When Xiao Bailiu climbed out of the baptismal font, he hit his knee on the edge of the font because he was dizzy. He limped out and pushed open the church door with difficulty.

Outside, teachers were running and screaming in panic. The teachers who had just been chasing Xiao Bailiu all had looks of shock and fear on their faces. They were looking at the building in horror, which was still in the aftermath of the explosion. Sparks from the burning building from the private hospital were like fireflies in the night, flashing and glowing.

"There was a sudden explosion on the seventh floor of the private hospital! All the investors on that floor were seriously injured!"

"…The hospital informed us that this batch of children cannot be matched tomorrow. The investors need to recover, so they asked us to wait one more day, until Thursday…"

"There's nothing we can do. These children can't be sent to the hospital until Thursday..."

Xiao Bailiu held the door of the church and looked into the distance at the building that was burning in the night. It was as bright as a glowing charcoal in a pile of coals.

Mars was circling and rising, as dazzling as fireworks on the ground, warm and blinding. It was as if he, who had just been pulled out of the baptismal font and was standing in this cold orphanage church, was baked by such wanton brightness and temperature and no longer wanted to shiver.

That was another self, using his life to give him the opportunity to have one more day.

Xiao Bailiu took out the submerged phone and shook it, hesitating for a moment, not knowing if this thing could still be used.

The dean was going to take the phone and coin manager away from him, but before she could do so, hers were taken away from her.

Xiao Bailiu called Bai Liu once, twice, and three times, but the call didn't get through. However, Xiao Bailiu still didn't give up. He kept dialing, and finally got through after who knows how many times.

"Hey." Xiao Bailiu asked calmly, "Are you still alive?"

The smiling voice on the other side coughed twice due to the smoke and replied lazily: "I thought I was going to be blown to death, but I'm still alive. What, you really didn't run away? You called me so early?"

"No." Xiao Bailiu replied calmly without any sense of failure, "There were dead investor monsters guarding the gate, so I gave up."

Bai Liu was not surprised: "After all, it's a second-level game. It's not that easy to escape and the death rate can't be controlled."

He coughed twice and then said slowly, "But it's not your style to give up when you see a monster. I thought you would use the props in the game manager to try to break out. After all, this is a rare chance to escape. Why, did something unexpected happen that made you give up?"

Xiao Bailiu opened his lips, paused, and answered Bai Liu: "Well, I considered using [Passenger's Blessing] to break through."

"My plan is to have Miao Feichi and the others rush out and try to find a faster means of transportation—a car—on the new map outside the orphanage."

"Today, so many wealthy investors came. The private hospital is so close. Tomorrow they will come to pick us up again. It is very likely that some investors have parked their cars outside and have not driven away. With transportation, we can use [Passenger's Blessing] to repel the investor monsters outside. Although this is risky, we can try to escape."

Bai Liu said with a half-smile, "Then you can invisibly sacrifice Miao Feichi and Miao Gaozhuang in the process of exploring the way. In this way, you can not only help me kill these two people, but also complete the deal with Miao Feichi and his friends. You did help Miao Feichi and his friends escape from the orphanage gate. You did not break the deal with them to [take you out of the orphanage], and in the end you successfully escaped with the child I asked you to save."

"Killing three birds with one stone is indeed a good idea and worth a try." Bai Liu commented objectively and with appreciation.

When Xiao Bailiu heard the comments, the corners of his mouth curled up, but he quickly straightened them again.

"So, why did you give up this good plan?" Bai Liu asked softly, "What happened?"

Xiao Bailiu was silent for a long time before he spoke: "Liu Jiayi was in trouble. She vomited blood while running away. She couldn't get timely treatment when we ran away. I feel she will die soon."

"But there is a doctor in the orphanage, so you stayed for her." Bai Liu's voice was slightly surprised. "Wow... this is actually a choice you would make. I thought you would immediately abandon her and run away, because it is obvious that you have a higher vested interest in this choice."

Xiao Bailiu clenched his fists and pursed his lips. He was reluctant to refute Bai Liu's somewhat sarcastic words: "... Am I making the wrong choice by staying here?"

"That's not the case." Bai Liu's voice slowly softened again, "From the perspective of common values, the choice you made should be considered the right one."

Xiao Bailiu said in a low voice, with an indescribable sense of depression: "But neither you nor I have gained anything. The correctness of proletarian values ​​is so strange."

"Because the correctness of proletarian values ​​means dedication to others - it is others who get things, not you and me." Bai Liu chuckled and said, "Liu Jiayi got life, and her brother got a living sister. Now he is thanking me and you."

"You're doing really well, Xiaobailiu."

Xiao Bailiu opened his lips slightly, and a confused expression appeared on his face, but he soon returned to his expressionless state: "Oh, then tell her brother that I don't do things for free. Remember to charge a fee, at least higher than our vested interests. But overall, this is a wrong decision for me."

“——I didn’t make it out of the orphanage.”

"That's nothing. I anticipated that you might not be able to escape tonight, so I prepared a plan for your failure." Bai Liu said calmly, "The hospital will not be able to accept you tomorrow, so you still have one more day to escape."

Xiao Bailiu looked up at the private hospital that was still burning: "You bought this opportunity with the explosion and almost dying, right?"

"Yes." Bai Liu smiled, "But I'm not someone who would give for free."

He said casually, "Now it's your turn to pay for me, Xiaobailiu."

Xiao Bailiu was silent for a while again, this time longer, as if he was thinking about something.

Finally, he fluttered his eyelashes, avoided Bai Liu's question, and asked back: "I'm curious how you did it. Miao Feichi and Miao Gaojiang's main identity lines don't seem simple. The system store is also on my side, and it is forbidden to buy large explosive props."

"How did you manage to fight these two players who were more than one level higher than you in just ten minutes, and successfully blow up the hospital with a bomb you got from somewhere?" Xiao Bailiu asked without any emotion.

Bai Liu was lying on the blackened ground, his face and body were covered with puncture wounds and burns, his clothes were torn to shreds, the hem of his hospital gown was a little burned, one of his arms was gone, the wound was bloody and he looked extremely ferocious.

But the man had a satisfied smile on his face, as if his plan had succeeded. He was holding the phone that had not been blown up with difficulty - the phone prop sent by the system was quite magical. It was fine and did not fall off in this situation.

It didn't break when fried, and it didn't get rotten when soaked.

"Well, this is a very complicated plan." Bai Liu said slowly, meaning that he didn't want to explain it in detail.

"We charge by the minute for our chat," Xiao Bailiu said calmly, "You can talk slowly."

Bai Liu: “…”
