The caught tick writhed and twisted its swollen body, its sharp mouthparts nearly piercing the man's gloves.
The uncle hurriedly threw the insect to the ground and stomped on it hard.
Under the streetlight, a pool of foul-smelling blood slowly flowed toward the haystack in the corner.
"Aren't ticks only the size of a grain of rice? This one is almost the size of a fist." Xiao Yu looked at Xu Yi in confusion.
The night light reflected off Xu Yi's half-rimmed gold-rimmed glasses, casting a faint glow. "The speed of insect evolution is far beyond expectations; it's even possible that new species will emerge."
Xiao Yu nodded as if she understood, her lips tightening slightly involuntarily. "Then can Lin Dong still use this thing...?"
"It may only have a drainage function left."
Lu Sheng glanced at it and saw that Lin Dong's indescribable thing was now just a shriveled layer of skin, like a balloon that had been leaking air for several days.
So this is what happens when the symbolic meaning outweighs the practical value.
...
After receiving the rice, Lu Sheng and the others returned to their dormitories.
Upon re-entering the space, she realized that she hadn't yet claimed the ten-day sign-in gift pack from yesterday.
With anticipation in her eyes, Lu Sheng gently tapped the gift pack icon.
[Ten-Day Sign-in Reward: Space Upgrade]
As the system notification sounded, Lu Sheng's space instantly expanded to the size of an entire football field!
[Bonus Reward: Gain a random game skill.]
[Host phone detected, game search in progress.]
Does this system mean it's rewarding players with in-game skills? That's amazing!
Lu Sheng rubbed her hands together and opened her phone, eager to get started. She was a hardcore MOBA game enthusiast, skilled at games like Honor of Kings and League of Legends.
If you could just give her any hero skill, wouldn't she be able to dominate the battlefield?
As Lu Sheng pondered which skill was the most powerful, a bad premonition suddenly arose the moment his finger swiped across the screen…
Her King of Glory, her League of Legends...
All gone!
All that remained on the screen was a pink, cute girl avatar icon and four powerful characters.
Amazing! Miraculous! Heartwarming! Heartwarming!
Lu Sheng's vision went black, and he almost died on the spot.
How could she forget that the day she returned to Dingxianglou, Sun Tiantian forced her to delete all the MOBA games and coerced her into downloading Miracle Nikki to help her?
[Unlock Skill: One-Click Outfit Change]
After the cold, electronic voice faded, a new wardrobe module appeared in Lu Sheng's system. Lu Sheng clicked on it with trembling hands and found it filled with glamorous and extravagant dresses and accessories, as well as various adorable little outfits.
A wide variety of styles, textures, and designs are available...
They even thoughtfully provided a lot of pet clothes.
The clothes in the game are... exactly the same...
Lu Sheng had a headache.
Please, this is the apocalypse, can everyone show some respect for zombies?
Are we expecting her to change into a beautiful battle outfit before every battle, like Cardcaptor Sakura?!
Lu Sheng was on the verge of tears, grabbed Zhuangzhuang as a pillow and silently fell asleep.
I also cursed the system a hundred times.
...
The next morning, Lu Sheng was woken up by a WeChat call from Sun Tiantian.
"Those disaster victims who stayed on the fifth floor have been making a fuss all morning, so whatever you do, don't go out!"
As soon as the call connected, Sun Tiantian's crisp voice came through.
Lu Sheng poured a glass of iced milk with cocoa balls. "What kind of trouble are you causing now?"
"It was that family of five. The old lady, along with her daughter-in-law and grandson, went door to door, crying and begging for food."
Sun Tiantian stretched lazily on the other end of the phone, "They are old and young, and several girls in our group are shy, so they gave a little bit of rice."
Lu Sheng sneered, "They ask for it everywhere. If you give them a handful each, it adds up to quite a bit."
In her previous life, Lu Sheng was young and ignorant and sympathized with these old, weak, sick and disabled people. But when she and Sun Tiantian were injured, those old women and children who had eaten their food turned around and stole their only tent.
As they were talking, the beggars had already arrived at Lu Sheng and Sun Tiantian's door.
Lu Sheng looked at the surveillance footage and saw that the old lady was probably in her sixties, in good health and quick-witted, and might even be in better physical condition than Sun Tiantian.
The mother was probably in her early thirties, slightly plump, and looked to be in good health.
Both of them were wearing inappropriately light-colored clothes, and they were clearly not their age.
Lu Sheng recognized the dress the mother was wearing; it looked like Meng Xue had worn it before.
It seems that this family, seeing that Meng Xue was gone, simply took over her place and seized her belongings.
The little boy was about seven or eight years old, the kind of age that even dogs would hate. Even though his mother was pulling him along, he wouldn't behave and kicked Lu Sheng's door several times.
The three of them didn't knock on the door; they just sat on the ground and started wailing and crying in a high-pitched voice.
"College students, please have pity on this old man."
"Sisters, you are all beautiful and kind-hearted, please give me some food."
"I'm two months pregnant, and if I keep starving myself, I won't be able to save the baby."
The elderly, pregnant women, and children—the three kings of online feuds have all come together.
The old lady and the child's mother howled for a long time, but when 402 and 403 didn't respond, they simply lay down on the ground and refused to move.
A seven- or eight-year-old boy kicked Lu Sheng's door in a shrill, childish voice, yelling, "Open the door! Get out!"
Lu Sheng was eating breakfast when they started making so much noise that she got annoyed and shoved the door open.
The child was pushed away by the force and rolled several times on the floor.
"You can't guard the house or protect the yard, so what are you barking about here?"
Lu Sheng crossed his arms and looked down at the two adults and one child.
Seeing the child being thrown away, the mother's face darkened, but she quickly put on a fawning expression again.
