When the apocalyptic survival game began, Fang Zhiyi was sorting goods in his own fresh food supermarket.
Bad news: The apocalypse rules have collapsed, resources are scarce, crises are endle...
Does the Chapter 97 completion ticket cost 899 survival points to purchase...?
"Money! Lots of money!"
A painted pie in the sky is nowhere near as dazzling as real gold and silver.
The hotel staff didn't even bother chasing after the person; they were all crawling on the ground picking up the money. Those who were a step behind and missed picking it up immediately turned on their heads and snatched the money from other people's arms.
For a time, the corridor was filled with arguments and shouts.
Taking advantage of the infighting among the hotel staff, Fang Zhiyi and Chu Zhao made their way through the crowd and headed straight for the 44th floor.
Upon reaching the 44th floor, the surroundings suddenly became quiet.
Fang Zhiyi leaned against the wall, calming her rising and falling breaths. After a moment, she turned her head and smiled at Chu Zhao.
He escaped death once again.
After a short rest, the two decided to continue. Just then, a weak voice came from behind them: "Wait..."
Fang Zhiyi turned his head to look.
In the corridor between the 44th and 45th floors, tentacles cautiously peeked out. A hotel employee shuffled down the wall step by step, his eyes gleaming: "Y-you guys..."
Fang Zhiyi looked over warily.
Chu Zhao stepped forward, gripped the crowbar tightly, and was ready to swing it down at any moment.
The hotel employee who appeared before him was short and thin, clad in a large work uniform, making him stand out from the others. He nervously raised his hand: "I'm sorry, I... I didn't mean any harm!"
Fang Zhiyi pressed down on Chu Zhao's hand and gently shook his head.
Chu Zhao switched to a title that allowed him to see through the identities of NPCs, and in his line of sight, a line of small text appeared above the heads of the hotel employees.
Hotel Intern
[Timid personality, zero aggression, works more than 12 hours a day, earns 0 wages per day]
Fang Zhiyi saw the information shared by Chu Zhao.
Fang Zhiyi: "..."
That's terrible.
He shielded Chu Zhao behind him and asked, "What do you need?"
The interns' tentacles touched each other: "Yes, yes, uh... are you leaving the hotel?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded: "Yes."
The intern's tentacles lit up instantly, and he said urgently, "Could you take me with you?" Then, realizing his request might be too presumptuous, he stammered, "I won't be a burden. I can even show you the way..."
The intern said a lot, her eyes welling up with tears.
Fang Zhiyi interrupted him: "Why do you want to go out?"
The intern paused, looked up, and said with great anticipation, "I want to go out and see the world. I've been here since I was born, and I've never seen what the outside world is like. I've read about it in books; there's sunshine and wind outside, and I want to see it all..."
[Task - The Joining of Interns]
An intern who has never experienced hardship is filled with unrealistic fantasies about the outside world. Sometimes, stepping out of your comfort zone can bring unexpected results. Would you help him escape the hotel's control?
【whether】
Fang Zhiyi pressed down hard on the "Yes" button.
"I will take you out."
Intern: "Thank you, thank you!"
Fang Zhiyi accepted the task, and a hotel intern became their temporary teammate.
He soon realized that this decision was the right one.
The interns knew the hotel layout like the back of their hand, and they led the interns around the hotel, always managing to evade the staff who were trying to catch them.
"Come with me, here..."
Fang Zhiyi glanced at the hotel map, and it seemed that the exit route marked on the map was different from the one shown on the map.
The intern seemed to notice his suspicion and became very nervous: "This is the route we took, it's different from the map, but... but, this is the fastest route, and no one will find us." He looked like he was about to cry, "Please believe me."
Fang Zhiyi put away the map and gave him a reassuring smile: "I believe you."
The intern breathed a sigh of relief and was the first to enter a deep tunnel.
Fang Zhiyi and Chu Zhao followed closely behind and went inside.
The intern said from the front, "Please don't turn on the lights; the light will attract other people's attention."
Fang Zhiyi readily turned off the flashlight and slowly climbed down the protruding steps on the wall. The tunnel was deep and narrow, covered in a foul-smelling slime, and the places he climbed were sticky and slippery.
No one spoke; the only echo in the tunnel was the wet, sticky sound of the slime being rubbed against one's palm.
Fang Zhiyi remained silent as his eyes gradually adjusted to the darkness. A blurry outline appeared before him: the tunnel walls were covered with vines, and clusters of egg-like follicles hung from their branches. The follicles were almost transparent, and inside floated red spheres that were constantly absorbing mucus and dividing to grow.
A follicle grew to its limit and finally burst with a "pop," releasing the sphere inside, which quickly grew into a human shape.
The person had long limbs and was lying on the wall. A tentacle grew from the top of his head, swaying from side to side, as he climbed upwards in a daze.
Fang Zhiyi held her breath, watching the newly born "person" pass by.
Fortunately, the "person" didn't react to them at all, and crawled over without even glancing at them. He grabbed a hotel uniform and put it on, becoming a hotel employee. The words "[Hotel Intern (Consumable)]" gradually appeared above his head.
Fang Zhiyi withdrew her gaze and continued reading.
After climbing for about half an hour, he finally reached the bottom. He let go and lightly jumped down, landing on the bottom. The ground beneath his feet was also covered with a thick layer of viscous liquid, making a slapping sound when he stepped on it.
The intern led them through the underground, and they stopped at a ventilation shaft. He pushed the shaft's cover, and tentacles emerged from the gaps. After surveying the area, the tentacles retracted, and the intern nodded to the people behind him.
There's no one outside.
Chu Zhao stepped forward and used a crowbar to pry open the cover of the vent, and the three of them crawled out one after another.
What appeared before us was the first floor of the hotel.
The lobby on the first floor was magnificent, spacious, and luxurious. A group of security guards were patrolling, and behind them were the hotel's locked doors.
The intern asked nervously, "Do you have a key?"
Fang Zhiyi nodded and took out a heavy key.
This was given to them by the hotel reception after they checked out.
The intern visibly relaxed: "That's good..."
Fang Zhiyi leaned against the corner, observing the patrolling security guards.
Security guards patrol the lobby every 10 minutes. There are two teams of security guards who patrol in shifts to ensure that someone is guarding the lobby at all times, leaving no loopholes for them to exploit.
The only thing I could do was try to distract the security guards before going to open the door.
The intern raised his hand: "I...I'll distract the security guards. Just wait for me when you open the door."
The intern walked out of his hiding place and went straight to the security team.
The security guard was very rude: "What are you doing here?"
The intern flinched: "I just... wanted to take a look..."
Security guard: "This isn't a place for you to look around. Get back to work!"
The intern nodded fearfully, "Okay, okay..." He said as he backed away, and just as he reached a corner, he suddenly let out a scream, "Ah—!"
The security guard immediately became alert: "What's wrong?"
Intern: "Someone's gone! Someone's run past!"
The security guard asked, "Where?"
The intern pointed randomly in a direction: "Here!"
The security guard squinted as he searched, but found nothing.
The intern then changed his tune: "Oh no, it's over there—"
The security guard searched in a different direction but still couldn't find it. He grabbed the intern's tentacles and said angrily, "Are you kidding us?"
The intern shook his head frantically: "No, no, there really was an intruder, I really saw it..."
The hall was noisy when suddenly a loud shout rang out: "You two, stop right there!"
Fang Zhiyi and Chu Zhao took the opportunity to sneak to the front door. Hearing the sound behind them, they not only did not stop but quickened their pace and rushed over.
The two doors slammed shut, and Fang Zhiyi slammed them against them with all his might, his shoulder aching from the impact.
He gritted his teeth, took out his keys, and tried to open the door.
Behind me, the security guards shouted: "Stop!", "Don't move!", "Stay away from the door!"
The security captain, ignoring the intern, let go of his hand and strode after him.
The floor was shaking, the door was swaying, and even Fang Zhiyi's hands were trembling uncontrollably. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't get the key into the lock; he kept trying and trying, but it was always just a little off.
...Hold on tight, don't shake!
The more he tried not to be nervous, the more nervous he became. Fang Zhiyi almost lost his grip on the key. Just as the key was about to slip from his hand, Chu Zhao's hand grasped his wrist. The strong, warm touch of Chu Zhao's hand brought him a sense of peace.
Fang Zhiyi finally calmed down, steadily inserted the key into the lock, and turned it downwards with all her might.
哢哒.
The door opened.
The key transformed into a streak of light and entered the door, instantly illuminating the patterns carved on the door, so bright that it was blinding.
The heavy doors opened to both sides, the mechanical chains creaking and rattling.
A beam of light shone through the crack in the door, bright and clear.
The security guards screamed and scattered. Only the intern ignored them and rushed towards the Gate of Hope.
"Take me with you!"
Fang Zhiyi used his body to brace against the half-open door and reached out his hand to the intern.
The intern couldn't wait to grab it and rush out into the world outside the door that he had been longing for day and night.
Outside the door, there is sunshine, wind, birdsong, and the fragrance of flowers.
A smile appeared on the intern's face.
But before his smile could fully unfold, he melted away like ice and snow in the sunlight.
Turning around, the signboard of the Jiahua Hotel gleamed in the sunlight, and a roar of resentment echoed from deep within the hotel.

A series of messy settlement notifications appeared before his eyes again, which Fang Zhiyi scrolled through with practiced ease.
[Unlock achievement...]
[Gain survival points...]
[Unlock achievement...]
【get……】
I quickly glanced at it and got straight to the point: how many survival points I had earned.
The difficulty of the natural disaster survival world is also medium, with a 50% points bonus. After the points are doubled at the end, I got 180 survival points, bringing my total survival points to 920.
The level completion ticket in the system shop costs as much as 999 survival points.
Almost there.
Fang Zhiyi remained calm and took out the props from her backpack.
[Mall Discount Coupons]
[Get 10% off any item in the store]
Fang Zhiyi chose to use it, and after giving the pass a 10% discount, the price was only 899 survival points, which was more than enough.
[Should I spend 899 survival points to purchase a completion ticket?]
【whether】
"yes!"

Author's note: This is about to end.
I'll be launching one of these two books in January, so please add them to your favorites!
"Natural Disasters and Apocalypse: Stockpiling and Upgrading to a Safe House"
As the apocalypse arrives, various natural disasters strike one after another. Today, zombies besiege cities and war breaks out everywhere; tomorrow, torrential rains and a cold winter will bring tsunamis and landslides.
In the midst of endless disaster, everyone can awaken their talent for survival. Fang Yan awakened the [Safe House], gaining a sanctuary of his own.
Good news: No rent, utilities included, just click to receive!
Bad news: We need to start from scratch, upgrading from a tiny, run-down house.
*
In the apocalypse, the survival strategy of dialects is "search, attack, and withdraw".
The objective is to search for supplies, engage the enemy, and evacuate safely.
No matter how harsh the environment or how dangerous the natural disaster, he can always find the most supplies and safely evacuate back to the safe house.
The Gods of China Shake the Stars
Reborn before the college entrance exam, Fang Yue hadn't decided whether to make a comeback and get into Tsinghua or Peking University, or buy a 5 million yuan lottery ticket. But when he opened the mock exam paper, he was dumbfounded.
Who is the deity who controls the moon and tides?
Analyze the impact of ancient Greek mythology on contemporary society in 500 words.
The break in Chinese civilization led to a period of ignorance...
Fang Yue: ...Isn't something wrong?
*
A divine arena descends to earth, where interstellar powers vie for national destiny.
Ancient Greek mythology reigns supreme, neon-lit parades of demons occupy a place, and India's 33 million deities triumph through sheer numbers. Only Chinese culture suffers a cultural stagnation, ranking near the bottom in the competition, its fortunes divided among other nations, and it is on the verge of extinction.
The Chinese people are divided into two factions: one faction excavates relics to restore the culture, and the other faction converts to other gods and cultures in order to survive.
For Fang Yue, this was not a choice. The Divine Arena was a constellation of stars, a testament to five thousand years of cultural heritage.
*
Gods' Arena: Ocean
"The ocean is our Poseidon's home turf. Whoever kills the sea monster first wins. Sorry, we've taken this one."
"Why did the Chinese player summon a child with three heads and six arms? Is he preparing to surrender?"
Fang Yue smiled.
【Nezha, the Great God of the Three Altars and the Seas】
After the game.
"China winning one game means nothing. It's just a god. There's no chance of a comeback."
"We've changed the rules; a god can only appear once. Does that mean China can summon a second god?"
Fang Yue: Really?
