Chapter 68: Today is a Day of Miracles!

Time ticked by, second by second.

Expectation began to wane; before things settled, there was always an indescribable anticipation.

After more than ten minutes, suddenly, the large metal sphere emitted a “ding” sound again.

Lu Yuan stood still, listening to the sound with a look of disbelief. It was somewhat crisp, yet it brought a whole new wave of hope.

It really was the sound of Mario collecting coins!!

Humans are really contacting me!

The humans on the other side can indeed receive my signal! It’s just that the screen on my end is broken.

After being stunned for a few seconds, Lu Yuan’s face flushed red, feeling as if his heart was about to leap out of his throat, as if flames were burning in his veins.

Deep in his heart, he was ecstatic: “Oh, my God, today is a day of miracles… God, I am your loyal believer from this day forward!”

“Awoo! Awoo!” The dog, seeing its owner’s excitement, howled frantically beside him.

“Do it again, the Mario jump sound… do it again.”

Lu Yuan kept confirming this fact, then viciously bit his tongue… Damn it, it hurts, it’s not a dream!

His emotions at this moment were like the tide, ebbing and flowing, fearing that his joy would be short-lived.

“Stop, stop, stop, don’t act like a madman, it’s embarrassing!”

Lu Yuan, after all, possessed a Level 2 Transcendent Fire Seed. During the wait, the Transcendent Fire Seed suppressed his turbulent thoughts, allowing him to gradually calm down.

He subconsciously began to think about whether he had shown a bad image in front of the camera, whether he had made any indecent gestures?

“In the few months after picking up the big metal sphere, I’ve been making leather clothes and pants… there shouldn’t be any problems.”

The following months were a long, bleak winter, the problem… also not significant?

“That is, in front of the camera, I cooked and showed off my ingredients.”

“The rest of the time, this metal sphere was left in the trash room, nothing was filmed.”

As for his toilet, it was far away, he absolutely didn’t do anything indecent in front of the camera…

“Good thing nothing embarrassing happened!” Lu Yuan nodded slightly, quite satisfied with his performance.

As for the cringeworthy lines he had spoken in the past… no big deal… I, Lao Lu, am only 24 years old, no, 25, still a child.

Moreover, after creating the shield, he did provide the information of a “civilization milestone,” he was definitely a hero of humanity!

After the large metal sphere emitted a sound, there was no further sound.

Transmitting Morse code was almost impossible; both sides had different time dilation ratios. One second in the safe zone was equal to 100 seconds on Lu Yuan’s side.

This meant Lu Yuan had to wait a long time for a response, making communication between the two sides very inconvenient.

What were the humans in the safe zone doing?

Perhaps in a gunfight? In a spree of shoplifting? Or in completing a civilization milestone?

But no matter what, it must be bustling… at least there are fellow countrymen.

While Lu Yuan was alone.

The only thing he could hear and receive was the “ding” sound, like Mario collecting coins.

It was difficult for the humans on the other side to transmit more complex sounds.

But this single sound gave him a heartfelt sense of satisfaction!

It was like a dream, unreal…

Yet it was really happening.

Lu Yuan suddenly felt a pang of sadness, and a little aggrieved.

So he turned his head and fiercely pinched the flesh on the back of his hand, suppressing the tears in his eyes.

He didn’t want others to see him in a vulnerable state.

He should, and must, be a strong person…

He was the 18th human civilization branch!

Perhaps, he was even the strongest among humans!

The transcendent fire in his mind flickered slightly, directly suppressing these complex emotions.

This was also a small trick of using the transcendent fire, it could effectively suppress emotions, allowing him to remain calm in various environments.

After pondering for a moment, he slowly said to the metal sphere: “Ahem, I don’t know who contacted me, but it must be the higher-ups of human civilization.”

“If you can contact my parents, tell them I’m safe… just tell them I’m alive.”

“My life is pretty good now, since the flow of time is different, just consider it a long trip.”

“If you can’t contact them, then so be it…”

After a long wait, the metal sphere emitted a “ding” sound again, possibly a sign of agreement.

Lu Yuan took a few deep breaths; thousands of words weighed on his heart, but he didn’t know where to begin.

He fell silent, his mind a little muddled.

“The safe zone shouldn’t have been evacuated yet? Only a few days have passed?”

“My parents are doctors, they can survive in any environment… My sister is still in school, I don’t need to worry about her…”

“As for my grandparents, they’re not in Yunhai City… hey, I don’t need to worry too much about them.”

“I hope the government can take care of them, considering I provided some information.”

This one-sided communication felt…

Like posting a status on social media, but having no friends, only the legendary “cyber police” could see the post…

Well, the cyber police are also people!

It’s also a kind of communication.

Lu Yuan didn’t know who was listening to him. Was it scientists? Government officials? Or some soldier?

What did they look like, what were their thoughts?

But the other party was his only communication partner… at least the “ding” sound was like a like on his social media post?

Well, a “like” is better than nothing.

Finally, Lu Yuan chose to move the large metal sphere from the storage room to a relatively larger room.

He quickly shaved his beard, cut his messy hair, and changed into the clothes he wore when he first arrived on the Pangu Continent—clothes make the man!

He took a small stool and sat in front of the camera.

“Ahem, you must have observed a lot, and you probably have many questions.”

“Let me think, what important information can I share with you.”

He paused, then said in one breath: “The first point is about ‘God,’ or the great being who created Pangu Continent, what they want to do, I don’t know the answer.”

“I only know that I’m located on the ruins of a civilization… this civilization is called the Midea Civilization.”

“The Midea Civilization left behind many papers speculating on this aspect.”

“This civilization stayed in the safe zone for over three hundred years, observing the surrounding area for at least thirty thousand years.”

“They discovered many, many strange paranormal phenomena.”

“If I have to describe it, they believe that the worldview of Pangu Continent might lean towards a Chinese-style Cthulhu mythos… very terrifying, with incomprehensible monsters roaming around.”

“Yes, I’m not wrong, very terrifying. It’s fine if you don’t encounter them, but if you do, you might be completely wiped out.”

Speaking of this, Lu Yuan was also a little nervous.

Although he had lived a fulfilling life these past few months, hunting bears, petting dogs, collecting honey, eating corn.

But it’s important to remember that this is only the early stage of the Ninth Epoch.

Peace is the norm.

And the Midea Civilization ruins where he lives are just a small, insignificant corner…

Moreover, he encountered a newly awakened Demon!!

How to deal with this thing is still unknown.
