"Hey, Captain Xiao Jun, we meet again. No wonder I felt a surge of excitement when I stepped out—it turns out I was about to run into you."
Lone Wolf had a constipated expression on his face, which quickly turned into a spring breeze. Such a person would have been a shame not to become an actor.
[Oh no, not this killing machine again. Whenever I run into him, it's always trouble.]
Xiao Jun had been about to leave, but upon hearing this, he turned around and walked over.
"Captain Lone Wolf, long time no see."
Lone Wolf felt even more uncomfortable. This thousand-blade butcher was just about to leave, so why did he come back? Yet he still had to force a smile.
"Captain Xiao, you must be busy. We'll have plenty of opportunities to meet."
Watching Xiao Jun inch closer, Lone Wolf felt utterly miserable, like he had eaten feces, but he couldn't say anything.
After the previous incident, everyone in the group knew that their captain and Xiao Jun were like brothers, close pals. Of course, none of them would try to stop him.
Xiao Jun effortlessly approached Lone Wolf and casually put his arm around his shoulder.
"Busy with what? I'm completely free. Brother, what were you up to?"
At this hour, what else could he be doing but going to raid the supply drop crates?
Lone Wolf thought disdainfully, this guy must be up to no good.
"Nothing much, just taking the brothers out for a stroll to enjoy the nice weather and take in the sights of Future City."
Xiao Jun almost burst out laughing. This guy really had a knack for talking nonsense with a straight face.
"I heard the Lone Wolf Group has grown quite powerful, almost rivaling Future City itself. Who knows, maybe one day I'll have to rely on your protection, brother."
Since he liked to play-act, Xiao Jun didn't mind humoring him. After all, he wasn't worried about wasting time.
What's more, Jiang Yue and the others were likely raiding the supply drops as well, so this was indirectly eliminating an enemy.
"Sure, sure, I'll definitely protect you when the time comes. But for now, brother, I have some business to attend to. Maybe we can catch up another time?"
Lone Wolf couldn't take it anymore. The supply drops had already landed, and every minute wasted was resources lost.
The Lone Wolf Group had grown significantly larger, and all those new members needed resources to sustain them.
"Or, why don't we grab a couple drinks right now? Consider it an early celebration for the Lone Wolf Group."
"Screw off, Xiao Jun. What do you really want?"
If he kept beating around the bush, the entire day would be wasted. Lone Wolf finally couldn't hold back any longer.
"Nothing, just wanted to sell you some information that could impact the future of the Lone Wolf Group."
Lone Wolf was about to lash out when Xiao Jun applied subtle pressure with his hand, immobilizing him.
"I just sold this very piece of information to Chen Gang, the leader of Future City, for a whopping fifty third-tier mutant crystals."
"But since we're brothers, I'll only charge you thirty. What do you say?"
Lone Wolf wanted to curse him out, but mindful of the weight on his shoulder, he held his tongue.
"Trust me, this information is worth every crystal. Even Chen Gang bought it for fifty—you know I'm not lying, right?"
Lone Wolf hesitated.
Xiao Jun did come from the direction of Future City, and it was still early. Unless something major happened, he shouldn't have visited Future City this soon.
Could it be that he wasn't actually lying?
To give or not to give thirty third-tier mutant crystals?
If he didn't, this Xiao would likely keep stalling him.
Lone Wolf started wavering, epitomizing his indecisive nature.
"How about this? I'll tell you the information first. I'm not worried you'll welch on the payment—you know the consequences if you do."
The zombie siege was a big deal. Uniting all human forces would give them a better chance of survival. Although Lone Wolf harbored some resentment toward him, now wasn't the time to settle scores.
Moreover, by tonight at the latest, Chen Gang would disseminate this information to the major groups, the Lone Wolf Group being one of them.
He might as well sell the information to Lone Wolf now and make some quick crystals while he's at it.
Whether Lone Wolf agreed or not, Xiao Jun blurted out the news about the imminent fifth-tier zombie siege.
At first, Lone Wolf listened begrudgingly, but as Xiao Jun continued, his demeanor changed, and he began paying close attention.
"Well? Did I lie to you? Just say if it's worth thirty third-tier mutant crystals or not."
Lone Wolf remained lost in thought after Xiao Jun's revelation, staying silent for a long while.
Xiao Jun didn't rush him. He had already shared the information, so Lone Wolf would have to pay up one way or another.
After a prolonged silence, Lone Wolf finally took out thirty third-tier mutant crystals and said earnestly, "If it's true, then this information is definitely worth the price."
"But could you maybe try fleecing someone else? I've been shorn clean."
With that, Lone Wolf left with his men. Xiao Jun didn't stop them.
The weather today was indeed nice. Not only did he get to relax his usually heavy mood, but he also pocketed thirty free mutant crystals.
That afternoon.
News suddenly spread from the major groups in Future City that a massive zombie horde would lay siege to the city in three days.
This information spread through Future City like wildfire, reaching every corner instantly.
At the same time, elite forces from all the major groups mobilized to maintain order within the city.
Xiao Jun didn't receive this news because he was taking an afternoon nap.
However, Jiang Yue participated in the operation on his behalf.
This was no longer just a personal matter but rather the survival of all humans in Future City.
Only by uniting all available forces could they overcome this crisis.
"Any issues with our group?"
Second floor.
Jiang Yue faced Little loli.
"Sister Yue, don't worry. Since the reason for the fifth-tier zombies hasn't been disclosed, everyone's actually quite optimistic."
Not just Xiao Jun's group, but most people in Future City shared a similar mindset.
Far from chaos, many even looked forward to the siege.
A zombie siege? It's just a few more zombies, right? They already dropped from the sky daily in droves. Everyone was used to killing tens of thousands of them.
Some even anticipated it, seeing it as a chance to level up and acquire more mutant crystals. If too few zombies came during the siege, there might not be enough for everyone to share.
This was a misconception created by Xiao Jun.
In the previous world, the zombie siege started with three hundred thousand undead, but Future City's total population back then was only a few hundred thousand.
In this world, for various reasons, not only had everyone's leveling speed increased, but the number of survivors was also much higher.
Consequently, this zombie siege would completely exceed Xiao Jun's expectations, potentially reaching millions of undead.
e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
