Chapter 258 The Former Female Protagonist of the Apocalypse Who Became Cannon Fodder (Part 4) Lin You...

Lin You had never tried using a flying sword to carry three people before. Fortunately, the Yi Yun Sword could change shape; after becoming wider and longer, it could carry three people without any problem.

Lin You stood in front as the driver, while the Liu family of three sat in a row behind. Although the flying speed was a bit slower after the sword turned into a door panel, they still managed to return safely.

Lin You wouldn't normally waste spiritual energy like this, since in the non-cultivation world, spiritual energy consumption is replenished by spirit stones. But things are different now; she opened the treasure chest from her previous world and got an energy conversion system.

It's a watch-like device that, when worn, can absorb various forms of energy and transform them into the spiritual energy that Lin You needs.

Liu Yiyi happily led her parents to pack and settle in. However, Yiyun Sword, which had developed a trace of sword spirit after Lin You's main body broke through to the Foundation Establishment stage, was somewhat unhappy.

After buzzing and protesting for a long time, Lin You hugged and coaxed him for a while, promising that he would only carry one person at most in the future and would never overload him like a door panel, before finally calming him down.

With the help of Liu's parents, the six-story building was quickly connected to electricity, a water storage tank was installed on the roof, and Lin You drew a water-gathering talisman and affixed it, so there was no problem with water usage.

Having temporarily resolved the urgent issue for the task target, Lin You finally had time to catch her breath and glance at her system page.

She vaguely remembered receiving a notification that the shop was sold out not long after she arrived in this world.

As soon as the system page opened, not only did she hear the store's notification sound, but her backend information also exploded. First, there was a series of sales notifications. In less than an hour, all one hundred items were sold out. Lin You received more than a thousand points as payment, including a 1% commission.

Lin You listed another batch of items, still ten different products, this time with twenty of each in stock, and the prices were still based on the system store.

These talismans and pills are just for her to practice with. Even if she doesn't need them normally, she will still draw some talismans and refine some pills from time to time to keep her skills up. Although the supply is far from meeting the demand, Lin You has no intention of raising the price.

Selling consumables like this is definitely more profitable if you take the path of low profit and high volume. She's not doing one-off business; a steady, long-term approach is more suitable.

After the products were listed, Lin You checked the backend messages. Some were messages urging her to list new products, and some were friend requests. Lin You wasn't interested in communicating with people she didn't know well, so she ignored them.

She scrolled through the messages and found one that seemed interesting. It urged her to join the employee group, with the link on the forum, and told her to check it out when she had time.

There were also messages from Apiao and Xiaoyou. Besides reminding her that the items were good but there weren't enough to go around, they also wanted to buy some other materials.

Heng Mo obtained all sorts of items from completing tasks, and he shared many of them with Lin You. Lin You kept the usable items and piled up the unused ones in the warehouse.

Lin You didn't plan to keep the two of them since they wanted to buy it, as some things were easier to handle with points.

The transaction was naturally conducted through the shop, since Lin You, being in the mission world, didn't have the ability to go to the company to deliver goods to him.

The shop can be set up for exclusive auctions, and these auctions are only for friends. After Apiao and Xiaoyou picked out their items and put them up for sale, Lin You smelled a wonderful fragrance.

She casually closed the system page and followed the aroma. Sure enough, it was the Northeastern stew made by Su Wanwan.

Although it only contained simple potatoes, vermicelli, and cured meat, topped with a ring of cornbread, the flavor was surprisingly strong, even making Lin You, who had a lot of delicious food stored up, a little envious.

After all, she had tasted all the food in the space before, so nothing could compare to the freshness of this freshly cooked food.

The cornbread stuck to the pan had a crispy crust on one side, the stewed potatoes were so tender they melted in your mouth, and the sweet potato noodles were said to be homemade by Su Wanwan, very chewy and springy, each one soaked up the broth.

The cured pork was also homemade, salty, fragrant, and chewy. Lin You and Liu Yiyi held their bowls and ate it with great relish.

"If it were fresh pork, it would taste even better, especially the ribs. The bones in the middle are stewed until they fall off the bone, and you can just pull them out. You can eat them one bite at a time. I could finish two big bowls!" Liu Yiyi described to Lin You while eating.

Lin You looked at the pot thoughtfully. Should she go to the system store and buy a live pig to try it out?

Fortunately, Su Wanwan spoke up in time, interrupting her train of thought, "If you want to eat fresh meat, that's fine too. These mutated creatures include both humans and animals, but most of them are still good. Let's check if there are any farms nearby; maybe we can find live meat."

That's a good idea. Using points to buy things is a waste, and most importantly, she should go out and explore.

Liu Yiyi knew where the vegetable market was, so she went out with Lin You. Besides, she was the mission target, and Lin You needed to learn how to survive in this world.

There were many zombies in the market, but fortunately, they weren't agile enough to reach the high shelves.

After a dozen or so broken pieces of zombie ice appeared on the road to the vegetable market, Lin You successfully delivered the ingredients she needed.

There were too many zombies surrounding the entire market, and not many supplies, so it hadn't been searched. Lin You and Liu Yiyi picked out the ones that were still alive and put them away.

They found a dozen chickens, seven or eight ducks, a suckling pig weighing several tens of kilograms, a dozen fish of various kinds, as well as some seasonings and seeds, all of which were temporarily stored in Lin You's space.

The other animals either starved to death or were ravaged by zombies. Lin You studied the surrounding area and found that animals could also turn into zombies, but there were far fewer of them compared to human zombies.

After recording the information they found, Lin You and Liu Yiyi returned to their residence. The group of chickens, ducks, and fish that had been half-dead had become lively and energetic after staying in Lin You's space for a short while.

Upon seeing this, Su Wanwan immediately organized Liu Jingyuan to divide the rooftop into a breeding area, a planting area, and an aquatic product area. The materials were sourced locally, and many of them were found in the six-story building.

For example, the large bathtub used for raising fish was taken from a bathroom, the flower pots and flower racks used for growing vegetables were from another family's balcony, and the fence for raising chickens and ducks was from yet another family's baby gate.

While Liu's parents were busy, Lin You was also studying Liu Yiyi's mission, which was to help her survive in this apocalypse. It wasn't actually that difficult.

The simplest way is naturally to cultivate, but unfortunately, the energy system of this world is incompatible with the cultivation world, so Liu Yiyi cannot cultivate immortality.

There's also her own cheat ability, which has now been bound to Lin You at his request. Unfortunately, this thing is purely auxiliary and can't improve her own combat power at all. It can only enhance the awakened superpowers, but even so, she still has to rely on others.

Although it would have allowed her to survive and complete her mission, Lin You rejected it, saying that kind of life was too stifling.

Lin You tried to teach Liu Yiyi martial arts techniques, but these techniques require comprehension. It was too much to ask a young girl living in the modern world to understand the Eight Extraordinary Meridians in a short time.

Liu Yiyi knew that she was doing it for her own good and had tried her best to cooperate, but she herself lacked athletic ability.

The two teachers taught each other for a week, and by the time the rooftop had been transformed into an ecological playground, Liu Yiyi had barely reached the point where she could clumsily tie flowers with a stick.

As for why she didn't use a sword to learn, Lin You was afraid she might accidentally poke a hole in herself.

In the end, Lin You crossed out the plan to make Liu Yiyi a martial arts master, only requiring her to improve her physical fitness.

Their lives were peaceful and comfortable, but the experience of the Longyuan Squad was not so pleasant.

Because of Lin You's timely appearance, Liu Yiyi was taken away by her. The transmigrator Xiao Saying not only failed to obtain Liu Yiyi's cheat ability, but also caused the Longyuan team to fall into some crisis because of the excuse she made when she stopped Long Yu from saving Liu Yiyi.

Xiao Saying told them that she had a premonition that there was a warehouse in the northeast corner of the mall, which was rich in supplies. This was not just something she made up; there was indeed such a warehouse in the plot she knew.

What she didn't know was that when the apocalypse came, a batch of goods in the warehouse had a problem, and the supervisor was holding a meeting with all the employees inside, giving them a lecture. After everyone turned into zombies, they were all left in the warehouse.

At this time, Long Yu was just a newly awakened superhuman, and his teammates didn't have much combat experience. Because they trusted Xiao Sa Ying too much, they weren't on guard when they entered the warehouse, and they were trapped inside by more than ten zombies.

In the end, Long Yu's best friend Xue Bin lured away the zombies at the door in order to save him. He was scratched and infected by the zombies, and only then could everyone run out together.

This also happened in the original storyline, but with the cheat ability, Xiao Sa Ying made up for her mistake in time, and also took the opportunity to demonstrate her skills, ultimately consolidating her position.

But things are different now. Without the cheat code, Xue Bin's injury has become an insurmountable obstacle. Someone who is willing to risk their life to save Long Yu is naturally very important to Long Yu as well.

Because Xiao Saying was still useful, she wasn't kicked out, but all the preferential treatment she had received in terms of supplies was canceled, and her supplies became the least in the entire team.

She was also required to accompany the people she predicted to the places. Before her transmigration, Xiao Saying was a special forces soldier and assassin, and she was always a woman of her word. She was unwilling to be treated so harshly. It was only because she still cared about Long Yu that she would have wiped out this group of people long ago.

Even so, she still caused a ruckus in the Longyuan team, and only calmed down after Long Yu restored her supplies.

Lin You was unaware that before she could even deal with the villains, they had already started fighting amongst themselves.

She was researching how to give Liu Yiyi a cheat code. Originally, she planned to wait until Liu Yiyi had some combat power before doing so, so that if the cheat code mission was too troublesome, Liu Yiyi wouldn't feel too much pressure.

Now it seems there's no need to wait any longer. After all, if we wait another three months, her combat power will probably only be enough to take on one zombie at a time.

Lin You had long since given up on his luck and stuck to the old routine: having Liu Yiyi personally extract his cheat code.

The cheat wheel spun rapidly, and soon stopped on a certain slot:

[Ding! Additional task generated: Test of the cheat code "Gourmet Choice" Attachment: Ingredient Creation Guide]

If you successfully find 10,000 ingredients and turn them into food, you'll be the chosen one in the culinary world; passing the test requires at least 6,000 ingredients.

Failure will deduct the reward for this mission; passing will grant double the reward; and a perfect score will allow you to draw a mystery gift. Note: The cheat code can only be used on the mission target.
