I need to quickly switch to a material acquisition bed, get sleep dream coins, and upgrade my dorm door.
Otherwise, if my dorm door gets breached, my regret will be useless.
Just imagine my innocent self, after my dorm door is broken... that scene.
Gu Qing was terrified just thinking about it.
As Gu Qing put two bottles of 【Beginner Healing Potion】 up for sale, someone quickly messaged her privately.
It seems these healing potions, which can restore injuries, stamina, and spirit, are very popular.
Dorm 100 Liu Ruyan: "Sister, my newbie gift pack gave me 15 units of wood, a pillow, two loaves of bread, and a bottle of water. Would you exchange them for a bottle of healing potion?"
"I was chased by zombies while exploring, almost lost my life, and fell when I ran back. Now my ankle is swollen and it hurts so much. Please help me, I beg you."
"We are all sisters, let's help each other in the future."
Gu Qing looked at Liu Ruyan's private message: "Okay, let's trade."
Soon, the other party initiated a trade request, and Gu Qing accepted it instantly.
Liu Ruyan put in 15 units of wood, a pink cotton pillow, two loaves of bread, and a bottle of water.
Gu Qing put in a bottle of Beginner Healing Potion.
Trade successful!
Looking at the materials from the trade, Gu Qing breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems trading is viable and can acquire resources.
Gu Qing looked at the new items in her backpack.
【Wood 15 units: Description: Basic material for upgrading dorms, flammable, relatively fragile.】
【Soft Pillow:
Type: Daily necessity.
Durability: 30/30
Effect: Increases comfort by 15 points.
Description: A soft and fragrant pillow that can help you and others have a better experience.】
What does 'others' mean?
Male or female... Looking at the description, Gu Qing always felt that this comfort level was a bit suggestive.
For a succubus like me, increasing comfort—are you trying to make me develop in the direction of a dao companion advancing together?
Gu Qing looked at the Level 1 crafting table in her dorm.
Crafting a bed requires 20 units of wood, 1 unit of steel, 5 units of cotton, and 1 unit of cloth.
The materials weren't enough, so Gu Qing had to continue finding people to trade with.
At the same time, in Dorm 100, the mature beauty Liu Ruyan opened the cap of the healing potion.
Her eyes widened slightly—this was no ordinary item.
It was smooth on the palate, with a faint sweet aroma and an indescribably delicious taste.
"What exactly is this... so delicious? Can potions really taste this good?" Her beautiful eyes swirled, lost in thought.
Liu Ruyan was a top-tier beauty; as the peerless Ruyan the Great, her looks and figure commanded absolute authority.
Her temperament was also top-notch.
She was endlessly savoring the taste... Many survivors sent Gu Qing a lot of junk messages.
The content was nothing more than those things.
Wanting freebies or trying to flirt with Gu Qing because she was a girl.
Gu Qing looked at the pile of messages, feeling very speechless.
Gu Qing understood these rude and malicious words, but she was very angry.
In the apocalypse, human hearts had become twisted.
Her succubus's unique heart-shaped tail twitched restlessly.
There were very few legitimate traders; everyone wanted to see legs, chests, and...
It's the apocalypse, can't you calm down, hey!
What are you all thinking about?
Gu Qing's trades gradually made progress, acquiring another 20 units of wood and other materials, but not a single unit of steel could be obtained.
Perhaps it was because they had just entered the game and weren't hungry yet, or they simply didn't have the materials to trade.
Suddenly,
Bang, bang, bang!
Just then, Gu Qing's dorm door was furiously kicked several times.
Gu Qing was so scared her tail went rigid; someone was here!
"Listen, little girl inside! If you don't open the door, I'll smash it down and let you taste what real cruelty is!" A coarse voice accompanied another loud bang.
Gu Qing leaned over gently and peered through the peephole, seeing a scarred, burly man nearly two meters tall standing outside the door.
His bare upper body was covered in scars, greasy hair stuck to his forehead, and his baseball bat still had suspicious crimson stains on it.
He looked like a big bear; just by his appearance, he was someone who could utterly destroy her.
A system prompt appeared at the opportune moment:
Gu Qing saw the information floating above his head.
【Severe body odor, bad breath, foot odor, comfort -50】
This comfort level was negative; if he were allowed in, the consequences were obvious.
Just imagining the terrible scene that was about to unfold, Gu Qing felt a bit desperate.
A beauty like her, once in a man's hands, the other party probably wouldn't sleep for three days and three nights.
Damn it, what should I do?
The burly man continued to smash the door, kicking and hitting.
Each impact made Gu Qing's heart pound.
Gu Qing immediately opened the trade channel, hoping to urgently exchange healing potions for some weapons, at least to increase her self-defense capability.
"Gu Qing, right? I know you're in there, still trying to trade for weapons. Let me think, how did you get those healing potions? So you're a special breed, huh, hahaha, I've really hit the jackpot."
The burly man at the door seemed to be watching the trade channel, or perhaps he found Gu Qing's dorm number from the trade channel.
In the trade and chat channels, every player used their real name, which exposed their name and dorm number.
This point was simply too treacherous; it was purely inviting people to come knocking.
Gu Qing glanced at her pathetic little wooden door.
【Precarious Wooden Door】
【Type: Building Facility】
【Level: 0】
【Durability: 80/100】
【Description: Because I was assaulted by a dirty and hateful burly man, I've lost a lot of durability. Please repair me quickly!】
Gu Qing immediately spent 4 units of wood to repair it.
Watching the wooden door's durability increase, the burly man at the door was visibly angered:
"You damn bitch, you dare to repair the door! When I get in, if I don't... I'll take your surname!"
"I'm telling you, I've traded for a lot of wood. You'd better get lost, I'm not afraid to wear you out," Gu Qing warned.
"Damn, that voice! I can't even imagine how good it would sound reading aloud. I'm even more motivated now!" The burly man at the door heard Gu Qing's voice and became even more frantic and accelerated his attacks.
Damn it.
Gu Qing hadn't expected her voice to also boost the other party's fighting spirit; she needed to pay attention to this detail in the future.
I shouldn't have spoken.
Just as Gu Qing was scared, a scream came from outside the door.
Gu Qing quickly looked through the peephole.
She saw the scarred burly man's head split in two by a fire axe, red and white splattering everywhere, and his body fell limply.
A handsome young man in black appeared in Gu Qing's sight.
When the man looked up, Gu Qing clearly saw his face.
He had a clear and elegant profile like a traditional Chinese ink painting, with eyes like cold stars beneath sword-like eyebrows.
His nose bridge was high, and his thin lips were pressed into a cold, straight line.
The black combat uniform accentuated his perfect broad shoulders and narrow waist, and the knuckles of his hand gripping the axe handle were distinct, with veins bulging on the back of his hand, full of power.
"Tha—" Gu Qing's thanks were cut short as the man suddenly swung the fire axe, hacking fiercely at Gu Qing's dorm door!
"Bang!" Wood splinters flew, and a huge gap appeared in the door panel.
The man pressed his handsome, almost demonic face against the gap in the door panel, like the protagonist from The Shining.
His sharp gaze swept over Gu Qing's entire body.
Lin Qianye looked at Gu Qing inside the room, his pupils involuntarily constricting.
【Intelligence Scroll, already used. According to the information obtained, the target is a talented survivor, with the talent of a Succubus Healer Priest.】
"A Priest class? She's really... unfairly attractive," Lin Qianye thought, then he said coldly, "Open the door, or I'll just smash it down."
Gu Qing looked at the label above Lin Qianye's head.
【Handsome, Sunny, Persevering to the point of no return, Eight-pack abs, Comfort +69】
Gu Qing hesitated for a moment but still opened the door. With him holding the fire axe and his attacking ability, her wooden dorm door simply wouldn't hold up.
As Lin Qianye entered the room, carrying the blood-stained fire axe, Gu Qing unconsciously retreated.
Gu Qing had a feeling she was inviting a wolf into her house.
Fortunately, this guy looked pretty good. Being 'repaired' by him and becoming a dao companion would be infinitely better than that ugly guy before.
Gu Qing had already prepared for the worst.
Forget it, don't think about it, don't think about it.
Gu Qing lowered her head, not daring to look at him, trying to minimize her presence.
"Do you have anything to eat? I'm a bit hungry."
Lin Qianye looked around Gu Qing's dorm, which, like his own, was bare and empty.
"Only two loaves of bread and a bottle of water, and healing potions. They're all yours, just don't hurt me, okay?" Gu Qing said nervously.
This man was very dangerous. Gu Qing racked her brain for a solution but found nothing.
She seemed to have no ability to resist at all.
A healer encountering a warrior wielding an axe—how could she fight?
"Interesting ability."
Lin Qianye had awakened the talent ability 【Invigorating Body】.
This talent currently allowed him to triple all his attributes, but the corresponding consumption also tripled.
So he was extremely hungry now.
"Give me all the food, and the healing potions too. The properties of this healing potion should allow me to recover my attributes quickly." Lin Qianye looked at Gu Qing with surprise.
Her talent ability was simply too good.
If he controlled her, he would always have potions to use in the future.
He would no longer have to worry about exhaustion due to excessive consumption during combat.
Then he directly cornered Gu Qing against the wall.
His long arm propped up beside her ear, they were so close they could feel each other's warmth.
Gu Qing dared not resist.
Lin Qianye sniffed Gu Qing, his deep voice carrying a dangerous implication: "Don't be afraid, I'm a good person."
Gu Qing looked up, meeting his deep eyes.
"I'm not afraid..."
"Then why are you trembling?"
Because of her transmigrator's soul, Gu Qing could understand the other party's possible behavioral logic.
But understanding was one thing; having such a thing happen to herself,
Gu Qing still felt it wasn't quite right.
Just after transmigrating, she was immediately cornered by a man.
Gu Qing was very flustered.
