I Will Always Be By Your Side

Ye Qingwei suddenly remembered what she had forgotten—she had forgotten Ye Fan!

The thought made her anxious. She was safe here, but who knew where Ye Fan was?

She realized that ever since Jiang Yang appeared, Ye Fan seemed to have faded from her mind.

"Bro... Brother Ye Fan, he..."

She didn't know how to say it. She could stay here safely only because of Jiang Yang; she had no leverage to negotiate with him.

But Ye Fan had taken care of her for so long—how could she just abandon him?

Jiang Yang noticed her worry and said, "Since he's the brother who looked after you, we'll prioritize searching for him next."

On the surface, he said this, but inwardly he thought: Ye Qingwei's bond with Ye Fan wouldn't be severed overnight, not after all that care.

But it didn't matter. Ye Fan would make a move!

Right, the reborn Ye Fan—never mind the rest—just hearing his beloved sister call him "bro" would probably make his lungs explode with rage.

If he knew Ye Qingwei called "good brother" even more sweetly when she was happy, Ye Fan might just die of anger, and even the Son of the Plane's luck couldn't save him.

When they met, Ye Fan would surely provoke him.

He only needed to set things up a little, and Ye Qingwei would naturally turn against Ye Fan to protect him.

And not just Ye Qingwei—Wu Lei and Qiu Chan also knew Ye Fan.

But right now, Wu Lei and Qiu Chan didn't know him, and even if they met later, they'd only be enemies.

Ye Qingwei nestled in Jiang Yang's arms, amazed at how good he was to her.

Ye Fan was hostile toward Jiang Yang.

Yet Jiang Yang held no grudges and only thought of her.

"Thank you, bro. Meeting you is the best thing." Ye Qingwei buried her head in Jiang Yang's chest.

"Don't worry, I'll always be by your side."

Jiang Yang stroked her smooth back and looked out the window. Not far from the high-end hotel was a park.

That was Jiang Yang's next target.

Ye Fan carried a Fire Axe on his back and a backpack in his hand. Inside, besides some purple Crystal Cores, were all zombie claws and such.

He'd picked up plenty of scraps along the way, but the more he scavenged, the more unbalanced he felt. The Dragon Totem—that should have been his opportunity!

"Damn butterfly effect!"

Ye Fan cursed, then looked at a shop not far away.

The Apocalypse Store looked like a small convenience store, clean and out of place with its surroundings.

If you talked about opportunities, the Apocalypse Store was the biggest one.

Here, survivors could exchange for jobs, buy all kinds of items. The Apocalypse Store's existence was the foundation of humanity's survival.

Now Ye Fan entered the store. It was empty inside, just a few tables and a counter.

He placed the scavenged items on the counter.

A pile of Magic Crystals and materials floated out of the backpack, then vanished into thin air.

A moment later, a pale blue light screen lit up, showing Ye Fan's information. At the bottom, in the account column, the Apocalypse Coin count became 156.

"Purchase Basic Warrior job."

"Buy two Healing Potions, two Berserk Potions, one Night Vision Potion."

A Job Scroll appeared before Ye Fan.

The most basic job, Warrior—it was the first job he'd gotten in his past life too. Could rebirth still not change his fate?

Ye Fan's eyes flickered with struggle as he tore open the Job Scroll. He would change his fate!

Inside the high-end hotel, the smell of hotpot filled the air.

"Bro Jiang, are you a job holder?"

"How do you become a job holder?"

"The Apocalypse Store—I think I saw it today."

"Qingwei is actually an Ability User!"

A group gathered around. Jiang Yang had just been explaining common knowledge about the apocalypse to them.

Job holders and Ability Users, and the Apocalypse Store.

Though it was all basic apocalypse info, for Xiao Wan and the others, it was still too much to take in.

"Are you a first-tier professional now? If I can become one, would I pass the assessment?" Qiu Chan stared at Jiang Yang with burning eyes.

"You can give it a try."

A hint of amusement flickered in Jiang Yang's eyes. Taking down Qiu Chan was probably just a matter of time.

He hadn't expected that the Sword Saintess of the apocalypse, a lone super powerhouse, would be so easily handled by him.

Watching the two exchange glances, Ye Qingwei's small hand pinched Jiang Yang's waist in displeasure.

His kindness toward her had given her the courage to act like Jiang Yang's woman.

These little couple gestures—she wouldn't have dared to initiate them before, afraid of displeasing him.

"Ahem." Xiao Wan eased the awkward atmosphere and asked, "What kind of professions are in the Apocalypse Store?"

"If I'm not mistaken, the professions in the store are the most basic ones, right?"

"Exactly!"

Jiang Yang shot an appreciative glance at Xiao Wan. As expected of his head steward and candidate for his harem, her reaction speed was sharp.

Perhaps because she'd been his steward for so long, Xiao Wan held a lot of resources in her hands, but even so, there were many things she couldn't obtain.

For instance, Jiang Yang used to sigh that he could easily get a woman's body but struggled to conquer each one's heart.

The things you couldn't buy were the most expensive.

That principle still held true in the apocalypse.

From Jiang Yang's introduction just now, Xiao Wan realized the world was about to usher in a new currency system.

And since the Apocalypse Store was global, everything inside could be bought by anyone. The quality might be good, but it definitely wasn't the most precious.

"Xiao Wan's right. The professions in the store are the most basic. Beyond that, there are Hidden Professions and Inherited Professions."

"But those depend on luck."

Jiang Yang stood up, his gaze sweeping over the group.

"In the apocalypse, besides professions, there are all kinds of items. Tomorrow, I'll arrange an operation."

"If it succeeds, we'll harvest a large number of Apocalypse Coins—enough for everyone to get a profession—and we'll also obtain a very powerful item."

Jiang Yang looked out the window at the park, where a white fluorescent glow was emanating.

That was the location of Ye Fan's second opportunity.

After tomorrow, a monster carrying a sack would appear there.

And that monster had an unremarkable, straightforward name—Money-Scattering Boy.

Money-Scattering Boy was a monster everyone in the apocalypse loved to see.

After all, attacking it meant getting treasures.
