Do Your Best, Leave the Rest to Fate

Blood gushed from Chen Nan's nose. Dazed, he pressed his fingers to his nostrils to stop the flow.

After a while, the bleeding finally subsided. However, it couldn't stop the worry churning in Chen Nan's heart.

Had his condition worsened? Could he even last until the end?

Was it possible that his transmigration was solely to punish Wang Yifu and the others for their crimes?

Was this fate?

Numerous questions flooded Chen Nan's mind.

At this moment, he felt weak all over, cold sweat pouring down his back, his heart pounding and his body trembling. He knew he must have low blood sugar.

Although he didn't feel intensely hungry, he knew he had to replenish his energy.

He forced himself to get up, changed out of his school uniform, and put on another set of clothes.

Shouldering his bag, he slowly walked towards a small alley.

There were many places to eat around Renxin Maternity Hospital, and many stayed open until midnight.

Some even had late-night snack stalls open after midnight.

Chen Nan casually entered a small shop. The staff inside were startled to see him.

"What happened to you? Are you okay, kid?" the female clerk asked.

Chen Nan managed a weak smile and said, "I'm fine. Could you please make me a bowl of sugar water? I'll go wash up in the restroom and order food when I come back."

"The restroom is over there." The female clerk helped Chen Nan to the restroom and then went to prepare the sugar water.

This shop was run by a couple; the female clerk was the owner, and her husband was the chef.

She called towards the kitchen, "Brew a bowl of sugar water first. This kid's face is as pale as a ghost."

Shortly after, her husband brought the sugar water and asked what was going on.

The female clerk couldn't explain. Even when Chen Nan returned, they still looked at him with curious eyes.

Chen Nan found a seat and, after drinking the sugar water the female clerk brought him, felt much better.

He thanked her and said, "Just make me a bowl of noodles, with some vegetables, meat, and an egg."

The female clerk agreed and went to prepare it in the back.

Soon, the noodles were served. The female clerk was busy fiddling with a laptop.

As Chen Nan ate, he pondered his condition.

What was really going on with his body?

This nosebleed was clearly caused by overusing his abilities.

However, the previous two times he'd felt dizzy and fainted occurred after he'd finished his late-night meals.

Was there a connection?

If there was a connection, it was that after these abnormal episodes, he experienced low blood sugar.

But the problem was, this time the low blood sugar was a result of overexerting his brain.

Although the brain was a small part of the human body, its metabolism was extremely active, and it consumed the most blood flow and glucose.

Therefore, it was completely understandable that overusing his brain would lead to low blood sugar.

But the previous two times, the abnormalities happened after he ate noodles, and he hadn't used any abilities. How could he have symptoms of low blood sugar?

It was truly strange.

Was it an illness, or something else? Chen Nan had no definite answer.

He shook his head, no longer dwelling on the issue, and finished the large bowl of noodles.

His body felt increasingly comfortable. He looked at the female clerk and noticed the laptop.

So, he asked, "Auntie, could I borrow your computer? I can pay you."

The female clerk was taken aback at first, then smiled and said, "Just use it. Why would you pay? Just pay for the noodles."

As she spoke, she brought over the laptop.

Taking the laptop, Chen Nan smiled and said, "Thank you." He then took out earphones that came with his phone.

He plugged them into the laptop's jack, put the other end in his ears, and took out a file folder, retrieving a USB drive from inside.

He inserted it into the computer and opened it. Inside was a recording.

Chen Nan listened to the recording, put away the USB drive, took out another one, and listened to that as well.

With everything clear in his mind, Chen Nan returned the computer to the female clerk, thanked her, and then took out ten yuan, placing it on the table before leaving.

Seeing that Chen Nan had left ten yuan, the female clerk immediately ran out to call him. Chen Nan, however, left quickly without looking back.

"What a strange kid, but so kind-hearted!" the female clerk exclaimed, holding the ten yuan.

She couldn't help but be impressed. Ten yuan could buy five bowls of noodles like the ones here.

Chen Nan walked on the street. It was so late, and walking alone outside was becoming increasingly dangerous.

What should he do now?

He didn't have a solid idea in his head.

Stations, parks, and similar places should have been good spots to rest. Ordinary wanderers would choose such locations.

However, his enemies would likely think of these places too. Therefore, these spots might not be safe.

After much thought, he found one place he felt was suitable.

So, he walked along the street, saw a public restroom, and went inside.

Chen Nan entered the women's restroom. Since it was late at night, there was no one inside.

The women's restroom had individual stalls and was very clean. Although there was an unavoidable unpleasant odor, Chen Nan couldn't afford to be picky.

He hid in a stall and locked himself in. It was a squat toilet, so Chen Nan closed the lid, sat on it, placed his backpack on his knees, and leaned forward, resting his head on it.

Slowly, Chen Nan fell asleep.

He was destined to have a terrible night's sleep, a truly fragmented one.

It wasn't until morning, when a cleaner came to sweep, that Chen Nan finally woke up completely.

The discomfort in his body was a given. He had to wait for the cleaner to leave before he could get out.

But as he waited, it gradually became the morning rush for the restroom, and Chen Nan could only continue to squat inside.

It wasn't until around nine o'clock that he found an opening and left.

Stepping out onto the street, the breeze dispersed the smell from his body, and Chen Nan thought about getting something to eat.

While eating breakfast, Chen Nan considered some matters.

Suddenly, his phone rang. It was Butterfly Loves Flowers.

A voice came through the phone: "Everything is set up. You can use it anytime."

Then the call ended.

Chen Nan deleted the call record, pondering in his heart that with both locations prepared, it should be time to cast the net.

However, he needed to find a place to charge his phone, and where to go was still a problem.

At this moment, Chen Nan felt as unsettled as a duckweed, unable to find peace.

Because, at any moment, he might encounter someone on the street who could launch a fatal attack on him.

All of this was uncertain; he had no means to deal with it.

Chen Nan didn't believe in fate, but it seemed that at this point, he could only surrender himself to it.

He decided to find a place that was not a high-traffic area and not frequented by purely business-minded people.

After much deliberation, he could only look for places that rented out individual rooms.

This was because the Wang siblings, despite being essentially evil, had the nature of merchants.

Therefore, hotels, inns, amusement parks, large restaurants, and the like might have communication channels among them.

Chen Nan believed that if they wanted to catch him, they would focus their efforts in these areas.

However, individual rentals were another matter.

For Chen Nan, the most difficult part was the issue of his age and identity.

He wondered if he could still find a tenant like that landlady. Of course, it would be even better if he could find a greedy landlord.

As the saying goes, any problem that can be solved with money is not a real problem.

He had enough money to get by, and after this money ran out, his plan should be completed.

Since he decided to look for a place, he couldn't delay for a moment. After eating breakfast, Chen Nan set off immediately.

It had to be said, in this world, very few people wouldn't be tempted by money.

Chen Nan rented a room not far from Renxin Maternity Hospital.

The owner had two apartments; he would live in one and use the other as a short-term rental to earn some extra cash.

In fact, if someone had a few apartments, doing this would be quite good.

Especially for a rental like the one Chen Nan found, it could save many intermediate steps. Thus, the landlord's earnings would be pure profit with no discounts.

Before moving in, Chen Nan naturally wanted to gather some information and see if there were any animals that could help him.

Nearby, there were about seven or eight dogs, but not all of them were strays; some were free-roaming pets.

Chen Nan mentally communicated with each of these dogs, and they could be considered his friends.

If anything were to happen again, these friends would undoubtedly come to his aid without hesitation.

This isn't to say that dogs are more loyal than humans. After all, some dogs are timid. However, setting aside the differences in capabilities between dogs and humans, at a critical moment, dogs are often more reliable than people.

Humans, doesn't that sting?

Don't be discouraged; it just means we have higher intelligence, so it's only natural that we can't compare to the loyalty of animals.

Chen Nan still sent out these dogs to investigate the surroundings and report back to him.

Since the effective range of his mental communication was quite large, Chen Nan didn't need to meet them to receive their reports.

After receiving the information from the dogs, Chen Nan could generally confirm that the vicinity was relatively safe.

He also decided that from this moment on, he would never go out again.

This was because when he rented the apartment, Chen Nan had paid the landlord some extra money to get him two boxes of instant noodles.

In addition to that, there was also a box of eggs, canned ham, and apples.

The apples could be stored in the refrigerator, so they would last for a while at least.

As for the so-called "unhealthy" fake news about instant noodles, it had already disappeared on Earth.

On this planet, Kabudan, such a concept didn't even exist.

Chen Nan intended to sit tight and wait. It was just like:

The spider had already finished weaving its web; the fishing hook, baited with fragrant bait, had already been cast into the water. For what came next, it depended on fate and patience.
