Su Jiyai’s eyes brightened.

Finally, she could begin with the supermarket development!

[Ding! Challenge: Complete the daily quest!

Reward: 10 points.

Penalty: 500 points.

Would you like to accept the challenge?]

“System what is this daily quest?” Su Jiyai was feeling a bit dizzy with all those prompt flooding one after the other.

[Host, it is something you have to complete every day. The failure to do so could be…be dangerous.]

Su Jiyai: “…” I thought you were upgraded?

With a sigh, Su Jiyai stood up,

“I accept the challenge.”

Looking at the reward and penalty, Su Jiyai wanted to complain

It was blatant cheating!

The reward was 10 points but the penalty was 500 points!

Su Jiyai: “…” It has degraded for sure!

[Host please hurry up, only 4 hours are remaining before the day ends.] The system reminded her.

Su Jiyai gritted her teeth and started to complete the quest.

It wasn’t like she didn’t do exercise before. But seeing Quest reminded her of the time she had spent in her military.

One by one Su Jiyai completed all the exercises.

If Qin Feng had been present at the scene he would have laughed.

The cute blueberry pie fur cat was trying hand to do standard planks though…it looked as if she was just stretching.

Her pull-ups looked more like playful swipes at the air than any real attempt at lifting herself.

Every time she tried, her paws barely gripped the bar, and she’d dangle helplessly for a second before plopping back down with a soft thud.

“Ugh… this is ridiculous!” Su Jiyai huffed her tiny cat form clearly not built for human-style exercise.

The system had really done her dirty this time. Even the pushups were more like little belly flops, with her legs sprawled awkwardly as she attempted to move up and down.

If anyone had seen her, they might’ve mistaken the whole thing for an adorable stretching routine rather than a serious workout.

Squats? Forget it.

Her short little legs could barely bend, and every time she tried, she ended up tipping over and rolling onto her back.

After the third attempt, she just lay there, staring at the ceiling, catching her breath.

“System…can I pile it up for later? Just like the dimension visit that I have pending?” Su Jiyai requested.

[No host.]

Su Jiyai could only continue the routine with embarrassment.

Thank god! Thank god no one was looking at her for now!

[Congratulations host for completing the main quest. Please proceed to the side quest.]

Su Jiyai heaved a sigh of relief.

There were still 3 more hours to go, she could finish the daily quest easily…

[Side Quest 1:

Survive for half an hour in the VR room.

Side Quest 2:

Kill 1 level-1 Zombies solely with your body.

Side Quest 3:

Cultivate for half an hour ]

Su Jiyai: “…” You sneaky system!

“System why are there two additional quests?” Su Jiyai questioned.

[Host, there were three side quests, but to keep you motivated, only a part of the daily quest was displayed.]

Su Jiyai: “…” Thank you but I am not motivated.

Gritting her teeth, Su Jiyai entered the room and asked the auxiliary system to turn on a hand-to-hand survival mode.

Just like the previous time a holographic opponent materialized before her.

The opponent bowed, and Su Jiyai bowed as well.

Thereafter the fight started.

It was Su Jiyai’s first time fighting against a martial artist expert in cat form.

According to the normal stories, she had heard Su Jiyai thought maybe she would easily win against the opponent.

However, the reality placed a bitter slap on her face.

Because just by the wave of one hand, the opponent sent Su Jiyai flying.

Crash.

The moment Su Jiyai landed on the floor, she felt dizzy. All the muscles in her body started to ache, making her realize how much she overestimated herself.

This blow also made her realize how weak she was. The slight advantage she had earlier against her opponent was their similar body size but now…even that was taken away from her.

‘It’s unfair.’ She thought.

But soon a voice in her mind told her,

‘Do you think the world would care? The zombies…the beast that you will encounter the next would care?’

Memories of her first dimension hunting flooded Su Jiyai’s mind.

Wasn’t the beast triple the size of her? At that time while fighting, no one was there to help and judge whether it was unfair or not.

The truth was…even if it was unfair…that was what she had to face from now on.

Thinking so, Su Jiyai stood up.

‘Work on your shortcomings, look at what you can use to your advantage, and do your best.’ Su Jiyai motivated herself and leaped toward the martial artist.

The martial artist didn’t move until Su Jiyai was close to it. He waved a punch toward Su Jiyai, who tried to use the punch as the platform to leap further.

And for she succeeded.

In mere seconds she landed on his fist and leaped toward the martial artist’s face.

Whoosh.

Su Jiyai used her paws to slap the martial artists, but the result was disappointing. The power in her paws was close to none…

Her performance for the later half was so disappointing, that even the system and the auxiliary system couldn’t bear it.

[Host, please stop. Let me change your opponent.]

Su Jiyai asked panting,

“How…how much more time is remaining?”

[25 minutes more.]

Su Jiyai’s cat body trembled as she panted heavily, sprawled on the ground.

“Only… 5 minutes? I thought I’d been in here for a lifetime!”

[Host, you’re not even halfway through. Shall I switch to a beginner-level opponent?] the system asked, sounding concerned for the first time.

“Switch it to a plushie for all I care! I just need a break,” she groaned, flopping dramatically onto her side like a lazy housecat.

Suddenly, her opponent dematerialized, and to her surprise, a giant stuffed bunny appeared.

Its round, innocent eyes blinked, and it waved at her cheerfully.

“You’re kidding…” Su Jiyai muttered.

But then, with a loud thump, the bunny charged toward her with surprising speed, swinging its oversized fluffy arms in slow-motion punches.

Su Jiyai barely dodged, hopping clumsily to the side.

“It’s…it’s still fast! How is a plushie fast?!”

The bunny flailed around, its fluffy ears bouncing as it missed her again by inches. Su Jiyai pounced onto its back, but all she managed to do was sink her tiny claws into the soft fabric, where she promptly got stuck.

“No, no, no! I’m not going out like this!” she yowled, flailing her little legs in every direction, desperately trying to free herself from the overly huggable opponent.

The system’s voice chimed in again, [Host, this is rather pitiful. Would you like to pause?]

“No! I… can… do this!” Su Jiyai, with all the strength she could muster, wriggled free, leaping to the floor like a champion, only to land directly on her face.

The bunny stopped in its tracks, turning its head slowly as if confused. Su Jiyai lay on the ground, mentally begging it to have some mercy. She could feel her pride crumbling.

After a moment, the bunny seemed to take pity on her and gently patted her head with its fluffy paw. The soft pat was enough to make Su Jiyai groan, “System… just tell me how much longer?”

[20 more minutes, Host.]

“Good. I’m doomed.”

After 30 minutes were over, Su Jiyai took a rest before going out to hunt.

Killing one zombie of level 1 was pretty easy for her.

Level 1 zombies weren’t fast, nor did they have human intelligence, making it easier for her to win against them.

The VR training was a bit effective because now Su Jiyai could punch a zombie’s head hard enough to kill it in one strike.

With a tired body, Su Jiyai returned to her secret hideout and started to cultivate.

She primarily focused on absorbing the crystal’s power deeply.

[Ding! Congratulations host for completing the daily quest!]

Su Jiyai with her tired body walked towards the bed and ordered the system,

“Wake me up by 1 am. I have a lot of work to do tonight. Oh! Right! Inform the tenants not to leave their room.”

[Sure host.]
