Comment: Garbage. To be able to be bound with system K29 is the luckiest thing that would ever happen in your life. You should treat it well.]
Cheng Zhi Chu: [……Say, can you hide the comment? It’s very irking to see.]
System: 【No. This is to keep you alert and self-aware but if you don’t like it, I can help change it.]
After it said this, it didn’t wait for Cheng Zhi Chu’s consent and proceeded to change the comment.
【Comment: Garbage gay. To be able to be bound with a cute system like K29 is the luckiest thing that would ever happen in your life. But remember, don’t fall in love with it.]
Cheng Zhi Chu: “………….”
Get lost. Even the original comment was better than this. Also, even if he is a gay, he won’t fall in love with this dog system!
He was so angry, his insides writhed around but he knew that if he continued to argue with the system, he would change the comments into something even more unsightly. He could only swallow back his words and open the Boss Photobook up to check what the next possible instance could be.
As the photobook slowly opened, Qin Ji and Joshua’s faces once again appeared before his eyes. They both smiled at him and their lines of sight followed every movement he made. Cheng Zhi Chu was scared to the point that his face went ghostly pale and he immediately turned the page over. It took a long time for him to be able to calm down from that initial scare.
Why does he have to suffer this kind of fate……..
Cheng Zhi Chu cried without tears. He pitifully flipped through the remaining photos that had not been cleared until he finally found a level 8 instance with hard difficulty called “Abandoned Hospital” that seemed suitable for his current level. He logged onto the forum and proceeded to search for strategy guides for this instance.
Infinite Escape is extremely rich in instances to the point that it was difficult to even make a rough estimate but there was also a large number of players. In order to earn survival points by posting posts, everyone desperately shared their own strategy guides. After several years, the posts had accumulated to a considerable amount.
Of course, there is also a problem with this and that is, fraudulent acts. Players could not confirm whether the post is true or not so they would generally just choose to read the guides posted by the more famous players. If you encountered an unpopular instance that had no posts from famous players, you could only look at ordinary posts and consider yourself unlucky if you were cheated.
Most players however wouldn’t lie. After all, writing up a fake strategy guide would likely lead other people to their deaths so most people wouldn’t have the conscience to do that. But when Cheng Zhi Chu surfed through the guides, he still didn’t dare to completely believe in the contents and would treat it with some doubt.
Unfortunately, there were no strategy guides available for “Abandoned Hospital”. Cheng Zhi Chi felt a little disappointed, but he then suddenly wondered if there are any strategy guides for “Midnight Mansion.”
There really wasn’t any! His search results came out blank and this led to Cheng Zhi Chu’s eyes brightening up. If so, he can post the strategy guide and earn survival points from it!
He immediately typed like he was injected with chicken blood. Unfortunately, the content that he could write was limited as the system would review it to ensure that the contents of the instance isn’t overly exposed.
Cheng Zhi Chu wrote about where some of the important items are located, the skills that are needed and even hinted on the existence of a very dangerous item which was Joshua’s Necklace. But cursed items are all unique so after he had taken it out of the instance, the latter players would only encounter a “dangerous instance prop” when they touch the necklace and they won’t get the cursed item.
After confirming that there were no mistakes, Cheng Zhi Chu submitted the post. The price for viewing the post was set at 1 survival point.
This price was extremely cheap. After writing for more than half an hour, he had gradually calmed down and understood that if a newcomer like him who does not have a reputation were to set the price to high, players definitely wouldn’t read it.
And even if it is cheap, there won’t be just a few people reading it. After all, there are so many instances, and no one would know when they would enter this instance.
He treated it like he was fishing and just leaving some bait first. If he became famous in the future, maybe he would be able earn some survival points off it.
But it seemed like Bai Yi didn’t write a post. That’s true, he’s currently in Death Mode so he probably didn’t have the time to do it.
Cheng Zhi Chu rubbed his chin and thought that if he wanted to team up with Bai Yi for a long time, he shouldn’t take advantage of him. If he took all the rewards from this post, then Bai Yi would be disadvantaged. After all, they had cleared the instance together.
“Brrr—-”
Just as he was deep in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated. It was a notification telling him that he had received a new message on the forum. He had thought that it might just be a system’s notification or something but when he picked it up and checked, he found himself stunned. In an instant, he sat up from his bed. Because he had done so with too much force, he almost fell from his bed.

Bai Yi’s Diary (Part 15)
What’s Zhi Chu doing? He hasn’t sent me a message for the past 1 minute and 30 seconds.
If I can’t see Zhi Chu, I don’t want to do anything. Just want to wait for him to reply to me.
