My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

The hall was vast and empty.

It was also incredibly quiet, with the only sound being the soft scratching of a pen as if someone were filling out forms, producing the subtle friction of paper and pen.

Occasionally, the sound of paper being crumpled and thrown away could be heard.

Meng Xu was quite audacious, taking advantage of the abundant forms available. If he made a mistake, he would simply rip it up and start over, thoroughly enjoying himself.

No matter which department, there was a corresponding window here. Meng Xu felt like he was on vacation, moving through the process with ease.

In one go, Meng Xu completed all the necessary steps.

After finishing the last step, a golden line of tex suddenly appeared before his eyes.

【Registration completed! Rewards: Allocatable Career Experience +20, Allocatable Attribute Points +2, Allocatable Skill Points +2, Yuan +300,000.】
【Congratulations! You have completed the registration! Now, you own a legitimate company and a chairman of a legitimate business! I cheer for you, I applaud you!】

Seeing this, Meng Xu furrowed his brows.

He looked quite dissatisfied.

“What’s the meaning of this? Before, I completed two steps and got 20 experience points, 2 attribute points, and 2 skill points. Now, I did all five steps, but still got the same? The only difference is the additional 300,000 yuan?!”

Meng Xu was very displeased.

He felt like he had been shortchanged on attribute points.

Had he known, he might have gone to each department individually. How many more rewards could he have earned that way?

Resentful.

Meng Xu, though irritated and resigned, knew there was nothing more to say.

After all, he had taken a shortcut.

No one to blame but the system.

“If I had an apocalypse-slaying system, I would have conquered the world by now. No need for all this timidity?”

Meng Xu grumbled internally, although his idea of ‘timidity’ clearly differed from others’.

“Deep Blue, allocate points!”

Without any hesitation, Meng Xu began allocating points: “Strength +1, then… Constitution +1!”

【Points successfully allocated.】
【Current Attributes: Spirit·10.5, Constitution·13.5, Strength·20 (reached current limit), Agility·12.5】

“Sigh.”

Meng Xu took a deep breath. Reaching the human limit through working was no big deal, it seemed.

However, his experience points had accumulated to 43!

“Allocate 30 points to Chairman, save the remaining 13 points.”

Without a second thought, Meng Xu made his decision.

Experience points could level up all occupations except ‘Leaflet Distributor,’ but Meng Xu was most eager to see what a Level 1 Chairman would be like.

After all, upgrading the Chairman occupation from Level 0 to Level 1 required 50 experience points—the same as leveling up the Leaflet Distributor from Level 4 to Level 5!

The Chairman occupation had to be more powerful!

He couldn’t wait to see the enhanced effects.

【Upgrade successful. Your occupation ‘Chairman’ has been upgraded from Level 0 to Level 1.】
【Being a Chairman requires superior leadership skills and finding ways to make employees generate value for you. Therefore, Chairmen usually have a range of signature tricks…】
【You have acquired an occupational skill: Making Promises.】

Meng Xu: ?

“Only one skill, Making Promises?!”

Meng Xu was stunned; he felt he had been duped.

It seemed the system had taught him a lesson: the upgrade for the Chairman was the pancake he had been chasing, and he had relentlessly completed tasks to level it up.

No increase in attributes, just a lesson from the system!

Feeling sulky, Meng Xu still held onto a sliver of hope and checked the skill description for ‘Making Promises,’ hoping it would be useful.

What if the skill turned out to be impressive?

【Making Promises】
【Level: 1 (To upgrade the Chairman occupation, you need to expand the company’s scale)】
【Description: Making Promises is a great leadership skill. In daily life, you often promise future benefits to colleagues, classmates, and teachers. As a Chairman, you are the supreme master of promising future benefits in the workplace! Using this skill, you can promise future rewards to employees, boosting their work enthusiasm and making them willingly act towards your promises. (Note: The promises must align with the employee’s current desires, otherwise, the effectiveness will greatly diminish)】

Meng Xu: ?

It seems…

Useful, maybe?

Meng Xu was a bit unsure and decided to observe further.

After all, he had no employees around him at the moment, so he couldn’t test the skill’s effectiveness.

At this moment, Meng Xu regretted not bringing Li Xiang along.

Although Ah Xiang is ugly and lacks manners, at least he’s a qualified and good employee, and he can serve as a test subject for experimenting with new skills.

More importantly, Ah Xiang is a mutated zombie, which is not easy to kill.

Zhang Tao and Chi Wei, as ordinary zombies, would probably die after a few trials, but Ah Xiang is different. To take Ah Xiang down, one would really have to go all out; otherwise, he simply wouldn’t die easily.

That’s Ah Xiang for you!

Do you have an employee like that? Truly the epitome of a worker!

What to do without any employees?

He’d have to go back and try the skill next time.

Meng Xu sighed deeply. Having completed his entrepreneurial tasks, he now needed to consider other missions.

“Attention, Jiang Xiaoqiu from Class 3-6! Jiang Xiaoqiu! Your grandpa asked me to bring you two cans of Forgetful Child Milk!”

Meng Xu shouted, hoping Jiang Xiaoqiu was still alive. If she were, he could convert this former rich lady into his second living employee, making her do the paperwork for him: “Wow, your grandpa really loves you!”

Meng Xu’s voice echoed through the empty building, evidently prompting some reactions.

There were disturbances upstairs, followed by several zombies leaping down with roars!

“Smack!”

With a series of loud crashes, the zombies were instantly reduced to mangled piles of flesh.

Blood splattered all over Meng Xu.

Meng Xu wiped the blood off calmly and looked at the struggling zombies on the floor. He picked up his baseball bat and started smashing them, “You damn beasts, don’t you know I’m wearing new clothes?! How can you be so filthy and unmannered?!”

Blood and gore spattered everywhere as Meng Xu vented his frustration.

Don’t these zombies know how to use an elevator?!

Jiang Xiaoqiu, are you among them?!

Scanning the fallen zombies, Meng Xu didn’t see any matching Jiang Xiaoqiu’s age.

“Huh?”

Meng Xu was surprised: Could the system actually be right this time? Is there a real person here?

Thinking this, Meng Xu glanced at a mirror on the counter, adjusted his hairstyle, and prepared to search each office.

Meeting a lady requires looking smart to leave a perfect first impression.

Of course, that’s if he weren’t covered in blood.

Just then, Meng Xu noticed a faint pink guiding line appear in his vision, seemingly pointing him in the right direction, courtesy of the system.

“Well.”

Meng Xu was pleasantly surprised and couldn’t help but give the system a thumbs up: “Well done, system, you’re actually reliable this time!”

With that, Meng Xu took his first step.

He was going to find Jiang Xiaoqiu and learn from the granddaughter of Runjiang Group’s chairman how to manage a company!
