"Do you know any place nearby to buy groceries?"
Ning Yu put down her book and asked.
"Grocery store?"
Shen Yiyue showed a puzzled expression and opened another bag of potato chips.
"Yes, preferably somewhere that sells both meat and vegetables."
Ning Yu added.
"Uh...I think there's a fresh produce store at the end of the street, two blocks away. I passed by it when I was going to school."
Shen Yiyue mumbled her reply while munching on potato chips.
Seeing Shen Yiyue still eating potato chips, Ning Yu felt she must have used a lot of energy during the day.
Or is she just a snack lover?
Soon after, Shen Yiyue grabbed a chilled bottle of peach soda.
She uncapped and took a long swallow, letting out a satisfied sigh.
That uniquely satisfying joy of carbonated drinks that only a true foodie would understand.
Well, confirmed, she's really a food lover.
Ning Yu marvelled at how Shen Yiyue maintained her petite figure, when anyone else eating like this would have turned into a tank long ago.
On a cynical note, Ning Yu continued to ask:
"How can I get there? I plan to go tomorrow to take a look at what they have."
Shen Yiyue was startled and asked in surprise:
"Ning Yu...do you cook?"
She looked at Ning Yu and simply could not believe it.
This little girl was already powerful enough to fight, and she could cook as well?
Actually, Shen Yiyue was also a wonderful cook with unparalleled culinary skills.
Her family praised her cooking, always saying: "It's very good. Please, don't trouble yourself next time."
"Yeah, a little bit."
Ning Yu lightly nodded and continued:
"Can you show me where it is? I want to bring back some ingredients, especially meat. You will need the nutrition for your training."
"Yes!!!"
Shen Yiyue jumped up from her chair like a child, instantaneously abandoning her slouched posture.
Her beautiful almond-shaped eyes sparkled with excitement.
Seems like she had been deprived of meat for far too long.
She hastily grabbed a pen and paper and began to show Ning Yu her 'soul-drawing' skills:
"Look...this is our supermarket..."
Shen Yiyue leaned into Ning Yu, pressing her soft body against Ning Yu's shoulder and arm.
She just took a bath and the fresh scent of shower gel mixed with the youthful scent of the girl went straight into Ning Yu's nose.
Added with the soft touch from her arm and shoulder.
She lost her focus for a moment.
The Ning Yu from her previous life had lost her parents at a young age and was taken in by an organization for training.
She only interacted with two kinds of people: those she had killed and her superiors from the organization.
Apart from that, Ning Yu spent her time in solitude.
Never had she been so relaxed and close to another girl like today.
Now that she has transferred into the body of a young girl, Shen Yiyue lowered her guard around her completely.
It was not a good idea to remind her either…
"Ning Yu, Ning Yu, are you listening?"
Seeing Ning Yu in a daze, Shen Yiyue waved her pen in front of her.
Ning Yu immediately came back to her senses:
"Uh, yeah, I'm listening."
Shen Yiyue didn’t think much of it, and continued drawing directions to the fresh produce store.
After getting the location of the fresh grocery store, Ning Yu went back to reading.
Shen Yiyue just picked up a few magazines to kill time.
When night fell, Ning Yu put down "The Stranger" that she was reading.
She wished Shen Yiyue goodnight and went to rest.
Just as Shen Yiyue was about to sleep, her eyes caught the mysterious "The Stranger" on the table.
She hesitated for a moment then quietly picked it up.
She was curious about what kind of book the little girl Ning Yu was reading?
The first line of the book, which was as shocking as a lightning bolt, read:
"Today, Mom died. Maybe it was yesterday, I don't quite remember."
Shen Yiyue roughly thought: This protagonist is really a great filial son.
After flipping through a few pages, she yawned and went back to her room to sleep.
......
The next day, Ning Yu was preparing to head for the fresh grocery store.
Before leaving, she told Shen Yiyue:
"If I don't return by this afternoon, just continue your training as before."
"I'll do my best!"
Shen Yiyue looked forward to Ning Yu's exploration.
Ning Yu was very familiar with the path, she exited via the backyard and left the supermarket.
She hadn’t gotten far when she heard a pleasant system prompt:
【Ding! This week’s special sale has been refreshed!】
Ning Yu's heart leapt with joy, she quickly looked around to ensure she did not attract any zombies' attention.
She immediately summoned the system panel and opened the 【Week’s Special Sale】.
Inside was a crimson Tang blade, emitting a cold light:
【Crimson War Blade (Enchanted): Original points*15000】
【Current Price: points*3000, Discount：2 fold】
Ning Yu paused, what does the enchantment mean? She immediately checked the weapon's details:
【Crimson War Blade: A famous blade that cuts through everything, created by a master craftsman.】
【Enchanted (Battle Intent): Gives the user +1 Physical and +1 Mental attributes when equipped with this weapon.】
This weapon could instantly add the necessary attribute points during a battle.
And the original price was 15000, now it was on 2 fold discount!
Ning Yu glanced at her points, 2735, just a tiny bit short.
The 【Week's Special Sale】would last a week, she could just kill some zombies today to make up for it.
This blade was clearly not ordinary — she had to get it.
With that in mind, Ning Yu followed the map Shen Yiyue had drawn for her and headed towards the grocery store.
The path she took was less traveled, there were fewer zombies.
She bypassed the zombies near the supermarket and did not kill them.
Once they were a distance away, whenever she encountered a zombie, Ning Yu would take it down with a single arrow from her titanium crossbow sleeve.
Along the way, she also came across several survivors.
Their faces showed panic, they were looking left and right, probably out for food.
The apocalypse had been going on for several days now.
Those with less food stocked up at home had no choice but to seek food outside.
It was a matter of life and death, between dying of hunger and taking a risk, some chose to take a leap.
Seeing Ning Yu, a clean and beautiful little girl, casually walking around as if she was taking a stroll, they were incredibly surprised and pitied her.
They probably assumed that Ning Yu had wandered off from her family and would soon fall into the belly of the dead.
These people had no time to worry about 'poor souls' like Ning Yu. They didn't even know if they would be alive the next day, so how could they have the time to play the good Samaritan?
So they just glanced at her and continued their search for resources.
Ning Yu quickly found what she was looking for—the fresh food store described by Shen Yiyue.
Luckily, there seemed to be no signs of looting inside the store yet.
In situations like this apocalyptic scenario, where resources were limited, people generally preferred instant noodles, canned food, and biscuits.
These items could be stored for a long time and were easy to transport and carry.
Therefore, typical fresh food stores like this one appeared to have been mostly overlooked.
In such times, those who still had the desire to buy meat and vegetables and cook balanced meals were probably considered an oddity.
Well, Ning Yu was that oddity.
Without making a sound, she pushed open the large door of the fresh food store—it wasn’t locked.
Inside, a few zombified shop assistants aimlessly wandered.
Ning Yu aimed her titanium alloy wrist crossbow at one of them, ready to act.
Just then, a steel pipe brutally smashed down on the zombie's head!
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.
