Chapter 3: A Small Counterattack

  Small counterattack

  The planet of Ibiza also follows the natural law of sunrise and sunset. Early in the morning, Guardian Pres pushed a food cart to knock on the door of the seventh young master Duan Chu. There was no response inside, he didn't think much of it, and directly pushed the door open.

  As expected, pale and haggard Duan Chujing quietly lay on the bed in a daze.

  Pres walked forward, just wanting to wake the person up. The young man on the bed suddenly opened his eyes and stared at him intently. He involuntarily paused in his actions, subconsciously revealing a standardized smile.

  The Hua Wa galaxy has always been strict, and the planet of Yiwesa is no exception. Although it's not in the capital star region, the requirements for warriors are still very stringent. Pres is a second-level acquired warrior, and when facing the waste young master of the Duan family, he must be extremely respectful, lest he accidentally provoke the head of the household and incur his displeasure.

  "Seventh Young Master, are you awake?" Pres asked in a low voice. Normally, these should be servants or household robots attending to him, but given the young master's astonishing actions just now, it was more convenient for Kong Wu, the powerful warrior, to handle unexpected situations.

  Ning Kang blinked his eyes, pursed his lips and nodded, slowly propping up his body.

  Pu Re thought that Seventh Young Master seemed to have changed a bit, but thinking of yesterday's events, he didn't say anything and just walked over to the closet, pressed the small beige button with his hand, and the closet automatically popped out a set of casual shirts and pants.

  Ning Kang arrived, and should now be called Duan Chu. He had been sizing up Pres with his peripheral vision, and when he turned his back, he let out a slight sigh of relief.

  After a night, he had no choice but to accept the fact that he had mysteriously revived on an alien's body. Although he had the memories of this body, after all, it was still a different soul, and subtle movements would inevitably change, fortunately, the original owner was introverted and not valued at home, generally should not be able to see the changes, making it easier for Duan Chu to play the role with less pressure.

  Pures handed the clothes to Duan Chu, seeing that he was always slow and thought of the spiritual comforter he had mistakenly taken, which was specifically for warriors with strong physical conditions, and couldn't help but soften his heart, taking the initiative to walk up and help him put on his clothes.

  Everyone knows that Duanjia's Seventh Young Master lost his mother at a young age. At the age of ten, he took the spiritual power test and was only slightly higher than E-level, with a result of D-level. In the Duan family where everyone else is A or B level, he is basically a useless person. The contract is his only hope for rising up. Perhaps he himself also knows that this hope is slim, as he never likes to speak and always looks gloomy. Only when he sees Mengjia's Eldest Young Master, Meng Jia-yi, will he reveal a slight smile.

  "Thank you!" Duan Chuxin put on his clothes and thanked Pres, but his heart was a bit sour.

  His family was overjoyed by the gift of a speech synthesizer from the Demosians. Now he could speak, but his family and friends couldn't hear him. Even though Duan Chu hadn't been able to go out yet, just looking at the double moon reflection and memories of his original body, he knew he wasn't on familiar Earth anymore.

  The young man's voice was low and hoarse, but his tone was very sincere. Presley blinked his eyes, smiled slightly, and awkwardly waved his hand: "Seven Young Master is being polite."

  Duan Chu saw the other's distant expression, nodded and followed his memory to the bathroom in the suite. He didn't care about Pres' vigilance. In an unfamiliar environment, trying to win people over as a "waste" was not only useless but also laughable. His thanks were simply genuine gratitude.

  Clear water flowed through his hands, and Duan Chu splashed a little on his face, cutting off the flow. It seemed that on the planet of Ibiza, water resources were extremely scarce, and usually needed to clean something, they directly used various auxiliary purification devices.

  He lifted his head, and the young man in the mirror had black hair and eyes, with features that were no longer as delicate as they used to be. However, he still had a clear brow and bright eyes, a straight nose and thin lips, and was slightly immature and inexperienced, which should be due to his age. Although even the original owner despised this body for having too low spiritual energy, being a useless good-for-nothing with no future prospects, Ning Kangzhi's Duan Chuyi was very satisfied. Being able to live healthily was the greatest capital.

  As for the issue of spiritual power, although on this planet, people, except for those who are lucky enough to become warriors or contractors, measure a person's development potential based on their high or low spiritual power. However, Earthlings do not have this concept of high or low spiritual power, and even if there is such a thing as innate talent, with the help of hard work and perseverance, he will not end up like the original host, despairing and abandoning his precious life.

  Duan Chu finished his personal hygiene and walked out of the bathroom slowly when Pres had already set up all the dishes.

  A transparent cup was filled with colorful drinks, a thick and pure white meat soup with a few strands of green onions, and several slices of bread-like pancakes. Golden-roasted meat emitted a fragrant aroma, and the color, fragrance, and taste were all perfect. However, for Duan Chu, who was used to eating plain porridge and small dishes in the morning, it wasn't that wonderful.

  Duanchu sat down calmly and quietly, hastily eating a few pieces of bread and drinking a cup of beverage, without even touching the meat soup and roasted meat that his original body loved to eat.

  He also understood that his original body had just experienced a sudden change in emotions and was severely injured, so even if he did something out of character, it wouldn't be too suspicious. Now he only has poor appetite, which definitely won't arouse suspicion. He can't imitate others' lives forever, and this time after the emotional injury, being cut off from all contact is a reasonable excuse.

  To say that Duan Chu wants to live, but not in a humiliating way. To be precise, in his past life, apart from being murdered by conspiracy and physical disability, he was always pampered and never suffered any grievances. Now, he doesn't even have a goal for living, how can he just live for the sake of living as the self-abased Duan Chu?

  "For the next few days, breakfast will not include meat." Duan Chu looked at Presley's neat and tidy cleaning and suddenly instructed him. Seeing that he had acknowledged it, he added another sentence: "Wait for me in the library later and bring some books to me."

  The original owner had just passed his 18th birthday, with a mind full of pessimistic thoughts. The clearest memories were those of interactions with Meng Jiaxuan, while Duan Chu was just following along and didn't really understand many things. Unable to go online or ask outsiders, reading books became the best option.

  Puレス stopped for a moment, this one woke up and didn't make a fuss, wouldn't he still be thinking about doing something?

  Duan Chu looked calmly at Pres, ignoring his hesitation, and proposed in a gentle tone: "You can go ask my father for his opinion first, and once he agrees, bring it over."

  Pu Rui was surprised at Duan Chu's understanding of human relationships and hurriedly responded with a bow: "Thank you, Seventh Young Master, for your consideration!"

  When he was about to leave, he saw Duan Chu's calm and collected demeanor and couldn't help but probe with a sentence: "Seventh Young Master, why not get some books on medicine for you? After all, you've just taken the Mind Concentration Potion, and you can understand your current physical condition."

  Duan Chu looked at Pres with a smile that wasn't quite a smile. This guard really didn't trust him. "Although I'm not much use, the Duan family should have no shortage of doctors who understand the effects of medicine, so I don't need to study these specifically."

  Pu Rui was taken aback and hastily lowered his head, only to discover that the Seventh Young Master, who had lost all hope in front of him, was unexpectedly a person with a clear mind.

  Duan Chumu saw off the guards and walked around the room a few times before lying back on the bed, panting, staring blankly into space.

  He suddenly realized a problem. Since the original body was an ordinary person with low mental strength and had not received special military training, how could he easily enter the heavily guarded medicine room?

  It's worth noting that the Duan family is not an ordinary household. Not to mention the main branch of the Duan family in the capital planet, even the Duan family stationed on the planet Ibiza has a strong military background. Duan Chuyi's grandfather was a high-ranking general who held significant power on the planet and was also a seventh-level warrior at the peak of his physical abilities. Duan Chuyi's father, Duan Zhi, was also a sixth-level general. The defense of the Duan family is as solid as a military fortress.

  So, the pharmacy related to the Warrior's explosion crisis is not a place where the original body can sneak in. How could it be so coincidental that they picked up the wrong thing and took the Warrior's concentrated spirit agent, only to be discovered after drinking it?

  Duan Chu thought of Duan Ya Qing's obvious unease and the original owner's final collapse, and couldn't help but rub his temples.

  Replace the evolution agent, and it's possible for the original body to become a acquired warrior? But the spiritual power value of the original body itself is low, whether or not becoming an acquired warrior is unimportant, unless that low spiritual power value is unrealistic?

  Duan Chuma immediately vetoed this speculation, as the spiritual power test here was jointly supervised by the Military Department, the Senate and the Imperial Family, because it involved Awakeners. Not to mention the Duan family, a meritorious aristocratic family, even the imperial family with overwhelming power could not manipulate the spiritual power test, unless no test had been conducted at all. But in fact, the original owner did undergo the test when he was ten years old.

  Then there's another possibility, which is to let the original body drink the mind-clearing agent. This agent not only makes the original body's father disgusted with him but also completely cuts off any contact between the original body and Mo Jiaxi.

  Duan Chu raised his eyes, and that Duan Ya Qing obviously came on purpose to put on a show, and specifically mentioned the engagement banquet, definitely very wary of the original master. As for other people, they may also have realized the suspicion of mistakenly taking medicine, but because the original master's spiritual power value is not worth mentioning, and no one died, so no one stood up for him. As for the original master's father Duan Zhi Xiu, Duan Ya Qing's initial sentence of concern was undoubtedly said to him.

  This body is now plagued with problems, and if the many hidden dangers are not resolved, it's possible that one day I'll lose my life again. A scene from before his death flashed in his mind, and a cold glint flashed in Duan Chu's eyes, instantly erasing the youthful look on his face.

  The "beep beep" alarm light on the bedside table suddenly lit up in yellow, indicating a request to see.

  Duan Chu gathered his unusual emotions, thought for a moment, and curiously stretched out his hand to poke the warning light. The door in Duan Chu's line of sight suddenly became transparent, and a uniformed Pres stood at the door, holding a box, next to him was that cunning Duan Ya Qing.

  "Come in!"

  Duanchu's voice was light and soft, her hand lightly sweeping across a row of small buttons under the warning lights.

  The door slid open automatically, and Duan Ya Qing walked in with elegant steps, her eyebrows and eyes smiling, her demeanor calm and composed. She was indeed charming and pleasing to the eye. Pres fell two steps behind her, his gaze clear and upright, without a hint of infatuation in his eyes.

  Duan Chu's expression didn't change, having already determined that the person was an enemy. Duan Chu really wasn't in the mood to put on a show with Duan Ya Qing. He didn't even give her a glance, quietly staring at the small box in Pres's hand that could only be used for storing data.

  In the original master's memory, the books of Yiwesa planet were extremely precious and velvet-like. Even after the popularization of holographic projections and interstellar networks, these became exclusive collections of the royal family and various large families. It was within Duan Chuyi's expectations that Duan Zhiran couldn't bear to take them out.

  However, if Duan Chuyi's memory was correct, the label on that box actually read: Ha-Va-Xing-Zhi-Li-Yi-Gui-Fan?

  Duan Yaqing's smile stiffened, Duan Chu had seen her before and didn't even dare to lift his head. Even when he heard that she and Meng Jiaxuan were preparing to get engaged, he only dared to cry and beg Meng Jiaxuan, then secretly think of ways to steal the potion. Now that he was locked in his bedroom by his father, he actually still dared to ignore her?

  Duanyaqing warned with a glance at Pres who was behind her, turned back with a gentle smile, her red lips slightly opened, and said softly: "I happened to be at Dad's place, heard that you wanted to read books, thought you should have opened up, felt happy in my heart, and followed Pres over."

  She took the box that Pres had been holding in his hand and placed it in front of Duan Chu, with a worried face saying: "Don't be angry either, Dad gave you this card holder, also for your own good." Duan Ya Qing paused, with a kind-hearted comfort: "Not blaming you for being ill-mannered."

  Duan Chu finally shifted his gaze to Duan Ya Qing, unexpectedly curling up the corners of his lips and saying: "Of course I know this, I'm not like you, I was raised in the Duan household since childhood, how could Father accuse me of being uneducated?"

  Duan Yaqing's smile could no longer be maintained, her face filled with tears, she turned around and was about to leave.

  A slow and drawling voice came from behind: "You don't have to worry, although the Bai family only teaches their daughters to remember that warriors have wives, but you've been back at the Duan house for over a decade, with your grandmother's guidance, the engagement banquet shouldn't go wrong!"
