Chapter 8 Seeing Hope
“Who…what the hell…what the hell…what the hell!”
Jingtian was stunned at first, then he jumped up and shouted loudly: "System, are you awake? You finally woke up!"
Jingtian was so excited that tears came out!
It has been a year. He has been waiting for the system to wake up for a whole year. If he hadn't complained several times a day, he would have forgotten about this thing.
This damn system threw him into such a safe house and then just ignored him.
"Whether to absorb the energy, if the host does not confirm, it will be automatically regarded as giving up after three seconds, three..."
"Sure, so damn sure! So you need the energy of zombie crystal cores to restart, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
Jingtian complained in his heart.
"Absorb two level 2 zombie crystal cores, convert 6 points of energy, deduct the 4 points owed by the host, and there are 2 points left!"
The system's mechanical voice ignored Jingtian's emotions and reported on its own.
"Wait, what energy points? And... when the hell did I owe 4 energy points?"
"All the host's food, lodging, water, electricity, etc. in a year are converted from the system's energy. Naturally, you owe it to the system. Work hard to earn energy!"
Although the system still uses electronic synthesized sound, it seems to have a little bit of emotion in it.
"So everything here is exchanged for energy points? I thought they were all free gifts from the safe house!"
"System, let's discuss this. Can you let me leave this safe house for a while? I'll go back to Hai City and pick up Grandpa Jing and his brothers and sisters from the orphanage?"
"Hey, system, say something!"
"What's going on? Isn't it crashing again?"
Jingtian was quite excited at first and said a lot of things in a row .
But I soon realized something was wrong. The system didn't respond to me at all!
"What the hell! What the hell! Are you trying to do this again? Get out here!"
"Your grandma's system, you wake up when you see good things, and then pretend to be dead after eating them?"
"Come out here, or I'll smash your console... cough cough!"
"Grandpa, aunt, please come out and say something, even just one word will do..."
Jingtian used both soft and hard methods on the system, but unfortunately it was of no use.
The system disappeared !
If the crystal core in his hand had not disappeared, Jingtian would even have thought it was an illusion.
"Damn! You're so cruel!"
"I will deal with you after I wake you up!"
Jingtian struggled for a few minutes and confirmed that the system had really disappeared again. He could only complain and comfort himself.
But after thinking about it, Jingtian was still quite happy.
At least I won't have to wait blindly anymore.
The short-lived success of the system gave him a glimmer of hope.
That is to collect crystal cores for the system to absorb!
"But...how can I collect the crystal cores?"
"If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have let the Wang brothers and sisters leave!"
Soon, Jingtian felt depressed again.
I came to the luxurious bedroom with a swimming pool on the third floor, took a look at the drone and found that it was only 60% charged. I shook my head helplessly.
This thing can only fly for an hour a day, and then needs to be fully charged for 20 hours before it can be restarted.
After a small ripple, life returned to calm.
No matter how Jingtian complained about the system or how he thought about it, he finally returned to his daily entertainment mode and ran to the rooftop to practice Tai Chi.
Jingtian practices boxing purely to kill time. His boxing skills are just for strengthening his body. Tai Chi in particular can also make his mentality calmer.
After practicing boxing for an hour, I returned to the villa and started lying down until the evening when my stomach protested.
Turn on all the lights in the villa, making your villa a dazzling pearl in the entire ruined city.
Then I went downstairs to the kitchen to prepare dinner.
There are three magical features of the safe house villa.
The first is absolute protection.
The second is that Jingtian can control everything in the safe house, but he is used to the normal lifestyle and rarely uses this control ability.
The third is the two magical system .
A cupboard and a refrigerator.
As long as there is a shortage of food or vegetables or meat, it will be replenished the next day.
Although it won’t be much, it is definitely not a problem for two or three people to eat it.
Jingtian went from being amazed at the beginning to being used to it now.
After all, there is no logic in the existence of the system itself, and nothing the system produces is surprising.
Jingtian began to occasionally use drones to collect some edible snacks in the city ruins.
But Jingtian soon discovered that those things were simply inedible compared to the food he made.
So from then on, cooking became one of Jingtian’s hobbies.
He found that the food he cooked not only became more and more delicious, but also brought him a strong sense of satisfaction.
After a while, two exquisite dishes, one meat and one vegetable, were ready, served with a bowl of white rice.
"I'm a bit lazy today, so let's keep it simple!"
Jingtian comforted himself after picking up the bowl of rice.
If these words were heard by the survivors outside, they would probably curse him to death.
Nowadays, how many people can eat fresh rice outside? Fresh vegetables and meat are even more impossible.
The sky had completely darkened, and Jingtian was enjoying his little life leisurely.
Just when Jingtian had eaten half of his meal, his expression suddenly changed.
He felt someone touch the door of the villa.
It definitely wasn’t a zombie, because zombies would never approach a safe house.
"Could it be that the Wang brothers and sisters are back?"
Jingtian's expression showed a slight joy, and he quickly threw down his bowl and chopsticks and ran quickly to the villa yard.
