"What?"
This was not a challenge from Xiao Jun, but from the other people on the second floor.
There were already eight people living on the second floor, and you wanted to bring another person in?
Even Xiao Jun himself didn't bring women in, and even Li Qianwan didn't get such treatment. You want to bring a woman in yourself?
Although everyone was clean and innocent now, the entire team had only one man, Xiao Jun, and they were all living on the second floor.
The little sisters had already tacitly accepted it.
Even they themselves had sometimes tacitly accepted it.
Adding someone else wouldn't be appropriate, would it?
"My teacher is very capable, a Ph.D. graduate from a prestigious university. She's only been teaching at our school for a few months."
The Little loli started arguing reasonably, hoping to allow her good friend and teacher to enjoy a better life.
After all, Xiao Jun wasn't as intimidating as the rumors suggested. At least now, with seven gorgeous beauties here, he had only slept with two of them.
"A female Ph.D.? Does she know any martial arts?"
Suddenly, Jing Ru chimed in without rhyme or reason.
"The adults are talking, kid. Go play elsewhere," Xiao Jun said to Jing Ru, then turned back to the Little loli.
"Since you praise her so highly, I want to see what kind of person she is."
The Little loli's insistence had piqued Xiao Jun's interest, so he decided to humor her.
This was the first time Xiao Jun had seen a living Ph.D. holder. He wanted to see if there really was such a big difference between them and ordinary people.
"Should I call her up now?"
The Little loli had complete confidence in her teacher. All she needed to do was let her come up and chat with Xiao Jun for a bit, and he would surely be impressed.
Xiao Jun nodded.
The Little loli scurried away with her short legs. The other girls also put down what they were doing, and even Jiang Yue took out a brand makeup box from her spatial storage and applied a light makeup.
Fully embodying women's competitive spirit.
Soon, the Little loli returned, followed by another woman.
Everyone's gaze went straight past the Little loli and toward this unfamiliar woman they were meeting for the first time.
Age, about twenty-five or twenty-six, not bad.
Height, over 165 cm, perfect.
Facial features, even though her face radiated weariness and she didn't wear any makeup, her beauty couldn't be concealed.
Figure, hmm, Xiao Jun nodded, she was well-endowed.
Now Xiao Jun had some respect for that little team leader. To be able to resist such a woman in the apocalypse, she must be a Virgo, striving for perfection.
But it wasn't like he didn't have options. He had several top-tier beauties at the same level, and even among the little sisters downstairs, there was no shortage of stunning beauties.
"Xiao Jun, this is my teacher, An Qingyu."
A nice name, adding a few points... Calculating it all together...
Xiao Jun stole a glance at Jiang Yue beside him.
"Hello everyone, I'm An Qingyu."
Her voice was crisp and straightforward. Even though she looked haggard now, her innate pride couldn't be concealed.
"Yunyun wants you to stay on the second floor, but not just anyone can come up here. What qualifications do you have that would make me grant an exception?"
Xiao Jun cut straight to the chase. If she had the ability, he would consider it. But if she only had her looks, there was already one utterly useless twin sister here whose only asset was her appearance.
An Qingyu's bright eyes blinked, but she didn't say anything.
"Alright, let me put it this way. You know about the zombie siege, right? What are your thoughts on it?"
She claimed to be a Ph.D. graduate student, so let her share her opinion and let him take a look.
[Heh, this team leader is no different from other men. He has so many women living upstairs, and as soon as I came in, he gave me a thorough once-over. He's no good man.]
[And he's testing me. Do you really think I'd share my thoughts on such a simple zombie siege?]
[To be honest, it's quite simple. Since we know when the siege will happen in advance, we just need to be willing to scatter flammable materials around the city perimeter and temporarily abandon those buildings. When the zombies attack, we can just set them on fire.]
[Moreover, we can set up some sharp objects and traps behind them. Since zombies lack intelligence, as long as we have time to prepare, dealing with them shouldn't be too difficult, right?]
[Besides that, we can also prepare some heavy objects in advance. For those low-level mutants, or even ordinary people, they can just drop heavy objects from tall buildings when the zombies arrive.]
[After all, zombies lack intelligence. As long as those people hide in tall buildings and ultimately win, there won't be any danger.]
[To think such simple solutions didn't occur to him, and he's testing me instead. I really don't know how he became the team leader.]
Xiao Jun's eyes grew brighter as he watched An Qingyu. This Ph.D. graduate student did have some ability.
It was also possible that it was easier said than done. Xiao Jun was in the thick of it, and had been focusing on the fifth-level zombies, which made him overlook these simple solutions.
"What if, and I mean if, there's an especially powerful zombie among them, maybe even a fifth-level zombie? How would you deal with that?"
Xiao Jun didn't care about the others' gazes and immediately asked another question.
"I don't know," An Qingyu replied simply and firmly.
"You..."
The twin sister Jing Ru was the first to step forward, but was immediately stopped by Xiao Jun.
An Qingyu said nothing, staring back at her indifferently.
[High-level zombies, in a large-scale battle like this, what use would one or two high-level ones be? At most, they could hide among the zombies and occasionally attack.]
[Following the previous methods, first eliminate a large number of low-level zombies to reduce their numbers. That would also remove the high-level zombie's natural cover.]
[As long as we can pinpoint its location, without any sense of honor, arrange a dozen or so Flame Humans to attack it indiscriminately and beat it to death.]
[Even if it manages to escape, the zombies around it would have been mostly burned away, right? At that point, we can use the pile of corpses, and with a few team leaders launching sneak attacks, it would be easy.]
[I don't know how this group became team leaders. They're so scared of a mindless species attacking the city that they're acting like it's the end of the world.]
Xiao Jun was at a bit of a loss for words.
If we followed her suggestions, the zombie siege would just be them delivering mutation crystals to us?
[However, we can't underestimate them either. Faced with such a sudden crisis, everyone would surely panic and scatter. If we're not prepared in advance and humans can't unite, these low-intelligence creatures could really wipe us out.]
A sudden crisis, that was the key point.
In the previous life's zombie siege, the greatest casualties occurred in the first hour or two. After the surviving humans united and began counterattacking, they managed to overcome that crisis as well.
But now, everyone was prepared. Thinking about it this way, there was indeed no need to be so afraid.
Xiao Jun nodded pensively.
Beside him, the Little loli's face had turned green. How could her teacher be so stubborn? When she came, she had told the Little loli a lot about this incident, but now she wouldn't say a word.
Just as the Little loli thought Xiao Jun would get angry, he actually laughed instead.
"You can stay on the second floor and share a room with Yunyun."
Jiang Yue had already moved into Xiao Jun's room, and Yunyun had been sleeping alone. This was one of the reasons why she wanted An Qingyu to move in.
[This team leader is just another old lecher.]
Xiao Jun clenched his fists. Never mind, I'll let it go.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
e vast world of cultivation, where he becomes the master of the Heavenly Ruins Sacred Hall, a dying old man with barely a tenth of his former cultivation remaining. He is immediately confronted with a deadly crisis: his subordinates have rebelled, and his protectors are forcing him to abdicate. At the critical moment, the system descends from the heavens: [Ding! The host has been detected facing a life-or-death crisis. The system is now officially activated!] [As a gift, you have received the Supreme Beginner’s Pack and awakened the ultimate cheat: ten thousand years of pure cultivation essence every second!] Yin Tianjue: “Wait… ten thousand years of cultivation every second? That’s six hundred thousand years a minute, and in one day… I can’t even calculate it. Either way, I’m already invincible!” You’re a peerless prodigy rarely seen in ten thousand years? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re an undying ancestor who has guarded a sacred land for countless ages? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. You’re the strongest chosen one, blessed with heaven-defying destiny? Sorry, I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. From this day forth, I have only one thing to say: “I gain ten thousand years of cultivation every second. Now, how exactly are you supposed to deal with that?”
ions, keeping it grounded and realistic】 After quitting his job, office worker Su Yang accidentally binds with the "Enjoy Life System."
