Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

After being yelled at by Bruce, the people realized that they had to RUN!!!

They would be in serious trouble if any of them hesitated.

Aurora was quick to react — along with the community workers — they evacuated the neighbors from the building

“Bruce, let’s go!”

Annie tugged on Bruce, planning to make a run for it.

But Bruce stood still.

“Hurry up and go with them. There’s no time to explain. I promise I’ll get out!”

In the middle of that conversation, Bruce broke off Annie’s grip. He gave her a wet towel and let her out the door.

Looking at her eyes that were filled with reluctance, Bruce immediately closed the door.

The smoke remained outside.

Bruce looked out the window to check the situation.

“Is that even the fifth floor?”

The raging fire left the fifth floor with close to nothing but ashes.

If this went on, the fire would reach downstairs in the next ten minutes. Right now, Bruce had to think of a way to prevent the fire from reaching his apartment.

“Bruce!!! What are you doing? Come down quick! The fire has already reached the ground floor.”

By that time, Annie and the rest of the group had already run downstairs. They saw Bruce leaning against the window, completely unconcerned.

“Mr. Bruce! What are you doing?! Don’t jump! We’ll help you get out!”

“Don’t give up! Leave the fire to the fire department. Don’t stay in there any longer. Just come down quick!”

“We are your neighbors! We can’t bear to see you give your life away just like that! We promise that there is a better life waiting for you! Please don’t jump!”

“I can’t look anymore. What in the world is Bruce thinking about…”

The neighbors and community workers saw Bruce leaning against the window. They all thought that he was going to end his life.

Some of them even wondered if he was going to rush into the raging fire!

However, Bruce simply ignored them.

Or in other words, he didn’t have time to pay any attention to them.

Even though the fire was growing, it was impossible that Bruce would want to leave the house.

With the system in place, it was clear to Bruce that the reward was more important than spending the free time he was rewarded.

He knew that as long as he survived this fire crisis, he would definitely be rewarded with tons of points.

So he did not hesitate and returned to his apartment.

He opened all the windows in the living room, bathroom, and dining room. The smoke had settled.

Due to the Breath-holding Mobility skill, he wasn’t highly affected.

The key problem was the bedroom.

He dared not open the door because if he did, even the slightest breeze would cause sparks of fire to ignite. Then there would certainly be no way to put out the fire.

All he had to do was to stop a second fire from happening and find a way to put out the fire in the bedroom.

Easier said than done.

The temperature in the room was rising to the point that the bedroom might explode.

Bruce’s body was getting hot and he started sweating profusely.

At that moment, the first thing he could think of was water!

He turned on all the faucets in the house to lower the temperature, and to stop the fire from spreading.

At the same time, the fire sirens were ringing the whole neighborhood.

After the firemen got off the firetruck, their eyes were filled with shock.

“Why didn’t any of you notice this fire before?!”

“The fire’s too big. There’s no way to put it out in short notice”

When the fire captain coordinated with Aurora, a questioning took place.

“Usually, a report would have been made if there was even the slightest sign of a fire. Now, the entire fifth floor was on the verge of being burnt to a crisp.”

“And no one thought to call the authorities?”

“This is ridiculous!” The fire captain exclaimed.

“I’m very sorry. A party was held by the community today, so no one noticed the problem. It was only after Mr. Bruce smelled smoke that we discovered the fire.”

Aurora blamed herself. Personally, she thought that if she had found out about the fire earlier, the residents on the fifth floor wouldn’t have to lose their property.

But words are useless now.

What has happened, happened.

“So the one who knows the whole situation is Bruce? Where is he now?” The fire captain asked.

“We need his help to come up with a plan while putting out the fire”

Aurora was stunned as she suddenly remembered Bruce’s situation and immediately said, “Mr. Bruce is still in his apartment on the fourth floor. Please save him. I think that he might have suicidal thoughts.”

“You should have led with that!” As he said that, the fire captain commanded the firemen, “There’s someone who needs rescue on the fourth floor. When you go up to put out the fire, bring him down immediately!”

“If there’s anything else, we’ll talk about it later.”

After speaking to Aurora, the fire captain turned around and shouted, “Let’s get to work! One person to rescue! Good luck everyone!”

“Yes!” The firemen shouted in unison.

Their fire-fighting plan began.

..

At the same time, on Bruce’s side.

The black cloud of smoke in the bedroom was getting bigger and bigger. If he didn’t make a decision now, Bruce’s house would go up in flames in next few minutes.

The only way he could solve this problem was through the mall.

“Ding! Congratulations, host, you have leveled up to level 3.”

Host: Bruce

Otaku level: 3 (0/10000)

Points: 9

Strength: 11.2 (growth rate: 0.3/hour)

Agility:

Vitality:

Spirit:

Skills: Eye of Truth (demigod, proficiency 20/10000), Breath-holding mobility (beginner, proficiency 30/1000) , Beginner Recovery (beginner, proficiency 60/300).

Free Time: 3 hours

At that time, the notification sound of leveling up appeared in Bruce’s mind.

The level up was useful because he felt his strength increase again.

This would surely help him face the fire.

In that moment, Bruce fell into a short period of contemplation once again as he looked at the 9 points he possessed.

He regretted redeeming the double bed before all this happened.

‘Why waste points on things that could be bought with money?’

Hence, he started becoming cautious.

But he knew that if he did not use the points to redeem life-saving items, everything would be too late.

Having made a decision, Bruce immediately looked up items that could be redeemed with 1 point.

Finally, he came to a conclusion!
