Cosmic Trading System

"You're awake?"

When Lin Yun opened his eyes, a surprised voice resounded.

It belonged to a girl with a pleasant voice, clear yet gentle.

"Where... am I?"

As soon as Lin Yun spoke, he discovered his throat was terribly dry, making his voice sound extremely hoarse.

"Ah——"

While speaking, Lin Yun subconsciously supported his body with his arms, attempting to sit up. However, the very next moment, he cried out in pain.

He was hurting, his entire body ached.

That was the only thing Lin Yun could feel right now.

Although he had screamed out unconsciously from the pain a moment ago, he managed to endure it soon after.

"Don't move, my brother said you've suffered severe internal injuries..." A girl hurriedly steadied Lin Yun's body, urging him to lay back down. The tone of the girl's voice was the same as the one he heard earlier.

Lin Yun raised his head to look at the girl.

Only then did Lin Yun notice that the girl was quite young, seemingly two or three years younger than him. Her delicate appearance was pleasing to the eye. Although not as stunningly beautiful as Xia Qingqing or Lin Mengmeng, she was still a beauty. The feebleness in her demeanor added an extra layer of charm, which resonated perfectly with her voice.

However, Lin Yun had a nagging feeling that he had seen her somewhere before. But no matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't place her.

At this moment, Lin Yun felt that his thinking capability was somewhat impaired, that his brain didn't feel comfortable if he tried to think too much. He had to stop thinking.

"You've been unconscious for three days, during which you hardly ate or drank anything. You must be thirsty, let me give you some water..." The girl brought a bowl of water from the side, scooped up a spoonful, and brought it to Lin Yun's lips as she spoke.

Upon seeing a strange girl feeding him water in such a manner, Lin Yun's face turned slightly red. He attempted to raise his hand to hold the spoon himself, but the moment he moved his arm, he felt an intense pain and his arm was trembling uncontrollably. Eventually, he gave up his intention to hold the spoon.

So, Lin Yun let the girl feed him five or six spoonfuls of water. Following that, she brought a bowl of simmered medicinal decoction to feed him.

"My brother said that your body can't handle medicine directly. Now, since you've had water, you should be able to take the medicine. The medicine is good for the internal injuries in your body..." She explained as she fed Lin Yun.

The spoon was already at his mouth. Lin Yun couldn't speak and could only continue drinking the medicine.

The fact that he had been unconscious for three whole days came as a shock to Lin Yun, implying that the girl and her brother must have discovered him days ago and that he might have been out even longer.

However, considering they didn't harm him during those three days, Lin Yun reasoned they had no ill intentions toward him.

This was also why Lin Yun drank the medicine directly.

Originally, Lin Yun wanted to ask if they had met before, but he abandoned this thought.

In one's lifetime, there are many people we come across, but it's not necessary to remember every encounter. He might have seen this girl somewhere, but it doesn't mean they were familiar. There was no need to pursue this matter at this moment.

The most critical point was that his condition was precarious, and he couldn't risk revealing his identity. If he pushed for more information, some things might be difficult to explain.

So, in silence, Lin Yun finished the medicine quickly.

As he sipped the medicine, Lin Yun felt a warm sensation infuse his body, indicating that the concoction indeed had a healing effect. It seemed like the herbs started to activate some reserved medicinal energy in his body, aiding his quick recovery.

"Where is this place?" After finishing the medicine, Lin Yun looked up at the girl, asking.

After drinking water and the herbal decoction, Lin Yun's throat felt much better. Even though it was still slightly hoarse, it wasn't as dry anymore.

While speaking, Lin Yun looked around.

He realized that the bed he was lying on was quite simple. Below the worn-out mattress, there was some straw, and the blanket covering him was very old but clean.

The surrounding furniture was scant and coarse. The walls were made of ancient gray bricks which were clearly aging. Some plaster had begun to crumble, creating unevenness on the wall.

However, the air was quite suitable here. The bed he was lying on was next to a large window. The window was already open, afternoon sunlight spilling in, shedding warmth all around. There were big trees planted not far out, emanating a fresh scent that hit him right in his face.

It was obvious that he was in a room overlooking a courtyard.

"This is Lianshan Town, how do you feel now?" the girl asked with concern.

"I'm feeling much better, thank you and your brother for rescuing me..." Lin Yun said with a faint smile.

"No need for formalities. You... you rest well, I'll go wash the dishes." Upon hearing Lin Yun expressing his gratitude, the girl blushed slightly, frantically waved her hands, then picked up the dishes and left the room.

"Creak--"

The door was an old-fashioned one, it creaked similarly when the girl exited.

"Lianshan Town..."

Closing his eyes, Lin Yun began to look up information on Lianshan Town through the Cosmic Trading System.

Soon, Lin Yun obtained the information he needed.

Lianshan Town was roughly a thousand kilometers away from the location where the Martial Artist Tournament was held, and was also near the Kunlun Mountain Range, but in a different section.

Lin Yun nodded slightly.

When he was running away, he chose to avoid crowded places in fear of getting found and stirring up trouble. He had been running around in the mountains and didn't expect to be discovered by someone anyway. Fortunately, nothing bad happened.

Furthermore, the herbal medicine the other party had prepared for him was pretty good. It stimulated the medicinal effect within his body, aiding his body's recovery. Without the medicine, he estimated that it would have taken longer for him to regain consciousness.

Although he had protective gear on him, laying out in the wilderness for a long time wasn't ideal. There was no guarantee of what could happen.

Not to mention whether he would be discovered by the authorities or not, he was lying there wounded without water or food for days and might not have held on much longer.

In that regard, the girl and her brother had been a great help to him—almost life-saving, indeed.

"I was unconscious for about three and a half days. At the moment, I have approximately twenty-six thousand Spirit Crystals in my Cosmic Trading System..." Knowing his current location, Lin Yun's attention began to shift elsewhere.

With twenty-six thousand Spirit Crystals, he could do a lot.

It was enough for him to buy two robots with the strength of an Early Innate Stage Martial Artist.

Thinking of this, Lin Yun tried to communicate with Lin Tian, but soon, he sighed slightly in his heart.

As expected, Lin Tian had fallen.

From the information Lin Tian left him before falling, he learned that Lin Tian had blown himself up after charging into a full-scale battle with Taiyi once his energy was almost depleted, and another Innate level warrior from the Sky Group was closing in.

Unfortunately, Taiyi seemed to have anticipated his move and always kept his guard up. He wasn't close to him at that time and so likely wasn't injured.

Learning all this information, Lin Yun sank into deep thought.

The Sky Group once introduced another Innate Level Warrior, he certainly underestimated the Sky Group.

He didn't expect that there wouldn't be just one Innate Level Warrior, but two had appeared now, and who knew if there were more. He didn't know the extent of their power.

Lin Yun pondered for a bit and decided not to spend these twenty-six thousand Spirit Crystals yet.

Now, he wasn't clear about the strength of Sky Group, and he wasn't sure how to react. He decided to hold on to these Spirit Crystals and contemplate his response.

If the Sky Group did have a more powerful Innate Warrior, then even if he bought two Early Innate Stage Warrior robots now, it wouldn't mean anything.

"Bro, he's awake..."

Just then, an excited female voice came from the courtyard outside, along with a heavier sound of footsteps. Upon hearing the girl's voice, the footsteps hesitated for a brief moment.

"Hmm....." A male voice replied without saying much and continued walking in.
