Chapter 2:
But at this moment, a line of words suddenly popped up in Li Jiexuan's head:
Novice task (stage task): escape from the trash can.
Mission content: Because the black-hearted boss Tsuruta threw you into the trash can when you were little. The nights here are very cold. If you don't want to freeze to death, you'd better escape from the trash can within three hours!
Mission reward: Kunai Throwing (Basic).
Task time limit: three hours.
Escape from the trash can within three hours!
It sounds simple, but Li Jiexuan observed it carefully. This trash can is a big thing, two meters long and one meter high. The walls are smooth, and there is no support. With his height of less than half a meter, it is like a prison.
"Tsuruta?"
Li Jiexuan bent down and tried to search for something useful in the trash can.
"This really poses a big problem for me!" Li Jiexuan fumbled for a long time and only found a huge fish bone in the trash can.
There is no need to try...
The total weight of this fish bone plus my height is less than one meter.
"It seems that I can't escape by my own strength."
This was also the reason why Tsuruta left him here and left with peace of mind.
Li Jiexuan threw away the fish bone and sat down thinking. Saving his energy appropriately could allow him to last longer.
"In that case..."
Li Jiexuan reached out and opened the wooden treasure chest in the system.
I just hope I can find a tool that can help me escape from here. Unfortunately, things often go against my wishes...
The wooden treasure chest slowly opened, and a faint fluorescent light flashed.
The lowest level of treasure: (automatically recoverable space-time kunai)
Character: Li Jiexuan.
Item: Automatically recyclable space-time kunai (sharper than ordinary kunai, with the magical power of automatic recycling).
Chakra: None.
Ninjutsu: None.
Li Jiexuan held the kunai in his hand, which was glowing black, and sighed helplessly: "Although it is a good thing, it is of no help to the current situation..."
Although the kunai was sharp, Li Jiexuan's current strength was too weak. It was still too difficult to use the kunai to cut the thick iron plate.
More importantly, as time went by, Li Jiexuan's limbs were so cold that he could not muster any strength. Before he knew it, two hours had passed...
"That means, if I don't escape in the remaining hour, I will freeze to death!?"
At this point, Li Jiexuan no longer cared whether or not to attract Tsuruta's attention, and he hit the iron plate hard with his fist.
"Help! Help!"
In this situation, he could only hope that someone could hear him and rescue him.
"Bang, bang, bang…!"
The banging sound in the trash can in the quiet alley seemed a bit dull. Li Jiexuan tilted his head, raised his arms, and smashed against the hard iron plate again and again. The last hour had passed, but Li Jiexuan felt that he might not last more than three hours.
Although I tried my best to save my energy, calling for help was too tiring.
"Someone come quickly..."
Li Jiexuan felt the heat in his chest slowly fading away. The life of a one-year-old baby was so fragile, just like a poor stray cat. It wouldn't be long before he would be frozen into an ice stick and then dragged away by the garbage collectors and thrown into the blazing fire.
"Someone come, save me..."
Li Jiexuan raised his head desperately, and using up the last bit of his strength, he leaped forward and slammed hard onto the iron plate...
