6: Chapter 6: A Change in Mindset

"Yeah, I've been starving for three days already. If you have food, share some with us! We can even pay for it."

"Please, have pity on my child! Can you open the door?"

"Everyone has hard times, just open the door and share some food with us!"

...As expected, once one person took the lead, everyone else started clamoring!

"What should I do? Brother Cheng hasn't come back yet." Lu Yuxuan looked through the peephole and saw the hallway packed with people.

Intelligent as she was, she guessed that it must be the hotel staff; someone knew that Mu Cheng had stored a lot of supplies.

Remaining very calm, she ultimately chose to stay silent, holding the black gold dagger while cautiously staring at the door.

After a while... there was no movement.

"The soft approach isn't working, let's use force!" A man had already lost his patience... and kicked the door.

Naturally, it was completely useless.

It had to be said, the security of the presidential suite was still very high!

However, those outside were humans, not brainless zombies; if violence didn't work, they would naturally think of other ways.

"Let me!"

Sure enough, the Fat Butler had clearly come prepared, swinging an axe directly into the wall next to the door.

He clearly caused quite a bit of damage, but his cool moment didn't even last three seconds before he quickly ran out of steam!

"Let me do it!" A burly man volunteered, snatched the axe, and began smashing away.

Even if the door of the presidential suite was secure, a wall was still just a wall and could naturally be smashed down.

"What should I do? Should I lock the door to the room with the supplies?" Lu Yuxuan was very conflicted at this moment.

But she suddenly recalled Mu Cheng's instructions to protect herself first in case of danger... so she didn't enter the room with the supplies.

Instead, she moved those supplies... to block the entire door. With her body already superior to an average person's, she naturally blocked the door very quickly.

As the noise grew louder... even with the door blocked, it was still useless.

The entire wall and the presidential suite's door were smashed down by them.

"Don't come any closer, or don't blame me for being impolite!" Lu Yuxuan held the black gold dagger, warning the crowd.

"Wow! So many things."

"So much food, little girl, you're not being very fair."

"Yeah, you should share good things with us!"

...Indeed, where is the rationality in a starving person!

The burly man from before was the first to step forward, threatening her with the axe.

"You little girl, shouldn't you share all this food with us? Or are you unwilling?"

"Nice figure... how about you keep me company tonight?"

...Others even said things like that.

The other side had strength in numbers. Lu Yuxuan was, after all, just a girl in her early twenties, even if her body had been significantly strengthened through modification.

But one against a dozen people, and they were the type who were so hungry they were about to lose their minds... could she hold them off?

Being very calm, she ultimately chose to follow Mu Cheng's instructions: protect her own safety first.

She entered another room, slammed the door shut, and shouted a loud threat.

"You can take the things as you please, but if you try to touch me, I'll fight you to the death!"

"What a pity for this girl. Anyway, the food is in our hands. Everyone, take as much as you can!"

The Fat Butler was naturally infatuated with Lu Yuxuan, but he never expected her to be so stubborn.

If someone actually died... that would be a serious problem.

In the end... because they didn't know the situation outside, Lu Yuxuan narrowly escaped disaster.

About thirty minutes later... it finally became quiet outside. Lu Yuxuan was very intelligent.

It wasn't hard to guess that the food had all been taken by them.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt she had let Mu Cheng down. Finally, she just sat against the wall with her head on her knees.

At this moment, she understood many, many things. If she were just a bit stronger, the food definitely wouldn't have been stolen.

Was she so useless that she couldn't even protect food? Would she become a burden to Mu Cheng? Would she be abandoned because of this?

The more she thought, the more dejected she became, and tears began to flow unconsciously...

From the despair at the beginning to seeing hope, and then today realizing how incredibly weak she was in this world.

Anyone would likely find it hard to withstand this blow, let alone a twenty-year-old female college student!

About thirty minutes later, Mu Cheng returned to the hotel. Seeing the smashed presidential suite... he instantly understood everything.

He didn't even care about those supplies... and quickly found Lu Yuxuan, who was in a room clutching her head.

"Are you okay?"

Even though Mu Cheng had experienced great storms in his past life... he still hadn't completely lost his conscience and hardened his heart.

...Especially towards a weeping woman!

"Brother Cheng, you're finally back... You won't leave me, will you?" Lu Yuxuan began to sob.

"Alright, crying won't solve the problem. If someone stole our things, we'll just steal them back!"

Mu Cheng didn't offer comfort... instead, he used this opportunity to speak harshly.

He wanted Lu Yuxuan to understand that the world had changed; it was no longer the university greenhouse!

"Okay, let's go take them back!" Lu Yuxuan quickly pulled herself together and completely transformed into another person.

The lively and cute air of a college student was no longer visible on her face; it was replaced by a coldness so profound that even Mu Cheng felt a bit of fear.

"Follow me!" Mu Cheng didn't waste any more words and led the way.

"The fat waiter, let's start with him!" Lu Yuxuan suddenly said coldly.

That fat waiter? Mu Cheng thought it sounded familiar and quickly remembered...

It was that butler for the presidential suite.

Suddenly, he understood everything. It turned out he was the one pulling the strings behind the scenes... otherwise, in the middle of the night...

Who would know he was hoarding supplies!

Thinking of this, he felt a bit guilty, but who could have expected... that he would actually survive.

It didn't matter. Mu Cheng's strength was quite formidable now. Once you have strength, aren't supplies easy to come by?

So he didn't dwell on it too much... he treated it as a chance for Lu Yuxuan to practice and temper her mindset!

"Fine, let's go straight to him." Mu Cheng didn't care who else was in the other rooms...

They were all supply thieves anyway, so he smashed them open one by one with his Lightning Attribute Ability.

Finally, at Room 3104, he thought of the Fat Butler and that dead fat pig in the suit...

The clothes of the three service girls were a bit disheveled... and they were already slumped on the floor in exhaustion.

"I really didn't expect you to still be alive." Mu Cheng wasn't in a hurry, instead wearing a smile.

This was clearly a smile with a hidden dagger...

"You were the leader, right!" Lu Yuxuan could no longer hide her rage...

The black gold dagger in her hand suddenly pinned the Fat Butler's hand to the sofa.

Hot blood flowed out, and he screamed like a slaughtered pig, sweat covering his forehead, unable to utter a single word.

"You guys... what do you want? Do you know this is illegal entry? I'm going to sue you."

The fat pig in the suit suddenly snapped awake from his gentle dream. The first thing out of his mouth was actually an attempt to reason...

The world outside had changed. Reasoning now? When they went to steal the supplies... why didn't they consider the consequences?

Clearly, they were just a bunch of bullies who preyed on women... encountering someone like Mu Cheng, who was covered in bloodstains, they instantly cowered!

With such a big commotion, the three service girls were also terrified by the scene.

"Help! Murder!"

"Be quiet! If you don't want to die, get out of here!" Mu Cheng glared coldly and warned loudly.

The three girls were indeed frightened and quickly vanished without a trace.

Mu Cheng ignored the fat pig in the black suit and simply said,

"Continue! Vent all your anger."

"Weren't you very tough just now? What? Not a word now?" Lu Yuxuan was quite ruthless.

She pulled out the dagger again and continued to slice into his hand!

It was obvious she was extremely angry...

But the Fat Butler now, aside from screaming... couldn't say a word and soon fainted.

"You... what do you want? I'm warning you, don't come over, or I'll sue you." The fat pig in the black suit was clearly terrified...

He quickly crawled into a corner, trembling violently, while an unknown liquid appeared on the floor beneath him.

"How annoying. Let's go! Next one." Mu Cheng felt it was enough and threw a Black Flame at the fat pig in the black suit.

Quickly... the entire person turned to ash!

Someone like that was no good; if not eliminated... they might cause trouble in the future.

Of course, the main point was... to teach Lu Yuxuan a lesson: you cannot harbor kindness, and even more so, you cannot be soft-hearted!

"Murder... ed!" Lu Yuxuan was also quite frightened, her entire body shaking.

Soon, she ran out as if she had lost her soul, heading straight for the thirty-second floor...

"This little girl... it seems she still can't get over this hurdle." Mu Cheng actually understood very well.

In his past life... although he wasn't afraid of killing zombies at all, seeing a living person vanish before his eyes...

He was just like Lu Yuxuan is now, as if he had lost his soul!

Mu Cheng wasn't the type to drive someone to a dead end, but he would still give them a taste of their own medicine!

Ignoring the still-unconscious Fat Butler, he smashed open all the presidential suite doors...

Letting them also taste the danger of having their doors smashed down!

As for those supplies... Mu Cheng didn't care at all. Time was short and the task was heavy; it was better to go guide Lu Yuxuan first!

"Brother Cheng... you're back." Lu Yuxuan forced a smile, as if nothing had happened.

"This girl... she got over it that fast? Whatever, let's get cleaned up first." Mu Cheng also felt quite surprised.

Sure enough... she hadn't gotten over it. Lu Yuxuan fell back into deep thought, her whole being lifeless, looking like a walking corpse.

"Are you... really okay?" After asking simply and getting no reaction from Lu Yuxuan, he went out and brought back five or six large bottles of mineral water.

He washed his entire body clean...

"Alright, cry if you want to. It's not embarrassing." Mu Cheng gently held Lu Yuxuan and placed her on the large bed.

"Brother Cheng... please don't leave me, okay? I want to be with you forever, please don't leave me!"

At this moment, Lu Yuxuan suddenly... hugged Mu Cheng tightly, her tears flowing unconsciously.

Mu Cheng's heart jolted and became very complex. He didn't know how to answer at all, so he could only say comfortingly,

"Don't worry! We'll definitely be fine."
