In the abandoned place, Shi Tian was struggling to start a fire, using the metal parts of the Armored Rat.

The dismantling of the metal from the Armored Rat was quite an arduous task for him since he only had one arm, but it was still doable with a little bit more time and effort.

Not only did he need to dismantle the steel from the Armored Rat to get to its flesh, but the metal was also needed.

The metal of the Armored Rat was carbon steel, allowing Shi Tian to cause sparks to begin a fire.

However, the punishment of losing his right arm prevented Shi Tian from a smooth journey to create a spark between the metals.

"Damn it, this is worse than primitive living."

Shi Tian hissed coldly when he just couldn't get the carbon steel to create a spark enough to begin the fire.

He was obviously frustrated, but there was nothing else he could do besides trying to find another solution to hold the flint in place.

The flint stone was found near the corner of the abandoned place, and Shi Tian could be considered lucky to find them.

When flint stones are struck against steel, the flint edge produces sparks.

The hard flint edge would shave off a particle of the steel that exposed iron, which reacted with oxygen from the atmosphere and in turn ignited a fire.

This knowledge was not something most modern people would remember since there are flame lighters available now for others to easily light a fire at the palm of their hand.

Unfortunately for Shi Tian though, he did not carry one and was forced to use such a primitive method to create a fire.

And after deciding to hold the flint stone in place with his legs, Shi Tian finally caused a spark large enough for a fire to occur.

Wiping the sweat off his forehead with his left hand, Shi Tian breathed a sigh of relief. It was starting to become night and without the fire, he might freeze to death from the cold.

With the fire warming up the place, Shi Tian carefully used the remaining metal to dissect the flesh of the Armored Rat. It was a bloody mess when he cut out the internal organs, but to survive, Shi Tian could care less about the process.

His hand was coated in blood, but he was glad to have ripped off part of the flesh and have it cooked near the fire.

As for the blood on his left hand, Shi Tian merely rubbed it off on his clothes.

Unhygienic, but without any source of water, this was the best possible method to have his hands clean.

Sometime later, the red meat of the Armored Rat turned white, indicating that it was fully cooked and Shi Tian bit right into it.

The taste was disgusting considering there was not an ounce of salt or any other seasoning.

Shi Tian ignored the disgusting taste of the meat and consumed it without thinking further, filling up his empty stomach.

Hours passed by, and Shi Tian had consumed the entirety of the Armored Rat's edible parts. The internal organs that he ripped out were stored in a corner since he doesn't know if there might be a use for them.

'What an exhausting night…' Shi Tian thought to himself, staring at the open crack of the roof and glancing at the moon. It was the same moon that he had always seen, but the mood and scenery were completely different.

There was a tinge of bitterness lingering in his eyes as he knew the chance of Sheng Lan's survival was next to zero.

"Rest assured, Xiao Lan. Even if you are no longer in this world, you still exist in my heart. And for those wicked people that did this to us, I'll make sure to kill them all." Shi Tian's eyes were filled with redness before gradually returning to their original calmness.

And with this slight experiment, Shi Tian was positive that his Serene Calmness passive ability was genuine and truly affected his emotions.

Just now, he had tried to stimulate his anger by recalling Sheng Lan and become enraged, only to quickly have his emotions calmed by some magical means.

Although unable to showcase many emotions now, Shi Tian was quite grateful for such an ability.

Only by remaining calm and collected in all situations could he actually achieve something.

Never once was there ever praise for those who recklessly do things, only those who calmly do things.

Checking his status by imagining it with his mind, Shi Tian once again saw his stats, and this time, there was something extra.

[Currently, a complete trash can with his right arm amputated. Despite being trash though, his luck seemed to be quite decent to have slain an Armored Rat.]

His level had increased by 1 and there seemed to be 2 points available for him to use in the attribute point.

In addition to that, he had also gained another passive ability, namely, [Pain Tolerance] situated at level one.

The Pain Tolerance was quite clear for Shi Tian to understand what it does.

Without Pain Tolerance, Shi Tian wouldn't have been able to overcome his crisis and changed the situation around which allowed him to kill an Armored Rat in return.

Not to mention, the original description in which it mentioned a 5 year old kid could thrash him was changed.

"So the current stats are displayed in real-time and it looks like that 1 luck point does exist." Shi Tian smiled bitterly, pondering over which attribute stats he wished to increase.
