Alternate Dimension Game: Happiness is all that matters!

The next moment, Lu Tianming's eyes flashed. He spotted a deep cave in the bushes. The walls of the cave were very smooth and slightly sloped downward. As there was no light source, the cave was dark. He chuckled and pulled out a piece of fragrant beef jerky from his pocket.

"Today's meal depends on this!"

Beef jerky!

An irresistible temptation for life in this world!

Soon, a spherical object, attracted by the scent, appeared faintly inside the cave. It was very cautious, not knowing what the beef was, yet the enticing aroma drilled straight into its nostrils.

"Whoosh!" Lu Tianming threw the Rune Blade, hitting the spherical creature's brain. Thick fluid spurted out, polluting the surrounding air with a foul stench.

"This Slime tastes just like cowhide, though it's rich in collagen."

He stepped forward, picked up the shriveled sphere, drained the blood, cut open its abdomen, removed the head and tail, and took out the acidic gland. It was indefinable, but since it looked like a Slime, it could only be called Slime.

As long as it was edible and non-toxic, cooking it was akin to eating cowhide.

"Let's be frugal. A single Slime can last us a week." Old Qin massaged his sore calves and casually calculated a Gua Xiang.

His expression changed.

It was auspicious!

After so many days here, it was the first time they encountered good fortune!

"The Gua Xiang looks good. Shall we explore some more?"

"Let's do it." Lu Tianming finished processing the Slime. Despite his intense thirst, he was unwilling to drink the fishy slime liquid.

"I just thought of something. If we encounter indigenous people, how will we communicate with them?"

Old Qin said, "I exchanged for a translation earpiece and microphone at the Game Training Camp. 'Game' will help us translate."

"That's great. With the help of 'Game,' many past problems are no longer problems."

The two cautiously navigated the mountain path, moving past layers of rocky cliffs. After more than two hours,

suddenly, they heard the sound of rippling water.

They had actually found a stream!

It still rained in this world, albeit sparsely. Every bit of water was precious, let alone a stream like this.

Lu Tianming's face beamed with joy. They had been eating moss for days, and all their containers were empty.

Finding a stream suddenly was like a gift from heaven!

"I'll check if the stream is polluted. Don't do anything rash." Old Qin closed his eyes and used "Heavenly Element Skill," an Idealism ability that could enhance sensory perception.

The human body, as nature's most exquisite creation, when cultivated to the limit, was far more delicate than any instrument.

He picked up a small drop of stream water with a sharp needle and tasted it slightly with his tongue.

Instantly, his enhanced senses were fully activated.

If it were toxic, the nerve cells at the tip of his tongue would be first to be contaminated, allowing him to discern the toxicity with just a small sacrifice.

Old Qin pondered for a long time.

Apart from a slight sulfur smell, it was clean!

He opened his eyes, extremely delighted, and said, "It's similar to hot spring water; boil it, and we can drink!"

They quickly filled up their containers with water.

The crisis was averted. No more gnawing on moss.

Lu Tianming licked his dry lips, smiling, "Never thought I'd be so excited over a few bottles of water, but that's the fun of adventuring. Why else would we come here if not to challenge ourselves?"

"Old Qin, was that auspicious Gua Xiang because of this stream?"

"Perhaps. Let's follow the river."

They followed the river downstream. The water flow increased, turning the stream into a large river.

Both were very energetic, walking over fifty kilometers before they noticed something unusual on the shore… They had discovered human civilization!

The local indigenous people actually lived in the caves along the riverbank!

...

...

"Without Big Cousin's help, just the two of us alone would hardly be able to save humanity!" In the vast cave, Xiao Yue finished a day of teaching, boredly gazing at the red moon in the sky.

"It's been a year and a half, and Old Wang still hasn't returned."

Although a year and a half was a short period, she couldn't help but worry.

The incredibly strong Xiao Ai was doing physical labor.

Inside the cave, over a hundred indigenous people, led by Xiao Ai, were dissecting a newly defeated Monster. They skillfully separated its claws, meridians, skin, fat, and chunks of meat. A Monster that size would feed the locals for half a month.

The humans of the Abyss World were primitive to the extreme, having developed no form of writing but only their own language.

Ultimately, it was because the anomalies here were too powerful and plentiful.

Humans were merely beings kept in captivity.

Even the several hundred people in this cave were those they had struggled to rescue from the Monsters' grasp.

"Captain's old friend has arrived—should we greet him?" Xiao Ai said expressionlessly.

"But the Captain isn't around," Xiao Yue replied. "Maybe you should do the greeting?"
