Chapter 100 Try Harder (4 more updates)

Ah?Come over for dinner? Isn’t this my house...

Gurgle.

Fang Yu’s stomach growled.

Fang Yu didn’t care anymore, closed the door, and quickly sat back down.

Just as he settled, he heard Sister Jin say, "Won’t you serve me a bowl of rice?"

Fang Yu looked up and saw Sister Jin playfully blinking at him.

...This is not normal.

Sister Jin is not normal!

She is synonymous with fierceness!

Why has she become gentler recently?

Danger danger danger!!

Now is not the time to upset her.

He stood up to get the rice and handed it to Sister Jin.

Fang Yu finally managed to sit down and eat.

He shoveled the rice into his mouth and stuffed braised pork into it.

Chewing heartily, the flavor spread across his taste buds, Fang Yu showed a satisfied expression.

He finally had a mouthful of hot food.

Sitting opposite him, Sister Jin supported her chin with both hands, smiling with squinted eyes, doing nothing but watching Fang Yu eat.

Sister Jin remembered the past life, when the apocalypse had just descended.

Monsters flooded the city.

Back then, she was protected by Fang Yu and hid in this tiny room.

Outside, blood flowed like rivers, inside was a safe quarter.

Through the room’s window, they could see humans being killed every day.

From time to time, there would be knocking, cries for help, and banging sounds outside the door.

It was unclear whether it was monsters disguising, or real cries for help.

She shivered in the corner of the room, knowing nothing, understanding nothing.

Not knowing how many troubles she’d caused or how many issues she’d stirred.

But in the end, she was always protected and tolerated by Fang Yu.

"That year, the first year of the era of doom. It was called the darkest, bloodiest year in human history."

"But for me, it was the most peaceful year of my life."

"I began to learn how to identify demons."

"I started to grow stronger and keep up with Fang Yu’s pace."

"But what I miss the most, is still that first year of the apocalypse."

"Every night the demons hunted, he and I squeezed into the small room, waiting together for dawn to arrive."

"The room’s peculiar musty smell and his habit of placing things, he hasn’t changed a bit, so adorable!"

"In my previous life, I cowered in the corner trembling in fear every day, hardly had the opportunity to sit down with him like now and comfortably have a meal."

"I didn’t expect, after being reborn, this small wish would be so easily fulfilled."

"Ah! There’s a grain of rice on his mouth."

Sister Jin suddenly stood up.

She reached out her hand, touched the corner of Fang Yu’s mouth, and wiped away that grain of rice.

This completely shocked Fang Yu in place.

"What, what’s wrong?"

"Nothing."

Sister Jin put the grain of rice in her mouth, her ears slightly blushing.

But she didn’t notice, the Fang Yu facing her had widened eyes in terror, like a frightened cat ready to jump up.

Damn!

What happened?

Did I do something wrong? Sister Jin isn’t going to kill me, right??

Sister Jin’s behavior being so unusual, can only mean she’s out to get me!

Fang Yu, with his intellect comparable to a stone man, pondered all the things he had done in the community.

There seemed to be nothing serious enough for Sister Jin to jump up and kill.

"Sis, Sister Jin, did I do something wrong..."

"Did you make some money in the game?" Sister Jin suddenly interrupted.

"Ah?"

Fang Yu realized.

"Yes, yes, yes, I made money! This game is definitely promising! It won’t fail like last time!"

Fang Yu quickly patted his chest to assure.

Sister Jin just smiled and then frowned slightly.

A bit early.

In the past life, when did Fang Yu suddenly pay me rent after making some money?

It seems like it was two or three weeks after the game launched?

Sister Jin can’t quite remember.

But she does remember that at that time, Fang Yu had faced setbacks in the game and had argued with her again.

It wasn’t until nearly the end of the month that he made some money.

Because of that argument, Sister Jin still has some impression of Fang Yu’s early gaming journey.

After all, when he came to pay the rent later, Fang Yu personally apologized and mentioned something about the game.

Unfortunately, at that time, she completely disregarded Fang Yu and never thought that she would become so dependent on him in the future.

"This life’s Fang Yu is having a smoother growth in the game."

"This is a good thing, but these slight changes also make me a bit uneasy."

"Could these small accumulations of changes alter some events I remember?"

"If I lose the advantage of rebirth, my speed of becoming stronger will slow down, and I won’t be able to protect Fang Yu!"

"Now is not the time to relax!"

Thinking this, Sister Jin suddenly got up and walked outside.

"Sister Jin?"

Fang Yu was stunned on the spot.

"Aren’t you eating?"

Sister Jin stopped, turned around, and smiled at him.

"Yeah."

If love lasts long, does it matter whether it’s day after day?

In the past life, only at the apocalypse did I understand my true heart.

Every day hanging by a thread, how dare to disclose even a bit.

That step I never had the courage to take.

This life, she wants to try harder.

Back in her room, Qi Xiaojin directly logged into the game.

In the game, she opened her eyes.

Before her, was a human-height barrel and Old Man Yao, who had been boiled for a full day and night.

In the hollow underwater cavern, it was utterly quiet, only the sound of the firewood crackling.

During this day and night of boiling, the old man’s features had blurred and stuck to his skin.

His body gradually shed its skin.

Peeling off the layer known as human skin, it gradually revealed the shape of a white radish.

But it could still make sounds.

"Release me! Release me!! I am the Old Man Yao from Ranfeng Medicine House, the supreme Old Man Yao!!"

It yelled at Qi Xiaojin, but Qi Xiaojin just calmly stood up.

With a wave of her hand, a green light emerged, merging into the barrel.

Splash!!

The water turned green, boiling and burning.

Completely burning Old Man Yao into a white radish, even making him voiceless.

"Demons, they are medicine."

"Medicine strengthens the body, enhances the spirit."

"Little Demon, little benefit."

"Great Demon, great benefit."

"This radish is worth ten years of arduous cultivation."

"But..."

Qi Xiaojin’s jade hand plunged directly into the white radish.

Splash!

Green light burst forth, the white radish shrank as if refined, melting, and finally turned into a tiny white pearl.

"You’re still useful."

She took out an almost identical pearl, but colored blood-red, from her hand.

She slowly merged them together.

Suddenly, her body shuddered, red steam emanated from her.

Her expression darkened.

Qi Xiaojin sternly shouted.

"Go back!"

Sizzling—

The red steam dissipated, and the item in Qi Xiaojin’s hand had also completed its fusion, turning into a small yin-yang colored pearl.

She slowly closed her eyes, sensed the power contained within the Yin Yang Pearl, and then carefully put it away.

Then, she slowly spoke.

"Just this once."

"If you dare do this again, I’ll pull it out and ruin you!"
