      Faking Death C17 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 17: The Seventeenth Day of Being a Salted Fish From a distance, Goudan seemed to feel Lu Yuan's gaze and turned back with a broad grin. He looked like a happy big dog. Lu Yuan smiled back at him. Goudan froze, suddenly shuddering as if struck by a chill. He hurriedly handed his work over to someone else and ran over in a rush. "Why did you suddenly smile like Siming? What's wrong with you? No, wait, what's wrong with me? Did I offend you?" "..." Lu Yuan didn't know whether to laugh…

      Faking Death C16 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 16: Sixteenth Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish "I used to be." Lu Yuan answered calmly. He had already expected Siming to ask this question. He didn't mind admitting it, either. If Siming couldn't get off this Desolate Planet, knowing he was once a Marshal wouldn't do much good. If Siming could leave, he would be able to find out soon enough on his own. There was no point in hiding it. So, while he gave a casual answer, his mind was distracted by something else- Wen…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 15: Fifteenth Day of Being a Salted Fish The crowd below was momentarily stunned, but Goudan quickly urged them to line up and start moving things. In truth, there wasn't much to be shocked about. Lu Yuan's existence, his temperament, and his abilities were an open secret to the residents of this area. Lu Yuan had been here for nearly a year, and his small shop had been open for ten months. The timing of his arrival perfectly coincided with when things in this sector began to change.…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 14: Fourteenth Day of Being a Salted Fish Chen Feiyun stood frozen for a moment. Geshu Ming had already taken two steps back, pushed open the door, and walked out of his office. The student soldier was still standing at the door, his eyes bright as he looked over. "Are you finished talking?" "We're finished." Geshu Ming gave a gentle smile. "I have things to attend to, so I should be going." "I'll show you out!" The student soldier took the lead enthusiastically. Geshu Ming smiled…

      Faking Death C13 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 13: The Thirteenth Day of Lying Flat Lu Yuan actually quite liked people with dreams. Even though he wasn't that type himself. But he was surrounded by such people, and he indeed preferred to keep them close. War was something that required ideals and convictions as support. It was too grueling, too painful, and far too easy to turn a person numb and indifferent. And Lu Yuan had no use for numb soldiers. Lu Yuan understood the importance of morale. He knew how to mobilize the…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 12: Twelfth Day of Being a Salted Fish Siming froze for a moment, then smiled. "So you really can hear everything that happens in this area." "...No, it's through Mental Power." This was a relatively high-level application of Mental Power. Lu Yuan gave a brief explanation before adding, "I only hear things when I specifically focus on listening." "So why did you suddenly want to listen to us yesterday?" "Hmm... because Goudan and I were talking about your purpose for staying here, and I…

      Faking Death C11 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 11: Eleventh Day of Lying Flat Lu Yuan did indeed have a way to leave the Desolate Planet, and he truly could help others leave as well. The simplest method, for instance, would be to go onto StarNet, hijack some general's account, and send a message stating he was on the Desolate Planet. Whether the other party believed it or not, they would certainly send someone to investigate. If he didn't want to expose himself, he could use a slightly more complex method. For example, building a…

      Faking Death C10 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 10: Tenth Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish The basic requirement for a Warp is that the space at the starting and ending points must be sufficiently stable. Under the force of a violent explosion, it was already too late for Siming to maneuver the Command Ship into a Warp to escape. The Command Ship and the Mothership collapsed almost simultaneously. The screen slowly faded to gray, leaving behind the words: . Siming grimaced. "Dammit, I lost even worse this time." "Twice the number…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 9: Ninth Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish Lu Yuan: "..." On the other side, Siming had already quickly finished the novice tutorial. He looked up excitedly. "Let's play!" "Starting already?" Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. "Not going to practice a bit?" "No need, it's not like I can master it in a short time anyway." Siming shook his head. Although the game was contained within a small handheld console, its scale was massive and the controls were quite complex. It was impossible to fully…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 8: The Eighth Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish "Mm." To Goudan's surprise, Lu Yuan actually looked up and hummed in agreement. It was only a single syllable, but still- "You just said 'mm', didn't you? You definitely did!" Goudan cried out. "You actually agreed with this guy! So why did you turn me down every time I asked to play games with you before!" "Because you're too trash at them," Siming said with a beaming smile. "...Hey!" "Be good," Lu Yuan soothed. "You don't even…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 7: The Seventh Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish "Yes! Of course there is!" Goudan was very excited. "It might not be a lot, but it's enough to keep you alive in a place like this!" "..." Lu Yuan interrupted helplessly. "He probably has more money on him than you've ever seen in your life." There was currency on the Desolate Planet. Although there didn't seem to be a unified issuing authority—at least not on the surface—there was still a certain amount of currency circulating…

      Faking Death C06 Cover
      by MarineTL — Chapter 6: Sixth Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish Lu Yuan wasn't actually that opposed to killing. How should he put it? After over a decade on the battlefield, even if most of what he killed were bugs, he was well-acquainted with the cycle of life and death. However, he didn't want to break the rules he had established. Furthermore... Even if he let this man kill someone, the man wouldn't necessarily leave quietly. On the contrary, if Lu Yuan showed any lack of resolve or strength, this…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 5: Fifth Day of Being a Salted Fish Goudan nodded. "...Oh." He hesitated, looking as if he wanted to say more. Lu Yuan glanced at him and explained, "I'm quite satisfied with you. You aren't exactly my subordinate." Subordinates required management, and management was a hassle. Although Goudan was in the habit of calling him "Boss" or "Brother," terms that implied a hierarchy, Lu Yuan viewed their relationship as more of a partnership. For instance, he provided TV dramas, and…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 4: The Fourth Day of Being a Salted Fish When Goudan returned, Lu Yuan was curled up on the sofa reading a novel. Even in the interstellar era, the art form of using text to carry and express stories had not disappeared. On the contrary, with the updates and iterations of language, it had become even richer. Lu Yuan didn't have any particularly strong feelings toward novels. Of course, that didn't mean he disliked them. Otherwise, he wouldn't have chosen to read one right now. It was…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 3: The Third Day of Being a Salted Fish "True enough." Lu Yuan expressed his agreement with the other man's point of view. Then, this protagonist, who had been lying on the sofa for two entire chapters, finally began to sluggishly push himself into a sitting position. "Right?" Goudan said, focusing on the TV while sloppily slurping his noodles. He chimed in casually, "I know you too well. For a guy like you, asking you to be even a little diligent is like asking for your life. I don't even…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 2: The Second Day of Lying Flat A familiar set of footsteps broke the silence of the small shop. The sound came from far away, likely beyond the hearing of any ordinary person. However, Lu Yuan's keen senses caught the rhythm, jolting him awake from his slumber. The shop's other resident was returning. Reluctant to move, Lu Yuan clutched his quilt and rolled over with his eyes closed. With a head of messy hair, he tried to bury his face deeper into the pillow. He didn't need to lift…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 1: The First Day of Lying Flat Like a Salted Fish1 Early autumn. The weather was gradually turning cool, and the most comfortable season on the Desolate Planet had finally arrived. The little girl’s clothes were thin and ill-fitting, and her shoes were so worn that her toes peeked through. After winding through streets and alleys, she finally stopped in front of a dilapidated little shop on a street corner. The shop's door stood wide open. Rubbing her hand against her pants before…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 22: Going Berserk. Yun Zhou: District Chief, please do something about this! ... The Izayoi Family shrine, Third District. The sky had begun to turn a pale yellow, unveiling the curtain of dusk. A gentle breeze brushed past the jellyfish wind chimes hanging from the ancient wooden Torii, producing a crisp sound like ice cubes clinking in a summer drink. Inside a room within the Nagare-zukuri1 style main hall of the shrine, Izayoi Ame sat upon a zabuton2 cushion, eyes closed in deep…

After dinner, Hao Lidan came knocking at the door, bringing a bag of fruit and a small packet of cooked food. She wanted to thank Yao Jia and the others for their help.

She added that once Little Lawyer Ling finished preparing the materials, they could proceed to file the case in court. At that moment, Tong Yumo…

      by MarineTL — Chapter 39: Record of Moving to the City in the 90s 39 When the Step-grandmother saw that the old man seemed reluctant to intervene, she began to cry even harder. "The second son is so wealthy. If he just gave our daughters eight hundred thousand or a million a year in dividends, they wouldn't have to go abroad to scrounge for a living. This was all forced by your second son. If you won't look after our daughters, then I'll go find him myself. We are a legally married couple, which makes me his…
