Survival in the apocalypse, teammate Xia Shiyu at the start

Saeko Busujima got out of bed, dressed herself, and bowed to him as she stood by the bed, saying, "Mr. Shen, Saeko will be leaving now."

Shen Zhao stood up and hugged her: "Go ahead, I'll wait for you to come back here."

Saeko smiled: "I won't keep Mr. Shen waiting too long."

The figure then quickly became transparent and finally disappeared.

When Kasumigaoka Utaha woke up, she immediately found that only she and Shen Zhao were left in the room.

The girl looked at him with a puzzled expression: "Where's Busujima?"

“She went back.” Shen Zhao briefly explained the return to reality, then asked, “Do you want to go back and see your family? I’ll pay for it with the points.”

Shi Yu was silent for a moment, then bit her lip and said, "Never mind, I won't go back."

She didn't know how to explain to her parents that she would disappear for a while every now and then.

The girl quickly calmed her complicated emotions and said with a coquettish smile, "Besides, if I leave too, wouldn't there be no one to satisfy Mr. Pervert's perverted desires?"

Shen Zhao looked at her amusedly: "You talk as if you can do it all by yourself."

Chapter 48 Unable to Sign In, Training and Preparation!

After Saeko Busujima returned to reality, Shen Zhao didn't just focus on playing with Utaha Kasumigaoka, who remained in the game space.

Instead, they began to provide Shiyu with basic combat skills training.

The training focused on mastering how to use the enhanced suit.

This enhanced suit, with technology far exceeding that of reality, is more than just a bulletproof vest.

Its core function is to enhance the wearer's strength.

If used properly, it can turn you into a little superhero.

One punch shatters a concrete wall, one leap is two or three stories high.

The mission exemption card can only save your life once. To survive and complete each game, you still need to rely on these basic equipment and your own abilities.

It's not required that Shiwa be able to dominate like Saeko, but she should at least have a certain ability to protect herself.

Shiyu was well aware that this was for her own good, and she persevered through the arduous training.

He didn't even stop exercising at night, striking various alluring poses to deliberately provoke and challenge Shen Zhao.

Shen Zhao could tell that Shi Yu was using this method to distract herself and prevent herself from thinking about her family.

So he stopped showing her any mercy and used all his strength to make her fall into a deep sleep, feeling like her body was about to fall apart.

Wake up the next morning.

Shen Zhao habitually opened the system to sign in.

However, the system interface displayed "You have checked in today and received the reward [Skill Book - Gunfighting]".

He couldn't help but frown.

The "Skill Book - Gunfighting" is a sign-in reward on the last day of the survival game.

The sign-in opportunity didn't refresh today!

"Does that mean I can only sign in during survival games, and I can't sign in anymore once I leave the game environment?"

This is the only possible explanation for the current situation.

Shen Zhao felt deeply regretful.

This system is still not powerful enough!

He didn't complain.

One should not be ungrateful; the system has already given him many benefits.

He felt nothing but boundless gratitude towards the system!

I practiced Shiyu's movements all day long.

On the morning of the third day after returning to the game space, Saeko Busujima returned from her visit to her family.

Looking at the two people on the bed, she smiled and said, "Mr. Shen, Mrs. Sawamura contacted me before. I'll go see what it is about."

Shen Zhao, who was engrossed in his work, casually said, "Go ahead, and come back soon."

Not long after he opened the back door for Kasumigaoka Utaha, Busujima Saeko returned.

Shen Zhao released Shi Yu's slender waist, got up and sat on the edge of the bed, beckoning the aloof and elegant woman to come and massage his legs.

When Saeko knelt down in front of him and gently massaged his thighs with her delicate hands, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Stroking the girl's purple hair, he asked, "What does Mrs. Sawamura want with you?"

Saeko Busujima said, her head bobbing, "She said... she used the points she earned from the mission to go back... and wanted to return them later... the points I lent her to exchange for the enhancement suit..."

Shen Zhao said "oh" and thought to himself that Mrs. Sawamura could have come to him to borrow points to go home.

Given his past record, the beautiful married woman had a good credit history with him, and he was happy to lend her the money.

However, since the other party didn't come looking for him, he wouldn't force himself on them.

He quickly put the matter out of his mind and focused on enjoying Saeko's service.

Over the next few days, Shen Zhao and his two companions focused on preparing for the next survival game.

Players have ten days to rest after each game ends.

After that, you will be forced into a new game scene.

Kasumigaoka Utaha diligently practices using the Enhancement Suit.

Saeko Busujima focuses on practicing kendo.

Shen Zhao, on the other hand, was digesting the knowledge of the Force inheritance in his mind to improve his Force cultivation.

He started trying to make his own lightsaber.

His Force proficiency has reached the level of a full-fledged Jedi Knight, so crafting a lightsaber would not be difficult for him.

After several failed attempts due to unfamiliarity with the craft, Shen Zhao successfully completed the first lightsaber he had ever made.

Watching the blood-red beam of light shoot out from the hilt of the sword, he felt extremely pleased, and even felt that his understanding of the Force had deepened further.

This is not an illusion.

For Force practitioners, crafting their own lightsaber is a ritual to comprehend the Force.

Ten days of rest and recuperation passed in the blink of an eye.

It is a private space decorated like a traditional Chinese courtyard.

Shen Zhao, Saeko Busujima, and Utaha Kasumigaoka donned their enhanced suits and waited for the game to begin.

"Once we enter the game, if we're not together, remember to turn on location services immediately. I'll try my best to get there and meet up with you."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yu subconsciously touched the black collar around her neck.

This is an item sold in the intermediate-level shop, specifically designed for players who team up like this.

Its function is to send its own coordinates to a pre-defined object.

As long as you are in the same game scene, you can receive a signal no matter how far apart you are.

The black collar was the design that Shen Zhao specifically requested when he redeemed it.

Utaha and Saeko each wore one, which adorned the girl's snow-white, slender neck, exuding a unique allure.

There were also two chains that Shen Zhao would take out and attach to the collar when he was in the mood.

It was even more effective at adding to the festive atmosphere than Mrs. Sawamura's twin tails!

Chapter 49 Misty Town, The Sleeping Silver-Haired Beauty!

After the initial disorientation of being teleported, the scene before me became clear.

Shen Zhao looked around and found himself in an attic.

It's the attic of a two-story rural house, the kind often seen in American movies.

Saeko Busujima and Utaha Kasumigaoka were not by her side.

Take 2B out of the system space, and the next moment the game notification sounded in your ear.

"Transmission complete!"

"The current game scene is [Misty Town]."

"Issue the task now."

Main Quest: Survival.

"Mission requirement: Survive for ten days."

"Mission Reward: 1000 Survival Points"

Side Quest: Exploration.

"Mission Requirements: Explore the fog-shrouded area to find clues about the disaster."

"Mission rewards: Depend on the area explored and the discoveries made."

"This game is a kill mode. Killing other players will allow you to obtain some items from their inventory."

"No survival mall trading terminal is set up in the scene."

The last two hints startled Shen Zhao.

This is practically encouraging players to kill each other and plunder each other's equipment and supplies!

Of course, he wasn't afraid.

He opened his personal panel.

Saeko and Utaha have already started coordinate positioning.

The three people are roughly in an equilateral triangle shape on the map, and are several hundred kilometers apart.

Without transportation, meeting up is not an easy task.

Shen Zhao did not rush to take action.

Let's do something even more important first—sign in!

After opening the system and entering the game scene, new sign-in opportunities had indeed been refreshed.

He eagerly muttered to himself, 'System, sign in!'

"Ding! Daily check-in successful, reward received: [Ebony Ivory]. Please claim your reward."

Ebony and Ivory: Firearms that can fire an unlimited number of physical bullets, or be infused with magic to fire magical bullets.

The iconic dual pistols from Devil May Cry, made of ebony and white ivory!

Shen Zhao received his reward, and two pistols, which had been holstered, appeared in his hands.

The gun body is black and gold on one side and silver and white on the other, and its overall design is similar to the real-life M1911.

It appears to be made of ebony and ivory from the main series, rather than the Desert Eagle-shaped dual pistols from the rebooted DmC: Devil May Cry.

"Is this the weapon that comes with the gunfighting skill reward from the last sign-in event?"

Shen Zhao looked at the two exquisitely crafted pistols in his hands, feeling a little regretful.

He is currently focusing on the Force and doesn't want to divert his energy to practicing gunfighting.

After all, gunfighting is not as versatile or has as much potential as the Force.

These two exquisite pistols can only serve as his collectibles and backup weapons for the time being.

With the holster on his body, Shen Zhao walked to the attic window and looked out.

Everything in sight was a vast expanse of white, with thick, almost tangible white fog filling the entire world.

"Misty Town..."

Shen Zhao muttered the name of the game scene.
