(Two in one) “God’s hand tears apart the darkness. The rain falls, the fine sand under your feet turns into hard cement, and the oasis is within reach…”
…
He slept very soundly all night. He doesn’t know if his deep sleep during the day has replenished his body’s needs, but when Lu Liran woke up naturally, he was still groggy.
The skyline in the distance seems to be covered with a layer of pale golden mist, which light cannot penetrate, so the world is still so dark.
Lu Liran got up from the hut, the bonfire outside was obviously burnt, but it was still burning brightly.
Lu Liran looked back at Ke Ji who was lying in the hut, and saw that the man also opened his eyes, and his eyes fell on him.
The peeper was discovered, but he did not panic at all. He got out of the hut, he put his coat on, then rubbed his hands, and asked Lu Liran very naturally: “Why did you get up?”
Lu Liran pulled the corners of his lips, and was interrupted by the other party. He was too embarrassed to ask the man why he was staring at him just now.
“I’m already awake, so I got up to take a look.” Lu Liran then lowered his voice, “What about you? How come you’re awake too? Is your wound still hurting?”
Ke Ji wanted to say that this little injury was just superficial, but when he heard Lu Liran mention it, he paused and nodded: “Just a little bit.”
He looked at Lu Liran.
As expected, Lu Liran frowned slightly, and beckoned Ke Ji to come over: “Show me.”
Ke Ji obediently walked in front of Lu Liran, and squatted obediently in front of Lu Liran.
Lu Liran’s fingers were cold, and when he touched the warm skin under the rolled up corner of his clothes, Ke Ji trembled slightly, and the touched skin immediately became sensitively heated.
Lu Liran was taken aback when he saw this, and immediately reacted——
In Ke Ji’s eyes, he’s still an Alpha. An unmarked Alpha lifted another unmarked Omega’s clothes, this, this, this, what a shame!
Lu Liran’s face became hot, and he quickly withdrew his hand, somewhat embarrassed and ashamed. When he looked back at Ke Ji, who was in a daze and doubt, he couldn’t help but become a little angry.
“Lift your own clothes!” He shouted in a low voice.
Ke Ji pursed his lips in disappointment, not understanding why he was deprived of the benefit of having his clothes lifted by the man, but he had no choice but to roll up his clothes reluctantly.
He raised his hand a little higher, but he pulled the wound. He took a light breath, and Lu Liran took over the movement of rolling his clothes.
Lu Liran had a stinky face: “Forget it, you are clumsy. You can even tear up your own wound just by rolling up your clothes.”
He didn’t know how the previous wound was bandaged, Lu Lirna saw that Ke Ji’s close-fitting quick-drying clothes were sticking to the wound, and the fibers of the clothes were tearing the wound open. No wonder Ke Ji just raised his hand just now and the wound was pulled.
Suddenly, a suffocation hit his chest, and he almost scolded Qin Qi.

Ke Ji raised his eyebrows. In the conservation forest, the person, who tossed himself into passing out that night, was not him.
Lu Liran saw the allusion in Ke Ji’s eyes, and snorted coldly.
——His situation is different from that of Ke Ji, so they cannot be compared.
He treated Ke Ji’s wound again. Before that, Qin Qi distributed some medical medicine, including gauze and wound medicine, which can be changed.
Lu Liran’s bandaging technique is very skillful, even better than Qin Qi’s.
——After all, he is a bounty hunter, who has been going in and out of No man’s land. If he doesn’t know how to bandage his own wounds, it’s too unreasonable.
Ke Ji couldn’t help frowning: “That night in the conservation forest, why did you toss yourself like that?”
Lu Liran rolled his eyes, is this even a human question?
He snorted coldly: “I didn’t torment myself on purpose, why would I feed myself to the point of busting?”
Hearing his words, Ke Ji turned his head to look at Lu Liran, and heard another meaning unconsciously brought out by the other party’s words.
But Lu Liran did not intend to share his “old disease”. After treating the wound, he rubbed his hands with sand to remove the blood and medicine smell from his hands, and said to Ke Ji: “Okay, the wound has been bandaged again. Alright, go back and rest.”
Seeing this, Ke Ji had no choice but to put aside his thoughts of questioning for the time being.
“Thank you.” Ke Ji stood up and extended a hand to Lu Liran, who was sitting in front of the campfire, with his eyes curved in a smile.
Lu Liran paused, he curled his lips and took Ke Ji’s hand, and stood up with the strength of the other party.
Just as the two were about to go back to the hut, Ke Ji suddenly noticed an unusual light from the corner of his eyes.
His nerves tensed, and his steps stopped suddenly.
On their oblique side, two faint green lights were hidden in the darkness.
Ke Ji silently touched the machete at his waist, his gaze turned cold—— it was that sentry wolf again.
Seeing Ke Ji stop, Lu Liran realized it immediately. He followed closely and saw the sentry wolf cautiously walking out from the dark place far away.
——Still in a pitiful appearance, with its head bowed and ears folded back.
Lu Liran: “……”
Why is it you again!!
The sentry wolf, more than two meters tall, approached slowly. Not to mention anything else, it still has this sense of oppression.
Ke Ji took a step forward, he drew out the machete that was as long as a forearm from his waist, and positioned it across his chest.
Seeing this, the sentry wolf actually stopped, and stayed at a place more than ten meters away, not approaching, but it also did not intend to back down, and let out a soft whimper.
Lu Liran frowned fiercely, he pulled the man back, and said with a sullen face: “What kind of heroic Omega are you, go back.”
“Host, it has been detected that the sentry wolf has no intentions to attack.” The system reminded suddenly.
Lu Liran was a little surprised. His system has always had a low sense of presence. In other words, apart from posting tasks and clearing progress, it rarely speaks out on its own initiative.
He narrowed his eyes slightly, waiting for the system to obediently pour the beans.
“The host can use 500 grams of Buddha Belly Oil Artemisia gum to exchange for a follower slot from the system.” The system then explained conscientiously, “Any creature can be included in the follower slot, and the included creature is absolutely impossible to harm the host or disobey the host’s order.”
“If the host has insufficient resources to exchange, you can also use the poisonous glands of the two-horned Kuilong snake to exchange.” The system supplements it automatically in place, earnestly and authentically.
Lu Liran raised his eyebrows, sure enough. His previous guess about the system was correct, the system does have demand for special products.
The corner of his mouth curled, this follower sounded like an accompanying battle pet, not bad, but maybe a little more value could be squeezed out.
He responds to the system in his head: “It’s going to cause other people to panic when it follows me, and I have no proper reason to convince others that it’s safe. There’s not much value in redeeming it.”
“No, no, no, it has a high value.” The system repeated nervously.
“After the host has successfully exchanged the follower slot, it can be stored in the follower slot, it is equivalent to the egg carrier of an interstellar beast, which can accommodate living creatures. It can be released when needed, and the recall requires the host to manually touch the recall. In addition, the system will also cover the host, so that no one will find anything abnormal!” It throws out a constant stream of excellent conditions and follows the path of enticement.
“Will it starve to death?” Lu Liran suddenly asked a question that was beyond the system’s expectations.
The system got stuck, it hesitated, but still said honestly: “Yes.”
“Then I still have to raise it to eat and drink, in a place like the Salba Desert where no one can survive? Do you think I will replace it with the venom gland of the two-horned Kuilong snake?” Lu Liran sneered, and the tone of his question made the system feel that its IQ was not enough.
The system whirled into a ball, always feeling that the exchange item in hand was about to fly.
It pitifully tested Lu Liran: “Then no venom glands? Three hundred grams of Artemisia gum is enough. And it is quite resistant to hunger and water, after all, it is a desert creature. You can wait until you return to a civilized society, and then get some water and meat to feed it.”
“It doesn’t cost money to buy meat?” Lu Liran asked rhetorically again, he knew the temperament of Zhou the exploiter very well.
System: “……”
It replied weakly: “It costs money…” It takes a lot of meat to raise a wilderness wolf.
The system can’t help but think, if it was in his place, it would definitely not exchange it for follower slot.
It immediately follows up: “I can provide the host with an additional free service to repair any disabilities of the follower creatures. Although this wilderness wolf looked thin and weak, its ability was actually no less than that of the wolf king. But because of a congenital gene defect in one of its hind legs, it became a sentry wolf.”
“If you put it in the follower slot, I can fix this genetic problem! The host will have a wolf king-level follower.”
“Like a follower beast at the level of a beast master, the value of the exchanged items will be higher, such as low-level economic crops such as artemisia gum, at least one ton, or the severed tail of a sand dragon, is an item of this level.”
“Exchange it, host, the blood money will definitely not be lost.” The system is almost writing its desire towards the exchange items on its face.
Lu Liran raised the corner of his mouth.
He said: “That’s not as good as this. I can also exchange the poisonous glands of the two-horned Kuilong snake for you, but in exchange, I want to make sure that the sentry wolf can be summoned at any time without any hand restrictions.”
“Yes, yes.” The system responded hastily.
This is a bit difficult, but it is not as difficult as repairing it. As long as it upgrades its version with the exchange items, it can drill into the technological domain network of a high-tech planet, learn the repair and recall technology, and it can work hard to make a copy for the host to use.
Lu Liran exchanged 300 grams of Artemisia gum and the venom glands of the two-horned Kuilong snake for the follower slot, planning to let it hunt outside to make a living, and occasionally give it preferential treatment.
He looked at the sentry wolf, and saw that the sentry wolf suddenly shook its tail vigorously, its ears were pushed up even more joyfully, its wolf eyes almost narrowed, and what was written on its face: Happy.
Lu Liran：“……”
“The host can name the follower, which is more conducive to cultivating a tacit understanding between humans and animals. The higher the tacit understanding, the more the follower can understand the host’s thoughts, and it will cooperate with attacking more smoothly.” Reminded the system.
Lu Liran was silent, looking at the two-meter-tall wilderness wolf with airplane ears and wagging tail, why was it so happy being subdued by humans?
Lu Liran always felt strange and suspected that it was the system’s fault.
He pursed his lips and named it: “…Big Wolf.”
System：“……”
It heard the voice of the host, and quickly clarified: “The system cannot change the thoughts of planetary creatures, everything is based on the principle of voluntariness.”
“As a sentry wolf and because of a congenital genetic disability, Big Wolf is the lowest wolf in the wolf pack. It was severely injured by the host and the root of its nose was broken, if it returned to the wolf pack, it would only end up being kicked out of the wolf pack. It is difficult for a lone wolf away from a pack to live alone in a place like Salba.”
“Besides, the host didn’t kill Big Wolf, it’s like a duel between wolves, it’s only about ranking high and low, competing for the status of wolf king, without endangering your life. So Big Wolf may have misunderstood, thinking that the host wanted to form a new wolf pack, so it followed the host.”
After Lu Liran finished listening, he couldn’t help but sigh in his heart.
Big Wolf’s IQ doesn’t seem to be very high. They are one person and one beast, and they are clearly separated by race. Why did it think he is going to form a new small group?
The road to raising wolves is long and far away.
Big wolf has indeed been added to the team! 🥳🥳🥳
haha so cute when it was wagging it’s tail like an eager puppy! Welcome to the team Big Wolf! 😊
So new pet now.
Hahahaha the wolf wanting to form a pack is so cute
ITS A DOGGO!
THE PET SLOT HAS OPENED AND NOW HE HAS A DOG!
Yay, I’m not sure why I’m feeling so happy, maybe because after the fight, the desert wolf has only appeared in my mind’s eye along with sad puppy noises.
If Ke Ji just standing back, watching this wild animal do its best to look like a sad puppy trying to get adopted while Lu Liran is just 😐😒😐
Time for system to do the jedi mind trick, you did not see a wolf here.
Thank you for the chapter.
I don’t think Big Wolf is that stupid, it chose maybe death over certain death.
Ke Ji has some competition for attention I fear.
Also, my kids named our dog Lampshade, so I can’t complain about anyone else’s naming sense.
Aw sweet lampshade 😂😂 we named my childhood dog coco because she smelled like coconuts when we brought her home 😭
Love coco. 😄
😄
Big Wolf puppy has been added to the team! The team may be not so thrilled… Thanks for the update 🤣❤️🤣❤️🤣❤️🐺👀👀👀
This pet is actually perfect for Lu Liran and it says a lot 😂 Zai Zai, your daddy will bring you your so desired dog !
Thank you so much for the frequent updates Sunny, I’m so thankful for everything you’re offering us ♡♡♡
Omg, just thinking about zaizai playing with bug wolf is so wholesome. Hopefully wolfie can control its strength and not hurt zaizai.
Ahah right! I’m sure Big Wolf will be gentle. Well, given the fact that Lu will be watching them at all time, it won’t have any other choice keke.
Gaaah~ I’m happy that Da Lang joined the team :3 The desperate struggle of the system to sell a wolf to LLR was funny lol But I can understand his points. That’s one of the reasons why I don’t have an animal here, no money. And that would be irresponsible towards any kind of animal. Give your wolfie a big hug from me and cuddle it for me :3
Thx for the ch (ㅅ˘ㅂ˘)
I kinda wanna just call him Dalang~ it rolls better in my imaginary tongue in my head
DOGGO FOR THE CUB LET’S GOOO ψ(｀∇´)ψ
Thanks for the translation ❤
Lol system is dying for items. İt’s so strange, it can reach everywhere and cure a wolf but can’t have some items. Why does it even need these?
Omg it’s so cute. I can imagine big wolf acting like a spoiled puppy happy his owner is home
