Lin Lang lay on his back in the study chair.
He pulled out his phone.
Opened the short video appâ
Last time when he accompanied Xu Xingyao for a seafood feast, he casually took a photo and posted an advertisement for "free meals and accommodation" online.
He didnât bother with it after posting.
Only now did he realize.
His account had received quite a few private messages:
[This photo is so fake! Seafood feast?! Who would believe you?]
[Just a low-quality male animal fantasizing before starvation!]
[How can you eat so well?! Donât you know how many people outside are close to starving?! Arenât you ashamed?!]
...
Sarcastic, pointless doubts and moral blackmail in private messages like these.
Lin Lang ignored them all.
Talking more with them would just be a waste of his time!
Besides that.
There were also quite a few messages from women who wanted to enroll:
[Hey, is the free meal and accommodation real? Iâm interested!]
[Attached: pictures; pictures; pictures...]
Lin Lang opened the imagesâ
Hmm!
Turns out sheâs a pretty girl!
Very clean and lively!
Judging by Lin Langâs vast experience with women, her appearance was at least an eight or nine out of ten!
But when he pulled up the information of this girl:
[Wen Juxiang]
[Appearance: 5 points]
[Recharge: 9 times]
[Loyalty: 5%]
[Return Multiplier: 100]
"What? Only 5 points?"
Lin Lang was slightly surprised!
It was so different from his judgment?
This just showsâ
The current makeup techniques, or rather the beauty filters, are just too powerful!
Normal people canât tell at all!
Also.
This woman has been recharged before.
So definitely not suitable.
...
Lin Lang ignored her too and continued to check other private messages:
[I am 170 tall with 110 legs, bringing various stockings! Seeking shelter!]
[Pictures; pictures; pictures...]
Opened the images.
Lin Langâs eyes brightenedâ
Wow!
Itâs a "long leg feast" indeed!
Black stockings!
White stockings!
Fishnets!
...
Simply dazzling, hard to resist!
But.
Lin Lang just suffered a setback!
So, before the system gives a "Goddess Certification."
He wouldnât get his hopes up too high.
Besides:
"The legs are indeed nice... but only showing the legs, does it mean the face isnât good?"
Scrolled further down.
Found a photo that vaguely showed half a face:
[Fang Ting]
[Appearance: 7 points]
[Recharge: 99 times]
[Loyalty: 10%]
[Return Multiplier: 100]
"Uh..."
Her looks barely passed.
But sheâs been recharged 99 times...
Lin Lang was unwilling to help her achieve perfection... so he had to give up.
Keep looking!
Clicked through one private message after another.
Admired picture after picture!
Lin Lang was nearing aesthetic fatigue!
Most womenâs appearances didnât meet the standard!
And the few whose appearances did were already recharged!
After searching for so long!
There was only one with an appearance of 8 points and 0 charges!
Just as Lin Lang wanted to further communicate.
He found out!
This girl had already starved to death...
Starved people, though able to display detailed information during their life, had their names grayed out.
"What a pity."
Lin Lang sighed.
Indeed a pity.
But thatâs all.
After all, in an apocalypse, people are dying constantly!
No matter how outstanding one was before the apocalypse!
If theyâre meant to die, they die!
Even if itâs a goddess, thereâs no exception!
...
Lin Lang finished dealing with the private messages.
After browsing videos for quite some time, he still couldnât find a suitable one!
Indeed!
There are plenty of goddesses online!
But for those with appearances above 9 points and havenât been recharged, there arenât many!
After all!
The appearance ratings displayed for Lin Lang remove makeup and beauty filter, leaving only the bare appearance!
And the rating dimension also includes physique!
Under such harsh conditions!
Even celebrities in the entertainment industry might not survive!
Let alone these internet personalities?
But!
Speaking of celebrities!
Lin Lang suddenly had a bold idea:
"Although the quality of celebrities isnât necessarily high! But overall, they should be better than ordinary people!"
Maybe I should look in the circle of female celebrities?
Although he normally doesnât follow celebrities.
But while surfing the internet, he has seen a few rising starsâ
Actresses, singers, hosts, etc.!
Their delicate looks are quite charming!
So he searched for their accounts in the appâ
Fortunately!
They were all still alive!
And their appearance ratings were mostly above 8 points!
Some even reached 9 points!
But, unfortunately!
They had all already recharged!
"People think their image is pure and flawless, but they recharge three times a day..."
Lin Lang felt slightly disappointed.
But honestly, it wasnât surprising either...
The entertainment circle, after all!
If you know, you know!
Just as he was feeling disheartened and decided to take a break...
The short video app, based on his recent search habits, labeled him as a pervert!
Then, it automatically recommended a high-appearance female singerâ
[Yu Anni]
[Appearance: 9.5 points]
[Recharge: 0 times]
[Loyalty: 10%]
[Return Multiplier: 200]
Lin Langâs eyes suddenly lit up:
"A female singer?"
"I can tell if sheâs good at singing just by looking!"
"9.5 points for appearance!"
"That must be heavenly music!"
In the video!
A girl without makeup, looking slightly haggard but still captivating!
Holding a guitar in her arms.
Tears in her eyes, she spoke firmly:
"This disaster has left countless people in despair!"
"But Annie still wants to tell everyone, never give up, keep going, miracles will happen!"
"This song is for everyone, letâs cheer up together!"
Then.
She strummed the guitar strings, gently singingâ
The voice was gentle and pure!
Yet filled with resilient strength!
Giving people great encouragement!
...
But Lin Lang wasnât in the mood to appreciate the music at this moment.
He only wanted to recharge with this woman.
So he left a comment:
[Offering shelter for a girl, with meals and lodging! (PS: Preference for those who can sing)]
The comment section had been filled with [Cheer up!] messages.
Now a disruptive message appeared, very noticeable!
Soon!
Someone commented below:
[Meals and lodging? Youâre really boastful!]
[Arenât you just desperate for women, buddy?]
[How dare you target Annie? Sheâs beyond your reach!]
[Get lost!]
...
"Well! Everything else can be left to time."
Lin Lang wasnât planning to argue with them.
He believedâ
Unless this "Yu Anni" has endless resources.
Otherwise.
Sheâd eventually consider his "meals and lodging" invitation!
But!
If she insists on standing firm...
Lin Lang wouldnât force her either.
He simply exited the video app.
Then.
Put down his phone, closed his eyes.
Preparing to take a rest.
Because he hadnât slept at all last night.
...
At this moment.
Outside Xingfu District.
A large crowd.
Was heading towards the district.
In the crowd, someone shouted:
"Come on, everyone! Xingfu District is just ahead!"
"Once weâre in Xingfu District, we can survive!"
...
But among them, a girl only seven or eight years old looked worried:
"Brother, do you think people in Xingfu District will take us in?"
Beside her, a boy about fourteen or fifteen answered confidently:
"Donât worry! I canât guarantee others!"
"But your brother is a Superpower User!"
"Superpower Users are incredibly scarce resources wherever they go!"
"So theyâll definitely take me in!"
"And Iâll definitely take you with me!"
