21: Chapter 21 Changing Mindset

Noon.

Lin Yuan leaned against the wall, watching the snowflakes still falling outside the window.

The snow-covered landscape was breathtakingly beautiful.

But he knew very well that behind this beauty lay a deadly crisis.

Lin Yuan opened the system panel to check his current status.

【infinite supplies favor system】

【Host: Lin Yuan】

【Physique: 8 (Normal male is 10)】

【Superpower: None】

【Goddesses Collected: Ye Qingxue (Lev.1), Ye Qingyue (Lev.1)】

【Unlocked Supplies: frost curse antidote, e-grade energy mineral water】

Lin Yuan looked at the panel and fell into deep thought.

Although he now had the e-grade energy mineral water, the survival problem was temporarily solved.

But this was far from enough.

The system stated very clearly that the animals and plants in this world would continue to evolve.

He was currently hiding in this twenty-five square meter studio, relying on concrete walls to isolate himself from the mutant creatures.

But if those mutant creatures continued to evolve, perhaps one day they would be able to break through the walls.

By then, he would be dead for sure.

Lin Yuan would never allow such a thing to happen.

He had to become stronger.

He must unlock more supplies.

More weapons, armor, and even supplies that could enhance his abilities.

And the only way to unlock supplies was to collect Goddesses.

Lin Yuan took a deep breath and made a decision.

He had to find more Goddesses.

But the problem was, as a shut-in loser before the Apocalypse, where would he know any Goddesses?

He rarely talked to girls, let alone knew beauties at the level of a campus belle.

However...

Lin Yuan's gaze fell upon the two sisters in the room.

Beauties hung out with other beauties.

Ye Qingxue and Ye Qingyue as the campus belle sisters of Jiangcheng University certainly knew many beauties.

This was the best breakthrough point.

Lin Yuan stood up and walked to the bedside.

Ye Qingxue was sitting on the bed, dazed, while Ye Qingyue was leaning in her sister's arms, her eyes unfocused.

"I have something to ask you."

Lin Yuan said calmly.

Ye Qingxue raised her head, looking at him with wary eyes.

She had learned over the past few days that whenever Lin Yuan used this tone, it meant something troublesome was coming.

"What is it?"

Ye Qingxue's voice was a bit hoarse.

Lin Yuan didn't waste words and got straight to the point:

"I need to find more beauties."

His tone was very calm, as if he were talking about the most ordinary thing.

"Do you know any beauties?"

Ye Qingxue's expression changed instantly.

She immediately understood what Lin Yuan meant.

This man...

He wanted to... also... their friends...

"You... what do you want to do?"

Ye Qingxue's voice was trembling.

Although she already had the answer in her heart, she still couldn't believe it.

Lin Yuan looked at her and said indifferently:

"You should know very well what I want to do."

"I need them."

"As for what exactly I need them for, you know in your heart."

Ye Qingxue was trembling all over.

She gritted her teeth, anger welling up in her eyes.

"In your dreams!"

She almost shouted it out.

"I will never tell you!"

Lin Yuan shrugged, not angry.

"Suit yourself."

He turned and walked back to the wall, sitting down against it.

"Anyway, I was just asking."

"It doesn't matter if you don't tell me."

"At worst, I'll just keep staying like this."

"Until the day the monsters outside break through the wall."

"The three of us will die together."

These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Ye Qingxue's head.

She froze.

Lin Yuan spoke very calmly, but every word felt like a knife stabbing into her heart.

That's right...

If they didn't find a way to become stronger, they would die sooner or later.

The monsters outside were still constantly evolving.

How long could this studio protect them?

One month? Two months?

Or... even shorter?

And all the resources were with this man...

Ye Qingxue closed her eyes, tears flowing silently down.

She hated.

She hated this man.

She hated his shamelessness.

She hated that he was dragging their friends into this too.

But she hated her own incompetence even more.

She hated that she didn't even have the power to protect her friends.

Just then, a soft voice sounded:

"Brother Lin Yuan..."

Ye Qingyue raised her head from her sister's arms and looked at Lin Yuan.

"Are... are you trying to save more people?"

This sentence made Ye Qingxue open her eyes abruptly.

"Qingyue, don't speak!"

Ye Qingxue hurriedly covered her sister's mouth.

But Ye Qingyue pushed her sister's hand away.

She tilted her head, looking at Lin Yuan innocently:

"If Brother Lin Yuan can save more people... wouldn't that be great?"

Lin Yuan looked at Ye Qingyue, sneering inwardly.

This naive little girl was truly innocently cute.

To think she would actually think in this direction.

However, this was a good thing for him.

"Yes, I want to save more people."

Lin Yuan said, following her lead.

"But the premise is that I need to know where they are."

"So, can you tell me?"

"Do you know any beauties who need help?"

Ye Qingyue's eyes lit up.

She sat up straight and thought seriously:

"My... my teacher!"

"Teacher Bai Xingli!"

"She is a very good person and takes good care of us."

"If Brother Lin Yuan can save her, that would be great!"

Ye Qingxue instantly grabbed her sister's arm.

"Qingyue! Are you crazy?!"

She lowered her voice, but her tone was full of anxiety and anger.

"Don't you know what he wants to do?!"

"He... he is trying to..."

Ye Qingyue tilted her head, looking at her sister.

Her eyes were still very innocent.

"Sister, what are you talking about?"

"Isn't Brother Lin Yuan trying to save people?"

Ye Qingxue looked at her sister's innocent eyes, her heart aching like it was being twisted by a knife.

She didn't know how to explain it to her sister.

She couldn't bear to break her sister's last bit of innocence.

And even less could she bear to let her sister know what would happen to the person she had named herself.

"Qingyue... say no more..." Ye Qingxue said seriously.

But Ye Qingyue shook her head.

"Sister, I've already said it."

"And, I trust Brother Lin Yuan."

She turned to look at Lin Yuan and smiled sweetly:

"Brother Lin Yuan, I'll show you a photo of my teacher, okay?"

Lin Yuan nodded.

Ye Qingyue picked up her phone from the nightstand.

Although there was no signal now, the photos were still there.

She opened the album, found a photo, and handed it to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan took the phone and looked at the screen.

In the photo was a mature and beautiful woman.

She looked to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old.

Her figure was hot, with a curvaceous body.

She was wearing a black professional suit, which outlined perfect curves.

Her long hair draped over her shoulders, and her eyes were charming.

The unique charm of a mature woman seemed to overflow from the screen.

Lin Yuan's heart raced.

What a top-tier woman!

If he could bring her into his fold...

But he quickly calmed down.

Now was not the time to be impulsive.

He looked at the photo, calculating in his mind.

Jiangcheng University was about five kilometers away from here.

There must be mutant creatures on the road.

With his current strength...

He was weaker than an average male.

Going out was just asking for death.

Not to mention having to protect the two sisters.

No.

Going out now was too risky.

He had to think of other ways.

Lin Yuan returned the phone to Ye Qingyue and said calmly:

"Your teacher is very beautiful."

"But it's too dangerous to go out now."

"We need to wait a bit."

Ye Qingyue was a bit disappointed, but she still nodded.

"Then... when can we go to save the teacher?"

Lin Yuan looked at her, and an idea welled up in his heart.

Perhaps...

There was no need to go out.

He could also increase his strength.

The system had said that deep communication could increase the Goddess's level.

Thereby increasing the quality of the supplies.

If he could upgrade the e-grade energy mineral water to D-grade, C-grade...

Perhaps it would unlock new effects.

Lin Yuan's eyes brightened slightly.

This strategy was worth a try.

Anyway, going out now was looking for death.

He might as well try this method first.

If it succeeded, he could not only increase his strength but also continue to hide here.

If it didn't succeed...

Then he would have no choice but to risk going out.

Lin Yuan made his decision.

He looked at the two sisters and said calmly:

"When I'm ready, I'll go."

"For now, you two rest well."

Ye Qingxue hugged her sister, tears flowing silently down.

She knew what Lin Yuan was planning.

She also knew that Teacher Bai Xingli had already been mentioned by her sister herself.

No matter what, Lin Yuan would not let her go.

Ye Qingxue closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair.

I'm sorry...

Teacher Bai...

It was me who harmed you...

But, was it really harming Teacher Bai?

Lin Yuan having mineral water with strange effects already surpassed the survival of most people.

Ye Qingxue couldn't tell the difference for a moment!

Outside the window, the snow was still falling.

In the room, the atmosphere became oppressive and heavy.

Lin Yuan leaned against the wall, calculating his next plan.

He must increase his strength as soon as possible.

And the method to increase his strength was right in front of him.

These two top-tier sisters.

Lin Yuan looked at them, a smile curling at the corners of his mouth.
