Chapter 48 The Village of No Life
Yan Xun then browsed through the other items and weapons in the shop.
Sure enough, any item that could be made into a legend was marked with a "???" symbol in the store.
[Item: Chicken Feeder Bowl (D-Rank Item??????)]
[Grandpa Qian's chicken feeder is said to be a ritual implement used in ancient times, a family heirloom~]
Yan Xun: "..."
"Your online store really doesn't rip off poor people?"
The system didn't dare to speak, after all, Yan Xun was still sitting in the unfinished villa. It cautiously glanced at Yan Xun's expression again, then quietly transformed into a fluffy little duck and came to Yan Xun's knee to act cute.
[Host, host, let's take a look at Gui Yuchong.]
What if he gets injured in the hallway?
Perhaps to evoke Yan Xun's meager compassion, the system kept poking Yan Xun's knee with its little flat mouth, saying, "Host, host, please!"
"Try clamping it again."
Yan Xun said.
The system immediately covered its flat mouth with its two fluffy little wings, indicating that it would not speak.
Yan Xun released Gui Yuchong.
The sofa wasn't big enough, so he had to lie on the floor for the time being.
Looking at Gui Yuchong on the ground, eyes closed, not breathing, his appearance not ferocious, as if he were just asleep... Yan Xun couldn't help but rub his arms, "I'm a little scared of this face now."
He still remembered that when he left the Meimei Building, Gui Yuchong melted before his eyes like a candle, and then turned into an extremely terrifying appearance.
—As for what it looked like, he couldn't remember.
All memories of that moment have vanished.
He only remembers a splitting pain in his head, blood flowing from his nose and ears, and seeing something he shouldn't have seen.
But all of this pain disappeared after leaving the instance and returning to the game space.
Yan Xun squatted down, looked at Gui Yuchong lying on the ground, and poked his cheek. "Not bad, not hard."
—A lame joke suddenly popped into his head: "Husband's hard, turns out he's dead."
"It's good that it's not hard, it's good that it's not hard." The system bounced around, patting its chest.
Yan Xun: "..."
This episode's dialogue is most like a risqué short video!
He looked at Gui Yuchong lying on the ground and felt that compared to his initial state, he seemed to have regained some color in his face.
As if remembering something, Yan Xun suddenly lay down under the system's gaze—
"Host, you can go back to your room if you want to sleep," the system said, puzzled.
Yan Xun ignored it, but after lying down, he gestured to show Gui Yuchong's height and then said to the system with certainty, "I am taller than him."
“He…” Yan Xun estimated the height difference between the two, “178 cm, right?”
He suspected that the Gui Yuchong in the dungeon was 187cm tall, and that the two numbers were simply reversed!
……
Because it was the first time Yan Xun had completed the dungeon, he had three days to rest.
During this time, he received friend requests from Li Wu, Chi Yuan, and Shen Rui, as well as threatening messages from Su Yumin—the latter of whom he blocked directly as spam.
When the three days were up, Yan Xun walked out of the bedroom, stuffed Gui Yuchong, who was lying on the ground like a corpse, into the empty space of his backpack, and set off.
The system, however, maintained its fluffy duckling form and stayed obediently on Yan Xun's shoulder.
"What kind of instance are you referring to this time?" Yan Xun asked.
Because he was forced to continue playing, the system had previously promised to reveal the general plot of the dungeon to him.
[Don't worry, host! This dungeon is really easy.]
[You're playing the role of a random passerby who's gone to your parents' hometown for your cousin's wedding...]
[Absolutely safe! Plus, there are experienced players in this dungeon; just follow them.]
Yan Xun: "With you saying that, I really can't rest easy."
……
When Yan Xun woke up again, he found himself in the back seat of a car.
Perhaps because the road was rough, the car swayed back and forth. A middle-aged couple sat in the front, both with serious expressions. It wasn't until they saw Yan Xun wake up that the woman driving spoke, "I told you not to play games too late."
“Hey, it’s summer vacation, it’s okay for the kids to play a little longer…” the man said again.
At this moment, some information about the story came to Yan Xun's mind.
During the summer vacation after the college entrance examination, Yan Xun, who was idly playing games at home, discovered that her parents had received a letter from a distant relative.
It says that one of his distant cousins got married and invited them back to attend the wedding.
The expressions of Yan Xun's parents upon receiving the invitation were far from joyful. Yan Xun's mother, in particular, stared at the invitation as if it had truly become a bomb.
But soon, Yan Xun's mother noticed his arrival and immediately changed the expression on her face.
"Since you're free anyway this summer, why don't you come with us to our hometown?"
"Hometown?"
"I haven't been back for many years."
Yan Xun's mother put away the invitation. "That Yan Yu is really something. He did something big without making a sound."
Because he took his mother's surname, Yan Yu was actually his cousin's name.
So, half a month later, the Yan family packed their bags and embarked on their journey back home... This was the point at which Yan Xun entered the instance.
"Mom, how much longer?"
Yan Xun asked from the back seat.
Only Yan Xun's mother knew the way back, so unless she was too tired, she drove most of the time.
"A few hours."
"It should arrive tonight."
"You'd better be sweet-talking them, don't keep giving me that sour look all the time... And I don't even want to talk about your hair!"
Yan Xun glanced at himself in the car window. He still had his familiar pudding-like hair hanging loosely over his shoulders. He wondered how the original owner, who had just finished the college entrance exam and whose summer vacation was not even halfway over, could have such long hair. He guessed that the dungeon didn't care about that.
Just as Yan Xun was about to close his eyes and rest again.
A sudden slam on the brakes nearly caused Yan Xun to hit his head on the passenger side.
"What's wrong?!" Yan Xun's father asked.
“…It’s nothing.” Yan Xun’s mother looked at the windshield with suspicion. “I think I just saw someone waving.”
But at this time, the mountain road was deserted in the evening.
"Don't scare me!"
"It wasn't scary, I clearly saw it just now..."
"Knock knock."
Yan Xun suddenly heard a knock on the glass beside him. While everyone in the car was terrified, a young man carrying an outdoor backpack bent down and said to Yan Xun and his family—
Are you going to Wusheng Village?
"Could you give me a ride?"
