Pretty Fool's Live Clearance in Infinite World

After dinner, Gu Chen took Lin Qi out of the temple and wanted to meet up with Li Weiwei.

Gu Chen used a tracking prop, a mechanical flying insect in the shape of a butterfly. Gu Chen and Lin Qi followed the direction of the butterfly.

"Is this a prop? It seems very useful!" Lin Qi said to the system in amazement.

"That's a tracking item, the Butterfly Chaser. It's available in the mall, but it's a bit pricey." The system explained to Lin Qi.

After hearing this, Lin Qi immediately opened the mall and started searching in the search bar. When he saw the price, Lin Qi was stunned.

[Ten thousand points! You told me that's expensive!?] Lin Qi pouted, looking at his total points of only 2800, feeling that his life was hopeless.

Lin Qi looked at the task column on his player page.

【Main Quest: Escape from the village or survive for seven days

Mandatory side quest, sightseeing 2/3 of the village attractions, reward points: 5000.

Lin Qi's gaze fell on the last line, and he said to the system with a headache, "This is so annoying! My side quest is not completed yet!"

"It's okay, there are still four days left." The system said soothingly.

Lin Qi was chatting with the system when he found that the butterfly was flying towards the mountain. Gu Chen took him into the mountain. They saw Li Weiwei and the others from afar, and Gu Chen took back the butterfly.

"Brother Gu!" Li Weiwei, wearing high heels, waved to Lin Qi and the others.

As the others approached, Li Weiwei complained, "I'm so disappointed. After we left yesterday, we found that the villagers were looking for us. We were so scared that we hid in the mountains."

"Looking for us?" Lin Qi looked at Li Weiwei with doubt in his clear eyes.

"Yes, I heard them quietly say that there seemed to be not enough sacrifices." Li Weiwei said with a frown.

Lin Qi's heart tightened. He had heard Jiang Zheng talk about the sacrificial ceremony, and Li Wen had also mentioned it yesterday. Moreover, the conditions for passing the copy happened to be stuck on the seventh day. This was not a coincidence.

"Song Yixuan hasn't come to join us yet. I hope nothing happens to him." Li Weiwei asked with some concern.

After hearing this, Lin Qi was also a little worried. Although Song Yixuan was a bit annoying, it was he who held Jiang Zheng back yesterday, which allowed them to leave.

[Host, don't worry. If he didn't have some skills, he would have died long ago.] The system saw that Lin Qi was a little worried and spoke to comfort him.

——Don’t worry, wife, nothing will happen to Boss Song.

——That’s right, he is very powerful.

……

Gu Chen seemed to have sensed Lin Qi's worry and said softly, "Don't worry, he's a smart man and won't get into trouble easily. The most urgent thing right now is to find out what the sacrificial ceremony is about."

"There's nothing written on the purchaser's page for Qu Rou, just the word 'insect'." Gu Chen paused and said in a low voice, "Before entering this dungeon, I learned about it. It's a dungeon centered around Gu, and it mentions using humans as containers to raise Gu."

After hearing this, Lin Qi looked at Gu Chen with wet eyes, his expression a little scared. Using a living person to raise a Gu, wouldn't that be terrible? He thought of Li Zi's tragic death. He didn't want that! Thinking of this, Lin Qi's little face wrinkled.

"Qu Rou is most likely being used as a container to raise Gu." Gu Chen said calmly.

Lin Qi's face turned pale, and he subconsciously grabbed the corner of Gu Chen's clothes. "Then what should we do..." His voice trembled slightly.

Gu Chen gently held Lin Qi's hand, his eyes revealing a hint of tenderness and concern. He said in a calm and gentle voice, "Don't be afraid."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Lin Qi's face gradually regained some color. He held Gu Chen's hand tightly, feeling the warmth and strength of his palm. Gu Chen's hand was large and strong, as if it could give him an endless sense of security.

At this time, Zhao Qing's voice came, her expression pale and with a hint of fear. She asked softly, "Where are we going now?"

Gu Chen slowly turned around and looked at Zhao Qing with icy eyes. His gaze was like a bottomless, cold pond, without a single ripple. He glanced around expressionlessly and said in a low voice, "Go to the village chief's house."

"But don't bring too many people. Lin Qi and I will go to the village chief's house, and you go to find out the news about the sacrificial ceremony." Gu Chen arranged the tasks calmly, with a hint of majesty in his voice.

"Okay." Li Weiwei nodded slightly, indicating that she understood. Then she turned to look at Zhao Qing and Fan Yue and said softly, "Let's go."

"Ah? Okay..." Fan Yue was stunned for a moment, a hint of surprise on her face, and then she responded immediately. She had been feeling unwell since last night, her face pale and very weak. At this moment, Li Weiwei suddenly spoke to her, which startled her.

"What's wrong with you?" Li Weiwei noticed Fan Yue's abnormality, a hint of doubt flashed in her eyes, and she asked with concern.

"Nothing..." Fan Yue was evasive, her eyes wandering, and she seemed unwilling to say more.

When she was surrounded by those strange poisonous insects yesterday, she felt as if an inexplicable force within her body was responding to them. This feeling made her feel uneasy and even terrified.

Although the insect did not attack her, this was not necessarily a good thing.

Gu Chen noticed Fan Yue's abnormality, and also remembered that yesterday, except for Lin Qi, Fan Yue was not attacked by the poisonous insect.

Lin Qi was worried about Jiang Zheng, but what about Fan Yue? Gu Chen's cold gaze swept over Fan Yue, and Lin Qi belatedly remembered this. He looked at Fan Yue and felt that there was nothing strange about her except that her face was a little pale.

Fan Yue shuddered under Gu Chen's gaze. She tried to hide her inner uneasiness, forced a smile, and said, "It's really nothing. I might just be a little tired."

Seeing this, Li Weiwei didn't ask any more questions. She patted Fan Yue on the shoulder and comforted her, "Okay, then, you should take a rest first. Zhao Qing and I are enough."

Afterwards, she took Zhao Qing to the other side of the village, ready to follow Gu Chen's instructions to find out about the sacrificial ceremony. Watching Li Weiwei and Zhao Qing walk away, Fan Yue felt a surge of mixed emotions.

At the same time, Gu Chen and Lin Qi headed towards the village chief's house.

Along the way, Lin Qi seemed a little nervous, and he couldn't help but hold Gu Chen's hand tightly. Gu Chen felt Lin Qi's nervousness, and he squeezed Lin Qi's hand hard, as if to pass on a kind of strength to him.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Gu Chen whispered. Lin Qi looked up at Gu Chen and nodded, and the tension in his heart eased a little.

Finally, they arrived at the village chief's house. The door was closed, and there was silence all around. Gu Chen walked over and gently pushed the door, but it wasn't locked. He glanced at Lin Qi and motioned for him to follow. Lin Qi cautiously followed Gu Chen into the yard.
