My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

【A perfect life necessitates a more complete social circle. Consider joining some clubs! Within these clubs, you can make many friends, perhaps encountering academic leaders, movie stars, intimate confidantes, and bosom friends. Believe that you can advance and expand your network simultaneously!】

【Triggered Task: Make Friends】
【Task Rewards: Determined by the number of friends and their level of affection.】

Meng Xu is an honest man.

He originally had no intention to mix with others, given that he had other tasks at hand.

However, upon seeing the golden text before him, Meng Xu chose to approach them with a smile.

Making friends? Who can’t do that?

With this thought, Meng Xu nodded, understanding clearly in his mind.

Before moving on to the next step, why not make a few friends first?

Holding the wrench in his hand brought him a sense of security.

In this apocalypse, one must still tread carefully!

Hahaha, no one really thinks I’m actually crazy, right?

He was perfectly sane, not mad at all.

Pleased with his resolve, Meng Xu walked confidently to the ground floor of the department store. Seeing a food cart overturned beside the road, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sympathy. He went over and righted the cart, checking the ingredients.

The weather was cold, and the food was still good.

“Let’s give it a try.”

Saliva filled his mouth as he expertly grabbed a sausage, brushed it with oil, and started frying.

What appears on the face when one consumes too much fried food?

Smiles.

Who could refuse a delicious fried sausage in a post-apocalyptic world?

Anyone who dares interrupt my sausage-eating will have their ashes scattered!

【You have unlocked the temporary business stand ‘Snack Stall’ and acquired the temporary occupation ‘Snack Vendor’.】
【Note: Since your main occupation is not Snack Vendor and you have not obtained the Career Recommendation Letter, rewards are halved, and you cannot acquire exclusive skills or experience points of the Snack Vendor occupation, nor can you upgrade it.】

【Temporary Task: Operate】
【Task Content: Sell sausages.】
【Task Rewards: Received 500 Yuan for each sausage sold. Received Allocatable Career Experience + 1 for every 10 sausages sold. Sell 50 sausages to receive the ‘Snack Vendor’ Career Recommendation Letter. First sale reward available.】

Seeing this, Meng Xu drew a sharp breath.

Similar to the Didi driver gig before.

With this in mind, Meng Xu’s heart quickened, and he immediately took out the unprocessed materials stored under the snack stand.

He didn’t know who owned the stand, but the owner had been quite thorough; there were over a hundred sausages here.

With this many sausages, would he be able to sell them all?

There’s no rush in making friends—they can’t go far from the floors above anyway.

I’ll fry up the sausages down here and then take them upstairs to sell!

A perfect plan!

Without hesitation, Meng Xu set about peeling five sausages and started frying them all at once!

Frying sausages wasn’t particularly difficult; Meng Xu easily got the hang of it… though the first three didn’t turn out perfectly due to uneven cooking.

He picked up one sausage, thought for a moment, then tentatively put a five-yuan note on the snack stand and took a bite, his brow furrowing.

“Overcooked.”

After waiting for a while and not seeing any notification of a successful sale, he sighed and pocketed the five yuan again.

What counts as a successful sale?

Meng Xu fell into deep thought but suddenly noticed a zombie shambling towards him from afar.

It was wearing a small vest, likely an employee of a nearby phone shop, though how it ended up here was a mystery.

An idea struck Meng Xu.

Surveying the area, he saw several zombies around, many standing in small groups with their backs turned, unaware of Meng Xu’s presence.

Meng Xu’s eyes brightened with understanding, and he immediately set into action.

Grabbing a shopping bag from the mall entrance, he clutched his baseball bat and carefully approached the zombies ahead.

“Shhh~”

The zombie wearing the small vest ahead twitched its body, shuffling along the narrow street.

Its vest was stained with blood, and its body was peppered with pieces of flesh, with scattered bits of intestines and organs visible. It seemed to have had a hearty meal before wandering here.

Meng Xu moved cautiously, seizing the right moment. He swung his baseball bat with a force that produced a whistling sound in the wind!

The bat struck the zombie’s head dead on, causing it to stiffen and collapse to the ground.

【Occupation: Zombie】
【Level: 0】

“Good thing I didn’t kill it.”

Meng Xu sighed in relief. Seeing the zombie start to twitch and struggle, he quickly covered its head with a shopping bag. Using various tools from the ground, he restrained it and violently dragged the zombie back to the snack stand.

“Roar—”

The zombie let out a low growl, but Meng Xu ignored it. He kicked the zombie to keep it still, grabbed a fried sausage, and uncovered the shopping bag from its head, shoving the sausage towards it.

“Eat! Eat this damn sausage!”

Without further ado, he jammed the sausage into the zombie’s mouth.

Afterwards, Meng Xu rummaged through the zombie’s pockets and found a handful of loose change.

It was about a few dozen yuan; Meng Xu didn’t count precisely.

【First sale reward: Yuan +3000.】

Seeing the golden text, Meng Xu laughed heartily.

“I get it, I get it!”

It’s not that zombies can’t do business.

It’s that zombies don’t have the means to transfer assets!

I get it now!

So, killing the zombies works too?

With this thought, Meng Xu looked at the struggling zombie and, without hesitation, picked up his wrench, giving it a perfect sleep.

After killing the zombie, Meng Xu stood up and spotted a child zombie not far away.

This time, Meng Xu was more straightforward. He walked over, killed it with one hit, then dragged the body back and repeated the process.

However, Meng Xu encountered a problem.

No money, no change in the pockets!

“Damn it, everyone uses electronic payments now. Who carries cash around anymore?”

Meng Xu’s face darkened. Zombies certainly wouldn’t scan a QR code to pay.

So, his target customers could only be those zombies carrying cash… But who carries cash anymore in today’s society?!

“Forget it; a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. I’ll fry more sausages, sell them to the survivors on the second floor, and check for wandering zombies on the first floor to see if they have any cash.”

Meng Xu was full of confidence.

I am the King of Fried Sausages!
