“Getting a supermarket membership card here even involves completing tasks! No wonder this place is deserted… Membership cards from other supermarkets are given for free!” Song Jian couldn’t help but complain.

In reality, if you went to get a supermarket membership card and the receptionist said, “Sorry, sir, you must first complete a task: kill ten stray cats roaming the city to acquire our supermarket membership card.”

What the hell! Song Jian would definitely turn around and leave without a second thought if he encountered such a supermarket, which would probably go bankrupt soon.

However, the products in this supermarket were so appealing, what could he do?

“I’m just as frustrated!” Song Jian expressed.

With no choice, Song Jian had to leave the supermarket. There was less than half an hour left to the twelve-hour mark, and the sky was gradually lighting up. In about ten minutes or so, the sun would rise, cutting the abilities of all mutant zombies by half and making it much easier to kill them.

However, there was no certainty if this suddenly materialized post-apocalyptic supermarket wouldn’t just disappear in the next moment. When Song Jian would have completed the task, the post-apocalyptic supermarket could disappear – then what’s the point of completing the task?

Leaving the post-apocalyptic supermarket, Song Jian headed towards an unexplored residential area across Camel Square. This neighborhood consisted of six-story buildings and detached houses. It would thus be easier to search for supplies or hunt for mutant zombies here.

Even before he approached the residential area, he heard the low growls of mutant zombies. It seemed as though there were quite a few of them.

“Damn it, is it another newbie player attracting a group of mutant zombies outside? At present, these mutant zombies haven’t been weakened…” Song Jian was startled and hesitated to go forward.

Just then, a little girl who looked to be about ten years old, wearing a white dress and running with one athletic shoe, rushed out from the opposite street corner. She was heading towards the direction of Song Jian.

Behind her, there were more than a dozen mutant zombies about seven to eight meters away from her. They were baring their teeth and claws while growling lowly.

The little girl was wielding a small crossbow and was occasionally shooting at the pursuing mutant zombies.

Whoosh, Whoosh, Whoosh~

The crossbow didn’t seem to require reloading or bolts at all! She only needed to pull the trigger; the crossbow bolts fired were even more powerful than Song Jian’s pistol.

Each time the little girl turned around to take a shot, a mutant zombie with five or six crossbow bolts in its body would crumble into black ash. The dropped items were ignored by the girl who continued to sprint towards the post-apocalyptic supermarket.

Upon seeing Song Jian, the girl appeared startled, but her shocked expression quickly turned into delight when she recognized that he wasn’t a mutant zombie.

“Help me, these monsters are chasing me!” The girl’s face pleaded with Song Jian.

“Alright, alright! Don’t panic, just stay calm!” Song Jian was internally panicking. There were more than a dozen zombies approaching, and if they swarmed him, he would surely be chewed down to his bones.

Just then, it seemed like the zombies sensed something. They stopped on the edge of Camel Square, continually growling and roaring in his direction, yet they dared not venture one step further.

“What are they afraid of?” Song Jian looked around, finally landing his gaze on the post-apocalyptic supermarket, “Are they afraid of this supermarket?”

This was the perfect opportunity to exterminate them. Song Jian raised his pistol, aimed at the closest zombie’s head, and pulled the trigger.

Bang, Bang~

He killed each mutant zombie with two shots. After reloading his clip three times, he had exterminated more than a dozen mutant zombies, leaving behind a bunch of items glowing with an iridescent light.

Though it felt exhilarating, those bullets would soon be running out. Song Jian only had about fifty to sixty bullets left at this point.

These dozen mutant zombies had increased his experience bar by more than two-thirds. Killing another four or five could level him up.

“Alright, they’re all taken care of!” Song Jian flashed the young girl a small smile, announcing.

As he looked at the girl, the smile on Song Jian’s face froze. The little girl was pointing her crossbow at him, giving him the chills.

“Little, little girl, why are you pointing that at me? It won’t be good if it goes off by accident, put it away!” Song Jian softly suggested.

“You won’t kidnap me and sell me, right?” The girl asked serenely.

“No, not at all, how could I!” Song Jian wiped his sweat, responding hurriedly.

“You won’t steal my snacks, toys, or other things, will you?”

“No, I won’t!”

“You’re not like those monsters who want to grab and bite me, are you?”

“No, I’m not! I’m a player like you, not a monster!”

“Mmm, okay then.” After carefully considering Song Jian’s words, the little girl seemed to decide to believe him. She stowed away her crossbow, bowed to Song Jane, and said, “Thank you, uncle, for saving me. You’re a good person!”

Phew! The direct dismissal caught Song Jian off guard.

“Ha, Uncle, huh? Alright then. Speaking of which, was that weapon you were using silver quality? It seemed rather formidable!” Song Jain intentionally asked casually while walking towards the slain zombies.

When the little girl appeared, Song Jian’s attention was first drawn to the petite crossbow in her hands. Emitting a silver glow, it was undoubtedly a silver-quality weapon.

Song Jian had come to understand the quality tiers of equipment in the game: gray, white, green, blue, and silver. Silver is evidently the best while gray is the worst.

Anything worse than gray would be junk, and Song Jian speculated that there probably was a gold tier higher than silver. As for whether there existed equipment higher than gold, he didn’t know since he was still new to the game.

After posing the question, the silence was overwhelming. Curious, Song Jian turned around for a look, only to be scared senseless. That little girl was holding her crossbow, aiming it directly at Song Jian’s back and looking extremely cautious.

“What… what are you doing?” Song Jian blurted out in fear.

“Are you trying to steal my beginner weapon?” The girl stared at him suspiciously.

“What… How can that be? I have my own weapons, look, three of them.” Song Jian instantly felt awkward. He quickly showed her the baseball bat in his hand, and the dagger and pistol around his waist as he spoke with cold beads of sweat rolling down his forehead.

The little girl gazed at Song Jian’s three weapons for a long time, then asked with suspicion, “Is that so?”

“Of course, of course! How could I steal from a little girl, you really are…” Song Jian swallowed his spit, thinking about the silver crossbow. One glance at it and it was clear it was not an ordinary weapon. A powerful weapon with a high attack speed. If it hit him, it might kill him outright.

Damn the game for giving such a dangerous weapon to a little girl! Are you the game’s darling?
