communicating smoothly. Over these past few days, Lu Yu had begun to treat Tai Lie and the others as ordinary people, forgetting that they were actually from thousands of years ago.

There might be an insurmountable gap in their thoughts and views on certain events.

Lu Yu lay languidly on the bed. Originally, he had planned to enter the dream training ground tonight, but now that Tai Lie had left and he himself had no mood to sleep, he could only randomly think about many things.

After who knows how long, a ray of sunlight penetrated the room.

In a daze, half awake and half asleep, Lu Yu suddenly opened his eyes, turned his head, and reached out his hand to the side.

The bed beside him was empty and cold.

Looking around the room, the oil lamp had long been extinguished, and the door was tightly closed.

Tai Lie hadn’t returned last night.

Lu Yu sighed briefly, sat up, rubbed his face to clear his mind a bit.

Although it was their first quarrel after being together, Lu Yu felt that it was just a small matter. But he didn’t expect that this small matter would lead to them hardly speaking to each other for several days.

During the day, they each did their own work. Apart from meals, Tai Lie almost always went out hunting with Le Shui and the others. He also didn’t return to the room at night, and Lu Yu didn’t know where he went or what he did.

Although more and more wild beasts were being hunted, Lu Yu couldn’t feel happy about it.

He couldn’t hold it in any longer and wanted to talk to Tai Lie.

After dinner, Lu Yu stopped Tai Lie as he was about to leave.

“Let’s talk.” Lu Yu clenched his fist quietly.

Tai Lie stopped in his tracks, lifted his eyelids, seeming a little impatient. “In a few days.”

Lu Yu took a step forward. “Let’s talk today, since we don’t have anything else to do today anyway…”

“King! We should go hunting!” Shan Pu ran over, waving his hand cheerfully.

Lu Yu held back his words and glared fiercely at Shan Pu.

Shan Pu shuddered and rubbed the goosebumps on his arm, wondering why he suddenly felt a bit cold.

After seeing the person across from King clearly, Shan Pu put on an ignorant smile. “Witch, you’re here too. Witch, let me tell you, we found a nest of long-toothed elephants yesterday. Their teeth are translucent and beautiful when polished into stones. King showed us the ambush location yesterday, and we’re going to catch them today.”

Lu Yu forced a smile. “Is that so? Then you guys should hurry.”

“Alright! King, let’s go!” Shan Pu shouted eagerly.

Tai Lie ignored him and strode away.

After waving goodbye to Lu Yu, Shan Pu quickly caught up with Tai Lie’s footsteps.

Lu Yu watched their backs and gritted his teeth.

Fine, if he didn’t want to discuss it, then they wouldn’t. Let’s see who could hold out longer.

Lu Yu’s temper flared up, and he couldn’t understand Tai Lie’s thoughts at all. Since the other party wasn’t willing to let him understand, why bother trying so hard?

After that, Lu Yu began to spend long periods of time in the valley, observing them learning various skills and creating various things. He tried to apply his modern knowledge to see if he could help them in any way.

However, Lu Yu couldn’t hold it in any longer.

He tried to use busyness to ignore it, but Tai Lie’s influence on his emotions had exceeded his expectations.

On this day, after dinner, Lu Yu tidied up the dishes, cleared his throat, and said to everyone, “The weather is hot, so when you go to the river to bathe, don’t stay in the water for too long. Remember to dry off after getting up. Catching a cold is no joke.”

The people of Matai felt a bit strange about Lu Yu suddenly mentioning bathing, but they all responded in unison.

After coughing, Lu Yu added, “Of course, bathing is a must.”

After saying this, Lu Yu put away the dishes, turned, and walked towards the water pond.

Lu Yu soaked for almost an hour, until it was too dark to continue, before standing up, casually wiping off the water on his body, putting on his clothes, and returning to the small stone house.

With the help of another Matai person, he opened the dream training ground.

For the past few days, Lu Yu had been having trouble falling asleep at night and couldn’t fully enter the dream. Today, he forced himself to lie down.

Lu Yu entered the control room.

After the village upgrade a few days ago, the panel prompted several messages.

Skill updates and construction blueprint updates.

Lu Yu clicked on the options to check.

After reading the instructions, he was surprised for a moment.

This update turned out to be the “supporting skills” for village upgrades, mainly focusing on how to repair the city if it was damaged. Moreover, it also included external defense measures such as how to dig trenches and build traps, all classified under “city defense.”

After reading these, Lu Yu was quite satisfied. It wasn’t an exaggeration to say that if all of these were properly arranged, this small city would be absolutely impregnable for at least several decades. Neither wild beasts nor external enemies would not be able to invade.

However, these things couldn’t be perfected all at once. It would take a long time to learn and build bit by bit.

Lu Yu furrowed his brows. Besides these, the most important thing was that they didn’t have enough manpower.

Currently, whether it was the valley people or in Matai, everyone had clear tasks, and everyone was working hard to learn and work. They wished they could split one person into two, but that was impossible. They had just started to grasp these things, and they couldn’t spare manpower to learn more.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yu temporarily put aside the new skills. According to the previous arrangement, he recorded the operation and let everyone enter the dream training ground.

After doing all this, Lu Yu opened Tai Lie’s avatar.

It was dark.

He hadn’t entered.

Lu Yu’s anger subsided slightly, but he was rather puzzled. Tai Lie hadn’t slept? Where did he go last night? What was he doing at night?

The more Lu Yu thought about it, the stranger it seemed, but he couldn’t come up with an answer for the time being, so he temporarily set aside this matter.

Since the combat training ground had been opened for group training before, but Tai Lie wasn’t present, Lu Yu didn’t open it either. Instead, he went around to see how everyone was learning and training.

—

Lu Yu opened his eyes drowsily, feeling weak all over, without any strength. His head was still dizzy and painful.

He reached out and felt his hair, realizing that the hair he washed last night was still wet and stuck together in clumps, like it had been oiled.

Lu Yu hadn’t cut his hair for a long time, and it had grown very long and thick. He usually tied it behind his head with a small grass rope. After washing his hair last night, because he had things on his mind, he didn’t dry it and went to bed like that.

The result…

Lu Yu smiled helplessly.

He had warned everyone yesterday, but he ended up getting sick himself.

The red medicine had no effect on this kind of viral illness, and Lu Yu didn’t want to waste the medicine. He got up from the bed, rinsed his face quickly, and took out a stone pot to boil a pot of Isatis Root water for himself.

“Witch, what are you cooking?” Xia Cao walked over with a pot of porridge.

Lu Yu hesitated. “Nothing…”

Xia Cao placed the porridge down and scooped out a bowl for Lu Yu, staring at his face for a few seconds, and furrowed her brows. “Witch, what’s wrong with you? You look terrible.”

Lu Yu took the porridge, knowing he couldn’t hide it from Xia Cao, so he had to confess honestly, “I’m feeling a bit unwell, but it’s okay. I’ll be fine after drinking this pot of medicinal water.”

“Witch, are you sick?!” Xia Cao exclaimed in surprise.

Lu Yu hurriedly said, “No, no, I’m just feeling a bit unwell, but I’ll be fine soon.”

Although he said it lightly, Xia Cao was still worried. “Does King know?”

Lu Yu hesitated. “Um…”

“I’ll go tell King!” Xia Cao stood up abruptly.

Lu Yu stopped her with a raised hand. “Don’t!”

Xia Cao stopped and looked at Lu Yu seriously.

Lu Yu awkwardly rubbed his nose. “You should have figured it out by now.”

Xia Cao sat back down, worried. “I know you and King haven’t been talking much lately.”

Lu Yu made a noncommittal sound and vaguely said, “We have some differences on a certain matter, but it’s not a big deal. Don’t worry, my body doesn’t need to be worried about either. I’ll be fine soon, so don’t make everyone nervous.”

Lu Yu would never tell anyone about his private matters with Tai Lie. Moreover, Xia Cao was an unmarried girl. It didn’t matter about gender; the main point was that this was his and Tai Lie’s matter, and they had to solve it themselves.

Xia Cao tactfully stopped asking more questions and paused for a moment before saying, “Witch, no matter what, King really cares about you. Sometimes he just keeps everything in his heart and doesn’t say anything…”

Lu Yu buried himself in drinking the porridge and didn’t say anything more.

After taking the brewed medicinal soup, Lu Yu didn’t force himself to work. He turned and lay down in the stone house.

Lu Yu lay on the bed, one arm resting on his eyes to block out the sunlight so that he could fall asleep. However, he was feeling feverish all over now, his head hurt, and he was extremely uncomfortable, making it impossible for him to focus on the game.

In a half-asleep state, he heard the door creak open.

Steady footsteps stopped by his bedside.

After a while, a faint sigh came from the air.

A large, soft palm touched his forehead gently, and then the soft touch disappeared from his forehead in an instant.

Lu Yu pursed his lips and gradually became more awake. However, he didn’t move or open his eyes.

The person standing by his bedside finally spoke.

“Sorry. It’s all my fault.”

“I said I’d listen to you.”

“I broke my promise. You can punish me however you want.”

“But, take care of yourself.”

The man’s voice was as deep as ever, filled with regret and concern.

Lying there as if asleep, Lu Yu turned over slightly, secretly curling his lips. Perhaps the Isatis Root water had taken effect; he felt like he wasn’t as uncomfortable anymore, and his head didn’t hurt as much.

He could finally rest properly.

Lu Yu relaxed his body and mind.

At this moment, a mocking voice sounded in his mind.

“[Lu Yu, oh Lu Yu, you’re quite something, aren’t you? Are you still a man? You even resort to playing the sympathy card? You clearly knew Xia Cao was worried about your health. Even if you didn’t directly say it, you could have hinted at it, but you deliberately stopped her. You’re really scheming! You’re so dramatic!]”

—

Lu Yu silently retorted.

He didn’t. Forgetting to dry his hair before sleeping and catching a cold wasn’t intentional.

He absolutely didn’t resort to playing the sympathy card.

And he absolutely didn’t deliberately want to make Tai Lie feel sorry for him.

He just forgot, that’s all.
