Volume One, Chapter 20: Don’t Ask, Just Eat When Offered

Afterwards.

White Peach Blossom curled up pitifully in a corner of the bed.

Her delicate pink hand wiped away tears while she sipped mineral water in small sips.

Her heart was filled with guilt and sorrow.

She had imagined countless times the beauty of love.

Two people lying together on the sofa watching television.

Holding hands while strolling through the streets, feeling the gentle summer breeze.

At sunset, in the most romantic moment, their eyes would meet.

In the tender affection, a silent kiss would be shared.

But now, all those fantasies abruptly ended.

Apart from the male lead’s good looks, everything else was nothing like what White Peach Blossom had imagined.

It was not just a gulf of a thousand miles—it was tens of thousands of miles apart.

In contrast, Xiao Fanchen lay on the bed with a face full of satisfaction, forming the character “too” with his body.

He casually pulled out a pack of Huazi cigarettes from his clothes.

Taking out a red Double Happiness cigarette.

“Hoo—”

“Comfortable.”

Xiao Fanchen squinted, letting the poor-quality smoke linger in his mouth for a long time.

Only then did he reluctantly exhale a puff of foul air.

Under the blood-colored dust, even packaged tobacco would be corroded.

This stuff would be priceless in the future.

...

[Notification! Beauty “White Peach Blossom” has been successfully added to the collection.]

[Unlocked: “White Peach Blossom” backless sweater.]

[Wearing this outfit increases the host’s vitality by 10 points.]

[Unlocked agile-type supernatural ability: Tempered Control.]

[Resource unlocked: KFC burger and iced cola.]

[Detected collection of three beauties, additional reward: Soul Oil Lamp.]

[Soul Oil Lamp: Can dispel all evil substances within a five-meter radius.]

“Soul Oil Lamp?”

Xiao Fanchen suddenly sat up straight, his eyes blazing as he stared at the system panel.

This startled White Peach Blossom beside him.

She thought maybe she had drunk too much.

Quickly, she closed the cap on her mineral water bottle.

“What’s wrong?” she asked cautiously, afraid of upsetting him.

But Xiao Fanchen just waved his hand dismissively.

He casually redeemed a KFC burger and iced cola, placing them in front of White Peach Blossom.

Watching him conjure the burger and cola out of thin air, her beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.

She had thought the mineral water came from his clothes, but she was certain the burger and cola couldn’t be something he carried around.

The burger was still steaming hot.

The iced cola even had chunks of ice floating in it.

If they had been collected earlier, how could the ice still not have melted?

“Is this a superpower?” White Peach Blossom swallowed nervously, staring at the food before her.

For a moment, she didn’t dare take a bite and obediently awaited Xiao Fanchen’s command.

She hadn’t eaten for several days.

The moment she saw the burger, her little heart nearly leapt out in excitement.

Xiao Fanchen impatiently waved his hand.

“Don’t ask what you shouldn’t.”

“I gave it to you, so eat it. No more nonsense.”

Unable to resist any longer, White Peach Blossom held the burger and took a big bite.

Instantly, her two rosy cheeks puffed out slightly.

She looked like an adorable little hamster.

She used to disdain fast food, but now, eating it almost moved her to tears.

It was so delicious.

There was meat, bread, and vegetables.

Because she ate too quickly, she accidentally choked.

Her almond-shaped eyes widened, and her face flushed red.

Seeing this, Xiao Fanchen handed her the cola.

She took a big gulp.

White Peach Blossom truly cried.

She was just too satisfied.

The feeling was pure happiness.

Xiao Fanchen absentmindedly toyed with her silky hair, speaking softly.

“You know, I already have two women.”

“You’re the third, but you won’t be the last.”

“My women will increase, so you all are just my maids.”

“Or rather, my kept beauties. You must obey me to have a comfortable life and food in this apocalypse.”

“Understand?”

His smile appeared gentle but was actually a warning.

If she still harbored fantasies about true love, she should give them up now.

White Peach Blossom had already devoured the burger, holding the cola, and nodded lightly.

“I understand. I overheard everything next door.”

“From now on, I will call you…”

She shyly whispered,

“Master.”

Xiao Fanchen raised an eyebrow, quite pleased.

Good girl.

She deserved a reward.

Then he took out a chicken leg.

White Peach Blossom’s eyes lit up immediately.

She obediently placed her hands on the bed, knelt with her knees on the mattress,

raised her snow-white neck, and opened her cherry lips gently to bite into the chicken leg.

“Good girl. Rest for a while.”

“After this, you’ll live next door, understand?”

White Peach Blossom nodded obediently.

Afterward, Xiao Fanchen seemingly lay back down, staring at the ceiling.

In reality, he was examining the Soul Oil Lamp reward in the system panel.

It appeared as an old-fashioned handheld oil lamp.

Nowadays, such lamps were only used outdoors in camping tents for ambiance.

But unlike the usual yellow light, this one emitted an eerie blue glow.

Curious, Xiao Fanchen read the detailed description carefully.

“Soul Oil Lamp… can dispel…”

“Blood-colored dust!”

His eyes widened instantly.

Did this mean he could use the Soul Oil Lamp to walk through the blood-colored dust?

This was not just about expanding the range to collect women.

More importantly, it meant many of his plans could be implemented ahead of time!

As mentioned before, the apocalypse game had already begun.

It was currently in the phase of selecting official players.

But the high-level items in the apocalypse game had already appeared, waiting for a destined person to claim them.

Xiao Fanchen remembered deeply.

Hidden deep in the school library was an extremely rare “artifact”!

The Space Glove!

This glove didn’t have infinite storage space.

Instead, within a 10-meter radius, it could activate the power of spatial laws.

Some supply boxes that originally required close proximity to appear would now emit a faint yellow prompt light with just a snap of his fingers.

Even the best-hidden treasure chests could be seen through.

As long as he was within ten meters, he could use the Space Glove to open them directly.

Even rewards dropped by mutants could be swiftly snatched using the glove.

More importantly!

The Space Glove could be combined with many supernatural abilities.

Its power was terrifying.

It was undoubtedly one of the rarest artifacts in the early stages!

Xiao Fanchen licked his lips.

He had worried that those hiding in the library would claim it first.

After all, artifacts had the ability to recognize their owners.

Unless the owner willingly gave it away, it would vanish even if its owner was killed.

Then it would randomly reappear somewhere in the world.

But now—

Tonight, he must get his hands on that glove!
