Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Meanwhile, Bruce was completely oblivious to what was happening.
He was texting Annie.
The two of them agreed to eat together again this afternoon.
Bruce was still anticipating it a little.
Previously, the ingredients were very ordinary, but Annie still managed to make a table of delicious food.
This time, Annie went to buy ingredients, the cooking was going to be different, it will certainly be more delicious.
Since Bruce had been eating fast food for a long time, he wanted to eat other delicacies.
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Bruce’s phone started ringing again.
He fixed his eyes on his phone and saw that it was still the community center.
“Hello, is there anything else?”
Bruce asked before letting the other end to speak.
“It’s like this, Mr. Bruce. We still hope that you can participate in this activity. Life is beautiful, I don’t know what you’re going through now which made your life a mess, causing you to not want to go out. But you mustn’t give up, we will accompany you, God is with you.”
‘What the hell?’
Bruce was dumbfounded upon hearing the words of the community worker.
What was going on?
When did he say that his life was a mess.
‘I’m currently experiencing the happiest moment in the world, how dare you say that my life is a mess?’
‘Just because I don’t go out, I must be down in the dumps?’
It was a strange statement, but Bruce didn’t think too much about it.
“Thank you for your kindness, I appreciate it. I have decided that I still will not go, and my life is good, so goodbye!”
Bruce had a strange conversation with the other party, and then he hung up the phone.
“Ding, congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis,1 point rewarded!”
Meanwhile, Aurora got hung up on the other end of the phone.
The disappointment on her face grew even more evident.
‘I will definitely save you from the abyss of suffering. Wait for me, Bruce!’
Aurora said in her heart.
She then clapped her hands to signal the community workers who were also worried, “Alright, we have work to do. We must let Mr. Bruce walk out of his dull and depressive state!”
With that, determined expressions appeared on all of the community workers faces.
“I believe that through our care, we will definitely be able to let Mr. Bruce regain his hope in life!”
..
At the same time.
Bruce was playing a game.
The screen of the game suddenly began to distort.
“Sleep-deprived?”
At first, Bruce wasn’t sure if he saw correctly. He thought that he was sleep-deprived.
But on second thought, he was getting enough sleep.
Then the distortion of the screen.
The screen was only slightly distorted for a moment before it returned to normal. Bruce didn’t pay too much attention to it.
“Run! Run!”
“There’s an earthquake. Everyone, evacuate as soon as possible. The earthquake has just started, the next wave is coming soon.”
This was when he heard someone shouting outside of the house.
Bruce immediately regained his composure.
There was indeed an earthquake.
When he was still at work, he heard his colleagues talking about the warnings on the news.
Back then, he had thoughts hoping that the earthquake would kill his fat boss.
His former boss was so fat, he definitely wouldn’t be able to escape.
He didn’t expect the earthquake to come so quickly. At that time, it was said that it would occur within the next 15 days, this topic was only three to five days old.
In other words, this wave of earthquake would definitely occur again.
If he wanted to get through this crisis, he only had two choices — go out and hide in a narrow space.
However, it was impossible for him to go out.
“I will never leave the house!”
“Ding, congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”
‘Huh?’
‘This earthquake was already considered as a house-leaving crisis?’
Then there must be more to come. Bruce could tell from this piece of information that the next wave of earthquakes would be even bigger!’!
Ring! Ring! Ring!
Bruce’s phone rang, it was a call from Annie.
“Bruce, are you alright?”
He did not expect this girl to be so worried about him. The first thing that she did was to call him, this made him feel a little touched.
“I’m fine. How about you?”
“We’re fine too. Our school has already started forming groups to go to the shelter. You should also get to cover as soon as possible.”
“Alright.”
After hanging up the phone, Bruce continued to sit around and play games.
There was nothing to be afraid of right now.
It was impossible for him to go out.
Then there was no point in hiding anywhere.
Moreover, after knowing about the earthquake, Bruce had stored an emergency self-help box in the bathroom. Even if the earthquake collapsed the building, he could still survive in the enclosed space of the bathroom for more than ten days.
Moreover, even if he escaped from the earthquake, he would still be obliterated by the system after two hours.
The houses were all gone.
Naturally, he wouldn’t be able to find his house from the ruins within two hours, right.
The result would still be the same.
Then what was the point of hiding or not hiding now?
Therefore, Bruce was very calm about the current situation.
Rumble! Rumble! Rumble!
In an instant, the earthquake got more and more intense.
Bruce swayed amidst the earthquake, he held the controller in his hand and continued to play the game.
Three seconds later.
The earthquake was getting stronger and stronger, even the house felt distorted.
This was when Bruce finally got up. He slowly walked to the bathroom and removed the conducive objects in an instant. He then picked up a metal box from the corner and went to lie in the bathtub.
His movements were smooth and fluid.
The intensity of the earthquake gradually became weaker and weaker, until it finally stopped.
Bruce got out of the bathtub.
This house was quite sturdy. Although it was a bit old, it had been fixed before, so it was much better than other residential areas.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the C-rank house-leaving crisis. 5 points rewarded!”
Bruce’s originally calm expression became exceptionally shocked.
‘This level was actually just a C-rank crisis. Then how terrifying would the more powerful B-rank and A-rank be?’
Moreover, who knew if there would be a higher grade above a grade?
Gulp…
Bruce swallowed nervously.
He took out his phone and immediately searched for the magnitude of the latest earthquake. It was only a 5.3 magnitude earthquake.
This was only C-rank, the house would most likely be unable to handle the upcoming house-leaving crisis.
“System, can I change my house?”
Bruce’s thought process was very clear right now.
“Yes, after reaching level 3, you can reset the location of your house. After reaching level 5, you can have a second house!”
The system’s answer made Bruce feel much more at ease.
Currently, he was only at level 2, he could get 2 yuan per minute, 120 yuan per hour, 2,880 yuan per day, close to 100,000 yuan per month.
It would not be difficult to buy a villa with some money when the time comes.
Moreover, the money he had now was calculated based on his current level. It would take him less than a day to level up.
By then, it will be even easier!
