Chapter 1 The Beginning of a Catastrophe?
"Go back and eat more good food. If you have any unfulfilled wishes, do them as soon as possible."
The smell of disinfectant filled Bai Jing's ward. Qin Yi leaned on the bed and took the medical record handed by the doctor. He was in a trance.
He looked down and saw the four big words "late liver cancer" written on the medical record.
"You probably have three months..."
The doctor couldn't bear to read the boy's haggard and absent-minded appearance. After sighing secretly, he turned and left, leaving Qin Yi alone sitting in the intensive care unit.
"I'm going to die now...?"
Qin Yi put down the medical record. The severe pain from his abdomen made him tremble all over, and he curled up subconsciously.
At this moment, his heart was full of bitterness.
Just a few days ago, he was eating hot pot and singing with his friends, but he didn't expect that he would travel to this parallel world that was very similar to his previous life after waking up.
For Qin Yi, who often reads online articles, it is not difficult to accept the fact of traveling through time. When he just confirmed that he had traveled through time, he was excited for a while.
However, when he understood his own situation, he immediately lost his excitement.
According to the memories provided by the original owner, this world suddenly revived its spiritual energy a hundred years ago, and many "cave secret realms" appeared in the world and gradually merged into Blue Star, causing the area of Blue Star to expand dozens of times, and a large number of animals and plants mutated and turned into ferocious beasts.
In addition, alien races have gradually walked out of the cave secret realms, killing people on sight, as if they were aiming to devour humans, and had no intention of living in harmony at all.
As a result, a war broke out between the human race on Blue Star and the alien races and ferocious beasts, which has not been extinguished for a hundred years and is still in a stalemate today.
Human technological weapons are lethal to alien races and ferocious beasts, but not many.
As the war expanded, the alien races that walked out of the secret realms became more and more terrifying, and some of them could even resist strategic-level nuclear bombs with their bodies without any damage.
In the face of danger, the human scientists decisively changed their thinking and sent an adventure team to sneak into the secret realm. After decades of hard work, they finally developed several alien systems for becoming stronger, and based on this, they improved the "cultivation system" suitable for humans!
Warriors, martial artists, grandmasters, great grandmasters, mountain and sea realms, and king realms...
Generations of people have tried and sacrificed one after another, and with blood and tears, they have opened up a high martial arts road for the human race, giving the human race the hope of competing with the myriad races in the secret realm.
But unfortunately, all this has nothing to do with Qin Yi.
Maybe it was because his face was extremely dark. This body with the same name and surname as him could not be said to have poor martial arts qualifications, but it could only be said that it had no martial arts qualifications at all. It could not even cultivate 5 cards of qi and blood, let alone be admitted to the martial arts university.
In addition, he could not understand what he was reading. At the age of 18, he went to the factory for three years and suffered from liver cancer.
Without a father or a mother, no car or house, the only remaining savings were spent on treatment.
What kind of divine punishment is this?
It's such a pain, it's better not to travel through time!
The pain in his abdomen eased temporarily, Qin Yi licked his cracked lips, climbed up from the bed with difficulty, prepared to go through the discharge procedures, and went home to wait for death.
He had no money to continue to stay in the hospital.
After a lot of trouble, the increasingly weak Qin Yi finally returned to the dim and cramped rental house before collapsing.
"Cough cough cough..."
Lying flat on the wooden bed, Qin Yi coughed violently, as if he was going to cough out his soul.
The crazy spreading cancer cells were destroying his body and wiping out his vitality.
"Damn it, I finally traveled through time, but I'm going to die without experiencing anything."
"Can you give me another chance to travel through time, so that I can cultivate an invincible body, not to mention cancer, even the kind that can blow up a star with one punch!"
Recalling the online novels he had read in his previous life, he murmured unwillingly.
At this moment, something strange happened!
The dark ceiling in Qin Yi's eyes suddenly flickered, and then a light screen that looked like a projection suddenly appeared!
[Name: Qin Yi (dying)]
[Race: Planetary Human]
[Strength: 2] (The average of the four attributes of ordinary adult humans is 5)
[Constitution: 1]
[Agility: 2]
[Spirit: 3]
[Talent: Adaptive Cell Evolution! ]
[Skills: None]
[Combat Power Rating: Not as good as the wild dogs in the alley downstairs, they may die after running two steps. ]
…
This is… a digitized personal panel?
My gold finger has arrived?
Qin Yi was happy, but soon became gloomy.
Judging from his four attributes, he who has been tortured by cancer for a long time is really dying. The constitution that symbolizes vitality and recovery is only 1 point left.
At this time, is it still useful to awaken the gold finger?
Qin Yi tried to cheer up, focusing his attention on the [Talent] column, and fell into deep thought when he looked at the term "Adaptive Cell Evolution".
What does this talent mean?
Can my cells adapt to environmental changes and evolve in a targeted manner?
He forced himself to calm down and think, but the pain brought by the disease came again, the pain that tore his soul made his facial features twisted into a ball, and his mind was in chaos.
Cancer is not only a torture for people's bodies, but also a mental disorder.
Qin Yi still has 3 points of energy left, which is definitely optimistic and cheerful, with a very good mentality.
"In the last life, I suffered from 996 internal circulation, and in this life, I suffer from illness. Can't life be happier and easier?"
"Hiss... I wish I was a masochist. Now that I am in so much pain, I guess I can roll my eyes with pleasure."
Sweat soaked the bed sheet. Qin Yi gritted his teeth and squeezed out a few complaints from his throat.
But complaining didn't make him feel better.
Under the terrible pain, his consciousness slowly sank, and finally fainted.
Time passed by minute by minute, and in a trance, he realized that the pain from his body seemed to be gradually fading away.
In the dark vision, two lines of white words emerged and reflected in his mind.
[Your cells have successfully adapted to cancer and evolved a passive skill-cell proliferation recovery LV2! ]
[Your nerve cells have successfully adapted to the seventh level of pain and evolved a passive skill-pain tolerance LV3! ]
Cell adaptive evolution... So this is what it means?
The pain from the flesh finally dissipated, and it was replaced by a tingling feeling, as if countless buds were wriggling in the body and intertwining with each other.
Qin Yi's consciousness returned to the body, and he suddenly opened his eyes and raised himself up from the bed.
"Heh... Heh..."
He gasped heavily, his chest rose and fell violently, and he felt like he had just woken up from a dream.
I survived?
He looked down at his body, and all the pain brought by cancer seemed to disappear. He felt as if he had unloaded a heavy burden and was extremely relaxed.
With a thought, his personal panel popped up and fixed in front of him.
[Name: Qin Yi (Hungry)]
[Race: Planetary Human (2%)]
[Strength: 3]
[Constitution: 8]
[Agility: 3]
[Spirit: 6]
[Talent: Adaptive Cell Evolution]
[Skills: Cell Proliferation Recovery LV2, Pain Tolerance LV3]
[Combat Power Rating: Possessing the physical recovery ability comparable to that of a second-stage warrior, not afraid of pain, but weak in combat power, he is a top-quality backup ingredient for the fierce beasts! 】
"I really adapted to cancer!"
"And by adapting to cancer and pain, I also evolved two passive skills."
Qin Yi noticed that the entry after his name changed from "dying" to "hungry", which seemed to indicate his current state.
In addition, of the two passive skills evolved by cells, cell proliferation recovery should have greatly improved his physical attributes, while pain tolerance improved his mental attributes.
As for the improvement in strength and agility...it may also be caused by cell proliferation recovery, or it may just be that the cancer problem has been solved and the body has begun to recover towards the attributes of a normal person.
What a strong talent!
Although the evaluation of him on the personal panel was weird, he could compare with the second-stage warrior in terms of recovery, which was something he had never dared to think of before!
In short...
It's great to be alive.
Qin Yi breathed a sigh of relief, touched his shriveled stomach, and an extreme feeling of hunger surged in his heart.
The energy stored in his body was probably used for recovery. At this time, he looked like a dried corpse.
He quickly got out of bed and wanted to go to the kitchen to get something to eat to fill his stomach, but he stopped after taking a few steps.
"My cells can gradually adapt to cancer and illness, and evolve corresponding talents..."
"Then if I endure not eating or drinking, starving and thirsty, can I also play the effect of my talent?"
Thinking of this, Qin Yi forcibly suppressed his desire to eat and drink, sat cross-legged on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest.
Gurgle Gurgle——
The hunger in his stomach became more and more severe, and his dry throat was almost smoking, but for Qin Yi who had experienced the torture of cancer, these feelings were nothing and could be tolerated.
One hour, two hours, three hours...
As time passed, strange things happened.
Not only did his hunger and thirst not increase, but they gradually decreased, and finally maintained at a level that was neither painful nor itchy!
At this time, two lines of white words that only he could see appeared in front of him again.
[Your cells have successfully adapted to low energy intake and evolved a passive skill - Energy Saving LV1]
[Your cells have successfully adapted to the lack of water and evolved a passive skill - Flow Saving LV1]
It really worked!!!
