Ji Lin'an frowned and smiled, "I think I have indeed put you in a difficult position."
I sighed and said, "Let's try it first. If it doesn't work, we'll think of something else."
Ji Lin'an nodded. We sat on the stools and watched the operation video repeatedly. After watching it several times, we followed the tutorial step by step to make it. Our brows were furrowed the whole time, so furrowed that they could have crushed a cockroach. We stayed in the space for almost fifteen hours. I was so sleepy that I could fall asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow.
Seeing my expression, Ji Lin'an said, "Let's wrap this up for today. Go back and get some sleep, then we'll continue."
I thought about it for a moment: "That won't do. If I don't finish it today, wouldn't it be a waste of tomorrow's usage?"
Ji Lin'an stood up: "It's just a minor illness. Can the usage time be changed if the item isn't finished yet?"
"Master, if you do not choose to abandon your work in the creation space, the number of times you can use it can be accumulated until the next working day. It can be stacked continuously, with a maximum of five times. After five times, the number of times will no longer be accumulated."
I stood up and stretched: "Okay then, let's go to sleep, I'm so sleepy."
Ji Lin'an waved his hand: "Okay, you go and rest first, I'll take another look at where the problem lies."
I nodded groggily and left the space, when I was suddenly called back. Ji Lin'an also came out.
I strained to open my eyes and asked, "Didn't you say you wanted to stay a little longer?"
Ji Lin'an said helplessly, "I wish I could, but it seems I can't stay in your space alone."
I yawned: "Okay, perfect timing. You should rest too. Get a good night's sleep and we'll continue the fight tomorrow."
After saying that, we went back to our room to sleep.
We got up early the next morning and continued working. We had already completed most of it on the first day, and the remaining parts were much easier to work on. Just when the piece was almost finished, a minor problem popped up.
"Warning! Warning! The master's body is being harmed. Please exit the space immediately to defend yourself."
Ji Lin'an and I were startled and immediately exited the space. When I opened my eyes, a man was stabbing me with a knife. I instinctively reached out to block, but the dagger pierced my palm. I kicked the man away and turned to check on Ji Lin'an's injuries. Ji Lin'an had already fallen into a coma, and blood was gushing from his chest. Without Ji Lin'an's weapon, I could only chase the assassin, throwing whatever I could grab at him. Suddenly, the man paused. During his pause, I turned and ran to the second floor. I immediately used the Anywhere Door to enter the address of the next room. Just a second before I teleported, I saw the assassin arrive in front of me. I successfully teleported to the next room.
Through the telescope, I saw the assassin frozen in place. I remembered the mysterious man saying that the person who killed him had the ability to teleport. He hadn't used it just now, I didn't know if it was because he was underestimating the enemy or if the skill was on cooldown. The assassin turned around and searched through the rooms. The assassin went up to the third floor, and I saw Ji Lin'an in the living room on the first floor struggling to get up. He was still alive! In my surprise, I took out my phone, entered the address of the floor below without confirming, and shouted the command back to Ji Lin'an's house. I grabbed Ji Lin'an and immediately used the teleportation function, successfully bringing him out. I helped Ji Lin'an sit on the sofa. The downstairs house had Chinese-style solid wood furniture. Ji Lin'an shifted uncomfortably as he lay down, making a hissing sound as if his wound was being torn. I went over to check Ji Lin'an's wound. The wound was on the left side of his chest, near the middle. It didn't seem to have hit his heart, but the wound was still bleeding profusely. I turned around and looked for something in the house that could stop the bleeding. After searching around, I finally ran to the bathroom and grabbed the only roll of toilet paper. I pulled out a few meters of paper, crumpled it into a ball, and pressed it tightly onto Ji Lin'an's wound. Ji Lin'an grabbed my hand: "Just kill me too. Although I'm not in immediate danger, without medical facilities, I'll bleed to death or the wound will get infected."
I shook my head frantically: "I couldn't save you last time, but I definitely won't let you die this time. Use the treasure chest to conjure up some hemostatic needles and disinfectant, and we'll stop the bleeding now."
Ji Lin'an smiled weakly: "It's no use. I know whether my body can hold on or not. If I die any later, that assassin will get my skills. How will you survive then? Do you still want to catch bullets with your bare hands?"
I continued to shake my head: "I don't care. I'd rather he get your skills than kill you with my own hands. I can't do it. At worst, I'll die with you. Stop talking and quickly use the treasure chest to conjure up the hemostatic needle."
Ji Lin'an couldn't resist my insistence, so he took out his phone to open the app store, but no matter how he tapped the software, nothing happened.
I frantically tapped my phone: "What's going on? Is it a bug?"
Ji Lin'an kept staring at me: "It's possible that the assassin cut off the power to our computers."
I immediately took out my phone and activated the "Thousand-Mile Vision" feature, but both "Thousand-Mile Vision" and "Anywhere Door" were ineffective.
I almost cried: "Mine won't open either."
Ji Lin'an didn't say anything, but forced a smile and pulled me into his arms: "Let me hold you for a while."
I didn't say anything, just lay quietly in Ji Lin'an's arms, tears streaming down my face uncontrollably: "So this is how hard it is to live a good life."
Ji Lin'an smiled with some regret: "Yes, if I had known there would be an apocalypse, I would have found you much sooner."
I turned to look at Ji Lin'an: "What do you want with me?"
"I'll ask you for 8 yuan."
I was completely confused: "Huh? What, 8 yuan?"
Ji Lin'an's gaze drifted away: "I ran into you outside a small supermarket one year. I saw you rush into the supermarket, grab an ice pop, take a bite, and then go to the cashier to pay. You only had 5 yuan in your hand, but the ice pop cost 8 yuan. I still remember how embarrassed you looked, standing there dumbfounded. I felt sorry for you, so I paid for you and turned around and left. I thought you would come after me and ask for my contact information, but when I turned around, you ran away in the opposite direction."
