The Little Squirrel System closed its eyes and began trying to contact Qiao Xi from the interstellar realm.
After a while, it opened its eyes, looking quite exhausted.
It slowly crawled onto Gu Wanyin's shoulder and placed its paw on her forehead.
Then, Gu Wanyin heard its voice.
"Host, I just contacted Qiao Xi's assistant. She told me some good news - there's information about the Doctor!"
"Really?" Gu Wanyin was quite pleased. "If your Doctor comes back, doesn't that mean all our problems will be solved?"
"Yes! But she said the Doctor hasn't returned yet. She's trying to figure out how to get us out of this horror world, but it might take about ten more days."
Ten days... Gu Wanyin frowned.
That meant they would have to enter the next instance, no matter what.
"We still have a chance to avoid danger, but what about you, System? If you stay in this horror world for so long, won't something happen to you?" Gu Wanyin asked worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm not that fragile!" the System said quite proudly. "I won't let you down, and I certainly won't let 066 laugh at me!"
Hearing its bold words, Gu Wanyin felt motivated too.
"Alright! Then I'll make sure to lead them safely through the next instance!"
"Oh, by the way, Host, with Qiao Xi's help, I've recovered one of my functions."
"What is it?"
Just as Gu Wanyin finished asking in her mind, she suddenly smelled the aroma of food.
She turned her head to look.
On the other side of the room, a table had appeared out of nowhere, laden with steaming hot dishes!
"What's going on?" Dong Yue and the others were shocked. "How did a table full of food suddenly appear?"
At the same time, they couldn't help but swallow repeatedly.
After all, they hadn't dared to eat meat in the instance, but now the table was filled with steaming braised pork, chicken stew with mushrooms, beer-braised duck, boiled beef, and more...
The aroma was incredibly tempting.
"I just brought it over from the hotel," Gu Wanyin said calmly. "You can eat as much as you like."
"Boss Gu, you're amazing!"
Bai Shuwen, Dong Yue, and Zhuang Xiaoxia had already witnessed the various wonders of the hotel, so after a moment of surprise, they didn't think much more of it. As for Gu Han, she knew about the System, so she could easily guess what had happened.
No one said anything more and happily sat down at the table to feast.
From then on, whatever they wanted to eat, they just had to tell Gu Wanyin, who would then tell the System, and it would be transferred directly from the hotel.
"Suddenly feels like we're on vacation," Gu Han said contentedly. "And we don't even have to spend our own money."
"Yeah."
"I wonder what the next instance will be like," Bai Shuwen said, with a hint of worry. "The last instance was pretty simple. Will the next one be more difficult?"
"It definitely will be."
"That's fine, the harder it is, the more exciting it'll be. Besides, we have the jewelry from the Demon King, so we're not worried."
...
Three days later, at noon, it was time to enter the next instance.
Gu Wanyin carefully placed the Little Squirrel System in her backpack.
She had initially thought about letting the System wait here, but she was worried about leaving it alone, so she decided to bring it into the instance with her.
As soon as the five of them sat down on the edge of the bed, that spinning sensation came over them again.
When Gu Wanyin opened her eyes again, she found herself standing in front of a large building.
The building must have been at least a dozen stories tall, looking like one of those office buildings housing multiple companies.
Gu Wanyin took a moment to gather herself, then stepped towards the entrance of the building.
