It's just a grocery store.

Then he heard footsteps, sat up from the bed at midnight, and immediately used stealth to hide.

She saw a child she didn't recognize. She looked around for a long time but didn't see what she was looking for. She could only leave a small clay doll on the table and leave.

So he was the one who put those ugly things there? Was he looking for me just now?

I hid at midnight to see who would come, but I didn't see anyone for a long time.

Zero Hour: Forget it, just go out by yourself.

The outside of the cave had become gloomy because of the setting sun. The woods opposite the cave entrance rustled, as if some ghost would jump out at any time.

Lingshi swallowed his saliva, suppressed his emotions, and walked out slowly step by step.

This damn place is so dark, I hope no monsters will suddenly appear. The man just now treated me like a god.

The birds screamed in fear, and Lingshi's scalp went numb and he stood there not daring to move. The case was solved, this kid was afraid of ghosts.

He would become a coward whenever he was alone. Now that he had lost his system, he thought something was wrong with every little thing.

Zero Hour: Tong, please come back soon——

After a lot of trepidation, Lingshi finally emerged from the woods. Fortunately, the road down the mountain was clearly marked, so Lingshi did not get lost.

After leaving the pitch-black woods, my midnight night vision was enough to see clearly, and I could also see the village opposite with the lights off.

At zero o'clock, I subconsciously wanted to call the system to lead the way, but then I realized that the system was not there.

Zero Hour: I'm going to explode with all of you!

He had no choice but to use a stupid method and go from house to house. Only then was he thankful that he had kept a good grasp of the things he had exchanged before. Now he was able to hide and run around in the village.

We finally found the three families that came today. The little girl lived in the center of the village. As for why we found her first at midnight, it was because the girl was sleeping in the woodshed.

As soon as he climbed onto the wall of someone's house at midnight, he heard a breathing sound in the woodshed. Curiosity drove him to look inside.

Only then did I find the first destination. I held my breath and walked in to check. There wasn't even a blanket for the girl to cover herself with. What kind of family was this?

Lingshi was so kind-hearted that he didn't know how to show it, so he could only pull over the softer hay nearby to cover the girl.

Before covering it, he thought of something and silently patted the hay again to shake off the dust and other things on it.

After leaving the woodshed at midnight, I went to the inner room to check and found that there was indeed an old woman lying alone on the bed.

The other room was occupied by a couple and a child. They were not poor, so why would they let the child sleep in the woodshed?

As soon as I thought of something, I immediately had a bad impression of this store and left to find the next one.

The second house was relatively easy to find. It was just a few houses next to the first one. I climbed over the wall at midnight and saw that there was still a light inside.

I hid behind the wall at midnight, made sure everything was okay before climbing over, and tiptoed closer when I saw a woman wiping a child's body.

He was still saying something while wiping his mouth. Lingshi moved closer to hear more clearly, but all he heard was "It will be fine soon, it will be fine soon."

Zero Hour: Can someone translate it for me? I don’t understand uh uh uh.

Just like the previous house, I looked everywhere, but someone in this house was awake, so I couldn't go into the bedroom.

It took me a long time to find the last one. It was the farthest one from the village, so I found it only at midnight.

This house is not as good as the previous two. It is not an exaggeration to describe it as a poor household.

Before entering at midnight, I was still wondering if there was anyone inside, but the noise did stop when I got closer.

This one is much simpler, without even a wall, just a bunch of wooden fences.

Zero Hour: This is a purely simple mode.

It was just as simple inside, just a small house with one room. The woman and her husband were sleeping soundly on the same bed.

After a night of this, I didn't gain much, but it would be wrong to say I gained nothing.

Although I didn't have anything with the exact time, I tried very hard to remember the knowledge that my geography teacher had put into my head.

Geography teacher: Thank you very much for inviting me. Please don’t say that I taught you.

Midnight: East, West, East, and West, this is... West!

At midnight, he observed the sky and pretended to count with his fingers. It was already past midnight, so he hurried back to the mountain in the dark.

I’m worried that I’ll be locked outside, so I must run back before dawn.

Fortunately, I was smart enough to mark the way out at midnight. Thanks to the geography teacher, I finally got back to the cave before dawn after rushing.

As if sensing something, the invisible cover closed the cave again, and he was trapped here again at midnight.

Just as he thought, as soon as the sun rises, this place will become the village's wishing hole again.

Zero Hour: I don’t even know what to call this ghost thing. I haven’t even figured out its identity.

I returned to the cave at midnight and found nothing had changed or anything strange.

But when the sun rose, he was forced to stay up all night again, and he didn't know whether the three people would come today.

Sleep or not, sleep or not, this is a very serious problem, system, get out here!!!

Speak of the devil, the system that had disappeared for a day finally showed up and defended itself in a pitiful voice.

"Host, ahhh, thank you for your hard work. You've been busy all night, my host!"

Midnight: It’s so noisy!

System: Ying...

The system has not been materialized, probably because it is afraid that Zero Hour will give it a beating, and it has to explain the whole cause and effect to Zero Hour in a pitiful way.

The voice in my head jumps up and down, and just by listening to it I can imagine how much the owner of the voice can jump.

System: It’s a system upgrade test, but how can a small system like me pass it by myself? Therefore, I need the host’s help in the practical part.

Lingshi was completely confused after hearing this. Why do you have to take an exam to upgrade the system even though you are already in charge of the system? Do you also look at qualifications when selecting the system?

Feeling cheated, seeing Lingshi's speechless face, he thought he was being disliked, and the system became excited again.

System: I passed the written test. I rushed over to find the host right after I finished the test!

Zero Hour: It seems you are not going to take the exam...

Lingshi felt very helpless at the moment. Blame it, it came to find him after the exam.

I shouldn't blame it. I've had no place to vent my resentment from last night until now. It turns out that I should blame the system.

Zero Hour: You took him away without telling me anything, and without revealing any information at all. Was it a test for you or for me?

Speaking of this, the system fell silent with a guilty conscience, and at zero o'clock it knew that it had grasped the key point.

Midnight: Tell me, why didn’t you tell me anything before? I thought I was reborn after sleeping all night.

System: ...Meow.

Zero Hour: It’s no use. I will hold you accountable. I will sue the central government. I want to change the system!

Upon hearing about the system change, the system could no longer sit still and directly materialized and ran out to hug Lingshi's thigh.

In the physical sense, the weasel was hugging Lingshi's thigh and crying and making a fuss, which is simply called throwing a tantrum.

System: No, no, host, you can’t abandon me, you can’t change the system!

System: I really just lived too lazily and forgot about it, woooo!

Zero Hour: What did you say?

For a moment, there was silence all around, and the system realized that it had said something extraordinary.

The crying stopped and I looked up, trying to get away with it, only to see Lingshi smiling dangerously.

Midnight: Let’s talk about what it means to live too lazily and forget.

System: ...My life is over!
