Rock and roll is a very hardcore thing.
Why say that? Because once you start rocking, life often becomes very hardcore.
Throughout history, every rock and roll player has had a very awesome and hardcore past or future. They either died in a car crash, contracted AIDS, or died screaming on stage, or disappeared; in short, none of them went comfortably, the kind that could jump out of the ground like a zongzi (rice dumpling) if buried.
Li Lin, for a period in the past, also greatly envied such a hardcore life. Accompanied by beautiful women, what more could one ask for in life, countless star-chasing fans following behind; just by roaring forcefully, the whole world would tremble. Li Lin once greatly envied such a life. But now, all he thought about was surviving in this dangerous Terra world, respectfully declining the rock and roll life. He just wanted to live peacefully and harmoniously like a plant.
But how should I put it, everyone likes things like songs. Everyone also likes things with a strong rhythm.
Thinking carefully, perhaps only 'We Will Rock You', with its extremely strong rhythm, was suitable for stunning these people of the Terra world.
Just a table and hands could be used as instruments; not understanding the lyrics didn't matter either, as long as everyone sang along, they could quickly understand the strong rhythm and vitality within. Plus, the AI was also very understanding, directly starting to coordinate with chords under Li Lin's instruction. No matter how you looked at it, it was a very vibrant scene.
Thus, everyone in the car clapped along, humming the song from another world. The sound, full of demonic charm and clamor, gained even greater vitality after being broadcasted, to the point that it felt like the entire wilderness was vibrating along with the song. Plus, his own intuition wasn't alarming, so Li Lin became very complacent and stood on the table, beating time for the numerous beast-girls, then lost consciousness with a crash amidst the final notes of the song.
"…Intuition, this thing, really isn't reliable."
Touching his head, which was wrapped in bandages, Li Lin sucked in a sharp breath of cold air, then looked at the pit at his feet.
Croissant was wearing shorts and a sports vest, blowing on her palms, intending to lift the entire RV in one go. Texas and Exusiai were setting up a small camp downwind with some equipment, planning to cook something to eat. And Sora and the Blacksteel crosstalk duo were climbing high to look into the distance, unsure what they were looking at.
In other words, when the entire car crashed down, only Li Lin was unlucky enough to hit his head directly, developing a large, raw bump. Fortunately, this world was full of true love; compared to the several awkwardly-faced beast-girls, the one who truly saved Li Lin was actually a wandering medic who somehow emerged from the wilderness. The white-haired wandering medic possessed very skilled trauma treatment techniques; after observing Li Lin for a moment, she decided to wrap Li Lin's head with gauze.
Unsure if she saw anything or not, anyway, Li Lin felt this medic before him was probably quite capable .
"Doctor, you truly brought me back from the brink of death, saved my dog life ( self-deprecating term for one's life)."
"It didn't reach that point…"
Looking at the man before her, tearfully clutching her hand and shaking it up and down, Shining showed an awkward yet polite smile. Towards this young man's excited appearance, Shining subconsciously pulled her hood a bit, trying to cover her pale long horns.
Sarkaz.
Li Lin, already having some understanding of Terra, immediately identified the medic's race upon seeing her subconscious covering action.
Although unsure why this traveling medic's long horns were white, it didn't hinder her identity. A Sarkaz traveling medic sounded like an incredible thing, but Li Lin, having already experienced a hardcore rock and roll life, didn't feel any discrimination. Rather, as a transmigrator, he had no need to abide by these inexplicable laws of the Terra world. Towards the slightly estranged treatment from the people around, Li Lin instead showed a brilliant smile to this medic.
Think about that money-scattering boy Meteorite, wasn't he also a Sarkaz? But he was a good person, sent over all his family fortune, then had another Sarkaz transport it on his behalf, and finally returned without encountering any risks. Towards that money-scattering boy, Li Lin truly felt grateful.
Because only after encountering so many damn things afterwards did he realize Meteorite's preciousness.
"It's okay, Doctor. We are not the type to discriminate against Sarkaz people. May I ask your name? Ah, if you don't want to say your name, a codename is also fine."
"…Shining. Traveling medic, Shining."
Looking at the man before her, head wrapped in bandages, seemingly very talkative, Shining hesitated for a moment, then said slowly.
Her Originium Arts could sense the weakness in this person's body, and also be aware of the gazes from those around who seemed calm but were actually looking over from time to time. These people were not opponents that could be easily dealt with; more or less, they were all somewhat troublesome individuals. And these people seemed to care very much about this weak man before them.
As a traveling medic, Shining had truly seen too many different scenes. Different patients had different choices facing different situations, but what made Shining somewhat curious was that this man before her didn't fit any race or any condition in her impression. A pale body, so weak it seemed it would be hospitalized for organ failure in the next second, yet possessed an inexplicable vitality; as a medical operator, Shining had to admit this scene was quite attractive.
"Then Miss Shining, right?"
Facing Shining's somewhat inexplicable gaze, Li Lin coughed once, then extended his hand seriously towards Shining.
"I would like to sincerely invite you on behalf of Penguin Logistics to join our team. Not for long, just until we reach Kazimierz territory will be fine."
"Why? I am clearly a Sarkaz. I will bring trouble."
"…Can you listen to me for a moment?"
Looking at the beast-girls around who didn't seem to care about him, Li Lin looked at the somewhat curious Shining and said in a low voice:
"My body has problems, you as a doctor should understand very well. I am too weak, and now my head is injured, won't get better anytime soon, but this doesn't fit others' impression of me. I don't want them to think there's a problem. So please do me a favor, can you help me cover it up? I feel you should also be going to Kazimierz, let's benefit each other, just help cover it up a bit."
"…?"
But I feel your companions should have known these things long ago?
Looking at the man humbling himself before her, Shining then looked at those girls who seemed to be secretly observing here, feeling this matter was somewhat strange.
"If you need it, I will help you."
But being kind-hearted by nature, she finally nodded.
"However, as a price, I need some food and fresh water, do you think that's okay?"
"No problem, just take it from my side. Anyway, I can't eat that much."
Giving a thumbs-up to the kind-faced Shining, Li Lin grinned. The bandages on his head even seemed somewhat dazzling under the sun.
