Not immune

Ji Yanyu sat on the ground, his soul almost leaving his body, not only does he have excess energy to dispose of, he also have a debt he unknowingly owed.

He weakly looked at the floating mass of fur, "..S-say, 69, how many points do I get for each.. intercourse?"

[ That depends on the quality and quantity of your partner, Host! Of course, the system also assess the props, items, or potions used that can add bonuses to the overall point allocation ^^! ]

Ji Yanyu saw the growing apprehension, but he still asked with hope, "Do you systems peek at your hosts' during those times..?"

[ Host! That's unethical! We do not promote any invalidation of moral rights! Us systems are very keen when it comes to privacy, most of all when it involves anything intimate, please rest assured that there will no such thing in every assessment! ]

Ji Yanyu who didn't know he will automatically enter a contract if he absorb the light particles, and was given an item that cost 555 points without knowing what it was in a dire situation: ??

[ Host~ what are you talking about? Those are business tactics! Business tactics ^^ ]

Haha.

Not wanting to deal with the problem after a tiresome day, he checked the module that he had bought in haste. It's an upgradable trait that if used often, would increase the duration of the stat bonuses.

That includes the increase in speed and the strength, as well as the unwanted aftereffect.

As of now, it seems he managed to avoid being subjected to the experience of being in 'heat', something he doesn't have an idea about.

Ji Yanyu spent his days in the grocery with bliss, there were no zombies, no human intruders, and a huge amount of supplies to consume.

Right now, he was looting the storage room of the grocery after getting the key from the electric room where the surveillance footages and the other dead staffs are apparently located.

The storage room was full of boxes containing various supplies, fortunately, the boxes has labels for easier identification. Ji Yanyu only chose those that he knew already existed in his system space.

He would occasionally go out and practice killing zombies to improve his physic.

Most of the time, he will sit on a corner and think about the space ability he should have while eating foods he cannot bring in his space to his heart's content.

Five days passed then, on the morning of the 8th day, there was rain and a huge noise at the backdoor of the grocery store. Ju Yanyu kept his back tense as he cautiously hid near the door where the ruckus came from.

No one had come here since he had arrived, but he isn't sure if the people outside are the ones he is expecting.

After all, it is inevitable for others to think of rummaging around something as big as a grocery store.

More than a week had passed, and there were still no assistance from the military or the government, food from various homes might've already ran out, and keen people might've already realized the situation of the apocalypse.

It was only a matter of time for the society to change.

[ Host, should I check who is outside? ]

Ji Yanyu who was quite nervous looked at the bright ball that seems to have gone a tad brighter. He was a bit skeptical, "You can do that?"

[ Of course, host! I'm after all, a mighty system! No one else but my contractor can see me! ]

"Really? No payment?"

[ Am I that money-grubbing in your eyes, host..? 0π0 ]

Ji Yanyu avoided the imaginary eyes of system 69, and simply humbly asked for assistance. If it's not the male lead, then there's no reason to risk himself.

Fortunately, it seems like system 69 really has other uses other than providing services in one area. After confirming that the group outside isn't what he was waiting for, he didn't bother hovering around the door.

He went back to where he originally hid, the counter with hidden spaces that can't be easily located due to its location–

"Xiao Xu, how many can you keep?"

"Uh, I think I can keep a few more, Boss!"

"Keep those cigarettes and alcohol. Get the most expensive ones!"

Or nevermind.

Ji Yanyu felt his lips twitch, he didn't expect that these group of people would prioritize psychoactive drugs over protein full foods, and coincidentally, that's exactly where the counter he is currently hiding at is

Crouching down under a counter, he painfully stared in front, desperately wishing no one will see him.

System 69 blinked its furry eyes and kindly suggested, [ Well, do you want to see if there's anything that can help, host? ]

"No."

Ji Yanyu resolutely refused, as much as possible, he doesn't want to owe a lot, not when he haven't even seen his lifeline.

And as if fate loves to play tricks, a person that he assumes is 'Xiao Xu' stood in front of the area where Ji Yanyu was hiding, carefully choosing expensive looking cigarettes.

It was wishful thinking, but Ji Yanyu still prayed not to be seen. As much as possible, he really doesn't want to have any contact with anyone. Who knows what trouble it will bring him?

Meanwhile, XIao Xu was internally fuming, not only did he have to be tied down to a group he dislike, but he also have to store everything he was ordered to in his own 3x3 meter space!

Who in sane mind would choose to lavish on useless stuffs that can't make anyone full during the apocalypse where supplies would become scarce??

Isn't this the chance to stack up? Sighing, Xiao Xu calmly stored almost half of the alcohol and cigarettes under the watchful eyes of his boss.

Feeling the piercing gaze behind him, he could only sweat and complain inside, it's not like he can run away, why look at him so intensely?

With a swift turn, he went eye-to-eye with a crouching human ghost. 

Xiao Xu: ?

No, why is there a realistic mannequin ghost here?

"B-boss.. t-there's something here..!"

Yes. If there are things Xiao Xu can't face head on, it would be anything that appears in horror movies. That includes ghosts and zombies!

Ji Yanyu flinched and wanted to cry, no shit, is this what having a mid-tier luck feels like??

Thus the current reason why he is now sitting on his knees in front of a buff man with five human entourage.

The boss looked at the person with a tight frown, his voice gruff and displeased, "Who are you?"

Ji Yanyu answered politely, his face full of seriousness without a hint of lie, "A resident nearby, Sir,"

"Name, age, occupation, are you an ability user?"

?

Is he on a work interview??

Ji Yanyu thought hard and with a harmless expression, trying to construct a question without appearing unwilling, "Well, may I know who you are first?"

"Hmm, I see. It's my mistake," The gruff man nodded his head in acknowledgement, although Ji Yanyu doesn't understand why but since it's going well, he decided to follow through.

"I am an ability user, I can increase my strength and my speed. An average car? I can lift them easily! A zombie? Don't worry, I am as fast as a cheetah on a run! With me, everyone is safe–"

As if to refute his words, a car came crushing onto the grocery mall, the glass shards flew towards the muscle man and his comrades.

Being seated, Ji Yanyu was not extremely affected, but that doesn't mean he will stay down nonchalantly! With a noise that big, he couldn't imagine how many zombies were attracted!

He hurriedly stood up and walked a distance away from the car that heavily broke through the glass wall.

Fortunately, it wasn't thoroughly broken, and despite the numerous zombies that followed the sound, not a single one could find a gap to enter through. 

After all, the car was halfway stuck, half of its body was outside and the other half was poking inside, effectively acting as a blockade.

Ji Yanyu doesn't know how could that be done, but all that matter now was that he would be temporarily left unharmed.

The people inside the car went out one by one, the first person that came out was someone with long legs, slim waist, well-defined body, and an incredibly.. incredibly.. attractive face..

Erm, why does he feel a bit dizzy?

"H-hey, why is your nose bleeding??"

Ji Yanyu saw Xiao Xu and gave a gentle smile, his thoughts mellow and extremely light.

'Boy, I am not immune to those of lethal beauty.'
