I Branch Out in the Apocalypse

The apocalypse comes suddenly.

Zhang Lin is trapped at home, and food is about to run out.

A system suddenly appears!

Marrying and having children will grant generous rewards.

...

Chapter 289, Act 1

After learning that nothing had happened between Zhang Lin and Li Shiyun, Li Shiyun quickly followed her heart.

She actually has very high expectations of the other person.

Someone like Zhang Lin was someone she would never have considered before.

After all, she knew Zhang Lin had a girlfriend.

But Zhang Lin gave her a reason.

"I'm doing this to repay the people of Shashi. They wanted me, but they didn't want all these extraordinary materials. How many masters will be born in Shashi in the future! I'm sacrificing myself for my hometown!"

Once Li Xinyue made up her mind, she convinced herself.

So when Li Shiyun saw Zhang Lin and Li Xinyue again, the two were already holding hands. To Li Shiyun's astonishment, Li Xinyue introduced them, "Xiaoyun, call him godfather from now on."

"..." Although Li Shiyun is usually oblivious, she was shocked at this moment. She looked at the two of them and didn't know what to say for a long time.

no……

He was perfectly fine when I left; he was still my older brother. How come he went and got into a fight with the little white cat, and then came back as my dad?

Faced with the silent Li Shiyun, Li Xinyue looked shy and turned her head away, unsure of how to face her goddaughter.

Zhang Lin remained calm, saying, "Don't listen to your godmother. From now on, just call me brother. Let's stick to our own way of addressing each other!"

"Oh," Li Shiyun replied blankly.

She still hasn't quite come to her senses.

Li Xinyue felt a pang of sadness. The change in how she addressed Li Shiyun wasn't just a change of address; if Zhang Lin acknowledged this daughter, he couldn't possibly make a move on her, could he? This way, she wouldn't have to face such an awkward situation in the future.

But Zhang Lin didn't change his form of address; he still made Li Shiyun call him "brother," and the meaning was quite clear...

It must be said that Li Xinyue, who is half a married woman, is actually very cunning. Unknowingly, she wanted to make Zhang Lin give up his thoughts on Li Shiyun.

But Zhang Lin was a cunning old fox, and he wouldn't fall for the trap.

"Xinyue, go ahead and get busy. After you're done, come back to Hope City with me." Zhang Lin squeezed her delicate little hand, then let go, allowing her to leave gracefully.

Li Xinyue did agree to be his woman, but the two of them did nothing.

The main reason is that the current environment doesn't allow it.

Zhang Lin looked down on these extraordinary materials, but Li Xinyue and the people of Shashi regarded them as treasures. The corpses of extraordinary animals would rot, and if they weren't dealt with quickly, they didn't know how much they would lose in a couple of days...

Li Xinyue also needs to hurry up and lead the people of Shashi to collect extraordinary materials.

The two agreed that after finishing their business here, she would take the people of Shashi who were willing to go to Hope City to Hope City. After arriving in Hope City, she would hand them over to the city lord. She was no longer interested in being a leader of any power and would instead settle down as Zhang Lin's mistress.

The good thing about Li Xinyue is that she is sensible. Although she is only half a married woman, she thinks things through clearly and is very insightful, which makes Zhang Lin very worry-free.

Zhang Lin also asked Li Xinyue that question, and after receiving a positive answer, she successfully obtained her 94 points.

I had previously earned over 90 points from Jin Sina, but I spent some of them. With the points settled at the end of the month, I had exactly 90 points left.

Now, with the 94 points belonging to Li Xinyue, Zhang Lin's prosperity points have reached 184, more than he has ever had in his savings.

With just a little more, the city lord can regain his physical body.

Of course, even if he had 300 points, Zhang Lin didn't want to exchange them for the [Glory of Carbon-Based Life], as he was unaware of the existence of the gods before.

Now that he knew of the gods' existence, it felt like a sword was hanging over his head, and he felt no sense of security whatsoever.

These points should be used to improve our skills.

If the system shop could refresh and offer the God-Slaying Token, that would be even better.

Speaking of the system, Zhang Lin couldn't figure it out either.

He had actually believed the system's nonsense, thinking it had nothing to do with the amusement park.

But now, he is convinced that his system is definitely in an amusement park.

Putting everything else aside, last time I went to the warehouse inside the amusement park, although I didn't go in, I secretly peeked inside, and a lot of the things there looked very familiar...

Since there's one God-Slaying Token in the amusement park, there could probably be more.

If he could get more, he would be much more at ease when facing the gods.

"System, send me a few God-Slaying Tokens!"

After browsing the system shop again, Zhang Lin still couldn't find the God-Slaying Token, so he tentatively started chatting with the system.

"Sorry, I do not have this permission!"

Even the system's cold, mechanical voice sounded somewhat helpless at this moment.

"I don't care. Without the God-Slaying Token, I might be killed by the gods in the next second. What will you do when I die? You don't want to be a system without a host, do you?"

After learning the system's true nature, Zhang Lin's true colors were revealed, showing him absolutely no respect for the system.

The system was even more helpless.

"Sorry, I don't have permission."

But the refusal remained firm.

Zhang Lin pursed his lips. What should I do if the system doesn't listen to me?

"Then can you give me a discount?" Zhang Lin looked at the [Glory of Carbon-Based Life] in the store. "How about a 90% discount on this thing? It's rare for me, the host, to need your help, so don't be ungrateful!"

If the system had any human emotions at all, it would have scolded Zhang Lin at this moment.

Who the hell is this guy?!

But the system actually does have that permission, and it doesn't lie...

"I can't give the host a discount on every item, only this one!" the system said honestly.

It had come to understand Zhang Lin, so it made things clear beforehand to prevent Zhang Lin from becoming greedy and continuing to demand discounts later.

Wow! They even offer a discount on this!

Zhang Lin was overjoyed, and then he saw that the price of the item "Glory of Carbon-Based Life" had changed to 30 points.

Although you should save your points for crucial moments, spending thirty points to help the city lord restore his physical body... isn't out of the question.

To put it bluntly, if the gods are really determined to kill him, having a taste of the city lord before he dies would be a small wish fulfilled, and he could die in peace...

"I bought it!"

With a 90% discount, buying it is a steal. If every item had such a huge discount, Zhang Lin would go bankrupt buying the system.

Soon, a jet-black metal pendant appeared in Zhang Lin's hand.

Just this little thing.

Its use is very limited.

It can only allow organisms that were originally carbon-based life forms to transform their life characteristics and become other life forms, thus gaining the ability to restore their physical bodies when not in combat.

But it fits Zhang Lin’s current situation perfectly.

"Now we just have to wait to get back to Hope City."
