Chapter 8 Please grant me strength
"You're bleeding!" Lin Shishi rushed out, her nurse's instincts telling her to check Qin Chuan's wound immediately.
But the bloodstains were so scattered that she couldn't immediately tell which were the real wounds.
"Where are you hurt? Let me see." Lin Shishi reached out to pull off Qin Chuan's clothes.
Qin Chuan took a step back and waved his hand.
"Now is not the time to look at my injuries. I can't beat that beast; the difference in strength is too great."
Fan Yubing panicked: "What should we do? What if it chases after us?"
Qin Chuan dangled one arm, pretending to be unable to exert any strength. He lowered his head, gritted his teeth, as if making a very difficult decision.
"I have a solution, but I don't know if you'd be willing to try."
"What's the solution? Tell me quickly!" Fan Yubing's voice cracked.
Qin Chuan looked up at the two of them, a conflicted look in his eyes, and said, "I need the power of love, otherwise we'll all die!"
"The power of love?" Lin Shishi asked, puzzled.
Upon hearing that they would all die, Fan Yubing quickly understood: "You mean we should go and consummate our marriage now? But... but it's too late! That wild boar could charge at any moment!"
Lin Shishi then realized that Qin Chuan wanted to express his "many children, many blessings" system.
Qin Chuan's jaw nearly dropped when he heard this. He thought to himself, "Wow, is it really that ruthless? Looks like I have to scare everyone a bit before things can move forward."
"No... I don't need it. I... all I need now is a kiss." Qin Chuan pretended to be struggling.
"Okay." Upon hearing this, Fan Yubing walked up without saying a word, cupped Qin Chuan's face in her hands, and gave him a deep kiss.
"How is it? Did the system give you a reward?" Fan Yubing asked.
Qin Chuan was overjoyed. His back pain and leg soreness subsided, and his breathing became steady: "Great! It's here! The system has given me a reward! My injuries have healed automatically, and my strength and speed have been enhanced!"
Fan Yubing breathed a huge sigh of relief, her shoulders slumping: "Great! Go quickly! Go and take care of that beast!"
Qin Chuan nodded, then turned and ran towards the beach, shouting as he ran, "You beast, come on, I'll show you what I'm made of!"
Fan Yubing and Lin Shishi stood at the tent entrance, watching Qin Chuan's figure disappear into the moonlight.
Lin Shishi gripped her sleeve tightly, her voice trembling, "Sister Fan, Brother Chuan... can he handle it?"
Fan Yubing didn't answer, because she herself didn't know.
When she kissed Qin Chuan just now, her mind went blank; she didn't have time to think about anything related to the system.
Her only thought was: if this man died, she and Lin Shishi, both injured, wouldn't survive more than three days in this godforsaken place.
So that kiss had no emotional component; it was purely a survival instinct.
At least that's what Fan Yubing told herself.
On the beach, Qin Chuan found the wild boar; it was injured and hadn't gone far.
The markings for the eye technique were still flashing in his field of vision: [Weakness: Rear buttocks; piercing this area results in instant death.]
Qin Chuan took a deep breath, gripped the folding knife tightly in his right hand, and planted his feet firmly on the sand.
Then he rinsed it.
The temporary speed boost allowed him to reach the wild boar's rear in two seconds. By the time the beast turned around at the sound, it was too late. Qin Chuan darted forward, pinning its hindquarters, raised his right hand high, and thrust the knife downwards.
The folding knife pierced the soft part of the wild boar's hindquarters, the entire blade disappearing into the flesh, leaving only the hilt sticking out.
The wild boar let out a heart-wrenching scream, its four hooves thrashing wildly at the ground, and its body began to convulse violently.
Qin Chuan gripped the knife handle tightly, swaying back and forth as the wild boar flailed around him, but he refused to let go.
A dozen seconds later, the wild boar's struggles weakened, and finally, with a thud, it collapsed to the ground.
Qin Chuan rolled off the wild boar and lay on the beach, panting heavily.
It's done.
Qin Chuan lay there for about half a minute before getting up.
The wild boar lay on its side on the sand, its four legs still twitching slightly, its belly rising and falling a few times before it went completely still.
Qin Chuan pulled the folding knife out of its rear end; the blade was covered in blood and grease, sticky and slimy.
The pupil technique automatically scanned the area:
[Otherworldly Wild Boar, Level 2 Ingredient, Dead. Tender meat with moderate fat content, edible.]
Qin Chuan squatted down next to the wild boar, bent down, put his hands under the boar's belly, took a deep breath, and with a burst of strength, lifted the 300-pound behemoth onto his shoulder.
My knees bent slightly, but I held on.
The moment Qin Chuan straightened his back, a thought flashed through his mind: without the system's reward, he definitely couldn't have carried this weight. Back in martial arts school, the heaviest weight he could squat was just over 200 pounds. Now, carrying a 300-pound dead pig was strenuous, but not to the point of collapse.
Qin Chuan carried the wild boar and walked step by step toward the camp.
After walking about fifty or sixty meters, the outline of the tent came into view. The campfire had dwindled to a smoldering ember.
The banana leaves at the tent entrance were lifted, and Fan Yubing was the first to emerge.
The moment she saw Qin Chuan, her mouth dropped open.
That scene was indeed visually impactful.
Under the blue moonlight, a man with one bare arm carried a wild boar wider than himself on his shoulder, walking step by step. His body was covered in blood and sand, but his back was straight.
"My God..." Fan Yubing was stunned.
Lin Shishi peeked out from behind Fan Yubing and was stunned when she saw what was happening.
Qin Chuan walked to the campfire, bent down and slammed the wild boar to the ground with a "bang," sending sand flying everywhere.
He straightened up, rubbed his back, and muttered, "I weigh over 300 pounds; I almost threw my back out."
Fan Yubing and Lin Shishi walked over and circled the wild boar.
Fan Yubing squatted down and looked at the wild boar's head. Its two tusks gleamed white in the moonlight, each as long as an adult's forearm.
She reached out and touched the tip of the fangs, then quickly withdrew her hand.
"You really killed such a big pig all by yourself?"
Qin Chuan nodded, wiping the blood off his folding knife on his trouser leg: "Yes, that was close. If it weren't for your attack..."
Qin Chuan paused deliberately and glanced at Fan Yubing.
Fan Yubing's face flushed red in the firelight.
"If it weren't for your kiss just now, I wouldn't have been strong enough to get close to it. To be honest, you saved my life. And you saved all three of our lives."
Hearing Qin Chuan attribute all the credit to her, Fan Yubing was very happy. She said, "It's what I should do."
Qin Chuan almost laughed when he heard this.
This girl doesn't know how to be humble at all, even though she did all the work herself.
But it's all good; the myth of "many children, many blessings" has been resolved.
At this moment, Lin Shishi walked up to Qin Chuan and looked up at him.
The moonlight shone on her face, making her nose appear red and her eyes glistening with tears. She had wanted to cry since she peeked out of the tent, but had been holding it in until now.
"Brother Chuan, when you were outside fighting that pig, I heard you yelling from inside the tent. I thought you were going to die."
Lin Shishi's voice was trembling.
"I was thinking, if you die, neither Sister Fan nor I will be able to survive."
Qin Chuan felt a pang of pity as he watched Lin Shishi's tears well up in her eyes, but he also felt a strange sense of triumph.
Back on the cruise ship, he was just a security guard handing out towels and pouring water; these people wouldn't even give him a second glance.
Now, after fighting on the deserted island, he has become their "savior" and "only support".
This change in identity gave Qin Chuan a sense of exhilaration, like a serf finally being liberated and singing praises.
"Alright, alright, you're not dead, stop crying." Qin Chuan reached out and patted Lin Shishi's head twice.
Lin Shishi suddenly stepped forward, stood on tiptoe, wrapped her arms around Qin Chuan's neck, and pressed her lips directly against his.
Qin Chuan froze.
This time it was different from Fan Yubing's. Fan Yubing's kiss was an emergency "transaction," quick and decisive; their lips touched briefly before parting.
Lin Shishi's kiss was full of emotion.
After her lips pressed against his, she didn't immediately let go. Instead, she pressed down slightly, her lips opening and closing, her tongue tentatively touching Qin Chuan's lips before sliding inside.
Qin Chuan's mind went blank for about two seconds.
When Lin Shishi parted her lips, a thin strand of saliva appeared. She quickly wiped it away with the back of her hand, her ears turning bright red.
"I, Lin Shishi, am truly sincere towards you. Does the system offer any rewards now?" Her voice was soft and gentle.
Qin Chuan swallowed hard, his mind racing.
This girl was much more proactive than Fan Yubing, and she started with a French kiss right away.
However, the "Eat More, Be Happy" system didn't give any rewards, mainly because the cooldown time hadn't reached 12 hours yet.
"Yes." Qin Chuan nodded, his voice a half-tone lower than usual. "They gave it to me, and quite a lot."
"Really?" Lin Shishi's eyes lit up, glistening with tears.
Qin Chuan decided to put on a live performance to make the most of the effect.
He took two steps back, found an open space, squatted slightly, and then suddenly jumped up, reaching a height of two meters.
This is mainly because I ate some food during the day, which increased my strength.
Fan Yubing and Lin Shishi both tilted their heads back, their mouths wide open.
Qin Chuan landed with his knees slightly bent to cushion the impact, and then landed steadily.
"My God, you can jump that high?" Lin Shishi covered her mouth.
Fan Yubing's mouth opened and closed repeatedly, her expression shifting from shock to bewilderment.
Qin Chuan dusted the sand off his hands and looked at the two of them, saying, "Now you believe me, right? The 'Many Children, Many Blessings' System—you can become stronger just by kissing someone."
Fan Yubing did not refute this time.
She had just witnessed the whole process: Qin Chuan was chased by a wild boar, ran back and said he needed "the power of love", kissed it, ran back, killed the wild boar, and even carried the 300-pound dead boar back.
After Lin Shishi kissed him again, he jumped two meters high.
If you still say this is fake, then there's something wrong with your eyes.
Fan Yubing bit her lip and didn't say anything, but nodded slightly.
Seeing this subtle movement, Qin Chuan finally felt relieved.
It became.
