Now that's a master of time management!

No one had bought the venomous snake Lin Feng had listed on the exchange yet, but he wasn't in a hurry. He believed someone would choose to eat it raw even without fire.

At this point, Lin Feng still needed 12 kilograms of wood and 98 kilograms of iron to upgrade.

Lin Feng swallowed as he looked at the filled chocolate bar clutched in his hand.

He was already getting hungry.

Dismantling desks in the classroom earlier had taken quite a bit out of him, and now he had gone so long without eating.

"I'll drink some water first."

Lin Feng gulped down several mouthfuls of mineral water, which at least put something in his stomach.

At that moment, the elevator doors closed automatically.

The next day, Lin Feng woke up from hunger, along with an urge to pee so strong his bladder felt ready to burst.

"Fuck, I shouldn't have drunk that water yesterday."

Lin Feng looked frantic. He couldn't just piss in the elevator. He still had to fucking live here.

Fortunately, it was ten in the morning, only two hours until noon.

"Beep. The floor you are about to enter contains five weakling zombies. If you have a weapon, you can attempt to kill them. There is a food supply crate in the center of the floor. Opening it will yield three bottles of clean water, two cans of beef, and one dose of special antibiotics (can cure most common illnesses). One of the zombies has a working lighter in its pocket."

"Beep! Choice quest triggered. Please make your choice."

[Choice one: enter the floor and kill five zombies. Reward: one P229 and three spare magazines.]

[Choice two: hide in the elevator and do not enter the floor. Reward: one sharp fruit knife.]

Lin Feng took a deep breath. He hadn't expected there to be choice quests too. Choice one was definitely the best, but could he really beat five zombies?

Lin Feng looked at the sharp machete in his hand.

"Fuck it! The bold die stuffed, the timid starve. I'm going all in! Choice one!"

Lin Feng psyched himself up, then quietly waited for noon to arrive.

That food supply crate was extremely important to him, not to mention the system's quest reward. A handgun-surely that would make him invincible at this stage?

"A front kick with the left, a side kick with the right, then wham, wham-two slashes!"

Lin Feng warmed up as he spoke.

[Ding-dong! Elevator descending. Please hold on tight!]

The elevator announcement sounded, and Lin Feng's heart began pounding.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous. After all, he had never been in a fight in his life, and now he had to face five bloodthirsty zombies.

Maybe I shouldn't go out?

A voice rose in Lin Feng's mind, but he quickly rejected it.

He had already bonded with a system. Was he really going to keep being a coward?

"Let's do this!"

Once the sensation of weightlessness faded, Lin Feng pressed the door-open button.

"Where are the zombies?"

Lin Feng looked at the empty room before him, puzzled.

Could there be more than one room on this floor?

Lin Feng continued forward. The air smelled foul too, and he soon spotted a warped iron door.

Gulp...

Lin Feng swallowed, then reached out and pushed the iron door open.

"Roar!!!!"

The moment he opened the door, a zombie lunged at him.

"Holy fuck!"

Startled, Lin Feng swung his hand forward on reflex. With a wet squelch, the blade in his hand chopped into the zombie's head.

Black blood slowly trickled down the machete onto Lin Feng's hand.

"Th-that easy?"

Lin Feng stared at the zombie he had hacked to death, still finding it hard to believe.

But the other four zombies weren't going to give him such an easy chance. They roared and charged at him.

I can't fight them. No way in hell!

Without another word, Lin Feng ran back into the elevator. After passing through the iron doorway, the four zombies simply stood there dumbly, as though they really couldn't see the elevator.

"Huh?"

Lin Feng's eyes shifted. A good idea suddenly came to him.

Lin Feng stepped one leg out of the elevator.

The zombies were immediately drawn over.

"Roar!"

When Lin Feng brought his leg back inside the elevator, the zombies stopped again.

"Heh! Does this count as a bug?"

Then Lin Feng began some top-tier enemy luring.

In, out, in, out, in, out, in and out, in and out...

Finally, after several minutes, all four zombies stood in a neat row at the elevator entrance. Now Lin Feng only had to extend his arm a little to smash a zombie's head open.

Thwack!

One zombie's skull split open. The other three instantly roared and tried to bite Lin Feng's arm, but he pulled it back inside.

"Roar!"

"Roar my ass!"

Thwack!

Another zombie's skull split open.

Lin Feng used the same trick to smash open the remaining two zombies' heads. This machete really was fucking awesome. Even after cracking five heads in a row, it was still incredibly sharp.

Back in the outside world, it would at least qualify for a ten-yuan shop.

"Beep. Quest completed. Distributing rewards..."

After the system finished speaking, a compact P229 and three magazines appeared in Lin Feng's hands. He counted thirteen rounds in each magazine. The gun didn't even come with a magazine loaded. How inconsiderate!

With half an hour left, Lin Feng hurried to the center of the floor and found the food supply crate.

"It's iron too?"

Delighted, Lin Feng picked up the crate and ran back to the elevator, then searched the zombies' bodies. He had to admit, the smell really was nauseating, but he had no choice if he wanted to survive.

The lighter would definitely be useful. If he obtained any raw food later, he could cook it over a fire on a floor. As for starting a fire by drilling wood like that guy had, sorry, Lin Feng didn't know how.

"Finally found it. It's even windproof!"

Lin Feng put the lighter in his pocket, and then a terrifying urge to pee hit him!

His adrenaline had been surging earlier, making the urge vanish completely. Now that he had calmed down, Lin Feng nearly failed to hold it in.

"I can't hold it!"

Seeing that he still had ten minutes left, Lin Feng sighed in relief, then hurried to a corner to relieve himself.

Ah, relief~

Just as Lin Feng was about to return to the elevator, he suddenly remembered that the door seemed to be iron too! No, he couldn't let it go to waste!

To upgrade as quickly as possible, Lin Feng decisively picked up his machete and walked toward the iron door.

Bang, bang, bang!

Bang, bang, bang!

Fortunately, the iron door hadn't been very sturdy to begin with. After bashing its rusted hinges a few times with the machete, Lin Feng successfully took it down.

There was still one minute before the elevator doors closed.

"Heh, now that's a master of time management!"

Lin Feng wiped the zombie blood off his hands as he spoke smugly.

Still, he had better clean off that zombie blood as soon as possible. If he accidentally got infected, that would be awkward.
