With this mutual gratitude in mind, the two of them got along remarkably well.

Arno encouraged her to rest more, but Jin Shu, who had been in the previous world for so long that she was practically growing grass on her head, was really tired of resting.

Once he was sure she was in a good enough condition to start, Arno confidently launched her into the small world.

My consciousness was hazy, but familiar voices surrounded me.

"Mission complete."

Task evaluation result: Excellent+.

Tasker: Jin Shu.

Proceed to the next task? Yes.

Mission in progress...

The system successfully loaded after 48 hours.

Current time-to-flow ratio: 1:2, system upgrade in progress for 48 hours...

Upgrade successful, completed in 96 hours.

"Beep, beep, beep—beep beep beep, health points are critically low, please replenish health packs immediately!"

A series of urgent alarm sounds woke Jin Shu. She opened her eyes abruptly and realized that she was seriously injured before she could even see her surroundings. The wet feeling on her forehead reminded her that if she didn't do something soon, she might die at the beginning of this world.

Blood replenishment pack? What's a blood replenishment pack?

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, a transparent panel appeared out of thin air in front of Jin Shu's eyes. The last of the six attribute boxes, the Life Replenishment attribute box, popped up. There were more than a dozen squares in it, but except for the first square which showed 3 Health Packs, all the other squares were empty.

As Jin Shu's eyes flickered slightly, the number of health packs in that compartment suddenly disappeared. Just as she was wondering what was going on, a notification popped up on the screen in front of her.

[Health increased by 300, current health: 350/1000]

Looking at the empty attribute box, Jin Shu roughly understood her current situation.

This seems to be a more advanced sci-fi world than any other world before, but before she gets the original owner's memories, Jin Shu can't tell whether she has been thrown into the game as an NPC again.

After all, this art style looks somewhat familiar.

After the blood pack was replenished, Jin Shu clearly felt that the foot that had just stepped into the gates of hell had retracted.

Looking up at the surroundings, I saw that it was raining in the muddy alley, and there were dilapidated tin shacks on both sides. The shacks were dark and there was no sign of any living creature inside.

Jin Shu subconsciously looked up at the sky. She didn't know if it was evening or morning. The crisscrossing pipes overhead looked like the twisted and knotted tentacles of a monster, almost blocking out the sun, making the already cold environment here even more oppressive and gloomy.

Jin Shu had never seen such a thick pipe before.

Upon closer inspection, the thing that looked like an animal's throat was wriggling as if it were alive. Jin Shu could roughly guess that it was some kind of transport tube, but because it looked so disgusting, she looked away and decided to find a place to receive the memories.

Just then, several pairs of crimson eyes appeared in the darkness, staring menacingly in the direction where Jin Shu was. As they walked out of the dim alley, four "humans" with rat-like faces slowly approached. Their bodies were thin and long, their waists were bent over, but their arms were as short as rat forelimbs, and their hind legs were thick in the front and thin in the back with twisted joints, making them look incredibly agile.

When faced with something so unprecedented, Jin Shu's first reaction is usually to draw her sword.

With a slight shift of consciousness, the light screen panel reappeared before him, and the weapon attribute bar popped up, showing only three weapons. (End of Chapter)
