On the last day of the disaster-stricken city, Xia Ning didn't go out. Instead, she ate a hot pot meal at home and played catch with her younger sister.
At noon, Xia Ning seemed to sense something and opened her phone. She saw her pixelated figure spinning around and scattering flowers.
"Congratulations to the player for clearing the ranked preliminary round of 'Disaster City'."
"Rewards: 1. 300 experience points for clearing the level. 2. Survival points doubled."
"Congratulations, Princess Phantom, on reaching level three and unlocking the career module. Please choose one of the three randomly assigned careers to apply for."
Xia Ning's spirits lifted, and she stared intently—
A. Carpenter
B. Thief
C. Pharmacist
Without any job description, the system immediately started the countdown.
"Please make your choice within five seconds. If you fail to do so, the system will assign you a job."
Xia Ning's mind raced, and in the end, she gritted her teeth and chose the pharmacist position, which was more suitable for her survival style.
Before Xia Ning could think further, the system began to advance again.
"The Tier 2 Shop will be open for a limited time, with a countdown of 5 minutes."
"Survival points will be reset to zero in 5 minutes."
"Countdown begins—"
After her survival points doubled, Xia Ning had 1120 points, and she immediately bought the [Substitute Doll] that she had her eye on when she browsed the store last time.
Priced at 999 survival points, it can withstand one fatal attack, essentially giving you a second life.
Just as Xia Ning was pondering how to use the remaining 121 survival points, an option box popped up on the shop interface.
—Would you like to spend 100 survival points to unlock the pet slot?
--whether
Xia Ning's finger unconsciously stopped on the "no" button.
She turned her head to look at the small white dog lying obediently at her feet.
Sister: Woof!
Xia Ning twitched the corners of her mouth, then firmly pressed "No".
Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?
During the month they spent together, Xia Ning was filled with countless joys and warmth from her well-behaved and adorable younger sister.
If the younger sister were a battle pet, like a Pokémon or Digimon, she could level up and evolve.
If Xia Ning's profession were an animal trainer.
Xia Ning might hesitate.
Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".
Before running out of points in five minutes, Xia Ning didn't hesitate to use her remaining points to buy four [Power Recharge Cards] and one [Enhanced Crossbow Bolt].
Five minutes are up, the store will close.
Xia Ning left her sister plenty of dog food and drinking water, as well as a heater, in preparation for a final farewell.
She knew all too well that it would be very difficult for a pet dog to survive after she left.
Xia Ning thought she would cry, but she didn't.
"The second round of ranked matches will begin in 15 days. Please stay alive."
"This map will close in five seconds."
--five!
Xia Ning uses her skill [Human Walkie-Talkie] to target the leader of China.
--Four!
The skill has been activated and the connection has been successful.
--three!
Xia Ning took a deep breath: "Deadly poisonous fog..."
--two!
...three days later
--one!
"...Sweeping through City A!"
--zero!
Xia Ning's vision went black.
Is the disaster-stricken city a real parallel universe or a fictitious data creation? How will its future unfold?
These things are no longer relevant to Xia Ning.
— Player Phantom Princess has popped up the map of "Disaster City".
