He used to have a cold face in the hopes of scaring people away and keeping them from getting close to him.

But this time, he promised his parents that he would greet anyone who approached him with a smile.

He did as instructed.

Is this the consequence...?

Touching the goosebumps that had risen on his arms, the man's face grew even paler.

"No, Master said that the purpose of sending you out this time is to treat your illness, so you must try to interact with other people as much as possible."

"Young Master, please keep up the good work."

The man's face fell instantly. The thought of having to be in close contact with other people made his vision go black, and he felt dizzy. Then... he knew nothing more.

"Oh no! The young master has fainted!"

"Quick, pinch his philtrum!"

Lu Wu was completely unaware of the chaos that followed her departure. Her first action was to rush into the shops and buy several World Passes.

Once one is ready, the rest are for later use.

The moment Lu Wu connected to the internet, she browsed through the long-awaited posts, feeling incredibly relaxed and refreshed.

"System, let's make a deal. Don't send me to places without internet access anymore."

The system did not respond to Lu Wu's increasingly demanding requests.

Lu Wu pouted and looked through the messages before realizing that Qin Zhan and others had almost flooded her private messages.

"Mr. Lu, are you alright? Can you still contact us?"

"Mr. Lu, can you still send location information? We're coming to find you."

These few messages are relatively normal, but what are the ones below?

"Boss Lu, has our relationship become so distant that you even have to hide it from us when you go out to set up your stall?"

"Tell me, what delicious food are you going to sell this time that you don't want us to see?"

"Seriously, Mr. Lu? You really aren't replying to any messages? Fine, we won't eat here. Just give us your address and we'll come help you."

"Huh, they didn't fall for it."

"Okay, I was wrong, Mr. Lu, please save some of the good stuff for us."

"The child is hungry and wants to eat."

...

Lu Wu was furious. Were these people worried about her safety, or were they worried about their own food?

She counted the hundreds of messages from the "tools" (users), but only a handful were genuinely concerned about her; the rest were all inquiring about the food she was going to eat at the stall.

That's outrageous.

Block them all.

Fortunately, the singing and dancing young men and women on Yijietong soothed Lu Wu's psychological trauma with their enthusiasm.

Ignoring the pop-up donation page, Lu Wu swiped her finger to select the next option.

With so many beautiful women around, she wouldn't stop for just one.

She is a woman who embraces the entire forest.

After finding an inn, Lu Wu locked himself in his room and frantically farmed the entire game for two whole days without going out.

Only after making up for the regret of the seven-day hiatus and easing his internet addiction did Lu Wu put down the One World Pass and prepare to get out and connect with nature.

"Boss Lu, why didn't you tell us you were back? We were so worried about you."

This is news from Qin Che.

Ha, what a lie.

"Boss Lu, my master said he'd like to invite you to a get-together."

Excuses, all excuses.

After removing the individuals from the blacklist, Lu Wu learned that the "tools" were on their way.

She's been in Xizhou for so long, and she hasn't even had a chance to explore it yet.

As for the tools, let them come after us if they dare.

Compared to Nanzhou, Xizhou has a more primitive appearance, and its markets have things that Nanzhou doesn't have.

Lu Wu, who loves cooking, received many good things here.

For example, the chili pepper that is said to be the best in the world, with its colorful black color.

His appearance alone is very convincing.

Lu Wu didn't linger in one place for too long, since the teleportation arrays between cities were very useful anyway.

The tools being taken for a ride: The baby is suffering, but the baby won't say it.

Ultimately, it was the system that broke the game of chasing and running.

A new task has arrived.

[This task: Sell 1,111 portions of insects within seven days.]

Designated Location: Divine Healer's Hall

[Designated Time: Early Shen Time to Late You Time]

The hours for setting up a stall are quite good, from 3 pm to 7 pm.

When asked whether insects are edible, Lu Wu gave an affirmative answer: in some parts of Blue Star, insects are a local delicacy.

However, Lu Wu had doubts about this idea after opening the recipe.

Due to environmental limitations, the edible insects on Blue Star are generally small. However, in the Azure Realm, where spiritual energy is abundant, the insects here are of unusually large size.

Looking at the fist-sized grasshopper on the menu, with its menacing head and horns, Lu Wu felt that this was a psychological test for the diners.

After all, this thing looks a bit creepy.

The mission starts tomorrow, so there's no time to lose; Lu Wu needs to get back to Nanzhou.

"Boss Lu, wait for us!"

On the teleportation array, after Lu Wu handed over the spirit stones to select the teleportation location, she heard Lou Xiaotian's loud voice.

look up.

Not far away, several workers came running.

Their eager expressions made Lu Wu feel their sincerity.

Fine, I'll forgive them this time.

"goodbye."

Lu Wu smiled and waved, his entire body disappearing into the light of the teleportation array.

Let's go.

Thump!

Lou Xiaotian fell to the ground, and there was no one in front of him.

"Young master, there's no need for such a grand gesture when using the teleportation array."

The guards nearby kindly reminded him.

"Cough, I know."

Lou Xiaotian wiped the dust off his face and numbly got up.

These past few days they've been chasing after Lu Wu, and they're about to catch up with him, but each time he manages to go somewhere new a little earlier to avoid them.

"Who tipped off Boss Lu this time?"

He was very dissatisfied.

He suspected there was a mole within the team tipping off Boss Lu, but no one admitted it.

Lou Xiaotian was confident that he was not the mole.

Brushing the dust off his clothes, Lou Xiaotian glanced at the messages on Yijietong and chuckled.

Boss Lu said he'd give him one so he could reveal everyone's whereabouts.

How can this be called betrayal? This is called seeking personal gain.

"Boss Lu has returned to Nanzhou."

On Jiang Yunhe's Yijietong page was Lu Wu's homepage, where location services were enabled, showing the cities of Nanzhou.

A single sentence successfully diverted attention.

He exhaled quietly.

That was close, we almost got caught.

But it's worth it for just one.

"Really? Waaah, has Boss Lu finally remembered his family by the South Lake?"

"Stop shouting, let's go back too."

Qin Zhan glanced at it and made a decision.

He has to go get it; this stuff sounds delicious.

The group stood on the teleportation array, seemingly eager to return home, but in reality, each harbored their own ulterior motives.

If people who are tempted by a tool observe carefully, they will find that their companions are all ghosts, and none of them are human.

However, even the simple takoyaki (octopus balls) learned to disguise themselves in the face of delicious food.

Food helps people grow; this is true.

One of a kind, here I come!
