"..."
Jay's expression was quite interesting as he looked at the string of 'odd things' he had pulled out.
I don’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Under normal circumstances, spending 10 berries to 'buy' a plate of tempura or a bottle of ramune would be absolutely crazy.
This deal is a huge loss!
But in his current situation, he really needed these foods to replenish his body's energy.
Otherwise, even if he could hold on until the end of confinement, his condition would be very poor and he would find it difficult to cope with the more dangerous situations that would follow.
So these 'expensive foods' showed up just in time!
If he had known that he could draw food from the card pool, he wouldn't have to grit his teeth and persevere for three days.
Jay didn't check the character card (white) immediately, but took out an ordinary lunch box first.
Miraculously, there was a beautifully painted card in the card pack, which immediately turned into a steaming hot and delicious lunch box after he took it out.
But when Jay tried to put it back into the card bag thoughtfully, he found that it didn't work at all.
This means that the items taken out from the card pack can only be converted from card to physical object once, and cannot be taken back in reverse.
Jay stopped his wandering thoughts and began to stuff the food into his mouth voraciously.
"Fuck, it smells so good!"
Chapter 4 Colonel Hammond (Please save and read!)
In just over twenty seconds, he had finished the lunch box, cleaner than a dog licking it.
Then the second lunch box...
In a short while, he finished two bento boxes, two servings of tempura, and a bottle of soda.
He didn't know if it was because of the activation of his [Passive Ability: Fanma's Blood], or if his body was simply in dire need of food and energy, but when Jay came to his senses, he was shocked to discover that he hadn't even eaten yet!
"No, we can't eat anymore. We have to save some food just in case."
Resisting the urge to eat everything, and considering that this was only the third day of confinement, Jay made the most sensible choice.
After the food entered his stomach, Jay felt much more comfortable, as if warm currents were flowing throughout his body.
The pain is most noticeable especially in the injured area.
Some swelling and itching...
Jay wanted so badly to close his eyes and have a good sleep at this moment, but he couldn't.
He quickly stood up, crushed all the garbage on the ground, lunch boxes, soda bottles, etc., and threw them all into the smelly pit little by little.
Only after all the garbage disappeared and the evidence was successfully destroyed did he move away with a normal expression and pretend to take a nap against the wall.
At the same time, start checking the character card (white).

. . . . . .
After seeing the end, Jay’s face suddenly turned dark, RNM, go to sleep!
At the same time, Johnson, who should have been put in solitary confinement like Jay, was standing in front of Colonel Hammond with a flattering look on his face, glancing at the black bag on the table from time to time with a look of pain in his eyes.
Colonel Hammond put his feet up on the table with disdain. "This fine is only enough to cancel your confinement time and pay for the medical expenses you need to pay."
"Of course, if you're willing to pay another 50 berries, I can send you to the detention room where that kid is and say goodbye properly."
Colonel Hammond raised his eyebrows; the implication in his words couldn't be more obvious.
It's even become a little unscrupulous.
After Johnson heard this, he felt extremely excited for a moment.
Whenever he thought about his sudden appearance in front of the other person and the desperate expression on that guy's face, he felt so happy!
But the price of 50 berries instantly poured cold water on him!
Although he really wanted to see the boy wailing and begging for mercy in front of him, and eventually being killed by his own hands.
But 50 berries?
Is that boy worthy?
The fine he just paid was already painful for him. Just to vent his anger, he wasted another 50 berries on a kid who was already dead in his eyes?
That guy isn't even worth 50 berries even if he's sold!
Don't talk about the auction reserve price. Slave traders won't do such a loss-making business.
"No, no, it's just a small conflict between us."
Johnson smiled ingratiatingly and shook his head quickly!
"A little conflict? Are you sure?"
Colonel Hammond looked at the other's head wrapped in gauze with a somewhat sarcastic expression.
"It's really just a minor conflict. I don't care about it anymore."
"Get out of here, trash."
Seeing that he could not squeeze out any more value, Colonel Hammond turned hostile and impatiently told Johnson to get out.
Being scolded like a dog, even if Johnson was dissatisfied, he did not dare to show it at all.
He even licked his face with a disgusting smile, bent over and asked: "Sir, regarding my promotion to non-commissioned officer..."
"Hmm? Promoted to non-commissioned officer? Why, have you saved enough money?"
“It was almost done…”
Johnson gave a wry smile, his eyes sweeping across the black bag on the table under Colonel Hammond's feet.
That was originally the money he had saved (squeezed) to "respect" Colonel Hammond and to complete the important stepping stone from soldier to non-commissioned officer.
That’s right, even military ranks can be purchased here.
And it’s almost the only way to get promoted!
Of course, the prerequisite is that Colonel Hammond himself can make the decision to upgrade.
After all, credit is not so easy to get, and you can easily lose your life if you are not careful.
With a salary of a few thousand yuan a month, what's the point of risking your life?
Colonel Hammond stood up, patted Johnson on the shoulder, and said earnestly, "My principle has always been to receive a berry worth of work. You're making it very difficult for me to do that... How about I return the money to you, then give you a beating and put you back in solitary confinement for seven days?"
"No...No thanks. I'm leaving now!"
Johnson shuddered immediately, finally realizing the reality, and left Colonel Hammond's lounge in a daze.
Afterwards, Colonel Hammond called the person guarding the confinement room and ordered him to give the new soldier Jay some food every day, assuming that he was still alive.
It wasn't that Colonel Hammond had suddenly become kindhearted.
Instead, he just did it casually, and the kid who dared to disobey his orders died.
But if he manages to survive until the end of confinement, things will become interesting.
What will Johnson’s expression be like and what will he do then?
A short-sighted idiot who is unwilling to pay even 50 berries is not worth cultivating at all.
. . . . . . .
“…198, 199, 200…”
In the bare confinement cell, Jay supported himself on the ground with his hands, his body moving up and down quickly and regularly.
It didn't take long to finish 200 push-ups, then sit-ups, burpees...
Only after he was sweating profusely and exhausted did he pretend to be "dying" and leaned against the cold wall to rest.
About ten minutes later, someone opened the small window on the iron gate to see if the person inside was dead.
After seeing Jay's chest heaving against the wall, he muttered something under his breath, closed the upper window, opened the lower window, and pushed in a glass of water and two pieces of black bread.
Then he closed the door again with a bang and left in style.
Jay opened his eyes again only after the footsteps could no longer be heard. He walked to the door, stuffed all the bread into his mouth in a few gulps, and then fed it to his stomach with the help of cold water.
Although I don't know why my "treatment" has improved a bit, I still have to eat.
As for whether there is poison in it...
If someone really wanted to kill him, there would be no need to go through so much trouble.
And you can avoid the first day, but you can’t avoid the fifteenth.
His current situation couldn't get any worse.
But the good news is that with the food he had drawn from the card pool before, plus the bread he had eaten in the past few days, his body received a lot of nutrition and his condition improved a lot.

Chapter 5: Out of the Customs (Please collect and read!)
Jay's injuries have basically healed, even the broken bones have grown back together, which is very magical.
If this had happened before the time travel, it would have been an absolute medical miracle.
In addition, Jay found that he could get great positive feedback from exercise.
The simple explanation is: practice and you will become stronger!
For example, suppose he can only do a hundred push-ups in one breath at the beginning.
After a rest, I will be able to do 130 at a time next time.
Next time, one hundred and sixty, two hundred...
This kind of visible strengthening is really addictive!
Of course, this also has something to do with Jay's original body being too weak.
As anyone who participates in sports knows, it is actually easiest to improve performance at the beginning, and it becomes increasingly difficult to break through your own limits as time goes on.
But what Jay needs now is to significantly improve his strength in a short period of time so that he can deal with the dangers that come next.
It seems that the value of this red card [Hanma Yujiro] is still increasing!
Just the activation of [Passive Ability: Blood of Fanma] brought him huge changes and benefits.
And if this goes on for a long time, the benefits he can get from it will become more and more, even unlimited.
However, there are two main factors that restrict him from continuing to rapidly improve his strength:
One is that the nutrition is not enough, the little bit of black bread and water every day is not enough to consume.
