Chapter 3

Changing Fate

As expected.

After he was born, Li Yueming was either hungry or on the road to starvation.

Therefore, Li Yueming could only maintain his Buddhist zen-like nature.

He didn’t cry or make a fuss.

Every day, he would stay on the broken bed and not move if he could.

No choice.

He was starving!

Children were not resistant to hunger to begin with.

Often, after turning over a few times, he would feel hungry.

In addition,

To prevent infection by viruses and bacteria, Li Yueming basically did not touch anything dirty in the house.

After all, in the deduction of talent, the probability of Humans from this world dying from a virus was not low at all.

His behavior was a mixed blessing for his parents.

They were happy that Li Yueming was very sensible.

Every day, other than opening his mouth and whimpering a few times when he drank milk, he laid on the bed and did not cry or make a fuss.

However, this was also a worry.

The child didn’t cry or make a fuss. Could there be a problem?

For this, they looked through Li Yueming’s body.

However, other than receiving a few eye rolls, they did not find anything wrong.

Time flew by quickly.

Under Li Yueming’s cautiousness, the most difficult three years finally passed without any mishaps.

He briefly summarized his experiences over the past three years.

There was only one word to describe it.

Hungry!

Even his hair was a dry yellow from malnutrition.

But even so…

He also learned to walk and talk earlier than other children.

This made his parents very happy.

The two even began to fantasize about sending Li Yueming to school in the underground shelter.

However, after a night of consideration, the two of them had no choice but to give up on this unrealistic fantasy.

To them, who were refugees without status, just surviving required them to do their best.

It was even more impossible to go to school in the shelter.

Fortunately, Li Yueming did not have much hope for this.

Because he still had a matter that concerned his life and death to resolve.

That was to stop his parents from giving birth behind his back!

According to his talent, when he was three years old, because there was no contraceptive facility, his parents gave birth to a sister for him on a dark and windy night.

It made their already poor family even more desperate.

This led to a series of chain reactions.

In the end, to raise him, they even sold his sister, whom he had yet to meet.

Such an outcome was naturally difficult for Li Yueming to accept.

Therefore, he had to find a way to prevent this from happening.

Ever since his third birthday.

Every day before his parents went to bed, Li Yueming would climb into bed and sleep between them.

In response, his parents were not used to it at first.

This was because Li Yueming had slept separately from them before he was three years old.

They didn’t expect him to take the initiative to sleep with them after he was three years old.

But after a long time.

They got used to it.

After all, it was normal for children to stick to their parents.

However, ever since Li Yueming slept in the middle.

His father was having a hard time.

He wanted to be intimate with his wife every night.

As long as there is a slight commotion, Li Yueming, who had woken up from his sleep, would widen his eyes like copper bells.

Hence…

Under Li Yueming’s daily vigilance,

There has been a sharp decrease in the number of times his parents got intimate.

His sister, who was supposed to be born this year, also successfully avoided the fate of being sold in the future.

This year.

Li Yueming was four years old.

He had successfully changed his fate.

At the same time, information appeared in his mind.

[Successful change of fate!]

[The three-year-old you successfully stopped the younger sister who should have been born and successfully changed your fate!]

[The score of this simulated reincarnation has increased slightly!]

[Additional reward: 300 Reincarnation Points!]

[Part of the permanent reincarnation mark has been activated!]

He saw the information in the simulation mark.

Li Yueming became excited.

Reincarnation Points were the common currency of Reincarnators and could be used to trade and exchange for resources.

Additional reward: 300 Reincarnation Points.

It was enough for an ordinary person to spend two to three years in the real world.

Most importantly, the evaluation of the simulated reincarnation had also increased slightly.

He was one step closer to activating the permanent mark.

He had worked hard for so long.

He even kept one eye open when he slept.

Wasn’t it to change his fate and obtain the reward?

Now his perseverance has paid off.

Enduring this fate, the situation in Li Yueming’s family had changed drastically compared to their original fate.

But even so…

The food collected by his parents was still not enough for Li Yueming to develop healthily.

In order not to be hungry in the future, he had to find a food source as soon as possible to make himself stronger.

However, the resources in the sewers were very lacking.

Moreover, food was always in short supply.

Even if Li Yueming was a transmigrator, it was not easy to add more to his meal.

Fortunately, he happened to find relatively fertile soil behind his house.

There were actually many thumb-sized earthworms living in the ground!

These worms not only contain high levels of protein and carbohydrates.

It also contains a variety of trace elements and minerals required by the human body.

It could provide sufficient energy for Li Yueming’s growth!

Of course, it was impossible for Li Yueming to leak any information about such an important discovery.

After all, a man’s wealth was his own ruin.

Even his parents could only gather some insects and moss every day.

Occasionally, if one was especially lucky, they might be able to catch a few animals that had not mutated before The Cataclysm.

If other refugees discovered that their backyard could produce earthworms,

The consequences would definitely be terrifying.

In order not to attract attention, he began to play purposefully around the house every day.

He used a wooden stick to dig holes in the courtyard around the house.

In the beginning, there were adults who were curious about what he was doing.

As time passed, no one noticed.

He ate a few fat earthworms every day.

After half a year…

Li Yueming’s withered and yellowing hair became dark and dense, and his weak body became much stronger.

He looked clean and healthy, not at all malnourished.

[Successful change of fate!]

[At five years old, you’re fair and chubby. You don’t look malnourished at all. Father’s pressure also decreased because of your healthy growth and he successfully saved his arm!]

[The score for this simulated reincarnation has increased!]

[Additional reward: 1,000 Reincarnation Points!]

[Part of the permanent reincarnation mark has been activated!]

The simulation message came again.

This time, not only did Li Yueming successfully change his fate.

Even his cheapskate father’s fate had changed with him.
