Chapter 13: Is He Even Human? What Can You Do About It? (Please Keep Reading)

No man can refuse the temptation of firearms and weapons.

If he does, he isn't a man.

The Anaconda Revolver was Lu Zheng's favorite handgun.

However, this item also had some disadvantages.

It was quite heavy, making it tiring to carry for long periods.

The magazine capacity was low, less than half of other handguns.

Continuous firing would lead to accuracy deviation, requiring regular maintenance.

But for Lu Zheng, none of these were issues.

He didn't need to carry it.

The Material Card had no weight; if he wanted a gun, a single thought would make a fully loaded revolver automatically appear in his hand.

Similarly, having an unlimited supply of revolvers meant an unlimited supply of bullets.

And when he ran out of bullets, he could simply switch to another gun, completely eliminating the need to consider maintenance or accuracy degradation.

A gun could fire at most six bullets; how much could its accuracy degrade?

With this Advanced Material Card, safety issues were largely resolved.

Most importantly, it gave Lu Zheng the confidence to face monsters.

Watching videos, if others could kill a monster with ordinary weapons like machetes and steel pipes, there was no reason he couldn't with an unlimited-bullet revolver.

Lu Zheng needed to obtain a crystal to acquire his ability.

Although he had the System, to gain extraordinary abilities, he would need an Extraordinary Material Card.

Zheng Jingyi could only unlock an Advanced Material Card.

Gu Lengyue, however, could unlock an Extraordinary Material Card, but she wasn't someone who would easily yield.

Lu Zheng even suspected that when faced with starving to death or losing her virginity, she would choose the former!

Making her his woman would be extremely difficult.

He wasn't some pervert; he merely offered those people a choice and wouldn't force them.

Furthermore, an Extraordinary Material Card might not even guarantee he'd gain an ability.

Relatively speaking, directly obtaining a crystal to acquire superpowers was more reliable.

While Lu Zheng was contemplating, he suddenly heard a knock on the door again.

It was already past six in the evening, and the sky had darkened. Who could be calling at this hour?

Yu Zihan looked through the peephole and immediately recoiled a few steps.

"Husband, it's a man!"

No sooner had she spoken than the person outside the door shouted:

"Lu Zheng, is my wife with you?"

"I'm telling you, don't even think about getting a free ride. She's my wife, and for every time you sleep with her, you have to give me one portion of food."

"And, my wife is still untouched; I haven't even touched her yet."

"The first time is more expensive; you have to give me at least five portions of food!"

His voice was loud, as if he was afraid Lu Zheng wouldn't hear him.

So much so that Gu Lengyue and Gu Miantang downstairs heard it clearly.

Gu Miantang was dumbfounded, looking as if her worldview had shattered.

"That voice... isn't that Professor Shao? His wife, the former campus belle of Canglan University, the beautiful editor Bai Zhihui?"

Gu Lengyue frowned and nodded.

"It's him."

"I never expected him to be so proper on the surface, yet so despicable!"

Gu Miantang was even more direct, cursing:

"How shameless!"

"To openly price and sell his own wife!"

"Is he even a man? No, is he even human!?"

She seemed very angry.

One reason was Shao Wenxuan's despicable character, resorting to selling his wife to survive.

Another reason was that Lu Zheng's behavior of taking in women was being encouraged.

She had originally thought no one would come to Lu Zheng.

As it turned out, including Bai Zhihui, this was likely the third one!

If no one had been delivered to Lu Zheng, then the two of them might still have been able to cooperate with Lu Zheng, helping him in exchange for his assistance.

But now it was impossible.

Lu Zheng had three women; he didn't lack the two of them.

To get Lu Zheng's help, the only path left was to trade their bodies.

If the two of them were unwilling to compromise, it would almost mean cutting off their only chance at survival!

No wonder she was so furious.

Gu Lengyue didn't curse in exasperation; instead, she said calmly:

"Let's rest tonight. Tomorrow, with sunlight, we must set off while our physical strength hasn't been exhausted."

"We are in Building Five. The first floor of Building Two is a small shop with many supplies. Even if someone has been there, there should still be a lot left, and we might have a chance to get some when we go there."

"Since those two women could run here, it shouldn't be a big problem for us to run there."

"At that time, we'll hold fire axes, stick to the walls, and run quickly. There's a high probability of escaping the monsters' detection."

"If we are discovered, I will stay behind to block them, and you run with all your might!"

Gu Miantang immediately said:

"No, Sister Yue, we'll escape together. I won't abandon you."

Gu Lengyue shook her head.

"Impossible. If we encounter a Scythe Mantis, both of us will most likely die. If we encounter a Scythe Mantis, I'll stay, and you might live."

"I'm your teacher, you're my student. I protect you, so listen to me!"

Hearing the emphasized tone of the last sentence, Gu Miantang couldn't help but throw herself into Gu Lengyue's arms.

"You're my sister!"

Gu Lengyue stroked Gu Miantang's head and smiled:

"Okay, I'm your sister."

"Little sister must also listen to her big sister."

The two of them clearly still refused to yield, holding onto their principles, unwilling to abandon their dignity for food.

Meanwhile, upstairs.

After hearing Shao Wenxuan's words, Lu Zheng also knew his identity.

His impression of this professor was one of aloof arrogance; usually, when they met, he would just nod, never saying a word.

Now, two more words should be added to that assessment: naive!

The person is already in my hands; if I don't give you food, what can you do about it?

Lu Zheng couldn't be bothered with Shao Wenxuan.

Bai Zhihui, however, walked out in her pajamas. She vaguely heard a familiar voice and, upon entering the living room, heard clearly.

"Lu Zheng! Give me food quickly, or I'll let my wife come out."

"My wife is so beautiful, her skin so fair, her figure so good; you definitely won't be satisfied with just one time."

"If you dare to renege, I won't let her accompany you again!"

These words made Bai Zhihui both ashamed and angry, and she shouted loudly:

"Shao Wenxuan! I'm not a toy you bought to be played with by whoever you wish!"

"I'm telling you, we have no relationship whatsoever from now on!"

"You're just a good-for-nothing."

"Lu Zheng did play with me, and he gave me happiness you couldn't!"

"What can you do? You can only yell a few curses outside the door, like a toad in a ditch, croaking a few annoying sounds, that's all."

Truly a cultured person.

Even her insults included metaphors.

The break out of Bai Zhihui stunned Lu Zheng, Yu Zihan, and Zheng Jingyi.

They never expected the gentle and shy married woman who had just arrived to have such a tough side, her words like knives, stabbing directly at the heart.

Shao Wenxuan was completely bewildered by the scolding.

Previously, Bai Zhihui had always been a virtuous and gentle perfect wife, never once getting angry, and the two of them hadn't argued in a year.

He never expected his wife to have such a side.

And the content of Bai Zhihui's words made him flush with embarrassment, feel utterly humiliated, and seethe with uncontrollable rage!
