12: Chapter 12 Little Fat Sheep...

"System, that's not what you said before! Wasn't it ninety-five favorability? Why is ninety enough now?"

Hearing the system's notification, Lin Zhou was puzzled.

[At ninety-five favorability, the probability of successful conquest is one hundred percent. At ninety favorability, the probability of successful conquest is ninety percent. The system has detected that Jiang Wanxing has completely fallen for the host; a conquest attempt now will likely succeed.]

The system answered solemnly.

"System, is this true?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhou became excited, his whole body buzzing with excitement.

[The system will not deceive the host!]

The system answered again.

Hearing this, Lin Zhou took a deep breath, calming his turbulent emotions.

Even if he were to eat meat, he had to find a safe time. The second wave had already ended; who knew if there would be a third?

Without thinking further, he turned and walked toward the side door, where Jiang Wanxing and Professor Su Qinghan were cleaning up the remaining few Rotten Claw Monsters.

Seeing him approach, Jiang Wanxing immediately put away her dagger, ran to his side, and naturally hugged his arm, her tone tinged with a hint of coquetry:

"Lin Zhou, was I very impressive just now?"

Her cheeks were flushed, sweat beaded on the tip of her nose, and the collar of her armor was slightly open, revealing a bit of fair skin.

This scene made Lin Zhou's heart flutter.

Especially when thinking about what the system said about being able to "conquer," he couldn't help but reach out, his fingertips gently wiping away a speck of black blood from Jiang Wanxing's cheek.

"Mm, very impressive. Our school beauty Jiang is indeed worthy of being a speed talent owner. Just try to focus more in the future; you can't be like you were this time."

The warm touch of his fingertips on her cheek made Jiang Wanxing freeze instantly.

Her heart was beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest, and she even forgot to breathe.

Her eyes were filled with shyness, she dared not look directly into Lin Zhou's eyes, and her cheeks were burning hot.

This was the first time she had been touched by a boy, and the gesture was so gentle.

That wasn't the point; the point was that Lin Zhou was the person she liked, which made her truly shy.

"I... I know, I won't do it again."

Jiang Wanxing whispered shyly.

[Detected physical contact between the host and Jiang Wanxing. Jiang Wanxing is extremely shy. Favorability +5. Current favorability: 95!]

Hiss... It's ninety-five! Now it's really time to "conquer"!

Especially looking at Jiang Wanxing's shy appearance, his heart could no longer remain calm.

Right now, as long as he had a little safe time, he would eat meat. Only an idiot wouldn't eat when there was meat available.

Just then, Professor Su Qinghan walked up to the two of them.

Seeing Jiang Wanxing's flushed cheeks, a hint of a smile flashed in her eyes, but she didn't point it out.

She just said: "The Strange Monsters have been cleared, but looking at the density of the blood mist, I'm afraid it won't be long before the next wave arrives."

Hearing Professor Su Qinghan's words brought Lin Zhou back to his senses.

He looked up at the sky; the blood mist was thicker than before.

Scarlet lightning darted through the clouds, and the smell of blood in the air was growing stronger.

Clearly, there would likely be a third wave.

This is fucking bullshit!

They said one wave, but now there are three, and who knows if there will be a fourth or fifth wave later.

Because of this, the idea of eating meat had to be put on hold for now.

"Let's go back to the Villa first and rest; you've all worked hard." Lin Zhou didn't think further and said.

The three women nodded and followed him into the Villa.

Closing the door, the warmth inside the Villa was in stark contrast to the cold outside.

Jiang Wanxing and Qin Lan were the first to take off their armor, revealing the clothes underneath.

Jiang Wanxing's white dress had long been soaked by sweat and blood, clinging tightly to her body and outlining her graceful curves.

Qin Lan's camouflage uniform was also soaked through, outlining her firm figure, full of a sense of power.

Professor Su Qinghan's white lab coat was alright, just covered in a bit of dust.

She walked over to the sofa and sat down, rubbing her temples; summoning Ice Spikes earlier had consumed quite a bit of her mental energy.

"There is hot water in the Villa, so go to your rooms and take a shower, and change into clean clothes. There are new clothes in the storage room downstairs, in all sizes."

"I don't know when this third wave will come, and we can't just wait around like this. When it's time to rest, we must rest. If there's a situation, I'll call you."

Seeing the disheveled women, Lin Zhou said slowly.

The three women nodded upon hearing this.

"Wanxing, why aren't you going to shower?"

Seeing that Professor Su Qinghan and Qin Lan had both gone to shower, but Jiang Wanxing had not, he found it a bit strange.

"I don't think this third wave of Strange Monsters will arrive that quickly. Lin Zhou, why don't... why don't we go wash together? Look, you're very dirty too..."

Jiang Wanxing watched the two women walk into their rooms, then quickly raised her flushed, pretty face and stared at Lin Zhou as she spoke.

Hiss... This fucking... The lust he had just managed to suppress was instantly ignited by Jiang Wanxing's words.

"You... don't misunderstand! My back is just a little dirty, I can't reach it, and I wanted... wanted you to help me scrub it..."

Facing Lin Zhou's scorching gaze, Jiang Wanxing shyly lowered her head.

Her hands were tightly clasped together, and she was extremely nervous inside.

This was the first time she had ever invited a boy, and it was an invitation to take a shower, no less.

For a reserved school beauty like her, when had she ever said such a thing?

But she didn't know what was happening; regardless, whenever she saw Lin Zhou, she just wanted to tie him firmly to her side.

It was as if their past life as lovers had no results, and in this life, she had to seize Lin Zhou.

Even though they had known each other for less than a day, her mind was filled with scenes of Lin Zhou being heroic, handsome, and possessing such excellent talents.

Her heart was already filled with Lin Zhou's image.

It could be said that she could no longer forget Lin Zhou.

And... this feeling was deeper than something carved into her bones.

It was precisely because of this feeling in her heart that she had let go of herself and made such a decision.

In this apocalyptic world, they didn't know if they could survive.

Their current thinking was just to live one day at a time.

So... there was no extra time for her to continue maintaining her reserve at a slow pace.

In the past, she was a high-and-mighty school beauty in the eyes of others.

But now, in front of Lin Zhou, she was just a crazy pursuer.

If Lin Zhou didn't speak, she would take the initiative.

So, she didn't want to miss this opportunity right now.

"Help you scrub your back?"

Hearing this "very reasonable" excuse, Lin Zhou almost laughed out loud.

Having a grown man like him scrub the back of a school beauty like Jiang Wanxing—wasn't she just purely tempting him?

Besides, in such a scenario, any normal man wouldn't be able to resist.

Could this be the effect brought about by favorability?

Otherwise, they had known each other for less than a day; how could the cold and aloof school beauty in everyone else's eyes make such a bold decision?

"Time is tight, Lin Zhou... I... I'll be waiting for you in the bathroom..."

Extremely nervous, Jiang Wanxing said this coyly, then trotted all the way toward the bathroom.

This made Lin Zhou's heart tighten suddenly.

A little lamb that delivered itself to the door—how could he not eat it?

The cold and aloof school beauty in everyone else's eyes, an unattainable existence.

Today... I will take her for you all...

Lin Zhou smirked, then followed closely behind...
