My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

The third floor might not kill you from the fall.

But the zombies on the street below? They could finish the job.

Meng Xu didn’t know what happened next. All he could hear were faint screams from the street outside.

“Whew~”

Taking a deep breath, Meng Xu straightened his attire and, facing the sign of “Zhang Wei Law Firm” on the thirteenth floor, raised his voice.

“Attorney Zhang, I’m really sorry, I’m back! Just now, two masked criminals—well, maybe they weren’t masked. Anyway, two criminals viciously broke into our company and injured several security personnel. So, my colleagues and I had no choice but to act, and we might have gone a bit overboard…”

Manager Zhang and Chi Wei were left tied on the third floor. Meng Xu didn’t go for the kill with Wang Zhan.

After all, he was a law-abiding citizen; how could he do that?

Moreover, Meng Xu needed to go upstairs to consult Attorney Zhang on legal matters, so he couldn’t just kill him.

But since Wang Zhan was so badly injured, someone needed to stay and take care of him. Thus, he left Manager Zhang and Chi Wei to provide him with some care and attention.

Especially with a beauty like Chi Wei accompanying you, consider yourself lucky!

Meng Xu nodded in satisfaction, proud of his arrangement.

Unfortunately, despite waiting for a while, he received no legal response from Attorney Zhang, only the constant ‘bang bang’ of the door being pounded.

“Attorney Zhang really has no manners.”

Meng Xu sighed deeply, smelling the bloody stench in the office, feeling quite regretful.

How do I put it?

Ever since obtaining the Perfect Life System, Meng Xu has felt much more energized.

【Further legal consultation completed, the value of your leaflet distribution is increasing. You have received Career Experience +3 for Leaflet Distributor.】

Seeing the golden text pop up, Meng Xu sighed in relief and turned to leave without hesitation, heading downstairs.

Ever since the elevator became unusable, Meng Xu felt his body had undergone unprecedented training.

Compared to his previously weak physique, his current condition has improved significantly.

Chi Wei and Manager Zhang were left tied between the third and second-floor stairwells.

Along with them was their new companion, Wang Zhan.

However, this new companion wasn’t in great shape. Hopefully, he could turn over a new leaf.

Thinking about this, Meng Xu rubbed his temples and planned his next actions.

“Head back to work now. The lunch break is almost over. One can slack off at work, but skipping it entirely isn’t an option.”

A headache.

Why do I still have to work in the apocalypse?!

Who am I preparing these documents for?

And wasn’t this supposed to be the Perfect Life System? Working every day doesn’t seem perfect at all!

Meng Xu grumbled internally.

Still, if the system issued tasks like ‘travel to the Maldives’ or ‘splurge in a shopping district,’ he might just pass out on the spot.

But right now, the situation is far from hopeful.

With this in mind, Meng Xu sighed deeply, walked down the stairwell, and returned to the fourth floor.

He prepared to go back to work.

Just after sitting down in his office and getting ready to start working, two lines of golden text suddenly appeared before his eyes.

【Due to your feeding, Chi Wei’s perception of you has improved. Favorability +20. Chi Wei’s current favorability is -80 points. Keep up the effort to turn her favorability from negative to positive and win her over!】
【Due to your feeding, Zhang Tao’s perception of you has improved. Favorability +20. Zhang Tao’s current favorability is -80 points. Good interpersonal relationships are the foundation of a perfect life!】

Seeing these two lines of text, Meng Xu was dumbfounded, feeling a bit creeped out.

“Who told you to have a favorable impression of me?! Damn it, what’s going on?!”

For a moment, Meng Xu nearly jumped out of his chair, furious. He instinctively grabbed his wrench, ready to go downstairs and knock that increased favorability back down.

And anyway, who fed them?

He clearly assigned them to take care of the injured—anyone who doesn’t understand shouldn’t speak nonsense!

Just as Meng Xu was about to head downstairs to give Chi Wei and Manager Zhang a piece of his mind, a new message suddenly appeared in front of him.

【As the saying goes, a skyscraper starts from the ground. A perfect life requires a struggle to achieve perfect rewards. Working for others will never match the rewards of entrepreneurship. Dear host, if you truly seek a perfect life, why not try starting your own business?】

【Triggered Task: Entrepreneurship】
【Task Rewards: Depending on the scale of the business, you can receive Freely Allocatable Career Experience, Skill Points, Attribute Points, and various Points, as well as Cash rewards.】
【Note: This is a long-term task. The larger the company, the greater the rewards.】

The sudden text caught Meng Xu off guard, making him pause. His raised hand, ready to give Chi Wei and Manager Zhang a wake-up call, slowly lowered.

He began to contemplate.

Entrepreneurship?

That’s actually a good idea.

“How about setting up a street stall to sell stir-fried beef noodles?”

Meng Xu considered the feasibility.

“And at the same time, offer some pancakes, egg-filled pancakes, fried sausages… Yeah, that sounds like a good choice.”

But the current problem is… finding raw materials and probably not having many customers.

Looking out the window at the zombie-filled streets, with Yellow Hair’s mangled body still lying there gruesomely, Meng Xu sighed.

PASS.

If a street stall isn’t viable, what else can I do?

Meng Xu felt distressed, finding the situation quite frustrating.

Other than that, Meng Xu really couldn’t think of any other entrepreneurial possibilities.

He had no choice. Coming from a rural background, he lost his parents in middle school and navigated his way through high school and college entirely on his own, without any guiding lights.

As a result, he’s always been clueless about many things, just getting by day by day.

To expect someone like him to start a business seems a bit overambitious.

But what other choice did he have? Isn’t an ordinary person’s life often like this?

【Supervisor Lin from the 12th floor still hasn’t moved his car from the parking spot. This is a disregard for you and Jianglin Electronics Technology Co., Ltd.! Your dignity cannot be trampled on! A perfect life is not one to be easily manipulated! Dear host, please teach Wanxiang International a lesson!】

【Triggered Task: Teach a Lesson!】
【Task Requirements: Establish a customer service company, directly defeat Wanxiang International, and surpass it in the customer service industry rankings of Heqing City! Reduce the number of Wanxiang International employees by 60%, leading the company to bankruptcy! Show all of Heqing City that the king of the customer service industry is back!】
【Task Rewards: Allocatable Career Experience +30, Allocatable Attribute Points +3, Points +10, Yuan+1 Million!】

The golden text in front of him made Meng Xu keenly feel the system’s intense anger.

It seemed the system was just as enraged.

But…

“I’m not even mad, and you’re already fuming?”

Meng Xu was speechless. He stretched lazily and yawned.

“Looks like the direction for entrepreneurship is set. I’ll have to start in the customer service industry.”

With that thought, Meng Xu stood up again.

He had more pressing matters to attend to.

He needed to go downstairs and give Manager Zhang and Chi Wei a couple of knocks to “fix” their heads with the wrench.

Then he’d go upstairs and reduce Wanxiang International’s workforce by 60%.

Who says reducing employees can only be done through layoffs?
