Rebirth: 100 Days Before Doomsday - Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Best Master

“You must be kidding me!” Grace could hardly believe the words that 2025 just spoke out loud, shattering her perfect plan of staying indoors during the zombie breakout that was merely hours away.

“I’m not.” 2025 replied without any hint of hesitation. “I’m just letting you know that if you want to earn some good points for future use in the system, then you are going to have the perfect chance to do so.”

Grace let out a sigh as she plopped down on the couch in the living room of the villa. She had planned to stay inside the safety of her apartment while zombies would be creating chaos out there. But it seemed like the plan needed to change.

“How many points will I earn for taking down one zombie?” She enquired, focusing her mind on the positive aspect of the situation. If she had to go out to face those ugly things, then it better be worth it.

“500 for one.” 2025 answered, and before Grace could have spoken, it was already adding, “… and 500 extra every time you will use your power to kill them.”

Grace, who had her mouth opened to complain how 500 sounded too little, quickly closed her mouth as soon as she heard the part of earning 500 extra points with the use of her powers.

“So… I’m going out to fight those things.” It was more of a statement to herself than a question to 2025.

Still, the little creature decided to reply – “You should. It’s not like you don’t know how to handle a hoard of those things. You might be bad at fighting with the monster beasts, but you sure could give those zombies a hell of a time.”

Grace narrowed her eyes and turned her gaze at the little thing, staring at it while she tried to make up her mind about whether to feel offended or just let it slide since it also praised her a little at the end of that sentence.

“I’m just stating facts. No need to glare at me like that.” 2025 murmured, being aware of the murderous glare it was receiving from its master.

She let out a small sigh and just accepted the truth – she was indeed bad at fighting those monsters, and it was because she had no superpower in her previous life.

“Maybe you should come out and fight some of those zombies as well. You need to workout a little to digest all the strawberries that you have been gulping down these days.” She directed at 2025, letting it know that she was fully aware of where her strawberries were disappearing from the past couple of days.

2025’s eyes immediately turned into saucers, not only because it got caught for stealing the strawberries but also because it just got indirectly threatened by the woman who was its master. It knew better than anyone else that if it offended her any further, she would definitely throw him out in front of those zombies.

It gulped down to moisten its sudden dry throat before directing the conversation to a different matter. Thankfully, it was smart enough to choose a topic that was of greater interest to its master compared to punishing it.

“You should also take this chance to train your team members. Instead of keeping them all hidden inside the safety of your apartments, it’s far better to let them face those zombies. Not only it will help them with their training but will also prepare them for the bigger fights that they will face in the future. And you will also be able to earn more points with their kill.”

Grace had already thought of it when she realized that she would need to go out to fight the zombies. And since 2025 suggested the same thing, it only made her confirm the idea. But there was a certain sentence that caught her attention. “Will I earn points from the kills of my team as well?”

2025 nodded its head and answered, “I will add this one as a team quest in the system. With this, you will be able to earn points for each kill of yours or your team members.”

Now, it sounded like an even better idea.

“Alright then. Make it a team quest. I must go out and let them know that we are going out for an adventure tonight.” Grace said as she stood up from the couch and headed toward the kitchen.

The timer was showing about two more hours that were left in the arrival of Blood Rain and the rain was going to last for over an hour, exactly for 57 minutes. Hence, they had about three hours before the zombie apocalypse would begin.

This also meant that Grace had three more days to work inside her space. She decided to spent two more days working and leaving the space on the third day to inform others about the change in plan.

“Where do you think you are going?” She asked when she noticed 2025 slowly making its way out of the living room.

The little creature froze for a moment or two before it turned to face her. If Grace had to choose, then it was definitely a sheepish look on its face.

“I… I was thinking about sunbathing…”

“You can do all the sunbathing out in the fields. Don’t even think that you will get to leisure around after swapping an entire field of strawberries clean behind my back.” Grace stated while giving it a hard glare.

“Master…” 2025 began in a very cute and sweet voice that could have melted anyone’s heart but not Grace’s.

“Glow…” Grace began in a similar sweet tone, “… there’s no such thing as free food in my team. Come now, we need to grow more strawberries to keep feeding you in future.”

2025 let out a sigh and an almost pout like expression took over its face for a moment before shifting into that of realization. Its eyes glowed up and it quickly chased after Grace who was already heading outside.

“Master, have I ever told you that you are the best master in this whole universe…”
