Could it be that the Heavenly King had foreseen all this, which is why he staged today’s events?
Although Ma Kui lacked education, he excelled at filling in the blanks.
With Xiao Ma’s reminder, Ma Kui let his imagination run wild and actually touched upon so truth.
He Tiantian: "The character I set for the forr protagonist is the Chaotic World Demon King."
He wouldn’t dare call himself a heroic tyrant, after all, with the forr protagonist’s scumbag behavior, he truly didn’t deserve the word "heroic," not even in the slightest.
"In my base, as long as you work hard, you’ll have food to eat and water to drink!"
"Do well, and you can get a reward! Yes, I, the Heavenly King, will personally teach you Martial Arts, giving you the power to fight against zombies!"
He Tiantian seed oblivious to the silence below the stage, continuing her spittle-flinging speech.
However, when she ntioned "having food to eat and water to drink," the crowd no longer remained silent.
Clearly, compared to the "rules" He Tiantian had ntioned earlier, the vast majority of survivors cared more about crucial matters for their survival, like food and drinking water.
Finally, soone in the crowd gathered the courage and stamred, "Hea-Heavenly King, I’m willing to work for you, will you, really give food and drink?"
"Ah, young man, you’re quite good!"
He Tiantian seed very pleased with the support but didn’t directly answer his question. Instead, she turned to her henchman and said, "Go, fetch a pack of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water!"
Though the henchman didn’t initially grasp He Tiantian’s intention, he excelled in obedience.
As soon as He Tiantian finished speaking, the henchman sprinted to the storeroom, explained the situation to the person guarding it, signed his na, pressed his thumbprint, and then received the supplies.
Holding the instant noodles and mineral water, he hurried back.
"Heavenly King! Here are the items!" The henchman respectfully presented the items.
He Tiantian didn’t take them but instead nodded with her chin towards the direction of the young man who had spoken, "Go, give the items to him!"
The young man was ecstatic, not realizing it until a pack of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water were stuffed into his arms.
He hadn’t even done anything and had received a reward?
The young man, without overthinking, clumsily tore open the package of noodles, skipping the seasoning, and stuffed the dry noodles directly into his mouth.
Those who hadn’t experienced hunger could never understand such a desperate craving for food.
The young man loudly chewed on the dry noodles, eyes rolling back from choking, but he couldn’t bear to stop.
In the apocalypse, the first response upon acquiring food should be to shove it into one’s mouth; otherwise, ordinary people with no superpowers or much combat ability could never ensure they’d retain their food.
The young man wolfed down the entire brick of noodles, pouring even the crumbs from the package into his mouth.
Finally, the young man, satisfied, belched and forcefully opened the bottle of mineral water, gulping it down.
After drinking about half, the young man felt his shriveled stomach slightly expand, and reluctantly screwed the cap back on, hiding the half-full bottle of water in his embrace.
Well, he had eaten and drunk; now, even if Scumbag He played tricks on him or treated him cruelly, he was resigned to it!
No matter what, he was a ghost full from a feast, right!
He Tiantian: "I don’t even want to criticize the original protagonist, this beast. In just a month, he’s treated these survivors so harshly that they don’t trust him at all."
Thud!
Suddenly, the young man knelt down. Although he was prepared to be toyed with and hard, if there was a chance to live, he didn’t want to die miserably.
He looked up at He Tiantian with utmost reverence, sincerely saying, "Thank you for the Heavenly King’s generosity. Now, whatever you ask of , I—I’m willing!"
He Tiantian was really pleased with such a cooperative Tool Man.
"Not bad, you’re really quite good!"
He Tiantian thought for a mont, then casually pointed to a nearby mountain of construction debris, "I find that pile displeasing. Look, for the next week, just clear that stuff away, and I’ll reward you daily with a pack of instant noodles and a bottle of mineral water!"
"If you do well, and the Heavenly King is pleased, he might even reward you with a sausage!"
While others might have hesitated, the young man who had already tasted the benefit showed no hesitation.
He briskly agreed and hurriedly ran toward the pile of construction debris—speed was necessary, lest soone who realized what was at stake beat him to it.
After all, it was his sustenance for the next week.
Oh, and the sausage!
The young man swallowed hard. Before the apocalypse, he didn’t care for trivial foods like sausages, considering them junk food. But now, they were a delicacy he dread of!
