Chapter 14 Dog Luck!!
Chapter 14 Dog Luck!!
The sun was already high up in the sky, its light shining bright all over the world.
It was a brand-new day for all!
The wind was cool as it brought a cool breeze to all of those living and nonliving.
It was a hot afternoon, the sun shining at its brightest.
It was supposed to be an hour of rest for our protagonist but instead, she decided to have a date with the beast in the forest for her to Level up.
She neither has a man nor a fling, she is a single dog who died a virgin in her previous life.
Even so, the knowledge that she got from reading numerous novels already made her a qualified grown-up woman who knows about man and love.
Do you ask why she is a single dog until now?
She just doesn't have time!
Why doesn't she have time?
Well, she is aiming at the top!
Love in the Apocalypse world can be deadly.
Love the wrong person and you are dead, but if you choose the right person then you have the world.
But love for her right now is unneeded, she needed strength to survive in the Apocalypse.
Love?
She is so damn gorgeous, cute, and beautiful!
Who would not want her?!
Alright.
Gay people!
But, to those straight men. Who would not want an overly gorgeous lady like her?
Shameless? But it's true!
It's not true love if you are just selecting randomly?
Are you fucking kidding with me?!
Who will choose a man who only loves her half-heartedly?
She is not a fool!
Even if it's the Apocalypse, one must still choose trustworthy people if you don't want to die in your sleep.
Much less, a partner!
If she really could not find a man who truly loves her then she'll just create a harem of handsome beautiful men! LOL!
Being together can be just a game if they wanted to, it's the Apocalypse anyway.
Like, if you like me, I like you.
If you hate me then I discard you.
Isn't that easy?
-Forest-
Walking alone in the forest, she looked around to find some wild beast to challenge with nothing but a knife in hand.
While Du Hexi and Mu Hexin hide on top of the tree to look after her if there is any hidden danger or danger enough to threaten her life.
They were ordered not to interfere as long as she is not in critical danger, she needed battle experience to forge her battle sense and intuition.
She must experience a real battle for her to get stronger. If she always relies on other people to protect her, doesn't she seem pathetic?
So, this battle is for her to win.
*Crack!*
Soon enough, she heard the noise of someone stepping on a branch and she quickly look in that direction and saw a Tiger!
It was looking at her ferociously with those hungry yellow eyes, eyeing her as if she was a delicious piece of juicy fat-walking meat!
Looking eye to eye, the two of them walked in circles.
Each one sizes the other to see who is stronger.
Finally, the Tiger decided to jump at Hua Meili as it could not wait any longer.
She quickly dodges out of the way and held her knife tightly in her hands. Her knuckles whitened from holding the handle of the knife tight.
Rolling out of its way again when it came charging towards her again, she looked back to see its large body swiftly jumping towards her.
Alarm bells rang inside of her head seeing the enormous body of the tiger almost in front of her.
She messed up her timing just now and gave her back to the tiger!
"Miss!"
Seeing the tiger opening its mouth wide about to bite into Hua Meili, the two butlers were ready to interfere if she won't be able to escape.
Anyway, they are not real humans. Even if a chunk of their flesh goes missing, they won't die.
Quickly thinking of a plan instead of being rattled, Hua Meili's eyes sharpened as she looks ahead to the fast-approaching tiger.
With a swift motion, her body evaded the fatal attack, and was even able to land a stab in the body of the tiger near the neck with her knife.
But because of its fast reflexes and danger senses, it immediately counterattacks and tried to scratch her with its sharp nails instead.
Hua Meili parried its nails with her knife and grab another hidden dagger and stab it at the Tigers neck.
The Tiger jumped back, looking at its opponent warily but it was already too late for a comeback because the dagger that Hua Meili used to stab the Tiger was laced with poison.
Lacing poison on your own weapon is one of the many things she had learned while reading novels and this somehow saved her life.
Immediately the poison showed its effect and the Tiger slowly slowed down until it could no longer move.
Hua Meili smirked and leisurely walked towards the Tiger, she raised her sword bringing it down and killing the Tiger.
[Congratulations for killing the Wild Tiger, Host!]
[You have earned 50 experience points!]
"What? Only 50 points?! XiaoXiao, explain!" Hua Meili demanded from her cute adorable System.
She can't simply accept these small points! This is just too low.
How can she level up fast if she only got 50 points for the beast she killed and the EXP that she needed to earn keeps on increasing?
What to do?!
[Host, the Wild Tiger is really only worth 50 points! It was only 50 points because it was just an ordinary animal but if it's a mutated beast then Host will surely get many experience points. I swear to Host!]
XiaoXiao who was being blamed unreasonably by its Host could only vow solemnly as it lifted up its imaginary right hand and cross its imaginary heart.
"Really? But if this keeps up, I can't be a Phase 1 before the Apocalypse! Tsk, life is unfair, it has always been. Since I have a lot of cheats then I won't quarrel with you any longer, since cheats have an equal exchange of suffering."
Hua Meili sighed and just continued hunting some wild animals to train her body and raise her level and experience.
She knew that the world is cruel to those who are talented. She can only suffer quietly in bitterness.
Hua Meili continued hunting like this for the past week, even though slow she slowly gained more and more EXP in her bar.
But still, she didn't forget to practice making Talismans and somehow, she is getting better and better at making it.
"Whew.... this is the 10th for today. Since I already finished the quota for today, I should probably now go home and have a rest."
Stretching lazily, Hua Meili looked at her Status Menu and could not help but smile wryly.

*CRACK*
Having her senses sharpened and intuition for danger honed to be almost on par with some military man for battling wild beasts in the forest for the past week, she knew that danger was coming.
The moment she heard a sound and the gust of the wind, she quickly dodge and roll to the ground and took cover behind a tree.
She cursed as she looked at that sneaky s*n of a b*tch opponent of hers that had the courage to dare sneak an attack on her.
A big black bear that had a very ferocious expression looked at her with its red hungry eyes. Its eyes were so red that she thought that it was bleeding.
'Did this bear do drugs? '
[Host, be careful. That bear is a mutated beast that got out of hibernation!]
XiaoXiao quickly warned its Host seeing the tag above the bear that said, *In the process of evolution*.
"Oh, sh*t just got f*ck! I must have stepped on dog shit before coming here for having such bad luck! Meeting a mutated beast while on a hunt, turning from hunter to prey. But how come this bear mutated first? The first day still has not star---Sh*t!"
Hua Meili jumped back and side steps out of its reach.
She was about to call her Shadows when she heard XiaoXiao say some words and then decided to fight this one out.
[Host! This bear just got out of hibernation and is very weak.]
[If Host would be able to kill this bear then I'm sure that Host will gain many experience points! The host should try defeating it, no, Host should defeat it!]
"XiaoXiao, are you sure you're not sending me to death? Sigh, since it's an EXP bottle then I have no choice but to kill it to quickly Level up! Tell me how much chance do I have in defeating it?"
[Based on XiaoXiao's calculation, there is a 50-50 chance that Host could defeat this bear. If Host plays the right cards then Host would definitely win.]
"50-50 huh? Since it's like that then, maybe I could somehow miraculously defeat it. And since I have such a powerful opponent, I should use my trump card."
With a turn of her hand, a yellow talisman appeared in her hand.
The three-inch-wide and eight-inch length yellow talisman in her hands had a word written on it with black ink, the word was, {Restriction}
The Talisman flew and expanded and binds the bear with it like a rope the moment Hua Meili threw the Talisman towards the bear.
The bear struggled and tried to tear the Talisman off but the Talisman won't just tear off despite it being only Level 2.
'XiaoXiao really was correct, this bear is really weak.' Hua Meili cheered in her mind, her confidence increasing.
Not wasting any more time, she quickly ran towards the bear and stab its heart with her sword with joy to earn an almost free EXP!
The bear let out a strangled cry for one last time before it died.
"Phew, that's a wrap!"
Hua Meili beamed brightly as she wiped the sweat that unknowingly formed on her forehead.
*Crack*
*Crack*
*Crack*
*Crack*
"Sh*t!"
