Chapter 159 The Scorching Sun (58 pages)
Gu Yao woke up again in a dimly lit, abandoned warehouse.
It is completely consistent with the original owner's memories.
There's really nothing new about it.
Gu Yao's lips curled into a mocking smile.
The dimly lit and filthy warehouse was unpleasant to look at, but a sliver of sunlight shone through the high-hanging window on the wall, revealing the dust floating in the air.
The same scene, over and over again.
why?
Gu Yao disliked it very much, especially in this gloomy weather, and a sense of resentment welled up in his heart.
Too dirty.
too disgusting.
Gu Yao looked out the window, as if he had returned to that sunless afternoon.
The dimly lit attic, my cousin lurking outside the door, cursing incessantly, dust swirling around...
And then there are the children who are powerless to resist.
Everything was so similar.
Gu Yao felt a sharp pain in his head. He suppressed the violence rising in his heart and used his finger to pull out a folding knife from his sleeve.
He didn't like this feeling of being out of control.
The sharp blade sliced across my palm, sending a sharp pain through me.
Gu Yao frowned and pinched his palm to make the pain more pronounced.
A faint smell of blood permeated the silent warehouse.
As blood flowed from my palm, although my head still ached, the feeling of losing control subsided considerably.
As her mind gradually calmed down, Gu Yao began to use a small folding knife to cut the hemp rope on her wrist.
Looking at the long wound on her palm, 0529 felt a pang of heartache.
"Host, how about we exchange for items?"
Gu Yao raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a cryptic smile playing on his lips.
"Xiao Jiu, try to see if you can still exchange for items now."
Fortunately, the host and the system communicate through consciousness; otherwise, Gu Yao wouldn't be able to communicate with the system at all.
0529 didn't understand why Gu Yao said that; he had never heard of the system store being invalid.
But he tried anyway.
The system remained silent as it stared at the page that was still stuck on the redemption process.
This is just like a mobile network failure preventing webpages from loading.
I never expected to run into him.
Seeing the system's expression of utter disbelief, Gu Yao seemed to have anticipated it.
He lowered his eyes and continued with what he was doing.
It's more reliable to rely on yourself to save yourself.
The system, defying fate, redeemed another item. Everything went exceptionally smoothly until it reached the redemption stage, at which point it got stuck on the redemption page and wouldn't budge.
Points were deducted, but the item wasn't obtained.
0529 wanted to try again, but Gu Yao stopped him first.
"Don't bother trying. In this world, you can't exchange items in the system shop anymore."
0529 turned her head in confusion, looking at Gu Yao who had expected this, and a troubled expression appeared on her face.
Why does the host know everything?
It makes his system seem very unprofessional.
Gu Yao looked at the system in front of him, its face all scrunched up, and wanted to reach out and flick its bald head.
But his hands were still tied.
That's really a bit of a shame.
"Little Jiu, don't think about it anymore, be careful not to burn out the CPU. Just ask whatever you want to ask."
The system sighed, looked at the boy in front of it, and asked again, "Host, why can't we exchange for items in this world anymore?"
Gu Yao continued working, rubbing the rope against the blade with his fingertips while answering the system's questions.
"I already knew he wanted to kill me beforehand after that bastard gave me that mental suggestion last time."
But as soon as I lay down in the bathtub and touched the water, I became fully conscious. I just didn't expect him to have a double precaution: the sleeping pills took effect immediately.
"If Qi Xuan had come back even a little later, I might really be dead."
