Volume One, Chapter 31: Want to Die? Then Rest in Peace.

Surely he could not leave the Sexy Little Wildcat cooped up in her shelter forever.

Unless he became a hopeless simp and supported her.

Otherwise, she would never survive.

But was Lin Yifan a simp?

Of course not.

So he simply played dumb and sent her a dry message:

“Don’t worry so much. They say that those who survive a great disaster are bound to enjoy good fortune afterward. Since you managed to escape this calamity, things will surely turn around for you. You definitely won’t run into him again.”

“But I’m still so scared!” That was not the answer the Sexy Little Wildcat wanted.

Her eyes darted about as she deliberately sent him a coquettish message:

“Brother Yifan, I’m delicate and soft, the sort of girl who could be pushed over with one finger. Escaping this disaster must have used up all my luck.”

“You have no idea. This afternoon, I worked up the courage to go out and search for supplies despite the danger, but I didn’t find anything at all.”

“Now I’m starving, yet I don’t have a scrap of food. My shelter still hasn’t reached Level Two, and it’s growing more dilapidated by the minute. Whenever the wind blows, the whole thing sways precariously, as though it might collapse at any moment.”

“I really don’t know how I’m supposed to go on living! It’s so hard! It’s truly unbearable!”

“Brother Yifan, I actually came to say goodbye. This world really isn’t suited to me. Every second I spend here is torture. That’s why I was planning to end my life this afternoon!”

“But I wanted to say goodbye to you, Brother, so I forced myself to hold on until now. Now that I’ve said my farewell, I’m leaving! Please take care of yourself! Farewell forever!”

Lin Yifan stared at the melodramatic performance sent by the Sexy Little Wildcat, the corner of his mouth twitching uncontrollably.

If it had been someone else, he might actually have worried a little.

But would the Sexy Little Wildcat really give up?

Absolutely not.

As for why Lin Yifan was so certain, it was because a list of names was constantly appearing on the light screen before him.

The list contained the names of everyone in District 10086 who had upgraded their shelter to Level Two.

As the first person in the entire district to upgrade to a Level Two shelter, Lin Yifan had gained the minor privilege of viewing the names of everyone in District 10086 who had reached Level Two.

He had never paid attention to it before. Only moments ago had he discovered that being the first person in the district came with such a privilege.

Although the ability was not particularly useful, it did give him a general idea of who belonged to the district’s top echelon.

If he wanted to build a team of his own, this privilege would indeed be quite useful.

But he had already made up his mind to walk the path of a lone wolf. To him, this privilege was therefore utterly worthless.

And the Sexy Little Wildcat’s name appeared prominently on the list.

The entire list contained only four or five thousand names at most.

Compared with the current population of the district, that was a ratio of roughly one in twenty.

A woman who had made it into the top echelon could not possibly be harmless.

Either she possessed deeply hidden strength, or she had exceptional methods and could coax hordes of simps into risking their lives for her.

In an age of peace, such methods would certainly have been condemned and regarded as beneath notice.

But in this world of survival, where one’s life could be lost at any moment, any method that allowed someone to stay alive counted as strength.

The reason the Sexy Little Wildcat had put on this little act with Lin Yifan was simply that she viewed him as a fish in her pond and wanted to exploit his sympathy for a few benefits.

Lin Yifan did not look down on her methods, but that was on the condition that she did not use them on him.

Now that she had tried them on him, he was not going to be courteous. He replied bluntly:

“Then have a safe journey. I won’t see you off.”

At that moment, the “Sexy Little Wildcat” was sitting beside a bonfire, chewing on the steamed bun sent by Simp Number One, drinking the hot water sent by Simp Number Two, and spreading the wild-fruit jam supplied by Simp Number Three over it.

She was feeling utterly triumphant.

The number of simps she currently possessed had already reached 107.

Lin Yifan was the 108th simp she had selected. Since 108 was the Sexy Little Wildcat’s lucky number, she had decided to assign that number to this powerful man.

She had always been extremely confident in her ability to flirt with men, so it had never occurred to her that Lin Yifan might not fall for her usual tricks.

When she saw the message Lin Yifan had sent her, she was completely dumbfounded.

She had already planned to ask him for meat once she had him wrapped around her finger.

Instead, she had been slapped across the face so hard that it rang.

But how could she possibly give up just like that?

The Sexy Little Wildcat immediately rallied herself and prepared for another round of playing the victim.

However, after painstakingly composing a long message and sending it to Lin Yifan, she suddenly discovered that she had been blocked!

That was right. After sending her the words “Have a safe journey,” Lin Yifan had blocked her outright.

He had no time to argue with a woman who was clearly a master of juggling multiple men.

Nor did he care how devastating his swift and decisive move had been to the Sexy Little Wildcat.

At that moment, he was drinking hot water while crafting Strong Insecticide.

Only two days remained before the mosquito swarm erupted. He had to craft as much Strong Mosquito Repellent as possible in the shortest time in order to reap the greatest profits.

After working for a full half hour, Lin Yifan had already placed more than fifty medicinal sticks in front of him.

And that had consumed only one-tenth of his medicinal materials.

But for the time being, Lin Yifan no longer wanted to continue crafting. He directly listed the Strong Mosquito Repellent on the auction house in exchange for basic supplies.

Most importantly, he needed Basic Pig Iron, which was currently in shortest supply.

Thus, his batch of Strong Mosquito Repellent was primarily intended to be exchanged for Basic Pig Iron.

Some of it, however, was meant to be traded for the Level Three Shelter blueprint. Earlier, he had not been in any hurry to upgrade his shelter.

But after seeing the list, he could no longer afford to wait.

Since being the first person to upgrade to a Level Two shelter had granted him the privilege of viewing the list, if someone else upgraded to Level Three first, that privilege would belong to them instead.

He did not want to expose himself to someone else’s scrutiny, so the best course of action was to take the lead and upgrade to a Level Three shelter first.

That way, he would not only retain the privilege of viewing the list but might even receive an additional reward.

Upgrading from Level One to Level Two had rewarded him with a Green Treasure Chest. The reward for advancing from Level Two to Level Three would certainly be a tier above a Green Treasure Chest.

The Blue Treasure Chest he had opened earlier had already given Lin Yifan a taste of its benefits.

Therefore, he had to upgrade his shelter to Level Three that very night.

Worried that no one would notice the items he had listed, he prepared to visit the chat channel and advertise his offer.

However, the moment he opened the chat channel, one particular message left him utterly bewildered.
