What exactly is this strange feeling of unease?

Wu Yu, who spent all his time holed up in his room, inevitably fell into a trance of overthinking. There was no way around it; there was no internet in this other world to kill time. Can you imagine the pain of having nothing to do for three days except eat and sleep?

Wu Yu would get up early every day to watch the sunrise, eat breakfast, then watch the pedestrians, and when he got tired, he would go back to sleep. After getting up, he would watch the sunset. He was regressing into some kind of animal that could only eat and hum.

This extreme boredom reminded Wu Yu of the summer homework he did when his parents weren't home, and how he had to pay the price of feeling like every second was an eternity while he was slacking off.

It's not that Wu Yu didn't want to go out and have fun at all; the main problem was that Jack's actions were too conspicuous, practically courting death. Although he only went over to say hello to Princess Philliss every day when she went out, he didn't cause any big news.

But what about those hot-blooded adventurers? They also want to pursue that beautiful woman, but unfortunately, they are not nobles, and even saying hello would be considered an offense.

Jealousy is so easily born when you get what I can't.

The phrase "caught in the crossfire" perfectly describes Wu Yu.

Furthermore, Wu Yu once asked Jack why he always encountered Princess Philliss whenever he went out, and Jack's exact words were...

“It’s not that I run into Phillis every time I go out; it’s that I only go out when Phillis is out.”

What else can Wu Yu do? They've already made it clear that they're up to something. If you still go and join in the fun, you're just asking for trouble.

Of course, this is also because Wu Yu doesn't care about Jack's purpose. As long as Jack doesn't mess things up, Wu Yu doesn't care about him.

But understanding the principles is one thing, and putting them into practice is another.

If Wu Yu had been able to be absolutely self-disciplined, he could have flipped a coin to decide whether to go to Tsinghua or Peking University, instead of sitting in a chair all night just to compare the overall strength of dozens of universities. In the end, he wouldn't have ended up being transported to this tragic world because of his addiction to games.

With the day of departure seemingly far off, Wu Yu finally couldn't resist a certain impulse deep within his soul. He decided to sneak out for a walk today.

"Are you going out?" A greeting came from next door as soon as Wu Yu stepped out of his room. The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Wu Yu to hear, and probably wouldn't disturb the other guests.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" Wu Yu's voice wasn't loud either, because he thought Jack should be able to hear him.

"It's nothing, just remember not to go too far."

What came was just a simple instruction, like the ordinary concern between friends.

Wu Yu waited for a while to make sure Jack really had nothing else to say before leaving. The two had somehow developed a tacit understanding: if you don't ask, I won't say anything, as if nothing had happened.

"Hey, isn't this the toad's little tagalong?" Wu Yu was spotted by a sharp-eyed adventurer as soon as he came downstairs. The man gave Wu Yu a provocative look and shouted loudly in a jeering tone.

"Swish, swish, swish." All eyes in the crowd immediately turned to him. There was curiosity, jealousy, schadenfreude, and pity among them. In short, because of just one sentence, Wu Yu became the focus of attention in the eyes of this group of adventurers with considerable strength.

Wu Yu couldn't help but admire Jack's skill; in just three days, he seemed to have become a prominent figure here.

"The words of an idiot are inherently flawed, and as a normal person, I have no need to pay attention to them." After mentally mocking the troublemaker with a self-deceptive gamble, Wu Yu chose to ignore him.

The adventurers who stayed in the deserted city were mostly preparing for their missions, a process that was often quite boring.

Therefore, they are always happy to do things that allow them to have some fun without paying a price, but they will try to avoid doing things that are malicious. Seeing that Wu Yu did not reply, they had no choice but to give up.

Noticing that everyone's attention was starting to shift away from him, Wu Yu continued his actions. He went to the counter and casually asked, "Boss lady, do you have any jobs that are easy and quick to make money?"

Jack is now covering all his basic needs, but Wu Yu hasn't forgotten that he's penniless. As the saying goes, you can't move an inch without money, so it's great to be able to earn a little money while passing the time.

"Heh, if I knew where such a good thing was, do you think I would still be staying in a place like this?" The proprietress rolled her eyes at Wu Yu and said irritably.

"Please help me out. It's not easy, but something that doesn't cost much is fine too, as long as it can be settled quickly." Wu Yu compromised. He was also going crazy from this kind of life and was just hoping to find something to do to pass the time, which was also a way to give himself an excuse for being restless.

"Oh, perfect timing! My son's just gotten out of school. If you go and pick him up for me, I'll give you ten copper coins as a reward," the landlady joked.

Her words were actually somewhat sarcastic. Ten copper coins were only enough for a meal. In her opinion, this guy who came with that arrogant nobleman, although he looked ordinary, was definitely not the kind of person who cared about such a small amount of money.

She felt that Wu Yu had deliberately come over to chat her up. It wasn't that she was narcissistic; although the landlady was getting on in years, she still retained her charm. There were quite a few adventurers who had their eyes on her, as evidenced by the fact that this not-so-luxurious hotel was so popular.

"OK."

"Actually..." The proprietress had already prepared how to get rid of Wu Yu after being rejected, but to her surprise, Wu Yu agreed immediately without the slightest hesitation.

"Where is it located?" Wu Yu pressed on.

"The abandoned school in the east of the city." The proprietress, still not quite in a daze, subconsciously gave out a place name.

"Okay, leave it to me, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly." Wu Yu gave an OK sign, and without waiting for the landlady's reply, he turned and left, as if afraid she would take back the task.

"Hey, do you know the way? And you've never seen my son before!" the proprietress shouted, but Wu Yu had already rushed out the door and couldn't hear her at all.

"Could he be mentally challenged? Probably not, his companion seems quite reliable!" the proprietress muttered to herself, but she didn't intend to chase after him.

Although the desolate city is usually quite boring, it is not lacking in strange people and events. As for her, who is naturally a bit dim-witted, she has seen it all. Not meddling in other people's business has always been the way of life for small people like them.
