Anime Crossover: Post-Apocalyptic Survival, My Stand is the World

Kobayashi nodded. Now that things had come to this, there was no point in hiding anything.

The other party can see through the truth at a glance, so there's no point in pretending to be stupid.

“Secondly,” Su Chen pointed to the servers he had just cleaned up, “you need an absolutely safe place to hide from the monsters outside, and…”

His gaze swept over Thor's iconic dragon horns and tail almost imperceptibly.

"Other troubles."

"Yes."

Kobayashi nodded again, a chill running through him.

This man is not only powerful, but also intelligent.

"very good."

Su Chen snapped his fingers.

"Now that we have reached a consensus, my purpose is quite simple."

"I, Su Chen, representing the 'Survivor Outpost,' formally invite the two of you to join our team."

"Of course, I won't join for nothing."

His fingers tapped lightly on the table, making two clear "tap, tap" sounds that drew the full attention of both of them.

“Ms. Kobayashi.” He looked at Kobayashi first, “You will lead the technical department as our team’s chief technical advisor, responsible for all network security maintenance and future intelligence analysis work at the base.”

Then he turned to look at Thor.

“Miss Thor, you will be a powerful asset to our team and will protect the base.”

"In return,"

He offered a condition that neither of them could refuse.

"First, I will take care of all of Kanna-chan's supplies and Tohru-san's supplies from now on. The energy in my body should be beneficial to both of you."

As he spoke, he slowly channeled a wisp of pure primordial energy into Kanna's body in his arms.

The silver-haired girl's small body visibly turned rosy, and she even let out a sound of extreme satisfaction.

"!"

Thor's eyes widened instantly.

That pure and boundless life energy was far superior to any magic crystal she had ever seen in the Dragon Realm. It was practically a legendary elixir!

"Secondly," Su Chen continued, his voice calm yet carrying an undeniable authority, "I will guarantee the absolute safety of the three of you in this apocalyptic world."

"No monster can stand against me. How about it, consider it!"

The terms have been set.

The sum was so generous that even Xiaolin felt it was somewhat unreal.

Safety, shelter, food, and the energy source that Conna and Thor need most.

She looked at the confident and powerful man in front of her and remained silent for a long time.

'There's no such thing as a free lunch... This principle applies before the apocalypse, and it applies even more so afterward.'

What's in it for?

'Trying to take my skills? They might be somewhat useful, but for a powerhouse of his level, they're probably not essential...'

'No, the most likely explanation is... he's after Thor and Kanna's 'dragon' status and potential fighting power.'

Having figured this out, Kobayashi calmed down.

This is a deal.

A deal that traded their abilities and loyalty for shelter and resources for survival.

fair enough.

Ultimately, she felt as if she were back in the midst of a job interview, and she posed a crucial question to the HR representative:

"that…"

Does it include the five social insurances and one housing fund?

"Is there triple pay for overtime?"

"what?"

Even Su Chen was taken aback by her peculiar thought process.

In a world on the verge of collapse, where every day is uncertain, you're talking to me about social insurance and housing fund?

Is your corporate slave DNA etched into your bones?

He couldn't help but burst out laughing.

This woman is interesting.

"Five social insurances and one housing fund? That's definitely not included," Su Chen shrugged. "After all, where am I supposed to pay your social insurance?"

“But,” he said seriously, counting on his fingers, “I can still guarantee ‘food, lodging, and safety.’ And it will be the highest standard.”

"As for overtime."

A wicked smile spread across his face, much like that of a cunning boss who always announces a meeting five minutes before the end of the workday.

"decide as things go."

"After all, our 'enemy' doesn't understand anything about the Labor Law."

"..."

Xiaolin looked at him, her dead fish eyes meeting those playful black eyes.

3.2 After a long while, as if resigned to his fate, he let out a long sigh and reached out his hand to Su Chen.

"Ok."

“On behalf of Thor and Conna, I accept this employment.”

"However, I have a small request."

"Oh?" Su Chen raised an eyebrow, looking at her with interest.

"Salary is optional. Social insurance and housing fund are also optional."

"but…"

Xiaolin's gaze fell on Kanna, who was sleeping soundly in Su Chen's arms.

"I require that there be at least two hours of 'dragon-absorbing' time after get off work every day."

"..."

This time, it was Su Chen's turn to be stunned again.

A...dragon sucker?

What kind of tiger-wolf talk is this?

He looked at Kobayashi's incredibly serious eyes, then at the unsuspecting silver-haired little girl in his arms.

He reached out and took Kobayashi's hand.

"You can do whatever you want after your shift ends, and there's a high probability you'll be unemployed for a long time anyway, but you're welcome to join us."

Chapter 72 Thor's Tail Meat Dish

The team has grown again.

In one go, I gained a top-notch tech guy, a legendary dragon maid, and a power bank (Kanna-chan) that can be called the team's ultimate weapon.

Congratulations, congratulations.

To celebrate the official addition of the new member.

This was also to express my sincerity as a new employee.

After Thor regained some of his magic, he volunteered to prepare an extremely lavish welcome feast for everyone.

……

Half an hour later.

In a relatively intact staff canteen in the UDX building.

The kitchen here is surprisingly well-equipped, even featuring commercial-grade ovens and cold storage.

Thor was clearly very pleased with the place; her enormous green dragon tail swayed excitedly behind her, creating a small whirlwind with each sweep across the ground.

A long table was laden with all sorts of delicious dishes that looked incredibly appetizing.

Golden and crispy tempura, steaming hot sukiyaki.

Although they are all frozen ingredients, they are considered top-tier delicacies in this post-apocalyptic world.

There was also a plate of mysterious roasted meat, golden brown and glistening with oil, sizzling and emitting a strange aroma that seemed to belong to another dimension.

Yes, mysterious.

Because none of the humans present, including the well-informed Su Chen, could find any meat in their own taste memory bank that could match it.

The aroma was so overpowering, so pure, it seemed to act directly on the depths of the soul, arousing humanity's most primal craving for protein and fat.

These ingredients were all conjured by Thor using her almost bug-like spatial magic from the warehouses inside the building that were completely locked with electronic locks.

In her words, it was "just opening a tiny crack in the space and taking out what was needed."

NB!

Magic really is omnipotent.

"Wow!"

As Yui Yuigahama gazed at the scene before her, a sight that seemed like a miracle of the apocalypse, countless little stars instantly appeared in her beautiful eyes!

She couldn't remember the last time she had seen such a sumptuous meal.

Since the apocalypse, compressed biscuits and canned food have been their only options, and their sense of taste has almost deteriorated.

"Wow...it's amazing, it's just like the Last Supper."

Even Yukino Yukinoshita and Utaha Kasumigaoka couldn't help but secretly swallow when they smelled that strange meaty aroma that could arouse people's most primal appetite.

The body's instinctive reactions do not lie.

"Alright, alright, stop staring!"

Thor was wearing an adorable pink ruffled apron that she had "borrowed" from a clothing store. This outfit, combined with her voluptuous figure and the dragon horns on her head, created a wonderfully cute contrast.

She stood with her hands on her hips, like a chef who had just seen a customer's satisfied expression, her face beaming with a proud smile of accomplishment.

"Eat up, everyone! It won't taste good when it gets cold!"

"I'm gonna start now!"

Yui was the first to cheer, completely abandoning any ladylike image. She picked up a piece of the most charred and fragrant grilled meat with her chopsticks and couldn't wait to stuff it into her mouth.

The moment of entering the entrance.

An indescribable burst of savory meat juice exploded in her mouth in an instant!

The texture is bouncy, chewy, and rich but not greasy! It has a wonderful, slightly cartilage-like chewiness.

The flavor is even more dominant.

It was as if countless "essences of life" had condensed into a warm current, flowing down her throat and into her limbs and bones.

It instantly filled her body, which had been somewhat tired and malnourished due to the apocalypse, with unprecedented vitality.

She even felt that the dark circles under her eyes caused by staying up late for a long time had faded a little.

"good to eat!"

On Yui's head, a small golden flower, representing "happiness" and "deliciousness," seemed to bloom.

This is a typical exaggerated reaction from the protagonist of a gourmet anime when they eat top-notch cuisine.
