Chapter 3
Brain-Dead in Reality
His luck was very good. At the very beginning of the apocalypse, he awakened his spatial ability. Although it had no offensive power, he was highly valued and protected by the military. Later, when the base was established, he relied on his superb hacker skills to secure a logistics position, making his life even more stable.
Although all of this couldn't guarantee a completely comfortable life during the apocalypse, it was still a life without worries. His greatest wish was to "eat and wait for death" in logistics, waiting for a new civilization to be established and order to be restored.
Thus, he still couldn't figure out why he would be so desperate as to abandon such a life to become some villain and torment himself.
"Thank you, I don't need any rewards. I just want to continue 'eating and waiting for death'."
Qiu Qi's attitude was resolute; he was just that much of a 'salted fish'.
System: It had truly never seen anyone so lacking in ambition!
"If the Host refuses to accept, then we are very sorry. Due to the company's security protocols, we can only proceed with your deletion. Currently, the Host's soul and consciousness have been separated from the body for too long. The body in reality is brain-dead. Without our assistance, you cannot revive."
If soft tactics failed, then hard tactics. The System was determined to force him into a corner. Usually, a free lunch from the sky only came in two types: either one choked to death, or one was crushed to death.
In essence, the System fundamentally didn't give people a chance to choose life. Its previous good attitude was merely a pretense.
Qiu Qi fell silent. What he disliked most was being threatened and controlled, especially in such a forceful manner.
"In other words, you killed me? And then kidnapped my soul?"
System: "...As long as the Host completes the mission, we will assist the Host in reviving in another dimension, and there will also be rich rewards. Our virtual world is simulated to be very similar to the real world, allowing the Host to enjoy various lives, equivalent to living several more lifetimes. You won't suffer any loss."
Qiu Qi chuckled: "Then you truly are conscientious. I have a question to ask."
"Please speak, Host."
"If I agree to do the mission, can you let me bring my ability into the world? Your simulated Star Net game can be compared to the real world, so if I encounter difficulties and injuries there, it must also be very real. If I can't die, then living might be suffering. If my safety isn't guaranteed, I won't feel at ease. I'm going to do a mission, not to suffer. Am I right?"
"The Host can earn reward points and then purchase items in the System store. The store has everything, including storage rings and even abilities. As long as you have reward points, you can exchange for them, and the way to earn reward points is to complete the villain missions assigned by the System."
