My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

Chapter 33 - Prudence Is My Principle



Having completed the tasks at the Bureau of Commerce, Meng Xu felt at ease. As he turned around and exited, he looked at the scattered wrecked vehicles and the zombies wandering nearby. With a relaxed demeanor, he strolled as if he were out for a leisurely walk.

Life is boundless joy.

However, be it his imagination or otherwise, Meng Xu felt that the number of zombies around seemed to have decreased compared to the first day.

Nevertheless…

The large population base ensured that even with some reduction, there were still plenty of zombies.

Be prudent and act cautiously!

With this conviction, Meng Xu exhaled and walked towards the nearby bank.

The situation at the bank was similar to that at the Bureau of Commerce, but it seemed more severe. For some reason, the glass at the entrance was shattered, and there were several pools of dried blood on the floor, congealed into a thick, dark brown state.

“Tsk tsk.”

Meng Xu shook his head, unable to see the initial scene, but it must have been brutal.

“We’re all polite and civilized people. Can’t we queue up to withdraw money one by one?”

Meng Xu felt deeply distressed.

What’s wrong with people these days? Such a lack of manners?

If zombies lack manners, that’s one thing. But humans too?

With these thoughts, Meng Xu first went to the ATM and inserted the bank card he got from the customer named Zhang or something, skillfully withdrawing 30,000 yuan.

【Detected possession of 30,000 Yuan in cash. It’s inconvenient to carry and prone to robbery. Would you like to deposit it into the Cash Space? (Accessible anytime)】

Meng Xu immediately nodded and stored the 30,000 yuan in the cash space.

【Current Total Assets in Cash Space: 201,000 Yuan.】

Seeing the total asset reminder, Meng Xu was stunned.

“Two hundred thousand?!”

He was taken aback, not expecting to have accumulated 200,000 yuan in just three or four days, with a daily income exceeding a staggering 70,000 yuan!

Don’t ask why it’s over 70,000; it’s because Meng Xu spent 100,000 on a ten-draw.

Instantly, Meng Xu felt like a successful person!

With a daily income of 70,000 yuan, his annual salary would be 25,550,000 yuan. What a colossal sum of wealth!

A certain famous real estate company is said to be two trillion yuan in debt. At this rate, Meng Xu would only need to start earning from the Pleistocene epoch of the Quaternary period, 78,277 years ago, and continue working until now to pay it all off!

Well…

Thinking about it, there wasn’t much to be excited about.

Meng Xu sighed, then calmly entered the bank counter area, planning to repeat his previous method.

Although he didn’t know the exact procedures, filling out forms should suffice.

The bank was eerily silent, with only the sound of Meng Xu’s pen scratching on paper.

After completing the form, Meng Xu placed it on the counter.

He waited for a while, but the familiar golden text didn’t appear, causing him to frown. He took out his phone to check.

The network was sluggish, but Meng Xu had gotten used to this 2G lifestyle.

After a brief wait, he saw on Baidu that a 30,000 yuan registration fee was required.

“Such a hassle?”

Reluctantly, Meng Xu withdrew 30,000 yuan and placed it on the counter.

【Registration step completed. Stage reward received: Freely distributable Allocatable Career Experience +10, Freely Allocatable Attribute Point +1, Freely Allocatable Skill Point +1, and Yuan +10,000.】

As expected, that was the missing step.

Meng Xu sighed in relief.

Anything that can be solved with money isn’t a problem!

The reason: Chairman Meng is very wealthy!

After deducting the 30,000 yuan but gaining another 10,000 yuan, Meng Xu’s current assets were still 180,000 yuan.

As long as he didn’t indulge in cash lotteries, it was more than enough.

“Deep Blue, start allocating points!”

With all the rewards in place, Meng Xu didn’t hesitate to call out loudly.

“First, give the Leaflet Distributor 20 experience points and upgrade to level 4. Then allocate the attribute point to strength! My fists are hungry and thirsty!”

【Upgrade successful. Your Career ‘Leaflet Distributor’ has been upgraded from Level 3 to Level 4.】

【As a Leaflet Distributor, often working in extreme weather conditions, a Level 4 Leaflet Distributor has developed a good temperament, a physique unafraid of extreme weather, and swiftness. You will receive certain attribute bonuses.】
【You have gained 1 point in Agility, 1 point in Constitution, and 0.5 points in Spirit.】
【Attributes have been allocated for you.】

【Current Attributes: Spirit·10.5, Constitution·11, Strength·17, Agility·12.5.】

With the experience in place, Meng Xu felt a weight lift off his shoulders!

“The beast within is awakening!”

Meng Xu, holding his wrench, confidently shouted a famous game line.

Your Chairman Meng, is endlessly arrogant!

Filled with confidence, Meng Xu strolled through the bank after filling out the forms.

After all, he had only ever been able to walk around the front desk and lobby before; he had never seen the vaults or anything like that.

As Meng Xu walked along, he noticed bloodstains on the floor, evidence of a fierce struggle. A corpse lay on the ground, and Meng Xu confirmed its death only after failing to see any information displayed. Satisfied, he continued deeper into the bank, only to find the vault tightly sealed, much to his disappointment.

He had hoped to pick up some money.

After wandering around the bank for a bit, Meng Xu found nothing else of interest and proceeded to leave.

The sun was bright, and the scenery was pleasant.

However, the blood and stench lingering in the air left Meng Xu somewhat dissatisfied.

“Sigh, how many days have the sanitation workers been off? Such negligence is unacceptable. Once I finish my paperwork, I must establish a sanitation department… No, a whole environmental sanitation division in the company that is dedicated to cleaning work.”

Meng Xu muttered to himself. He valued environmental hygiene highly and resolved that his future company would rigorously address this issue.

Since acquiring the system, Meng Xu’s mental state has been excellent, with a solid ten points.

He was gradually understanding the system.

Why question it when you can embrace it?

Who says a perfect life can’t include a perfect apocalypse?

As he exited the bank, Meng Xu suddenly felt a prickle, sensing that someone was watching him.

The feeling made him frown, a shiver running down his spine.

This discomfort was something Meng Xu didn’t enjoy.

Not one to indulge it, Meng Xu loudly shouted, “Who’s there? Who’s watching me?! I’m warning you, don’t let me catch you! Or you’ll have terrible luck!”

His loud shouting quickly drew a few non-mainstream zombies from the corners, who roared and charged at Meng Xu.

Meng Xu snorted, picked up his baseball bat, and launched a series of smooth combos!

In an instant, skulls flew.

Three zombies at once were no match for him!

With the blood still warm on his weapon, he added more souls to his tally.

After beating down these three zombies, Meng Xu noticed something and looked up. Across the street, on the third floor of the department store, three people were watching him, gesturing animatedly.

Seeing this, Meng Xu, puzzled, shouted loudly, “What are you doing? Just open the window and speak. I can’t understand sign language!”

Startled by Meng Xu’s shouting, the three hurriedly drew the curtains.
