Don't Think You Can Do Whatever You Want Just Because You Have Food! (Seeking Recommendation Tickets and Monthly Tickets!)

Shen Jin placed the diamond pickaxe on the enchanting table.

The enchanted book suspended directly above flipped to a blank page.

Text gradually appeared:

[Enchanting Skill: Level 5, 5 World Coins] [Durability: 1.4 World Coins] [You actually want to trade? 10 World Coins]

∑(っ°Д°;)っ

Shen Jin: "Whaaaat???"

"What's with all this garbled nonsense! This is too much!"

Shen Jin found that the enchanting content was in text that no human could decipher.

This was a classic 'Minecraft' tradition, and he hadn't expected it to be so frustrating in reality.

"Anyway, the most expensive one must have the best enchanting properties, right?"

Shen Jin hadn't enchanted that many times in the game. He usually went straight for the electric drill or jetpack, never having the time to mess with vanilla enchanting.

"I currently have 20 World Coins. Unlocking the next stage of the mods requires 30 World Coins. I'll focus on upgrading my tech first. I can wait on enchanting; I don't have many uses for it right now."

He had the diamond pickaxe for mining and an energy-enhanced iron sword for killing zombies. He didn't urgently need enchanted tools to break through.

Shen Jin looked at the system interface. As expected, a new mission had appeared.

[Ding ~ New Mission] [Mission: Establish a Micro Human Settlement] [Requirements: Shelter 30 survivors in your territory and have them settle (remain for 7 days) ] [Mission Reward: 20 World Coins, Unlock 'Daily Missions' Module] [Current Progress: 4/30] [Mission Description: To survive better in the apocalypse, you need to develop your own influence. Go and gather survivors suffering in the outside world!]

Shen Jin's brow furrowed.

"Tap, tap, tap~"

His fingers rhythmically tapped the glass table, producing crisp sounds.

After a long pause, "System, if I don't do this mission, will there be a penalty?"

"."

The only answer Shen Jin received was silence.

Since he obtained the system, it had never spoken to him.

The systems that talked a lot in novels were all lies!

He didn't know why the system wanted him to complete these missions, nor did he know who issued the rewards behind the missions.

Although Shen Jin often rejoiced at obtaining the system, He always felt like it was a trap.

The mystery of this trap lay within these missions.

This was the only interaction the system had with him.

"Kill zombies—claim territory—kill evolved zombies—establish a gathering place—?"

The mission flow was clear, and all of them were within his capabilities.

"Could it be that the system's goal is... to not let me be a couch potato? Forcing me to stir up trouble everywhere?"

Especially with this mission, which required Shen Jin to bring 30 people of unknown background into the settlement.

"Good heavens! System, aren't you afraid of exposing yourself? I am! Who knows if some Dragon King-like protagonist will show up and stomp me to death."

Shen Jin felt the system was inexplicably optimistic. Why should he be able to shelter others?

It was as if he were the savior of humanity.

"But... the system only said to shelter them, and there are no specific requirements on how to treat them. If that's the case..."

Three days passed.

Shen Jin continued to dote on his little niece and Shang Qian daily, then went out to sweep and collect items.

He had just cleared out a foreign trade factory that made clothes, obtaining a lot of winter clothing.

Li Moxiao and Shang Qian each picked out quite a few of the fashionable styles.

Shen Jin had also cleared out two rooms for them underground and installed ventilation and power facilities.

These were not difficult for Shen Jin, especially now that he had the combustion generator, he didn't mind using electricity at all.

Burn those tons of coal from the warehouses!

Shen Jin thought: No matter how safe it is outside, it's never as safe as underground.

The main point is that others think you're on the first floor, and they're on the third, but in reality, I'm on the underground level.

It's just great!

To guard against any unforeseen enemy attacks, Shen Jin had also made many designs.

November 11th.

Shen Jin didn't go out today.

He was going to take the gene optimization agent 1.0!

After observing Yang Ao's body for 3 days and finding no adverse reactions, Shen Jin finally felt relieved.

Yang Ao's combat skills had been improving daily. Although he remained very respectful towards Shen Jin, this feeling of being slightly out of control made Shen Jin uncomfortable.

This was also why he had been acting separately from Yang Ao these past few days.

Shen Jin walked into Li Moxiao's room, carrying a large pile of food.

It was a room filled with a strong girlish aura.

A 'Fluorescent Lamp', a specialty of the [Basic Industry] Mods, had been installed, making the room's brightness suitable.

After installing the ventilation fan on the ground, the underground remained warm, and the air was fresh and pleasant.

Shen Jin, who enjoyed picking up trash, discovered he had so many good things while decorating the room.

The bed, of course, was a pure wool bed produced by the system.

It was wide, soft, and comfortable!

He also arranged all the other dolls, figurines, and a PS4!

A typical otaku girl's room was thus set up.

At this moment, Li Moxiao, who was playing on the PS4, saw Shen Jin enter with bags of food.

Her eyes suddenly lit up!

"Wow! No way, no way? Even a tough old tree like you is blooming on Singles' Day?"

Shen Jin's face contorted in pain: "This kid, what are you saying? I haven't starved you, have I? Rice and noodles, tell me, which one haven't you had enough of?"

Li Moxiao said melancholically, "The dishes."

Alright, Shen Jin admitted that apart from that one time he wildly produced steak for Li Moxiao to eat her fill.

Afterward, he had secretly instructed Shang Qian to be frugal with meat and vegetables, especially limiting Li Moxiao's supply.

"Sigh! Let's not talk about that. I have important business today. I'm going to lock the door first, don't make a sound."

Shen Jin locked the door from the inside and started taking out the food, placing it all on the table.

Li Moxiao's face flushed red.

(/ω＼)

"W-what are you going to do! Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you have food!"

She said with no conviction, and Li Moxiao thought about what was about to happen.

I'm only 16!

Pervert!

Then, looking at the table full of staple foods and snacks, a wave of sadness washed over her.

Tears, unable to be held back, streamed from the corners of her mouth.

Shen Jin felt that drinking the gene optimization agent was still somewhat dangerous. During this period, he would need to eat a lot, his body would mutate, and his mobility would be impaired.

To prevent any potential attacks, Shen Jin decided to employ a diversion.

He would secretly go to Li Moxiao's room to take the agent, asking her to keep an eye on him. If anything went wrong and he passed out, she would take care of him until he woke up.

Ultimately, Shen Jin trusted his own niece, who was not related by blood, more.

"I'm going to get very hot later and will have to take off some clothes. If you don't want to look, you can turn your head away. Whatever you see later, don't make a sound, and don't let anyone know I'm here with you."

Shen Jin felt he had explained clearly.

Li Moxiao's face turned even redder. She pinched her fair, long legs, leaving red marks on them with her small hands.

She hadn't expected Shen Jin to be so direct today. He used to talk about "belt players" before.

But now

He wanted her to watch such a shameful thing, and not to make a sound or let anyone know.

"Now? Isn't it too soon?"

Shen Jin took off his jacket, took out the gene optimization agent from his package, and hearing her words, looked puzzled:

"Too soon? I've been observing for several days, there shouldn't be any problems, right? No more dilly-dallying, it's today!"

Li Moxiao's face, previously puffy and bloated from malnutrition, now clearly showed her delicate, melon-seed shape.

The youthful tightness, tenderness, and fair skin of a young girl seemed to ignite at this moment.

A blush had spread all the way to her neck and earlobes.

Li Moxiao's mind was a muddled mess. Although she had guessed this day would come eventually, Ever since she heard Shen Jin slap himself three times while she was unconscious, and then hold her head tightly in his arms.

She knew she had probably fallen for someone.

This person was a bit stingy, a bit cowardly, and even a big pervert!

But, beneath his calm and amusing exterior, he hid the kindest heart in the world.

It's just that, it was happening now...

"I'm a little nervous, I'll eat some snacks first." Li Moxiao grabbed a pack of Cornettos and stuffed them into her mouth.

"You're not taking medicine, what are you nervous about? Just lie on the bed and watch me later."

"Ah!? You still have to take medicine?"

Li Moxiao was shocked!

"I'm so nervous."

Shen Jin gulped down the agent and looked at Li Moxiao's fidgety appearance, feeling somewhat perplexed.

"It's not like I'm modifying your genes, what are you so worked up about?"

"Huh? Modifying... genes???"

(=′ー`)

Aaaah! Little niece is acting cute and begging for votes and tips!
