Apocalypse: I Have A Multiplier System - Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Chapter 50: Reward

No one knew where he went. The higher authorities tried their best to look for him, yet they weren’t able to find him.

The Qin family even threatened to disown Captain Qin, if Captain Qin didn’t return. However, Captain Qin didn’t return.

With no captain Qin, the battle became one-sided and the zombies started to win. Later the authorities knew Willow Land couldn’t be saved, so they informed all the top families and high-ranking officials and ran away.

As far as I know, many of them flew to some other country.”

Su Jiyai’s heart stopped beating.

Qin Feng vanished…?

Where did he vanish?

Was he in trouble?

Su Jiyai’s hands trembled.

What if Qin Feng was…

Su Jiyai closed her eyes.

No.

He wouldn’t die! He promised to give her an answer! Before he gives her an answer, how can he die?

She fought against death just so she could hear his answer, how could he leave her?

Unacceptable!

He won’t leave her, right?

He was the reason why she was trying to survive! How can she live if he…

Su Jiyai closed her eyes.

A handsome face appeared in her mind.

A kind guy with a tough exterior.

She always lacked…a home…and he promised to be her home.

He promised her,

“Jiyai, you are not alone anymore. Even the moon has the stars to accompany them, how can someone as beautiful as you, not have a companion?”

“So just because I am beautiful I will have a companion? What if I wasn’t beautiful?”

“You will still be beautiful. Your heart is beautiful.” Qin Feng said softly.

“Hmph! What is the use? I don’t have a home. I don’t have a family who will worry about me and take a stand for me in the future. I can’t call any place my mine.” Su Jiyai sighed

“Should I buy a house for you in Willow Land?” Qin Feng asked.

Su Jiyai laughed and shook her head,

“That is the difference. I can buy a house that I can call ‘my home’. However… in the end, it is just bricks and cement.

Everyone thinks a home is a house…In the literal sense, a house is a building in which a person lives, while a home… means a place that a person thinks belongs to him…

I want home…”

A bitter smile appeared on Su Jiyai’s face.

She knew that even if she eventually survived and someday reached a higher rank, and owned a house… she would feel lonely.

Because…that was the bitter truth.

She had no one…

“I will be your home then.” Qin Feng said softly.

Su Jiyai chuckled,

“Stop joking-”

However, she couldn’t finish her words when she saw the sincerity in Qin Feng’s eyes. From that day onwards…Su Jiyai realized the difference between love and likeness…

She liked Qin Feng’s appearance at first…but later she fell for his personality.

Or maybe the promise of him being her home, made her get attached to him.

She even started to dream of them getting married someday…

From that day everything changed. She felt as if she found a purpose in her life.

Qin Feng.

Her purpose to live…

But, now Fei Bao was saying…he most probably…

Su Jiyai felt pain in her chest. She rubbed her chest and took a deep breath to suppress the rising panic in her heart.

[Danger alert! Danger alert! Host, the aura around you is getting unstable! Please control your emotions!]

Su Jiyai clenched her fist tightly, so much so that her palm started to bleed, yet…she didn’t care.

[Host, I know you are feeling very sad now, but before knowing the truth, it is advisable that the host refrain from overworking herself.]

Truth…

Yeah!

Whether Qin Feng is alive or not…is yet to be discovered! How can she think negatively?

Su Jiyai covered her face. Suppressing her rising emotions, Su Jiyai asked calmly,

“Do you know anything more?”

“No.” Fei Bao shook his head.

“Alright. I will waive your this month’s rent.”

Fei Bao was surprised, before shaking his head,

“I don’t need the reward.”

“I don’t go back on my words. Please step out of the telephone booth and if possible announce your reward to the other tenants.” Su Jiyai said in a light tone.

Fei Bao understood Su Jiyai’s intentions.

She gave out such a generous reward to tempt the other tenants, so that they might also share any useful information they have in exchange for similar rewards.

And even if they don’t have any relevant information for now, they can dig.

The more people will dig into the past, the more information can be found.

Smart.

Fei Bao nodded and quietly exited the telephone booth.

Once he left, Su Jiyai turned off the monitor.

He had to be alive, she thought, he just had to be.

But the fear gnawed at her. The fear that the person who promised to be her home might have left her alone in this cruel world.

Taking a deep breath, Su Jiyai steadied herself. She couldn’t afford to break down now. If there was any chance of finding Qin Feng, she had to stay strong and stay focused.

“I will find you, Qin Feng,” she whispered to herself. “Even if I have to tear this world apart.”

[Host, you will. But first, you need to prepare for your second hunt.]

“Hm.” Su Jiyai nodded.

“Open the weapon panel”

[Sure.]

A blue panel appeared in front of Su Jiyai.

Su Jiyai scrolled through the panel and bought another E-Rank weapon: A rolling pin.

“System, can the weapons section be upgraded? Its… too strange.” Su Jiyai commented.

Rather than weapons, they seem like utensils for cooking.

[I am sorry Host, I can’t do that.]

“Fine. Open the medicine section.” Su Jiyai ordered.

She converted all the rent she had collected so far and bought 10 healing potions, bandages, and some cold and fever medicine.

Su Jiyai packed all the weapons, medicine, and extra food in a bag.

Turning her monitor on she ordered Yuan Xin to step into a telephone booth.

Yuan Xin was excitedly and nervous.

Finally! He will be assigned some work!

What will Su Jiyai assign him?

Hunting down zombies? Or finding some precious herbs? She won’t ask him to kill others, right?

Yuan Xin was very familiar with the first two tasks. In his previous base, he often took those tasks…

But the third task… he was somewhat against it…(Killing other humans)

All he hoped was…Su Jiyai won’t be inhuman and give him some bloody work.

“You will sit at the reception from now on.” Su Jiyai announced.

“Ah?” Yuan Xin blinked.

“Your work is to sit at the reception, introduce the benefits of the residence, assure them, show them around, and introduce all the new machines that I will install.

Treat all the new comers with respect.” Su Jiyai explained.

Explaining the same benefits again and again was very tiring…

So easy? Yuan Xin was stunned.

With uncertainty in his tone he asked,

“Hm…will my rent be waived off?”

“Yes. Your food expense will be covered too, I will give you a monthly salary of 30 zombie crystals and if you recommend any new customer, I will give you a commission of 1 zombie crystal.”

“Huh?” Yuan Xin was shocked to the point, he couldn’t utter a single word.

He thought his job would be tiring and hard…but all he had to do was stay inside the building and introduce customers…this…was the simplest way to earn money he had ever heard.

And what did Boss Su say? 30 zombie crystals as salary and 1 zombie crystal as a commission if he introduced any customer…this was truly fascinating.

If he was somewhere else 30 zombie crystals would be considered less, however, in the paradise built by Boss Su, everything was so cheap that he could easily live a comfortable life with that amount.

Not only that, but the added benefit of free food and rent was an incredible offer. It basically means he can use the entire 30 zombies’ crystal to either buy medicine or save them up.

Once he thought of medicine, Yuan Xin’s face turned pale.

Medicine…he will have to buy it from outside…and it will cost a lot of money…

30 zombie crystals won’t be enough…

“Oh right, as for your dad’s medicine, I will provide it. I will cut 5 zombie crystals from your monthly salary. Do you agree? You can buy it from outside if you want to.”

“Just 5 zombie crystals?” Yuan Xin’s eyes widened in disbelief.

“Yes. The medicine here is cheap.” Su Jiyai lied.

“You won’t…ask me to do anything difficult or bloody…”

“What nonsense.” Su Jiyai frowned. “You are just 7 years old. Act like a 7-year-old. Don’t talk about bloody things.”

7 year old…

For a moment, Yuan Xin was moved. No words came out of his throat.
