The Walking Dead: I Sell Arms as a Sixth-Rate Seller in the Apocalypse

8:30 a.m.

The Spike Motel is located 5 km from the entrance to Atlanta's East Side.

Mieko and Rick stared at each other, and Rick asked Mieko, "Miss Mieko, the moment I saw you, I knew I was in love with you, especially your captivating appearance, which has taken deep root in my heart. In this apocalyptic world filled with zombies and danger, I hope to walk with you. I hope to use my power to protect you from harm. I will accompany you to the North District of Atlanta to find your mother, Ms. Park Mi-ri. Therefore, I hope you can give me a chance. If the apocalypse ends, I hope to form a family with you. Is that alright?"

Upon hearing Rick's words, Mieko's face turned as red as a ripe Fuji apple. At this moment, Mieko didn't know what to say. Two voices were fighting inside her: "Say yes! Say no! Say yes! Say no!" The two voices were constantly battling deep inside Mieko's heart.

Rick looked at Mieko's blushing face and didn't rush to continue. Instead, he picked her up and placed her on his lap, staring at her. At this moment, Mieko didn't realize she was being held and continued to watch the two voices vying for dominance in her mind.

Seeing this, Rick kissed her again. This kiss, just like the last one, caught Mihoko off guard. Her brain went blank for a moment, and the two voices deep inside her disappeared as if they had never existed.

Ten seconds later

Rick released Mieko. Although Mieko blushed, she was no longer as at a loss as before. Now she looked resolute, as if she had mustered a lot of courage.

Seeing this, Rick pressed his advantage, saying to Mieko, "Miss Mieko, you..."

Mieko immediately interrupted, saying, "I do!"

Having finished speaking

Before Rick could even feel happy when Mieko said yes, he was pushed onto the bed by her. Mieko was unusually fierce at this moment. Rick wanted to resist, but then thought better of it and gave up. He silently enjoyed and felt the love that his wife was giving him.

Two hours later

Mieko and Rick emerged, one supporting her lower back, the other walking slowly and unsteadily.

Both were satisfied with each other's performance.

Rick's personal space had been upgraded. He ran to the bathroom, and while Mihoko returned to bed, he slipped into his personal space. Rick found himself in a picturesque world with trees and a mini lake in the middle, from which spring water was gushing forth.

Seeing this, Rick called out to the system and asked, "System, system, what's going on here? Why does this space look so much like other spaces where I've traveled to ancient times or the 60s and 70s?"

[Ding! Replying to the host, yes, host, after this upgrade, your personal space has changed like this. Previously, your personal space was pitch black, but now it's more like what you imagined.]

Rick: "So, the portable space is currently this big, but if I continue to upgrade by doing missions, it can be expanded? And even have more functions? To the point that I could cultivate fields here or even build a villa right here?"

[Ding! Yes, host. As long as you continue to complete tasks, your personal space will continue to upgrade and expand as you said, and you'll even have a house. However, your personal space is currently level 1. Previously, it was level 0 with only basic functions. Now, your personal space can not only raise livestock, but also raise fish in the mini lake in front of you.]

Rick: "System, system, when is the next upgrade? And what changes will there be when the portable system space is upgraded to level 2?"

[Ding! Answer the host, the level 2 system space is not only twice the size of the current one, but also adds three new functions: 1. The growth rate of crops and poultry and fish will be accelerated, and the output of poultry will be greatly increased. For example, if a chicken lays one egg a day, after upgrading to level 2, the chicken can lay three eggs a day.]

2. The mini lake will upgrade into a larger lake, and a well will be generated on the ground where the host is standing. The well water can cure any disease except the zombie virus. However, if a person is infected with the zombie virus, the water in the well can greatly slow down the zombie transformation process. The effect is even stronger than that of advanced inhibitory vaccines, and there are no side effects. Just drink a cup within a certain period of time to continue to slow down the zombie transformation process.

3. Rare minerals and medicinal fields will be generated within the personal space. For example, if the host needs to create some special items, but the required materials do not exist in this world, then after upgrading to level 2, a mining vein for that material will appear in the system space, making it convenient for the host to enter the space and collect it there.

As for the medicinal field, like other transmigrators, the host can grow special medicinal herbs in it. These herbs can grow rapidly in a short period of time and their medicinal effects are comparable to those of older herbs.

For example, if the host plants a ginseng in the medicinal field, then after one day, that ginseng will become a thousand-year-old wild ginseng, with even stronger medicinal effects than a thousand-year-old wild ginseng. This concludes the introduction to the Level 2 portable system space.

Seeing how incredibly powerful the Level 2 system space was, Rick didn't hesitate and said to the system, "System, system, quickly issue a mission! I want to do a Level 2 portable space upgrade mission! I want to do it! I want to do it! I want to do it!"

[Ding! Host Gou, this is something you requested to do yourself. This system didn't force you to do it.]

Rick said excitedly, "Yes, yes, System Daddy didn't force me. It's just that I wanted to improve so much. I think about how to improve every day. And now this opportunity has come. System Daddy, please, give me this opportunity to improve."

[Ding! Since Host Gou is so eager to improve, then this system will grant you that opportunity.]

Rick: "Okay, thank you very much, host, for giving me this opportunity. I will cherish it and perform well. I will definitely not let you down!"

[Ding! System detected the host's eagerness to complete the task. The following task is now issued: "Please occupy the Georgia State Federal Prison within 72 hours. Advanced task: "Conduct large-scale renovations after occupying the Georgia State Prison."]

[Ding! Mission Reward: "System Portable Space Upgrade Card" x1. Advanced Mission Reward: "Base Construction and Development System Upgrade Card" x1.]

Rick: "System, system! I don't know the mission location. Can you help me pinpoint it?"

[Ding! Answer to host: No! You should arrange for someone to find it yourself. Asking the system for help with such a small matter is unnecessary. This system is short one player for a mahjong game with other systems. Unless it's absolutely necessary, host, please don't call on this system unnecessarily. Goodbye!]

After the system finished speaking, it disappeared.

Seeing the system disappear, Rick returned to the bathroom from his personal space.

At this moment, Rick looked at Mihoko, who was resting on the bed, while he spent 400 points to exchange for four high-tech rings from the system shop.

The ring looks like an ordinary diamond and platinum ring, but it contains three functions.

1. The ring has a 1-cubic-meter storage space inside, allowing you to put in and take out items at any time. Items placed inside will be frozen in their original state before being placed in, keeping them permanently fresh.

2. This ring has an aura-shielding function, which can be activated for one hour each time, with a 15-minute cooldown. It allows the wearer to shield their human aura, transforming it into a zombie aura, just like the Whisperer's zombie mask, and is unaffected by the weather.

3. This ring has a communication and positioning function. No matter where the wearer is, people with the same ring can sense each other and can also communicate by silently thinking about each other, regardless of distance.

Rick returned to bed and saw Mieko lying there. He got into bed himself and lay down next to her. Rick stroked Mieko's long, black hair and smelled the fragrance of her shower gel after her bath. Rick swallowed. Mieko opened her eyes and looked at her man beside her with a satisfied expression.

At that moment, Rick took out the high-tech ring and put it on Mieko's finger in front of her.

Then, with a look of affection, he said to Mieko, "How is it? Do you like it?"

Mihoko looked at the ring her husband had put on her finger, then rubbed the ring together and said, "Yes, I like anything you give me."

Rick picked up Mieko's demon sword, the First Generation Kitetsu, from beside him and handed it to Mieko.

Mieko, looking completely bewildered, took the demon sword, the First Generation Kitetsu, from Rick's hand and asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Why did you take it?"

Rick: "Hey honey, why don't you take this katana and silently say 'put it in your storage space' and see what happens?"

Mihoko looked at Rick like he was an idiot and said, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? I'm 19 years old. Are you still trying to fool me like you would a child?"

Rick looked at Mieko with a helpless expression and said, "You're my wife now. I can't lie to my own wife, can I? Just listen to me and see."

Mieko said with a helpless expression, "Fine, I'll listen to you this once. But if I find out you're playing me, I'll show you how powerful the Shimonohara family is."

After saying that, Mieko took the katana and followed Rick's instructions. Instantly, the katana disappeared from her hand. She was stunned for a moment, then looked at Rick with a terrified expression and said, "Where's my katana? How did it disappear? Why is it haunted in broad daylight?"

Rick smiled and said, "It hasn't disappeared. It's in your ring. Now, silently recite 'Taken the katana,' and your katana will reappear in your hand."

Upon hearing Rick's words, Mieko did not hesitate this time. Instead, she silently recited the command to take it out, and instantly, the vanished katana reappeared in Mieko's hand.

Seeing how special the ring was, Mihoko became incredibly curious, bombarding Rick with questions. In the end, Rick had no choice but to tell Mihoko about the ring's three functions.

He also showed her the same ring he was wearing, and Rick even used his third ability to make a telepathic call to Mieko, which made Mieko extremely happy.

Mihoko was very sensible; she didn't ask her man where the ring came from.

When she learned that her man had given her something so important, Mieko felt incredibly happy and vowed that no matter what her man did...

Even if it means going against the whole world, Mieko will stand firmly by her man's side and cheer him on.

Rick then took out his Beowulf assault rifle, but this time the M203 grenade launcher on the Beowulf had been replaced with an underbarrel crossbow.

Seeing Rick take out his old favorite gun, Mieko asked, "What are you doing? Why did you bring the gun over?"

Rick shook his head, then handed his Beowulf assault rifle to Mieko, saying, "I saw you liked it before, so since you like it, I'll give this gun to you. I hope you cherish it. I'll teach you how to use it 'hand in hand' once it's safe to do so."

Hearing Rick's words, Mihoko didn't hesitate. After taking Beowulf, she put the weapon into her ring space and said to Rick, "Thank you, honey. I will cherish it." After saying that, Mihoko hugged Rick's face and kissed him repeatedly before lying in his arms.

Suddenly, Rick seemed to have thought of something, and said to Mieko with a mischievous grin, "Wife~ Now that you're my wife, how about I give you the chance to be a mother?"

Mihoko's mind was still replaying the image of Rick putting a ring on her finger, unaware that a big bad wolf had pounced on her, giving this little white rabbit a taste of its own medicine. Mihoko didn't refuse, and the two of them started doing *that* again.

after an hour

Rick stood up, his head trembling. He felt like his kidneys no longer belonged to him. On the other hand, Mihoko was perfectly fine and even gave Rick a look that seemed to indicate she hadn't had enough. This scared Rick away immediately. Without thinking, Rick grabbed his clothes and ran out of the room.

Mieko was pondering Rick's question when she angrily yelled at him as he ran out of the room, "What mother? I don't want that kind of opportunity! I'm only 19! If you want to be a mother, be one yourself. Don't try to fool me into having your baby right now!"

After saying that, Mihoko angrily turned her head away, lay down on the bed, closed her eyes to rest, and soon fell asleep.
