My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

“Singing a song about springtime by the willow trees in February, grass growing slowly in March…”

Humming a tune, Meng Xu parked his bike in a small alley near the Citizen Service Center.

Though his Spirit attribute was high, Meng Xu wasn’t foolish.

Entering through the main gate would likely trigger a zombie horde.

Of course, it didn’t matter much to Meng Xu—he knew he could escape.

But he needed to get to the Citizen Service Center to handle his business. He couldn’t let zombies disrupt his grand entrepreneurial plans!

Meng Xu felt a surge of excitement and anticipation.

As soon as he set foot in the Citizen Service Center and got everything done, he would be the first big boss in three generations of the Meng family!

And he’d already have two subsidiaries!

Thinking of this, Meng Xu felt very pleased. He was just about to jump the wall to enter the Citizen Service Center when a line of golden text flashed before his eyes.

【Did you hear? Jiang Xiaoqiu, the granddaughter of the head of the Jiang family in Nanjiang Province, secretly visited Heqing City today. She intends to acquire Ronghua Tech, Haoda Real Estate, and Wanxiang International to establish a new business group in Heqing City, resisting familial marriage alliances. Her first stop is the Citizen Service Center to start her venture, but it seems she’s in some trouble… A beautiful life is naturally less lonely with a confidante. A beloved confidante from a powerful family can significantly ease many obstacles in life~】
【Triggered Task: Hero Saves A Beauty】
【Task Rewards: Points +1, Allocatable Career Experience +1, Freely Allocatable Attribute Point +1, Gain a Beloved Confidante.】
【Note: This task is triggered by the ‘Encounter Buff.’ The host is encouraged to thoroughly enjoy it.】

Meng Xu: ?

What the heck?

Meng Xu felt as though he had heard something unrealistic, something that didn’t belong in the real world.

“Did I hear that right? Jiang Xiaoqiu, the granddaughter of the Jiang family head?”

Meng Xu found the name rather peculiar.

Not because it was particularly famous, but because…

Are we in a web novel or something?

The head of the Jiang family?

Is this Bodyguard of the School Beauty, or Rebirth of the Battle Emperor in the City?

Or maybe one of those ridiculous Perfect Life System novels?

Wait, hold on.

It seems my system is the Perfect Life System.

Never mind then.

However, Meng Xu had never heard of the name Jiang Xiaoqiu or the Jiang family. With this in mind, Meng Xu decided to use the most basic method available.

He squatted down in a hidden spot and started refreshing his phone signal, intending to search.

What else could he do?

He didn’t have any connections.

Jiang Xiaoqiu yielded no results, but the Jiang family of Nanjiang did exist.

Runjiang Group.

Specializing in the production of medical devices, sales of chemical products, and tire manufacturing—a family business, it seemed.

With registered capital in the billions, it was likely a significant corporation.

But it probably wasn’t as impressive as novelists might describe.

From what the system insinuated, Meng Xu thought he might be encountering some immortal cultivation family or the richest family in Nanjiang.

“Huff~”

After his research, Meng Xu was in no rush. He casually checked the map of the Citizen Service Center.

“The signal is terrible! When my company is up and running, I’ll hire a ton of related professionals to fix my signal issues!”

Meng Xu thought angrily.

As for the so-called ‘Hero Saves A Beauty’ mission?

Ridiculous, it’s been days! Does anyone really think that Jiang Xiaoqiu, or whatever her name is, would still be alive? She’s likely already turned into a zombie.

He’d storm in, slap a few surrounding zombies, and break her leg to complete the task—after all, it had been a while since he last saw a freely allocatable attribute point.

With that attribute point, Meng Xu was determined to push his strength to 20, reaching the human limit!

“Let’s see how extreme the human limit can be!”

Thinking this, Meng Xu felt a surge of excitement.

As for Jiang Xiaoqiu?

Just another useless zombie—punch her away and let her roll far!

Even if she were the granddaughter of Runjiang Group’s chairman, she’s just a slightly wealthy zombie. Meng Xu used to despise those with a bit of money the most!

Not anymore.

Because he had become what he used to detest.

It was quite an intriguing feeling, hehe.

Taking a deep breath, Meng Xu straightened his clothes and took a look around. Spotting a high wall, he expertly climbed over it and landed in the courtyard.

The courtyard was very quiet, looking quite serene.

Understandable, given the apocalypse struck outside of business hours. At most, people might have been lining up outside… However, Meng Xu noticed a lot of broken glass near the building, indicating something might have fallen out from inside, or perhaps someone—or something—climbed in.

Of course, Meng Xu was more inclined to believe someone had fallen from inside, given that he saw some bloodstains around.

Meng Xu looked disdainful: “These zombies’ standards are truly inconsistent. Some are quality zombies—quiet and trouble-free—while others are just awful, dirtying up the place without cleaning.”

Even among zombies, there are differences!

Meng Xu took a deep breath, scanned his surroundings, and found a window. He tried to push it open but failed. Sighing, he used his universal key to unlock the window.

And by universal key?

He meant a wrench.

With a hard smash against the glass and the sound of shattering, the window was open.

Perfect.

The glass broke and scattered everywhere.

Without any pretense, Meng Xu jumped through the window into the building.

The Citizen Service Center was very well-decorated.

Upon entering, Meng Xu noticed a restroom directly opposite. After a moment’s thought, he decided to use it.

He had to admit, that the restroom in the Citizen Service Center was clean and bright, much better than the one in his company.

After relieving himself comfortably, Meng Xu began making his way to the Comprehensive Service Hall to handle his formalities, relying on his internal map.

From his experiences at the Bureau of Commerce and the bank, he knew he didn’t need a guide—he could manage on his own.

As for encountering someone named Jiang Xiaoqiu?

She could wait until after he finished his formalities!

The top priority now was getting his paperwork done!

With this in mind, Meng Xu cautiously moved forward, staying vigilant.

Although his strength was already at the human peak, he still needed to be wary of any potential ambush.

Those old schemers could be excessively crafty, so caution was necessary.
The hall was brightly lit, with several potted plants, though many were broken, and the floor was stained with blood. In the center of the main entrance stood a large revolving door, with a zombie trapped inside. Upon seeing Meng Xu, it began growling but was immobilized by the door.

It was evident that some conflict had occurred here.

But whatever conflict had happened, it didn’t concern him.

Scanning the area, he quickly spotted a sign.

Peeking inside, he found only one corpse of a zombie, already decomposed and emitting a foul odor.

Excitedly, he exclaimed: “Great! Time to handle the paperwork!”
