Is This Really a Good Thing

Shen Yiyue watched as the middle-aged female zombie charged towards her.

Choosing the most reliable method, she tripped it with her leg, then stepped on its fallen body and beheaded it with a single strike.

The long blade pierced into the zombie's brain, swiftly ending its life.

She remained calm throughout, showing no signs of fear.

Ning Yu watched her, recalling the first time they met in the warehouse, when she was in a state of panic. Now, she had grown a lot.

【You have killed an ordinary zombie, gaining 10 points】

???

Ning Yu was momentarily stunned as she heard the system's notification of points increase.

But it wasn't her who killed the zombie; it was Shen Yiyue.

Could it be...

She glanced at the long sword in Shen Yiyue's hand, which cost 1500 points.

Was it because the weapon from the system was used to kill the zombie that the points were credited to her?

Was there such a good thing?

Ning Yu's mind raced, and she immediately thought of a strategy.

If she exchanged for many weapons and distributed them to countless people, wouldn't she be able to earn countless points just by lying around?

Instant wealth freedom, earning points while lying down?

However, this flawless system had never allowed her to exploit a bug successfully.

So she turned to Shen Yiyue with a smile and said,

"Sister Yue, let's do an experiment."

Shen Yiyue wiped the blood splatter from her face and listened to the silver-haired little loli's plan, as usual, without asking why.

She then moved away from Ning Yu, 100 meters, 200 meters, 300 meters, and started killing zombies.

The zombies in this area were scattered, so Shen Yiyue faced them one by one, with no significant danger.

【You have killed an ordinary zombie, gaining 11 points】

【You have killed an ordinary zombie, gaining 12 points】

.....

Finally, after moving about 500 meters away, the notification of Shen Yiyue killing zombies and gaining points disappeared.

Ning Yu showed a look of "as expected," waving from afar to call Shen Yiyue back.

The silver crossbow on her arm slowly disappeared; there had been an arrow already loaded, summoned to protect Shen Yiyue's safety in case of an emergency.

This crossbow now only had one arrow left, but there were refill packs in the 【Weapons】 store, and Ning Yu planned to exchange for a few more when she had more points.

Although the experiment revealed that this method of gaining points had a distance limit,

it was still a good thing. At least she didn't have to let Shen Yiyue leave the last strike for her every time.

That would be too troublesome.

The two continued their practical training, with Ning Yu trying to have Shen Yiyue deal with 2, 3, or even 4 zombies at once.

She stood guard beside Shen Yiyue, ready to intervene immediately if she missed any defense.

Shen Yiyue also knew this, feeling very secure next to Ning Yu, fighting with a focused mind.

She inexplicably felt a sense of happiness, a joy in her growing abilities.

She finally had the ability to walk in this post-apocalyptic world, a relative degree of freedom, all thanks to Ning Yu.

By noon, Shen Yiyue had killed quite a few zombies, and her combat skills were becoming more fluid and skillful.

Ning Yu was very satisfied; she didn't need to act, yet she still earned points and trained Shen Yiyue, a triple win.

The two found a roadside grocery store and decided to take a break there.

It was evident that the place had been looted, with everything in disarray.

Ning Yu searched the kitchen for a long time and found some expired canned goods in a corner of the cabinet, still edible.

She planned to eat those and didn't immediately use the food in her storage space.

When food could be found on the spot, it was preferable to eat it first, and the items in the storage space were reserved for times of food scarcity.

However, Ning Yu was always strict with herself. She looked at Shen Yiyue, who was also hungry, and asked,

"Sister Yue, do you want some chips or bread?"

Shen Yiyue was taken aback, glancing at the dusty canned goods in Ning Yu's hand, immediately understanding.

She smiled, feeling sweet, knowing the silver-haired little loli was concerned about her.

But she wasn't the kind of pampered person, so she said,

"No, I'll eat the same as you!"

Then she took a can from Ning Yu, wiped off the dust, and opened it.

These were fruit cans, with peaches, strawberries, and oranges.

Seeing so many different flavors, they opened all the cans and each ate some.

Just as they finished, the door of the grocery store was pushed open.

The door, having been visited many times, was already broken.

Ning Yu reacted the fastest, drawing her crimson blade and quickly aiming the crossbow at the door.

Shen Yiyue also gripped her long sword.

A man and a woman, both in their mid-twenties, entered.

Their clothes were relatively clean, without bloodstains, and they supported each other like a couple.

They clearly hadn't expected anyone inside, and upon seeing the tense atmosphere, they froze.

Seeing the silver crossbow and two swords, they raised their hands, indicating they meant no harm.

Although they were two cute girls, their weapons and bloodstains were no joke, and the couple understood that.

The man spoke first,

"Sorry! We didn't expect anyone inside; we mean no harm!"

Shen Yiyue glanced at them and said,

"What do you want? If you have nothing to do, please leave; this place is occupied."

She looked at the woman being supported by the man, who seemed weak, with cracked lips and a listless expression.

The man hesitated, wanting to speak but also glancing nervously at the girls' weapons.

He turned to leave with the woman, but stopped at the door and turned back again.

Ning Yu and Shen Yiyue remained on guard.

The man gathered his courage and finally said,

"Excuse me... do you have any water? We can trade something with you!"

"My girlfriend is very thirsty; she hasn't had water for a long time. Can we trade for some water?"

Ning Yu looked at the man; his skin was cracked, his eyes tired, probably not much better off than his girlfriend.

【Task required charm value: 1, host charm value: 9, qualified.】

【Ding! Task triggered: Exchange the resources the man desires】

【Task reward: Random attribute point * 1】

A pleasant notification sounded in her mind, making Ning Yu happy.

Great, there was indeed a chance to trigger a task when there were people around.

Seeing Shen Yiyue's inquiring look, clearly seeking her opinion, Ning Yu nodded slowly.

Shen Yiyue immediately understood and asked,

"What do you have to trade with us?"

The man, hearing the question, knew there was hope and showed a look of great joy.

He first helped his girlfriend sit down to rest, then quickly took off his backpack and started taking out things.

Flashlight, phone, blood-stained steel pipe, candles, all sorts of miscellaneous items, and finally two packs of biscuits.

He hesitated before taking out the biscuits.

Those were probably their last food, but they had no choice for water.

Unfortunately, none of these were useful, and the two packs of biscuits were of poor quality, the packaging wrinkled.

Ning Yu's space was full of better items.

"We don't need any of these."

This time, Ning Yu spoke.

Shen Yiyue showed a look of pity beside her, knowing that without water, these two would die soon.

But she didn't say anything, everything following Ning Yu's lead, hiding her kindness in her heart.

The man's expression darkened, full of despair, slowly picking up the items on the ground.
