Chapter 18

Although if a person loses some values, they will become unhealthy, he also knew that if the amount lost is small, like 0.1, it’s just similar to having a severe cold and doesn’t really matter much, so he acted without much concern.

  Then, with a single command, Gavin Dawson suddenly discovered that a semi-transparent circular tube had appeared between himself and the target font circle.

  Meanwhile, the other party’s original 0 spirit value suddenly split into ten floating values of 0.1 each.

  “Ten 0.1s?” Gavin Dawson was a bit surprised, then used his “gaze” to lock onto one of the 0.1s and issued the transfer command. The next moment, Gavin Dawson suddenly found the scene before his eyes had changed—he was now standing on a smooth dirt path, and had a body again. On both sides of the dirt path was nothing but pitch-black, murky, and bizarre space—nothing could be seen, nothing was clear, only this strange road leading straight ahead.

  Ahead, the road stretched endlessly, and vaguely, a huge doorframe could be seen. The doorframe had no door, and beyond it seemed to be a dazzling starry sky. From there, an unusually familiar and warm call was emanating, summoning Gavin Dawson to hurry over.

  But, Gavin Dawson couldn’t help but notice something odd—he seemed to have something extra on his back. Turning his head, he found that a misty 0.1 value was stuck to his back.

  Although the number was large, it seemed to have no weight at all, nor did it bring him any pressure.

  “As long as I carry this 0.1 across the dirt path and enter that door, does that mean the value will be transferred to me?” Almost at the same time, a clear thought arose in Gavin Dawson’s mind.

  “So this is transfer? So simple?” After this thought, Gavin Dawson was delighted. As long as he walked to the end of the road, the transfer would succeed?

  But before he could finish being happy, a series of loud rumbles suddenly came from behind. Gavin Dawson was startled, quickly turned around, and saw that only a few centimeters of the dirt path behind him had started to collapse downward. A large chunk of debris suddenly vanished into smoke, turning into nothingness, and with half a foot still on it, Gavin Dawson stumbled and fell into the pitch-black space below.

  “Ah—” He only had time to let out a scream before the dirt path under his other foot also disappeared, and his whole body fell into the void, completely swallowed by darkness.

  Startled again, Gavin Dawson suddenly opened his eyes while falling, and then saw the computer in front of him.

  “Transfer failed… So it’s not about walking slowly—the road will gradually collapse, and you can only run.” Wiping away his cold sweat, Gavin Dawson finally understood what had just happened, and immediately cursed in his heart. If he had known, he would have started running as soon as he entered, instead of stopping to look around!

Chapter 012: The Experiment Continues

  After that, he immediately entered the transfer state again. But this time, he noticed that the target he had just transferred from now had a white font circle. Amid dozens of blue dots, a single white stood out so clearly. That font circle: spirit, 0, spirit value, -0.1. And in the center of the font circle, where the human body should be, a 0.1 spirit value was quietly floating.

  “Hm?” After pausing for a moment, Gavin Dawson locked onto the separated 0.1 and issued the transfer command again.

  This time, as soon as Gavin Dawson entered the dirt path, he didn’t care about anything else and immediately sprinted forward. After running more than ten meters, the dirt path behind him began to disappear meter by meter again.

  The speed of this disappearance was very fast, very fast. Gavin Dawson kept sprinting for another ten meters, and when he occasionally looked back, he found that the void behind him was only three meters away. He was shocked and gritted his teeth to speed up even more…

  A minute of full-speed sprinting—definitely at a hundred-meter dash pace—left Gavin Dawson breathing heavily and sweating on his forehead. But when he glanced back, he saw that the disappearing road was still only one or two meters behind, which scared him even more and made him speed up again.

  After another minute of all-out running, Gavin Dawson’s breathing became more and more rapid, his body was getting tired, and sweat covered him in layers. His speed was a bit slower than before, but the disappearing road behind him was still right on his heels.

  “Damn, no matter how fast I run, it can keep up?” A trace of surprise flashed through his mind. Just as Gavin Dawson slowed down a bit, he suddenly felt his foot step into emptiness and once again fell into darkness.

  “……” Waking up in silence, Gavin Dawson stared blankly at the computer again. But this time, he didn’t immediately enter the transfer state. Instead, he calmed his spirit a little and looked at the target from whom he had transferred the value. At a glance, he found that the designer with the white font circle was actually sleeping soundly on the desk…
