The familiar panel popped up again:
[Host: Ning Yu (♀)]
[Height: 150cm]
[Physical Strength: 6]
[Mental Power: 3]
[Charm: 8]
[Items: None]
[Skills: None]
[Points: 320]
Physical strength started at 1 point, plus the initial 3 points gifted, and 2 points from the novice mission.
It totaled 6 points.
This far exceeded what this little loli's body could normally display.
What were the mental power and charm below?
Ning Yu clicked on the detailed explanation for mental power:
[Mental Power: An attribute that can improve the host's memory, brain endurance, emotional control, sense of direction, danger intuition, and other mental-related abilities.]
It sounded like a very important attribute, especially in this apocalyptic world where constant movement was inevitable.
Whether one's mental state was sufficient would crucially affect combat performance.
Moreover, it could enhance important auxiliary abilities like sense of direction, memory, and danger intuition.
She curiously clicked on the detailed explanation for charm:
[Charm: Can enhance the host's appearance, increase affinity when interacting with others, and also affects the threshold for triggering missions.]
Enhancing appearance and affinity seemed only moderately useful to Ning Yu.
But the last part, "affects the threshold for triggering missions," was extremely important.
So far, the rewards from system missions had been excellent.
If she could trigger and complete more missions, earning more points,
she would be able to become stronger more quickly.
Fortunately, the little loli's innate charm was already at 8, which was very high compared to her physical strength and mental power.
Ning Yu found a [Points Store] button at the bottom of the panel.
Looking at her 320 points obtained from the novice mission and killing two zombies,
she opened the diverse store panel, which was divided into three sections: [Supplies], [Weapons], and [Special].
In the [Supplies] section, she could exchange points for drinking water, food, common daily necessities, etc., although the prices were quite steep.
For example, [Clean Apples (3): 350 points]
Or [Military Compressed Biscuits (1 box): 800 points]
If killing a normal zombie gave 10 points,
it would take killing 35 zombies to exchange for 3 apples, or 80 zombies for a box of compressed biscuits, which didn't sound very cost-effective.
Clearly, points weren't meant for daily food and clothing, but rather for emergencies.
And Ning Yu was currently in a small supermarket, so she wasn't lacking these things for now.
So rather than supplies, she was more interested in weapons.
She clicked on the [Weapons] section, which surprisingly had everything from cold weapons to firearms:
[Fine Steel Dagger with Blood Groove: 1000 points]
[Sharp Long Sword: 2000 points]
[DL-676 Silenced Pistol: 4999 points]
[RPG-7 Single-Soldier Rocket Launcher: 9999 points]
Wow, even rocket launchers, such powerful weapons, could be exchanged.
These weapon models all seemed unfamiliar to Ning Yu, probably unique models from this system.
Overall, as long as she killed more zombies and triggered and completed more system missions,
she could exchange points for more self-defense weapons.
Finally, Ning Yu clicked on the [Special] section, which currently only had one item available for exchange:
[Low-Level T-virus Immunity Capsule (3 hours): 500 points]
She immediately clicked on the explanation for this immunity capsule:
[Prevents T-virus infection through blood and air transmission for 3 hours]
[Only effective against low-level T-virus (including all variants), can be used repeatedly, maximum twice per day. (Ineffective for already infected individuals)]
The T-virus must be the virus that turned those two criminals into zombies.
It was probably also the culprit behind this zombie apocalypse.
Ning Yu began to analyze the implied information in this description.
According to this, the T-virus could mutate.
There might be even more terrifying things than ordinary zombies appearing in the future.
At this stage, this immunity capsule was still very useful.
When going out to search for supplies, you wouldn't have to worry about being scratched or bitten by a zombie ambush, or getting infected from zombie blood splashing on your wounds.
If zombies lost their ability to infect normal people, they would at most be like dogs that bite, with combat ability even inferior to normal humans.
Taking this medicine was basically like cheating, right?
Of course, a horde of zombies was a completely different matter.
You wouldn't even have time to get infected; you'd be bitten clean to the bone.
In general resource searching and exploration, as long as zombie hordes were avoided, this capsule had great potential.
It was indeed a rare and valuable item.
However, looking at her 320 points, Ning Yu realized she couldn't afford anything.
She let out a sigh of poverty.
But soon, she was attracted by the [Weekly Special] section in the corner of the panel.
Was this prepared especially for those short on points like herself?
Clicking to take a look, there was only one item on sale, with a countdown timer ticking down to the end of the week.
[Titanium Alloy Sleeve Crossbow (with 3 retrievable bolts): Original price 3000 points]
[Current price 300 points, Discount: 90% off]
Ning Yu's heart leapt with joy; she could just afford it, with 20 points left over.
This kind of crossbow that could be hidden in the sleeve was an excellent ambush weapon.
Moreover, unlike firearms, it wouldn't make a huge noise that would attract zombies.
These bolts would be perfect for sniping individual zombies.
And the bolts could be retrieved, just pull them out of the corpse after use.
Ning Yu didn't hesitate at all and bought it immediately.
It seemed this [Weekly Special] needed to be checked regularly in the future, as there might be more good deals like this!
Soon, a new item appeared in her inventory panel.
[Item: Titanium Alloy Sleeve Crossbow (3 bolts)]
Ning Yu clicked on the sleeve crossbow in the inventory, and a silver-white mini crossbow appeared on her right hand.
Three bolts were ready to fire; it could actually shoot three times consecutively.
Feeling the cool metal touch on her right hand, Ning Yu decided to find an opportunity to test its power.
Clicking on the sleeve crossbow in the inventory again, the crossbow disappeared from her right hand.
It had been reclaimed into the system's space.
This was very convenient for combat, taking it out of the space when needed and putting it back when not.
It wouldn't increase her burden.
Ning Yu nodded with satisfaction.
She also tried the dagger she had swiped from Xu Qiang, but unfortunately, it couldn't be stored in the inventory.
It seemed only items purchased from the system could be placed in the system inventory.
After browsing through the entire system panel, Ning Yu looked at Shen Yiyue, who was still wrapped in a towel beside her.
She was busy eating a fruit pudding, looking quite adorable.
As if remembering something, Shen Yiyue also looked up at Ning Yu and timidly asked:
"Oh right, I forgot to ask..."
to panic—he has a system. As long as an investment target dies, he can claim a reward. And since he is immortal, the one thing he has plenty of is time. ... Countless years later. “Immortal Emperor of Longevity? I invested in him.” “Supreme Celestial Venerable? I invested in him.” “Undying Empress? I invested in her.” “...” “Heh.

uld barely embark on the path to immortality. Just as he was on the verge of death, his golden finger awakened. No matter whether it was poison, drained blood and vital energy, diminished lifespan, or any other physical debuff caused by paying a price—once midnight passed, everything would be refreshed. From then on, whenever someone asked what kind of person Chu Ran was, the answer was simple: Forbidden arts that other cultivators dared not learn? Chu Ran would learn them. Prices that even demonic cultivators dared not pay? Chu Ran would pay them. Lifespan that even righteous cultivators dared not burn? Chu Ran would burn it. All the blood essence in his body? Take it. Want both his hands and feet? He would cut them off and send them to you. You say he’s finished? He wasn’t built to sit idle. You think he’s gone mad? No—he was simply waiting for midnight. From that day onward, Chu Ran would respect neither Heaven nor Earth, bow to neither gods nor ghosts. He had only one wish: For midnight to arrive a little sooner.
ts me of treason?" "Correct. The host must return to the capital and gradually build up influence." "Wait—I have half a million soldiers, and you want me to go back to the capital to 'build influence'?" "Host, you are currently the Northern Garrison General, loyal to the Great Xia Dynasty." "Of course I am loyal to Great Xia! Absolutely loyal!" "But you keep referring to yourself as 'We'..." "Never mind the details! Summon all the regional commanders and military officers! We suspect treacherous officials are manipulating the court! They shall march with Us to the capital and purge the corrupt!" "......"
