The system was set three years in advance, but the universal deities still hadn't arrived.

Chapter 2: Being a little sneaky isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Li Yuqing looked at Zeng Shen, then at the little black cat he was holding in his arms, its big, bright black eyes sparkling, and a surge of affection welled up in her mouth.

"Class monitor, is this your cat? It's so cute!"

“Yes, we just adopted him.” Zeng Shen nodded.

The girl in front of him, wearing a long white dress with the skirt cascading down her waist like a waterfall over her long, fair legs, was Li Yuqing, his classmate from university.

During my university years.

I am the class monitor.

Li Yuqing was the object of many boys' fantasies in the school and was one of the two school beauties who won the title for three consecutive years.

It is said that her family is very wealthy, but she is usually very low-key, hardworking and ambitious. She also subtly revealed her feelings for me during her university years.

Zeng Shen never expected to run into her at the shop next to the park while he was out looking for a job.

And in the future.

She will also become a necromancer deity, and according to the system's description, she seems quite powerful.

"I see."

Li Yuqing nodded and reached out to pet the little black cat.

As a result, the little black cat slipped off Zeng Shen's hand and ran behind Zeng Shen's legs, watching the woman in front of him warily.

"It seems a little shy," Zeng Shen said.

"It seems so," Li Yuqing said somewhat awkwardly, withdrawing her hand and then looking up to ask, "Brother Shen, how's your job search going?"

"Nothing has been decided yet."

"If all else fails, how about we try my self-media company?" A glimmer of hope flashed in Li Yuqing's eyes.

Self-media has become very popular in recent years. Zeng Shen had tried it out in school before, just as a hobby. He collected a lot of materials, learned how to edit some videos and post them online, thus earning a few hundred yuan extra income each month.

Of course, a year later, when the apocalypse arrives, who the hell will still be working?
But what will we eat if we don't work?

"Free?"

Zeng Shen asked.

As long as he has a high degree of job freedom and can cover his monthly expenses in the thousands, he doesn't care what he does.

After all, there will be a catastrophe in a year, so there's no point in having so much money. We can just buy it for free then.

And now, I'm almost out of money.

But I need to pay rent every month and urgently need a stable salary to cover my expenses for the year. My parents are farmers in the countryside and don't have any money to support me for a year.

As for saying that since the apocalypse is coming anyway, you can take out loans from various platforms and take advantage of their offers.

This isn't a novel.

This world has extremely strict loan approval processes. At the very least, you need proof of stable income for six months and tangible collateral.

Of course, even if it were available, Zeng Shen wouldn't want to lend it out.

After all, he was also worried that if the apocalypse didn't come, he would be burdened with millions in debt. Wouldn't that be a huge joke?

“Working in social media is very flexible. You did it in school, class monitor. What I'm currently lacking is someone who can collect, record, or stage videos that I need for editing,” Li Yuqing said with a smile.

"You want me to do what I used to do? Fine, how much are you going to pay me?" Zeng Shen said.

"A guaranteed minimum of 10,000, with commissions calculated separately, how about that?"

"Holy crap, boss, I'll do whatever you tell me to do from now on."

"Ha ha,"

Li Yuqing chuckled softly, her white dress fluttering slightly, appearing as soft as silk in the sunlight, making one want to touch it.

"Alright, I need you. Tomorrow around 1 p.m., go to the 13th floor of the office building opposite the back gate of the pedestrian street, which is the pedestrian street in your residential area. Then go to a room with a small wooden plaque that says 'Friendly Brothers Studio' and find me."

"Yes, Boss."

Zeng Shen placed his hand next to his temple and gave a perfectly executed little salute.

"See you tomorrow, I have to go now."

Li Yuqing smiled broadly, as if she had accomplished something significant, and gracefully turned to leave.

[Congratulations, host! You have outwitted and outmaneuvered the undead deity, successfully driving it away and protecting your people. You have earned 1000 survival points.]

"Forehead"

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Zeng Shen was momentarily stunned.

Fine.

If you think it's okay, then it's fine.

After entering the store and buying several packs of fish sausages, Zeng Shen paid successfully by scanning the code on the self-service machine. He then carried the little black cat back to the stone bench, tore open the sausage plastic bag, squeezed out a small sausage, and placed it on the stone bench.

The little black cat went up and sniffed the sausage, opened its mouth slightly, took a small bite, and then began to take big bites.

"Haha, it seems you really like this kind of fish sausage."

Watching the little black cat eat so adorably, Zeng Shen felt inexplicably happy and laughed out loud. The little black cat seemed to understand Zeng Shen's words, looking up at him and making a "meow" in response. Immediately afterward, a white light flew out from its body again and surged towards Zeng Shen.

"Congratulations, host: Your casual believer is grateful for your support and has become your true believer. You are rewarded with 1000 survival points."

A big question mark appeared on Zeng Shen's forehead?

"You can play it like that?"

After the little black cat finished eating a sausage, Zeng Shen squinted his eyes and said with a mischievous smile, "You have other brothers and sisters, right? Take your master over there."

"aim."

The little black cat meowed as if it understood, then jumped off the stone bench and ran towards the back gate of the park.

Seemingly because it was his follower, Zeng Shen felt that the little black cat could immediately understand his meaning, so he quickly followed.

Behind the park was a rather large abandoned hospital, where many stray cats made their home. Zeng Shen had known this before and thought that it must be the den of these little black cat brothers and sisters.

soon.

A cat runs ahead, and a person walks behind.

Just as Zeng Shen reached the park gate, a hurried voice rang in his mind, and at the same time, a virtual panel that was reddish-purple appeared in front of him, frantically displaying red characters.

[Warning: If you take another step forward, you will be attacked by a ferocious and terrifying Tier 3 Cerberus. With your strength, once attacked by the Tier 3 Cerberus, you and your kin will suffer a devastating blow, with no chance of survival. Please leave this place immediately.]

Upon seeing the system's warning, Zeng Shen's expression turned serious. He half-squatted down and picked up the little black cat that was about to run out of the park's back gate.

A loud "woof!" suddenly rang out towards them.

A Chow Chow puppy, slightly larger than the little black cat, with white fur that was a bit dirty and grayish, who knew whether it had run away or been abandoned, rushed up to them and barked incessantly.

The moment the little white Chow Chow appeared, the system voice in Zeng Shen's mind rang out even more frantically and urgently.

[Warning! Warning! The host has encountered a Tier 3 Cerberus. Please quickly take cover and leave.]

Zeng Shen looked at the small Chow Chow, which was less than half a meter tall, and then looked around to make sure there were no other stray dogs. He was speechless.

This little puppy is actually a ferocious and terrifying level 3 Cerberus?

"Go away, go back to where you came from."

Zeng Shen waved his hand, picked up the frightened little black cat, and walked straight ahead.

Ignored by Zeng Shen, the little Chow Chow lowered its body slightly, as if about to let out a louder roar to assert its ownership of the area.

But the next second.

A fish sausage was thrown at his feet.

The fish sausage emitted a delicious fishy aroma, silencing the hungry little Chow Chow.

It held the sausage in its mouth, and at the same time looked up at Zeng Shen's back with its bright, almond-shaped eyes, as if it wanted to remember this person for a lifetime.

[Congratulations, host! The third-tier Cerberus has developed a liking for you. Crisis resolved. Survival points +100.]

"Wow, you can get 100 survival points this way."

The sudden receipt of 100 survival points jolted Zeng Shen awake. He turned to look at his little Chow Chow, who had finished eating the fish and sausage and was now staring at him with bright, sparkling eyes.

"Hey kid, I'll give you another sausage, and you give me another hundred points."

As Zeng Shen spoke, he had a thought and took out a fish sausage from a compartment in his backpack and threw it over.

"Woof~ woof"

The fish sausage reappeared at its feet, and the little Chow Chow barked happily before eagerly starting to eat.

Soon, the little Chow Chow finished the fish sausage. Then, it looked up again and stared longingly at Zeng Shen, its expression suggesting that it was still not full.

"Why didn't I get a hundred points this time? Is it not enough?"

Zeng Shen frowned in confusion and threw another fish sausage over.

After the Chow Chow finished eating, he continued to throw more food away.
In no time, the entire bag of fish and sausages was gone from the little Chow Chow's stomach.

But I still haven't earned any survival points.

"Damn it, what a loss. I can only get survival points if I win this stupid dog's favor the first time." Zeng Shen concluded angrily, then turned around without hesitation, hugged the little black cat, and walked towards the abandoned hospital.

Simultaneously.

As he walked, he thought to himself, "If I still pay attention to this little Chow Chow, I'm a dog."

Zeng Shen fed the little Chow Chow a meal, and it ate until its belly was full and in a good mood.

But as soon as he looked up and saw Zeng Shen turn and leave, he immediately followed him eagerly.

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained a Tier 3 Cerberus pet mount, Survival Points +1000, True Believer +1, Faith +1.]

Upon hearing the system notification, Zeng Shen paused, looking down at the little Chow Chow that had run up to him, contributed a thousand survival points, and become his true believer.

He suddenly felt that being a little cowardly in life might not be so bad after all.

"The Eye of Peeping".
