Chapter 42 The So-Called Price

His expression changed slightly during the day, Ye Zhao saw that something was wrong with him, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong?"

"Go to dinner first, and we'll talk about it when we get back to the hotel."

The two of them finished their dinner in a hurry, and when they returned to the hotel, it was completely dark. Ye Zhao bought two bottles of mineral water from the vending machine downstairs—the hotel is too shabby to even provide free drinking water, so he would start drinking water during the day. Back to the room to rest.

Ye Zhao went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered. He couldn't help frowning, thinking about what happened in the alley just now, he couldn't help but feel worried.

"Daytime!" He slammed harder on the door.

In order to save costs, the hotel only gave one room card for two people living together, and Ye Zhao was in his hands during the day, so he decided to go to the proprietress to ask for a spare room card.

At this moment, the door of the room opened, and a bare/naked white arm stretched out from the crack of the door to quickly pull him in, and then slammed the door shut.

Ye Zhao didn't have time to react, he just saw a white figure like a frightened rabbit rushing into the toilet, and soon the toilet door was closed.

Only then did Ye Zhao realize that the originally small big bed room had become empty, only bare walls and poor-quality floors remained, and even the cheap decorative paintings hanging on the walls were gone.

"Daytime?" Ye Zhao tentatively approached the toilet.

"Don't come here!" There was a hint of tremor in his calm and flat voice during the day, which made Ye Zhao even more worried. He anxiously stepped forward and pushed open the door of the toilet—a small third-rate hotel. The door lock broke at some point.

Then he saw a thin and slender figure with his back facing him inside.

During the day, he is really white and thin, without any fat on his body, and of course he doesn't have any muscles. His waist is very thin, just like what Ye Zhao felt under his hands in the last dungeon.

"I'm sorry!" Ye Zhao was stunned for two or three seconds, and quickly closed the door again after reacting.

Although they are all men, it is quite embarrassing to have such a unilateral "candid meeting".

For a moment, the air seemed to be frozen, and neither of the two people inside and outside the door spoke. They rubbed their eyes vigorously during the day, and the corners of their eyes were flushed. He supported the cold tiles on the toilet wall with one hand, and covered his forehead with the other. His brain, which has always been good, won't work.

"Daytime..." After a long time, it was Ye Zhao who spoke first, and he called softly, with a tone of caution that he didn't even notice, "What's going on?"

There was no movement in the toilet, Ye Zhao did not urge him, he stood straight outside the door, waiting quietly like a knight guarding a princess.

After a while, the door was pulled open a crack, and a pure white cube was handed out. Ye Zhao put his hand on it, and soon the item information of [Time-Space Rubik's Cube] and the status that was already in cooling time appeared on his screen. in mind.

"So it made time stop just now, so you can successfully rescue me from the dead situation?" Ye Zhao quickly figured out the joints, paused, hesitated and continued: "You are like this now... Is it just repaying the price?"

"That's right, as long as I touch it, the time of any non-fixed external object will quickly pass, and it will turn into dust and disappear..." Bai Tian looked at his right hand with distinct joints and no muscles.

The memory returned to the situation when he first entered the room. First, the clothes on his body evaporated inexplicably, and then the quilts, sheets, even the bed, desk lamp, and TV set he touched quickly decayed as if they had experienced hundreds of thousands of years in an instant. It turned into piles of dust, and finally even the dust disappeared.

That was the price of manipulating time, and it would probably stay that way until he paid back enough to pay for the ten-second pause.

"What can I do for you?" Ye Zhao's deep voice sounded outside the door, and his short words were convincing and reliable.

"Go and help me buy some clothes, enough clothes." Thinking for a while during the day.

"it is good."

The door of the room was opened and closed, and he exhaled heavily during the day, oh my god, he was really driven crazy by the system, and he had never been so embarrassed in his 24 years of life.

In the past, he was always calm, free-spirited, and his active thinking was different from ordinary people, making any complicated problems a piece of cake in front of him. In the eyes of others, he just looked like a bored man , only he himself knows that he enjoys this leisurely peace.

However, since he was pulled into this weird game a week ago, the peace buried deep in his heart was completely broken. One after another, the weird copies challenged his reason, crushed his nerves, and forced him to work hard to survive.

To be alive...in this highly developed age of civilization was so desired yet so difficult for him.

Ye Zhao came back quickly, his black shirt was drenched with sweat, and even the ends of his hair were wet. When he went upstairs with two huge plastic bags, the suspicious eyes of the lady at the front desk could almost turn his back. burn through.

Ye Zhao put one of the bags at the door of the toilet, while he leaned against the wall next to him, looking down at the white wrist protruding from the crack of the door, and smiled silently.

During the day, there is no need to try on one piece at all, because as soon as he touches it, those clothes will turn into dust and disappear. Seeing that the stock in the plastic bag is getting less and less, he can't help but feel a little worried.

Fortunately, Ye Zhao bought enough clothes, and he finally managed to pick up a white cotton T-shirt.

The T-shirt is the most common style without even a logo on it, but the material is very comfortable to wear and the size is just right.

During the day, I remembered that in the first dungeon, he was attacked by the "resurrected" old man No. 5, his body was covered with injuries, and his clothes were turned into rags. At that time, it was Ye Zhao who gave him his shirt to wear. Notice the size of his clothes.

Then came the underpants, which made Daytime quite embarrassing, when he saw the hundreds of colorful and large underpants in the bag, his face was so red that he could drip blood.

——It must be intentional, why are the T-shirts bought in the most common style, but the underwear is so fancy?He clearly saw that there was another one with big flowers printed on it!

During the day, he took a deep breath, calmly picked out a relatively simple pair from the inside, put on the jeans calmly, and finally opened the toilet door calmly.

"Okay?" Ye Zhao greeted nonchalantly.

"Back to you."

During the day, he piled the big flowered underwear he picked out at Ye Zhao’s feet expressionlessly. His luggage has been used as the price to repay the [Time and Space Rubik’s Cube]. He kept the remaining T-shirts and pants in the bag for emergency needs.

Ye Zhao glanced at the pile of colorful things, and said sincerely, "No, it's too small."

During the day, I feel like hitting someone.

Ye Zhao squatted down, folded all the underwear for him and put them back into the plastic bag, without raising his head, he said, "I'll go buy a suitcase tomorrow, this bag is not very convenient."

Seeing him busy during the day, he lost all anger in an instant.

"Let me see your injuries, where is the big toothpaste?" Ye Zhao packed up his clothes. He didn't suffer any injuries in the street fight just now, but he was beaten solidly during the day.

It was only when he reminded me during the day that I felt pain all over my body. After a moment of hesitation, the clothes I had put on with great difficulty were taken off again.

One of the two players who dealt with him just now held a steel rod and the other a fruit knife. They had been carefully avoiding the sharp fruit knife during the day, but they could no longer avoid the attack of the steel rod, and they were hit a few times.

It was hidden under the clothes just now, but now it is clearly exposed to the air, and several dark red scars are swollen high, which made Ye Zhao's heart twitch violently.

During the day, in order to protect his vitals, he kept curling up his body, and most of the scars were concentrated on his back, so he himself didn't know how the injury was, only that his back was burning with pain.

"How is it?" Seeing that he hadn't moved for a long time during the day, he couldn't help asking.

"It's okay, it'll be fine." A muffled voice came from behind, and then a warm and soft thing carefully and softly stuck to his most painful place, like a treasure.

During the day, his body couldn't help but froze, but the thing left quickly, followed by the cool touch of the ointment, which made him relax.

After dealing with the injury, Tiantian put on his clothes silently. Ye Zhao took out a neatly folded wool blanket from another large plastic bag and spread it on the floor, then quietly looked at Tiantian.

The atmosphere was suddenly a little awkward. During the day, he rubbed his eyes, took off his shoes and sat on it as naturally as possible, rubbed his round and smooth toes on the rough blanket and said, "Thank you, Ye Zhao."

"During the day, you just saved my life." Ye Zhao sat down opposite him and said seriously.

During the day, he smiled lightly, and Ye Zhao also smiled.

The embarrassment dissipated before he knew it. During the day, he thought about it and said, "By the way, that person's props are here with me."
