To be honest, Lin Zhiluo hadn't planned to believe it at first.

But the system was offering him far too much!

As everyone knew, the Doomsday Game was incredibly difficult.

The difficulty lay in the fact that the combined drop rate for items, equipment, supplies, skill books, and the like from killing zombies was only 1%.

This wasn't something Lin Zhiluo had simply guessed.

After doomsday, a large number of researchers had determined it through extensive data testing.

A 1% drop rate, and most of the time, what dropped would be survival supplies like food and water.

Just thinking about it made his scalp tingle.

Those with bad luck had it even worse.

If it weren't for the numerous dungeon teleportation arrays in every city, where people could enter all kinds of dungeons to obtain equipment, supplies, Gold Coins, and other items, very few would actually have survived.

And now, this Golden Finger System was telling Lin Zhiluo that—

The 1% drop rate had been raised all the way to 100%.

That meant every zombie he killed was guaranteed to drop an item.

Lin Zhiluo couldn't even imagine what that would look like.

"Are you sure this Golden Finger can do the job?" Lin Zhiluo asked tentatively.

"Ding. Absolute Drop Rate is now active. Host, please use it with confidence."

A golden panel appeared before Lin Zhiluo.

[Doomsday Game Cheat System] Name: Lin Zhiluo Current Level: Level 0 (One Golden Finger attribute can be activated every ten levels) Super Golden Finger: 1. Absolute Drop Rate: Increases the drop rate from all zombies killed by the player during the game from 1% to 100%. Golden Finger Tasks: None Ordinary Golden Fingers: None

"Ding. The host's level corresponds to his in-game level. For every ten levels gained, the host can draw one Super Golden Finger. Completing tasks issued by the Golden Finger System will reward the host with Ordinary Golden Fingers, equipment, items, and more."

The surprise was overwhelming.

Lin Zhiluo, who had been sitting on the ground, stood up.

He'd never imagined that he would actually obtain a cheat system like this.

At the same time, an idea came to mind.

He would take down the Li Family.

Originally, after getting revenge on Li Haobo, Lin Zhiluo had planned to lie low for a while.

He would keep to himself and grow stronger before considering how to gradually eat away at the Li Family.

Being hunted for ten years had taught him one thing: getting stronger was what mattered most.

As for the Li Family, which had always shielded Li Haobo and Yao Jinghan—

That colossal force commanded a vast population and would eventually establish Li City.

The difficulty of destroying the Li Family was obvious.

But the appearance of the Golden Finger System had given Lin Zhiluo hope.

The Li Family?

Just wait and see.

The satisfaction Lin Zhiluo had felt after avenging himself had only grown stronger after he obtained the Golden Finger System.

He picked up Yao Jinghan's head from the ground, then hauled up the headless body slumped in the chair, its flesh already mangled from the torture.

He stuffed both pieces of "trash" into a large garbage bin in the corner of the warehouse.

Then he tossed in his bloodstained clothes as well.

He took a clean change of clothes from the backpack behind him and put them on.

Less than an hour remained before the Doomsday Game descended.

He still needed to prepare a few things.

Then Lin Zhiluo slipped his hands into his pockets and strolled out of the warehouse with a calm, carefree expression.

Who could have guessed that the campus belle of Modu University lay in that abandoned warehouse, her head separated from her body?

A crowd had gathered on the sports field.

The reason was that the entire sky had turned bloodred.

This "spectacle" seemed romantic to the young couples.

Under the crimson sky, they embraced their loved ones and whispered sweet nothings.

With a small bag on his back, Lin Zhiluo made his way to the little shop beside the sports field.

"Auntie, give me three bottles of water and five loaves of bread," Lin Zhiluo said.

After paying the shopkeeper, he stuffed the things he'd bought into his backpack.

Supplies could be obtained from zombies, after all.

With a 100% drop rate, he didn't need to worry about getting nothing.

But he was buying these things just to make sure the Golden Finger System was actually reliable.

What if nothing dropped?

The most important thing now, though, was figuring out how to get off to a perfect start.

After buying the supplies, Lin Zhiluo went straight out of the school.

As everyone knew, university campuses were among the more dangerous places after doomsday arrived.

They were densely populated, and the people there were mostly young.

Once turned into zombies, their excellent physical condition made them an enormous threat to other humans.

That was because, in the Doomsday Game, level wasn't the key factor. A person's basic attributes mattered most.

A professionally trained special forces soldier at level zero could easily beat ordinary players at levels five or six.

So after leaving the school, Lin Zhiluo headed to a secluded little hotel two streets away.

He hurried inside and saw the owner lounging in a chair.

"Boss, I'd like a room by the hour." Lin Zhiluo tapped on the counter to get his attention.

"A single room's 40 an hour," the boss said lazily without getting up.

"I know. And send Number 3 over, too." As he spoke, Lin Zhiluo transferred the last 300 yuan he had.

The boss sat up from his rocking chair and gave him a once-over. "Huh, never seen you before. But 300 it is. I'll waive the room charge. Go on up yourself. Number 3 will be there soon."

With that, the boss tossed him the key to Room 209.

Lin Zhiluo took it without a word and headed upstairs.

"You're here to have fun with a woman, and you're still acting so high and mighty?" the boss muttered as he watched Lin Zhiluo go up.

That's right. This little hotel's main business was sex.

How did Lin Zhiluo know?

Ahem, don't get the wrong idea. He'd been here after doomsday.

Lin Zhiluo had a simple reason for coming here: to complete an achievement.

According to his memories, Number 3, a technician at this little hotel, would eventually become an early-game boss in this area.

That was the first boss Lin Zhiluo had ever killed.

Since she was a boss, she would definitely transform into a zombie when doomsday arrived instead of getting infected.

Lin Zhiluo wanted to find somewhere with few people and kill a zombie as quickly as possible to complete the task.

Without a doubt, Number 3 was the obvious choice.

He entered Room 209.

It was cramped and smelled awful.

Its only redeeming feature was that it had a shower.

After all, ahem, you know.

Lin Zhiluo went straight into the bathroom and turned on the shower.

After washing up, Lin Zhiluo came out feeling refreshed.

He put all his clothes back on.

Then he checked his phone. 6:55.

Only five minutes remained until the Doomsday Game arrived.

Just then, someone knocked on the door.

"Knock, knock, knock."

"Hello, I'm the Number 3 technician you called."

"Come in. The door's unlocked," Lin Zhiluo replied.

The door opened.

A woman dressed provocatively, with heavy makeup and black stockings, walked in with a cigarette between her lips.

The moment she saw Lin Zhiluo, her eyes lit up.

Well, well. Didn't expect a handsome guy. Not bad.

But when she saw Lin Zhiluo lying on the bed, fully dressed, she frowned.

She spoke impatiently. "What's wrong with you? You don't even know to take your clothes off? Hurry up. I've got another customer waiting."
