Main Character:

Shen Yao

The coming time was rather difficult, especially for Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen.

"Let's go, there shouldn't be any danger," Xu Ningchen said, pointing at the calm water surface and the ships constantly sailing toward them.

Shen Yao:...

Shen Yao frowned, feeling extremely annoyed by this. They had agreed not to interfere with each other, yet the moment he turned around, he came over to take advantage. These people... "Let's go."

The docked ship merely flashed, throwing the surrounding people who wanted to crowd over far away. When purchasing it, Xu Ningchen had been very selective, and now, benefiting from the ship's superior speed, others found it hard to catch up.

The expression on Shen Yao's face became bright and radiant, and she soon coaxed herself into a good mood.

Xu Ningchen found this only cute, raising his voice to signal Shen Yao to sit steady and hold on. He raised his hand to speed up, and the ship beneath him, like a sharp sword shuttling through the cloud layer, whooshed straight toward the destination.

At this time, the uptown was in a mess, with only a few sporadic buildings left.

And the people who had originally survived had long been buried at the bottom of the water by those tsunamis. Such powerful impact was beyond human strength; unless one had the ability to teleport instantly, ordinary people found it extremely difficult to survive natural disasters.

Xu Ningchen and Shen Yao strolled around the uptown, finding no survivors, but instead encountered many corpses soaked in the water with no breath.

Shen Yao couldn't bear to look at it, raising her hand to tug at Xu Ningchen's sleeve to signal leaving.

"Wait, no rush."

Xu Ningchen turned around and patted Shen Yao's arm, soothing her with a sentence before quickly rowing the ship to the side of the corpses.

Shen Yao:... Huh?

Xu Ningchen didn't explain, but instead took out a wooden stick from the cabin and poked the corpse soaked in the water.

They couldn't possibly have corpses come back to life, right? The ordinary people in these instances weren't taskers dragged into the Infinite World; it was simply impossible.

Just as Shen Yao was guessing Xu Ningchen's intention, Xu Ningchen took out a fishing net from the cabin again, directly gathering the corpses inside and hanging them at the side of the ship.

Continuing to start the ship toward the location of the next corpse, Xu Ningchen repeated his previous operation, going back and forth several times. Shen Yao blinked her eyes, seeming to somewhat understand Xu Ningchen's intention.

Rest in peace?

However, there was no land here for burial, but there was some flammable gasoline stored in the space, so cremation could be considered as a safer and more convenient option.

Shen Yao ran over to help. There were still some fishing nets in the cabin, so they simply used them all to hold the corpses.

Relying on the ship's starter, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen pulled a full circle of corpses before temporarily stopping, heading straight for a building not far away that still had several stories of height.

Mooring the ship by the building's window, Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen, one dragging and one pulling, soon moved a circle of corpses inside.

"Gasoline"

Shen Yao took out tools from the space backpack, Xu Ningchen poured gasoline over the corpses, then took out a lighter to ignite and burn them.

Flames produced smoke when burning, but since there was no one around, the two of them didn't need to worry too much like before.

Shen Yao raised her hand and poked Xu Ningchen's shoulder, asking softly if this was useful. Based on the hints at the beginning of entering the instance, helping to collect the corpses seemed to count as a kind of alternative help.

At least it didn't let these corpses be exposed in the wilderness, and besides, with such a huge natural disaster occurring, when the tide receded, plagues would surely break out.

"Nothing else to do for now, trying it out isn't a loss." Even if it didn't count, they could just treat it as eliminating wrong options. When encountering the same kind of extra-point mission next time, they could take new measures from other aspects.

Shen Yao and the two waited until the fire diminished, then turned around and continued the work of gathering corpses.

To be honest, there were quite a few corpses on the water surface nowadays, and the two of them weren't limited to the scope of cremation. Basically, they would scoop up a circle and send them to be burned.

They wouldn't leave the ashes after burning either, but collected them and placed them uniformly, or found a place with decent scenery (it seemed like everything around was water) for burial.

Busy, stopping and going.

After using up all the gasoline in the space backpack, the two's corpse-collecting journey came to an end.

"There are still a few hours left."

Xu Ningchen lowered his head to look at the satellite phone in his hand, using it to confirm their clearance time.

"System, is there any more danger?"

Shen Yao sat in the cabin, her body was a bit tired, her waist sore and legs aching.

"Host, prepare well for the next instance mission."

The system indicated that there was no more danger here; the greatest danger (tsunami) had already passed, and next was a rare leisurely time.

It was just that this leisurely time was taken by the two hosts to collect corpses, and she didn't know if the Infinite World side would exchange these for corresponding points.

Although the system had already contacted the Infinite World relying on its own talent, it still couldn't interfere too much. It truly hoped the host could be more capable, so they could make a fortune in this mission world.

Shen Yao didn't know about the system's boundless imagination. At this moment, Shen Yao could finally breathe a sigh of relief, no longer needing to be anxious like before, nor needing to live in fear every day.

Closing her eyes slightly, feeling the warm breeze brushing her face, the corners of Shen Yao's mouth unconsciously curved up, and her tense expression became soft and gentle.

Just as the system said, Shen Yao could prepare for the next instance mission.

A few hours before the end of this instance named Drifting was a rare leisurely time.

For all taskers who were still alive in the instance, they no longer had the rear worries from before. Unless they sought death themselves or wanted to be troublemakers, there was basically no possibility of capsizing.

Ding—

Instance 'Drifting' clearance completed, settling—

The mechanical sound in her mind woke up the dazed Shen Yao.

She stood in a vast white settlement space, staring at the point number at the very top.

985

???

Deducting the original twenty points she had, and then deducting the ten points obtained from clearance, the extra points she got were actually this many?

It seemed that collecting corpses definitely counted as helping others, although corpses were dead things.

The mechanical sound then gave the points one would receive for helping others.

Living people were worth the most, at ten points, and corpses the least, at five points.

If a Tasker merely helped in a simple way, such as moving their mouth, points would be given according to the extent of the plot.

Shen Yao could get over nine hundred points, a large part of which came from collecting corpses, the rest from previously escorting those people to Feng Shan, and finally some scattered, not very important help.

Opening her interface, Shen Yao noticed that her strength, spirit, speed, and agility had each improved by one point, and the "pregnant" following her name now displayed a specific time.

Four months!

Calculating carefully, the time flow speed of the Instance and the Infinite World differed, but the Instance's time still left traces on her, as could be seen from the months of pregnancy.

Besides this, the Infinite World also actively cleared items Shen Yao had placed in her Space Backpack that were unused and belonged to the Copy World.

It seemed supplies from the Copy World could not be brought into the Infinite World via the Space Backpack; the plan to exploit a bug went bankrupt before it even began.

There was nothing in the Settlement Space, and after learning her points, Shen Yao couldn't wait to return to the Infinite World.

Whoosh—

A flash of white light passed, and when Shen Yao opened her eyes again, she found she had already appeared in the Instance Hall.

Xu Ningchen was beside her, the two one before the other, differing by no more than a few seconds.

"Return to the Residence first."

The time they entered the Instance was the same as the time they appeared.

That is to say, compared to Normal Difficulty Instances, time in the Infinite World would not flow; as for other higher-difficulty Instances, they could only verify it slowly after entering.

The arrangement of items in the Residence was exactly as it was when they left.

Xu Ningchen first paid the room fee for the next three days via his wristband, then he and Shen Yao sat together to check their respective points.

"1270"

Xu Ningchen had nearly three hundred more points than Shen Yao; after all, there were objective differences between men and women in physical strength, and some things in the Instance were first taken on by Xu Ningchen at the front, so having more points was normal.

"Adding up to over two thousand, not yet enough to buy fixed property, but the System Store is already open; we can first use points to enhance our strength and strive to earn more points in the next Instance."

The opening of the System Store had various restrictions, the most basic being that one must first clear an Official Instance.

When Shen Yao and Xu Ningchen first arrived in the Infinite World, they had also been envious of the various items on sale in the System Store; now that they had successfully cleared an Instance and held over a hundred points, they could not miss the System Store.
