Chapter Eleven: Do You Not Know… Just How Weak My Strength Is?

The rice noodles made from the starch of peculiar grass stems have a wonderful texture and are quite filling. In the apocalypse, they are an excellent food, perfectly suitable as a staple.
Back in her room, 007 spoke excitedly, “Ta-da! Dear Host, the camp has been built! After a thorough inspection by this system, its defense is top-notch. At your current progress, you can stay in the camp until you raise Gu Xingze’s affection to one hundred percent! Then you’ll clear this world!”
“Congratulations on completing the camp construction task. Rewards: ‘Jade Skin’ makeup, apocalypse-exclusive outfit x2, fifty cookies…”
The rewards for completing the main quest were generous. Notably, the two outfits were named “Dawn of the Apocalypse” and “Silent Black Sun.” Their contrasting primary colors—silver-white and black-gold—were stunning and luxurious.
007 urged, “Host, try them on!”
Xu Nuo clicked to equip and instantly donned the first set, Dawn of the Apocalypse. Moonlit silver-white radiance flowed across the rich fabric, the dress’s lines graceful and fluid, imparting a pure and sacred aura.
She read the detailed description: this outfit was a luxury plus version of the initial “Spotless” starter set, with special effects. It possessed a self-cleaning function, repelling all dirt; moreover, it was impervious to water, fire, blades, and bullets—its defense was unrivaled.
“Silent Black Sun” was the opposite in style: deep darkness interwoven with heavy gold ornaments like shackles, opulent yet suffocating, radiating an overwhelming sense of oppression. It too boasted exceptional armor, impenetrable by blades or bullets.
“Will you become a holy deity, granting him light and hope? Or will you merge with the darkness, dragging him into eternal hell?”
007 praised gleefully, “Host, you look amazing—these really suit you!”
Xu Nuo was thoroughly pleased with the outfits. “I think they’re wonderful too.”
007 said, “Host, you can go out now and test their effects. Both have hidden features, especially useful for your target.”

Xu Nuo swept her hand boldly. “Alright, I was just about to head outside.”
007 suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

In the living room.
Gu Xingze looked at the earnest girl before him. “You’re going out?”
Xu Nuo nodded, “Yes, I’m heading into the city.”
Gu Xingze replied, “It’s dangerous out there.”
“You mean the zombies?” Xu Nuo didn’t seem concerned. “Don’t you know about my—”
007 hurriedly cut in, “Stop! Don’t break character! You’re the delicate heroine in need of protection, no exaggerating!”
“—weak abilities?” Xu Nuo managed to turn the sentence around.
Gu Xingze eyed her with suspicion. Was she really weak?
“Ahem…” Xu Nuo, thick-skinned as ever, pretended not to notice. “Our camp lacks supplies. I want to go into the city and find some useful furniture.”

Gu Xingze asked, “What kind of furniture? I’ll get it for you.”
Xu Nuo replied, “Television, computer, range hood, refrigerator, air conditioner, electric fan, generator, hair dryer…”
Gu Xingze’s face remained impassive.
Xu Nuo asked, “Is that not possible?”
The underling nearby was dumbfounded. Miss Xu, why do you need so many appliances? Even though they had a generator, it couldn’t support all those devices, and what would you do with a TV or computer? The internet was long gone.
Gu Xingze still said nothing, but his expression spoke for him.
“I plan to leave the camp tomorrow morning,” Xu Nuo declared, unwilling to change her mind for his lack of support.
The air grew tense, the atmosphere suddenly cold.
The underling asked cautiously, “Miss Xu, are we going with you?”
