Bai Feifei blinked her eyes in confusion and instinctively asked Xu Mo in her mind,
“How long was I asleep...?”
Xu Mo replied, “About ten hours or so. You certainly slept comfortably, haha... Anyway, your Sanity is back to full now.”
For a character controlled by a player, sleeping could restore Sanity. This was considered a “special ability” Xu Mo had granted Bai Feifei.
Bai Feifei didn’t understand any of that, so she just accepted whatever the Evil God said. She did indeed feel that her mental state was much better.
The whispers, wails, and negative emotions that had been echoing in her ears yesterday had been swept away.
Then, she remembered what Xu Mo had just said and asked, “What did you say just now? You picked up some kind of... job for me yesterday?”
Xu Mo gave a brief explanation. “Yeah, Wan Qianhong is leading a team down into the mine to investigate the anomalies, and she wants you to go with them.”
“I agreed on your behalf. Based on your current strength, the difficulty of this coal mine dungeon is actually a bit higher than what you should be tackling right now.”
“But since the opportunity came up, you might as well have some fun. There’s a chance some pretty good items will drop down in that mine.”
“Besides, the personnel situation this time... is quite interesting.”
“Okay, I understand.” Bai Feifei nodded decisively, without asking about the specific dangers.
In her eyes, this was only natural and fell under the duties of a Scavenger.
Instead, she asked tentatively with some doubt, “The conflicts I had with the Scavengers before, and the charges... are they all settled?”
“Pah! I was the one logged in. How could there be any problems?” Xu Mo said dismissively.
“Also, your personality is too weak. It made me feel quite annoyed when many plot points were unfolding.”
“So, I established a persona for you. Go wander around outside for a bit; no one should dare provoke you easily now.”
“If there are still some who don't have eyes, just hit them if you can win, and if you can't, just curse them out.”
“Huh?” Bai Feifei was momentarily stunned, a bad premonition rising in her heart.
“Furthermore,” Xu Mo’s voice suddenly took on a mischievous, playful tone, “Wan Qianhong seems to quite like you now.”
“You can interact with her more. You have my support~”
Bai Feifei: ?
She didn't quite understand Xu Mo’s sudden change in tone and simply replied, “Oh, okay. Senior Wan has always looked after me. She’s a good person.”
After saying that, she got up, quickly washed her face, pushed the door open, and walked out into the temporary camp.
She had slept for a long time and had no idea what the current situation was, so she wanted to take a look around.
As soon as she stepped out, she saw Scavengers walking to and fro throughout the camp.
A few people noticed Bai Feifei opening the door and were momentarily taken aback before proactively nodding to her in greeting.
The light suddenly dimmed as a massive figure blocked the sunlight from above. Yang Shuo happened to be nearby.
Wan Qianhong had instructed him to keep an eye on Bai Feifei to make sure she didn’t cause any trouble, so he had been paying close attention to this room.
“Miss Bai.” Yang Shuo squeezed out a gentle smile as best as he could and proactively spoke to Bai Feifei.
Bai Feifei was startled. She didn't understand why this big guy who followed Wan Qianhong was suddenly being so polite to her. She quickly replied, “Oh, hello.”
However, as soon as those words left her mouth, Yang Shuo took a step back, his expression looking almost flattered.
“Ah... You’re too kind.”
“There were many misunderstandings regarding you before. I’m sorry.”
“Um... it’s okay,” Bai Feifei said with a forced smile. She didn't really understand why this man was apologizing to her.
Yang Shuo seemed to suddenly remember something and pointed in a certain direction. “By the way, since you’re out now, are you going to eat?”
“The public canteen is over there. Just show your credentials and you can get a meal. It’s all free.”
Bai Feifei looked in the direction he was pointing. There were indeed quite a few people gathered there.
She nodded to Yang Shuo and said, “Okay, thank you.”
With that, she turned and walked toward the outdoor canteen.
Behind her, Yang Shuo stood frozen for several seconds because of her words.
She... actually knows how to say thank you?!
Baffled for a few moments, Yang Shuo rubbed his bald head. Finally, with a flick of his wrist, he pulled out a radio and began reporting to Wan Qianhong.
“Hello, Boss? Yes, she’s out.”
“Is her mood normal? Hiss—what counts as normal? I feel like she’s very abnormal!”
“Killing people? Oh, no... there were no conflicts. She’s quite friendly.”
“Right... okay. I’ll try my best to follow her and ensure her safety.”
Yang Shuo hung up and followed distantly behind Bai Feifei like a secret bodyguard.
...
Bai Feifei arrived at the outdoor canteen. She was indeed feeling a bit hungry, so she took a disposable meal box and joined the line.
Soon, she noticed something was off. All the surrounding Scavengers seemed to be glancing at her surreptitiously.
Was there something on her face? She clearly didn’t know them, yet they all seemed to know her.
Moreover, for some reason, many people in the line ahead of her proactively stepped aside, allowing her to reach the front very quickly.
Something was wrong. Something was very, very wrong!
“What exactly did you do with my body yesterday?”
Holding her hearty meal, Bai Feifei went to the simple seating area and asked Xu Mo in her mind.
Xu Mo didn't answer. Instead, he spoke with some surprise, “Oh? This guy can already walk? He recovered pretty fast.”
Sensing something, Bai Feifei looked up and saw a young man not far away. His features were contorted with rage as he stared at her.
It was Li Yan.
But Bai Feifei didn't recognize him. After staring back for a few seconds, she spoke up somewhat awkwardly.
“Erm... who are you?”
Li Yan was instantly infuriated. Who am I? She’s actually asking who I am!
Is she humiliating me?
The grudge from the stab to his “little brother” was irreconcilable!
However, he didn't dare to lash out. After giving Bai Feifei a vicious glare, he limped away.
Bai Feifei: ?
She felt like she was currently missing a lot of important information.
Just then, a girl’s voice reached her ears.
“Hmph. Serves him right for acting like he was God’s gift to the world every day, as if he were invincible.”
Bai Feifei looked toward the sound and saw a pink-haired girl sitting nearby. She was currently looking at Li Yan’s departing back with disdain.
Noticing Bai Feifei’s gaze, the girl looked over. There was a hint of caution in her eyes, but she still spoke with a smile.
“Anyway, I’m on your side. You should have beaten him up yesterday!”
