I transformed into a cute girl and lived a carefree life in the apocalypse.

"Then let's hurry up and go..."

The conversation stalled there because Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue both realized a major problem—there were no shopping channels available!

Yongjing Military Administrative District was still under occupation; most citizens had taken refuge in emergency shelters, so there was no one left selling things.

Although the ten miles around the northern city wall have been recovered as planned, we are still in a wartime state. The streets are under strict control by the army, so naturally no citizens will come out to make a living.

"This is really a difficult situation..."

Yan Ziming rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache.

Ye Qianxue could only remain silent; even she didn't know what to do now.

"Anything that's sparkly is fine?"

Yan Ziming noticed something: shiny things don't necessarily have to be bought, right? Collecting them locally isn't out of the question!

Having vaguely guessed Yan Ziming's thoughts, Ye Qianxue covered her mouth, somewhat surprised:

"Big sister, you wouldn't be thinking of...?"

"Yes, hehe~ Crystal cores perfectly meet this requirement!"

That's right, Yan Ziming, that heartless bastard, actually set his sights on the crystal core.

"But, dear sister, isn't this a bit inappropriate?"

What is a crystal nucleus?

In this post-apocalyptic world, besides being used to enhance strength, crystal cores are mostly used as currency. After all, crystal cores are hard currency, and they are much more valuable than the currencies issued by the state in the apocalypse.

Yan Ziming, meanwhile, was thinking of giving the crystal core to Mu Mu as a gift in order to win her favor.

At first glance, it seems like there's nothing wrong with it, but have you ever seen someone give money to a girl and get her forgiveness?

While this does happen, it inevitably seems a bit too low-class.

So Yan Zimo was truly single by choice for over thirty years before her transformation!

Chapter 103 is conveniently placed here.

"But what grade of crystal core should my elder sister give me?"

Ye Qianxue knew that her older sister had made up her mind and nothing could change it, so she could only acquiesce to Yan Ziming's idea of ​​giving her the crystal core.

"Hmm, well... I'll send an A-grade one then."

In fact, Yan Ziming felt that since she was going to give a gift, a low-level gift wouldn't show her sincerity, and she didn't have a high-level gift. So it would be better to just choose an A-level gift, which would be in a position that was neither too high nor too low.

Based on current market prices, a Grade A crystal core can sell for at least several hundred thousand yuan, which is indeed a good price to give as a gift.

Upon hearing that Yan Ziming was going to give Mu Mu an A-grade crystal core, Ye Qianxue reached into her clothes and rummaged around in front of her chest for a while. When she took her hands out, she had a crystal that shimmered with purple light. She opened her palm and placed it in front of Yan Ziming.

"If it's Rank A, Chiyuki already has it on her. If you need it, Big Sister, feel free to take it."

Reaching out, Yan Ziming took the Grade A purple crystal core, which faintly emitted Ye Qianxue's body fragrance. His lips twitched.

"Why are you putting that thing on your chest? Doesn't it hurt?"

Ye Qianxue shook her head:

"Not at all. Qianxue just thought that keeping it here would make it less likely to be stolen."

It's not easy to be stolen from... Is that all there is to it? You know, some perverts specifically target that area!

Ye Qianxue continued:

"Actually, big sister, you can learn from Qianxue. The space here is actually quite large, and you can put small things like milk tea in it..."

Yan Zimo felt ashamed.

So those anime scenes where someone puts milk tea in their breast pocket actually exist in real life...

If you think about it carefully, given their size, it's actually not difficult for them to do something like that.

Yan Ziming thought to herself: Maybe I can try it someday? It seems quite convenient, but I'll have to wait until this battle is over.

Shaking his head, Yan Ziming put the thought aside for the time being and turned his attention to another problem.

"Where did you get this Grade A crystal core?"

My stepsister is even lazier than me; she never leaves the house, and the allowance I give her isn't even enough to buy an A-grade crystal core. So where did she get this one?

When asked this question, Ye Qianxue's eyes visibly darted away for a moment, though she quickly recovered, but Yan Ziming still noticed it.

"This is what Qianxue earned from doing odd jobs."

"Who are you kidding?! Earning an A-grade crystal core from odd jobs? If there were such a job, I'd do it too! Tell me, did you sneak out while I was out?"

Yan Ziming's tone was somewhat angry. She had repeatedly warned Ye Qianxue not to go out alone, what if something happened to her?

"Once..."

"You!" Yan Ziming was about to get angry, but then she suddenly remembered that she had made a similar mistake before, which made her owe Ye Qianxue compensation.

Repeatedly reminding himself to stay calm, Yan Ziming said calmly:

"What's the reason? Depending on the circumstances, I can forgive you."

Ye Qianxue had already closed her eyes and was waiting for her older sister to scold her, but Yan Ziming's sudden change in tone still confused her.

"That was around that time, when you came for your period last time, didn't we run out of living expenses..."

"When will it come?"

"It's that thing that women have every month!"

Uh... Yan Ziming was a little embarrassed. She had only started her period in the last two months, so she didn't remember it very clearly.

"Ahem... Continue."

After coughing twice, Yan Ziming wanted to change the subject as quickly as possible.

"At that time, my older sister wasn't quite used to it yet, so she slept in bed all day. In her dream, she even said she wanted to eat ginseng chicken soup, so Chiyuki had to go out and hunt monsters alone..."

Yan Ziming crossed her arms over her chest, supporting her large breasts (the weight of which usually hindered her thinking) and closed her eyes to ponder deeply.

It seems... there really was such a thing.

I vaguely remember Ye Qianxue making a pot of soup for me when I was bedridden, but the taste...

The moment Yan Ziming recalled that taste, everything came flooding back. She couldn't help but remember it! The taste was so unforgettable that it almost poisoned her. If it hadn't been Ye Qianxue who brewed it for her, she would have suspected that someone was trying to kill her.

Although she managed to finish the drink under Ye Qianxue's expectant gaze, Yan Ziming ended up lying in bed for two more days because of it. From then on, she strictly forbade Ye Qianxue from going into the kitchen, which made Ye Qianxue sad for a long time.

Chapter 104 Tool Person

So, the root of the problem lies with me. Ye Qianxue was just concerned about her. Yan Ziming already knows the answer in her heart.

"Hmm...you've passed, but this is the last time."

"Really?" Ye Qianxue asked with a delighted expression.

"But really, you shouldn't have run out alone like that..." Then came a long string of nagging about how dangerous it was outside and how "girls should be careful..."

"Doesn't my older sister usually go out alone?" Ye Qianxue thought to herself.

Even such a soft whisper was heard by Yan Ziming, who flicked Ye Qianxue's forehead:

"I'm already at level seven, what am I afraid of? You're just a noob still hovering around level six. Wait until you reach level seven before you say that."

"Wow! I'm not a noob, big sister, you're underestimating Qianxue..."

The two chattered away, but Ye Qianxue was destined to lose to Yan Zimo, whose skin was thicker than a city wall.

Yan Ziming shamelessly pocketed the Grade A crystal core he had taken from Ye Qianxue's chest.

"In short, I'm confiscating this Grade A crystal core. I'll personally go out and hunt down the one I gave to Mu Mu. You just stay here and behave yourself!"

When Ye Qianxue heard that Yan Ziming wanted to leave her behind and go out alone, she immediately objected:

"No way! Big sister, have you forgotten how badly you were beaten up just now?!"

Yan Ziming blushed, unsure how to refute.

There was nothing she could do; she had just had a mishap before! How could she let Ye Qianxue rest easy now?

Ye Qianxue added an extra condition: "At least Qianxue must come along!"

Unable to resist Ye Qianxue's persistence, Yan Ziming had no choice but to agree.

"Are you going to fight?" came Tian Tian's energetic voice from behind.

"Wow!" "Who!"

Suddenly, someone approached from behind, startling both Yan Ziming and Ye Qianxue.

Tian Tian looked completely innocent: "It's me. Has the commander already left?"

Yan Ziming was somewhat dissatisfied.

What does it mean to say "Have you left?"? That's really an unlucky thing to say.

"Pah, pah, pah, that's such an awful thing to say. My uncle is still healthy and strong. He's already gone to work."
