Ring! Ring! Ring!
At this time, the phone rang again.
Bruce didn’t need to think much about it. It must be Annie.
“Huh?”
After picking up the phone, he sensed that something was off.
“Mr. Bruce, I’m from the community. Everyone had come to take refuge just now. Where are you? Are you still safe? Do you need help? Are you thinking about suicide? Don’t hold any suicidal thoughts, there are still many beautiful things to explore in life!”
“Huh?”
“Huh?”
Bruce did not know what to say. He sighed and said, “I’m fine. Thank you for your concern. If there’s nothing else, I’ll hang up.”
“Wait, if it’s possible, I still hope that you can come to our community party. That way, we can meet each other and you can tell me your difficulties.”
On the other end of the phone, Aurora still wanted to invite Bruce to the party.
This made Bruce feel really helpless.
‘What kind of community is this? Why are they so persistent? Can’t they let go of me?’
After rejecting it twice in a row, they still wanted to invite him.
Without careful thought, Bruce hung up the phone immediately.
“Ding! Congratulations to the host for overcoming the F-rank house-leaving crisis. 1 point rewarded!”
However, he was able to obtain 3 points in a row because of this incident. This was still rather satisfying.
Bruce nodded. If the community calls again the next time, he will act as if he is in a difficult position. It shouldn’t be a problem for him to use them for some points.
“Yes, I’m fine, Annie. Take care of yourself. See you in the afternoon.”
After receiving another call from Annie.
Bruce started to tidy up the house.
Looking at the messy house, he fell into deep thought.
‘There will probably be all kinds of crises in the future. I have to protect myself!’
An earthquake like this is a C-rank crisis.
Then, if he were to suffer any damage, Bruce would not even have the ability to protect himself.
Not to mention the ability to recover in the same environment.
Thinking of this, Bruce immediately exchanged for a skill in the mall.
“Beginner Recovery!”
This skill could speed up the healing process. It costs Bruce 10 points.
Fortunately, this skill was determined by stamina. The higher the stamina, the faster the recovery speed. Moreover, the stamina and other skills will continue to increase over time, so the skill was not bad.
Then, Bruce took out a small knife and cut his finger. He found that the wound had scabbed within five minutes, and after another five, the wound had healed.
It was estimated that after a while, even the scar would disappear.
Since the last registration of the breath-holding mobility, this was his second life-saving skill.
Although it was not enough to save his life,.
But at least there were some skills to save his life.
…
The next day.
11 a.m.
The sun was unusually glaring.
The breeze in the air made people feel much more comfortable.
And today was the day the community had been talking about.
Aurora brought the community members along with a lot of things, walking towards a building.
Originally, their plan was to start their party on the flat lawn in the area, because their community’s workplace was right behind the lawn. This could create space for both indoor and outdoor areas.
But this was a little far off from their original intention.
After the earthquake that happened yesterday.
Aurora had a meeting with the community staff. After a series of decisions, they decided to hold a big party for Bruce at his house!
“Wait a minute, you will definitely see the dirtiest house in the world, but you must remember not to say it out loud. You must influence him through love, use your actions to let him know that life is still meaningful.”
Aurora’s eyes were filled with determination as she said, “We will clean up his house. Then, we can decorate the house with all kinds of decorations. When the afternoon comes and others arrive, this party will definitely be very interesting.”
Upon hearing this, the other community workers nodded their heads vigorously.
They believed that as long as Aurora made a move, she would definitely make the lost and dark youth see the light again.
Such a touching thing was only fit for community workers to perform.
Great and ordinary!
It seemed that this simple thing was a way for them to reflect their working attitude!
There was absolutely nothing wrong with following Aurora!
‘Bruce, we are here to save you!’
This was what the community workers felt at this time.
A few minutes later.
Knock, Knock, knock!
There was a knock on the door at Bruce’s home.
“Who’s here at this hour?”
At this time, Bruce still didn’t know about the community worker’s plan.
The time was relatively early.
However, Bruce opened the door immediately.
He was stunned.
When he opened the door, he saw a lady wearing black panty-hose, a bodycon mini skirt with a white blouse — Aurora.
Her long legs made people think differently, especially those black panty-hose which enhances the outfit.
The buttons on her chest were not fully buttoned, faintly exposing her white breasts partially.
Looking at this outfit, Bruce subconsciously gave her a 7 out of 10.
‘Although she looked cute, she was also very particular about her outfit.’
However!
Aurora was the cute type, not the domineering type.
So it didn’t match with this outfit.
Out of ten points, to be able to get seven was already a very high score.
While Bruce was sizing her up.
Aurora was also sizing up Bruce.
‘Sharp-looking short hair, simple casual clothes, clean face, and very handsome!’
There were no wounds on his body, no weariness in his expression.
This was completely different from what the Bruce she had imagined of.
And behind him, not only was there no stench coming from the house, but also a faint fragrance.
‘How does this look like he had lost hope in life?!’ Instead, he was enjoying life very much.’
“Hello, Can I help you?”
Bruce spoke first.
Because he still did not know who these people were, he was a little more polite.
After being asked this question, Aurora reacted back from her daze.
“Hello, Mr. Bruce. We’ve talked on the phone before. We’re the community workers…”
Hearing this, Bruce immediately reacted and interrupted, “Hello, regarding the party that you guys mentioned, I really won’t attend. Please go back.”
As he said this, Bruce decided to lock the door. If they had called, he could have refused in order to earn a few points.
Now that they had come in person, it proved that they had lost their patience and desperately needed him to attend the party.
Then what? Bruce would go out?!
Impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
Looking at the door that was about to be closed, Aurora immediately stopped him and anxiously shouted, “We don’t plan to ask you out but we plan to hold a party in your home! Can this be done, Mr. Bruce?”
