"In a world like this, how could you think soone who runs a hotel is weak?"
Beside Shen Zhigui, a guy with glasses spat back rcilessly.
Only Shen Zhigui watched Chu Jiangyue slaughter zombies with precision, lost in thought.
Chu Jiangyue killed zombies all along the way, distributing flyers, only returning when she felt her body starting to tire.
However, on her way back, she encountered so annoying obstacles.
"Brother Wen An, it’s her! She kicked this morning! You have to get revenge for !"
Liu Yiyi stood with a man, blocking Chu Jiangyue’s path.
「Host, host, this man is the male lead Zheng Wen’an! Can you be a bit more gentle when making a move? He can’t die just yet」
This dinsion has just entered the apocalypse, and at this unstable mont, if the male lead dies, the whole dinsion won’t be far from total collapse.
『Can’t die for now, aning... he can die later?』
「I-I didn’t say anything...」
Little Fox realized it might have slipped and quickly covered its mouth, unable to speak properly.
Chu Jiangyue showed no intention of pressing the issue, just slightly curled her lips.
Male lead?
Doesn’t look that impressive, not even as good-looking as Shen Zhigui.
"Don’t block the way."
Chu Jiangyue tightened her grip on the Tang Blade; as long as this male lead didn’t block the way, she could let it go.
"Yiyi said you kicked her several tis, you must apologize to Yiyi!"
"Apologize? Why don’t you ask what she did?"
Zheng Wen’an frowned slightly, "Yiyi never lies, if you don’t apologize, don’t bla for being rude!"
Zheng Wen’an has always been a praised character, the first ti losing face today made him uncomfortable.
Seeing Zheng Wen’an’s manner, Chu Jiangyue truly doubted the dinsion’s choice of a male lead.
"If you don’t clear the way, then... die!" With that, Chu Jiangyue raised the Tang Blade aiming for Zheng Wen’an’s neck.
「Host, the male lead can’t die!」
Zheng Wen’an had so skills, sensing the approaching Tang Blade, his heart racing, he quickly dodged to the side.
Chu Jiangyue’s goal wasn’t to hit Zheng Wen’an; it was to make him give way.
So when Zheng Wen’an dodged to the side, Chu Jiangyue swiftly lessened her force, bypassed Zheng Wen’an and Liu Yiyi, quickly striding a distance forward.
A zombie lunged forward; Chu Jiangyue swiftly ended it with a strike.
Finally returning to the hotel, it was already evening.
After six, Chu Jiangyue locked the hotel door without any psychological burden and went to her room upstairs to wash up.
After slaying zombies today, Chu Jiangyue washed herself several tis before feeling truly clean.
Erging from the bathroom, an hour had already passed.
「Host, you almost killed the male lead today!」
It was frightened, if the male lead was gone, it’d be thrown back into manufacture!
And it just ca out of the factory, barely fresh!
"Who said I wanted to kill him? If I didn’t act tough, how would he give way?
Just look at this male lead, who chose him? Are you sure your eyes are working?"
「...」
Silent mode engaged...
"Speechless now, huh? I told you, your choice for a male lead is problematic.
Look at Shen Zhigui, no! Even Shen Zhigui’s bespectacled crew is more reliable than Zheng Wen’an!"
Liu Yiyi is such a two-faced manipulator, and yet he declared: Yiyi never lies!
Geez! Really, I’m dying of frustration!
「Host, stop it! It’s not like I chose the male lead, I didn’t know he’d be this type」
Little Fox felt it might need a complete reboot.
"No problem, no problem, if the male lead doesn’t cut it, we have the female lead; maybe she’ll be decent?
If the female lead kicks the male lead out, surely that’s not our fault, right?"
Seeing Little Fox near a breakdown, Chu Jiangyue hurried to comfort it. It’s just the beginning; everything’s still uncertain.
「You... you’re right! I must find the female lead as soon as possible!」
The male lead truly is... beyond hope!
Little Fox felt chilled to the core now.
Only the female lead could heal its wounded spirit.

Apocalypse Day 2.
Chu Jiangyue slept in, waking naturally at half-past nine, still not ti for her designated work hours, leisurely rising to freshen up.
When she headed downstairs, she found several people standing outside the hotel?
This is...
Chu Jiangyue opened the hotel doors, and a crowd poured in eagerly.
"Is it true there’s stead buns and at buns?"
"I heard from the big guy next door, the flyer said it’s true?"
"I have money! I’ll buy whatever stead and at buns you have!"
...
The crowd’s chatter was so loud that it gave Chu Jiangyue a headache.
"Stop! Quiet down! Line up one by one; those who don’t will bear the consequences!"
Chu Jiangyue used her deep lung power to calm the crowd.
"Anyone wanting to buy, co here to recharge, once you’ve recharged, I won’t stop you from buying as much as you like."
Anyway, they buy as much as they want, she’ll profit; there’s no shortage in supply.
The first in line was a tall and skinny guy, looking expectantly and produced a... battered iron bowl.
Pre-apocalyptic beggars may have had newer bowls for begging.
Yet Chu Jiangyue said nothing; her flyers ntioned accepting scrap tal, but never stated how much copper coin they’d fetch.
[Detected one scrap tal bowl, offering 1 copper coin seems too much. Exchange for 0.5 copper coin? Yes/No]
This was the first ti Chu Jiangyue saw the Exchange Device being snarky, and it felt quite refreshing.
"0.5 copper coin? Are you kidding !"
The tall guy showed a nacing face, glaring at Chu Jiangyue.
"Didn’t you see? Scrap tal bowl, even 1 copper coin seems excessive, you’re getting 0.5 since you’re a new custor.
Exchange or not? If not, take your stuff and go, others are waiting!"
"Yeah, yeah, you brought a wrecked bowl, the owner isn’t a fool!"
"Exactly, exactly, tried to scrimp but failed; frustrated out of embarrassnt!"
Apocalypse recently started, survivors retained so humanity, criticizing the tall guy’s actions.
The tall guy scowled at Chu Jiangyue, in the end chose yes; 0.5 copper coin is still currency, the Exchange Device also gave him a first-charge Identity Card.
Failing to gain any advantage, the tall guy quietly produced valuable items for exchange after taking the Identity Card.
[Detected low-purity tal chunk, exchange available for 200 copper coins, yes/no?]
"This is a gold chunk! Pure gold! How could it only be worth 200 copper coins? It’d fetch more at the market!"
Before the apocalypse, gold prices were rising; he hung onto it waiting for higher prices.
Told now that such a large gold chunk was only worth 200 copper coins!
The disparity was enormous; how could he accept this!
"All pricing adheres to the Exchange Device; if the custor finds the amount unsatisfactory, they may choose not to exchange."
With a sellers’ market, Chu Jiangyue wasn’t pressed for exchanges from him.
