Chapter 45 Chapter 45 The River Monster
What does it feel like to drown?
He Junxia felt that he had a lot to say on this issue - the painful feeling of suffocation and the ubiquitous oppression seemed to drive people crazy.
Anyone who has experienced it once will never want to experience it a second time.
After escaping the flood, He Junxia stood in the rest area for a long time before coming to his senses, gradually withdrawing his mind and body from the pain.
[Internship Task 1: Survive for Two Years (Completed)]
[Task Reward: 30 Spacetime Points]
【Rest time: 72 hours】
Seeing that the numbers in his personal account were no longer just zeros, He Junxia felt much better and began to look around the space in front of him.
The so-called rest space is similar to a single room in an ordinary hotel, covering an area of about 15 square meters, with a bed, a desk, a wardrobe, a window, a computer, and a bathroom. Apart from that, there is nothing extra.
He Junxia walked forward and tried to push open the window.
He was prepared to use force, but he didn't expect that the window was pushed open easily without any effort.
A red sun hung high in the sky, and the large amount of sunlight poured down, forcing He Junxia to squint slightly. Under the sunlight were rows of tall buildings.
He Junxia:?!
He Junxia tried to stretch out his right hand towards the window, but was surprised to find that his right hand was blocked by an invisible barrier.
Can't get out?
Could it be that the Space-Time Administration was afraid that the taskers would find the resting space cramped, so they deliberately put up a lifelike giant poster outside the window?
He Junxia asked System 444 in her mind, but received no response for a long time. She began to wonder if she had been cheated by the black-hearted Administration.
He turned on the desktop computer on his desk. The computer interface was no different from any other computer on the market. He could listen to music, play games, watch movies, and even used search software.
"The Tasker's Home?"
He Junxia looked at the blue software in the upper right corner of the screen, moved the mouse and clicked to open it, and the registration interface popped up on the screen.
【Please enter the tasker number】
He Junxia entered his internship task number and system number 444.
[We have detected that you are an intern. This software is only available to regular users. Please work hard to become a regular user.]
He Junxia: ...
The silence in the air was deafening.
He Junxia closed the Tasker's Home, opened the browser and searched for the name of the capital of the country in the native world. A dense amount of information popped up on the screen instantly.
But none of them came from his native world.
He Junxia lowered his eyes in disappointment. He had taken it for granted. If the taskers could access their own country's network through a browser, then wouldn't they be able to easily contact their families?
The Space-Time Administration, which uses resurrection as a temptation, would not fail to think of this.
He Junxia opened the wardrobe and found a complete set of clothes, a pair of cotton slippers, and a pair of sandals.
The clothes he was wearing now were still the same ones he wore when he was bound to the system. His clothes and pants were already stained with blood. Although they didn't feel sticky, they looked weird.
He Junxia took out her clothes and went to the bathroom to take a shower. The bathroom was fully equipped with cleaning supplies and a small bathtub, but there was no toilet.
However, he is in a soul state and has no physiological needs, so naturally he does not need a toilet. Taking a bath and changing clothes are just psychological needs.
Due to the remaining psychological fear of water, He Junxia did not use the bathtub and took a quick shower.
There was no need to wipe the hair in the soul state. He Junxia changed into clean clothes and buried herself in the quilt and fell into a deep sleep.
Sleep, play games, read books...
Three days passed in a flash, and He Junxia opened the system to check the second internship task.
【Task has been extracted】
[Internship Task 2: Going Home]
[About to enter the mission world, countdown 10, 9, 8, 7...]
…
"yeah!"
“Hahahahahahahaha”
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa."
He Junxia opened his eyes amidst the shrill noise and found himself sitting on a speeding boat. The cool night breeze gave him goosebumps.
Who am I? Where am I? What am I going to do?
He Junxia mentally questioned the system that seemed to have crashed, and a moment later a wave of memories flooded into his mind.
Good man, this is asking for death.
He Junxia silently lit a cigarette for the four people on the boat. What high school student would not study hard and row a boat into a wildlife reserve at night?
It’s not gone, it’s really not gone.
He Junxia frantically took out his cell phone and called the police, but unfortunately the call didn't go through. The big words "No Signal" on the screen irritated his eyes.
It’s easy to imagine that the second internship task will not be that easy.
But He Junxia still wanted to fight for it.
He grabbed the spirited young man who was driving the boat and said, "Thomas, go back. Let's go back quickly. It's very dangerous here."
The spirited young man laughed uncontrollably: "Hey, John, you coward, there is no danger here."
A blonde girl said, "We have to trust Thomas."
He Junxia: ...Don't believe him.
If there was no danger, would he be sent here by the system?
The other brown-haired girl smiled and said, "Relax, this will definitely be a very memorable adventure."
He Junxia ignored their words and thought expressionlessly about how to grab the steering wheel without capsizing the boat - he had not completely let go of his fear of water.
Besides, this is a famous wildlife sanctuary, not an ordinary city river. Who knows what is hidden in the water.
But perhaps because he was too excited or wanted to show off in front of the two girls, the energetic young man, Thomas, turned the steering wheel more and more vigorously, and the hull swayed sharply to the right, sprinting at high speed in the undercurrent of the waves, splashing a large amount of water.
He Junxia held on tightly to the edge of the boat to avoid being thrown into the water by the shaking hull, while he could hear the laughter and cheers of the three young people.
Destroy, I'm tired.
While He Junxia used various methods to persuade the spirited young man, she placed several bags that might contain supplies on the boat next to her where she could reach them at any time.
Barbara, the brown-haired girl, looked at his movements curiously, but her attention was quickly drawn back by her best friend, who was enjoying the night view of the reserve with a flashlight.
"That's enough, John. You should act like a man, not a coward. Otherwise, Barbara will never be able to..."
Amid the young man's impatient voice, the speeding boat was suddenly pushed into the sky by a huge force.
