Gu Qing pressed against the corner, her back tight against the cold wall, her heart-shaped tail curling up uneasily.
Lin Qianye's scent, a mix of blood and his body odor, made her both nervous and afraid.
"W-wait a minute!" Gu Qing pushed her hands against Lin Qianye's sturdy chest.
She could clearly feel the firm contours beneath the fabric. "We can talk about terms!"
Lin Qianye raised an eyebrow slightly, a hint of playfulness flashing in his aggressive, star-like eyes.
"Terms?" His voice was low and magnetic. "Do you think you're in a position to negotiate now?"
Gu Qing felt her tail uncontrollably wrap around his arm, a betraying physical reaction that made her die of embarrassment on the spot.
She tried to suppress the panic in her heart, but under his burning gaze, she had nowhere to hide.
"I told you, I'm a gentleman, a good person. What are you afraid of?"
Lin Qianye's gaze slowly swept over her, from her eyelashes trembling slightly with tension, to her chest rising and falling with hurried breaths, and then to her uneasily swaying succubus tail.
This woman was stunning, inspiring a pure, fiery love.
"As a Priest, you will regularly provide me with healing potions in the future, and in exchange, I can protect your safety to a certain extent."
Lin Qianye's voice suddenly softened a few shades. "I'm your next-door dorm resident. I promise not to force you to do anything else, so don't worry."
Seeing Gu Qing's aggrieved expression, Lin Qianye suddenly reached out and ruffled her head.
This intimate gesture made Gu Qing freeze.
She instinctively wanted to dodge, but he pinched her chin.
"Don't worry, you just need to ensure your duties as a Priest." Lin Qianye curved his lips. "I keep my word. Is that expression of yours unwilling?"
Being treated so flippantly by another man, Gu Qing felt a ridiculous sense of shame.
But her current body instinctively produced some kind of shock, leaving her both angry and powerless.
"You're a gentleman? A gentleman who likes zero-cost shopping and being a robber, right? You're such an idiot!" Gu Qing cursed through gritted teeth in her heart, but didn't dare to speak it aloud.
She could only stare with her watery eyes, trying to express her dissatisfaction through her gaze.
Damn guy, bullying me again, then saying he didn't do anything to me, and acting like it's a given that he protects me and I become his supplier.
Lin Qianye looked at Gu Qing's small expressions, finding them both cute and alluring.
He smiled faintly, then suddenly drew a dagger from his waist.
Gu Qing's pupils constricted, thinking he was going to hurt her, but Lin Qianye handed the dagger to Gu Qing.
"The world has changed. This chaotic dorm survival game can really kill people. I hope you can quickly accept this change.
A dead person can't provide me with healing potions as a Priest. Alright, you hide well in the dorm. I'm going out to scavenge for supplies. I see you're collecting some crafting materials, and I happen to have them all."
Lin Qianye said, and with that, he traded two units of steel, five units of cotton, and one unit of cloth to Gu Qing.
Only after Lin Qianye left did Gu Qing breathe a sigh of relief.
She was really afraid that Lin Qianye would make a big move, like 'nothing ventured, nothing gained'.
Anyway, Lin Qianye gave her some resources in return.
Gu Qing went to the crafting table and opened the crafting page.
【Softwood Bed Crafting
Requires: 20 units of wood, 1 unit of steel, 5 units of cotton, 1 unit of cloth】
Gu Qing clicked craft directly.
【Hint: You have obtained a Level 1 Softwood Bed】
【Softwood Bed:
Level: 1
Type: Furniture
Durability: 45 / 45
Effect: Increases comfort by 20 points
Description: This is a basic softwood bed that can provide you with a good sleeping experience】
Gu Qing then looked at the dorm door, first repairing its durability.
Currently, upgrading still required some units of wood and one unit of steel.
After Lin Qianye's zero-cost shopping spree, all of Gu Qing's basic healing potions were taken by him, making it impossible to exchange for the remaining materials.
【Precarious Wooden Door】
【Type: Building Facility】
【Level: 0】
【Durability: 100 / 100】
【Upgrade Conditions: 40 units of wood, 2 units of steel】
【Upgrade Conditions: 15 sleep dream coins】
Then, Gu Qing directly took out her pillow, lay on the softwood bed, and prepared to try to get sleep dream coins.
So far, sleep dream coins were another way for Gu Qing to increase her strength.
Gu Qing really didn't want to become a man's 'car'.
The pathetic and humiliated state she was in under Lin Qianye today, Gu Qing truly didn't want to experience again.
Be your supplier? I'll be your idiot!
The more Gu Qing thought about it, the angrier she got.
Then she saw her status bar.
【Residual aura from Lin Qianye, comfort +10】
What is this?
Gu Qing expressed that she really wanted to thank this system.
She opened the communication channel.
Now the communication channel had become very chaotic,
because many players had posted photos and videos of people dying, and many had broken into other people's dorms, posting videos of turning women into 'cars'.
Some even posted beheading videos; the unlucky victims who were beheaded died terribly.
Bloody chaos was unfolding, and cold despair was the reality's narrative.
This was the true apocalypse; death was dancing, and the evil of human nature was fully displayed.
"So many murders, I don't want to die, and I don't want to be 'real' by a man." Gu Qing felt inexplicably nervous.
A woman's body would unconsciously undergo some physiological changes due to fear.
Besides that, Gu Qing also gathered some other information.
In this dorm survival game, there were a total of one thousand participants.
The dorm building had 20 floors, with 50 residents per floor, mixed genders.
Every resident's Speech in the trade channel and chat channel would display their dorm room number.
This was the greatest malice of this survival game.
Therefore, many people who cursed at each other in the communication channel were 'real' by the other party coming to their door.
There were many girls asking for help in the communication channel, and also many girls hoping to find a strong backer, the kind that would let the other party do whatever they wanted.
All kinds of people, this was the apocalypse.
Many supplies could be collected in the building, and it was said that there were also lucky treasure chests to open.
The main gameplay currently was to take risks and go out to collect supplies.
Gu Qing cleared her mind and fell asleep on the small bed.
The tension and fear upon waking, coupled with being bullied by Lin Qianye, had exhausted Gu Qing, and she was truly tired now.
【One hour until the zombies arrive. Good luck, players.】
Had she slept for so long?
Gu Qing stretched her graceful body; her S-shaped curves would make any man who saw them feel a criminal impulse.
So comfortable. After a sleep, I feel full of vitality again.
I checked the chat channel, and many more violent incidents had occurred. The killing of player by player never stopped, and the number of remaining players was only 880.
I checked the durability of the door; thankfully, no one had attacked my dorm door.
Gu Qing checked her sleep dream coin harvest.
【Congratulations, Host. Based on the comfort rating, this time you have produced 40 sleep dream coins. Please collect them.】
Gu Qing's thoughts quickly slid across the virtual screen, depositing 15 shimmering sleep dream coins into the dorm door's upgrade option.
With a "ding" sound from the system, a light blue halo glowed around the dorm door frame.
The thickness and sturdiness of the original old wooden door increased.
It looked heavier and safer, and the door panel was even wrapped in a layer of steel.
【Dorm door upgrade complete】
【Current Level: Level 1 Reinforced Wooden Door】
【Durability: 200 / 200】
I still have 25 sleep dream coins left. Let me see what other items I can upgrade next.
Gu Qing moistened her lips with her slender succubus tongue, feeling a renewed sense of hope for the future.
"I can't keep being so passive..." Gu Qing clenched her fists. "I must become stronger,
I must survive in this cruel game,
not be someone else's toy, but control my own destiny."
Bang, bang, bang.
"Gu Qing, open the door. It's me, I'm home."
Lin Qianye's slightly tired voice came from outside the door.
"...Brother, don't you have your own dorm? Can't you go back to your own place? What do you mean by coming here?" Gu Qing expressed some fear.
