Chapter 9: I’m Very Generous; I Never Hold Grudges Overnight

Seeing the bizarre creature trembling with fear, Chen Mu glanced at the respectful Li Xiaoxiao and nodded approvingly.

Li Xiaoxiao was perceptive; knowing this creature had offended Chen Mu, she didn’t wait for his command and promptly captured it.

Chen Mu spoke to the shivering creature, “Don’t panic. I’m a magnanimous person; I never hold grudges overnight.”

Hearing Chen Mu’s gentle tone, the creature’s anxious heart eased slightly, and it quickly flattered Chen Mu.

Yet deep down, it harbored a grudge. Though it dared not harm Chen Mu now, it planned to cause trouble for him when the opportunity arose.

Unexpectedly, Chen Mu’s next words plunged it into an ice-cold abyss.

“I never hold grudges overnight, so tonight, I’ll kill it. I want tomorrow’s world to be free of it.”

Realizing its death was certain, the creature dropped all pretenses and cursed Chen Mu fiercely.

Before it could finish, Li Xiaoxiao took it away to be eliminated.

After signing the contract and handing over the money, it was already past two in the morning.

Amid the midnight canteen staff’s farewells, Chen Mu left.

The midnight canteen was steeped in the stench of blood; Chen Mu had no intention of sleeping there and prepared to return home to rest.

The bizarre apocalypse had just begun. Apart from the eerie scenes, other places were not yet dangerous.

Although the midnight canteen was very safe, Chen Mu could not hide there forever.

He needed to use the early days of the bizarre apocalypse to quickly strengthen himself.

Spirit coins did not directly equate to power; otherwise, during the midnight canteen missions, if Chen Mu had that strength, he would have killed the bizarre guest on the spot instead of waiting for Li Xiaoxiao to capture it.

Therefore, for the next month, Chen Mu decided to use his previous memories to visit various eerie scenes to find items, enhance his power, and make contracts with powerful bizarre beings.

After leaving the midnight canteen, a cool evening breeze blew against Chen Mu, sweeping away his fatigue.

Before him lay a peaceful campus.

In the distance, the city lights shone brightly; the night was tranquil and serene.

Behind him was the blood-soaked midnight canteen.

Peace and terror separated by a mere thread.

Before most people noticed, the bizarre apocalypse was slowly descending; familiar order was gradually collapsing. Perhaps this was the calm before the storm.

At the school gate, the security office’s light was still on.

Seeing Chen Mu leave the campus, the elderly guard said, “Young man, studying so hard? In the classroom until two in the morning?”

Chen Mu smiled faintly. Studying?

His grades were not good. Before the bizarre apocalypse began, Chen Mu’s performance, though not at the bottom, was far from outstanding.

But once the bizarre apocalypse arrived, none of that mattered.

Grades and exam scores were worth less than a single spirit coin in this world.

Survival!

Survival was the foremost goal in the bizarre apocalypse.

Only after securing survival could one consider development.

“I'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
