Survival Game? But She's Already Slaughtered the Entire Server - Chapter 27

Xu Yan cleared her throat and earnestly volunteered, “Sister Ruan, I wasn’t at my best today, so the food didn’t taste quite right. Please give me another chance-I promise I’ll make you a meal you’ll be satisfied with.”

“Or, if you tell me what flavors you like, I’ll go learn how to make them.”

Da Tou and Xiao Hu: “…”

Such an obsequious attitude-was this really the Sister Yan they knew?

Unfortunately, they really couldn’t cook; otherwise, they would have tried to volunteer themselves.

In the end, of course, Ruan Tian mercilessly refused them.

Xu Yan and the other two tidied up the kitchen, and before leaving, thoughtfully closed the courtyard gate.

Ruan Tian was half-reclining on the sofa, idly flipping through the quests on the Holographic Screen.

She swiped away the Daily Quest right away.

She opened the page for the system’s earliest published tasks.

[Task 1: Kill Lin Father and Lin Mother.] (Completed)

[Task 2: Ruin Lin Zhixia’s face and kill her.] (In progress)

[Task 3: Kill Fang Senran.] (In progress)

Ruan Tian’s gaze lingered on Task 3 for a moment.

She suddenly asked, “001, before Lin Zhiqing died, she said to cancel Task 3. Does Task 3 still count as an active quest?”

[Host, once a quest is bound to a Sacrificial Card and confirmed as effective, it cannot be revoked or altered.]

[Even if the issuer wants to temporarily change the directive or actively abandon the quest, the system will forcibly lock the original settings.]

[Once a quest is published, it will continue according to the original rules until it is completed or completely failed.]

“Understood.”

No turning back once the arrow has been loosed.

Ruan Tian had no interest in the grudges between Lin Zhiqing and the others.

She just remembered those two who had escaped and couldn’t help but sigh softly.

Sometimes, you really can’t afford to hesitate.

Ruan Tian had only put on a slight act, but that was enough for Lin Zhiqing to let them go.

Who could have seen that coming?

They were the ones she was supposed to kill, yet in the end, they escaped because of her.

Ruan Tian couldn’t figure out what Lin Zhiqing was after.

As a thoughtful companion system, 001 promptly explained when it sensed the Host’s confusion:

[Host, this is probably what humans call love-addled.]

[Love and hate share the same root. Love breeds hate, hate breeds love, until in the end, you can’t tell one from the other and are just led by obsession. This is the paradox of human emotion: the more you try to break free, the tighter you’re bound.]

[This kind of feeling is usually very complicated.]

Ruan Tian: “…”

A bunch of nonsense-she hadn’t listened to a word of it.

She was still thinking about how to find Fang Senran and Lin Zhixia.

Killing them wasn’t hard-the hard part was finding them.

Fang Senran and Lin Zhixia didn’t seem like fools. Knowing she wanted to kill them, the chances of them showing up in front of her were almost zero.

If they really managed to hide for three months, wouldn’t she have to go back to that sunless hellhole?

Just imagining it made Ruan Tian shake her head.

No way.

She’d finally gotten out-she was here to enjoy life.

Her wonderful life was only just beginning.

Ruan Tian asked, “001, do you have anything that can help me find people directly?”

“Or something that can bring people straight to me?”

[Yes, Host.]

[There is a type of Skill Card called a Location Card. Enter the player’s name and ID, and you can directly lock onto their location.]

Ruan Tian’s eyes lit up-what a great item.

“Give me two.”

[001: …]

Even though it was just a string of emotionless code, faced with the Host’s brazen and unreasonable request, it couldn’t help but feel powerless.

[Sorry, Host. You don’t have enough coins to purchase a Location Card right now.]

[You can open Weapon Cards, which have a 0.00000001% chance of yielding a Location Card, or you can save up coins and buy one later.]
Ruan Tian: “How much is a Location Card?”

[Ten thousand gold coins per card, Host.]

Ruan Tian frowned: “…”

Is this price really reasonable?

She currently had ten Weapon Cards in her hand, and judging by her luck, her chance of drawing a Location Card was zero.

But gold coins weren’t easy to earn either-she was still in debt.

“001, give me two Location Cards. Put it on my tab for now, I’ll pay you back slowly later.”

Ruan Tian had only one thought: the more debt, the less it weighs on you.

Owing a little or a lot-what’s the difference?

[Sorry, Host. My permissions do not support a tab feature. All item purchases must be settled in real time with your current gold coin balance. Credit transactions are not possible.]

Ruan Tian said quietly, “You, a real system, aren’t even as good as the last fake one?”

[Host, it’s different. She exploited a loophole, but the Main System has already patched it.]

Ruan Tian: “…”

Acted too soon.

Unwilling to give up, Ruan Tian proposed several other ideas, all of which were rejected by 001.

In summary, if she wanted a Location Card, she’d have to either work hard to earn gold coins and buy it from the shop, or try her luck by opening Weapon Cards herself.

Trying to take shortcuts? No way.

Ruan Tian felt exhausted, slumping onto the sofa as if resigned to fate. “Besides the Daily Quest reward of 2 gold coins, are there any other ways to get gold coins?”

Relying on saving up two gold coins from daily quests to buy a Location Card was less hopeful than praying Fang Senran and Lin Zhixia would come to her themselves and let her kill them.

[There are, Host.]

At this, 001’s electronic voice sounded noticeably more cheerful.

It displayed the gold coin acquisition methods on the Holographic Screen for Ruan Tian to review.

[Please take a look, Host.]

Ruan Tian scrolled through slowly.

On the Holographic Screen, the various ways to obtain gold coins were clearly listed, with neat fonts, and each entry marked with approximate probability and quantity range.

1. Regular Quest Rewards: Completing Daily Quests drops 2 gold coins. Clearing instance quests, depending on difficulty (Easy/Normal/Hard), may yield 1–50 gold coins.

2. Wild Monster Drops: Wild Monsters outside of instance scenes have a certain chance to drop gold coins, quantity is random.

3. Leaderboard Rewards: At the end of each month, rewards are settled according to ranking, granting corresponding gold coin rewards.

4. Achievement Completion: Unlocking specific achievements (such as First Clear, First Kill, etc.) grants a one-time system-designated gold coin reward.

…

After reading, Ruan Tian suddenly felt that the odds of Fang Senran and Lin Zhixia coming to her to be killed were still higher.

She ignored 001, and took out the ten Weapon Cards from her backpack.

A naive thought popped into her mind.

What if? What if she really drew one?

With that in mind, Ruan Tian decided to open one and try her luck.

[Random Weapon Card]: A random card that can yield various Skill Cards.

[Open all at once?]

She had intended to open just one to see the result, but her hand moved too quickly and she accidentally clicked “Open All”.

A flash of white light, and several system messages appeared on the Holographic Screen.

[Congratulations, player Ruan Tian, for opening Random Weapon Cards and obtaining Special Skill Card [Dream Garden] *8]

[Congratulations, player Ruan Tian, for opening Random Weapon Cards and obtaining A-grade Weapon Card [Grandpa Zhou’s Cleaver] *1]

[Congratulations, player Ruan Tian, for opening Random Weapon Cards and obtaining Special Skill Card [Starlight Shower] *1]

…

No Location Card, as expected.

Ruan Tian didn’t dwell on it, and casually checked the information on several Skill Cards.

[Dream Garden]: Upon activation, generates an illusory garden, soothing emotions, dispelling restlessness, and bringing physical and mental comfort. Duration: one day.

[Starlight Shower]: Summons a sky full of starlight, transforming into a healing rain, restoring stamina to targets within range and dispelling negative statuses.
