"Sis, ever since the apocalypse broke out, Dad, Mom, and I have been trying hard to find you. Now that we finally see you’re safe and sound, I’m really happy."
Chu Yaozu looked at Chu Jiangyue, and his words seed sincere, but Chu Jiangyue still saw a hint of calculation in his eyes that he couldn’t hide.
"Oh, I see."
But hoping to get any benefits from her was absolutely impossible.
Over more than ten years, she had seen through her parents and this cunning brother.
No matter what thods they used, Chu Jiangyue would no longer go easy on them.
Chu Yaozu’s expression slipped for a mont when he didn’t hear the response he wanted.
"If you have sothing to say, just say it. Don’t block the road here."
Chu Jiangyue hated it the most when people beat around the bush for ages and never get to the point.
"My account is out of money. I need to buy so warm clothes for the cold. Send so money."
As expected, Chu Yaozu was still the sa as always—an energy vampire.
"I told you already, I won’t acknowledge you guys. If you want to continue living at the hotel, find your own way to earn Crystal Cores.
If you want to buy sothing, solve it yourself. Don’t co to ."
After saying this, Chu Jiangyue walked around Chu Yaozu toward her place of residence.
"Chu Jiangyue! You... I’m the only son of the Chu Family! You dare not give money!"
Chu Yaozu couldn’t withstand any grievances. After being embarrassed by Chu Jiangyue, his true colors quickly showed.
Chu Jiangyue turned around, and with a flick of her hand, a vine wrapped tightly around Chu Yaozu.
"Chu Jiangyue, how dare you tie up! Aren’t you afraid I’ll tell Mom and Dad!"
"Go ahead. Now... you should be the one worried. Don’t move. The more you move, the tighter it gets."
Chu Jiangyue smiled brightly as she spoke.
But in Chu Yaozu’s eyes, it sent a shiver down his spine.
Only now did he truly feel that Chu Jiangyue didn’t want to take care of them anymore.
"Sis, sis! I was wrong, please let go!"
Chu Yaozu was a coward who bullied the weak and feared the strong. Before, because Chu Jiangyue was underage and couldn’t do much, she had been tolerating them at ho.
The original plan was to shake off the family’s entanglent after going to college, but she didn’t expect their repeated calls asking for money.
If she didn’t give it, they would spread rumors about her to everyone.
Chu Jiangyue had once again renewed her understanding of the heartlessness of these parents.
For the sake of her reputation, Chu Jiangyue could only pay.
Who would have thought the apocalypse would break out suddenly?
In her previous life, after she died, she didn’t et them, but in this life, she did.
No one knew if it was because of a change in the plot’s influence or her rebirth that everything had changed.
But none of this mattered; Chu Jiangyue wouldn’t change her decision either way.
She didn’t release Chu Yaozu imdiately but tightened the vine until his face turned red and he could hardly breathe before she loosened it.
"Next ti you see , rember to go around."
Chu Jiangyue retracted the vine and looked at Chu Yaozu coldly.
Although Chu Yaozu was unsatisfied in his heart, upon thinking about Chu Jiangyue’s superpower, he decided to swallow his pride.
He, Father Chu, and Mrs. Chu were all ordinary people and were no match for Chu Jiangyue now.
However, thinking about how Chu Jiangyue, whom they considered useless, had a superpower and he, the sole proper son of the Chu Family, hadn’t even felt a hint of one, left him feeling uneasy.
But with his life in Chu Jiangyue’s hands now, he could only push down those thoughts.
"Host, why didn’t you just kill him with that great opportunity?"
Little Fox couldn’t understand Chu Jiangyue’s reasoning.
’Although I could kill him, it’s not good to commit murder in broad daylight.’
If she could win without bloodshed, why dirty her hands for soone irrelevant?
"Indeed, the host thinks thoroughly."
Little Fox, being a Spiritual Leader, couldn’t fully understand these complexities.
But since Chu Jiangyue said so, it trusted her, focusing on believing in its host.
Having dealt with Chu Yaozu’s disturbance, Chu Jiangyue quickly returned to her dwelling.
The Jianglin Hotel was gradually becoming populated, with all sorts of people mixing together, but everyone with tacitly followed the rule of not offending Chu Jiangyue.
If Chu Jiangyue was displeased and blacklisted them, it would be genuinely not worth the trouble.
[Random Quest: Host, please head out to complete a Rescue the Mutant Panda mission. Reward: To be unlocked]
Chu Jiangyue had just returned ho and hadn’t even had a chance to sit in the living room when she received a random quest, instantly sitting up straight.
’Little Fox, what’s going on? Why a sudden random quest?’
This was unexpected for Chu Jiangyue.
Moreover, the quest didn’t say where to go, so how could she proceed?
"Random quests are optional, but I still suggest the host complete them. After all, these random quests, like hidden quests, offer generous rewards."
Even Little Fox didn’t expect a new quest to arrive suddenly.
It thought the host would have to wait until the comrcial district quests were concluded before opening new ones.
Besides, it was just a task to help Mutated Animals; Little Fox felt it shouldn’t be too problematic.
’Alright then, I’ll set off now.’
The task didn’t have a ti limit, so Chu Jiangyue planned to first scout the area, understand the situation, and then decide whether to act alone or gather hotel guests for the mission.
Little Fox perched on Chu Jiangyue’s shoulder, riding along as she stepped outside.
Inside the Jianglin Hotel, many noticed Chu Jiangyue driving out and speculated why she’d leave just days after returning.
After all, Chu Jiangyue usually wouldn’t leave unless necessary; her character was to stay at ho unless it was unavoidable.
Since she didn’t gather people around, the curious chatter soon died down.
But for Chu Jiangyue, suddenly driving out alone felt sowhat unfamiliar.
’The quest didn’t ntion where to rescue the panda. Should I just drive aimlessly?’
"Host, open the quest and click on navigation."
Having issued the quest, the system, of course, wouldn’t make such a rookie mistake.
On Little Fox’s advice, Chu Jiangyue followed suit, finding the "Navigate" option next to the mission.
Without hesitation, Chu Jiangyue clicked it, and a very familiar large arrow appeared, brightening her eyes.
With navigation, she wouldn’t have to worry about finding the place.
Following the directions, Chu Jiangyue quickly arrived at City B’s Panda Research Base.
However, upon reaching the base’s entrance, Chu Jiangyue found herself speechless for a mont.
