Chapter 217: In the Doomsday World
Barbara swept her tail across the tabletop: "Come with me."
It jumped down the service desk silently, and a door appeared on the wall behind it.
Su Heng followed him in.
The guests whispered behind their backs:
"The owner seems to treat Su Heng differently."
"Why? Because he's more handsome? I'm not bad either."
It’s still the reception room.
Su Heng watched the pink kitten nimbly jump onto the security lady's legs and nestle neatly on her knees.
He did not try to understand the relationship between the man and the cat, but spoke cautiously, "Perhaps you know that I am a reborn person."
He directly exposed his past.
Sure enough, the man and the cat on the opposite side did not show any change in expression when they heard this.
They really knew.
Su Heng said seriously: "In my previous life, Barbara's shop did not appear, and the war between humans and zombies was very tragic."
Zhu Yin looked at him quietly. She was a little curious about his plan. What did the protagonist want to do by coming to her at this time?
Su Heng bowed to himself and Barbara very solemnly.
He said: "I don't know for what purpose you came to this world, but I am very grateful that you saved mankind and saved our world."
As he thought, countless crystal cores poured out.
As he expected, this space was also full of wonders. The crystal cores he took out should be enough to fill several houses of such a large space, but here, they only occupied a small space.
Zhu Yin raised an eyebrow: "What do you mean?"
In terms of the number of crystal cores held, except for the stockpiles in a few bases, I'm afraid few people have more than Su Heng. After all, in the past three years, his zombie army's efficiency in harvesting zombies has been far ahead of others.
"This is a thank you gift." Su Heng said, "Without the shop owner and the shop, even if I am reborn, I will just be an ordinary supernatural being."
"If I hadn't inherited the Undead Magic from the shop, I wouldn't have gotten so many crystal cores."
He thought for a moment and added, "This isn't just mine. The crystal cores collected by my teammates are also here."
"They asked me to express my gratitude to the owner."
As for why they didn't come themselves, for some reason, those guys were inexplicably certain that the owner treated him differently.
Last time, the owner met him alone, maybe it will be the same this time?
He had no choice but to come and try it, and he really saw it.
Su Heng thought again and again what was so special about himself that made the shop owner look at him differently. After thinking it over, there was only one thing that came to his mind - rebirth.
At this point, Zhu Yin stopped pretending: "I really need a crystal core."
"I accepted all of these you gave me."
She asked Su Heng: "What do you want? As long as it's not too excessive, I can meet one of your conditions."
It's rare to meet such a discerning protagonist. She is always generous to those who catch her eye.
Su Heng shook his head: "I don't want anything anymore."
He regained his life, obtained a mysterious space, inherited magic, and gained powerful strength.
His life now is even more complete than in his countless past fantasies about the future.
Zhu Yin discovered that this man was not retreating to advance, he really thought so.
Barbara, who was lying on Zhu Yin's knees, suddenly said, "You idiot, these crystal cores are not just yours. You don't need anything. Don't your teammates want them either?"
"My hostel... the conditions promised by my master are very precious."
Owner?
Su Heng was shocked. He guessed that the identity of this security lady might not be simple, and she was definitely not an ordinary security guard.
Unexpectedly, the owner actually called her "Master".
He quickly recalled that fortunately he had always treated her with respect.
Being reminded of this by Barbara, he looked embarrassed and realized that he had indeed not thought it through: his teammates had given him the crystal core, and he really had no right to refuse on their behalf.
"Then I'll go back and discuss this with my teammates?"
Zhu Yin tilted her head and thought for a while: "How about this, I'll make the decision for you guys."
Su Heng was puzzled.
Zhu Yin smiled mysteriously: "You will know later."
After Su Heng left, Zhu Yin pinched the system's chubby face and said, "Hmm? Master?"
Barbara meowed and said confidently: "I am just a cat now. Cats need owners to scoop their poop. What's the problem?"
.
Su Heng went back and told his teammates that the owner accepted the crystal cores and promised to give everyone a benefit.
Because he did not have Zhuyin's permission, he did not reveal the relationship between the store owner and Zhuyin.
"Benefits?" Chu Fei's eyes lit up, and he rubbed his hands, "What benefits?"
Su Heng shook his head: "I don't know either. The owner said that we will know it later."
Chu Fei is very open-minded: "It's not bad to have good expectations for the future."
.
Zhuyin's mission progress bar had reached 100% when the last zombie was killed.
She released the man who had worked diligently for her for several years.
Old Xiao was stunned when he found himself standing on familiar ground.
Zhuyin said: "Okay, you are free."
She pointed to an address for Lao Xiao: "Your son is here. He has enough food and clothes and is living a good life now."
Old Xiao was extremely surprised. He hurriedly thanked Zhu Yin and went over there.
He himself did not realize that as he took steps away, the mysterious world in his mind and the mountains of treasures were gradually covered with a layer of fog, and he could no longer remember them clearly.
As for the dozens of people who originally belonged to the Phoenix Base.
Because their memories had been washed away by Zhu Yin, their eyes were clearer than each other at this moment, and they looked at Zhu Yin with full trust.
Zhu Yin looked at them, thought about it, and contacted the Phoenix Base, asking them to use the crystal core to redeem the people.
They sent people from afar to work for free, and after the job was done, they could sell them for a bit of money. The people at the Phoenix Base were all pretty nice.
After dealing with these, she felt that everything was perfect.
There was no warning.
Barbara said to the people in the store: "Thank you all for your patronage of our store. Today is the last day of business for Barbara's store. We will close tomorrow."
There are not many customers in the store every day now. After all, ordinary humans no longer have crystal cores.
These guests are more or less related to the major bases.
Ever since the zombies were eliminated, all major bases have been speculating about what will happen to the small shop.
When Barbara really said this, the top leaders of the major bases received the news and while they felt relieved, they could not help but feel ashamed for "judging others by one's own standards".
This mysterious shop really seemed to be here to solve the crisis of human survival.
When mankind was in the most difficult time, it descended from the sky, selling all kinds of magical goods and bringing magic from another world.
Now that the zombies have been eliminated and humans have begun the difficult process of reconstruction, it is also preparing to leave.
.
News came in that the store was closing.
Many magicians and psychics who still had crystal cores in their hands hurried over, trying to make one last fortune in the store.
Some people even set up stalls outside the store to barter, exchanging crystal cores and ordinary survivors for other useful things.
In the afternoon, many, many ordinary survivors came to the shop.
They are not here to buy anything.
Xu Jiayuan put a woven bag on the service counter, her eyes slightly red. "I took apart two of my old sweaters and knitted this small piece of clothing for you. I washed it many times and it's very clean. I hope you like it."
A child, led by his parents, gave Barbara his favorite toy: "Mom and Dad said that without the store owner, our family might not be able to survive. I give you my favorite little dolphin, and I hope you can always be safe and happy."
There was an old lady who made Barbara a little furry hat with a pink kitten embroidered on it that looked exactly like her.
Some people even brought crystal cores directly - knowing that the store owner liked crystal cores, they used their few valuable items to exchange with the psychics outside who were selling crystal cores.
……
The cat had never seen such a scene before. It didn't even bother to sweep its tail and lay shyly in its owner's arms.
Zhu Yin suppressed her laughter and said to them, "Barbara, the shop owner, has understood everyone's intentions. She likes it very much, but she is a little shy. I will say thank you on her behalf."
Barbara suddenly popped her head out: "Actually, I'm not a store... Ugh!"
It transmitted with its mind: "Everything was done by you, the host. They should thank you!"
Zhu Yin didn't care: "What's the difference."
"Of course." Barbara was a little anxious, "What a touching thought this is."
Zhu Yin: "It's okay. Actually, I'm not that selfless."
Barbara didn't understand.
When the afternoon business hours came, all customers who were still in the store were teleported out.
There were still a lot of people standing outside the store - now that there were no zombies, the night was no longer dangerous.
They didn't know when the store would disappear, so they could only wait here and watch.
Zhu Yin originally planned to leave directly, but looking at so many people, she sighed softly.
The next moment, in everyone's eyes, this beautiful fairy-tale shop was like a tree of fireworks spreading out and turning into stardust.
The dazzling stardust swam around them and was dragged high into the sky by a gust of wind.
It flew higher and higher, gradually becoming impossible to be captured by the naked eye, and finally, hanging high in the sky, it turned into a bright star.
The child who gave the little dolphin to Barbara exclaimed, "Dad didn't lie to me! The owner really came from heaven!"
In the darkness, some people cheered, while others cried reluctantly.
Zhuyin and Barbara stood in the dark and no one noticed them.
"Host, are we leaving this world now?"
Zhu Yin: "Wait, there is one more thing to do."
The next moment, she appeared in an uninhabited place holding the system.
This was originally the largest forest in the world, with countless giant trees that were over ten thousand years old.
After the heavy rain that destroyed the world, the sun was obscured, the land was polluted, and the ancient creatures that had silently watched over this world for thousands of years turned into decayed corpses.
Zhu Yin found the tallest tree and sat down. He waved his hand and a rain of crystal cores fell.
These hard zombie crystal cores were crushed by an invisible force before they hit the ground.
The pure energy turned into an ownerless object, scattered freely between heaven and earth.
It drilled into the earth, into the mountains, sank into the rivers, and fell into the arms of a dying world.
Only Zhu Yin could hear this scarred planet letting out a comfortable sigh.
Zhu Yin said: "There is a human named Su Heng and his friends who gave me a lot of crystal cores for free. Since this favor is for you, you must remember to repay it for me."
Barbara was puzzled: "Host, who are you talking to?"
The next moment, the system screamed in panic: "Host! What's going on! Why has our return button turned gray?"
Zhu Yin: “…”
This was her last business.
The object is not human beings, but the world.
It was a piece of cake for her to extract the energy from a large amount of crystal cores and purify the world.
But for humans, for the world's will that cannot communicate with humans, it is a hurdle that is extremely difficult to overcome.
What's more, there are some people among human beings who care more about their own interests and may not be willing to do so.
She helped so much, he should at least show some appreciation.
Unexpectedly, the young world will expressed its love and gratitude in the following way: He liked Zhu Yin and was very grateful to this outsider. He wanted to keep her and make her his agent in this world.
It's also very naive.
Zhu Yin calmed the panicked system: "Don't be afraid, it's just a small problem."
Barbara was stabbing her superior frantically, almost screaming: "Is this still a small problem, host?"
Zhu Yin said softly: "Take a good look at me. Are you sure you want me to stay in your world?"
Barbara suddenly felt a gust of wind. For some reason, she had a creepy feeling, as if she was being stared at by some extremely terrifying existence.
Fortunately, this feeling only lasted for a moment. The wind seemed to be frightened by something and shook violently, causing a dead tree to vibrate.
Barbara found that everything on her system panel had returned to normal.
The tree in front of him continued to rustle, and Zhuyin listened quietly to "Him" speaking.
The next moment, in the small world where Zhuyin's loot was located, there appeared several very rare mines, as well as various specialties of this world scattered around.
Most importantly, Zhuyin felt that a special energy fell on her.
This is the recognition of the world's will.
From now on, this world can be regarded as Zhuyin's "home". If she provokes any unmatched existence outside, she can escape to this world for refuge at any time.
The small world plane has a set of supreme laws of self-survival. If an overly powerful being enters this world, its power will be restricted. Once it uses power beyond a certain limit, it will be immediately expelled in order to maintain the stability of the plane.
In a sense, the World Will is invincible in its own plane. If He wants to protect someone in His own territory, no one can do anything about it.
This is a very precious gift that can save your life in times of crisis.
Zhu Yin was really surprised. It could be seen that the will of this world was really young. After tens of thousands of years, "He" would probably not be so generous.
Zhuyin felt a little embarrassed. She just wanted to make some money, but they just gave her the whole shop and the chef.
She had no choice but to take out things as well, and the two sides exchanged gifts and ended the conversation in a very friendly manner.
When leaving, Zhuyin could still feel his reluctance to leave.
