CHAPTER 124: CHAPTER 124, GIRL, YOU’RE HERE ON VACATION, RIGHT?_1

The Dark Zone passage is closed?

This surprised Jiang Chen greatly. How could the passage close? If it closed, wouldn’t he be trapped in the Dark Zone, stuck in the Different Worlds for a lifetime? In that case, he would never be able to leave.

Angelina also noticed something was amiss. "Why can’t we get through the rift?"

Jiang Chen’s face darkened. "Someone has set up a Formation outside, preventing entry and exit through the rift passage."

"Doesn’t that mean we are trapped here forever?"

"Not necessarily. This is the Different Worlds, and many people come here to upgrade. It’s very likely that someone is toying with us; it’s probably someone who wants us to stay here."

Angelina nodded. "Then it’s no problem."

It wasn’t that it was no problem. It was a big problem. What kind of place was this? It was the Different Worlds. In the Different Worlds, they would face danger. Jiang Chen and Angelina needed to rest. They needed to refresh their spirits, ready to fight another day.

Even though they had awakened their professions, they were still human beings who needed to eat, drink, and sleep. This was common sense. Without proper rest, how would they fight the next day? Without food and water, even a Second-stage Hero would starve to death. A few days without rest, and even a Second-stage Hero couldn’t stand it.

Jiang Chen understood that someone was targeting him, and the people targeting him were none other than members of the Sakura Alliance. He had thought about fighting, but he never expected that the Sakura Alliance members would directly close the passage.

Jiang Chen sighed. "It seems tonight we can only spend the night in the Different Worlds."

"It’s fine. You sleep, and I will guard you. If any monster approaches, I’ll let you know."

Jiang Chen shook his head. "No, you sleep. I will guard you."

"It’s all the same. Here in the Different Worlds, there is no day or night. If a monster comes close, I can still see it."

Jiang Chen was not worried about the Different Worlds but about the people from the Sakura Alliance. It was very likely that the alliance members would take advantage of their deep sleep and launch a surprise attack on them, a possibility that couldn’t be ignored.

Jiang Chen said, "Let’s go find a safe place. I’ll guard you while you rest."

"Then let’s sleep in turns. I’ll sleep for four Timings, and you sleep for four Timings."

"Alright."

The two of them found a big tree not far from the rift and leaned against it.

Angelina chuckled. "This is also my first time spending the night in the Different Worlds. I wonder what it feels like?"

"I haven’t either."

"Then who should sleep first, you or me?"

"You sleep first."

Angelina nodded, leaned gently into Jiang Chen’s embrace, closed her eyes, and fell into a deep sleep. Jiang Chen leaned against the tree and silently lit a cigarette he took from his pocket.

Sakura Alliance, so we’re truly at odds now.

Outside the Dark Zone Rift, dozens of people stood around, all laughing heartily.

"If that guy knew we closed the Dark Zone Rift, I wonder what he would think."

"He must be going crazy."

"Hmph, he brought it on himself for offending our Sakura Alliance. We must make that guy suffer."

"That guy is a Hero. Maybe one day isn’t enough."

"Then let’s close it for ten days to half a month. Let them die of exhaustion inside, wondering if they even have food and water."

"If they don’t, that would be even better. He might be the first Hero to die of starvation."

"Hahaha..."

The people from the Sakura Alliance laughed uproariously, their laughter filled with unchecked arrogance.

「Dawn.」

Angelina was lying on Jiang Chen’s chest. She slowly woke up and looked at the time, then chided, "I’ve slept for six hours! Why didn’t you wake me up?"

Jiang Chen smiled. "You slept like a dead pig, so I didn’t wake you."

Angelina shot him a look. "You’re the one who slept like a dead pig! Did the rift open?"

Jiang Chen shook his head.

He had originally thought that someone might come to attack them while they were sleeping, but after waiting for a long time, not a single person came. Now Jiang Chen understood the Sakura Alliance’s intentions. They planned to trap him and Angelina inside. They wouldn’t need to hold them for too long; just ten days to half a month would do. Ten days to half a month without food and water, and they would starve to death inside.

It was actually a decent plan.

In the Different Worlds, everything was tainted by Demonic Beings. Nothing could be consumed, especially the water, which was polluted. Even the water here was pitch black and completely unusable. As for food, the same applied to the creatures of the Different Worlds. They couldn’t be consumed either.

Angelina took out water and food from her storage and handed it to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen asked, "You still have water?"

"Of course, I do! When we fight monsters in the wild, I’m the one who prepares the food and water. There’s not much left, but it’s enough for us for a year."

Jiang Chen was stunned. He hadn’t expected Angelina to have prepared so much.

"A year?"

Angelina nodded. "Yes, just in case one day we get trapped in the Different Worlds and can’t get out, we can at least live in the Different Worlds for a year."

This girl actually prepared so much?

Jiang Chen laughed. "Angelina, you truly are my lucky star."

"I always have been! Anyway, since we can’t leave, you sleep for a bit, and then we’ll go out and fight monsters again."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Okay. If there’s any noise, wake me up immediately. To tell you the truth, I’m also tired. Let me lie in your arms and get a full night’s sleep."

Angelina nodded.

"Don’t get any funny ideas."

"I’m not."

"You are."

"Alright, I’m going to sleep."

Four hours later, Jiang Chen woke up.

After a good sleep, he felt exceptionally refreshed.

Angelina took out a toothbrush and proceeded to brush her teeth as well.

She even has a toothbrush? Jiang Chen was speechless. What else does she have in her storage? Is she on vacation or something? She even has a toothbrush?

To Jiang Chen’s amazement, Angelina then took out a washbasin and a towel for washing her face.

Jiang Chen stared, dumbfounded.

Alright, this girl really is here on vacation. I wouldn’t even be surprised if she pulled out sunglasses next.

Jiang Chen teased, "You don’t happen to have a tent in there too, do you?"

"Yes, I do. And also blankets, pillows, and a double bed."

"How come you even have a double bed?"

"I prepared that too. I wanted to try how it feels to sleep outdoors, so I prepared a double bed."

Little minx, was this prepared for a romp in the wild? He rolled his eyes. Indeed, she came for a holiday; all these were prepared.

"Then why didn’t you take it out last night?"

"You didn’t ask, so I didn’t take it out."

Jiang Chen nodded. "I suppose what you’re saying makes sense." Then, he playfully slapped Angelina on the buttocks.

A crisp SMACK echoed.

Angelina smiled and passed Jiang Chen a toothbrush. He took it, freshened up, and looked at the groups of monsters not far away.

Jiang Chen suddenly smiled.

So many monsters. The Sakura Alliance has definitely miscalculated. With no one competing for kills, my experience points will skyrocket!

After freshening up, they continued to focus on upgrading.

Jiang Chen had been somewhat worried initially, but now he wasn’t at all. This girl had prepared a year’s worth of food and water. Heaven knew what she had been thinking.

Jiang Chen activated the Heavenly Ruler Dragon Mode and began to kill monsters to his heart’s content.

His experience points shot up rapidly.
