Zero Succubus in the Territory: Starting with Apprenticeship to the Yi Xuan Sisters

Zero Succubus Zone: Starting with Becoming an Apprentice of the Yi Xuan Sisters Author: Lu Yan

The end of the world, welcome to New Elidu... Wait, why isn't there a "New" in it? Oh my god! How did we end up in Elidu?!

After traversing the Zero Zone, you'll be bound to a favorability system. You can become stronger by accumulating favorability with beautiful women.

But is it Elido before the fall of the old capital? *I* love* you* (Elido profanity)

Faced with impending disaster, what will he choose?

Yi Jiang: My disciple, come to my room tonight.

Yi Xuan: (Stealing a glance) (Blushing)

Hoshimi Miyabi: Please join me in a training called "Growing Old Together".

Ye Shunguang: It was my senior brother who inspired my life.

Remiel: Thank you... for saving Bailey...

Sarah: Ha... You're even going to save someone like me?

And so, what was originally just a way to make life easier for myself changed.

Strong, but as the number of people she's attached to increases, Yi Xue's (Yi's) life becomes increasingly strange.

Yi Xue (Yi): In the past, I only wanted to live a good life on my own. Now, I want to live happily with everyone!

Chapter 1: The Favorability System - I'm About to Be Picked Up by an Older Sister

Weifeidi-Chenghuiping.

Snowflakes fell like goose feathers, covering the streets and alleys with a thin white blanket. Even on a snowy day, Chenghuiping was still bustling with activity. The streets and alleys were filled with shouts and calls of vendors, and both shops and customers were preparing for a special day.

"Come buy some steamed buns! Steaming hot buns are ready!"

On the street, in a steaming bun shop, the owner and waiter are busy at work. This bun shop has the best reputation in the area, with affordable prices and delicious, large buns, making it a favorite among local residents.

However, high-quality and delicious steamed buns can occasionally attract the attention of some "criminals".

Sure enough, just as the shopkeeper was busy serving customers, a small, ragged figure quietly slipped into the steamed bun shop, followed by a similarly sneaky little white cat.

The steamers were stacked on the cutting board, the plump and oily buns glistening with an enticing sheen. A black tuft of hair peeked out from under the table, shook playfully, and then pointed to the steamer like a compass.

The owner of the cat with the ahoge (cowlick) grabbed two steaming hot char siu buns with lightning speed and stuffed them into his clothes. The next second, he turned around, lowered his body, and ran out of the shop. The white cat followed closely behind, carrying another bun in its mouth.

The thief who stole the steamed buns was a beggar boy of about five or six years old. He had long, jet-black hair and was wearing an adult-sized cotton coat. He looked rather comical as he ran.

A homeless child taking risks to steal food in order to survive would be a very common thing for Ellie in this era. But this time it's different because he is not an ordinary child, but a real time traveler.

Just three days ago, he was sleeping in his rented room when a spinning, transforming, and departing vehicle crashed into his home and sent him to another world with a single punch.

Not only that, his body regressed to childhood; he retained all his memories of his past life, but had forgotten his own name. As for the white cat, it was a companion he found, named Xiaobai.

There exists a calamity in this world called the Void, which is an invisible spatial realm that appears out of thin air and gradually expands at a certain rate.

[1. The boundary of the void ignores all known physical barriers.]

[2. The Void can be entered from anywhere, but cannot be exited by normal means.]

[3. No known means of observing the interior of the cavity from the outside, except by the legendary rope maker [Phaethon].]

[4. If left unchecked, the void will continue to expand and distort its internal contents.]

[5. Eliminating monsters within the cave can reduce or suppress their activity.]

In the Zero World, besides the Void, there is another special resource: Aether.

Ether is a mysterious resource that only occurs in voids.

Geological environments distorted and altered by cavities can give rise to many resources that can only be synthesized or stabilized under extreme conditions, the most precious of which is ether.

Ether has the following characteristics:

[1. Aether is produced only within voids, but can exist outside of voids.]

[2. Ether is a universal and versatile resource, the best choice and the only alternative to the old civilization's energy system.]

[3. Ether can be transformed into various forms (such as energy bodies, crystals, etc.), and solid crystals are commonly found inside voids.]

[4. The best way to truly "mine" ether is to kill the enemies inside the void.]

[5. Mining ether is an extremely risky activity.]

Besides, ordinary people who enter the void are quickly eroded and turned into skeletons. Only a few people with etheric adaptability can move around in the void for a long time...

The awkward thing is that he doesn't know the timeline he's in, so even if he knew the plot, it wouldn't be of much use.

Otherwise, he would have gone straight to the protagonist, Phaethon, and his system was exactly what he was good at.

As is well known, transmigrators are usually equipped with cheat codes, and he was no exception. However, the system that God gave him was quite useless.

[Host has detected defamatory behavior against this system. Immediate cessation is recommended.]

"How did I slander you? If you could just conjure up some food for me, I wouldn't have said such things to you."

The system is called the Favorability System. You can get rewards by accumulating favorability with specific targets. However, the problem is that the system has specific requirements for judging favorability targets; you can't just pick anyone.

Right now, he's just a dirty beggar. People might feel disgusted or pity him, but they'd never have a good impression of him. So, apart from letting him see his personal panel, this system is currently just for show.

The boy rolled his eyes at the system, which was trying to salvage its reputation, and the system, knowing it was in the wrong, stopped talking.

But just then, a commotion came from behind him. Turning around, he saw that the waiter had discovered his crime and was walking towards him menacingly.

In business, it's all about cash on delivery. Now that he wanted to dine and dash, the shop's staff naturally wouldn't allow it and dropped what they were doing to chase after him.

The boy moved quickly, and the waiter couldn't catch him for a while, so he turned his attention to the little white dog behind him.

Little White was slow, and with a char siu bun almost the size of its body in its mouth, it was quickly picked up by the waiter. The little guy's fur stood on end, and it held on to the bun tightly.

The boy running ahead suddenly turned around, took a running start, and jumped high into the air, lightly punching the waiter in the chest with his small fist. The force wasn't great, but the waiter, already unsteady, fell to the ground from the gentle push.

He never intended to fight with the other party, because he knew that what he was doing was wrong; it was theft. Don't tell him that being a transmigrator doesn't count as stealing; stealing is wrong anyway.

So before carrying out the plan, he and Xiaobai cleaned up all the rats around the shop, because he knew that the shopkeeper was terrified of rats and would never take out the trash himself after dark. By doing this, they were essentially paying for the buns. Although the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper didn't know what they had done, it made them feel a little better.

The boy took Xiaobai from the hand that had slipped from his grasp and was about to continue his escape when a pair of pale, white legs blocked his way, and at the same time, a clear, elegant female voice came from behind him.

"Sir, we'll pay for the child's steamed buns, could you please let him go?"

A white-haired woman dressed in a white and yellow Taoist robe gently steadied the waiter who was about to fall. She was also holding a coin to pay for the buns. The woman had delicate features, red eyes, a beauty mark at the corner of her eye, and her long, flowing white hair was neatly tied into a ponytail. She had an ethereal air about her and a faint smile on her lips.

But in the boy's eyes, that smile looked somewhat weary.

The other woman looked very similar to her, with snow-white long hair, a tall figure, and golden eyes, but she looked a little smaller than the first one. The two must be sisters.

The shopkeeper paused for a moment, then immediately recognized the woman's identity upon seeing her Taoist robe. He took the money bag from her, bowed slightly with a hint of respect, and left. Before leaving, he glanced at the boy and Xiaobai with a touch of helplessness, but his eyes also held a hint of congratulations.

Being chosen by these two masters means the child will at least not have to go hungry in the future.

The boy had no idea what his companion was thinking. He just looked at the two older women who had suddenly appeared in front of him with a puzzled expression, and at their snow-white thighs exposed to the cold wind.

He has only one thought right now.

"Aren't you cold wearing that in the dead of winter?"

However, he naturally wouldn't voice this thought, as that would be far too impolite, especially since the two older women in front of him had just helped him.

[The system has detected that the host has established contact with a target with whom they have a favorable relationship and gained favor. Further system functions are being enabled.]

[Let me introduce myself again. I am the Favorability System, and I am highly bound to the host's soul. All of my actions are based on the sole purpose of making the host feel happy. Thank you for using me.]

Chapter Two: Becoming an Apprentice, Wen Xueqi's Fate

He was startled by the system notification that suddenly rang in his ears, and then he remembered to thank the two people in front of him.

"Thank...Thank you."

After saying this, the boy lowered his head, hugging the kitten tightly in his arms. His nose was red from the cold and he didn't make a sound. The two people thought he was frightened.

However, this is understandable. For a child like him to survive in this kind of world, he needs to be vigilant.

Before being adopted by their master, they lived a life just as hard as the boy before them. But now, everything has changed. They've grown up, but their master...

Looking at the boy in front of me, how similar this scene is to the situation I was in before. Could this be fate?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on the woman's lips, and her eyes were filled with nostalgia and tenderness. She squatted down and gently touched the boy's hair, seemingly not at all disgusted by his dirty appearance.

"The steamed buns at that shop are delicious, but don't steal them next time. The owner of that shop is known for her bad temper around here, and the staff can't just turn a blind eye. My sister and I almost got caught by them before."

Sensing the women's friendly attitude, the young man's eyes lit up. After all, these two older women had not only helped him out of a predicament, but the system had also already marked them as potential allies—meaning his cheat ability could finally be put to use.

Sure enough, the system issued him his first task the next second.

[System task issued: The weak and helpless host urgently needs a place to stay. Try to get the big sister in front of you to take you in. Completing the task will reward you with a random reward.]

That's more like a system... But how can I be adopted? The boy thought for a while, then pretended to be a little timid and asked.

"I...I didn't steal anything. Xiaobai and I have already caught all the rats in the neighborhood for them. Consider these two buns as our wages."

He lowered his head to explain, and the little white dog in his arms meowed in agreement. But looking at the two older women in front of him, it was hard to believe they had once been beggars like him. Perhaps saying something from that perspective would be helpful?

"Sisters, you were orphans like me before, right? Can you tell me how you ended up like this? Xiaobai and I don't want to go hungry anymore!"

The two women's lips twitched slightly upon hearing this. The child in front of them was quite cute, and he was so eloquent. But it was good, since they had originally planned to take him with them anyway.

"Ahem, do you want to know? I can tell you, but..."

As she spoke, the woman extended her hand to him and said with a smile.

"However, I'll charge you a consultation fee equivalent to one steamed bun."

"Hmm...Here you go..."

The boy reluctantly handed over the steamed bun. If a single bun could buy him a long-term meal ticket, it was worth it, especially since the other person had paid for it in the first place.

The woman took the bun, gently broke it open, handed the larger half to her younger sister beside her, took a bite of her own half, and then said...

"Ahem, young man, I see you have extraordinary talent and are a promising martial arts prospect. How about you become my disciple and join the Yun Kui Mountain sect?"

Yunkui Mountain? I remember hearing that name in a teaser trailer I saw in my previous life. I don't know much about the others since I haven't started playing yet, but it seems to be a very powerful mountain sect.

But why does this tone sound like it's trying to scam people?

Does it include meals and accommodation?

After thinking for a moment, the boy replied that this was the issue he cared about most right now. As long as he and Xiaobai could have enough to eat, everything else was negotiable.

"You can eat as many char siu bao and other delicacies as you want, as long as you join Yun Kui Shan!"

The woman gave the boy a thumbs up and readily agreed. For some reason, the woman's sister standing next to her gave her a rather intriguing look.

A glint flashed in the boy's eyes, and then he knelt down before the two of them at lightning speed. If that's the case, there's only one answer!

"Master, please accept my bow!"

"Hmm, you're a quick learner. From today onwards, you'll be our disciple!"

The woman smiled with satisfaction upon hearing this, and gently helped the boy up from the ground. Her younger sister, standing nearby, smiled helplessly.

This woman suddenly had the idea to take on apprentices, and somehow she dragged herself into it too. Oh well, as long as she's happy.

[Congratulations, host, for completing the mission and successfully becoming a disciple of Yunkui Mountain. Rewards are being distributed...]

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired the skill "Warm Snow Abode"]

[Warm Snow Abode: This skill imbues one's speech and actions with an approachable aura, making it easier to increase the favorability of those around them.]

The next second, the boy seemed to be surrounded by a very faint, translucent white light, floating slowly like snow dust. The strange phenomenon only lasted for a moment before returning to normal.

His demeanor seemed to have become more aloof, and his face, hidden by his hair, was so beautiful it was almost unreal. His fair skin, which could not be concealed by dirt, made him appear even more delicate, and one glance at him would make one feel tenderness and affection.

Meanwhile, the two older women on the other side felt that the boy in front of them had undergone some subtle change. They couldn't quite put their finger on it, but they felt that he seemed to have become cuter than before, making them want to hug him and get close to him, not letting anyone take him away.

Realizing her earlier thought, the red-eyed woman blushed and shook her head slightly to shake the strange idea out of her mind.

"Disciple, I will now take you back to Yunkui Mountain. Is there anything else you would like to do?"

The master walked up to him, squatted down and gently patted his little head, then reached out and held his hand. The boy's hand was small, and although it was covered in dust, it felt very soft and warm to the touch, making it hard to put down.
