Love without material support did not exist. With a solid material foundation, even an iceberg would have to give you a couple of smiles.
"This... I..." Mo Li hesitated, unsure whether she should accept Jiang Yang's gift.
She understood the saying that eating someone's food made your mouth soft, and taking someone's things made your hands short. If she accepted Jiang Yang's gift, she would owe him something.
Chen Ke was still surrounded by fluorescent light. Seeing Mo Li hesitate, Jiang Yang simply stepped forward and stuffed the Job Scroll into her hands.
"Teacher Mo, why are you being so polite with me?"
"Consider this an apology for before."
Jiang Yang leaned close to Mo Li, grabbed her little hand, and found it smooth and tender, wonderfully soft to the touch.
Mo Li's expression changed. She tried to pull her hand back, but Jiang Yang held on tightly.
"Jiang Yang, let go of me!"
Mo Li was annoyed. They were just talking—why was he putting his hands on her?
She had thought Jiang Yang had truly changed, but this guy was still up to no good.
"Teacher Mo, don't forget, I still have our photos together."
Seeing that this was not working, Jiang Yang could only use their old photos to threaten Mo Li. As soon as he said it, she indeed yielded and stopped struggling, though her face was full of grievance.
Jiang Yang did not want to threaten her this way either, but the original owner had failed to sort out his relationship with Mo Li, so Jiang Yang could hardly be blamed.
"Take this. If you can, come over to my side."
"There isn't really any conflict between us, is there? I was just impulsive back then."
"If you come with me, I can guarantee you'll live well. I can also provide you with research facilities so you can continue your work."
Jiang Yang was telling the truth. If Mo Li was willing to come, he would definitely create the conditions she needed for research.
But Mo Li only wanted to break free of Jiang Yang's grip right now and could not take in a word he said.
Left with no choice, Jiang Yang grabbed Mo Li and kissed her.
Might as well have a taste first.
"Jiang Yang... mmph..."
It was not until the others were nearly finished with their Professional awakening ceremony that Jiang Yang finally released Mo Li with satisfaction. The woman he had longed for truly was different.
Before long, the fluorescent light around everyone faded, and the aura of Qiu Chan and the others had changed dramatically.
In a flash, Qiu Chan charged straight at Jiang Yang's face, only for Jiang Yang to pin her to the ground the next instant.
"You little brat, you've barely trained for two days and you already dare challenge your master?"
Jiang Yang raised a brow. This Qiu Chan was pretty arrogant, but he liked it.
"Why can't I still see your weaknesses?"
Qiu Chan could not help asking. She had originally thought she could not see Jiang Yang's weaknesses because they were not on the same level.
But after becoming a Level 1 Professional, she found that she still could not see any weaknesses.
That was truly baffling. Was Jiang Yang really that powerful?
"How are you supposed to see weaknesses that don't exist?"
Jiang Yang flicked Qiu Chan on the forehead. He did not know whether he had any weaknesses or not, but not being seen was a good thing.
With a cold snort, Chen Ke had also become a Level 1 Professional. But after he came to his senses, he suddenly noticed that Mo Li beside him was also glowing with the light of a Professional.
"Stop staring. I gave it to her." Jiang Yang said provocatively. They were both super Rich Second Generations, and the original owner had experience competing with other rich heirs for girls. It was nothing more than seeing who had more money.
And now, it was obvious that Chen Ke could not compete with Jiang Yang.
So he could only swallow his anger. But Jiang Yang had no intention of letting Chen Ke off, and he quietly activated his ability. Just then, someone else entered the Apocalypse Shop.
It was a young man covered in blood, with several places on his body scratched by Zombies. He looked as though he was about to mutate.
"Heh, I didn't expect this place to be so lively..."
The young man looked at Jiang Yang and the others, a trace of vigilance flashing through his eyes. In Jiang Yang's vision, the man's information appeared.
Name: Huang Zhu. Constitution: 10. Spirit: 10. Agility: 10. Job: None. Level: Level 0. Ability: Mutation. Skills: None.
All three of his attributes were at the limit of an ordinary person, and he even possessed a Mutation ability.
This ability was extremely powerful in the apocalypse, similar to a werewolf transformation. What one mutated into was not fixed, but Huang Zhu's mutation took the form of a ferocious wild boar.
Don't ask how Jiang Yang knew. Just say he had read the original novel.
"Don't be nervous. You're better suited to be a Basic Warrior..."
After greeting him, Jiang Yang immediately began introducing information that would be useful to Huang Zhu.
In the original novel, Huang Zhu was an enemy Ye Fan would not encounter until a month later. Jiang Yang had not expected to run into him here.
That truly surprised Jiang Yang. This was an enemy of the Son of the Plane; by all rights, with Jiang Yang's luck, he should never have encountered him.
"System, can an enemy of the Son of the Plane be brought over to my side?"
A smile played on Jiang Yang's lips. Like Qiu Chan, Huang Zhu would become an overwhelmingly powerful figure in the later stages of the apocalypse, except he was a thoroughly wicked man.
In the original novel, after Ye Fan was reborn, he became enemies with Huang Zhu a month later. It then took him over a year to scheme Huang Zhu to death.
But now that Jiang Yang had encountered him, perhaps he could bring him into his own team. As for Huang Zhu's great evil, there had been reasons behind it all.
Still, Jiang Yang possessed a plundering system. An enemy of the Son of the Plane should not fall within his plundering range, right? If he could plunder absolutely anything, that would be pretty damn absurd.
Enemies of the Son of the Plane may be recruited into your faction. Changing their Fate Trajectory may grant rewards.
The system's prompt arrived. It seemed the system was quite humane after all; not everything could be plundered.
"Why are you telling me this?"
Huang Zhu looked at Jiang Yang warily. If nothing unexpected happened, information regarding Professionals and the like should be extremely important at this stage.
Why would the other man tell him?
Huang Zhu was extremely wary of Jiang Yang. In the few days since the apocalypse began, order and morality had completely collapsed. There was no longer any such thing as helping others out of kindness.
Could this man be trying to deceive him?
Keeping a wary distance from Jiang Yang, Huang Zhu walked to the counter and placed all his belongings on it. Altogether, he had a little over ninety Apocalypse Coins, still not enough to exchange for a Job Scroll.
However, Huang Zhu did not leave. Instead, he continued browsing the items in the Apocalypse Store. As he came to understand the store better, his brows furrowed tightly. Jiang Yang had not been lying to him.
"Becoming a Professional requires more Apocalypse Coins, doesn't it?"
"I can give you a scroll."
Without another word, Jiang Yang directly purchased a Job Scroll from the store and handed it to Huang Zhu.
Seeing the confusion on the latter's face, Jiang Yang directly stated his intention: he hoped Huang Zhu would join him.
