After heading back to China, Song Xuanhe had participated in a few banquets. He had gotten together with Zhou Nan and Xiao Shenglin and also had had a meal with Wei Chen. In less than a week’s time, he had already bought a plane ticket to leave China.

Song Xuanhe always travelled rather aimlessly. A lot of the time, he would suddenly think of a city. When that would happen, he wouldn’t even plan his itinerary. He would simply buy a plane ticket for the next day and leave. Once, because of his willfulness, he had even wasted five days’ time to change flights while on-route, because he had seen a photo of another city’s scenery.

He had travelled from the Southern Hemisphere to the Northern Hemisphere, from Asia to Europe to North America. He had gone bungee-jumping and parachuting in seek of thrills. Prompted by impulse, he had also run off to a small theatre to play with professionals even though he had only learned acting for five or six years as a child. He had even escaped to the Amazons to take pictures of panthers and look young Marsh Deers in the eye while in slovenly clothes. He had also visited highly rated Michelin-star restaurants in exquisite clothes.

For the next three months, Song Xuanhe travelled seemingly non-stop.

By the time he had realized that he hadn’t contacted anyone in a really long time, he was already in X Country. Even if he wanted to contact his friends and family, he couldn’t.

【What are you doing here?】The System was confused：【There’s still two more months left until you’re supposed to go home. Brother, you’re not planning to live out these last two months under gunfire, are you?】

Song Xuanhe, who had not heard the System call him “Brother” in a long time, suddenly felt kinship between them. For once, his tone was amicable：【I was telling the truth when I had said that I wanted to find unique materials and dyeing methods. I wasn’t lying to Zhang Chao.】

【But, it’s really dangerous here. This is one of the most dangerous countries in this world.】The System said in a grave tone：【Do you know how many people die here daily? The average number of deaths is 67 people a day! Everyone else wants to escape this place. You’re the only person in the world trying to get in.】

Song Xuanhe knocked on the inn’s door and raised a brow. “This is a safety zone. There’s nothing to fear.”

【There’s no such thing as a safety zone in a war-torn country.】The System said：【According to what I know, there was a gunfight here two days ago because of a turf war. Three people died, and fifteen were injured. You’re not safe at all.】

The inn’s door opened a crack. Song Xuanhe smiled at the person and spoke in English. He introduced himself and told the person inside that a X Country citizen he had met on his journey had recommended this place to him.

The person on the other side of the door was a middle-aged man wearing a kind of headscarf. When he heard what Song Xuanhe had said, he was shocked. At first, he surveyed the outside surroundings vigilantly. When he discovered that Song Xuanhe was alone, he looked at the smiling young man. He then cracked the door open a bit more, said something in his local language, and let Song Xuanhe in.

We’re sorry for MTLers or people who like using reading mode, but our translations keep getting stolen by aggregators so we’re going to bring back the copy protection. If you need to MTL please retype the gibberish parts.
Song Xuanhe thanked the man in the local language. The System was saying in his head: 【I would recommend that you go home.】
