20: Chapter 20 Favorability Rating: 85

"Ah?" Upon hearing this, Su Waner exclaimed, looking at Lin Zhou with a slightly flushed face.

This... this guy... he wouldn't be a bad person, would he? Is he really that impatient?

"This Villa has my restrictions. You can't get in unless you hold onto me," Lin Zhou immediately explained.

"Oh, oh..." Hearing this, Su Waner breathed a sigh of relief.

Being able to withstand attacks from Strange Monsters, this Villa was definitely extraordinary. With that explanation, it made sense. So, she had misunderstood.

Su Waner, blushing, slowly walked up to him. She had never had such intimate contact with a member of the opposite sex, let alone taken the initiative to hug a man.

But under the circumstances, she couldn't worry about anything else. Taking a deep breath, she slowly reached out, her face flushed, and hugged Lin Zhou's strong and powerful waist.

Feeling the charming masculine scent radiating from Lin Zhou, her heart raced even faster, and her face turned even redder.

"Hold tight!" Lin Zhou grinned, then casually wrapped his arm around her waist, turned, and dashed toward the Villa.

Su Waner, caught by his arm, stiffened, her cheeks instantly turning red to the tips of her ears. Her hands subconsciously tightened, her fingertips touching his firm muscles, and her heartbeat accelerated sharply.

Soon, they entered the Villa. The moment the door closed, Su Waner finally came to her senses.

She quickly let go of Lin Zhou's arm, lowered her head, and twisted her lab coat with both hands, her cheeks so red they could drip blood: "Brother Lin Zhou, th... thank you!"

Her voice was soft and sweet, making one's heart soften upon hearing it. Lin Zhou looked at her, a faint smile curling on his lips: "No need to thank me. Since you're here, you're one of us from now on."

[Detected female survivor Su Waner entering the Villa. Sign permanent protection contract?]

[Su Waner's Information Panel:] [Name: Su Waner, Age: 19.]

[Talent]: Rank A [Great Physician Ling Ran] (Can quickly heal injuries and restore mental energy, can refine primary healing potions, and has a certain inhibitory effect on Strange Monsters' toxins.)

[Appearance]: 98 points (Gentle Medical Immortal, Fortunes Blessing bonus increased to 100%! Unlocked exclusive Fortune buff: Injury recovery speed for everyone in the Villa increased by 100%, mental energy recovery speed increased by 100%!)

[Abilities]: Top student at Hangzhou Medical University, proficient in both Chinese and Western medicine, can identify Strange Monsters' toxins, and develop anti-toxin potions!

"Holy crap! Awesome! The attribute bonuses are completely maxed out!" Seeing Su Waner's attribute panel, he was truly stunned in amazement.

A goddess with 98 points in appearance can directly max out attribute points? Doesn't that mean the base fortune coins generated every day will be even higher? And the probability of surviving in the future will be even greater?

Thinking about surviving in this apocalypse with a group of goddesses, doing whatever he wanted, he felt a wave of comfort in his heart.

This... this is a man's dream! To be precise, you couldn't even dream of something this satisfying!

"Is there any need to hesitate? Of course, I'm signing it!" Lin Zhou immediately said.

[Permanent protection contract signed successfully!]

[Su Waner has become an exclusive survivor of the Villa, bound by the System's mandatory constraints. She cannot harbor any hostility toward the host; violators will be immediately erased!]

[Fortunes Blessing quadruple buff activated! Due to Su Waner's 98-point Gentle Medical Immortal aptitude, daily base fortune coin production increased by 100%. Exclusive Fortune buff unlocked: Injury recovery speed for everyone in the Villa increased by 100%, mental energy recovery speed increased by 100%!]

[Gathering of Beauties Harmony buff newly upgraded! The host can share Su Waner's Rank A talent [Great Physician Ling Ran], current shared effect is 30%!]

[Detected that the host is protecting four female survivors. Triggered [Four Beauties' Companionship] ambiguous effect. Favorability toward the host for Jiang Wanxing, Professor Su Qinghan, Qin Lan, and Su Waner each +10. Current favorability: Jiang Wanxing 100, Professor Su Qinghan 85, Qin Lan 75, Su Waner 20!]

[Congratulations to the host for protecting 4 female survivors. Unlocked Villa achievement [Four Beauties in Arms], rewarded 5000 fortune coins, unlocked Villa Primary Pharmacy, host's overall attributes permanently increased by 25%!]

A series of System prompts exploded in his mind, and his heart was excited to the extreme. As expected, goddesses are the best!

The next second, he immediately felt a warm current surging through his body, and his overall attributes increased again. The sense of power throughout his body and the lightness made him feel great.

He could clearly feel that his strength and speed had increased significantly. Even if he really had to face a Tier 3 Monster, he wouldn't be afraid. Of course, his goal was to win while lying down. Let these goddesses do the dirty and tiring work!

Although it felt a bit shameless, it... it felt great! If he stepped in at the most critical moment, wouldn't his favorability shoot up?

His goal wasn't to lead the goddesses to survive, but to gain favorability from them and let them carry him to victory so he could survive.

Imagine, others are struggling for their lives in the apocalypse, while he is lying here with so many goddesses around, serving him every day. Changing the one calling out to him every day, how could that not be satisfying?

Jiang Wanxing stepped forward first, took Su Waner's hand, and smiled sweetly: "Little sister Waner, we're family from now on. My name is Jiang Wanxing. I'm just like you, but I was the first to enter the Villa. And I can tell you clearly, your choice is correct. Lin Zhou, he is really great!"

Hearing this, Su Waner subconsciously looked at Jiang Wanxing, her beautiful eyes filled with some surprise. After all, Jiang Wanxing's appearance was not low at all. Seeing her praise Lin Zhou so much, she subconsciously glanced at Lin Zhou.

Recalling the scene of being held by the waist by Lin Zhou just now, her face flushed slightly. "Brother Lin Zhou... is indeed very good!" Su Waner agreed in a low voice.

After all, her favorability was already at twenty; no matter what, she couldn't possibly have thoughts of hating him anymore. Unless he did something at this moment that disgusted her, which would lower her favorability. Otherwise, as long as he just stood there without saying anything, it was impossible for her to develop any resentment toward him.

Professor Su Qinghan also walked over and handed her a cup of warm water: "I am Professor Su Qinghan, a professor in the Department of Biology at Hangzhou University, specializing in the analysis of Strange Monsters' weaknesses. If you don't understand anything in the future, you can ask me. At the same time, I am the second person to enter the Villa. What Wanxing just said is absolutely correct. The owner of our Villa, Lin Zhou, is indeed a very good person!"

After speaking, Professor Su Qinghan cast a glance at Lin Zhou with her beautiful eyes, her gaze filled with deep shyness. After all, her favorability had already been grinded up to eighty-five; she wasn't far from being taken. So, at this moment, Professor Su Qinghan could be said to be feeling love-struck! Since she was love-struck, she would definitely praise him! It seems that today, he might get to eat the professor's braised pork...
