Chapter 32: 030 Game System
After dealing with the Bald, the siblings didn't drive straight home but headed to the nearest gas station. They had prepared some gasoline in advance, but not much, only about twenty tons worth, all packed in gas cans, taking up a lot of space. If it weren't for the Qingmu Spiritual Mansion, the Fang Family wouldn't dare to buy so much gasoline—it's far too dangerous a thing.
Unfortunately, it gets used up quickly, and their family now has three modified SUVs and four modified motorcycles, all of which consume a lot of fuel. Without finding a way to get more gasoline, there was no way they could manage.
On the way there, Fang Yuxin was worried, thinking that if the gas station had been hit by a meteorite, they might end up getting nothing. Luckily, their luck wasn't bad, and when they arrived, the gas station was surprisingly intact. Aside from wandering zombies, there wasn't a soul nearby—that presented them with a perfect opportunity!
There weren't many zombies around, so within less than twenty minutes after getting out of the car, the siblings had cleared them all out. The station was located off the beaten path, not in a busy urban area, with sparse population and an extremely open view. The fuel tanks were all underground, which the siblings had no way of removing, and without electricity, the pumps were useless, so knowing there was fuel below was of no help at all.
Fortunately, there happened to be a tanker truck at the station, with the door open. Fang Yuxin and Fang Yu Yang checked it and found the truck was broken and couldn't be driven away. It was probably for this reason that the truck hadn't been taken by others. The truck's tank was full of gasoline and hadn't been discharged yet. The siblings guessed that the truck must have just arrived when the meteorites fell and hadn't come around to refuel the station's tanks when the incident happened, leaving them to reap the benefits.
Fang Yuxin efficiently stored the tanker truck into space, but its large size caused a disturbance in the Sea of Consciousness as it was suddenly stored. She had encountered such a situation before but was still unaccustomed to it. Seeing her expression change, Fang Yu Yang immediately grew worried, "Xinxin, are you okay?"
Fang Yuxin shook her head and said through clenched teeth, "I'm fine, bro. Let's head back first."
The tanker truck was a big target, and who knows if it had caught someone's attention—staying too long was not wise. Fang Yu Yang, of course, understood this; he responded and drove off from the gas station as soon as he started the car.
Along the way, he kept an eye on Fang Yuxin's complexion and, seeing that she didn't show any signs of distress, he finally relaxed. He didn't have the space-storage ability and didn't know what it felt like for Fang Yuxin whenever she stored something, but he had observed carefully and noticed that whenever she stored large or numerous items, Fang Yuxin's complexion would slightly change, indicating an evident effect.
He didn't know the specifics of the effect, and Fang Yuxin never spoke about it, so he could only gauge if there was something wrong with her by watching her complexion. According to his current observations, there were indeed effects, but Fang Yuxin's body shouldn't have any problems, which could be seen from her appearance.
...
Fang Mengyao checked her character attributes on the gaming panel—she was level 0, with 500 Experience Points shy of leveling up to level 1. Upon leveling up, she would get a chance to draw a lottery where she could randomly obtain a Skill. Earning the remaining 500 Experience Points wasn't difficult, just a bit troublesome. There was only one way to gain Experience Points, and that was to take on and complete missions.
Hunting zombies was a main quest, with each Basic-level Zombie hunted yielding one point and one Experience Point. Besides that, communicating with others could trigger new side quests, which she could choose to accept or ignore at her discretion. Depending on the difficulty, these side quests rewarded varying amounts of points and Experience Points.
Points were like currency and had many uses: learning Skills, exchanging for weapons, equipment, medicine, or even increasing Body Attributes. It's just too bad that this gaming system had no guide, so she had to rely on herself for choices and there was no option to reload a previous save.
The system's store refreshed every hour; what she could buy depended on her luck. The upgrade system also came with a personal bag that currently had thirty slots, with each slot capable of stacking up to 99 of the same item. To unlock more slots, she would have to use points.
She had earned 500 points, but most of these had been spent to enhance her Body Attributes. Her current Body Attributes were not strong, lean and weak with little strength. She mainly added points to strength and speed, adjusted her Appearance value and three measurements, and finally purchased a Basic Set.
The clothing was designed to be tight-fitting, black, and felt thin, almost giving the illusion of being naked. However, the design of the clothes was good, with a corset that perfectly displayed the body curves, and the clothes featured a subtle pattern that changed under the light, enhancing the shapeliness of the figure, making it extremely sexy when worn.
There wasn't just one Basic Set in the system's store; different Basic Sets came with different additional effects. This set's added effect was a 10% boost to beauty, with others offering bonuses to speed, Defense, and more. After comparing, Fang Mengyao chose the set that most appealed to her.
After changing to the new set, only 7 points remained, which Fang Mengyao used to increase her character's attributes. She turned off the gaming panel and stood before a full-length mirror, looking at the curvaceous and sexy lady inside, her lips curling into a satisfied smile. The body she was in not only shared her name but even had a resemblance to her own looks, only far more beautiful than her original appearance.
Now that she had increased her Appearance value, her looks were even more exquisite, as if they had been refined by Photoshop, too perfect to seem human. She just couldn't believe that Qiu Yiming wouldn't be moved by her current appearance!
Thinking back on the confession she was rejected for, which led the original owner of the body to suicide, Fang Mengyao's gaze gradually grew cold. She didn't think the original was inferior to Fang Yuxin; it was just the supposed shame of being a bastard child that had made her be looked down upon. Qiu Yiming's decision to reject the original for Fang Yuxin just because of that made it clear how superficial he was!
Thinking of Qiu Yiming, she couldn't help remembering that night a few nights ago. She had originally hesitated about whether or not to visit the Fang Family to try to get that set of Jade that would react with the gaming system, but unexpectedly, she ran into Qiu Yiming, and he even took the initiative to approach her.
That man... was the most outstanding man she had seen in both her lives. Such a man should not perish at the hands of someone like Fang Yuxin—he didn't deserve her!
Looking at herself in the mirror, Fang Mengyao's lips parted slightly, murmuring as if in a dream, "Don't worry, I will definitely take revenge for you. Whatever the Fang Family owes you, whatever you want, I will take it back for you!"
