A long time after Lu Wenyi and Li Zhou left, Mu Xingchen, who was hiding not far away, had not yet adjusted from the state of extreme fear. He swallowed and asked in a difficult voice, "Did he mean what I understood by what he just said?"

  "If the host understands that Lu Wenyi intends to cripple your legs, then that should be what he meant."

  The weather was not too cold yet, but Mu Xingchen shuddered violently. He shrank down carefully, covered his face with a hat, and said to the system in his heart: "If the task is not completely completed after half a year, I will find a way. Don't let me be found by him within the next six months."

  "Don't worry, host~ No one will find you~"

  When he was preparing to escape, Mu Xingchen asked the system about the specific meaning of 'can't find', and finally confirmed that as long as he was not standing in front of Lu Wenyi in person, he would not be recognized. But now after hearing the conversation between Lu Wenyi and Li Zhou, he began to get scared again, fearing that the system could not prevent Lu Wenyi from finding him.

  Mu Xingchen slept intermittently for less than three hours. As soon as he fell asleep, he would dream of Lu Wenyi standing in front of him with a bloody knife. No matter how he cried and begged for mercy, it was useless. He would always wake up suddenly in the fear of having his legs chopped off.

  He silently observed the host's system for a night and recorded the data. He found that the data recorded in this world was almost more than the previous worlds combined.

  "Host, it's still early, sleep a little longer."

  Mu Xingchen shook his head silently. After a moment, he raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, "Let's find a job first."

  Although he can barely stand up with the help of crutches, he still has difficulty walking. It took him nearly two days to find a suitable job. Not only did he need to find a job, he also needed to escape the overwhelming search. After he was almost recognized by a passerby, he didn't even dare to use the wheelchair.
After receiving food at the shelter again, Mu Xingchen pulled up the mask on his face to avoid the staff's gaze. He supported his body with a stick he picked up from the park and moved to the corner with great effort. After turning around, he quietly pulled down the mask to eat. He was a little worried about his future source of income.

  "...It's playing again. It's been so many days. I'm afraid the person is long gone."

  "I feel like I was kidnapped. Otherwise, the whole city would be full of missing persons notices and news looking for this person. The person should have been found long ago."

  "If I could find him, the reward would be one million, enough for me to have food and clothing for the rest of my life. Hey..."

  On the TV in the lobby of the shelter, Mu Xingchen's photo was playing in a loop, and Mu Xingchen himself was squatting in the corner silently. He didn't pay attention to the news looking for him on TV, but was thinking that if he couldn't do his usual job, how else could he make money?

  "Host, can you play the guitar and sing? You can go to places with a lot of people to play the guitar and sing to earn some tips."

  Mu Xingchen, who had never expected this, straightened his back in surprise, "Yes! But how did you know I can play the guitar and sing?"

  "..." The system was silent for two seconds before answering, "When binding the host, I checked the host's information."

  Mu Xingchen clicked
He nodded and said nothing more. After all, he had died in a car accident. The system could revive him by completing tasks. Wouldn't it be easy to check his information? It was nothing strange.
