Gu Qianqian felt that her life was truly miserable.
In her previous life, she had gotten ten consecutive wrong draws in gacha.
In this life, she had become a roadside villain who would get kicked by the heroine.
Now she had also offended Wang Feng, Yu Ni, and Quan Anrong.
She could already see her tragic future waving at her.
Speaking of this, Gu Qianqian couldn’t help but think of this body’s chilling family situation.
The world was so big, yet there was no place for her to stay!?
It was painful. She wanted to cry……
Just as Gu Qianqian was about to wipe away her tears, the moment she raised her hand, she was nearly knocked out by the stench.
“Damn host, I’ve even started to pity you.”
“If you pity me, then give me some Favor Points!” What was the use of just talking without doing anything?
“I want to…… Sigh, forget it…… Seeing how pitiful you are, damn host, I’ll make an exception and operate illegally this time……”
Gu Qianqian had originally thought the Damn System was going to say something sarcastic again.
But in the next second, she felt that her head was no longer dizzy, and her nose could no longer smell the stench.
(°▽°)/
“Smell shielding! I’m good to you, right!? (￣ω￣)”
“Damn System, you’re finally doing something humane!”
“Hmph! If you keep calling me Damn System, I’ll cancel it!”
Fine.
Seeing that it had helped her operate illegally and saved her Favor Points, she wouldn’t call it Damn System today.
“Hehe, good system. I was just joking. By the way, can you help me operate again and let me buy on credit?”
“That won’t work. I’ll get discovered.”
Useless!
Gu Qianqian let out a sigh.
Forget it.
People should be content with what they have.
Having it was better than not having it.
If she wasn’t so unsure about whether she could earn another 10 Favor Points today, she wouldn’t have wanted to buy on credit either.
Fortunately, she hadn’t used the 20 Favor Points yet.
Even if danger appeared later, she could still temporarily ask the system to exchange for some props or items that could help her survive.
However, doing so would mean losing the opportunity to exchange for a long-term ability.
She didn’t know how long it would take to earn it back.
And before that, would she have already been killed by Lin Feiyu?
But thinking so much right now was useless.
She had been assigned to the logistics vehicle.
Before arriving at the designated location, she probably wouldn’t meet Lin Feiyu again.
Naturally, there was also no way to farm Favor Points.
No matter how hard she tried to think of ways, it would be useless.
After processing a few more magic frogs, Gu Qianqian raised her head and looked out the car window.
The scenery of Wind City rapidly receded through the small iron-barred windows.
Although it was the apocalypse, human civilization clearly hadn’t regressed.
Instead, it had been forced to bring out even stronger potential in the face of danger.
The tall buildings looked very sturdy.
Not only the outer walls, but even the roads had been hardened and reinforced with steel.
In addition, besides the main roads, most roads were not wide, and there were many branching paths.
This was to provide more space to escape and maneuver when monsters attacked.
Although it also increased the difficulty of pursuit.
On the streets, one could see patrolling personnel in uniform everywhere.
They held magic-powered guns and patrolled in groups of three to five.
For them, they not only had to guard against possible monsters, but more importantly, they had to guard against humans themselves.
Because it was the apocalypse, many people would break down under high pressure and turn to crime.
Therefore, in normal times, humans themselves were even more terrifying than monsters.
For example, biochemical experiments, robbing stores, revenge killings and gang fights……
Those things were all too common.
While recalling the memories left behind by the original owner in her mind, Gu Qianqian compared them with the scenery flying past outside.
The city in the apocalypse had lost some of its vitality and gained a lot more desolation.
There was very little greenery on both sides of the roads, and there were not many vehicles.
In this apocalyptic fortress where every inch of land was precious, there was basically no space left for plants to grow.
The most important thing was that many plants would turn into monsters under certain conditions and attack humans.
Therefore, the types that could be safely planted were not many.
As for vehicles, they consumed energy.
Not many civilian families could afford them.
Just like that, while processing magic frogs and collecting juice from blood-thorn vines, Gu Qianqian watched the scenery outside.
Time passed by second by second.
Not long after, Wind City Academy’s convoy arrived at the East Gate.
The tall and majestic city walls looked to be dozens of meters high.
Even though the sun was shining brightly in the afternoon, the shadows here were very large.
It was very cold.
The wind at the city gate was strong, and there were even more personnel responsible for guarding and patrolling.
Gu Qianqian also got off the vehicle with the others, then returned to her class’s line to queue up for inspection and registration.
This was a necessary procedure for entering and exiting the gate normally.
Not to mention that this was the entire second-year off-campus practical training of the academy.
In order to make it easier to find problem points if an accident occurred, this procedure was even more necessary.
Fortunately, it wasn’t very troublesome.
Besides enjoying Yu Ni and Quan Anrong’s “I’m going to kill you” gazes while queuing, everything went smoothly.
After registration was completed, the huge city gate rose.
The academy convoy officially passed through the city wall and came outside.
Outside Wind City was a wilderness.
Various plants whose names she couldn’t call grew taller than people.
Those sharp thorns and leaves looked just like something from a fairy tale picture book she had seen when she was a child.
Gu Qianqian suddenly had the feeling of coming to another world to adventure.
She really wanted to ask if there was an Adventurers’ Guild and if she could become an adventurer.
But the moment she thought about it, she abandoned this immature idea.
First of all, forget whether there was an Adventurers’ Guild or not.
Even if there was, with her battle-five-slug strength, forget about adventuring — she would probably get cut by those plant leaves just walking on the road, and then cry for a long time.
What suited her was to obtain the Alchemist Certificate as soon as possible and become a precious alchemist.
Wherever she went, she would be loved and supported.
That was the true path.
Fighting and killing didn’t suit a girl.
***
Right after leaving the city gate, the academy convoy didn’t hurry to move.
Instead, they stopped beside the outer wall and let the students first adapt to the outside environment.
After all, among these several hundred students, many were coming outside the city walls for the first time.
For immature minors like them who had neither seen the world nor had strength, it was basically impossible to leave the city on their own.
The guards wouldn’t allow it either.
At this moment, under the watch of teachers and guards, they stared at the distant scenery and let out exclamations.
Gu Qianqian had smartened up.
She stood right next to Teacher Xu Ming and several guards, temporarily dispelling Yu Ni and Quan Anrong’s thoughts of coming over to settle the score with her when they had the chance.
However, those fierce and vicious gazes never stopped staring at her for a moment.
It was as if they cared about this shorty’s whereabouts even more than Gu Qianqian’s own mother.
This put the little blue-haired girl under immense pressure, but she also had to admire her own intelligence.
But what Gu Qianqian didn’t expect was that Yu Ni and the others didn’t come to find her.
Instead, Lin Feiyu walked over.
The heroine looked very captivating in her school uniform.
However, Gu Qianqian didn’t dare to look too much.
She lowered her head somewhat fearfully.
“Teacher Xu, I have something to discuss with Classmate Gu Qianqian. Can I take her over there to talk privately?”
Lin Feiyu’s voice was very pleasant.
The gentle and captivating tone she had put on made Xu Ming nod.
“Do you need any help from me?”
His information was still stuck at the stage where Gu Qianqian had bullied Lin Feiyu.
At this moment, he was quite puzzled why Lin Feiyu had taken the initiative to find Gu Qianqian.
Could it be that this bad student Gu Qianqian had threatened Lin Feiyu behind the scenes again?
That was why he asked this question.
“Thank you, Teacher. But it’s fine. I just want to chat with my classmate.”
If it weren’t for the fact that Lin Feiyu looked calm and composed with no sign of suffering, Xu Ming might not have agreed no matter what.
Instead, it was Gu Qianqian who looked at him with a gaze like she was asking for help, making Xu Ming confused.
After being taken by the heroine to a place nearby with no people, Gu Qianqian immediately became cowardly.
“G-g-g-g-great sis, is there something you need?”
“Can’t I look for you if there’s nothing wrong?” Lin Feiyu changed from her earlier gentle tone.
Her voice was so cold that it made people shiver.
“Let me tell you, Gu Qianqian. Without my order, you’re not allowed to leave my sight on your own.”
“Even to go to the toilet?” The shorty looked at her pitifully.
The heroine wouldn’t be this perverted, right?
“Heh, no. If you can’t hold it in, you can just find any place to solve it.”
How was that any different from shitting in the wild?!
“I, I understand……”
“I heard you were assigned to the logistics vehicle?”
The shorty nodded with an ugly expression.
“Wang Feng, that dog thing, still didn’t let me off.”
In front of the heroine, she wasn’t afraid to badmouth her homeroom teacher.
After all, the system had said that Wang Feng was also one of the heroine’s revenge targets.
Sure enough, after hearing this, the heroine not only didn’t get angry, but the corner of her mouth even slightly curved upward.
“I have a task for you.”
“W-w-what?”
Gu Qianqian immediately became a bit vigilant.
The heroine’s task?
No matter how she thought about it, it didn’t sound like anything good.
“A good task.” Lin Feiyu took out the bottle of strengthening potion Zu Xingyu had given her from her pocket.
“After you complete it, this is yours.”
This good!?
Gu Qianqian, who understood that there was no such thing as a free lunch, swallowed and asked, “What do you want me to do?”
“It’s very simple. While you’re on the logistics vehicle, find an opportunity to steal some things for me.”
