Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 12

The small detached courtyard before her eyes was not large, but it exuded a refreshing sense of comfort.

The iron fence surrounding it was covered in climbing rose vines, their blossoms in full bloom, mingling scents both strong and light with the fresh smell of earth, adding a touch of spontaneous vitality.

Looking through the iron fence…

Inside the yard, two neat little vegetable plots had been set up. The newly sprouted greens were so tender they seemed to drip with moisture, a lush patch of green crowded together, growing with remarkable vigor.

Ruan Tian confirmed with 001, “Is this the place?”

[Yes, Host.]

Receiving 001’s affirmative answer, Ruan Tian pressed the doorbell.

She waited for a while, but no one answered, so Ruan Tian pressed it a few more times in succession.

As expected, after a few minutes, still no one came.

By now, the sun was out, and the air had grown noticeably hotter.

Ruan Tian’s patience was nearly exhausted.

She considered simply breaking down the door.

Just as she was about to act, a sharp, scolding voice of a middle-aged woman rang out from inside the courtyard, impatient even through the fence:

“Lin Zhiqing, what are you doing? You haven’t come home for days, and now you want to smash the door as soon as you return? Got some nerve, haven’t you? Let me tell you, don’t think hiding out for a few days makes you tough. Get in here, now!”

“Alright.”

Ruan Tian replied lightly, the corners of her mouth curving into a faint smile, but her eyes held no trace of amusement-only a cold indifference bordering on apathy.

[001 reminded: Host, this is their usual trick. Whenever wo…]

At this point, 001 paused, then continued: [In the past, whenever Lin Zhiqing did something that didn’t go their way, they would deliberately ignore her, leave her outside the door, not let her in or leave. They themselves would stay inside, just watching her outside.]

[Only when she tried to force her way in or leave, doing something extreme, would they come out to stop her.]

After hearing 001’s explanation, the curve of Ruan Tian’s lips vanished for a moment.

A dangerous aura spread silently.

Unfortunately, neither Lin Mother nor 001 noticed.

Lin Mother, still muttering curses, opened the door for Ruan Tian, and naturally ordered, “You came back just in time. Your father and I haven’t eaten yet. Go make breakfast for us. The porridge is warming in the pot, fry a few eggs, and remember to use plenty of sesame oil-your father likes it.”

She spoke as she walked into the house, not even glancing at Ruan Tian’s expression, as if the person before her was not her daughter she hadn’t seen for days, but a servant at her beck and call.

At the entrance to the living room, she turned back to glare at Ruan Tian, “Hurry up, stop dawdling.”

“After you finish cooking, go clean up Xia Xia’s room. When Xia Xia comes back, you need to apologize to her properly.”

“And about you and Xiao Fang, your father and I have discussed it-we don’t agree.”

“Xiao Fang is such an outstanding young man. If it weren’t for him, your father and I wouldn’t have a stable place to live in this game, or hot meals every day.”

“…”

Seeing that Ruan Tian remained silent, just standing at the door with her eyes lowered.

Lin Mother thought she had convinced her, her tone softened a little, but still carried a condescending arrogance: “Zhiqing, you need to recognize your place. You’ve always been ordinary since childhood, never as good as Xia Xia, and your looks are nothing special. Xiao Fang and Xia Xia are a perfect match, so don’t meddle-just behave yourself.”

“Xia Xia is your own younger sister, kind-hearted since she was little, she definitely won’t treat you unfairly.”

“Last time, when Xia Xia came back covered in injuries, your father and I were terrified. Even then, she didn’t forget to speak well of you, saying you didn’t do it on purpose.”
“We don’t expect you to be as outstanding as Lin Zhixia, but if you could be half as obedient and sensible as her, we wouldn’t have such a hard time.”

“…”

Lin Mother was nagging outside, while 001 was going crazy inside Ruan Tian’s mind.

[That’s nonsense, nonsense, all nonsense.]

[Lin Zhixia is shameless, seducing her sister’s boyfriend. She’s the most hypocritical, most disgusting person. Fang Senran is eating from one bowl while eyeing the pot, couldn’t let go of Lin Zhixia from the start, shouldn’t have agreed to Lin Zhiqing at all. Pretending to date Lin Zhiqing on the surface, but secretly tangled with Lin Zhixia behind her back. Scumbag and slut, they both deserve to die.]

001’s electronic voice was so sharp it nearly cracked, trembling uncontrollably:

[Lin Zhixia, Lin Zhixia… It’s always Lin Zhixia.]

“You all only ever see Lin Zhixia’s good side. Has anyone ever cared about Lin Zhiqing’s grievances?”

[Damn it, damn it, you all deserve to die.]

Ruan Tian lowered her eyes and sat down on the nearest sofa, quietly listening to the madness of both human and system.

001 lost control for a while, then, realizing what happened, its electronic voice suddenly stuttered, as if someone had pressed pause.

Immediately after, its voice became hurried and flustered, with obvious static interference: “S-sorry! Host. Just now… just now I was affected by Lin Zhiqing’s past data.”

[Please don’t overthink it.]

001’s program stuttered intermittently, its indicator light flashing wildly, like a heart suspended in midair, so nervous it didn’t dare make a sound.

Ruan Tian curved her lips slightly, her tone calm and unruffled: “You used to be her system, it’s understandable that you’re influenced by her.”

Hearing Ruan Tian’s words, it finally breathed a sigh of relief. The data stream gradually stabilized, and its suspended heart slowly settled back in place.

This time, it didn’t dare speak recklessly again.

Lin Mother talked herself hoarse, and seeing that Ruan Tian not only didn’t move but even sat down, looking completely unconcerned, her anger flared up instantly.

“Lin Zhiqing, I’m talking to you, did you hear me?”

Ruan Tian lounged lazily on the sofa, looking utterly relaxed and enjoying herself.

The Lin family’s sofa was much more comfortable than her wooden plank bed.

The environment was nice too, facing south, with the sunlight slanting in just right, falling warmly on the carpet at her feet.

There was a faint scent of aromatherapy in the air, unlike her tiny studio, which only smelled of damp, moldy walls.

She wondered, if she kicked them out, would this house become hers?

At this moment, Ruan Tian was already thinking about how to take over this courtyard.

Faced with Lin Mother’s aggressive questioning, Ruan Tian lazily lifted her eyelids: “Stop yelling. Weren’t you saying I should apologize to Lin Zhixia? Where is she?”

“And that other person, call them back too.”

Get everyone together and settle it all at once-so much less trouble than dealing with them one by one.

“Lin Zhiqing, you unfilial girl, is that how you talk to your mother?”

A middle-aged man came down from the stairs on the second floor, his posture rigid, face expressionless, except for his eyes, which seemed to be frozen over, looking at Lin Zhiqing with nothing but disdain and disgust.

He walked up to Lin Zhiqing, looking down at her from above, and said with contempt: “If I’d known you’d be so insensible, I should’ve drowned you in the toilet as soon as you were born.”

“Like a debt collector, ever since you came to this family, there’s never been a peaceful day.”

His voice was cold and hard as iron, every word like a poisoned needle: “Eating my food, drinking my drinks, raised you this big, and all you do is cause trouble. Look at your sister, then look at you-it’s like heaven and earth. How could I have a daughter like you? You’ve completely disgraced me!”
