Hearing his refusal, the dark-skinned young man's eyes dimmed and he looked at Old K reluctantly.

Old K: “?”

"Don't pay attention to him, no one can eat you." Zhang Chunliang gently comforted the trembling little octopus claw in his palm.

He cooked some of the snail meat, fish and shrimp caught by Shen Xingyi as today's lunch, and put the rest on the rocks to dry into jerky.

Because the only seasonings he brought were salt and sugar, and in small quantities, there was no way to marinate the meat. Even the fishy smell of fish, shrimp and snail meat could not be removed.

But these were life-saving foods during famine times, so he still cherished them very much.

During the lunch break after dinner, he would check on the condition of the dried meat every now and then.

This solemn and nervous attitude infected the dark-skinned handsome guy Shen Xingyi. He wore the guise of Zhang Duoduo and followed Zhang Chunliang on the street, observing his behavior all the time. After discovering that Zhang Chunliang attached great importance to the dried meat, he transformed into a giant otter and caught a lot of it in the water.

The meat contained too much water, and after being dried, it was only the size of a pitiful little finger joint, but the quantity was still considerable.

The weather in this copy was very hot, and the dried meat was soon almost dried. Zhang Chunliang tried to eat a few slices, and was almost in tears because of the strange fishy smell. However, after chewing it, he could still smell a lingering sweet aftertaste.

In fact, this is not the best backup food. Dried fish has a strong smell and can easily attract other people's covetousness, but at the moment, he can't find any other food that can be stored in large quantities.

Shen Xingyi had never tasted such dried meat before and was very interested. He sat by the pond, watching Zhang Chunliang working hard like a little butterfly, while eating dried fish like cracking melon seeds.

When Zhang Chunliang packed up his things and turned around, he felt like the sky was falling.

The dark-skinned young man ate almost all the dried fish he had dried all day, leaving only enough meat for him to fill his stomach.

Maybe in his heart, there was no intention of storing food at all, he had enough to ensure that Zhang Cunliang had a full meal every time.

This is the sixth day since the release of [Side Mission 1: Reach Shuangshi Village Alive], Zhang Chunliang has stayed in this pond for two days, and he still has nine days to travel. These foods are what he wants to eat on the road...

Although he said that he would not care about the tasks of the Trash Game House, he did not forget those strange punishments. Considering the degree to which the Game House targeted him, this punishment would most likely make him suffer greatly.

What's more, his main quest and clearance quest both require him to leave here to complete, so he is destined not to stay here for long.

Zhang Chunliang sighed heavily, took out the soft candy that Lao K had dug out from the system space, and put it in the palm of the dark-skinned young man's hand: "Baby, this is much better than dried fish, can you leave some for me?"

The dark-skinned young man looked at the shiny and chewy little candy in his palm curiously, picked up one and threw it into his mouth.

He obviously liked the sweetness of the candy. His beautiful golden eyes narrowed in satisfaction, and then he picked up one and put it to Zhang Chunliang's lips.

The smell of dried fish was still on his fingertips, but Zhang Chunliang didn't dislike it and took the candy away with his mouth.

Shen Xingyi became inexplicably excited. He followed Zhang Chunliang and began to feed him various foods attentively.

Dried fish, soft candy, or some sour berries, as long as the little human can open his mouth and eat it, he will try it.

"Speaking of which..." Zhang Chunliang was drying the meat again when an outrageous idea suddenly occurred to his mind. He turned his head and looked at the dark-skinned young man, and suddenly asked, "If you can turn into something after swallowing it, then if you eat gummy candy, will you turn into a gummy candy?"

The dark-skinned young man was stunned for a moment, with a look of distress between his brows. He thought for a while, then shook his head: "Only things with brains can be transformed, nothing else can be done."

Zhang Chunliang nodded thoughtfully.

It seems that Shen Xingyi in this copy is transforming by devouring intelligent species. I just don’t know what his true form is that allows him to possess such incredible power.

Normal animals are fine, but even monsters like the evil Buddha and the fake mad dog that are obviously out of character can be imitated...

No wonder when he had the power to make his wishes come true, the guy behind the scenes did not bring the counterfeit of Shen Xingyi to him. To a certain extent, this copy of Shen Xingyi could be any one he had devoured, and his true form could not be determined at all.

This is simply a BUG.

Zhang Chunliang laughed. This guy Shen Xingyi was the biggest bug in Game Home.

"Like, eat this?" The dark-skinned young man saw that he was suddenly smiling so happily, thinking that he had eaten his favorite food. So he picked up another sour fruit and put it close to his mouth.

Zhang Chunliang accepted the fruit and ate it.

Although the fruit tastes sour and not very sweet, after eating it, Zhang Chunliang no longer smells the fishy smell of the dried fish he had just eaten, and even Shen Xingyi's claws feel much fresher.

An idea suddenly occurred to him, so he asked Shen Xingyi for some sour fruits and sprinkled their juice on the freshly processed fish.

The pungent sour and fishy smells were surprisingly well neutralized together and no longer emitted a strong odor.

Zhang Chunliang looked at the sky and decided to dry the meat tonight and set off the next day.

The dark-skinned young man still didn't know why Zhang Chunliang wanted to leave. He just thought that this little human was like some kind of little mouse and loved to store food. This habit was very cute.

"What's your name?" Zhang Chunliang asked casually while sitting in a bamboo tube jar used as water storage on the shore.

"I don't have a name." The dark-skinned young man helped him hollow out the hard bamboo poles and smoothed out the burrs on them.

"What do they usually call you?" Zhang Chunliang became interested and quietly inquired about her boyfriend's daily life.

"Monster, help me," the dark-skinned young man recalled what everyone said when they saw him, "and thank you..."

"Does anyone thank you? Do you help them?"

The dark-skinned young man looked confused. He frowned and shook his head: "If I didn't help them, why should I help them?"

Sometimes he also felt very strange. He had clearly eaten those guys, so why did they cry and say "thank you" to him? This feeling was weird, just like eating spoiled food...

"What do you usually eat?" Zhang Chunliang looked curious. "Do you hunt when you're hungry?"

"They're all edible. Some of them you can eat for days without feeling hungry, but some of them you'll feel hungry even if you eat a lot." The dark-skinned young man complained, "And they're dirty and they give me a stomachache."

Zhang Chunliang nodded thoughtfully: "Eat all..."

He knew Shen Xingyi very well. Although he had a cold, paranoid and crazy side to his character, he would not kill innocent people for no reason, just like a person would not waste energy on stepping on and killing ants while walking on the road.

This instinct was replicated in each of his soul fragments. Although some of those soul fragments had bad personalities, they did not do anything excessive in these copy worlds, fully practicing the principle of "I will not offend others unless they offend me."

Sometimes Zhang Chunliang would even shamelessly wonder if it was because his boyfriend fell in love with an NPC that he instinctively felt sympathy for NPCs from other worlds.

If the Shen Xingyi in this world suddenly started killing people indiscriminately, Zhang Chunliang would not suspect that her boyfriend had changed, but would wonder... if there was something abnormal in this world.

"Don't eat it." The dark-skinned young man looked at Zhang Chunliang seriously, "Just eat what I give you. You'll get an upset stomach."

"Well, for now, I don't have any thoughts of eating people..." Zhang Chunliang brought the subject back, "I have to have a name to call you, or, do you have any favorite things?"

The dark-skinned young man's beautiful golden eyes looked at Zhang Chunliang for a moment, and suddenly he smiled ambiguously.

Zhang Chunliang: "...Can you change your body? It's really weird to make such an expression with Duoduo's face."

"What is your relationship with Duoduo?" the young man suddenly asked, "It has a strong murderous intent. It wants to eat you."

"Duoduo... is my dog. This thing is... I don't know what it is. It turned into Duoduo to trick me." Zhang Chunliang shrugged helplessly, "I really want to find the real Duoduo."

"Don't look for him. I look like Duoduo. You can treat me as your puppy." The dark-skinned young man showed his sharp fangs and said in a low voice, "Or, you can also call me Duoduo."

Zhang Chunliang glanced at him, filled the bamboo tube with water, put it aside, and nodded nonchalantly: "Of course, but I won't fall in love with my own puppy."

The aggression of the dark-skinned young man disappeared instantly. He quietly began to whittle the bamboo tube. After a long while, he asked in a low voice, "Can we fall in love just because we are not puppies?"

"It depends on my mood." Zhang Chunliang smiled slyly, "My name is Zhang Chunliang, what's your name?"

"I forgot." The dark-skinned young man said honestly, "I forgot a lot of things."

"Then call me Xiaoxing." Zhang Chunliang stroked his smooth and cool black hair. "Since I came to this world, I have never seen the stars."

The young man had a confused expression on his face, as if he had no idea what the "stars" Zhang Chunliang was talking about were.

Zhang Chunliang didn't explain much. He put away the bamboo tube full of water and left the shore.

He must have a good rest tonight and recharge his energy.

……

Pain, burning, despair, endless screaming and wailing.

After many days, the voice that made him extremely uncomfortable appeared in Zhang Chunliang's mind again. He seemed to have dreamed of something, but he couldn't remember it no matter what.

"Wake up - wake up quickly!" A familiar hoarse voice woke Zhang Chunliang.

He suddenly opened his eyes, feeling weak all over.

"Why are you sleeping so soundly? Are you sick?" The long-haired old man looked at him puzzled.

"Why am I here..." Zhang Chunliang sat up in surprise, but grimaced at the sudden pain in his leg.

He rolled up his trouser legs and saw the black and purple swellings on his legs caused by spider bites.

"You're such a weird person. You said you were going to leave yesterday, so why haven't you left today?" The old man muttered as he put away his straw mat.

"I left." Zhang Chunliang looked at the people who were working hurriedly and said firmly, "I clearly left here."

"Hallucinations again?" The old man looked at him in surprise. "Did you hit your head? You keep talking nonsense every day."

"It's fake, all fake..." Zhang Chunliang stood up and looked at the surrounding scenery.

This was the barren mountain where he and Jia Duoduo were before they left. Every scene was so realistic and terrifying.

He stamped his feet, and the ground rose up into a cloud of dust.

"How can you have the energy to do that? Aren't you hungry?" The old man rolled his eyes. "Go get your mission now. You look so pale. If you don't eat something, you're going to die."

Zhang Chunliang stood there for a while, then walked to the truck to receive the task.

Those people who were crowding and scrambling for the tasks seemed so real and anxious. They squeezed forward desperately, just wanting to get some food and water today.

He had just escaped from the sunflower monster in the botanical garden. His clothes were tattered, his body was covered with bruises and wounds, and he looked dazed and neurotic.

Looking at the long queue, Zhang Chunliang suddenly realized that at this time his ability to "make his wishes come true" had not disappeared.

So, he silently prayed to everyone in front of the team to disappear, and when he opened his eyes again, all the people in front of him were gone.

The leader who was in charge of sending out the missions was looking at him with a smile on his face and waved at him: "Come on, there is a mission here that is very suitable for you."

Zhang Chunliang looked at him expressionlessly for a while, then walked forward.

"If you take this box to the RV in front, I will give you three tortillas." said the team leader with a smile on his face.

Zhang Chunliang looked at the small wooden box and didn't move for a long time.

"What are you dawdling about? Why haven't you answered yet?" The leader's tone lowered a little. "Are you wasting time?"

"What's in here?" Zhang Chunliang asked.

"This is just an empty box." The leader laughed again, "Don't worry, as long as you deliver it, I will give you a reward."

"This is ridiculous, a boring and clumsy show. Who are you and what do you want to do?" Zhang Chunliang stared at the man in front of him with a cold tone, "If you hate the players who invaded this world, I suggest you go directly to Game House for trouble, instead of always focusing on us little minions."

The leader showed a helpless expression: "It's just a box, don't be so nervous, come, let me show you what's inside the box, there's really nothing——"

Zhang Chunliang watched him open the box and suddenly felt his heart tighten. He took a step back, but it was too late.

The team leader suddenly opened the box, and inside the dark box was a huge, bright blue eye.

Those eyes were like those of a devoid of human nature, cold and merciless, and the pupils, which were as big as a fist, were filled with countless strange characters, which slowly changed into enchanting and grotesque shapes, giving rise to the most extreme fear and pain in people's hearts.

"I. Found. You." An ethereal mechanical voice, as if coming from the center of the ancient earth, came from all directions of Zhang Chunliang's dream.

Zhang Chunliang raised his head and found that the entire space was filled with huge fluorescent blue eyes. They were all looking straight at him with indescribable majesty.

Zhang Chunliang knew whose eyes these were. They had appeared once before in the copy of “I Love School” - they were the surveillance eyes of the Game House.

"Found"? Zhang Chunliang thought about it in confusion for a while, and suddenly realized something.

The pond where he and Xiaoxing were located was out of tune with the entire copy. It was most likely a shielded independent space. In this space, his every move could not be spied on by the Game House. Therefore, it would remind itself on the system panel to start completing the task as soon as possible.

His indifference angered the Game House, which thought Zhang Chunliang was going to give up the mission and hide, so it dragged his consciousness into his dream, trying to locate him.

Zhang Chunliang turned around and found that the survivors in the fleeing team were staring at him. There were no heads on their necks, only huge blue eyes.

"I found you," it repeated.

Zhang Chunliang began to feel itchy all over. He scratched his arms and suddenly found that blue light was bursting out from every scar on his body. The light gradually became clearer and turned into eyes.

"You can't hide away," it declared.
