Chapter 92: Crossing into the End Times

After eating at home, Yun Xuan went straight to Stone Village to find Yuan Peng.

“Uncle Yuan, this is the design drawing. What do you think?” Yun Xuan asked, holding out the plans he had drawn himself.

“This... the basement seems a little too large, doesn’t it?” Yuan Peng said in confusion.

“I’m planning to build an underground garage. It’ll be convenient when friends come over later. The layout of the rooms on the first floor is for entertaining guests, and the swimming pool on the second floor is a must for summer. Other than that, there’s nothing much,” Yun Xuan explained. In truth, the underground level was meant to be a laboratory.

“An underground garage? That could work. I’ll contact a technician then. That’ll make things easier,” Yuan Peng said, suddenly understanding.

“Sorry to trouble you, Uncle Yuan. Oh, right—recently it’s been very hot, so every day give each person three bottles of chilled drinks and a box of cigarettes. Put all of that on the materials account,” Yun Xuan said, glancing up at the sun-bleached sky.

“Yun Xuan, thank you,” Yuan Peng said, momentarily stunned. He had never met a boss like Yun Xuan before—one who cared nothing for gain or loss and treated others so generously.

“Money like this doesn’t mean much to me. I’ll probably be living here in Stone Village often in the future. As long as everyone works hard, when the project is finished I’ll treat you all to a good meal at Autumn Melody Tower,” Yun Xuan said with a wave of his hand.

“Mm, I’ll tell the others. If you’re busy, you should go ahead—this place is too hot,” Yuan Peng said, wiping the sweat from his brow.

“Mm.” Yun Xuan nodded. Even as a martial artist, he still found the heat oppressive.

Yun Xuan rode off on his motorcycle. It was a pity he didn’t have time to get a driver’s license.

“Maybe I should just have Aoxue get one for me. After all, she’s from the Dongfang family; she should have connections in Fangyu City,” Yun Xuan thought with a bitter smile. Worth hundreds of millions, yet still riding a motorcycle—probably only he would do such a thing.

Yun Xuan returned to the Xuanxue Restaurant and told Dongfang Aoxue about the license. Dongfang Aoxue said it was fine. Using the Dongfang family’s local connections, she took Yun Xuan directly through the exam, and the license was soon in hand.

Even with connections, in this world it was impossible to obtain a license without going through the necessary procedures.

Once he had his license, Yun Xuan immediately bought a decent car for five hundred thousand.

When he drove it back to Xuanxue Restaurant, he naturally got an earful from Yun Xuner. He already had Yun Xuner’s car, and yet he went and bought another one—it was obviously a waste... Those were Yun Xuner’s words.

After Yun Xuner finished scolding him, Yun Xuan offered her a cold drink to calm her down. Yun Xuner shot him a glare.

Ring ring ring.

Yun Xuan’s phone started ringing.

“Sister Xuner, I won’t be coming back tonight. I still have something to do,” Yun Xuan said with a smile after glancing at the screen.

“Don’t tell me another girl has asked you out,” Yun Xuner said, a little displeased.

“It’s only helping someone out. I definitely won’t be spending the night with anyone. I’m a proper man,” Yun Xuan said, waving it off as he left.

...

Half an hour later.

In a warehouse on the outskirts of Fangyu City.

“Brother Jiang, thank you for coming,” Yun Xuan said with a smile.

“When I got your call, I was pretty surprised. I never expected you to hire me to protect your sister,” Jiang Yue said with a wry smile.

“Xue’er’s situation is a little special. I don’t trust anyone else. Brother Jiang, you’re an upright man. I trust you,” Yun Xuan said with a smile.

“That’s enough. As long as I’m alive, I’ll protect her properly,” Jiang Yue said solemnly.

“Mm. I’ve already rented a house. The protection period is only this one month. Once school starts, it won’t be a problem anymore. Brother Jiang, sorry to trouble you.” Yun Xuan took out a stack of money and handed it to Jiang Yue.

“Yun Xuan, if you’ve forgiven me for what happened last time, then don’t give me money. That would only make me feel worse,” Jiang Yue said, not taking it. Instead, he lowered his head.

“All right, but food and lodging still cost money. Don’t refuse it,” Yun Xuan said, taking out ten thousand.

“Mm.” This time Jiang Yue did not refuse again.

As a member of the Snow Wolf Squadron, the annual salary for protecting a client was close to eight hundred thousand, yet he had chosen the Dongfang family without hesitation because he was a brother to Dongfang Qinglu.

Loyal in both feeling and duty, Jiang Yue’s only weakness was his family.

Now that his family had been settled with the Dongfang family, there was naturally nothing to worry about. Yesterday Yun Xuan had called to place an order for a batch of canned food, and then called the Dongfang family to borrow Jiang Yue to protect his sister.

Dongfang Wu agreed without a second word, and Jiang Yue arrived in Fangyu City almost at the same time as the canned goods.

The canned food had been ordered from the Qin family. At internal pricing, one can cost about three yuan, and Yun Xuan directly placed an order worth nine million—about three hundred thousand cans.

...

The cans were stored in the warehouse. Yun Xuan locked the door, then drove Jiang Yue to the house across from his own.

The moment Jiang Yue stepped inside, Yun Xuan drove back to the warehouse.

Three hundred thousand cans were loaded into the space backpack, taking up only one slot, shown as canned food x300000.

“If I’d known, I would’ve borrowed a warehouse full of canned food from the world of Food Wars,” Yun Xuan muttered before locking the door and leaving.

The warehouse in this world was extremely sturdy, and there weren’t many people in this suburb. The three hundred thousand cans vanished from the warehouse without a trace, and no one knew a thing.

Yun Xuan drove to a hotel and rented a room for two days, then withdrew the initial earnings from the meme project—fully seventy-five million.

“Fifteen thousand exchange points is enough to travel,” Yun Xuan said as he instantly exchanged the seventy-five million. Adding the remaining seventy-five hundred exchange points he already had, he could only travel to one world.

“To earn a large amount of exchange points, this is the only way. I need at least one hundred thousand exchange points—that’s enough for five round trips,” Yun Xuan said, looking at the apocalyptic-world travel option on the virtual screen.

He pressed lightly, and Yun Xuan vanished.

...

With a soft thud, Yun Xuan landed in a room.

He opened his eyes and looked around, then checked the doorway. Seeing that it was completely sealed, he finally let out a breath of relief.

“Congratulations, Host, you have obtained a beginner supply pack!”

“Beginner supply pack: virus isolation body, charged sniper rifle, strength specialty.”

“Main quest one: kill one hundred zombies. Reward: one hundred exchange points. Completing it will trigger the follow-up quest.”

“Virus isolation body: even if you are injured, you cannot be infected by the virus.”

“Charged sniper rifle: used in the same way as the freezing gun.”

“Strength specialty: first-tier strength, increases strength by one hundred jin.”

After six notification sounds, Yun Xuan saw the virus isolation body and finally let the heavy stone in his heart fall away.

Looking around the room, he realized it was not an ordinary room at all—it seemed to be a laboratory.

“Dear Master, welcome back.” A voice echoed through the entire laboratory, and a girl appeared before Yun Xuan.

“An intelligent lifeform?” Yun Xuan looked at the person in front of him in surprise. Compared with a basic artificial intelligence, she was much more human-like.

“Respected new Master, you have inherited the legacy of the previous Master. The basic intelligent phone is my subprogram. I am the intermediate intelligence Violet. I am very happy to serve the Master,” the girl said.

“Explain the current situation, where this is, and the forces that still exist in this world,” Yun Xuan asked three questions in succession.

No matter what this intelligent lifeform was, he still remained wary.

The second volume is about to begin. The final chapter of the first volume can also be seen as the prologue that runs through the entire book.
