Apocalypse: My Apartment Has Traits - Chapter 84 - 76: Flesh Lock
Chapter 84: Chapter 76: Flesh Lock
Looking for tenants?
Su Lin felt a bit resistant inside.
He had always valued personal space, especially when he thought of the scenes where he would randomly play “games” with Su Tongxi regardless of location.
But after upgrading to a Level 4 Safe House, the beast tide would attack from two directions simultaneously, and having only two people at home was indeed inadequate.
If in the future there are three or four routes of beast tide, even more manpower would be needed.
If only he could find a powerful girl. Su Lin thought, instinctively glancing at his sister-in-law.
There was no doubt that his sister-in-law perfectly met his requirements.
If a woman like his sister-in-law, with a large, beautiful figure and strong strength, moved in, he would absolutely agree wholeheartedly.
Zhao Yaxin sharply caught his gaze and immediately returned a cold death stare.
“Cough!”
Su Qi timely coughed, breaking the subtle atmosphere, and brought the topic back on track with a normal expression:
“That’s settled then, that Tier Two Treasure Meat will be entirely for Linzi to consume himself.
“As for the two pieces of Tier One Treasure Meat, one will be entirely for our Su Family, we’ll hold onto it for now and decide once the Shunfeng Travel Group arrives;
“The other piece, we’ll immediately convert it into combat power and allocate it to suitable people, and one-third of it belongs to us.”
With the Su family as the main combat force, and the meat was broken down by Su Lin, they naturally took the larger share.
Su Lin suddenly remembered something and added:
“Oh, there’s something I almost forgot, Tongxi’s Qi and Blood were almost filled yesterday.”
“What?”
Upon hearing this, several surprised gazes immediately focused on Su Tongxi.
Su Can was even more astonished:
“You’ve only unlocked the Skin Lock less than a week ago, right? Eating just a bit more Treasure Meat, and your Qi and Blood are already filled?”
Su Tongxi’s pretty face turned slightly red, with a hint of shyness, yet her voice was clear:
“No… Grandpa, today it’s completely filled.”
Sss—The group couldn’t help but gasp, once again shaken by Su Tongxi’s astounding martial arts talent.
Su Qi’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, contemplating:
“Now I think maybe giving that Tier Two Treasure Meat to Tongxi would maximize its effectiveness… With her qualifications, she might directly break through the Bone Lock threshold!”
“No! No way!”
Unexpectedly, Su Tongxi reacted extremely strongly, her voice suddenly raising high, displaying rare and intense resistance.
She shook her head vigorously, her tone firm:
“Brother Kirin needs that Treasure Meat more! In terms of strength, I haven’t mastered ’Discharge’, but Brother Kirin is already proficient in ’Soldier’.
“What we need right now is instant combat power, Brother Kirin is more suitable than me!
“…Anyway, I absolutely won’t take Brother Kirin’s things!”
Her small hands clenched into fists on her knees, attitude firm.
Su Can and Su Qi deeply looked at this well-behaved yet stubborn girl, eyes filled with appreciation and genuine affection.
They finally understood why the elder couple would treat this adopted girl as their own.
This sensibility and sincerity, truly made one’s heart ache.
Su Qi immediately turned to glare at Su Lin, tone severe:
“If in the future I find out you bully Tongxi, I won’t let you off lightly! Do you hear me?”
“Huh?” Su Lin blinked innocently.
Su Can continued, addressing Su Tongxi, decisively stating:
“In that case, I’ll allocate you some more of the one piece of Tier One Treasure Meat belonging to our Su family! Linzi, this little flirt…
He gave Su Lin a sideways glance:
“He’ll likely choose ’good-looking and strong’ female tenants, so I expect it’ll still be just the two of you for a while.
“By strengthening your prowess, the sooner you upgrade to a Level 4 Safe House, the better for everyone.
“As for me and your second uncle, with poisoning and injury, giving us Treasure Meat would be a waste!
“That’s settled!”
In the house, it’s mainly the second uncle acting as the think tank, making decisions, but nobody dares to oppose the decisions made by the old man.
Su Tongxi and Su Lin looked at each other, momentarily silent.
’Am I that obviously flirtatious?’ Su Lin wondered perplexedly to himself.
Su Can glared at him again, scolding:
“Also! Stop eyeing your sister-in-law! You rascal!”
“I didn’t!”
Su Lin maintained his expression, loudly defending himself.
Zhao Yaxin’s cheeks instantly turned bright red, turning her face away, the blush making her coldly beautiful visage even more stunning.
“Hmm?”
Su Yingying tilted her little head, looking at her mother’s reddening cheeks, then at the embarrassed little uncle, her big eyes rolling, clutching a doll, pondering something with bright eyes.
“Alright, things are temporarily settled like this. Linzi, you too head back, take a good rest in the next day or two, you’ve been overly diligent lately, remember to balance work and rest. Also, you haven’t recovered from your inexplicable exhaustion this morning, right? Cough cough…”
Su Qi suddenly coughed twice, showing fatigue.
He actually had quite a few things he wanted to discuss.
About using Snake Bone and Snake Skin to create gear for Su Lin;
Su Lin’s few Explosive Crossbow Arrows and his Qi and Blood exhaustion;
And strategies for facing Yun Village and Quanzhou Village… Linzi’s mind works well now, Su Qi intended to discuss with him, the old man’s rigid brain was no match.
Yet after today’s constant battles, the fright of giant birds, and the visit from city-level guests, his body and energy were too drained, his old injuries aching again.
Not only Su Qi, but Su Can and Zhao Yaxin’s eyes also couldn’t hide the deep fatigue.
More matters must wait for later.
…
After bidding farewell to Grandpa and Second Uncle, Su Lin walked home with Su Tongxi.
The path was in ruins, as if hit by a hurricane.
Scattered supplies, wild vegetables dried all over the ground, transport wagons tilted over, even broken apart, a wooden wheel rolled past Su Lin’s feet, chased by a panting child.
The village children were immediately sheltered indoors by their parents when the big bird arrived.
This was a blessing within misfortune, as Su Lin hadn’t heard of anyone being seriously injured on his way back.
Su Tongxi clutched Su Lin’s arm, almond-shaped eyes still carrying a hint of fear:
“That big bird was really terrifying.”
Su Lin sighed, gazing far:
“Yes. But what’s even scarier is, such a terrifying giant beast can be tamed by humans to become a travel mount…”
Ni Yan’s goddess-like figure flashed across his mind.
What he saw today truly opened the door to a new world for him.
However, what weighed even heavier on his mind was the information Ni Yan conveyed, even Qinghuang City, a city-level camp, was fraught with danger, even a powerful being like her required caution.
With his meager strength, no matter how hard he struggled to grow stronger, could he truly live stably in this merciless apocalypse?
Moreover, as a Prefect, why did Ni Yan come all this way to this village-level wilderness seeking Yun Village?
Did something earth-shaking happen nearby, something to even alarm such a character? The more Su Lin thought, the heavier his head felt, letting out a long sigh:
“When will this life ever end?”
Su Tongxi sensed his heaviness, hugging his arm tighter, softly saying:
“Brother Kirin, go home and have a good rest, you’ve been too tired lately.”
Her eyes were full of concern.
Also, her face blushed slightly.
She thought… Tonight she might try, muster the courage and wear the transparent little dress and white stockings Brother Kirin always wanted her to wear, as a reward for him.
Su Lin was silent for a moment, then nodded: “Okay.”
Perhaps it was really nerves stretched too tight recently, plus the day’s string of events, making his thoughts tangled and chaotic.
The afternoon sunlight remained bright.
When the sun shone on Su Lin’s face, he then realized it was surprisingly just afternoon.
Yet he felt as if he’d gone through several long days.
…
At night.
Su Lin and Su Tongxi respectively consumed Tier Two and Tier One Treasure Meat.
The vast energy surged within, both successfully unlocking their Flesh Locks.
Unprecedented feeling of immense power filled their bodies, Su Lin felt he could crack stone and break boulders with just a casual punch.
Yet, he felt no excitement inside.
Having witnessed the might of Tendon Lock Martial Artists, Tier One Mutant Beast ferocity, and even the sky-covering giant bird and goddess-like existence, his perspective was no longer limited to the small Flesh Lock Realm.
Compared to this still weak increase in strength, Su Lin focused more on tomorrow—the moment the third-week terms refresh!
Terms were, after all, his greatest trump card.
