Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 21

Hearing the system’s response, Ruan Tian paused in her movements. She had already prepared herself to be directly transported into the instance.

Since there was still an hour left, Ruan Tian wasn’t in a hurry and tidied up at a leisurely pace.

The Holographic Screen displayed the date as June 20th, 8:00 AM. Today’s weather was cloudy, 25º/33º.

A bit hot.

Ruan Tian opened Lin Zhixia’s wardrobe, which was filled with light-colored clothes.

Light pink, light blue, pale yellow, and the like.

As for white and beige, Ruan Tian had thrown them out the moment she moved in.

She hated white the most.

She casually picked out a pink sports outfit, took a shower, and cleaned herself up.

With Lin Father and Lin Mother no longer cooking, Ruan Tian now had to handle all three meals herself.

She stood on the second-floor staircase and glanced down at the first floor-a complete mess.

Ruan Tian had no desire to clean up.

She returned to her bedroom with a piece of bread in her mouth and called out to 001.

“System?”

[Host, I’m here.]

“What’s your name?”

[Host, my name is 001.]

Ruan Tian paused mid-chew.

After a moment, she asked, “Are all systems named like this?”

[No, Host. I detected that you prefer to use this name, so I adopted it. If you are not satisfied, you can change it at any time.]

As soon as 001’s electronic voice finished, a message popped up on Ruan Tian’s Holographic Screen.

[System Notification]

Detected that player Ruan Tian has triggered the ‘System Rename’ permission.

Current available operation: Customize system nickname

Input format: 2-6 characters (supports Chinese, English, numbers, and symbols)

After confirmation, the system will update the identification code and interaction title accordingly.

Change now?

[Yes] [No]

A helpful note was attached at the bottom of the screen: Changes take effect immediately, no cooldown period, and cannot be changed again~

Ruan Tian: “…”

Suddenly so considerate, she felt a bit unaccustomed.

“Too lazy to change it. Just stay as 001.”

[Alright, Host.]

“Let me ask, why did Lin Zhiqing end up hiding inside the body under your identity?”

[Sorry, Host. When player Lin Zhiqing used the Sacrificial Card, she hesitated and regretted midway, wanting to cancel the sacrifice. As a result, at the critical point of the ritual, she forcibly interrupted the spiritual link.]

[Her soul fragment was not fully separated from the original host’s body. Instead, using the residual energy of the Sacrificial Card, it attached itself to the body you took over in a semi-parasitic state.]

[Because your soul power is too strong, the moment you took over this body, my energy link was scattered and I was temporarily forced offline. Meanwhile, the remaining soul fragment of player Lin Zhiqing, using the lingering energy of the Sacrificial Card, attached itself to the gap in consciousness. Seizing the opportunity, she gained basic system permissions and imitated the system’s frequency to communicate with you.]

001 explained calmly and clearly.

After a pause, it added: [Host, sorry for the trouble caused during this period.]

“If apologies worked, what would we need the police for?”

Ruan Tian finished the last bite of bread. “Enough with the empty words, let’s talk compensation.”

001 fell silent.

Ruan Tian made a bold demand: “I saw those Skill Cards Lin Zhixia used yesterday-they looked pretty fun. I don’t have a single one. Give me the whole set.”

[001: …]

[Sorry, Host. For the sake of game balance, I can’t fulfill your request.]

Afraid Ruan Tian would make another request it couldn’t grant, 001 quickly added:

[I can help you apply to the Main System for a Compensation Blind Box.]
“What’s the use?”

[It’s about the same as a Golden Treasure Chest. There’s no empty chest effect-it’s guaranteed to drop something.]

Ruan Tian’s eyes lit up. There was actually something this good.

“One isn’t enough, give me two more.”

[Sorry, Host.]

001 rejected her request.

Ruan Tian tried to bargain with 001 for a while. Every sentence got a response, but none got her what she wanted.

No matter what she said, 001’s answer was always that same line: [Sorry, Host.]

Sometimes, a system with no emotional fluctuations could be pretty infuriating.

While Ruan Tian was chatting with 001, the hour was up.

She was mercilessly transported into a dungeon. Since she was now level 25, this time she was sent into an Orange Five-Star Hard Dungeon.

All the Wild Monsters were level 30.

Just like the previous mission, clearing the dungeon required killing a hundred Wild Monsters.

With her previous experience, Ruan Tian grabbed a kitchen knife from the kitchen when she entered, thinking that a kitchen knife had to be better than a Rusty Short Knife.

She was wrong.

The Short Dagger could at least last half an hour, but the kitchen knife only lasted a second before the blade was ruined.

001’s electronic voice sounded at just the right moment, clear and mechanical:

[Host, according to the system’s judgment, the kitchen knife is a life-type tool and does not have activated weapon attributes. Its base damage value is 5 points. A level 30 Wild Monster has a base defense of 300 points. When the defense value exceeds the attack value, no effective damage can be dealt. Instead, due to attribute restraint, the tool will be damaged. Only equipment generated through Weapon Cards can have attack power added according to their quality, allowing them to break through the Wild Monster’s defense threshold.]

Ruan Tian gritted her teeth and said, “Thanks for the science lesson now. Why didn’t you say anything when I picked up the kitchen knife earlier?”

[Host, you didn’t ask.]

Ruan Tian: “…”

“I’ll settle accounts with you after I finish this.”

She was afraid that if she kept talking to 001, she’d get so angry she’d hurt herself.

No weapon? Then bare hands it was.

She was strong anyway-twisting a neck was no problem for her.

It took Ruan Tian nearly two hours to kill a hundred Wild Monsters. Her clothes were stained with blood again-some from the monsters, some her own.

Aside from the basic supplies dropped, which were about the same as last time, this time she got twice as many White Treasure Chests as before-a full ten.

Since it was her second time, there was no double experience bonus. But level 30 Wild Monsters gave a lot of experience anyway, and with a hundred of them, even without the bonus, Ruan Tian still leveled up from 25 to 27.

She put all her loot into her backpack. The first thing she did after leaving the dungeon was take a shower.

Ruan Tian had just lathered up her hair with shampoo.

001 spoke up to remind her: “Host, three players have been detected entering the yard. They are now in the living room.”

“Are you peeking at me while I shower?”

[001: …]

[Host, 001 is just a string of numbers. It has no physical form, no gender, and no visual perception module. It can only detect the Host’s life signs and task-related status through data ports. It cannot and will not access any private scenes. Please rest assured.]

“That’s still not okay. When I’m showering, please shut yourself down.”

[Okay, Host.]

001 went offline without a hint of hesitation.

Apparently, the commotion last night had been quite loud. The three people downstairs probably thought the house was empty and came to try their luck.

The first floor was almost destroyed-they could come upstairs at any moment.

Thinking of this, Ruan Tian rinsed off even faster.
