“Zixi, wake up! It’s our turn to keep watch!” Han Shuo called out to the woman who was sleeping soundly. Her name was Bai Zixi.
Bai Zixi slowly opened her eyes, still half-asleep. Seeing the unfamiliar surroundings and the strange man in front of her, she thought she was having some kind of bizarre dream. She rubbed her eyes.
But when she noticed the small, tanned hand in front of her, her eyes widened in shock. She let out a startled scream and sat upright, staring down at her own hands in disbelief.
What was going on?
Han Shuo hurriedly stepped forward to stop her.
“Keep your voice down! The boss will scold you again if he hears you!”
Seeing how frightened she looked, as though she had just woken from a nightmare, he sighed helplessly and added, “If you’re not feeling well, you can rest a little longer. I’ll go keep watch first.”
After he left, Bai Zixi immediately got up and rushed into the bathroom. The moment she saw the unfamiliar woman reflected in the mirror, she completely lost her composure!
Was this gorgeous, striking woman really her?
Had she transmigrated?!
Just then, a mechanical voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.
[Congratulations, Host! You have successfully bound to the White Lotus System. You have received a beginner’s gift package. Would you like to open it?]
“W-Who are you?” Bai Zixi was startled by the sudden voice. Why had so many strange things happened today?
The boyish mechanical voice of 008 sounded again.
“Host, I am your system, 008.”
After listening to 008 explain the bizarre circumstances of her transmigration into a novel, Bai Zixi still found it difficult to accept.
She, a small-time internet influencer, had actually died from staying up too late?!
And now she had transmigrated into an apocalyptic novel she had read before, Apocalypse: My Special Forces Brother Is Quite Fierce, becoming a supporting female character who happened to share her name.
Although the original Bai Zixi was exceptionally beautiful, with striking features, she stood 168 centimeters tall and had a curvaceous figure. Unfortunately, her skin was rather dark, and her hands were covered in calluses.
As a girl who took great pride in her appearance, how could she possibly tolerate having such dark skin?!
This was the price of serving as a special forces soldier.
In this novel, Bai Zixi was one of the subordinates of the male protagonist, Yan Shaoyu, and had secretly been in love with him for a long time.
At present, she was on a mission with the team in Black City. It was the second day since the apocalypse crisis had erupted, and they had been forced to take shelter inside an apartment in a residential complex.
During this period, the male protagonist would awaken his fire-type supernatural ability and lead her and the other team members in escaping Black City.
Along the way, they would encounter the sweet and delicate female protagonist, Lin Jiao, a girl who looked so innocent and vulnerable that anyone could easily take advantage of her. Her scumbag boyfriend would sell her off to Yan Shaoyu.
As the journey continued, sparks would fly between the two, and they would gradually fall in love.
Meanwhile, the supporting female character, Bai Zixi, would repeatedly make things difficult for Lin Jiao. Eventually, Yan Shaoyu would discover her schemes and kick her out of the team.
And after that?
Well, Bai Zixi had dropped the novel before reaching that part.
She had originally started reading it simply because the supporting female character shared her name. Once her character no longer appeared in the story, she had lost interest and stopped reading.
Bai Zixi sighed before turning her attention to the White Lotus System.
The system worked by allowing her to earn Favorability Points and Dislike Points through acting like a white lotus. These points could then be converted into system points, which she could use to exchange for items in the system’s shop.
This cheat ability was practically tailor-made for her!
As a small-time internet influencer, she was vain and materialistic. She loved money, dressing up, looking beautiful, handsome men, and enjoying a luxurious lifestyle. She was also accustomed to putting on a fake, innocent facade whenever she interacted with others.
But if she wanted to stay beautiful in the apocalypse, she first needed enough strength to survive!
“008, open the beginner’s gift package.”
Having quickly adapted to her new circumstances, Bai Zixi began communicating with the system through her thoughts.
008’s mechanical voice replied:
[All right! The beginner’s gift package has been opened. Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a 50-square-meter storage space with a height of five meters. It can only store inanimate objects. You have also received one box of skin-whitening pills.]
Bai Zixi was delighted.
She immediately took the box of whitening pills out of her spatial storage and examined the instructions printed on the packaging.
One pill per day.
Her skin would gradually become fairer and smoother, and after ten days, it would become so radiant that it would practically glow!
Bai Zixi happily swallowed one whitening pill. After finishing her quick wash-up, she walked out of the bathroom.
