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..."

s the Eldest Princess, renowned for her cold and aloof detachment, became the most docile of lambs, obeying his every command without question. But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever." Gu Chenghan froze abruptly. She... hadn't been hypnotized?! ... [The Eldest Princess's Diary] [When my soul was extracted, becoming the sole spectator outside my own shell] [At first, there was overwhelming fury, until I saw] [How he used my sword to effortlessly shatter my inescapable doom] [How he wielded my authority to eradicate fatal conspiracies I had never even detected] [Like a deity, he rescued me from the deep mire I was trapped in] [If not for those annoying vixens, he and I would be a match made in heaven] [I think I am ill, gravely ill] [My deity should belong to me alone] ... "Hypnosis? Oh, it succeeded, my dear Master." "Only this time, it's my turn to hypnotize you."

end. Thus one must continue to cultivate, and become a saint or great emperor, in order to prolong one's life. Chen Xia, however, completely reversed this. Since his transmigration, he has gained immortality, and also a system that awards him with attribute points for every year he lives. Thus between the myriad worlds, the legend of an unparalleled senior appeared. "A gentleman takes revenge; it is never too late even after ten thousand years." "When you were at your peak I yielded, now in your old age I shall trample on you." - Chen Xia

esick Sect? Well, at least it's considered a respectable orthodox sect. Wait a minute— What kind of vibe are you all giving off? Shouldn’t this be a love-struck, romance-obsessed sect? Why does everyone here sound more like demonic cultivators? "Master, today he’s getting married. This disciple wishes to descend the mountain and crash the wedding, then toy with him to death right in front of his wife..." "Elder, I only got into your sect through connections, so why won’t you teach me anything?" "Because I also became an elder through connections." Thankfully, Su Ji was just an outer sect labor disciple. Surely, nothing too crazy would— "Junior Brother, you’ve broken through to Qi Refining. Once you sever your useless spiritual root, you can officially become an outer sect disciple." "The Great Dao is merciless. Don’t let a worthless spiritual root waste your essence and spirit, hindering your cultivation." Is this really the Lovesick Sect? ... Three years later, Su Ji sat in the seat of the Lovesick Sect’s sect master, sighing with emotion. His rise to this position all started when his junior sister adamantly insisted on preserving his "spiritual root." "Mmm... Senior Brother, what’s our relationship now?" "Stop talking. Keep going." "By the way, that newly promoted top-tier sect—didn’t they come to buy our Love Beans?" "One top-grade spirit stone per Love Bean—is that really so expensive?" "I suspect they’ve eaten too many Love Beans." "Now they’re lovesick." Well, this really is the Lovesick Sect after all.

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
