Quick Transmigration: Passerby A Gets Entangled with the Male Lead

The zombies that approached them were instantly struck by lightning, and an unsettling smell filled the air.

"Fu Chuji, haven't you ever heard the saying, 'Love often begins with curiosity,' brother? Please don't fall in love with me, okay?" He Zhiyao rarely put away her smile and said to Fu Chuji with a serious expression.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't help but giggle, her laughter clear and melodious, like the sweet sound of silver bells.

Fu Chuji chuckled, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes. She thought to herself, "This person is far too confident in himself."

If not...

"Where is my crystal core?" Fu Chuji's voice was very calm.

However, when He Zhiyao heard Fu Chuji ask about the crystal core, she blinked and pretended to be clueless: "What crystal core? Why are you asking me about your crystal core?"

Fu Chuji wasn't bothered by He Zhiyao's attitude; after all, the person had already been caught.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, staring at He Zhiyao with a half-smile, and said, "Then tell me, why would I come all this way to find you?"

Actually, Fu Chuji hadn't really cared too much about whether He Zhiyao would choose to leave. However, since this woman had taken his things, it would be against his usual ways not to bring her back and reclaim what belonged to him.

Upon hearing Fu Chuji's question, He Zhiyao immediately put on an innocent expression and replied seriously, "Isn't it because you took over my house and felt guilty and uneasy, afraid that something might happen to me outside, that you came here to find me?"

These words were spoken with such sincerity that even He Zhiyao herself almost believed them. Her innocent, self-deceiving demeanor inadvertently brought a slight smile to Fu Chuji's lips.

"Don't you want to look at what you're saying! This is the end of the world." Fu Chuji said as he walked to the door of the house where He Zhiyao lived.

He slowly extended his right hand, palm facing up, and coldly uttered two words: "Crystal Core".

Seeing this, He Zhiyao did not back down at all. She straightened her back and resolutely stretched out her arms to the sides:

"I really didn't take your crystal core. If you don't believe me, you're welcome to search my body as you please." Anyway, the crystal core is gone now.

Fu Chuji stood there, his posture as upright as a pine tree, his eyes cold and sharp as he stared at He Zhiyao in front of him.

He certainly disdained to search him personally, but simply raised his chin slightly, parted his beautifully shaped thin lips, and said coldly, "If you don't hand over the things, don't even think about leaving here today."

At this moment, He Zhiyao was filled with remorse, blaming herself for being too greedy. She should have known better than to have her eyes on this crystal core.

However, if he doesn't covet this crystal core, his special ability cannot be upgraded, and survival in this dangerous wilderness full of various mutated plants will become extremely difficult.

After much deliberation, it seemed impossible to find a solution that could satisfy both sides, as if trapped in an unsolvable vicious cycle.

He Zhiyao gritted her teeth and forced herself to speak, "Fine! I admit I took the crystal core, but... but I accidentally dropped it while escaping."

She didn't want anyone to know that she had superpowers.

However, Fu Chuji looked at her with suspicion, his expression clearly saying, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old?", and said sarcastically:

"Can't you come up with a slightly more plausible excuse? Do you think I'd believe such a lame reason?"

Seeing that her lie had been easily exposed, He Zhiyao's eyes lit up. She thought to herself that if she could follow the powerful male protagonist in front of her, she could not only collect more wood-type crystal cores to improve her superpowers, but she might also be able to successfully complete the side mission of protecting Dr. Wen with Fu Chuji and the female protagonist.

So she quickly put on a flattering smile and said in a sweet voice, "Brother, although the crystal core is lost, please rest assured that I will definitely compensate you with an identical crystal core."

After saying that, his face was full of sincerity, as if he was assuring Fu Chuji that he had absolutely no intention of coveting his crystal core.

Fu Chuji's lips curled up slightly, and he let out a disdainful laugh. The laugh seemed to carry a hint of mockery and doubt, but it was hard to tell whether he believed it or not.

"Can you cook?" he suddenly asked, his gaze seemingly fixed on He Zhiyao in front of him.

"Yes!" He Zhiyao answered without hesitation and with confidence. However, before she could finish speaking, she realized that she had been too impulsive.

Before Fu Chuji could respond, He Zhiyao quickly added, "Does...do you count if I can cook instant noodles?" At this moment, her voice was noticeably softer, and she seemed less confident, because she suddenly remembered that her cooking skills were limited to cooking instant noodles.

Upon hearing this, Fu Chuji wore a speechless expression.

Then, Fu Chuji looked at He Zhiyao with dark eyes, as if he were looking at a worthless piece of trash, which made He Zhiyao feel a chill.

“If you can’t do anything…” Fu Chuji began slowly, pausing deliberately halfway through her sentence to create a sinister and terrifying atmosphere.

Just then, He Zhiyao hurriedly shouted, "I will!" afraid that Fu Chuji would say something that would make her feel awkward.

"I know a lot of things, the only thing I can't do is cook, but I can learn," she quickly assured Fu Chuji.

Although she herself was not sure where this confidence came from, she inexplicably felt that Fu Chuji would not really do anything to her.

For some reason, ever since her first encounter with Fu Chuji, although he was always cold and indifferent, He Zhiyao could sense that his eyes did not show the slightest surprise at her appearance.

and……

Fu Chuji pondered whether He Zhiyao could be of any use to him.

【Xiao Liu, Xiao Liu.】He Zhiyao urgently called out to the system in her mind.

After a long silence, System 686, breathing heavily, asked, "What's wrong, host?"

"Could the male lead, Fu Chuji, be a reincarnated character?" He Zhiyao asked the system while looking at Fu Chuji strangely.

System 686 glanced at the general plot: the male and female leads protect Dr. Wen and develop a zombie cure, earning the respect of thousands. There was no point in finding the story of the male lead turning evil and being reborn.

The system then stated unequivocally: "Impossible. The male protagonist of this world cannot be reborn."

He Zhiyao: ...

Well, she was already used to how useless her system was.

I know you can go play now.

System 686: ? Play? It works like a slave but doesn't dare tell its host, sigh~

It’s difficult!
