When the first ray of morning sun streamed through the gap in the curtains and fell on Gu Qing's delicate collarbone,
her long eyelashes trembled slightly, and she slowly opened her amethyst-like clear eyes.
A new day had begun.
"Hmm..." She instinctively tried to raise her hand to block the sun, but found her arm tightly wrapped around Lin Qianye's sturdy waist.
This realization instantly sobered her up—she was currently clinging to Lin Qianye like an octopus, her entire body pressed against him, and her long legs were unabashedly entwined.
It was as if she was afraid he would escape.
Gu Qing's cheeks immediately flushed crimson.
As a succubus, her snow-white skin had a faint pink glow.
Her long hair was spread messily across the pillow, the ends slightly curled, shimmering with a pearly luster in the morning light.
Gu Qing really wanted to question how her body had betrayed her mind.
She was a wealthy and generous beauty. Lin Qianye smiled as he watched Gu Qing wake up.
Her face and body were even more perfect than the imagination's limit.
A fairy-like succubus, any man would be dumbfounded by her.
Realizing the impropriety, Gu Qing tried to escape from Lin Qianye's side.
But Lin Qianye grabbed her slender waist. "Why are you running? Am I going to eat you or something?"
"Don't be ignorant. As a Priest, you must have your own awareness."
...It's time to go out and scavenge for supplies.
Lin Qianye, holding a fire axe, said to Gu Qing: "You hide well in the dorm, don't go out. I'm going outside to collect supplies.
If I'm not mistaken, the zombies' movements should be restricted during the day. If we don't collect enough supplies in the first few days, it will be very difficult for us to survive in the later stages of the game."
Lin Qianye left Gu Qing two boxes of self-heating hotpot, some biscuits, and a few bottles of mineral water.
His gaze swept over Gu Qing's fair shoulders and collarbone, saying, "Pay attention to your appearance, don't be so careless."
"You don't need to think I'm bad to you. The prejudice in people's hearts is a huge thunder. When you meet worse people, you'll know how kind I am," Lin Qianye said.
Watching Lin Qianye leave the dorm, the moment the door closed, Gu Qing immediately jumped up to tidy herself.
"That hateful guy... always bullying me, and now you're even kind," she mumbled.
After calming down her emotions,
Gu Qing checked her sleep dream coin earnings.
【Congratulations, Host! Based on the comfort rating, with Lin Qianye's comfort bonus by your side, this time you have produced 80 sleep dream coins. Please check.】
It actually gave 80 sleep dream coins. This hateful guy at least gave me some return.
It wasn't in vain that I acted as his human pillow for a night.
The current total balance of sleep dream coins is 105.
Gu Qing glanced at her dorm door.
【Level 1 Reinforced Wooden Door】
【Type: Building Facility】
【Level: 1】
【Durability: 150 / 200】
【Upgrade Condition: 25 units of steel】
【Upgrade Condition: 50 sleep dream coins】
Gu Qing directly used her mind to click upgrade.
sleep dream coins reduced by 50!
Immediately, the original wooden door reinforced with iron transformed into a completely iron door, heavy, textured, and full of security at a glance.
She checked the attributes of the iron door.
【Level 2 Reinforced Iron Door】
【Type: Building Facility】
【Level: 2】
【Durability: 400 / 400】
【Upgrade Condition: 60 units of steel, Level 3 Fine Steel Door Blueprint】
【Upgrade Condition: 150 sleep dream coins】
Now that it's an iron door, Lin Qianye won't be able to get in, right?
But with him, sleep dream coins would increase a lot. Should I let him in or not?
Gu Qing fell into a dilemma—with Lin Qianye by her side, sleep dream coin production would greatly increase.
But Lin Qianye would bully her.
She bit her nail, a gesture that made her look both innocent and alluring. "Should I let him in...?"
She murmured softly, her voice sweet like melted honey.
Gu Qing stretched. She definitely wouldn't go out to collect supplies.
Not to mention how terrifying the zombies outside were, even encountering other human players,
she knew what fate awaited her if her appearance—amethyst-like eyes, snow-white skin, and devilish figure—fell into the hands of other players.
Gu Qing sat on the soft wooden bed, leaning against the wall, burying her head deep in her knees, curled up in a ball.
Gu Qing wanted to hide herself. Coming to this apocalyptic survival game,
she was even bullied by a man.
After a while, she composed herself.
Gu Qing opened the chat channel. The number of surviving players had sharply decreased to over 600.
Over two hundred were gone in one night. This survival game was truly cruel.
Gu Qing hugged her knees tightly, her silky long hair falling in front of her.
Now, Gu Qing's heart was filled with a craving for sleep dream coins.
sleep dream coins could bypass resources and directly strengthen buildings and items, which was Gu Qing's greatest reliance.
She glanced at the chat channel.
【Dorm 22, Chen Dazhuang: I survived, I actually survived, Mom.】
【Dorm 233, Li Chenggong: Who can give me some food? If there's no food, some beautiful sister's 'Oli Gei' (a slang term for excrement, used here for desperate humor) would work too.】
【Dorm 677, Feng Qingyang: You'd rather eat a woman's 'Oli Gei' than go out and collect supplies? You deserve to wait for death.】
【Dorm 896, Zhao Qibing: Who can give me weapons? The rich help the poor. If I find supplies, I'll give you double.】
【Dorm 110, Ye Fan: A thrilling night, this Heavenly Emperor almost perished. Are there any kind-hearted people to give me some food? When I achieve enlightenment, I will elevate all of you.】
【Shi Hao, Dorm 39: My dorm door was almost breached. It's so despairing. I don't know what it will be like in the future.】
【Dorm 7, Li GenShuo: Are there any brothers on the first or second floor? Let's team up and go out of the dorm building to collect supplies. I saw a supermarket only a few hundred meters away from us. Are there any brave ones?】
【Dorm 111, Wang Xiaolin: I am Wa Xuedi. I'm hungry and thirsty. I'm not picky. Pretty sisters can give me their socks, all kinds of shoes. They are all tradable. No ugly ones. The system will automatically identify if it's a beauty when trading.】
【Dorm 119, Wu Chengjing: Holy cow, Wang Xiaolin, you're not dead yet? Always asking for this stuff, you're really embarrassing us men.】
...Anyway, I'm already very lucky to be able to lie flat in the dorm.
All the healing potions were 'zero-purchased' again.
That hateful Lin Qianye is truly a greedy and annoying fellow.
Gu Qing was about to go to the trade channel to see if there were any good deals to be had.
Just then, Wang Xiaolin's chat message popped up for Gu Qing.
【Wang Xiaolin: Beautiful sister, do you have any worn socks? The more 'mellow' the scent, the better. I'll trade you a 【Water Dispenser Blueprint】 for them.】
Wang Xiaolin, this guy actually has blueprints again. This Wa Xuedi, who is both righteous and perverse, is really not simple.
After thinking for a moment, Gu Qing took off her white cotton socks, which she had worn all day without washing, then opened the trade channel and clicked on it.
【Premium cotton socks worn by a beautiful sister】
【Gu Qing: "Will this work?"】
【Wang Xiaolin: "Yes, it's perfect! Although it's not stockings, I'm satisfied. Next time, stockings would be best, beautiful sister. Shoes you've worn are also fine, other clothes too."】
Gu Qing: "What a unique taste..."
Gu Qing and Wang Xiaolin completed the trade directly.
She obtained the 【Water Dispenser Blueprint】.
Gu Qing went to the crafting table and looked at the required materials.
【Water Dispenser Blueprint】
Type: Blueprint
Crafting Material Requirements: 10 units of plastic, 2 units of metal, 1 filter element, 1 water purification core.
sleep dream coins: Consume 55】
Gu Qing happened to have 55 sleep dream coins left, so she directly clicked build.
A golden flash appeared,
and a brand new water dispenser appeared on the crafting table, with a large barrel of purified water on top, looking very thirst-quenching.
【Water Dispenser
Type: Daily Facility
Level: 1
Storage Capacity: 20 liters (5 sleep dream coins can replenish one liter of water)
Durability: 30 / 30
Upgrade Condition: 120 sleep dream coins.
Description: Clean and hygienic water is key to survival in the zombie apocalypse. It's also the cleanest for personal hygiene, giving you and your partner a better experience.】
Great!
Currently, water sources are a hot commodity in the trade channel.
She could totally use this water to exchange for more supplies!
However, just then, outside the dorm door, there was a sudden sound of noisy footsteps and crude curses.
Gu Qing immediately became alert, held her breath, and tiptoed closer to the peephole.
Outside the door stood five or six ragged male players, holding various crude weapons, greedily staring at her door.
"This woman who sells healing potions actually upgraded to an iron door..." The leader kicked the iron door in frustration, making a dull thud. "It seems it's not very realistic to rush in and grab her..."
With their current attack methods, they couldn't break through the iron door's defense and durability.
"Boss, why don't we come back tonight?" another skinny man suggested.
"Shut up! Don't you have a brain? It's all zombies at night, are you coming to let the zombies eat your brain?" The leader interrupted viciously.
"The most urgent task now is to find food and supplies! The food from the girl's dorm we robbed yesterday is already eaten... I should have eaten that woman too."
Gu Qing pressed against the door, listening to their footsteps gradually fade away, then let out a long sigh of relief.
She was incredibly glad she had upgraded the iron door in advance—this door was now her greatest protection in this man-eating, dangerous world.
If she hadn't upgraded the iron door, and Lin Qianye wasn't there, she might really have been in danger.
"Why am I thinking of that hateful man...?" Gu Qing shook her head, shaking off Lin Qianye's figure from her mind.
She opened the trade channel and posted a message:
"200 ml of purified water for various supplies, prioritizing high-value items."
Instantly, Gu Qing's private chat channel exploded.
【Dorm 65, Chen Dalong: Beautiful sister, can you give me some for free? I have eight-pack abs, I'll send you pictures.】
【Dorm 55, Qian Baiwan: Give me a few bottles of water, and when we return to the real world, I'll give you ten billion!】
【Dorm 23, Zhou Chenggong: I'm a student, can you give it to me for free? Beautiful sister, you're the best, I'm dying of thirst.】
Gu Qing: "...You guys are all sick, aren't you? It's been so long, and you still haven't recognized the essence of this survival game? Still thinking of getting things for free?"
