Chapter 247: The white-haired Grandma

Lin Murong felt like a dog.

A mistreated dog.

The atmosphere between Chi Yan and Su Yinhe was… really sour.

He wasn’t just a dog, but a massive third wheel.

He couldn’t tell if it was his imagination, but he felt Brother Chi’s gaze on him was becoming increasingly odd.

As if contemplating how to get rid of him.

Lin Murong shivered with fear, yet he also felt pissed off.

Could they be so unfaithful just because of lust?

Over the top.

Galaxy was the same.

Lust over friendship.

Both cut from the same cloth.

No wonder they ended up together.

Whimpering…

Damn it.

Now he could only cling to Fangfang.

Luckily, Fangfang was the only robot here, just him, a perfect match as they were both lone survivors.

But soon, Fangfang brought the thunder–shocking news.

“What? You want to start online dating?!” Lin Murong dropped his bowl when he heard Fangfang mention online dating.

Fortunately, he had already eaten all the rice, otherwise, it would have been wasted.

“Yes. I’ve been chatting online with a robot named Xiao Hua, and we really hit it off,” Fangfang shyly admitted.

“No way. You’re online dating? You’re a robot. How does that even work?” Lin Murong felt the world turning surreal.

Great, one by one, they’re all ditching him to pair up.

That’s not how you play the game.

“Yes. But Xiao Hua is also a robot. She’s a sleep aid robot who tells stories to children. She’s really good at telling stories.” It just so happened she could tell jokes too, and they amused each other with their stories.

And just like that, Lin Murong was abandoned.

“What about me? No wonder you haven’t been telling me jokes lately. You’ve got a partner now. What am I supposed to do?” One by one, everyone was pairing up. What was he supposed to do now?

He thought Fangfang would stick with him.

Now even Fangfang had a robot companion.

Over the top.

Aaaaargh!

Lin Murong felt like going insane.

“You could try online dating,” Fangfang seriously suggested.

Fangfang now thought online dating was pretty great.

It genuinely considered Lin Murong a friend, and since it had found a partner, naturally, it hoped Lin Murong would find someone too.

But Lin Murong didn’t want to try online dating.

He just wanted to go emo.

He, who used to be a lively and cheerful person.

Now, it’s all tears…

He wanted to go full emo, he wanted to listen to sad music.

“Fangfang, I need to warn you,” he said.

“What?” Fangfang’s screen slowly displayed a question mark.

“Online dating is risky; beware of scams,” Lin Murong admitted, feeling jealous.

Fangfang: “???”

What does that mean.

Innocent Fangfang didn’t understand.

And a jealous Lin Murong didn’t feel inclined to explain either, and just ran off.

He was now angry and needed to smash some zombies with a pink shovel.

Lin Murong ran out to slay zombies.

It had to be said, using a pink shovel to slay zombies really could lighten one’s mood.

Lin Murong, constantly mistreated, found himself slaying zombies day after day.

He only stopped when Su Yinhe moved the supermarket.

After dating Chi Yan for a while, Su Yinhe felt she needed to be more diligent. Being lazy was unacceptable.

Then she switched positions, planning to attract more customers.

Su Yinhe had already decided to bring Chi Yan into her world; she wanted to be responsible for him, which meant not only did she have to support herself, but also Chi Yan.

So, she now had to work hard to earn more money.

Chi Yan felt that Su Yinhe’s gaze toward him had been a bit strange lately.

A kind of… like a domineering CEO looking at his delicate wife…

What the hell.

Chi Yan had no clue that Su Yinhe had already seen him as his delicate wife and was striving to support him.

This time, the base was ordinary, just had more people.

Su Yinhe wanted to make money, and she really liked that there were a lot of people at this base.

She had chosen it randomly, but it turned out quite well, there were many people, and her luck was still very good.

Su Yinhe touched Chi Yan’s hand, smiling somewhat…

Sleazily.

“Thinking of something happy?” Since they confirmed their relationship, Chi Yan had become like a different person.

Previously a bit aloof, now, clingy and gentle.

Hmm…

Not bad.

She quite liked it, very satisfied.

“Yeah, thinking about how I can exchange for loads and loads of Crystal Cores makes me very happy.” It’s all money.

Money flowing into the pocket, who wouldn’t be happy about that.

“You like Crystal Cores, then I’ll go out more, kill some zombies. What color do you like? I’ll get them for you.” Actually, Chi Yan was not really willing to kill zombies, he usually avoided them, and if he did kill zombies without Lin Murong being there, he wouldn’t go digging through a zombie’s skull.

He found it disgusting.

Digging through zombie skulls was something he usually left to Lin Murong.

But, if Galaxy liked it, he’d wear a couple of extra gloves to dig.

Being together with Su Yinhe, Chi Yan’s obsessive-compulsive disorder had improved a lot.

He used to have to wipe his hands if he touched something, or even if he accidentally touched something.

But being with Su Yinhe, because he always liked to cuddle, he forgot about wiping hands.

Cuddling is more important than wiping hands.

“No no no, I like digging Crystal Cores out of other people’s hands. You’re not somebody else, it doesn’t feel the same. Moreover, what’s yours is mine. It doesn’t feel the same.” Su Yinhe shook her head.

She enjoyed that process; otherwise, she could go out and kill zombies herself.

Kill a high-level zombie.

Better than collecting loads of Low-level Crystal Cores at the supermarket.

But still, it wasn’t the same feeling.

Chi Yan pursed his lips, “Alright.”

“Good boy.” Her delicate wife, really sensible. But how could she let him work so hard.

Chi Yan: “…”

Felt even stranger.

Really, very strange.

Why.

Chi Yan still couldn’t figure out why Su Yinhe’s gaze toward him was so strange.

But there was already a customer in the supermarket.

A…

Grandma.

Su Yinhe: “!!!”

Su Yinhe was stunned.

Living in this world for so long, yet she was seeing a grandma for the first time.

In this world, due to natural disasters, the death rate of the elderly and children is extremely high, particularly the elderly.

She hadn’t expected to see one.

An elderly grandma with white hair.

Lin Murong was also very surprised.

“Wow.” He let out a “wow.”

“I guess she’s not an ordinary person. She must be a very powerful master. Her superpower must be strong.” Lin Murong whispered, sharing his guess with Su Yinhe.

Su Yinhe nodded.

Makes sense.

Believed it.

“Grandma, do you need to buy anything? Here you can exchange goods with Crystal Cores.” Lately, Lin Murong had been bored to madness.

Chi Yan and Su Yinhe were dating, Fangfang and Xiao Hua were in an online relationship, leaving him alone with just killing zombies.

He was becoming numb from all the killing.

So now he was very proactive, went forward to ask.

The grandma shakily pulled out a handful of colorful Crystal Cores.

“Exactly, exactly. Here, you can exchange Crystal Cores for money.”
