Chapter 8 Return, Obtain Rewards

"Sigh, I never expected so many things to happen in the last two days. Am I really possessed by a ghost?"

Upon returning to the building, Uncle Yan was visibly exhausted.

Li Haotian poured him a cup of tea and comforted him.

"Uncle, don't think too much. It's the 21st century now. There's no such thing as evil anymore. Why don't you take a few days off and I'll take over the shifts these two days?"

Uncle Yan looked at Li Haotian, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in agreement.

He had originally planned to have Li Haotian take over, so this was a good opportunity to give him a try.

However, what Uncle Yan didn't know was that the culprit behind the events of the past few days was his nephew, and he was the one who set the animal traps.

With Ajiu dead, Li Haotian had nothing to worry about. With snacks and toys at his disposal, and Xiaobai doting on him all day long, nothing unexpected would happen.

Two days later, Aunt Mei and Ah Hao were both released.

Ah-hao was fine; after being cleared of suspicion, he was released, and he didn't seem to care.

But Aunt Mei was different; after Ah Dong's body was dissected, its whereabouts were unknown.

She was just an old woman; she couldn't possibly get it back. After learning that Ajiu was dead, she was completely distraught and lost all vitality.

Uncle Yan and the neighbors tried to comfort her for a long time, but to no avail, so they simply let her be.

Three days passed in this way, and just as Li Haotian was getting impatient, the system's voice rang in his mind.

"This commission has been completed. Overall rating: Excellent. Settlement is in progress. The host can choose to leave immediately or be forced to leave in half an hour."

Upon hearing the system notification, Li Haotian smiled and chose to leave in half an hour.

He also wanted to say goodbye to Xiaobai and prepare some things for him.

Upon arriving at the convenience store, Li Haotian bought some storybooks, snacks, toys, and a few bottles of wine. He left the wine with Uncle Yan and gave the rest to Xiaobai.

Without saying hello to the two, Li Haotian went to a quiet corner in the hallway, intending to leave after the countdown ended.

"Countdown to exit, 10, 9..."

As the countdown began, Li Haotian was wondering what reward he would receive when suddenly a white figure ran over.

"Little White, what brings you here?"

Li Haotian shouted immediately.

"Brother, brother, thank you, this is for you..."

Xiao Bai looked at Li Haotian with a nervous expression and handed him the origami crane in her hand.

Xiao Bai remembered all the kindness Li Haotian had shown him these past few days, but because of his introverted personality, he didn't know how to express his feelings.

While looking at the fairy tale book that Li Haotian bought for him, he saw the origami cranes and wanted to give them to Li Haotian.

Xiaobai was initially hesitant and didn't dare to give it away, but for some reason, she felt a little flustered and ran over to give the origami crane.

"The countdown has ended, and we are returning."

"Xiaobai, thank you too."

Enveloped in golden light, Li Haotian accepted the origami crane and, amidst Xiaobai's astonished gaze, smiled and said...

"Shh."

With a blink of an eye, he returned to the familiar space, and the origami crane in Li Haotian's hand disappeared.

"Sigh, it's a pity I can't bring it back."

You can't bring items back directly from the world within the system's missions.

Therefore, he was unable to accept Xiaobai's feelings.

The reason Li Haotian took such good care of Xiaobai during this mission was partly for the mission's sake and partly out of sympathy for Xiaobai's plight; he didn't invest too much emotion in it.

Li Haotian was caught off guard by the fact that the little guy remembered everything, but he was in a very good mood.

"Om."

Suddenly, a buzzing sound rang out, and three golden lights appeared in front of Li Haotian.

"Reward issued, please accept."

Li Haotian's mind stirred, and he reached out to touch the three golden lights.

"Ding, Reward 1: Binding to the Multiverse Space. The host can use all unlocked functions of this space. Within the space, the host is immortal and indestructible. Any damage suffered in the mission world will be fully restored upon return, as long as the host does not die. The host can explore other functions on their own."

"Ding, reward two: body repair. All physical damage in the host's original world has been repaired."

"Ding, reward three, divine connection. The host can gain the favor of the gods and, in any world where gods exist, sense the gods through the statue of the god they worship, and their requests will be granted."

After accepting the rewards, Li Haotian opened his eyes. He was quite satisfied with the three rewards.

Needless to say, the first and second rewards, after gaining the right to use the space, gave Li Haotian a sense of security.

From now on, as long as he doesn't die while doing missions, he doesn't care how serious the injuries are, which relieves him of his worries.

Repairing his body from the original world also gave him the possibility of returning.

Although he cannot go back yet, having gained access to the space, he now has more information than he previously knew.

In addition to the functions within the space, there is also a description of the mission world and rewards.

Some rewards can allow him to return to his original world.

If his body doesn't recover, going back won't be of any use; even if he doesn't die, he'll have to stay in the ICU.

Now that's great, as long as he completes more tasks and receives the return reward, he can go back and take a look.

Even with food and drink available, it's unbearable to stay in this space all by myself for too long.

As for the last reward, although no specific benefits have been received yet, the mere fact that it grants every request is already quite remarkable.

How many people in the world pray to gods and Buddhas, and how many of them can receive divine attention even once?

Most people are just doing useless work, seeking psychological comfort.

As for Li Haotian, he would grant any request!

Although the gods may not personally respond, as long as he persists and cultivates good relationships, he will make a fortune even if these gods give him just a few things.

The relationship has taken another step forward; from now on, when we need to fight, we can call in reinforcements—no, we can call in gods!

Li Haotian became more and more excited as he thought about it. He went to the space kitchen and ordered himself a spicy chicken dish.

The kitchen inside the space can produce food directly, or you can cook it yourself. However, Li Haotian is not good at cooking and does not want to go through the trouble, so he just orders.

After eating and drinking his fill, Li Haotian explored the functions of the space. There was nothing else there, except for an extra laboratory with a synthesis table, an alchemy furnace, and a mobile phone.

This phone is similar to those in the real world; it can connect to the internet but can't make calls or send messages.

However, the phone can be brought into the mission world, and the phone will change with the world background, but its functions will not be reduced.

Furthermore, mobile phones will also be used as tools for posting tasks in the future.

Li Haotian lay in the space for half a day, and just when he was about to get bored, his phone finally made a sound.

"Ding, a client is summoning you. Please prepare yourself."

Li Haotian quickly stood up, and the pattern on the back of his hand emitted a golden light. In an instant, his consciousness disappeared. He didn't know how much time had passed before he opened his eyes.

When he opened his eyes, he found himself sitting in the subway, surrounded by foreigners.

"Buzz."

The phone in his pocket vibrated. Li Haotian took it out and turned to the side to open the message.

"The commission states that Dr. Fassback, a virologist, died in an accident while accompanying a UN investigation team to investigate the origin of the virus, thus delaying the investigation. Fassback hopes that someone can help him find a solution to the zombie virus in advance, so that his death can be worthwhile."

Following the details of the commission, there was also a video file labeled "World War Z".

Li Haotian clicked on it and quickly browsed through the movie content.

Li Haotian had seen this movie a few years ago, but he didn't remember it well. Fortunately, after gaining full access to the space, he could watch the video directly.
