Chapter 12: A Child Tears Apart Zombies in the Apocalypse (12)

"One to nine, you get nine, I get one!"

Bai Mi stared longingly at Feng Yuan, the tiger's tail behind her swaying back and forth.

"You mentioned you have some kind of points shop, right? Do I need to complete some extra tasks to earn those points?"

Feng Yuan simply sat down cross-legged on the spot. Since he was already quite dirty from tearing apart the insectoids with his bare hands, he didn't care if his pants got even dirtier.

"No, no, you don't have to do it if you don't want to."

Bai Mi waved her hands repeatedly, and casually brought up her shop panel. It had a truly comprehensive selection, from items from the cultivation world to items from interstellar space; if you could imagine it, it had it.

Then I checked my points balance: zero. Great, they were completely useless.

Feng Yuan maintained her aloof and expressionless demeanor, remaining completely unmoved. She could choose not to do the quest, but without doing it, she wouldn't earn points, rendering the shop useless.

Instead of looking at the items that most people would be particularly interested in, she glanced at the children's section, feeling that Ningbao would like many of the toys.

So she still has to do extra tasks.

Although he inwardly complained, Feng Yuan didn't actually see anything wrong with it. It's about working for pay; you can't expect people to give it to you for free.

She was already planning to agree.

However, seeing that Feng Yuan remained silent for a long time, Bai Mi assumed she was dissatisfied and directly pulled out her own private stash of money:

"If you want to buy something, you can use my points. You see, you don't really need my help with quests in the small world. I'll do some extra quests, and then you'll have points to use without having to do any extra quests."

Looking at Bai Mi's tens of thousands of points in savings, Feng Yuan's desire to agree vanished instantly, and alarm bells rang in his mind.

There's no such thing as a free lunch; free things are often the most expensive.

"If I were to form a contract with you, would there be any other conditions?"

"That's all, that's all. You just need to do the tasks."

How could Feng Yuan possibly believe Bai Mi's nonsense? The terms were indeed unbelievably favorable to her. But conversely, what benefit did this bring Bai Mi? Why would Bai Mi relentlessly pester her to form a contract?

She couldn't believe that any creature in the world would be foolish enough to rush into a losing business.

"Since you're unwilling to tell the truth, what's the point of talking?"

Feng Yuan stood up, patted her pants, and realized she had a lot of things to do and didn't have time to waste with this guy.

"The girl behind you looks like she has an incomplete soul. If a person's soul is constantly divided into two parts, it could cause irreparable damage. She probably won't live to see you learn the laws of space, will she?"

Seeing that Feng Yuan was about to leave again, Bai Mi became anxious. He had his reasons for having to form a contract with Feng Yuan, and he thought that the treatment he was giving was already very generous. He was almost selling himself, so why did she still not agree?

Xiao Hei still stood there quietly. Although it had the same face as Mu Mu, its eyes were dull and lifeless, like a puppet.

"You are threatening me."

Feng Yuan had already clenched her fists, ready to stage a scene of a phoenix fighting a tiger. Her two cubs were her Achilles' heel, and no one could touch them.

No, no.

Bai Mi was so frightened that he took two steps back. At only 1.7 meters tall, he looked weak and pitiful in front of Feng Yuan, who was 1.87 meters tall.

"I'm telling the truth. By the time you fully comprehend the laws of space, it will be too late."

"I've beaten you into submission, so I can get you to work for me without a contract, right?"

Feng Yuan had already grabbed Bai Mi by the collar, looking exactly like a gang leader bullying an innocent student.

But if you look closely, you'll find that she didn't use any force at all; her collar wasn't even tightened. Let alone Bai Mi, even an ordinary person probably wouldn't feel uncomfortable.

Sigh, she used to be such a believer in the survival of the fittest. Ever since she raised her cub, she's started to cultivate her character and even her moral standards have improved considerably.

It's mainly about putting yourself in others' shoes. Whether you do something to someone else or someone does it to you, Feng Yuan doesn't really care. But the thought of his own son possibly being bullied like that is completely unacceptable to him!

"No way! Spatial teleportation can only be done using the Heavenly Dao power shared with a contracted partner. Otherwise, why would I be bothering you like this? I would have gone home long ago!"

Bai Mi was also aggrieved; her two heterochromatic eyes, one blue and one purple, were already brimming with tears, as if she was about to cry at any moment. Their contract partners had extremely strict standards, and they had finally stumbled upon one in this world by sheer luck, only to find it was so fierce.

Feng Yuan: ...

Oh dear, the child bullied her until she cried.

"You were the one who didn't tell the truth first."

A flawless version after careful inspection!

Feng Yuan let go of Bai Mi's hand and subconsciously touched his pocket, where he found a large pile of lollipops that he had hoarded. He casually tore one open and stuffed it into Bai Mi's mouth.

Bai Mi's eyes were still watery when she was suddenly given a lollipop. She looked at Feng Yuan with a completely bewildered expression.

"Alright, alright, I'll make a pact with you. Stop crying."

Sigh, although Bai Mi is definitely hiding something from her, one thing is true: relying on herself to cultivate the laws of space might not be enough time. If this really causes Qingqing some indelible harm, she'll have nowhere to turn for help.

Even if there are problems, she'll accept them; her son is still the most important.

"Oh, okay, okay."

Bai Mi was stunned for a long time before she could react to this huge surprise.

Feng Yuan looked at Bai Mi, whose tail was wagging wildly, and felt that this guy wasn't particularly smart, just like her Ning Bao. Hmm, Qing Qing is definitely the most reliable.

As Feng Yuan walked back carrying the rice she had just contracted, she popped a piece of mango milk cake into her mouth. She had just exchanged it for points from the rice in the shop. Since she had already stepped into that trap, which she didn't even know what kind of pit it was, why not make the most of these points?

Sigh, I need to finish this world's mission quickly so I can meet up with her two kids. The mango milk cake in this shop isn't as good as the one her Qingqing makes.

In the post-apocalyptic world, Qingqing, the beloved child of Feng Yuan, or rather, Mumu, finally happily reached an agreement with Li Qinglan on the conditions she desired.

Li Qinglan was almost numb from talking so much. How could this girl be so eloquent? And from beginning to end, she spoke with perfect logic, especially adept at leading others astray! By the time she realized something was wrong, she had already agreed to two unequal treaties.

"Alright, Ningbao, I'm done talking. Let's go to her base with her."

Compared to the depressed Li Qinglan, Mu Mu was naturally happy to go back to find Ning Bao.

Did this chapter reveal too much of the main plot? Is this amount of information acceptable? Maybe I should reveal less of the main plot in the later smaller worlds?
