After changing his clothes and leaving the kitchen, Cen Yu saw He Yuxing, who had also changed his clothes.

The few feathers that had fallen were carefully placed on the clothes that had been taken off.

Cen Yu found an abandoned iron bucket, threw all the clothes he had changed out of into it, and then took out the ignition source he had prepared... He lit the ignition source and threw it into the iron bucket, and the clothes inside the bucket quickly caught fire.

The clothes prepared for them inside the tower were thin and soft, all made of highly flammable materials.

The noodle shop's windows were broken years ago, and the ground is covered with dirty footprints and traces of other homeless people's lives—but because Qingshan Town has been abandoned for so long, few homeless people enter it now.

"Where are we going?" He Yuxing was wearing a long robe to cover his conspicuous wings.

“The digital zone,” Cen Yu said.

"I heard some big shots are forming a team there," he said, repeating the lie from the original work.

In the novel, besides the teams formed by hunters in the wild, the rest are some official teams from the digital zone—used to explore for resources that can be used in dungeons.

For someone like Cen Yu, whose identity is awkward, joining an official team is obviously a good job. Compared to wild hunter teams, these official teams have better equipment and have mutants specifically responsible for healing. Similarly, the dungeons they can go to are either explored or determined by the "wise men" in the area to be places with little risk—unlike the randomly appearing dungeons in the wilderness, the risks are lower.

In the original work, he also always wanted to join the official team.

The two rewards he received from selling "Angel" to District One were permanent residency in District One and the opportunity to join an official squad.

He Yuxing nodded as if he understood, seemingly not caring much about Cen Yu's plans... He tugged at his cloak, then looked out the window at the streets of Qingshan Town, "When are we leaving?"

“Tonight,” Cen Yu said.

They need to stay somewhere for a while, waiting for the hunter team that the protagonist is attacking.

Cen Yu looked at the clothes inside the iron bucket, which were almost completely burned to ashes. "Let's go," he said to He Yuxing.

He Yuxing gripped his cloak and glanced at the contents of the metal bucket. "Don't we need to clean up the bucket?"

“No need,” Cen Yu said.

“They know we’ve come to Qingshan Town.” He burned his clothes to prevent them from being used as tracking tools by the masked man—he didn’t believe the noble guests in VIP room 001 would be so easy to talk to.

Cen Yu didn't care about the small fry who followed in their footsteps to Qingshan Town.

The closest place to Qingshan Town is a rural middle school... There's a chance a small instance will appear there.

It's perfect for dealing with stalkers.

Perhaps because they were wary of Cen Yu's behavior inside the tower, they were unsure of what his ability was, so they did not approach rashly. However, Cen Yu also guessed that they would not have to wait long—if they went too far away from the tower, unknown dungeons and mutants would appear in the wilderness, which would be too dangerous for people who lived inside the tower year-round.

Once we left that rural middle school, we were outside the tower's perimeter. If we were to take action, that would be our last chance.

...

He Yuxing looked at the spot that Cen Yu had chosen to settle down.

He looked up at the rural middle school that had been abandoned for decades. All the glass in the corridor was broken, and a large skull and cross had been painted on the wall in red paint, as if to tell the homeless people who came near that this was an extremely dangerous place.

"...Are we really going to sleep here for the night?" He Yuxing tugged at his cloak, looking a little uneasy.

“Our car doesn’t have much gas,” Cen Yu said.

He Yuxing didn't understand Cen Yu's meaning. He looked the middle school up and down and didn't think there would be gasoline hidden here.

No matter how you look at it, this middle school seems to have been robbed dozens of times; the walls are probably even peeled off.

"So we have to try our luck." Cen Yu thought, "For example, robbing the group behind us."

...

Ryan was standing in box number 001.

The big screen was broadcasting exciting footage live, showing not only the masked guest but also several other VIP guests from the private rooms.

When they saw Cen Yu leading He Yuxing into the noodle shop, someone chuckled and said, "He definitely doesn't expect that we're observing him."

The masked man sat on the white sofa at the very front.

He looked up at the screen and, seeing Cen Yu holding He Yuxing's arm as they walked towards the noodle shop, he tapped his knee with his finger. "How about we place a bet?"

"Let's see when he realizes he's being followed."

Scattered laughter rang out from the private room, as if they thought it was a pleasant suggestion.

Ryan stood in the corner, watching the images on the big screen—

The live stream started the moment Cen Yu left the tower. As long as they were within the tower's range, they could observe all of the other party's movements.

Of course, the VIPs in the private rooms also noticed the underlings (or rather, the warriors inside the tower) who had been secretly following behind Cen Yu after he left with the angels.

They watched it as if it were some kind of pre-apocalyptic reality show, making bets with great interest on when the poor young couple would finally realize they were being followed.

“I don’t like the Butcher,” someone in the crowd said. “He’s too rude, there’s no beauty in the fight, he’s just a boring brute.”

“Watch your words,” the butcher’s sponsor said disapprovingly, but after a few seconds he added, “The butcher does lack a certain aesthetic sense.”

"So I'm looking for a new sponsor." He said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, 001 beat me to it."
