Chapter 7: Slaying the Zombies, Completing the Mission
Page (1/3)
Upon seeing Ye Feng’s reply, Lin Xiaoxiao was stunned for a few seconds. Then she realized what was going on and almost cried out of anger. How... how shameless! And now there’s a price hike too!
Lin Xiaoxiao: “Thirty times? ... How can you be like this?”
But Ye Feng didn’t think he was being unreasonable at all. It was the first time, after all, and he didn’t know anything. He might even have to teach her himself... Naturally, multiple rounds of replenishment were necessary. Wasn’t that perfectly reasonable?
Ye Feng quickly typed:
“Don’t misunderstand, thirty times means I’ll pay for thirty meals... no, thirty portions of food!”
“One meal each time, and I’ll make sure you’re full!”
“If you agree, I’ll deliver the food right away!”
Lin Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment but couldn’t resist her hunger and replied:
“Although I really need food... I have to remind you, the hallway is full of terrifying zombies. Can you make it through?”
“I have a suggestion... we can pass the food using a small basket tied to a rope outside the window... how about that?”
“That way, you won’t have to take any risks!”
“Ye Feng, I’ll be grateful for the rest of my life!”
Ye Feng smirked. Lin Xiaoxiao’s scheming beads were practically bouncing off his face! Heh, she was beautiful, but her thoughts weren’t so pretty.
Ye Feng continued typing:
“I’m not afraid of danger, I want to deliver it to you personally!”
Lin Xiaoxiao: “It’s too dangerous, you should just pass it to me...”
Ye Feng insisted:
“I’m not afraid!”
“Just tell me if you’ll eat it or not!”
Lin Xiaoxiao: “...”
Silent.
Ye Feng kept typing:
“Miss Lin, actually I’ve liked you for a long time, so I’m willing to take the risk!”
In truth, his so-called liking was just a pure craving for Lin Xiaoxiao’s body.
Ye Feng: “I’m a good person, I won’t hurt you!”
“...”
After typing those few lines, Ye Feng immediately realized what had happened.
Damn, how did he turn into a simp again? Hadn’t he suffered enough in his past life?
Ye Feng, you need to be tougher!
On the other side, Lin Xiaoxiao fell silent again.
Ye Feng waited and waited, growing a little impatient.
Damn it, just give me a clear answer already!
Another minute passed.
Lin Xiaoxiao finally sent a message.
“Just once, I must be full.”
Ye Feng’s lips curled slightly.
Once? Hmph, don’t regret it later.
“Don’t worry, I promise to feed you well!”
Lin Xiaoxiao: “I live in Room 1803.”
Ye Feng: “Don’t be impatient!”
Ye Feng: “Wait a moment, I need to prepare before coming over.”
Lin Xiaoxiao: “Why?”
Ye Feng: “None of your business!”
Lin Xiaoxiao: “...”
Setting down his phone, Ye Feng exhaled a breath of stale air.
In this world, power comes first!

Naturally, Ye Feng planned to complete the task first, then fish for some benefits, and only then think about women.
The cooldown time for the shelter skill ended.
Ye Feng moved aside the clutter piled at the door, took a deep breath, and stepped out of the room.
Next came the hunting moment!
“Roar!”
“Grrr!”
In the hallway, zombies howled, blood mist swirling in the air.
But the blood mist was thin and didn’t affect human close-range vision much.
Ye Feng cautiously moved forward.
Soon, the sound of his footsteps attracted a human zombie.
Ye Feng looked up.
The zombie wore a black top and red shorts, with pale skin and bloodshot eyes.
“Roar!”
The male zombie howled, brandishing sharp claws as it charged at Ye Feng.
Ye Feng glanced at the zombie and recognized it.
When alive, the zombie had been Ye Feng’s neighbor, a middle-aged man.
In Ye Feng’s memory, they were not close, just acquaintances who nodded hello.
The zombie drew closer.
Ye Feng’s mind shifted.
He decided not to use the Chaos Thunder yet.
On one hand, Chaos Thunder was powerful but consumed a lot of energy.
Ye Feng didn’t have much energy left now.
So Chaos Thunder was better saved as a trump card against powerful zombies.
Not for routine use.
In this situation, given his current level, relying on physical strength to fight zombies up close was more cost-effective.
Ye Feng wanted to be an all-around warrior, not a fragile mage.
With a wave of his hand, Ye Feng summoned a flaming battle knife.
He gripped the blade tightly, held his breath, and prepared to strike.
The zombie entered his attack range.
“Roar!”
The middle-aged zombie kept howling, leapt in front of Ye Feng, raising its sharp claws to strike his face.
Ye Feng dodged easily with a quick sidestep.
Then, instinctively, he slashed down with his blade!
“Die!”
Slicing through like cutting jelly, smooth and effortless,
The middle-aged zombie was cleaved in two from head to toe in an instant!
Blood splattered everywhere, brains spilled out.
Ye Feng then swung the blade horizontally, slicing the zombie into four parts!
At the same time, the flame attribute of the battle knife activated!
Sizzle, sizzle!
The zombie’s body was burnt on the outside, tender inside, charred black!
From the attack to the zombie’s death, only a few breaths passed.
“So refreshing!”
Ye Feng laughed heartily.
He had never killed zombies so easily before!
“This is true, undeniable power!”
“This is what an esper is!”
“Phew!” Ye Feng exhaled lightly, his eyes full of confidence.
Ye Feng, from now on, you are no longer the weak esper who could be toyed with!
Set a small goal: become the number one superhuman on Blue Star!
Ye Feng smiled confidently.
He opened his panel.
He noticed the mission progress had changed.
[Novice Mission]: Completed
The novice mission only required killing one zombie to complete.

Ye Feng could claim the mission reward at any time.
[Daily Mission]: 1/10
Ye Feng’s heart stirred: “Mission progress updates in real time.”
At that moment, a system notification sounded.
[Notification: Event triggered!]
[Notification: Your first zombie kill brings you joy. Reward: 10 bait units!]
Ye Feng felt a surge of happiness. An event triggered?
First zombie kill, feeling happy?
Alright! That was indeed delightful!
A smile curled at Ye Feng’s lips, especially with 10 units of bait in hand, which made him even happier.
“Roar roar!”
At that moment, distant zombie howls rang out.
Ye Feng looked up.
His zombie kill had attracted the attention of two more zombies in the hallway.
Two zombies were swinging their claws, rushing swiftly towards Ye Feng.
Ye Feng’s gaze shifted.
“Although I can easily defeat zombies...”
“Still, I must stay alert; once bitten by a zombie, trouble follows!”
Ordinary people, once bitten by zombies, inevitably become zombies themselves.
First-tier espers had a chance of turning into zombies if bitten.
But second-tier and above espers could resist the zombie virus.
Ye Feng was currently a first-tier esper, so he needed to be careful.
The two zombies—a man and a woman—quickly approached.
Ye Feng recognized them.
They were the wife and father of the middle-aged zombie.
Ye Feng sighed.
“A family should stay together, neat and tidy.”
Ye Feng pointed his toes to the ground, advancing instead of retreating, dashing swiftly toward the zombies.
In just a few meters, he was on them!
As he neared the two zombies, his eyes grew sharp.
He gripped his battle knife and slashed!
The blade was fierce!
Swish, swish!
Both zombies’ heads flew into the air!
Blood splattered everywhere!
Their headless bodies collapsed heavily to the ground.
A double kill with one strike!
Ye Feng easily disposed of the two zombies.
Decapitating or destroying the zombie brain was the most effective way to kill zombies.
Ye Feng’s eyes glinted, lips curling.
In strength and speed, he had already surpassed zombies by far.
Without using esper powers, his physical condition alone could crush zombies!
Ye Feng looked at his battle knife.
After three zombie kills, the blade remained clean, shining, and sharp.
This flaming battle knife was really something!
Ye Feng looked at the two zombies, pondering.
Could there be crystal cores inside zombie bodies now?
With that thought, Ye Feng repeatedly chopped at the zombies’ heads with the flaming battle knife.
Bang, bang, bang!
Soon, he had hacked the two zombie skulls into fragments...
But found nothing!
“Looks like there aren’t any... I’ll have to wait another two days.”
Ye Feng wasn’t disappointed.
Gripping his knife, he walked slowly toward his neighbor’s house.
