Chapter 006: Escort

It seems that I really cannot wander around carelessly; it is better to follow Alice, to avoid inadvertently stepping into the territory of monsters

Chen Yihan thought to himself, how close it is, no wonder you were able to rely solely on yourself to return home through the thick fog and wait for rescue, it turns out you were just lucky. However, at this moment, Chen Yihan did not dare to casually express any opinions. In the movie, it was Alice who returned home by herself, safely arriving. But if Chen Yihan were to offer his opinion now, it could very well change Alice's original intention and alter the route, making it uncertain whether there would be any danger. So, after some thought, Chen Yihan said, "How about this, I will stay by your side, you can do as you wish, how to get home and which route to take will be up to you, after all, I know nothing about your home or this island."

Favorability 3 / 10

When this group of people was just being watched by Alice, they all fell silent. When someone stood up to help her, the others, feeling a sense of imbalance, began to condemn that person who was willing to assist.

Chen Yihan patted her hand, made a shushing gesture, and slowly poked his head out from the side of the car

Yes, one cannot ascertain what lies within the thick fog, but it is certain that it is extremely dangerous

Both Alice and the others in the supermarket were astonished

Moreover, in a situation like the present, there is no need for him to say anything at all

You have gained the favor of David Drayton in the scene of "The Mist," increasing your favor level by 1. If the favor level reaches 10 in this scene, you will permanently gain 1 point of charm

"My goodness, what is that sound?" Alice was clearly frightened, gripping Chen Yihan's arm tightly, her fingers digging in so hard that her nails nearly pierced the skin.

Chen Yihan said not a word, for he deemed it beneath him to speak. Such matters have long been commonplace in his own country; not speaking has not only forged a body of steel but has also rendered him nearly immune to all poisons.

Chen Yihan had long known that this Alice was not to be trifled with. Just based on what she had said earlier, "You all can go die," Chen Yihan could conclude that there was no need for her to speak; Alice could handle this group of annoying flies herself.

In light of this, it is not surprising that these old cars in the United States occasionally fail to start

Chen Yihan took the trembling Alice to the car, which was an old-fashioned pickup truck. After getting in, just like in most clichéd movie plots, it wouldn't start!

This feeling of being in the spotlight is quite exhilarating

I can't believe it! Chen Yihan couldn't help but curse. This is clearly a monster as big as a dinosaur, leisurely walking towards the distance. Although the thick fog enveloped the area, the creature was so large that its general outline could still be seen.

It is just ahead, very close to here, and it takes less than ten minutes to drive.

However, at this moment, it is still appropriate to be a good person; a pleasant surprise would be even better, but even without one, there is nothing to lose: "Alice, don't say that. They all have their own families. For instance, David Drayton, the one holding what should be his son, he also needs to protect his child. You want to protect your child, and they also have to think about their children. Just like David Drayton, the one holding what should be his son, he also needs to protect his child. You want to protect your child, and they also have to think about their children. As for me, I am unencumbered, alone, so I can do my best to help you."

Wait a moment

The Grim Reaper, that is the Grim Reaper! Whoever goes out, the Grim Reaper will take their life!

Upon exiting the supermarket, Chen Yihan and Alice were immediately enveloped in thick fog. After taking just a few steps forward, a glance back revealed that the people inside the supermarket could only see a blurred outline. One can only imagine how dense the fog was and how low the visibility had become

"What?" Alice was momentarily taken aback, gripping the supermarket door handle, staring blankly at the young man with yellow skin.

In fact, Chen Yihan is quite puzzled. The per capita income in the United States is very high, and cars are relatively inexpensive. However, there are not many people purchasing brands like Audi, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz, as well as the American-made Cadillac. Instead, there is a greater prevalence of older pickup trucks and sedans, which Chen Yihan, who has lived in China for over twenty years, has never been able to comprehend.

Even if it could be exchanged, Chen Yihan was certain that these three attributes were far more valuable than the fundamental attributes of strength and constitution

Chen Yihan deliberately waited for a few seconds, ensuring that no one else had developed any further affection for him, before he was led out of the supermarket by Alice. To be precise, it was Alice who held his hand, pulling him out of the supermarket.

Chen Yihan adjusted his collar and then walked step by step to Alice, sincerely saying: "I will accompany you."

As soon as Chen Yihan spoke, he instantly became the center of attention, with everyone turning to look at him.

Favorability 2 / 10

Chen Yihan cursed inwardly, "How the hell do you know what to do now? If it weren't for me, wouldn't you still be able to get home safely?" However, he spoke gently, asking, "Where is your home, and how far is it from here?"

Just now, James was a prime example. Did you not hear his cries of anguish

"Stop joking around. With your small stature, who knows who will be protecting whom when the time comes?" a man who had just hidden behind spoke sarcastically.

What should we do?" Alice asked, tightly gripping Chen Yihan's hand, adopting a demeanor of a delicate woman.

Indeed, Alice spoke up: "Everyone shut up!" Then she took a few steps forward, gazing at the people who had been talking, looking at each one in turn, and angrily asked: "When I asked who could help me just now, how did you all treat me? Now, when someone is willing to help me, how do you treat him? I know you look down on him because he is of Asian descent. But who among you dares to say they will help me? Now, when someone is willing to help me, how do you treat him? I know you look down on him because he is of Asian descent. But who among you dares to say they will help me? I ask you, who among you now dares to say, like him, 'I will accompany you and take you home'?"

Chen Yihan turned his head towards the crowd, especially looking at David Drayton, and said: "Rest assured, I will do my utmost to bring Alice home. If I do not encounter any unforeseen circumstances, I will return. By then, if there is no danger in the thick fog, everyone can safely go back to find their families."

Chen Yihan was taken aback for a moment, thinking to himself that there was indeed a pleasant surprise. He originally believed it was certainly related to the favorability level, which would make the task easier to accomplish. Unexpectedly, there was an even greater benefit; if the favorability level increased to 10, it would permanently increase his charm by 1 point

You have gained Alice's favor in the scene of "The Mist," increasing your favorability by 2. If the favorability reaches 10 in this scene, you can permanently increase your charm by 1 point

Aww!!!

Alice did not know whether it was because she had listened to Chen Yihan's words or because she regarded him as the only benefactor willing to help her. She no longer reprimanded the others, but instead walked over to Chen Yihan, took his hand, and said with utmost sincerity: "Thank you, let us go. I am very worried about my children, and I want to return home as soon as possible"

Chen Yihan longed to hold her hand and gently say something like, "Don't worry, I'm here for you," words that could deeply move and captivate her. However, this woman was simply not to Chen Yihan's taste. So he firmly stated, "I will accompany you and see you home"

Everyone fell silent, bowing their heads without a word

Chen Yihan was taken aback again, and then cursed inwardly, "This David Drayton is truly a despicable person. I spoke so well just now, yet you didn't give me any appreciation. I casually threw out a phrase in a desperate attempt, and you suddenly liked it. The feelings of these Americans are really hard to grasp.

"Um, alright, let's go," Chen Yihan said. Just as his words fell, the main god's medal emitted a 'ding' sound, signaling the arrival of a notification.

Alright, no problem. Chen Yihan and the short-haired Alice held hands, resembling a pair of good friends, as they walked forward together

Chen Yihan watched as the monster walked away, disappearing into the thick fog. He crouched down and said softly, "The fog is too thick; I can't see what it is. Let's hurry and get the car, then quickly take you home"

Attributes such as strength, physique, energy, and agility can be enhanced using main god points at the novice vending machine. However, the three attributes of perception, will, and charm do not appear to be available for exchange as seen in the - map - book. Does this mean that these three attributes cannot be exchanged for main god points? Or is it possible that they can only be obtained through the novice test and by reaching higher levels?

Chen Yihan and Alice had just arrived at the parking lot to retrieve their car when a monstrous roar echoed through the sky. The two instinctively crouched down quickly, hiding beside the car.

There is one more important point: if one speaks out, it is likely to be detrimental to one's own task. The most probable outcome is that these individuals will develop a lower opinion of oneself. Since it is a task, everything must be taken into consideration. If Chen Yihan may lack in other areas, he can certainly be considered a gaming enthusiast when it comes to games. He is thoroughly familiar with the tasks within the game and the possible variations.

As soon as the words fell, there was another sound of "ding".

What should I do? After several attempts, Alice finally gave up and turned to Chen Yihan, her gaze fixed on him as if he were a savior, filled with a desperate plea for help.

Alice tightly grasped Chen Yihan's hand, as if afraid he might run away, and suggested, "How about we go ahead to get the car, and then drive back along the road? My home is very close to the highway"

"Yes, don't mess around; this is not a joke!" The African American named Norton also spoke seriously to stop him, "Given the current situation, we don't know what greater dangers might be outside. What we need to do most is to stay in the supermarket and wait for rescue"

In their hearts, people of Asian descent are considered even inferior to Black individuals. Now, in the United States, a country where heroism prevails, when everyone else is retreating, an Asian person has unexpectedly stepped forward, leaving them in disbelief and stirring feelings of indignation within.

On what basis? A person of Asian descent is showing off as a hero here
