"It's a long story. After I took out the Time Zombie Emperor, the apocalypse ended, but then I was dumped into this world. I have to earn Crystal Cores before I can go back!
As for your Dog Brother, he's doing great. He saw the wooden carving you made for him, too, and treasures it like crazy. He keeps it next to his bowl every day and hugs it to sleep every night."
Chen Jian grew bashful, scratching his head and chuckling sheepishly, his face visibly flushed.
"Then we'll help you hunt for Crystal Cores!"
"Right, we'll all help! That'll make it faster!"
Bai Yaoyao sighed again. "If it were that easy, why would I waste time explaining all this to you? I'd have gone out to kill zombies ages ago.
The zombies I kill don't have any Crystal Cores! By earning Crystal Cores, I mean running a shop. I sell meals and offer lodging, and only the Crystal Cores I earn from customers spending money there count."
At that, the group really couldn't hold it in. After struggling for a while, they burst out laughing.
"Sister Yao, you've really got it rough!"
"Actually, if this happened to someone else, it might count as a good thing? But... hahaha."
Seeing Bai Yaoyao's face darken by the second, Li Pengliang hurriedly called his buddies to a stop. "Stop laughing! It's so inappropriate... hahahaha!"
"You lot... have gotten quite lively, huh? Need me to give you some pointers and spar with you?"
Everyone hurriedly stood up and took a step back.
"No, no need!"
Was she kidding? Sparring with Sister Yao? They'd have to have a death wish!
"Sister Yao, I get it. You want me to organize these students and bring them over to spend money at your place?"
"Exactly!" Bai
