With such thoughts in mind, Chen Fan ignored the incident that had just swept past him.
"Did you see a girl running away from here?" A crisp voice, carrying a hint of fragrance, drifted in from the alleyway.
It was a Silver-Haired Girl, dressed in a Moonlight White Dress. Her exquisite features and stunning beauty brought a youthful air to the two Vibrant Goods nearby.
"Wow... this guy is quite interesting. He has human traits but lacks any human aura!" Beside the girl floated an animal that resembled a cat-like doll, looking exceptionally delightful.
Its fluffy and adorable appearance would surely sell out if placed in a store.
Currently still lying on the ground, Lai Yueang lifted his head, his eyes filled with infatuation as he took a breath. "The one who stole from here has probably escaped by now."
Everything happening was indeed not a dream.
A glance around revealed that the three others who had also crossed over to this place wore expressions of confusion. Their looks of language barrier made him feel a pang of bitterness inside.
At this point, if he still hadn’t noticed the oddities, he would have wasted his title as a homebody.
If Island Language could be communicated, that woman and child wouldn’t have shown such bewildered expressions. It seemed he was the main character in this crossing event, while these others were likely mere side characters.
"Did you injure these three?" the Silver-Haired Girl asked, glancing at the three men on the ground who looked quite miserable, her brow slightly furrowing.
"They mean no harm; they probably just offended some local ruffians and are suffering the consequences," said the floating animal, directed at the girl.
"Let’s go after that thief!"
The Silver-Haired Girl relaxed her brow and nodded obediently, her gaze returning to Lai Yueang.
She noticed that the others seemed unwilling to answer her question and could only ask Lai Yueang directly, her lips moving: "Do you remember which direction that girl ran off in?"
Lai Yueang nodded, glancing back at the companions who had also experienced the crossing event. She chuckled lightly and then turned her head away. "Now that the other party has already run far away, even if I tell you the direction, it would be impossible to find them."
"However, I have a way to locate their hideout. Do you need my help?"
The Silver-Haired Girl smiled, her tone dismissive. "No need, just tell me the direction she escaped in!"
Lai Yueang's expression stiffened, and at that moment, a childish voice rang out.
"That one you were chasing ran off to the southwest and has already covered a kilometer. If you hurry, you might catch up!" After a few moments of comprehension, Chen Fan finally grasped the language of this world.
That's right, it's that simple!
As a Cheat Code, Godslayer's learning ability was maxed out from the very beginning.
Any knowledge that wasn't instinctively resisted could be learned and utilized in a remarkably short time—short enough to be overwhelming.
"Thanks a lot!" said the cat perched on the girl's shoulder. If it hadn't instinctively sensed that the other party meant no harm, it would have urged the girl to stay away from Chen Fan at first sight.
This being was terrifying!
A monster that even it had no confidence in confronting!
"You can speak this world's language?" Lai Yueang snapped back to reality from her shock, her face devoid of any smugness—she looked utterly defeated.
Chen Fan narrowed his eyes; the expression on this Island Nationer's face was quite amusing!
"What are you two still doing over there?" Ignoring Lai Yueang, Chen Fan initially intended to ask if this person knew anything useful.
After a brief exchange, it became clear that Lai Yueang knew nothing at all. Coupled with the heavy aura of despair surrounding him, Chen Fan couldn't uncover even a hint of valuable information.
What use were these Vibrant Goods to him?
With the Tang siblings in tow, Chen Fan sidestepped the dazed Lai Yueang and headed toward the mouth of the alley. What he needed now was a way to leisurely pass the next few months.
"Mr. Chen Fan... where are we going?" The siblings followed closely behind him. To an outsider, these two oddly dressed humans likely appeared to be the boy's bodyguards.
Chen Fan still wore the divine attire designed by Monster Teacher, which was quite similar to the fashion of this world. With his golden hair and unusual eyes, anyone who saw him would immediately assume he was some noble young master.
"First, let's gather some information about this world!"
Chen Fan yawned lazily, squinting his eyes as he explained his reasoning.
He realized that the siblings' memories were shrouded in a Blank space; they had forgotten what he had previously told them about returning to Earth. To reassure them, he mentioned it again.
"After that, we'll find a comfortable place to stay."
After all—
Returning to the Marvel Universe was not a goal that could be achieved overnight.
Considering there was a language barrier involved, Chen Fan spoke in Mandarin. Tang could understand him, and the siblings nodded happily.
The fact that Chen Fan could explain things to them meant that they still had some value worth saving; at least they wouldn't end up like that overly dramatic young man—abandoned and forsaken—
They might even fare worse, as they wouldn't even be able to communicate!
As they traveled, they encountered a variety of strange and peculiar races, known locally as Demihumans. The sight amazed the newcomers, and Tang couldn't help but drool at the spectacle.
Muttering to himself, he remarked that catgirls and beastgirls were simply unfair.
After some inquiries, Chen Fan had a rough understanding of the world he was in.
"Do you have anything valuable on you?" He asked the siblings in front of him as they stood under a patch of shade.
This was a different world; the banks from America had no way to operate here, and his unlimited overdraft black card was useless.
With his strength, Chen Fan could take whatever he wanted by force.
However, as a righteous character bearing the title of Thunder Lord, he wouldn't stoop to such disgraceful acts. The dilemma before him was clear.
—No money!
"Mr. Chen Fan, according to the layout of this world, there should be places like mercenary guilds!" Tang De Yi scratched his head and said, "In worlds like this, mercenary guilds are usually present! With your strength, Mr. Chen Fan, you could easily take on a mission and earn a fortune!"
Chen Fan nodded; mercenary guilds did exist. But why should he work for these two 'useless siblings' to make money?
"I have a jade pendant!" Tang Xin'er shot her brother an annoyed glance, then pulled him forward and yanked a pendant off his neck.
Tang shot a resentful look at his sister and rubbed his sore neck.
Wasn't this jade pendant his? When did it become hers?
The jade was of excellent quality, its luster bright and its appearance exquisite. Chen Fan calculated that it could be worth quite a few coins.
After taking the jade pendant and examining it briefly, Chen Fan led the siblings into a pawn shop.
They pawned the pendant and exchanged it for one hundred Holy Gold Coins. As for whether it was a loss or a gain?
Chen Fan didn't care. From what he understood, one Holy Gold Coin could allow an ordinary family to live comfortably for a month, which meant that the three of them could enjoy a few months of leisurely travel in this other world.
As the trio exited the shop, the scene shifted; they were no longer on the street but at a familiar alleyway, with walls on either side and an alley stretching ahead and behind them.
Chen Fan slightly raised his head.
The sky transitioned from evening back to daylight, and the sun hanging overhead seemed to wear a mocking grin.
…
Looking at the three terrified faces before him, Chen Fan felt an unusual melancholy. The words "Mabapi" nearly escaped his throat.
“Lai Yueang, can you stop being reckless?” Chen Fan said, glancing down at someone sprawled on the ground, gasping. At this point, he had fully realized one thing: as long as this Island Nationer was dead, they would all revert to their initial state upon arriving in this other world.
Chen Fan possessed the Godslayer physique, which repelled all anomalies within him. However, he could only retain his memories; he couldn't prevent being transported back to the beginning once someone died.
