"Who told you to exchange them for no reason? You should exchange them based on their contributions. All the missions and zombie energy cores that everyone completes are yours." Shi Yin clicked her tongue lightly: "I already told you to coordinate with the team. Of course, the entire team should contribute points to you, and then you can use those points to exchange for things with them."
Oh, I see.
It thought it had encountered some unscrupulous master who was trying to suck its blood.
System 004 breathed a sigh of relief.
There was nothing it could do; the woman it had suddenly encountered was just too powerful. Its little system simply couldn't keep up. The moment it grabbed the woman in its hand, 004 could clearly sense that if she dared to resist, it would crush her in the next instant.
Everything that has life has a will to survive. Even though it's a small system, it doesn't want to just go to waste, okay?
The squad is a national squad, and a secret squad at that. Presumably, their intelligence and abilities have been rigorously selected. If they kill zombies together to complete missions and earn points, wouldn't it be possible to issue 10 missions a day and then receive a commission from 10 missions a day?
Wow! This is a huge windfall!!
Is this for real?
Okay, okay, no problem, no problem, 004 will take care of everything.
System 004 cheered and rushed outside to select a person.
"Nanzhu, do I look fierce?" Shiyin asked, a little puzzled.
Why is it that whenever she tries to negotiate with someone, they feel like she's trying to exploit them? They're filled with trepidation.
Does she look like a bad person? No, she shouldn't.
Shi Yin touched her face. Her parents were quite good-looking, and neither of them had a menacing appearance, so she shouldn't turn out badly.
"Perhaps it's because you're too powerful." Nan Zhu chuckled, his smile brightening. "Normal people would feel fear in the face of an overly powerful person."
“You don’t have any.” Shi Yin raised an eyebrow.
“I’m different. I admire strength,” Nan Zhu said with a smile. “I worship you.”
Shi Yin: "..."
That's straightforward, so direct?
“Alright, let’s talk about the rest.” Shi Yin tossed her long hair.
The snow-white hair that had been hanging to the ground immediately pulled back up to her waist. Her long, jet-black hair was still smooth, just like the snow-white hair that had been there before—it was all an illusion.
"Hey hey hey!" Number 2, whose hair was rolled up, was suddenly released by Shion and immediately fell forward uncontrollably.
Just as his face was about to make intimate contact with the ground, Number 2 suddenly felt a tap on his shoulder, allowing him to regain his balance in time. When he looked up, he was met with Nan Zhu's gentle and refined face, which made him feel a little embarrassed for a moment.
"Thank you," Number 2 muttered softly.
"No need to thank me, I'm just glad you're alright," Nan Zhu replied softly. "Do you need me to help you back to your seat?"
"Ah! No, no need!" Number 2 was startled. How could he let these two adults help him? He scrambled to his feet and returned to his seat, sitting obediently without daring to say a word.
After the group settled down on the benches, Nanzhu stepped forward and placed a cup of tea in front of each of them.
The fine white porcelain cup contained pale green tea, its refreshing aroma starkly contrasting with the lingering smell of blood.
The people in the interrogation room were trembling. Was this the legendary "decapitation tea"?
"Sorry, I startled you all. I didn't originally intend to use force." Shi Yin sat back down on the sofa. "We don't force you to join the country, but as I just said, if you don't join, you have to stay here."
"Please rest assured, we will not mistreat you." Seeing that the people in the interrogation room were becoming increasingly anxious, Nan Zhu spoke up to ease the tension: "It is also a last resort that we do not allow everyone to hoard supplies. Everyone knows how much supplies you need, which puts us in a difficult position."
Nan Zhu's calm and cool voice eased the tense atmosphere somewhat, and Shi Yin listened quietly as Nan Zhu finished speaking.
She wasn't good at comforting people; she was more used to giving orders. Since Nan Zhu was willing to take on the job of comforting people, she was naturally happy to have some free time.
“That’s right. At this stage, we will not allow anyone or anything that might disrupt the country’s progress.” Shi Yin continued, “When the apocalypse comes, I will give you supplies for 3 to 7 days. You will have to fend for yourselves for the rest.”
"Then, if it's not mandatory, why are we locked up here?" Number 4 weakly raised his hand.
"Anyone who organizes cheating in national examinations as stipulated by law shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years or criminal detention, and may also be fined; if the circumstances are serious, the sentence shall be fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and a fine shall also be imposed," Nan Zhu gently reminded.
In other words, locking you up for six months is already a good thing; it's a reduced punishment.
Everyone: "..."
So, if you think about it that way, rebirth and having a system actually do seem like cheating...
"I didn't cheat! I didn't get any benefits!" Number 4 was almost in tears: "This year's college entrance exam questions were clearly the same as last time..."
The college entrance exam questions this time were completely different from those before his rebirth, okay? She didn't enjoy any of the benefits of being reborn at all, and she didn't even do well on the college entrance exam. Now they're accusing her of cheating, isn't that too unfair?
“I’ve memorized all your last college entrance exam questions, and the answers you all gave are exactly the same as mine. It’s not too much to ask you to come in for a cup of tea, is it?” Shi Yin said, arms crossed, looking at everyone with a leisurely air.
The interrogation room fell completely silent.
They were definitely feeling guilty...
“Come on, sign your names to agree to help the country. Sign the left side if you want to go out on your own. Sign the right side if you want to go out on your own.” Shi Yin reached out her hand, and Nan Zhu immediately handed her two pieces of paper: “No coercion, no threats, just follow your own wishes.”
Everyone: "..."
No threat? Are you serious? Shouldn't you look at what you're saying?
The head was still bleeding on the ground, the blood hadn't cooled down yet, and their legs were still weak. How can you say there's no threat? Is that really appropriate?
Although everyone was full of complaints, they still reluctantly signed their names on the left side.
No one chose the right side.
In reality, most of them are quite intelligent; the worst one is just love-struck. As the saying goes, "to get ashore, first eliminate your love interest." After being reborn, they eliminated their love-struck tendencies, and in other aspects, they are quite remarkable.
They hardly need to think about how to choose the safest, most profitable, and longest-lived option. Now they don't even need to take exams; they can be hired without any pain. It's just too good to be true, isn't it?
Although some people with a system felt a bit regretful.
I thought getting this system would be a cheat code that would make me invincible, and I imagined how awesome it would be to slaughter hordes of zombies. But now, it doesn't feel so impressive anymore...
"Are you all choosing to help the country? I'll give you a chance to change your mind." Shi Yin glanced at the blank paper on the right and frowned slightly: "Everyone can change their mind today. After midnight, everyone will lose the chance to change their mind."
