Chapter 268: The Soup Is Very Hot
Raising pigs was serious manual labor. Gu He had spent almost the entire day toiling in the pigpen with Lu Qi, holding nothing back as he taught him every pig-farming technique he knew. Even as a superhuman, he felt a little drained.
When night fell, Old Car Territory was once again filled with the clamor of meat soup being distributed.
Gu He hid inside the plastic-paneled washroom next to Lu Qi's shack. His connection cooldown with Ghost Girl had finally reset.
It had been a week since Sophia wrested away Ghost Girl's Talent chain.
"Ghost Girl, I hope you're still alive," Gu He muttered. Her name was selectable in his contact list, though he had no idea if that counted as a vital sign. He just hoped he wouldn't be connecting to a bloated corpse in a river.
The washroom was incredibly cramped. He sat on the toilet lid with the door panel right in front of his face. There was no light inside; his only illumination came from the flashlight in his hand. He hadn't dared to bring the Big Cup along, afraid it would start spouting nonsense.
He had already sent a connection notification earlier. Now, feeling slightly nervous, Gu He initiated the link.
His Holy Water Energy was currently sitting at 5%, but that was enough to maintain a single connection.
Suddenly, the panels surrounding the washroom warped into a bizarre play of light and shadow. Outside, the oinks and grunts of the fat pigs in the pen blurred, warping into a strange noise like a jammed cassette tape.
