The second day, Bai Yang woke up to a calm and peaceful morni… afternoon?

He sat on the bed stunned for a second. Then, Bai Yang realized that he wasn't staying with his parents anymore. He scratched his head and walked toward the toilet.

But when he stepped into the toilet, he realized he had forgotten to buy the toiletries when he moved in yesterday…

My single dog's sad life…

He sighed in his heart and bathed for the first time in two days with cold water to wake himself. He shook his head to dry off his wet hair before wearing a set of clean clothes before leaving the house.

He first went to a ramen shop for some food and proceeded to a supermarket to purchase some simple-looking canvas bags and instant noodles.

He returned to the villa and changed back into his tactical gear. He kept the rock candy in the bag and tore the packaging of the instant noodles. He then placed the noodles and seasoning bags in a clean plastic bag before keeping it in his bag also. Then, he held the stun baton in his hands, ready to leave.

“Dad, mom, it's my first day at work. I'll be having dinner with my new colleagues. If you can't reach me, I'm probably drunk and at home sleeping already. Don't miss me.”

He drafted and sent the message, everything was in place now!

Even though he had moved out of his parent's house, it's still better to notify them of his ‘whereabouts' just so they don't worry too much if they can't reach him.

Soon, Bai Yang had disappeared from his room in the villa and appeared in the other world.

No matter how many times he's been here before, Bai Yang still had this strange feeling that it all wasn't real when he appeared in the middle of the forest.

I wonder how many hours is a day here. Earth is almost 12 at noon but the sun is already setting here. 

He looked through the leaves in the sky at the setting sun. Heck, he doesn't even know if that direction was west. Bai Yang looked at the time on his phone and found an empty place with no plants. The sunlight was just nice s.h.i.+ning in that place.

Bai Yang placed a wooden stick on the ground and a line where the stick's shadow was. Then, he screenshotted his phone background to record the time.

He had been trying to find out how many hours was in a day here. When the sun sets in the next day, he would be able to know roughly how many hours it was already with the shadow of the wooden stick.

If he still remembers it by then, that is….

Then, he stood up and headed back toward the ‘barbarian village'. Just when he turned around to the back of the tree, a huge object obstructed his vision.

“What the…!”

Shocked, the young man took a leap backward while stabbing the stun baton to the front with the ‘on' b.u.t.ton pushed.

“Bang… bang…”

Two loud noises entered his ears and Bai Yang awkwardly kept the stun baton in his hands. At the same time, he stopped his plan of returning back to Earth.

Barbarian no.3 had once again, tasted electrification. He was twitching subconsciously on the ground with his hairs all standing up, breathing smoke as he tried to stand up…

“Will you believe me if I say this is a misunderstanding? Who asked you to suddenly appear right in front of me…” Bai Yang stood beside the barbarian and apologized, not caring that he didn't understand his language.

Although he was electrified again, barbarian no.3 was fine in almost no time. The first thing he did when he could stand up was to maintain a certain distance away from Bai Yang. Clearly, he was afraid of Bai Yang now. Then, he was blabbering something while waving his hands in the air.

Bai Yang stared dumbly at him for a long time before finally understanding what he was trying to tell. Barbarian no.3 saw him from the village far away and was here to welcome him back to the village.

Or at the least, this was what Bai Yang had interpreted. Who knew what barbarian no.3 really wanted to tell.

“Speaking of which, you are so big in size yet you walk around without making a single noise. You really deserved that electrification. But you are also a sad one. Here, have some candy. Sad barbarian, you've never seen rock candy before, have you?” Bai Yang shrugged as he said but barbarian no.3 understood not even a single word. Thus, even when he was talking, Bai Yang was practically just talking to himself.

When Bai Yang took out the rock candy from his bag, barbarian no.3's eyes widened as he blabbered stuff Bai Yang couldn't understand.

“Right, I figured you barbarians hadn't seen them before.” Bai Yang slapped his head. He took out a rock candy and ate one first. Then, he raised his hand and tried to get the barbarian to take the candies.

After all, the need to eat was in every living being's nature. The barbarian was able to understand immediately after seeing Bai Yang's demonstration. He took the rock candies given to him and ate them all in one go. While crunching the candies in between his teeth, his eyes were opened wide and he was hopping up and down happily.

Bai Yang, on the other hand, was speechless, “….”

Rock candy was still candy but this wasn't the way he remembered it should be eaten.

Bai Yang sighed in his heart, he shook and continued walking toward the village.

Barbarian no.3 was blabbering while rus.h.i.+ng back toward the village. He was swinging in between the trees and running like a Tarzan, leaving a stunned Bai Yang on the back.

Bai Yang's reappearance was not far away from the village gate. When he arrived at the gate, a bunch of barbarians has swarmed out of nowhere and surrounded him. They were pointing their fingers at him and chattering.

But Bai Yang was quick to notice that other than curiosity in their eyes, there was also respect and goodwill. No wonder there was a saying that said the eyes were the windows to the soul. These ‘barbarians' were all pure and naive; their thoughts were etched all over their faces.

However, what Bai Yang couldn't figure out was what caused them to make these expressions?

“Alright, alright, I said the last time I'd bring some gifts the next time I'm back. I didn't go back on my word.” Not caring if they could understand him, Bai Yang said to the barbarians. 

He placed his bag on the ground and took out the over 10 kilograms of rock candies.

Immediately, the crowd turned dead quiet. All of their eyes were fixated on Bai Yang and the bag of rock candy. The expressions on their faces and in their eyes wrote two huge words to Bai Yang.

What's that!

“@…#&(…!*&…)#!…(…@&…%^!)…@&)…%@#%^^….”, Barbarian no.3 blabbered a series of words Bai Yang couldn't understand. But clearly, he was explaining the rock candies to his fellow villagers.

Right away, the eyes of the villagers brightened up.

One must say, these villagers had good manners. They didn't all rush forward to fight for the candy.

Bai Yang knew the importance of affinity and therefore, he decided to personally distribute the rock candy into the hands of each and every villager. This way, he would be able to gain the favor of everyone in the village!

First, it was the children, then the teenagers, followed by the women, and lastly, the men. Bai Yang had soon given every villager a handful of rock candy.

The rock candy he had brought was quite a lot and unlike the people of Earth who would normally go for a second turn to ask for more candies, the villagers here were so innocent that they were grateful for all that was given to them. In the end, Bai Yang still had half of the rock candy left with him!

Then, it was Bai Yang's turn to widen his eyes as he saw every single villager throwing all the rock candies into their mouths in one go just like barbarian no.3 Hu Zi.

Are they not afraid of getting a carious tooth?

Bai Yang's mouth twitched and as observant as ever, he noticed that after the villagers had eaten the rock candies, their eyes were filled with goodwill when they look at him now.

Sure enough, his hard work paid off!

The crowd suddenly split from the center and the white-beard old man walked out with a smile on his face looking at Bai Yang. But what's the matter with the pretty girl beside him? Why was she looking at Bai Yang with a pair of teary eyes? It was as if Bai Yang had abandoned her…

But I've never done anything before, I didn't even touch her at all!

Bai Yang was shouting in his heart while not knowing who to go to for the answers to his questions.

But since the head of the barbarians made his appearance, the rest of the rock candy found their new home. Bai Yang walked toward the white-beard old man with the bag of rock candies and started blabbering in mandarin while waving his crazy hand signs. He was signaling to the old man to take the rest of the rock candies and ask him to help distribute them to the rest of the villagers who weren't here today.

After a series of hand signs, the old man replied in his language and nodded smilingly. Bai Yang really had no idea if the old man understood his meaning, but in the end, the old man did take the rest of the rock candy.

Throughout the whole process, the pretty girl beside the old man had her eyes fixated on Bai Yang. Even though he was sure he didn't do anything to her before, with her staring at him like that, even he inexplicably began to view himself as sc.u.m…

After everything, the sun had set and the forest became blanketed by darkness.

The white-beard old man shooed the crowd and gestured at Bai Yang with a smile.

It was the same treehouse they dined in previously, the same dozen burly men, the same dishes on the tables, but there wasn't any wine anymore this time.

However, Bai Yang only had a bowl of ramen just not long ago, he really couldn't eat anymore. But when the pretty girl looked at him with a pair of teary eyes and with her hands serving the food to the front of his mouth, Bai Yang really had no power to say no.

The last time Bai Yang was stunned that he didn't get to react in time so he let the girl feed him. But this time, he was too ashamed to trouble her anymore and decided to do it himself. Yet, at the very moment he picked up his own chopsticks, tears started rolling down the pretty girl's cheeks…

What? What is going on?

Bai Yang couldn't comprehend the situation. He looked around and saw a dozen pairs of eyes staring at him.

Alright, fine, this must've been some kind of culture to them? He shouldn't reject it!

And so, Bai Yang finally had a taste of the life of a rich man. All he needed to do was to open his mouth and food would be fed to him automatically. The roasted meat was incredibly nice too. He wondered what meat it was. But the flavor of the meat was the same all this time, it tasted a little salty mixed with some kind of herbal taste.

Bai Yang's stomach was round and full when they finished eating. Before leaving the house, Bai Yang saw the weird expressions on the faces of the men and even the white-beard old man. 

It was a playful expression that only males could understand… 

It was getting late and it was the same room he slept in, but what's the matter with the pretty girl who timidly entered the room with him?
