Chapter 1: Failed Blind Date, System in the Apocalypse! (New book, please collect)

[This article is purely fictional, please do not project it onto reality, live rationally]

Inside a certain coffee shop in Canglan City.

"I'm not a materialistic woman. My blind date with you isn't for your money."

"Then I won't give you a bride price."

"No! That won't do! My best friend got 666,000 yuan, so I need at least 888,000 yuan. Otherwise, I'll seem cheap!"

Lu Zheng looked at the woman in front of him with a half-smile, finding it amusing.

She kept saying she couldn't be objectified, yet she was openly pricing herself and comparing herself to others.

Song Yubi felt a little flustered under Lu Zheng's gaze and quickly tried to mend things:

"I am a virtuous woman. I will treat you well in the future."

"Then all the housework will be yours to do in the future."

"No! That won't do! We can hire a maid for housework. My hands need to do my nails and can't get wet."

Lu Zheng was speechless, just continuing to look at her as if to say, 'Please continue.'

Song Yubi felt a bit guilty under his gaze, but thinking of Lu Zheng's family property, she still brazenly continued.

"After we get married, I'll listen to everything you say and won't make you angry."

"Then all the money in the household will be managed by me, and I'll only give you a fixed living allowance each month."

"No! That won't do! My best friend said men change for the worse when they have money. Not just after marriage, but as soon as we confirm our boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, you'll have to hand over your bank card for me to manage."

Looking at the woman in front of him, who seemed to be arguing with herself, Lu Zheng strongly suspected there was something wrong with her brain.

Song Yubi felt a bit uncomfortable under his gaze and tried to make a final salvage attempt.

"In the future, what's mine is yours. We won't distinguish between us. You shouldn't be so calculating."

"Then transfer 100,000 yuan to me right now!"

"No! How could I!"

Song Yubi suddenly stood up, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly bristling. Her eyes filled with anger, and she pointed at Lu Zheng, complaining:

"How can you be like this? I've said so many nice things, and you keep refuting me. Many people are pursuing me. I'm giving you this opportunity, and you're not seizing it properly!"

She came on this blind date because she owed over 400,000 yuan in online loans that she couldn't repay and desperately needed a good person to pay them off for her.

Let alone 100,000 yuan, she couldn't even produce 100 yuan right now.

Lu Zheng's words were like calling her a pauper to her face, which she couldn't tolerate.

Lu Zheng scoffed at her words, waved to the waiter, and said to Song Yubi at the same time:

"I also came here through a matchmaking agency. Before this, we were just strangers."

"Let's end it here today! Waiter, check please!"

Actually, Lu Zheng had originally thought of going dutch with Song Yubi, but upon remembering her earlier expression, he figured he'd have to get entangled for a while longer.

There was no need to waste time; ending it early would prevent it from affecting his appetite.

Song Yubi was dumbfounded. She had planned for Lu Zheng to treat her to a meal, as she couldn't even afford food now. Was it just ending like this?

Seeing Lu Zheng finish paying, she quickly said:

"I can give you another chance. Let's find a restaurant and talk properly."

"As long as you transfer an apartment in the Canglan University faculty housing complex to my name right now, the bride price can be lowered to the same as my best friend's."

Lu Zheng's father was a university professor, and his mother was a writer. The couple went on a trip, and their cruise ship encountered a storm. Only four people from the entire ship were found; the rest were missing.

Later, the two were declared deceased, and their over 10 million yuan in savings, a villa, and three apartments next to Canglan University came into Lu Zheng's possession.

Lu Zheng, who had originally planned to pursue postgraduate studies, directly chose to lie flat.

During his parents' lifetime, they required Lu Zheng to complete at least ten blind dates each year before finding a partner.

After they passed away, Lu Zheng still completed this task.

During this time, he had seen all sorts of people, and Song Yubi was one of the most prominent types.

If he hadn't seen that she was a graduate student at Canglan University, Lu Zheng wouldn't have even given her a chance to meet.

He never expected her to be so greedy and foolish!

Seeing Lu Zheng drive away without looking back, Song Yubi cursed loudly, then took out her phone and directly exposed Lu Zheng's personal information online, even widely publicizing it in university groups.

After receiving support from many 'sisters,' Song Yubi finally felt a little better. Sure enough, only girls help girls!

How to solve lunch?

She sighed, only able to rely on her 'simps' for now.

She posted a Moment with the caption—

'It's already noon, and I'm still alone. Is loneliness truly the norm in life?'

Settings: Only visible to 'simps'.

In less than a second, several people left messages inviting her to lunch.

Song Yubi immediately revealed a disdainful and smug smile.

She looked down on these poor 'simps,' but at the same time, she was incredibly confident because of their adoration.

"Lu Zheng! Losing me will be the biggest regret of your life!"

On the other side, Lu Zheng had completely forgotten about her.

He went to the supermarket and bought a lot of snacks and groceries, enough to last him for more than half a month.

After losing his family, he got used to playing games and working out at home, not wanting to go out.

The villa was too big, so he had rented it out and lived in an apartment in the Canglan University faculty housing complex.

Carrying bags large and small into the elevator, he was about to press the close button when two people quickly walked in.

Lu Zheng knew one of them: his downstairs neighbor, the youngest associate professor at Canglan University, Gu Lengyue.

Gu Lengyue was tall and slender, with long, flowing hair, wearing pencil pants and a small suit jacket. Because of her excellent figure, this outfit made her look both formal and provocatively alluring.

Behind her followed a girl with a ponytail, looking full of vitality. Lu Zheng felt like he had seen her somewhere before.

"Professor Gu, and this is?"

Although Gu Lengyue was aloof and proud, she wasn't impolite. She briefly introduced:

"This is my student, Gu Miantang."

Lu Zheng showed a look of sudden realization at her words.

Gu Miantang, a third-year student, one of the five campus beauties of Canglan University. Because she also shared the surname Gu, she and Gu Lengyue were constantly compared on the Canglan University forum.

Some even mistakenly thought they were sisters.

Gu Miantang saw that Lu Zheng was handsome and also looked her over, feeling a bit shy but still speaking gracefully:

"Hello, I'm Gu Miantang."

Lu Zheng smiled:

"My name is Lu Zheng. I live right above Professor Gu. I bought a lot of snacks. Do you have any favorites? Take whatever you like."

Gu Miantang waved her hand.

"No, no, thank you."

At this moment, the elevator reached the fifth floor. The two said goodbye to Lu Zheng and left the elevator.

Lu Zheng didn't mind and returned to his room.

As soon as he put down all the food, he suddenly heard a loud bang and quickly ran to the window to check.

Then he witnessed an incredibly shocking scene.

A huge sinkhole appeared at a distant intersection, spewing out a large amount of black mist that rapidly spread, enveloping all the surrounding vehicles and buildings!

And looking out, it seemed many places throughout the entire city were emitting black mist.

The black mist affected traffic, causing numerous car pile-ups and explosions, which were incessant. People fell into panic.

Lu Zheng murmured to himself:

"Has the end of the world arrived?"

Suddenly, a light screen appeared before his eyes, with a line of text on it.

"Ding! The apocalypse has begun. Congratulations on acquiring the Shelter System!"
