The rule of this world is that everything revolves around the protagonist; in order to protect the protagonist, there are no rules left at all.
These main characters are either brain-dead or completely incapable of leading the world forward in a healthy way. Therefore, such a world is unstable and will collapse sooner or later.
Leng Yue and Qian Chen couldn't find the Anywhere Door no matter what they tried, and for a time, things reached a stalemate again.
"Sigh, I'm at my wit's end now." Leng Yue looked at their tiny rented room, feeling like she was about to break down. She had tried to persuade Qian Chen before, but now she couldn't do it herself.
Because they had no money, they could only rent a tiny single room, barely big enough for a 1.2-meter bed, with just a passageway behind it. Besides that, there was no kitchen or bathroom; the entire building had only one toilet, and it wasn't separate for men and women.
Flies and mosquitoes were swarming everywhere in the toilet; Leng Yue hadn't seen a toilet like this in many years.
As for bathing, no matter the time, you could only go to a public bathhouse. The first time Leng Yue went, she was completely bewildered. Seeing those huge patches of pixelation, Leng Yue fled. But later, when she was forced into a corner, she had no choice but to bathe there.
This awful environment is truly devastating!
"Since both your cultivation and mine have stalled, let's go back down the cliff and search again. Maybe some animals just happened to take it away!" Qian Chen saw Leng Yue getting increasingly agitated, and he knew they had both reached their limits.
If their past experience was their magic touch, then their magic touch is simply not working here.
However, they are all beings destined to roam the heavens; continuing to waste their time here will only diminish their fighting spirit. Rather than engaging in such ineffective cultivation, they should continue their search.
Upon hearing Qian Chen's words, Leng Yue agreed without hesitation. "Let's go, let's go now."
The two packed everything they could carry into their storage bags, only to find that they had nothing of value. They sighed as they packed, then closed the door and left without a second thought.
The two walked away because their pockets were empty. They walked hand in hand down the street, exchanging a smile.
“I don’t think I’ve ever been this poor before,” Qianchen said, looking at Lengyue. “I’m so sorry you’ve suffered these past few days!”
Leng Yue shook her head. "Actually, what I've been through during this period is pretty much the same as what I did in my original world. You have no idea how unlucky I was back then. Nothing I did went smoothly. I never had a proper job and I was always broke. So, this kind of life is actually what I was living in my original world."
Leng Yue hadn't thought about her original world for a long time, and this experience seemed like a reminder. Now that she thought about it, she realized that her life in her original world was actually quite bad. But she managed to get through it back then and didn't feel that anything was unfair.
Back then, she probably thought the same way as the native inhabitants of this world, right? Although life was very tiring, she persevered and never complained.
"Yueyue, I still don't know what your world is like. What kind of life do you live there? Which world is it most similar to?" Qianchen had always been curious about Lengyue's hometown, but she never had the chance to ask.
"The place I live in is similar to where I live now, but the problem isn't with that world, it's with me," Leng Yue said with an embarrassed smile.
"How so?" Was she too stupid? Qianchen imagined the reasons why Leng Yue was not doing well, and then couldn't help but laugh, his eyes filled with stars.
“That world was good, much like most worlds we’ve lived in, where the capable reign supreme. But my luck was bad, or rather, extremely bad.” Leng Yue sighed, looking at Qian Chen. “It’s probably worse than you can imagine. How should I put it?”
Leng Yue paused to think, because she herself had almost forgotten about it. After a moment's pause, Leng Yue continued, "It's just that stepping in dog poop when you go out, being teased by classmates at school, and being fined by your boss at work are all normal occurrences. Well, it's probably only slightly better than the world we met in."
"Hahaha, sorry, I couldn't help it." Qianchen laughed as he spoke. Leng Yue's words reminded him of her embarrassing situation back then.
"Laugh all you want, I've never been lucky anyway." Leng Yue rolled her eyes in exasperation.
My luck stat had just risen enough to live a normal life when I was thrown into this chaotic world. All the tasks I worked so hard for before, I don't even know what the point is anymore.
Moreover, she became a wanted criminal by headquarters and even lost Zero. Leng Yue felt utterly pathetic just thinking about it!
Leng Yue didn't really know where her future lay, but she had lived for so long and didn't have any particular regrets. Moreover, she had her beloved by her side, and she was actually quite content.
The two chatted all the way, sharing embarrassing stories about each other and their own. They were all things they had almost forgotten, but which were still very meaningful to them.
The two chatted and laughed, and soon returned to the bottom of the cliff.
Qianchen looked around and said, "This place is still the same as before, with no changes at all."
Leng Yue sighed, "Big brother, we just arrived last month. Can you make it sound like we haven't been here for ten years?"
"Can't I be a little pretentious, like those literary figures?" Qianchen retorted.
"Okay, very good, you can continue. I'm going to find the Anywhere Door." Leng Yue said and left.
They arrived at three in the afternoon, but the forest was pitch black, as if it were night. Leng Yue checked the time and knew that, like before, they couldn't search for long before darkness fell. However, this time they had no intention of going back; they were determined to find the Anywhere Door.
Seeing Leng Yue searching, Qian Chen followed her into the depths of the forest. "Should we change locations? We've searched this place so many times already?"
"I have a feeling that it's still here, but we just can't see it right now." With her cultivation, Leng Yue has been able to sense some of the aura of the Anywhere Door, but she can't pinpoint its exact location.
When Qianchen heard Lengyue say that, he started touching everything around him.
At 4:15, it was completely dark, and the two could only turn on their flashlights.
"Still making do in the cave?" Leng Yue shone her flashlight on Qian Chen.
"Okay, let's hurry up and go. There will be wolves if we stay too long!" Qianchen had just finished speaking when a wolf howled, startling them.
"No way, it just comes like that, it's not like it's a magic door, why are they being so eager?" Qianchen complained with a dark face.
"There!" The cold moonlight shone on a pair of eerie green eyes. "Isn't that the alpha wolf we first saw?"
"Who knows?" Qianchen and Lengyue stood back to back. "Fight or run?"
"Is it illegal to kill wolves here?" Leng Yue said, but still took out a dagger. "Here, take this, I'll use this."
"Do you still have bullets?" Qianchen glanced at Lengyue's small hand.
"Yeah, I prepared quite a lot beforehand. I found these when I was organizing them a few days ago," Leng Yue said, and then attacked the wolf.
After a few thuds, Leng Yue heard the sound of wolves falling to the ground and running away. "Let's go."
"Let's go take a look," Qianchen said, taking a flashlight and walking over. "Yueyue, these wolves are acting strangely!"
Hearing Qian Chen's words, Leng Yue also looked in that direction and discovered four wolves, two black and two white. There was also a six-pointed star pattern on the ground, and the blood of these wolves was being frantically absorbed!
