In reality, Bai Gao, who is now only separated from them by a wall, is sneakily crawling forward.

Just as Wenya said, he was actually the one most likely to die among them. Bai Mi had once told him that the amount of Heavenly Dao power needed to create a body was quite large; given their current salary levels, it would probably take them over a thousand years to accumulate enough.

So Bai Gao really doesn't want to die at all.

Thank goodness, he hadn't been stingy with his points and had explored almost all the features. His initial thought was to have Ning Bao abandon the quest so they could leave the instance.

However, the truth is, they simply can't give up! Only Ningbao can decide whether to accept or abandon the mission; Baigao has no right to abandon it on Ningbao's behalf. Of course, even if he did have that right, the stubborn kitten wouldn't do it without Ningbao's approval.

He's already sold himself to Ningbao to work, and eaten so much good food from Ningbao, how can he overstep his bounds like this? Although Bai Gao is indeed a bit weak, as a system, he's truly conscientious.

There's another way, which is the button he pressed when he caused trouble. Pressing it will teleport him, Ning Bao, and Wen Ya directly to the "Savior's" side.

Although the word "nearby" is definitely misleading and the actual situation is quite different, as long as I get out of this awful place, everything will be fine.

The only minor issue is that the button has a cooldown period!

Bai Gao's only option now is to try and survive, stalling for time. As long as he can hold out until Ning Bao and Wen Ya come to rescue him, or until the button's cooldown ends, he'll be fine.

Furthermore, if they teleport out, since Ning Bao himself did not choose to abandon the mission, the mission will only be paused. He can still come back next time, and the previous mission progress will not be lost.

Bai Gao's idea was good, and although he was a bit of a noob, as a cat, he was still pretty good at dodging. As long as he didn't get scratched by the random things around him...

"Meow!"

A loud rumbling sound suddenly came from the wall, startling the kitten so much that it jumped up, its fur standing on end for the nth time.

Bai Gao thinks that following Ning Bao on missions is a really dangerous and nerve-wracking experience. It seems he needs to watch more horror movies to practice next time.

Feeling the trembling ground beneath his feet, Bai Gao shivered. He glanced at the countdown button again; there was still more than half an hour left!

Waaaaah~ These awful system rules! Can't they add a points-based acceleration feature? This is so unfair to the system itself!

However, Bai Gao hadn't considered that for systems without physical form, these functions were entirely used to exploit the host's points or Heavenly Dao power. Those systems had no physical form; they resided in the host's mind. If they were to die, it would be the host who died. They could simply find another host.

Therefore, apart from the two special bionic systems of white cake and white rice, the system rules do not have any suspicion of harming the system, but they do have quite a few ways of harming the host.

Bai Gao watched as cracks began to appear on the wall to his right, and the oil paintings hanging on it were shaken off, melting into a pile of black, viscous liquid on the ground. He took trembling little legs and retreated step by step until he had nowhere left to go.

The kitten closed its eyes, seemingly resigned to its fate... Yeah, right! Run!

He had stayed in this spot the whole time, afraid of missing Ning Bao and Wen Ya. He didn't want Ning Bao and Wen Ya to finally find him only to find he had wandered off somewhere else. But now, he couldn't care less about that; he closed his eyes and charged forward.

The wall cracked open completely, and a monster covered in slime crawled out, bigger than any monster Bai Gao had ever seen before.

Several vines sprouted from the monster's body and quickly entangled Bai Gao, who had run a short distance away.

"Meow! Meow! Meow!"

Bai Gao let out a piercing scream, frantically waving his little paws with his eyes closed. While rationally speaking, this was certainly useless, he was too terrified to think straight.

All he could think about right now was: "It's over, it's over. If I lose my body, Gao Gao's indenture will last at least another thousand years, and I haven't even been in the factory for a year yet! The key is, Ning Bao might not even be willing to sign such a long contract with me."

Thinking of this, the poor little kitten was overcome with grief, and tears streamed down its face.

"White cake, it's Ningbao, white cake..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Gao didn't react for a moment, thinking his body was dead and he was temporarily residing inside Ning Bao's head. His waving little paws paused, and his mind raced for a while before he finally realized what was happening:

He's not dead?

The cat slowly opened its eyes, but it didn't see Ning Bao at all. It was still the monster that had grabbed it!

Oh no, he's hallucinating from fright! What should we do?

"Baigao, don't cry, Ningbao will give you something delicious to eat."

Seeing Bai Gao's tears flowing more and more fiercely, Ning Bao also became a little anxious.

"Ningbao, you've scared Baigao. Put him down quickly."

Wenya's head popped out from the crack in the wall, and then... got stuck.

"Ningbao, quickly pull me up, or break this wall open a little more."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

"Oh~"

Ningbao put Bai Gao down, stuffed a lot of delicious food into the dazed Bai Gao's arms, and then turned to pull Wenya:

"Sister Wenya, you're too heavy, Ningbao can't lift you!"

Ningbao first tried to pull Wenya with all her might, but when she found she couldn't, she stubbornly went to bang her head against the wall.

"Burp~"

Bai Gao hiccuped, tears still clinging to the corners of her eyes, and squatted atop a mountain of snacks, staring at the strange scene before her, her mind unable to process anything for a long time.

Is this sticky, black monster Ning Bao?

That makes sense. Those strange black or bloody things that came out of the walls or underground before didn't use vines; they just wanted to pull him in.

And Wenya came along too, so it must be Ning Bao. So, how did Ning Bao end up like this?

That's a long story.

Originally, Ning Bao and Wen Ya had already given up on the idea of ​​capturing an indescribable creature to ask for directions after discovering that the slime was impossible to remove once it stuck to their bodies. Even if Ning Bao's death wasn't a real death, they had no reason to deliberately court death.

However, because of the slime stuck to her body, Ningbao had difficulty moving and was not as skilled at controlling her body, and accidentally bumped into the wall next to her.
