Chapter 1793 The Chasing Sun, Part Six
"You have no idea what I saw today. A woman punched a sandbag so hard it flew up into the air. Her punching speed and muscles were so strong, she was practically a ghost."

"Do you know what's even scarier? That woman seems to like wearing Lolita. Hiss—what a contrast, so scary!"

"Excuse me!" A villager raised his hand and asked curiously, "What is Lolita?"

"Um..." He didn't know how to answer this question for a moment, "It's a style of clothing. It will be here soon."

"I'll draw it for you later. The one who sold it to Hermes's Traveling Hat was called... Herbie Hermes? You'll get more money if you sell it to her, right?"

"Okay! Thank you so much!" The villagers were very excited.

"Calm down, calm down!" He waved his hand modestly, feeling quite proud as he looked at the village that had changed so much in just over three months.

In order to obtain more and more detailed map information, he began to help the village develop and create valuable products.

Although there is not much traffic in the world border area, the flow of supplies is quite convenient due to the cooperation with the running branch of [Hermes's Travel Hat].

During these three months, he had collected enough map information and planned hundreds of routes.

Since these routes allow him to run without being affected, they are also quite suitable as business routes for [Hermes's Travel Hat]. These routes are the opportunity for him to connect with the running branch.

This was also the first time he did it. It turned out that [Godlock] was so complicated and could really do business.

Unfortunately, he did not complete the challenge of catching up with the sun in these three months, but he was not discouraged at all. Instead, he became more eager to try.

Because he is getting closer and closer to what once seemed impossible.

He lost weight, developed abdominal muscles, and completed the challenge of unifying the mind and body in the assessment, gaining access to log in for extended periods of time.

On the day he got the qualification certificate, he found Yang Kui as excitedly as a child and told her proudly that the day when she would despair was not far away.

That day, the blind old woman, who was like a gun, fell silent for the first time, and then she smiled gently.

"Your health has improved."

But after these words, Yang Kui's smile disappeared, as if it was an illusion, and she returned to her usual sarcastic attitude.

He didn't care. After all, they had been together for more than three months, and they might continue to be together in the future. The task of catching up with the sun was not an easy task.

After his daily bickering with Yang Kui, he sat on the edge of the cliff and watched the sun rise, feeling a sense of peace he had never felt before.

It seemed like he hadn't farmed for materials, earned achievements, or PKed other players for three months. Although his level fluctuated, it was only to improve his agility.

But he did not feel anxious. Instead, he wanted to continue enjoying himself and help the villagers improve their living standards.

"No wonder everyone says the ultimate form of the game is farming. Farming is great, it's relaxing and enjoyable."

"Ah~ How about talking to those guys at the Botanical Garden? I heard they've developed a watermelon that's bigger than a human."

There were familiar footsteps behind him, but the usual sarcastic voices were absent.

He didn't look back, perhaps because of the unprecedented tranquility brought by the beauty of the sunrise, he said some true words.

"Thank you, I'm much better now."

"Don't thank me, you just want to become a better person." Yang Kui didn't speak as sharply as usual.

After all, she was not the kind of person who would find fault with anything. When she ridiculed him for being insincere, he turned his lies into truth. When she mocked him for being fat, he successfully lost weight.

There's only one thing left.

"Old woman, I calculated my attributes, and this can be done." He turned his head to look at Yang Kui, very seriously, "If I get a few more professions and some speed-up equipment, the probability of success can be increased to 100%."

"And now?" "Hmm..." He thought for a moment and said, "Fifty percent, actually the attributes are already enough, but I like to be absolutely sure, you know?"

"I won't feel at ease unless it's 200 percent."

Perhaps he noticed that Yang Kui was a little different from usual, so he teased.

"What's wrong? Are you anxious? Don't worry, it will take at most another half a year."

"Half a year is good." Yang Kui chuckled, shook his head and wanted to leave, but his body swayed and fell to the ground.

"Old woman, what are you kidding, old woman? Old woman! Yang Kui!"

……

"Doctor, how is she?" he asked the doctor anxiously.

The doctor sent by [Hermes's Traveling Hat] shook his head and whispered, "He's dying. There's no way he can be saved."

"Are you kidding me! She is a blessed one! The blessed ones can come back to life! They can only..." His voice was stuck in his throat.

Those who are blessed will be resurrected from the dead. They will only die because their lifespan has come to an end. Yang Kui, who is over eighty years old, does not have much time left to live.

The blessed ones who can only die because of their lifespan cannot avoid dying because of their lifespan, unless they choose to give up the blessing and give up their human body.

But this was something the proud blind old woman would never accept.

He just felt dizzy.

"What, how is it possible?"

"You, you have a special mission, and it's world-class, how could you die?"

"The mission, if you don't complete the mission, you won't die. The game, the game settings..."

He didn't know how long he had been standing in front of the cliff. After the sun rose and set, he felt the wetness on his face and suddenly realized what had happened. A sound like a shattering mirror filled his ears.

The moment the sun set again, he realized that this was a [real] world.

A world where you will regret if you miss it.

People who really live in the real world will leave behind a handful of yellow earth after death, but when people here die, there will be nothing left.

He clenched his fists suddenly, logged off, calculated the time to go to bed, got up on time, and replenished his nutrition. There was still an hour before the sun rose.

The villagers seemed to have known what he was going to do. Instead of lying in bed at the time when he should have fallen asleep, they left the village and stood at the edge of the world waiting for him.

Yang Kui was also there. She was much healthier, but still weak from the last breath.

He walked silently to Yang Kui and carried Yang Kui on his back. The villagers came forward and helped to secure Yang Kui.

"If you leave me behind, maybe you can complete this challenge." Yang Kui said in a low voice.

"Don't be silly, old woman."

"If you chase the sun for no reason, wouldn't you be a fool?"

The moment the sun's rays appeared behind them, that was when he started running.

He chased the night, as if this could save the life of the old man who was destined to die tonight.
