My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

【Respecting your employees is respecting yourself!】
【A perfect life requires being a perfect chairman. A good chairman wouldn’t illegally imprison employees. Doing so might get you hung up on a lamppost!】
【Work tirelessly but don’t kill—employees are part of the company, so don’t abuse them.】

“…”

Meng Xu led employee Li Xiang downstairs.

The golden line of text appeared before his eyes, leaving him somewhat helpless.

Meng Xu sighed, “I want to treat my employees well, but they keep inexplicably attacking passersby and ruining my company’s image. Can’t you do something about that?”

With Meng Xu’s words, the system prompts instantly disappeared.

【Regulating employee behavior is the duty of a corporate boss. A perfect life requires a perfect public image!】

【Unlocked Hidden Achievement: Generous Boss.】
【Achievement reward: Yuan +5000, Chairman Career Experience +5.】

Meng Xu’s eyes lit up.

Wow, wow, wow, so talking can trigger achievements? This is both surprising and delightful!

Unexpectedly gaining this reward, another line of golden text appeared before him.

【This friend-making endeavor was a complete disaster! Most people see you with fear, awe, and hatred rather than kindness, harmony, etc. My goodness! Even a hero needs companions. A beautiful life requires good interpersonal relationships! Host, you’ve disappointed me!】

Seeing this, Meng Xu initially thought he had failed the task. However, another line of golden text quickly followed.

【But unexpectedly, everyone has become your friend, even Li Xiang, who had an affection level of -100, is willing to become your employee… Humans are indeed strange creatures; human nature is truly worth studying in depth.】

【Task Rating: Incomprehensible. Task Rewards: Allocatable Career Experience +10, Allocatable Attribute Points +2, Points +8.】

Seeing the task rewards, Meng Xu’s eyes lit up immediately.

Great, great, great. I thought the mission had failed, but it succeeded spectacularly.

My friends, it seems that acting crazy really works!

After seeing Li Xiang, Meng Xu had almost given up, especially since the sight of those two corpses had indeed ignited his killing intent.

But now it seems that while he was pretending to be crazy, this system is genuinely crazy.

Although some of his actions and words seemed quite abnormal, his thought process was at least normal.

This system, however, was truly abnormal.

Might as well rename it to the ‘Crazy System.’

“Allocate points, all to strength!”

Meng Xu added the points without hesitation.

He wanted to become a muscle-bound giant!

【Points allocation successful. Current Strength: 19 points.】
【Note from the system: You are nearing the human strength limit of 20 points. There are very few humans on Earth stronger than you. To continue improving, you need to raise Spirit, Constitution, and Agility to 20 points and then complete an occupation breakthrough task to gain super enhancement points, allowing you to surpass 21 points.】

Meng Xu frowned at this: “What do you mean there’s a cap and I need a breakthrough task to surpass it? You’re lacking Deep Blue!”

There might not be humans stronger than me, but surely there are animals!

I don’t think I can withstand a nuclear blast with my bare body!

This Deep Blue system is flawed; I’m giving it a bad review!

【Dear host, please focus on important tasks—enjoy life, make money, and have encounters. Don’t get obsessed with attributes! In today’s peaceful times, improving attributes doesn’t greatly help a perfect life! You should be making money, buying houses, and finding girls! Your company is in debt, life is bitter, and you haven’t had an encounter yet. Don’t tell me you like boys!】

Back to talking about peace again, huh?

I like the cross-dressing guy next door to your mom!

Stupid system, get lost!

Meng Xu sighed deeply. Fine, next time he would allocate points to other attributes.

He also realized that ever since the Perfect Life System appeared, his use of profanity had increased.

Damn it. He used to be a cultured, sunny, and amiable young man!

But there was no choice. After all, the world had changed, and he had to make some concessions to adapt to the Perfect Life System.

Just as Meng Xu was ready to get back to business, he caught a glimpse of a line of text out of the corner of his eye.

【Chance Encounter: Within the next 24 hours, you will experience a romantic encounter.】

“Oh, a BUFF boost.”

Meng Xu chuckled, not taking it seriously.

A woman?

Get lost! I have grand ambitions to achieve. If any dare to come, I’ll punch them until they cry!

Of course, this excludes women who can become valuable employees and create value for me.

Meng Xu stretched lazily and looked around, spotting a snack cart. Interested, he approached and tried to push it—it moved easily.

“Excellent.”

Meng Xu was pleased. He tied the rope around the snack cart, planning to push it around and sell snacks on the street.

He was a legitimate Snack Vendor now!

“Oh right, I haven’t used the Caree Recommendation Letter yet!”

Meng Xu smacked his forehead, remembering the letter. He quickly used it.

【Usage successful. You have acquired a new part-time job: Snack Vendor!】

【Snack Vendor: Food is the essence of life. A snack cart brings smiles to children’s faces, and joy to the public, and can make an excellent snack vendor incredibly wealthy! The road to becoming the world’s richest starts with being a snack vendor!】

Humorous system.

So handing out leaflets and running a snack cart can make me the richest man, huh?

Meng Xu was too exhausted to complain and just wanted to see the next tasks.

After all, based on the usual recommendation letters, he would be given three task options, one to complete each day, refreshed weekly.

By completing these tasks, Meng Xu could accumulate points, cash, and experience.

These days, that’s the only way to make some money.

【Through the recommendation letter, you have acquired the ‘Snack Vendor’ exclusive occupation tasks. Please choose one of the following tasks:】

【Sell fried sausages, price: 2 yuan each. Task Rewards: Career Experience +3, Yuan +10,000, Points +2. (0/200)】
【Sell fried chicken strips, price: 2 yuan each. Task Rewards: Career Experience +2, Yuan +50,000, Points +2. (0/200)】
【Sell fried chicken cutlets, price: 10 yuan each. Task Rewards: Career Experience +5, Yuan +100,000, Points +5. (0/300)】

【Note: Each person can buy a maximum of five servings. Exceeding five servings will be considered invalid.】

“Hiss~”

Seeing the rewards for the Snack Vendor tasks, Meng Xu took a deep breath.

Are they offering this much money?

Selling 300 fried chicken cutlets gets me 100,000 yuan?

Isn’t that an exorbitant profit?!

Damn apocalypse, you’ve ruined my dream of becoming the richest man!

Meng Xu gritted his teeth but quickly realized a problem.

There are no raw materials!

“Forget it. I’ll take the task first.”

Without hesitation, Meng Xu chose the fried chicken cutlet task.

What if he couldn’t complete the task?

If it can’t be completed, then so be it. There are no task penalties anyway.

With the acceptance of the task, Meng Xu suddenly felt the snack cart become heavier.

“Huh?”

Startled, Meng Xu opened the storage compartment below and found bags upon bags of frozen chicken cutlets.

Meng Xu: ???

So they provide the raw materials?!

【Please note, these materials are only for snack cart sales and will incur a 900 yuan deduction from the host’s funds. Materials cannot be given away for free and must be used within one day. After one day, the materials will be reclaimed.】

So it’s not for free.

With a sigh, Meng Xu pushed the snack cart and prepared to hit the road without hesitation.

The apocalypse?

It doesn’t stop me from selling fried chicken cutlets!

Wait, what about those people back inside…

Suddenly, Meng Xu remembered something.

【Repeated sales to the same customer within one day do not count towards the sales quota. The host must find new customers!】

Meng Xu: ……

Taking a deep breath, Meng Xu pushed the cart, putting on a bright and cheerful smile:

“Zombie friends, zombie friends! Good news, delicious fried chicken cutlets are here! If you have money, come buy them. If you’re broke, get lost!”
