The System Mall came with its own wireless storage space for keeping items, and anything placed inside would never spoil.
She spent 1 Opportunity Point to exchange for seven days’ worth of food.
Roast chicken, egg fried rice, trotter soup, sweet and sour ribs, roast duck…
She could take out any of these foods at any time to fill her stomach.
She glanced at the bracelet on her wrist. “Doesn’t this bracelet just become a chicken rib now?”
[Host, with this System, that bracelet is nothing but a useless ornament. The System can recycle it and convert it into Opportunity Points for you.]
“This bracelet can be exchanged for Opportunity Points too?”
[The material of this bracelet is mediocre, so it can only be converted into 10 Opportunity Points. Host, do you agree to let the System recycle this spatial jade bracelet?]
“Agreed!”
With the remaining 10.9 Opportunity Points in her account, she immediately spent 10 Opportunity Points to exchange for a Detoxification Pill.
This was a life-saving item, so she had to prepare it in advance.
Since both the Providence Quest and the target of her seduction were meant to seize the Heavenly Providence that belonged to the female lead, Xu Qingtian, in this world…
Then she could simply use the contents of the book to lie in ambush and intercept the female lead at every location where she was supposed to obtain providence.
“System, what’s the next quest?”
[Host, it is now one month into the Apocalypse. After the female lead, Xu Qingtian, and her group evade this Zombie Horde, they will set out for the Linjiang City Safe Base.]
“Linjiang City Safe Base? I remember this part of the plot in the book. The female lead will run into Ouyang Huiye on the way.”
Ouyang Huiye was the biggest male villain in this book. In the story, he was the leader of an international mercenary group—gloomy, cold-blooded, and a killer who didn’t blink an eye.
After being saved by the female lead, he developed feelings for her because of her attentive care. Through the female lead’s constant feigning of weakness and manipulation, he became the sharpest blade in her hand.
To win the female lead’s approval and affection, he stopped at nothing and had no bottom line whatsoever.
In the end, however, after the female lead was bitten by a zombie, he voluntarily became the final-stage Experimental Subject of the male lead’s virus experiment in order to save her. He underwent the last live experiment and exploded on the spot, turning into a pool of blood.
The male lead extracted the final virus-suppressing agent from that pool of blood and successfully saved the female lead.
After being rescued, the female lead didn’t utter a single word of gratitude. Instead, she credited all the merit to the male lead.
When she had been reading the book back then, she had felt that although this villain was evil, he had cast aside even his own life for the female lead—that was absolutely true love.
[That’s right! Host, your next quest is to seduce the biggest male villain in this book, Ouyang Huiye.
However, the seduction quest can only be triggered in a specific scenario. Please make your way to Ouyang Huiye’s current location to activate the quest.
A friendly reminder: Ouyang Huiye is withdrawn, brutal, and bloodthirsty. He is an extremely dangerous individual and very difficult to win over. Please proceed with caution.]
“System, is there a time limit for the seduction quest? If I fail, you’re not going to erase me again, are you?”
[The seduction quest has no time limit. Please rest assured and proceed.]
“That’s good. Help me check Ouyang Huiye’s current location.”
[Ding! I have locked onto Ouyang Huiye’s location for you. Host, you can pull up the map. The green dot is your current location, and the red dot is Ouyang Huiye.]
A translucent map navigation appeared in the void, with a directional arrow on the green dot pointing toward the direction she was facing.
“This navigation feature is really handy. Let’s go—while the female lead and her group are surrounded by the zombie horde, we’ll get to Ouyang Huiye first and take him down!”
By the cross-sea bridge in the neighboring province, abandoned cars were scattered in disarray, emitting black smoke as if they could explode at any moment.
It was late at night, and zombies were more active than during the day, with a keener sense of smell for human scent.
In the darkness, a flash of silver-white blade light swept through. Hua Wuyan repeated the motions of drawing and sheathing her blade with a blank expression.
Her movements were fluid and seamless as she reaped zombie after zombie.
With just a twist of her blade tip lodged in a zombie’s head, she could tell whether there was a Crystal Core inside.
“This one doesn’t have a Crystal Core either! System, I’ve been killing my way here from the school—at least four or five hundred zombies by now—but I’ve only got a little over fifty Crystal Cores.”
Although those fifty Crystal Cores had already strengthened her physique and five senses, her current physical condition could handle up to fifty zombies at once without issue.
But that was far from enough for her.
Being able to draw spiritual energy into her body to strengthen it at most put her at Mid-stage Qi Condensation. She still needed to unblock the meridians in her body to reach Late-stage Qi Condensation.
Only at the Great Perfection of the Qi Condensation Stage could she activate her Wind-Moon Sect’s Yin-Yang Harmony Art.
Calculating it all out, she would need at least a thousand or more Crystal Cores.
【Host, don’t complain. According to the System’s detection, Ouyang Huiye is nearby.】
“Alright, I still need to clear out the surrounding zombies first. I don’t want to be surrounded by zombies while trying to save someone.”
Just as she killed the last zombie and finally dug out another Crystal Core, about to absorb it, footsteps echoed across the cross-sea bridge.
“Ouyang Huiye, your life is mine!”
The footsteps drew closer, and a tall figure covered in blood staggered toward her from the dim bridge.
【Ding! Detected a target approaching. The seduction mission has been activated.】
【Host, this is your chance! This blood-soaked man is Ouyang Huiye.】
The leader of the group chasing behind him held a gun, and the dozen or so people behind him each carried weapons like knives, clubs, and staffs.
After they chased Ouyang Huiye across the bridge, they suddenly spotted a delicate-looking young woman ahead, holding a long blade as she split open a zombie’s head and dug out the Crystal Core inside.
“Little girl, the Blood Wolf Gang is handling business here. If you know what’s good for you, leave the Crystal Core and get lost. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being rude.”
【Host, be careful. A Mid-stage Qi Condensation body can’t withstand bullets.】
“I know what I’m doing.”
Hua Wuyan used the tip of her foot to flip over the man who had collapsed at her feet.
“So this is Ouyang Huiye?”
【Yes, Host! The seduction mission has been activated.】
【Target: Ouyang Huiye. Gender: Male. Age: 24. Height: 186 cm. Weight: 73 kg. Beginner Stage Dark-type Ability User. Favorability Rating toward the host: 0.
Host, the seduction mission will only be considered complete once the target’s favorability rating toward you reaches 100%. At that point, the System will reward you with 1,000 opportunity points.】
“One thousand opportunity points? That’s a jackpot! What are we waiting for? Start the mission right now!”
【Got it! The seduction mission has been initiated. From this moment on, every word and action of yours will affect Ouyang Huiye’s favorability rating toward you.】
“Never betray?” Interesting.
What’s the difference between that and having a loyal little dog?
His body was caked in blood, his light gray clothes and combat pants clinging to the curves of his form, outlining every line of muscle clearly.
Broad shoulders, lean muscle, mantis-like legs, and a narrow waist. Even the blood seeping from him carried the essence of pure yang energy.
What a perfect Cultivation Cauldron for Dual Cultivation.
Ouyang Huiye’s blood-crusted eyes cracked open a slit, gazing at the frail girl looking down at him. His voice carried no hope as he spoke.
“Heh, trying to save me?”
His voice was weak yet tinged with a haunting gloom, and his gaze held a hint of contemptuous disdain.
[Ding! Ouyang Huiye’s Favorability Rating toward the Host: -10.]
