My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

“Attorney Zhang Wei… hello, my name is Shen Zhaozhao. I’m 24 years old, a graduate from Modu University with a degree in Chinese Language and Literature… I, I’m here to seek legal advice… I have a friend… She…”

On the thirteenth floor, Shen Zhaozhao’s complexion was ashen. Her voice was trembling with fear as she shakily spoke to Attorney Zhang Wei’s law firm, recounting her ‘case’ while stealing glances at Meng Xu, who was sitting on the sofa nearby. She feared that any misstep might provoke Meng Xu and earn her a wrench thrown her way.

The door, incessantly clawed at by zombies, the occasional screams from the street, and the powerful lunatic sitting on the sofa with a blood-stained baseball bat and wrench—all of it weighed heavily on Shen Zhaozhao’s mind.

Of course, what terrified Shen Zhaozhao even more were…

The two zombies at the door, looking as though they were dying to devour her.

One had only half a face left.

Meng Xu, lounging on the sofa with his legs crossed, noticed Shen Zhaozhao sneaking a glance at him.

Seeing that he hadn’t received any rewards, he said, “Hey, stick to your lines. Why are you looking at me? Do I have the answers on my face? Is this the level of a graduate from Modu University? It feels like you’re worse than a vocational school graduate!”

Startled by Meng Xu’s words, Shen Zhaozhao quickly averted her gaze and continued, “I have a friend… She’s being oppressed at work by her boss… Her boss bit her…”

She gave up on trying to make sense and just said whatever came to mind.

Why had she ended up here?

The reason was simple.

Half an hour ago, she was still hiding in the restroom when Meng Xu slid in skillfully, using great force to wedge the door open. He then stuffed over thirty leaflets into her hands, asking if she was interested in swimming, fitness, legal issues, or real estate.

It sounded like an ordinary leaflet distribution, but to Shen Zhaozhao, the scene was terrifying.

A lunatic with blood still on his face, holding a blood-stained wrench, was so thrilled to see her in the midst of the apocalypse.

In such circumstances, Shen Zhaozhao felt like Meng Xu might attack her at any moment.

Thus, she could only choose to comply.

She spent half an hour handing out leaflets to zombies with Meng Xu, then accompanied him to the thirteenth floor.

Following Meng Xu’s direction…

Consulting with Attorney Zhang, who had turned into a zombie, felt bizarre and surreal to Shen Zhaozhao.

It was absurdly ridiculous.

Finally, after stammering through an entire legal consultation, Meng Xu nodded with a smile, saying something that surprisingly gave Shen Zhaozhao a sense of relief.

“Good job.”

……

【A leaflet you distributed has attracted a customer. You have received: Yuan +1000 and Leaflet Distributor Career Experience +1.】
【Leaflet distribution completed. You have received task rewards: Career Experience +1, Yuan+10,000, and Points +2.】

【Your occupation can be upgraded!】
【You have successfully upgraded your occupation. Current occupation level: Leaflet Distributor Level. 3 (0/20).】
【You received 0.5 Agility, 0.5 Constitution, and 0.5 Strength.】

【Your current attribute are: Spirit: 9, Constitution: 10, Strength: 13, Agility: 11.5.】

After receiving the task rewards, Meng Xu completed the necessary operations to upgrade his occupation level. Seeing his attributes increase, he felt very satisfied.

Hard work yields rewards. Only by continuously improving his strength could he create a perfect life!

“Shen Zhaozhao, right?”

Meng Xu looked at Shen Zhaozhao with satisfaction, his eyes gleaming as if she were a treasure.

“Excellent, you did well!”

With Shen Zhaozhao, his leaflet distribution efficiency had greatly improved.

Moreover, he could send Shen Zhaozhao to consult Attorney Zhang for legal advice daily, effectively farming experience.

Even if she couldn’t farm experience, there was still swimming, fitness, and new home presales. All these would grant experience points!

Very useful.

Shen Zhaozhao’s eyes darted nervously, and her smile was forced. She seemed quite frightened of him.

Why would she be scared of him?

It shouldn’t be him she’s afraid of, right?

Meng Xu asked with concern, “What are you afraid of? Did I scare you?”

“No, no, everything is fine, brother. You are kind and friendly, the nicest, most benevolent person I’ve ever met.”

Shen Zhaozhao’s face was pale as she quickly denied it, assuring Meng Xu that he was great.

Seeing Shen Zhaozhao’s reaction, Meng Xu finally felt at ease.

There you go, it’s not my problem after all.

Satisfied, Meng Xu suddenly asked, “Did you pay?”

“Pay?”

Shen Zhaozhao looked puzzled, not understanding what Meng Xu meant.

“Yeah, pay. Legal consultations require payment, right? Look, it says right there, 200 per hour. You just chatted for half an hour, so leave 100 for Attorney Zhang.”

Meng Xu pointed to a notice board nearby as he spoke, his tone completely natural.

Paying for services is only right.

Shen Zhaozhao was momentarily speechless, but she still rummaged through her things, hurriedly pulling out 100 yuan and carefully handing it to Meng Xu.

“Why are you giving it to me? Give it to Attorney Zhang. Just leave it at the door! See, that money over there is from my last consultation,” Meng Xu said casually.

However, as he spoke, Meng Xu suddenly had a bold idea.

He was going to start a company!

With a task at hand and now a second person besides himself, it was the perfect time.

“My name is Meng Xu. ‘Meng’ as in Mencius and ‘Xu’ as in order.”

Meng Xu spoke politely, kindly addressing Shen Zhaozhao, “Shen Zhaozhao, I’m planning to start a business. Your company doesn’t seem to be doing well. Would you be interested in working for mine?”

Hearing Meng Xu’s friendly tone, Shen Zhaozhao shivered.

The last time Meng Xu was this polite and courteous was when he was smashing zombie heads with his bat right in front of her.

Seeing Meng Xu’s kind expression, Shen Zhaozhao responded rationally: “Hello, boss. I’m Shen Zhaozhao. I’m willing to join your company.”

Meng Xu: ?

Wait, there’s so much to do?

It’s the apocalypse, and I still have to go to all these departments to process the necessary paperwork?!

Are you kidding me?!

And when did Chi Wei and Manager Zhang become his employees? He hadn’t even recruited them!
