Ning Yu ignored her complaints and opened the colorless, transparent liquid labeled with her name.
She drank it.
Hmm... what a strange taste.
The liquid was somewhat thick, like drinking glue, but it really had no taste. However, once it reached her stomach, it started to feel warm.
[Ding! You have consumed a low-grade T-virus enhancement potion]
[Awarding 1 random attribute point]
[You gained: Mental +1]
Wow, nice! Getting attribute points directly like this is pretty good.
The system notification rang in Ning Yu's mind, and she checked her current attributes:
Physical 12, Mental 11, Charm 11.
Hmm, very balanced stats.
Beside her, Shen Yiyue, seeing that Ning Yu had finished drinking, curiously asked:
"How is it, Yu... what does it taste like?"
Ning Yu turned her head and casually lied:
"It's delicious, tastes like fruit."
"Yu... you didn't even try to make that lie believable. How could anything extracted from zombies taste like fruit?"
Shen Yiyue narrowed her eyes and pursed her lips, wearing an expression that clearly said "I don't believe you at all."
Ning Yu picked up the colorless, transparent liquid meant for Shen Yiyue and said with a gentle smile:
"Would you prefer to drink it yourself, or should I help you drink it?"
Shen Yiyue, seeing Ning Yu's familiar "I'm not really a demon" expression, remembered the time when Ning Yu force-fed her the Mary Sue liquid.
With a shudder, she quickly took the low-grade T-virus enhancement potion from Ning Yu's hand.
Pinching her nose, she downed it in one go, as if heroically drinking bitter medicine, gulping it down quickly.
"Wow... this tastes awful. Not only is it tasteless, but it's as sticky as glue."
She had just finished drinking, her eyes and eyebrows all scrunched together, looking like a distressed elderly person with a smartphone.
Ning Yu nodded with satisfaction - at least this time she didn't have to force it down herself.
"How do you feel?"
Like last time, Shen Yiyue stood up wanting to move around, but couldn't feel anything different:
"I... I don't feel anything... not as strong as last time?"
Could it be that one attribute point was too small to notice? Or maybe it went to charm?
Ning Yu wasn't sure if people without the system even had charm attributes.
She moved closer to Shen Yiyue, staring at her face, trying to see if her skin had become fairer or her features more attractive.
Though she was already quite beautiful to begin with, making it hard to notice any changes.
"Yu... what are you doing?"
Shen Yiyue became flustered when Ning Yu suddenly came close and stared at her:
What's going on? Is she going to forcefully kiss me??
After examining her for a while longer, Ning Yu couldn't see any changes, so she gave up on the idea.
They'd have to wait and see what effects the medium-grade golden T-virus enhancement potion would have once it was purified.
When Ning Yu finally pulled back from her close inspection, she suddenly noticed that Shen Yiyue's face had turned red at some point.
She was staring blankly at Ning Yu, like a girl who had just been confessed to.
?
Why is she blushing? Is she feeling energized?
Giving her a puzzled look, Ning Yu lay back down on the sofa.
Neither of them noticed that the bag of chips next to Shen Yiyue had slightly shifted position.
Ning Yu began examining the unpurified T-virus serums again.
She couldn't really see any difference between them, and wondered what would happen if she drank the unpurified version?
After thinking for a while, Ning Yu decided to abandon this idea - these still needed to be given to Lin Hao for research and purification.
So she put away the unpurified serums.
"Sisters... can I come out now?"
Shen Qianqian opened a small crack in her bedroom door and asked quietly.
Her two sisters had sent her back to her room - were they doing something that children weren't supposed to see?
How could she miss out on that?
"You can come out now."
Both of them had finished taking the serum without any issues, so Shen Qianqian could come out now.
Ning Yu answered before Shen Yiyue could.
Shen Qianqian zoomed out of her room, only to see both sisters still sitting close together on the sofa, unchanged from before.
She showed a disappointed expression.
"By the way, we can't keep eating snacks all the time."
Ning Yu suddenly turned to the still-dazed Shen Yiyue and said,
"How about I cook for us in a few days?"
"Wow! Sister Ning Yu, you can cook?"
Shen Qianqian, who had already heard Ning Yu's words, happily ran over.
"Hmph, Yu's cooking is delicious!"
Shen Yiyue, finally snapping out of her daze at Ning Yu's words, proudly declared, seeming to show off a bit.
Even though she wasn't the one who could cook...
"Yay!!"
This time the "yay" came not from Shen Yiyue, but from Shen Qianqian.
Ning Yu looked at Shen Qianqian: apparently "yay" was hereditary - the two sisters looked incredibly alike when they said it.
"Unlike my sister, who only knows how to poison us."
At this point, Shen Qianqian glanced contemptuously at her sister, mercilessly mocking her.
"Pfft!"
Ning Yu couldn't hold back and burst out laughing, joining the merciless mockery.
"What... I just have room for improvement, okay?!"
Shen Yiyue tried to defend herself, then turned to look at her sister with "kind" eyes:
"Qian~~qian~~"
"Oh, time to run!"
Shen Qianqian immediately made her escape.
"Stop right there!!"
......
A few days later.
Ning Yu contacted Lin Hao through special means, and they met secretly in an empty apartment.
She handed him two bottles of low-grade and two bottles of medium-grade preliminarily purified T-virus serum.
"Amazing... as expected of you, getting this much in such a short time, and it seems some have an even higher mutation rate."
Lin Hao took the four bottles of serum from Ning Yu with surprise.
A few months ago when Ning Yu saved his life, he had sensed she was extraordinary.
He hadn't expected that just a few days after arriving at the base, she would bring this much serum.
"Is this enough?"
Ning Yu asked.
"It's enough for now, and with these evolved versions, I might be able to get more information from them."
Lin Hao shook the two bottles of golden liquid and nodded.
"After I analyze them and purify them further, I'll give them to you, though it might take some time."
"That's fine."
Ning Yu nodded, not in a hurry. She was also very curious about the T-virus.
"These days I've made some progress researching the low-grade virus, I should be close to decoding that metadata sequence. I'm still trying to guess its format."
"I'll contact you as soon as there's progress."
Lin Hao put away the four bottles and gave Ning Yu some good news.
Ning Yu nodded to show she understood, then added:
"By the way, there's one more thing I need to ask of you."
villain is the number one simp for the book's leading female protagonist, Shen Wan'er. As expected, he later becomes a tool for the main character to show off and slap faces, ultimately meeting a tragic end with his family ruined and his life in shambles. Fortunately, he awakens the [Universal Pure Love System], which allows him to earn points by performing acts of pure love. To change his fate, Gu Yan makes a decisive choice to seek warmth and companionship with the book's biggest villain—Cold Qingqiu. ........... My name is Leng Qingqiu. To find the murderer who killed my parents years ago, I deliberately blinded myself so that everyone would lower their guard around me. Just as I was secretly accumulating power and capital according to my initial plan, a man walked into my world. "Lengleng, Qingqing, Qiuqiu, which nickname do you prefer?" I don't like any of them. You'd better leave quickly! "Why aren't you saying anything? How about I call you my baby wife?" Leng Qingqiu thinks to herself, this man is truly annoying!

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.
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)
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
