As she was losing consciousness and about to leave, Shi Xi seemed to hear Chi Zaiqing's voice.
It seems they came to wake him up.
Shi Xi silently said 'goodbye' in her heart before completely losing consciousness.
As soon as I left the small world, the voice of a cold medicine remedy echoed in my mind:
[Ding, system settlement complete. Mission completion rate 100%, storyline completeness 100%]
[Task Rating: S]
"..." Shi Xi's expression was subtle.
"Cold medicine, or should I take you to get it checked out?"
The plots both times were terrible, yet the ratings are still so high. It feels like there's a bug in the system.
The little yellow chick looked terrified. 【!!!∑(°Д°ノ)ノ】
【Shi Xi-chan, Watashi, don't go~??^??】 The little yellow chick burrowed into the quilt, only revealing its plump butt.
Shi Xi remained silent.
His little system... is so cowardly.
"I'm not going." Shi Xi: "What's this about plot completeness?"
[There's a save file of what happens after you die, do you want to see it?] The little yellow chick pulled back the blanket a crack, revealing a pair of beady eyes.
Shi Xi replied without hesitation, "I won't look."
【…uh】The little yellow chick hesitated for a moment, 【The Devourer didn't return, it perished】
What Ganmaoling didn't mention was that the other Alphas spent the rest of their lives searching for the Source, until their deaths.
The main system determines that even a double death is a happy ending.
"Hmm." Shi Xi paused for a minute, then said, "Give me some cash."
The little yellow chick nodded.
Stepping out of the mission module, Shi Xi stood naked in front of the mirror.
I looked at myself in the mirror, examined myself quietly for a while, and then reached out my hand—
I touched the budding lotus flower on my collarbone.
Shi Xi looked confused. "It's not my imagination, it really is about to open."
In fact, he didn't know why he had this golden lotus of merit on his body. Because he had been drifting for too long, he couldn't remember many things. He only knew that he should have been dead for a long time, and then he was inexplicably pulled into the quick transmigration bureau. After training, he did tasks and exchanged his lifespan.
The better the mission rating, the longer the lifespan he can gain.
"Xiao Xi, are you awake? It's time to get up."
Shi Xi was getting dressed when she heard Li Yanci's deep voice and responded.
Upon opening the room door, one could see Li Yanci standing in the doorway, wearing a dark turtleneck sweater.
"Brother Li, what brings you here?"
Li Yanci merely gave him a deep look, then casually explained, "I just happened to be passing by and thought I'd pick you up."
Shi Xi asked, "Where is Cen Jing?"
Cen Jing usually comes to see him as soon as he finishes his work, which is why Shi Xi asked.
Li Yanci narrowed her eyes, glancing disapprovingly at Cen Jing's mission room: "His mission isn't finished yet."
Shi Xi nodded and gave Li Yanci a brief report on the results of the mission.
Li Yanci listened quietly, then turned slightly to look at the man beside her. "Are you hungry? What would you like to eat?"
Shi Xi thought for a moment and replied, "Sweet and sour pork ribs with minced meat, eggplant, lemon, shrimp, and scallion oil noodles..."
"And another spicy roasted rabbit, please."
Li Yanci pursed his lips, but a smile finally appeared in his dark eyes.
The two quickly returned to the villa. Li Yanci took off her coat, put on an apron, and walked into the kitchen with practiced ease.
Looking at Li Yanci's retreating figure, Shi Xi thought of four words: a virtuous and capable husband.
Shi Xi was somewhat confused when she recalled Cen Jing's words.
It's not scary at all.
I don't know why Cen Jing is so afraid of him.
The man who was cooking with his head down noticed his gaze with unusual sensitivity.
Li Yanci turned around, placed his hands on the edge, and asked jokingly.
"What, are you captivated by the way I cook?"
"Hmm, a saying suddenly came to mind." Shi Xi nodded calmly, then continued, "A virtuous wife is a man's best dowry."
Upon hearing this, Li Yanci covered his lips with his hand and couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then he corrected her, "No, I'm going to get married someday."
"Then consider it a bride price." Shi Xiru readily changed her mind, "Men who can cook are very sought after."
"Thank you for your kind words." Li Yanci looked directly at Shi Xi.
...
After drinking her fill, Shi Xi looked satisfied and lay down on the sofa after taking a shower.
Li Yanci seemed to be in a good mood as well. He had just finished showering and was wearing a loose bathrobe as he walked past Shi Xi.
Shi Xi caught a faint scent of lemon. He looked up and saw Li Yanci sitting next to him, drying her hair.
Perhaps due to the large movement, the belt around his waist suddenly slipped off, exposing almost half of the man's chest.
Shi Xi paused for a moment, then moved to the side.
Noticing Shi Xi's actions, Li Yanci looked at him, puzzled. "What's wrong?"
Shi Xi pursed her lips. "It's nothing."
Li Yanci then looked away.
This good mood lasted until I received a transfer notification on my phone.
Shi Xi had never rented a master bedroom in a villa before, so she didn't know the price; she just gave a rough estimate.
Seeing the expression on Li Yanci's face, he thought that he hadn't given enough money, so he transferred another sum of money.
He said to Li Yanci, "Thank you for taking me in, Brother Li."
"You're welcome." Li Yanci paused, then looked at Shi Xi. "Also, you've paid a year's rent."
Shi Xi asked in surprise, "...?"
A year?
So the benefits at the Quick Transmigration Bureau are really good. The cold medicine he exchanged was only half of his salary plus bonus, which amounted to six figures.
"Then one year." Shi Xi nodded.
Li Yanci glanced at Shi Xi and asked seemingly casually, "Did you encounter anything interesting or meet anyone during this mission?"
Shi Xi was stunned for a moment, and a pair of deep blue eyes flashed through her mind.
He lowered his eyes and replied, "No."
Seeing that Li Yanci's bathrobe was almost completely undone, Shi Xi couldn't help but say, "Brother Li, your bathrobe is undone."
"Really?" As if only then realizing it, Li Yanci looked down. "It really is. I didn't know until you told me."
He put down the towel in his hand, tied it casually, smiled at Shi Xi, and said, "Thank you, Xiao Xi."
Shi Xi nodded indifferently.
...
After the holiday, Shi Xi returned to the Quick Transmigration Bureau with Li Yanci.
As soon as Shi Xi entered the station, he noticed that the people around him were looking at him with a hint of gossip.
"?" Shi Xi asked in confusion.
Just as I was about to enter the mission room, I saw Cen Jing—
"Shi Xi." Cen Jing pulled Shi Xi, making a pleading gesture, "Don't tell Brother Li that I talked about how scary he was behind his back."
Shi Xi: "What's wrong with you?"
Cen Jing looked at him with admiration, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Shi Xi, you're my brother! You're amazing! You even managed to win over Brother Li!"
"Huh???" Shi Xi was shocked.
\"No.\"
Cen Jing: "A colleague saw you get out of Brother Li's car; you two went to the station together."
"...Rumors." Shi Xi patted Cen Jing on the shoulder, her face calm. "We're just roommates."
————
"Roommate?" Cen Jing asked.
"Yes." Shi Xi's expression was calm. "I had nowhere to stay, and I'm so grateful that Brother Li kindly let me rent his place."
"So he's my roommate now."
"Just roommates?" Cen Jing asked again.
"What else?" Shi Xi said, opening the door to the room. "What could possibly happen between the two of us?"
Cen Jing knew about Shi Xi's attributes, and to be honest, he had his own feelings for her.
—I even considered whether or not to be a bottom for love at one point.
After all, Shi Xi was tall, handsome, and strong. Few of the Quick Transmigration Bureau employees who participated in the same training program didn't have a crush on him.
However, after spending a lot of time with Shi Xi, Cen Jing always felt that Shi Xi had a strange sense of aloofness, as if no one could catch his eye.
Over time, he gave up on the idea.
It's nice to be friends too.
As for the newly appointed head of the "Devoted Male Supporting Characters" department, there had been rumors within the bureau that he was sexually attracted to men.
Shi Xi pointed to her head. "Rumors stop with the wise."
After saying that, he closed the door.
Just as Cen Jing was about to leave, he noticed that Li Yanci was watching him from a short distance away, her gaze icy.
"……" Cen Jing.
My legs were so weak I couldn't run.
...
"Judging from this, there's no hope for Yu Jiu'an."
"Tsk, what a bargain for someone else. But even if Elder Yu gave him the Wind Taming Base, it probably wouldn't last more than a few days."
"From this perspective, it was truly a wise decision for Elder Yu to entrust the Wind Taming Base to Si Beiling before his death."
As soon as Shi Xi entered the small world, he heard people whispering... He still had an IV drip in his hand and was lying on the bed in the sanatorium he had been longing for.
Before Shi Xi could react, her ears were covered by a pair of cool hands.
"Xiao An, don't listen." A very gentle voice sounded in her ear, "Those ignorant people are just talking nonsense."
Song Guizhou's eyes narrowed slightly as he glanced towards the doorway.
"..." Shi Xi's expression was subtle.
At the same time, the system in my mind, which had just switched to a fennec fox skin, began transmitting the storyline.
This is the story of Si Beiling, a powerful superpowered individual, and Song Guizhou, a kind-hearted healer, who meet, support each other, and eventually establish the largest base in a post-apocalyptic world to protect both superpowered individuals and ordinary people.
However, the main characters, Song Guizhou and Yu Jiu'an, were already a couple before the apocalypse!
When the apocalypse suddenly descended, Yu's father, who ran a security company and had awakened lightning-type superpowers, used his abilities to establish a medium-sized base, the Wind Taming Base.
Logically, Yu Jiu'an should have followed in his father's footsteps—
However, he was born weak and had not awakened any special abilities.
Yu's father had been taking good care of him in the sanatorium, and Song Guizhou, who had awakened a healing ability, had no complaints and continued to take care of Yu Jiu'an.
The current situation is that the Wind Taming Base has just been attacked by a wave of zombies. Unfortunately, Yu's father was infected by the zombies and committed suicide by shooting himself.
Before he died, he entrusted the Wind Taming Base, along with Yu Jiu'an, to the protagonist, Gong Si Beiling.
The current plot is that Yu Jiu'an, upon learning of his father's death, was so shocked that he fainted on the spot.
Shi Xi: "..."
I'm speechless. :)
What's the difference between being a weak and vulnerable chicken in the apocalypse and being a pea shooter in a wolf's den?! That's ridiculous.
"What kind of trash plot is this?" After reading the story, Shi Xi couldn't help but complain to Ganmaoling, "They found me a guardian right from the start, and he's the protagonist's love interest."
The fennec fox in my mind twitched its big ears and comforted me:
Try to think positively; this is a huge, powerful, and influential relationship!
Anthracene.
The golden thigh that will be with my wife in the future.
"Want this golden thigh?" Shi Xi rolled her eyes without any regard for her image.
Fennec fox [...]
[There's also a side quest this time.] The fennec fox shook its fluffy tail.
Find out who the Zombie King is! Want to take the mission? If you do, the reward will be doubled!! (′?w?｀)
In the original storyline, the zombies did not disappear until the finale, and there was no description of the zombie king appearing from beginning to end. It only explained that Si Beiling and Song Guizhou established Base B. As for whether humanity eventually escaped the apocalypse and rebuilt their home, it was not explicitly stated.
It can be considered an open ending.
"Okay." Shi Xi nodded.
Knowing what was going on, Shi Xi began to follow the plot.
He removed Song Guizhou's hand. "I'm fine, don't worry."
"It's still chaotic outside, go and get busy."
The zombie horde has just passed, and many have died or been injured. Having healing abilities can be a great help.
Seemingly surprised by Shi Xi's words, Song Guizhou looked down at her for a long time before hesitatingly saying, "...Xiao An, I'm worried about you being alone."
"What's there to worry about?" Shi Xi said.
He was lying in a hospital bed at the moment. The sanatorium was located in a remote area, and it was almost impossible for anyone to come here on a normal day.
In this day and age, anyone with even a little self-care ability is struggling to survive.
Those with superpowers go out to kill zombies and obtain the zombie crystal cores from the zombies' brains in order to exchange for as many survival supplies as possible; ordinary people who are capable go on missions with them, while those who are not capable stay at the base to work, barely able to fill their stomachs each day in exchange for a bag of biscuits or a small piece of hard bread.
In the past, with Yu's father around, Yu Jiu'an's meals were decent, similar to those before the apocalypse. Sometimes he could even get some dried apples.
But now that Yu's father is gone, he will probably only be able to eat biscuits or hard bread from now on.
Song Guizhou held Shi Xi's hand, his eyes slightly lowered, and said, seemingly embarrassed, "Xiao An, let me kiss you."
"What?" Shi Xi thought she had misheard.
"Xiao An, I didn't mean anything by it." As if afraid Shi Xi would misunderstand, Song Guizhou quickly waved his hand, then explained softly, "It's just that kissing makes the treatment more effective."
Because he was a healing type, Song Guizhou was responsible for taking care of him.
However, his healing style has one characteristic, which is...
—The closer the relationship with a person, the better the treatment effect (as stated by Song Guizhou).
Although the two lived under the same roof, Song Guizhou would only touch him occasionally, and the two of them did nothing else.
Before Shi Xi could even refuse...
Song Guizhou kissed him lightly, just a simple kiss on the lips.
Shi Xi felt something lick her lips and, startled, pushed him away, yelling, "What are you doing!"
\"hiss……\"
Song Guizhou was shoved away suddenly, his arm hitting the corner of the table, leaving it bruised and purple.
But he seemed completely unconcerned, simply smiling at Shi Xi, "Looks like it worked well, then I'm relieved."
"……"
Was he too fierce just now?
Shi Xi thought to herself.
The protagonist is a healing type. He suddenly kissed Song Guizhou just to heal his wounds, but then he suddenly remembered that he hadn't agreed to the kiss, so he was also at fault for getting hurt!
"Don't do that again next time," Shi Xi said awkwardly. "Just a touch is enough."
