Even though their attire was so abrupt, the pedestrians on the road didn't notice their existence at all. They were like ghosts from another world, wandering under the haze of Wuji.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, the three figures stopped at the same time in front of a small restaurant at the corner of an alley.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap tap tap——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One of them stepped forward and gently tapped on the glass door of the restaurant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss, who was dozing at the dining table, was awakened by the knocking. He blankly glanced at the door, but as if seeing nothing, he laid back down somewhat suspiciously...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person who just knocked froze. As if realizing something, he turned around and slapped the bamboo hat of the white-haired figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The white-haired one let out an 'oh', and slowly began to wrap the bandages around his arms. His gaze towards Jian Changsheng was somewhat resentful, seemingly feeling offended that he slapped his bamboo hat askew... He actually quite liked this tattered bamboo hat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...What's with that look of yours.\" Jian Changsheng was somewhat speechless. \"If you hadn't secretly buried yourself in the ground in the middle of the night to play disappear, making us get up the next day to look for you everywhere and attracting the pursuit of Calamities, we would have arrived long ago!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohua aggrievedly and silently lowered his head. After a dozen seconds or so, he finally whispered:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sleeping in the ground is warmer... I accidentally overslept.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright... let's eat first.\" Sun Bumian opened his dry, cracked lips, his voice hoarse like he had just walked out of a desert. \"If we don't eat... I'm going to... starve to death.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After saying that, his legs went soft, and he almost collapsed to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tap tap tap——\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng desperately slapped the glass door. \"Boss, save a life!!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss was jolted awake from his dream. He saw three people with tattered clothes at the door, and one of them was holding onto the wall with a deathly pale face, as if he was going to die the next moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He immediately jumped up from his chair and hurriedly opened the door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's going on? What happened to him? Do you need any medicine??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng swept his gaze over the wall, his speech rate as fast as a machine gun:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We need braised mutton, pot-stewed chicken, hot and sour cabbage, wolfberry black-bone chicken soup...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boss: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought it was a heart attack, but it turned out to be starving ghosts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss looked at them speechlessly, casually tied an apron around himself, and walked into the Kitchen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait, it'll be quick.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua supported Sun Bumian and sat down at the nearest seat, but the latter was like having no bones; as soon as he sat down, he slumped onto the table, looking like his soul had left his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this, Jian Changsheng still couldn't help but speak:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You're already starving like this. How about taking a bite of Candied Haws first to pad your stomach...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the words Candied Haws, Sun Bumian's eyes widened. His entire person abruptly turned his head to the side and began to retch violently!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't mention those words.\" Jiang Xiaohua tried to save Sun Bumian's fragile life. \"He's already starved to this extent. If he vomits again, his bile will be all gone...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After Jiang Xiaohua finished speaking, he paused for a moment. His throat began to roll gently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, now that you mentioned it, I also...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh——\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohua turned his head towards another trash can and retched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jian Changsheng: ...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This journey through the Gray World was undoubtedly a hellish trial for the three of them... In the first few hours of entering the Gray World from the Tianshu Domain, everything went smoothly. Relying on Jiang Xiaohua's power, the three of them shielded themselves from all Calamities. They even cooked a hotpot on the road using a newly bought pot and vegetables.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The nightmare had to start with Jiang Xiaohua burying himself in the soil without a word...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that night, Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian woke up to find Jiang Xiaohua missing, feeling as if the sky had fallen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They frantically searched around for Jiang Xiaohua, thinking that some powerful Calamity had cracked his ability and carried him off under the cover of night... During the search process, they accidentally attracted a batch of Calamities and could only brace themselves to fight them. Fortunately, these Calamities were only at the Fourth Order level, and they eventually won narrowly. But in this process, all the pots, vegetables, and meat they brought with them were destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Jian Changsheng and Sun Bumian were sweating profusely from the fight, Jiang Xiaohua slowly crawled out from the ground, and even stretched lazily in front of all the Calamities...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Jian Changsheng's desire to kill reached its peak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, Jiang Xiaohua also seemed to realize he had made a mistake and obediently followed Jian Changsheng and the other along the way. Although they never experienced Calamity attacks again, all three of their food rations were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no other way out, they could only choose to eat the Candied Haws Sun Bumian conjured to stave off hunger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this Candied Haws, Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua could eat it, but Sun Bumian himself adamantly refused to eat it. He relied on his physique to endure hard along the way, walking continuously for several days.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And after eating Candied Haws continuously for so many days, Jian Changsheng and Jiang Xiaohua's attitude towards it also went from \"pretty tasty\" to \"a bit monotonous\" to \"hard to swallow\"... In the end, it had reached the point where their expressions changed at the mention of haws.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally... they arrived at the Wuji Domain!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When plates of fragrant dishes were served on the table, the eyes of the three turned green. Especially Sun Bumian, like a dying male lion, almost poured the plates into his mouth along with the food to chew.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because there were no other chefs, the boss could only stir-fry the dishes one by one. Whenever he finished stir-frying one dish and served it on the table, the previous dish had already turned into a translucent Optical Disc... Beside the Optical Disc, there were three pairs of dark green eyes staring straight at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sweat on the boss's forehead became denser and denser. The Shovel he was swinging in the back kitchen was almost smoking, but no matter how hard he tried, he could only harvest a pile of ruthless Optical Discs. Having been in business for so many years, it was the first time he felt \"bullying\" in his own shop.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boss was busy for a full hour and a half before the three ancestors outside were finally full.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Burp...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian lay on the back of the chair, closed his eyes, and let out a full burp. \"I'm alive...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What's the next step?\" Jian Changsheng wiped his Polished to a Shine lips. \"We've already arrived at Wuji. How do we rescue Hearts?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...Good question.\" Sun Bumian answered honestly. \"I don't know either.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You don't know??\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why would I know? Weren't you the one who insisted on coming to rescue Hearts? I thought you had a complete plan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I...\" Jian Changsheng was rendered speechless. \"I was thinking, wait until we arrive at the Wuji Domain before making detailed plans... You see, we're not familiar with the Wuji Domain. How could we deploy in advance? Didn't we have to come over first?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"True.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Bumian picked his teeth with a toothpick while asking, \"So now, do you have a plan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...I'm not familiar with the Wuji Domain... but... Clubs should be very familiar!\" Jian Changsheng changed the topic, turning his head to look at Jiang Xiaohua, his eyes full of hope. \"Clubs, this time we really can only rely on you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Xiaohua, who had been silent all along, looked blankly at the two. After feeling their sincere gazes, he blinked...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then pointed innocently at himself:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I... go defeat the Silver King?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1391,"2026-05-30T14:16:25.659Z","2026-06-01T04:31:26.536Z",1,"novelbin.me","3ed6307c5f307d9c0812524722b740bb2c9bde08ee9d9e24cb3bd29bc7a696a2","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-969","i-am-not-the-god-of-drama-chapter-967",1902,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fi-am-not-the-god-of-drama-cover.jpg"]
