Su Jiyai took a deep breath and nodded.
The system was right.
As long as she becomes powerful she can find her people and take revenge.
Yes, revenge.
Su Jiyai still remembered how desperate she was when the zombies were chasing, and how many times she almost died.
Her 1 year was wasted and god knows how hurt Weilin and Brother Feng were...
Su Jiyai gritted her teeth and said,
"You are right. I didn't give up when I was about to die. How could I become sad on such a small matter!"
If the system was truly genuine and not her imagination then, she could not only find details about her parents but also give a stable life to her loved ones.
Thinking so, a small smile appeared on Su Jiyai's face.
[Yes, host. You are most powerful!]
"Okay tell me about the second mission. Is it by changing the core I obtained earlier?"
[Yes, host.]
"But how can I devolve and what type of strange superpower has I awakened?"
[Host you just need to permit me to devolve it, and I will fulfill the mission for you.]
"Is it...so easy?" Su Jiyai asked with uncertainty.
[Yes, host.]
"Okay then...you can devolve the red crystal.]
Su Jiyai exited the car and returned to the house.
Just as she sat down, she heard the system's voice,
[Ding! Vending Machine Detected! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the Vending Machine X ∞! The Host can start buying Vending Machines for 200 Federal Coins]
"Huh? Wait! How did I obtain this vending machine?" Su Jiyai was stunned.
[Host after devolving the red crystal, we were able to retain one thing the red monster ate a lot. And it just happens to be a vending machine.]
Su Jiyai felt as if she would faint.
What type of fairytale she was living in?
How could a crystal be converted into a vending machine?
And how could she have infinite vending machines? Isn't this apocalypse, where everything is scarce?
"No! No! Do you mean to say you devolved this vending machine from the things eaten by the red monster? Won't that have germs?"
Just the mere thought of eating what the monster had swallowed made Su Jiyai disgusted.
[Host, you are misunderstanding. We use the core as the medium to travel through time and retrieve one thing that is the most valuable.]
Su Jiyai was stunned,
"Is it possible?"
Why can't she believe it?
[Yes, host. It is a different kind of superpower but it does exist!]
The System was so powerful?
[Ding! Congratulations host for completing mission 2! You have been rewarded with 1000 points and 100 experience points!]
"What are these experience points?" Su Jiyai asked.
[Host, with the experience points you can level up. Even by renting you can increase your experience points.]
"Okay. So can I start with renting the house?"
Renting was pretty easy and she just needed to rent a single room. How difficult can that be?
It was truly not difficult
[Host, you first need to complete the basic requirement.]
"Huh? What requirement." Su Jiyai asked.
[Basic requirements for a room are: A bathroom, a washroom, a bed, a gas stove, and a few kitchen utensils.]
Su Jiyai: "..." So it wasn't that easy, right?
"Uh...do I need to buy them?"
[Yes, host. Before completing this requirement you can't rent the room.]
"Ok. Can you first show me the room?"
[Sure. You just need to walk to the east room. There is an elevator there. You will be able to reach the room. ]
Su Jiyai followed the system's directions and walked to the east room.
She found the elevator, which looked surprisingly modern and well-maintained, a stark contrast to the ruined world outside.
She stepped inside, and the elevator smoothly ascended.
When the doors opened, Su Jiyai stepped out into a spacious, clean, and well-lit room.
The room was 50 square feet not too big.
Su Jiyai asked,
"System can I buy the bed and all the other stuff from you?"
In the apocalypse, people hardly cared about furniture! So there wasn't much shop from where she could buy furniture.
[Yes host. You can.]
"Then show me the shopping interface."
[Okay. Just wait a moment.]
A virtual screen appeared before Su Jiyai, displaying a shopping interface filled with various items.
She browsed through the options, noting the prices and descriptions.
"Alright, let's see... I'll need a bed first," Su Jiyai muttered to herself. She selected a simple yet comfortable-looking bed from the list.
[Item: Bed. Cost: 250 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]
"Ah? 250 federal coins?"
Su Jiyai forgot that she only had a few federal coins in her hand!
Su Jiyai said with uncertainty,
"System I...I lack money currently, could you give me a small loan?"
[No.]
Su Jiyai: "..." So stingy!
Sensing Su Jiyai's mood, the system reminded her.
[Host you can exchange the points for federal coins. The ratio is 1:1.]
"Ah? Really? That is great!" Su Jiyai was overjoyed, "Then let's exchange."
[How many points would you like to exchange, Host?]
Su Jiyai thought for a moment.
She didn't want to exhaust her points, but she needed enough coins to get all the necessary items.
"Let's start with 2000 points."
[2000 points will be exchanged for 2000 Federal Coins. Confirm exchange?]
"Yes, confirm."
[Ding! Exchange successful. 2000 points have been deducted from your balance. You now have 2000 Federal Coins. Remaining points: 97980]
"Okay, now we can start!" Su Jiyai said with a smile and selected the bed.
[Item: Bed. Cost: 250 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]
"Yes," she confirmed.
[Ding! Purchase successful. The item will be delivered to your room shortly.]
Next, she picked a gas stove, a few kitchen utensils, and some basic furniture like a table and chairs.
The interface was user-friendly, and the items were reasonably priced.
[Item: Gas Stove. Cost: 300 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]
[Item: Kitchen Utensils. Cost: 200 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]
[Item: Table and Chairs. Cost: 750 Federal Coins. Confirm purchase?]
"Yes, yes, and yes," she confirmed each purchase.
Within minutes, the items started appearing in her room, as if by magic.
Though it was out of expectation for these things to magically appear, Su Jiyai wasn't too shocked.
By now Su Jiyai had adapted to the strange surprises a little.
Su Jiyai stood back and admired the now-furnished room. It looked cozy and functional, a perfect place to rest and regroup.
The bathroom and washroom, though looked congested and small, looked modern and beautiful.
[Ding! Congratulations host for reaching the basic requirement to rent a room. You can now start renting the room.]
Su Jiyai smiled.
Finally!
She walked out of the room and realized that the wall covered the elevator. She pushed gently, and it moved aside, revealing the elevator once more.
Su Jiyai suddenly asked,
"System could you shift all the furniture to another room? Keep this room for me."
The entrance of the elevator was in that room. If she rented the room, how would she exit the room?
[Sure host, no problem.]
Then within 2 minutes the furniture magically vanished one by one and finally, the room became empty again.
[Room no. 2 has reached the basic requirement. You can now rent the room.]
Su Jiyai smiled and walked out of the room. A long corridor appeared in front of her. After crossing the corridor Su Jiyai saw an empty but clean living room.
Exiting the house, Su Jiyai saw the orangish glow in the sky. So, it was evening?
Su Jiyai looked at the vast space.
Around her house, there was hardly anything else. Just plain land.
What made her intrigued was the metallic blue walls that were marking the end of her territory.
"System those blue walls..."
[Host those are electric fence walls. They prevent zombies from entering your territory.]
Su Jiyai asked curiously,
"These walls can protect zombies? Any levels?"
[Yes, host. There is an SSS-Rank electric fence.]
"Oh..." Su Jiyai was truly stunned.
Just now she was wondering why would anyone rent a house in such an isolated place. But now it makes sense. After all, who would not want to live in a place protected from zombies?
Su Jiyai walked back into the house and went to the underground room prepared for her by the system.
[Host, when a room is rented, you can't show your face to the tenants until you reach level 5.]
"Why?" Su Jiyai asked. By now she understood that whatever demands the system made was for her own good.
[Host, you don't know how black human's heart had become in the apocalypse. You are very weak now, it is better if you work hard and increase your power and then make an appearance.]
"Oh." Su Jiyai nodded.
She somewhat understood the system's concern. A poor person's biggest mistake is having treasure they can't protect.
[Host, it is time for dinner. Do you want me to make dinner for you?]
"Sure."
[Okay host! 20 points deducted. Remaining points: 99760]
After dinner, Su Jiyai did some stretching and asked,
"Have I awakened any superpower?"
