Chapter 31: A Tornado!?
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
It was night time as Aurora returne Bruce’s with a smile on her face.
“Guess what?!”
“We got our victory! You should have came!”
Looking at Aurora’s proud face, Bruce casually said, “I will not go out.”
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”
“Hmph, I knew you would say that. Let me show you, I looked breathtaking!”
Aurora took out her phone and showed Bruce.
Bruce looked a little dazed as he saw the video someone else took.
In the video, Aurora whole being was surrounded by the sunlight, which made her look stunning.
She was as beautiful as an angel.
‘That darn sunlight!’
After he looked at it, Bruce chuckled and said, “Yes, it’s breathtaking alright, you’re absolutely breathtaking!”
Hearing what Bruce said, she blushed and said shyly, “Hey, hey, hey! I wanted you to see how successful we were today, not how good looking I was!”
Then, she swiped away the video and pulled out a message, “Look, it says that a tornado will hit here in the next few days. Are you sure it’s safe for you to stay here?!”
“This tornado is EF4!”
“The speed is going to be 166-200 miles per hour. You should hurry up and move. This place might not be able to withstand it. I really don’t understand why you insist on staying here.”
“The developers said that construction will begin the next few days. If the tornado comes, all you can do is wait for it to pass. So you should really move to a safe place.”
“For the time being, I won’t go out. Don’t worry. It’s just a tornado. As long as I stay in the house and not go out, it won’t be able to do anything to me. As for you, you need to be careful,” Bruce said casually, as if nothing terrible would happen.
Aurora didn’t agree upon hearing this. Instead, she lowered her head and said, “Well if you’re here… I won’t leave either. It’s all up to you.”
After saying that, she rushed to the kitchen, not giving Bruce a chance to continue the conversation.
Bruce helplessly shook his head and chuckled. “Then you stay here. Hurry up and cook. I’m hungry.”
“You! I just started cooking, and you’re already rushing me. I’m not a rocket ship you know!”
“You should watch some TV. The food will be ready in a while,” Aurora said without another word.
Bruce turned on the TV and watched it casually. After the earthquake ended, all the electrical appliances and computers were damaged. The only thing that was left was an old-fashioned TV. Bruce took it out and plugged it in.
Although t it wasn’t a HDTV, at least there were interesting shows to watch.
“Attention: A tornado will pass through this area in the next few days. Citizens are urged to make all necessary preparations…”
There was a sudden broadcast of an early warning on TV.
A tornado!
Everything would be fine if he just stayed at home.
It wasn’t a villa, so there was no need to worry about the roof being blown away.
He was a apartment, right in the middle of the fourth floor. As long as he stayed in there, there would be no danger.
However, what Bruce didn’t understand was how could this be considered a house-leaving crisis?!
Could it be that the tornado would blow him out of the house?!
That couldn’t possibly happen so Bruce decided not to think about it any longer.
Day time was about to pass and he had no record of leaving the house yet, which meant that he would definitely receive a reward today!
Crack!
Crack!
Just as Bruce was in his thoughts, he felt a chill and tiny crystals appeared on the window.
He sat up right away.
‘No way, it’s appearing again?!’
A minute later, the frost and crystals disappeared.
The temperature in the room also returned to normal.
What was it?
“Aurora, do you feel that the room is cold?” Bruce asked. Generally, girls were more sensitive to temperature differences than boys.
“No. Are you having a cold?”
Was it an illusion?
Bruce could only think that it was.
Although he did discover this issue a few times before, it was still a little unrealistic.
Without thinking about it further, Bruce continued to watch TV.
An hour later, Aurora finished cooking dinner and the two of them began to eat.
Then, the two of them laid in bed and watched F.R.I.E.N.D.S together.
After a while, Aurora fell asleep with a smile on her face.
Meanwhile, Bruce was quietly waiting.
12:01 a.m.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for not leaving the house. Time reset. The system rewards the host with an intermediate skill – Moon Walk”
‘Moon Walk?’
‘The one where you could move around in the air?’
‘Not bad.’
With this skill, even if the building collapsed and posed a threat to him, he could use the Moon Walk to get out of the house.
Then, he could check the situation outside and enter the house again.
“System, I realized something. If the house collapses, how am I supposed to stay indoors?”
This was a smart question.
An idea would be that Bruce could get hold of a brick in the wall and carry it with him wherever he wanted to go.
However, he did not know if it would work.
“Answer: The host’s idea has been detected. It will be considered a bug and is not permitted by the system. Please note that if you took such an action, you will be obliterated.”
Upon hearing this answer, Bruce was speechless.
“If a house collapses, the host will not die. The host can avoid the danger by entering the safe zone provided by the system. After the house collapses, the size of the safe zone will be very small. If there is a slight movement, the system will start the house-leaving calculation. According to the size of the current host’s home, the safe zone will only be about 1 square meter.”
‘1 square meter?!’
A doghouse is bigger than that!’
Even if you were to stand still, the calculation might start if the wind blows. Moreover, you could only stand. If you were to sit, it would be considered leaving the house.
At this moment, Bruce finally understood that this system’s end goal was to kill him!
It seemed that he really had to change his location as soon as possible and that place had to be indestructible!
Looking at Aurora who was — naked — beside him, he stopped thinking about the problem and they started having sex.
Whatever the problem was, just leave it after fun time.
