Lee Mingyun, already determined to survive and complete her mission successfully, decided to ask about that body she was carrying — And what is the name of this body? How old are you? This girl doesn't seem to exercise much, she's not in shape —
The system decided that it was to end the questions, or else they would have even fewer hours to prepare for Zombie Apocalypse — I will give you a small summary of her, her name like yours is Lee Mingyun, she is currently fifteen years old but inside In two months she will turn sixteen, her parents are away for work so she stays to live alone, although her mother's friend comes to visit her every month to see how she is, she studies at a school only for women —
The blonde teenager just nodded her head, apparently she didn't have to deal with two unknown people who claimed to be her parents - Hey system, do you have any golden fingers to help me in my mission? —
—The zombie apocalypse hasn't even started and you already want help from a golden finger? Sorry that's against the rules, I can't give you the benefits that come with the system until you find at least one of the targets—
Lee Mingyun: system you are a stingy
Lee Mingyun was upset, generally in novels the protagonists were given a big golden finger as soon as they arrived, not when they were halfway through the mission. "And if for some reason I quit...What awaits me?" she asked, now I wanted to learn more about your options
—Well in case you quit, you have to die like the last time—
—Did I die last time? "I thought I just had a bad taste for the food," the blonde said doubtfully.
—You died due to food poisoning—
Lee Mingyun only frowned. "Was it that bad?" — she muttered to herself, after thinking about her options she finally decided what she thought was best — Even so, I think I'd rather die — it's not that Lee Mingyun is suicidal or someone lazy who doesn't take advantage of her life, but her mission had many difficulties and no help to complete it.
System 0010980 seemed surprised by the decision it had made — Are you sure? - I ask, getting a "Yes" from the young woman - Can I ask why you decided to die instead of completing the mission, I mean, generally humans accept missions to gain one more chance to live -
Lee Mingyun would be lying if she said she didn't want another chance to live, to see her parents and friends again, but she didn't want to become some kind of slave to the system for this chance — Why are you being unfair about not having any fingers? golden, not even a space to survive in the middle of zombie apocalypses, and I don't even know how long it will take to find the first objective—
System 0010980 responded immediately — But you can survive only with your physical training from your previous life —
Lee Mingyun frowned to reply, —Well, that would have been a big advantage for me, if you know I was in my old body.—
—Does your current body have any defects? But that cannot be possible, before bringing you into this world I checked it and it did not have a terminal or malignant disease — the system responded, expecting congratulations for its good work from its carrier.
However, the congratulations she wanted never came, on the contrary the young blonde was as red as a tomato with anger — Is this a joke? This body is not in shape at all, it shows that he never exercised more than what was asked of him in Physical Education classes, he doesn't have any muscle, maybe he's just a pretty face —
System 0010980 was thoughtful, it had to find a solution to fix the problem, it could not be left without a carrier, it had to save this world at all costs or it would be fired from its job — How about a space with fifty square meters? —
The young woman then became interested in the system's offer — Will you give them to me for free? Without having found any of the targets? —
The system responded — No — but when it saw that the young woman was turning red again due to anger, it changed its words — I can't give them to you without you having completed at least one task, today you will be given a task. and it will be a simple one so that you can complete it before the zombie apocalypse, then as a reward you will be given the space with fifty square meters. What do you think? —
Lee Mingyun stayed silent for a few seconds to think about whether or not the space suited him. —What if I want a bigger space?—
— Then you must complete more tasks, each task you complete will give you a gift or benefit that the system will give you, every week new tasks will be updated — explained system 0010980, hoping that she would accept the deal that was being offered to her at once, but the young woman The blonde still seemed to have doubts about accepting the offer, seeing that he had already spent an hour just convincing the blonde and not wanting to fail in the mission, he offered her something else - In addition to the fact that the parents of the current body you use left her daughter a bank card where she has an amount of twenty-two thousand for school fees, food and for some emergencies —
The young blonde's eyes lit up as soon as she said that she had money, because for her money means food, and twenty-two thousand would be enough to buy food to survive a few weeks or even months if she could save, so she happily accepted the mission.
System 0010980, seeing that its carrier finally accepted the mission, let out a squeal of excitement —Okay, so now you can go buy what you need and bring it back to this department, I think that by that time the first tasks will arrive. what you should do —
Lee Mingyun, with the help of system 0010980, found the debit card that his parents left him, to change quickly so as not to waste any more time since there were only nine hours left before the zombie apocalypse.
.....
The first thing Lee Mingyun thought after leaving the apartment was to go to the nearest ATM and withdraw all the money from his account, but then he remembered that there is a limit to the amount of money that the user can withdraw per day.
t was then that she changed her mind and went for her second option, which turned out to be going directly to the bank to empty her account and luckily for her, and thanks to her Google Maps on her cell phone, she found a bank two blocks from where she lived.
She walked to the bank all excited and excited to get all the money out of her account, she forgot a small detail that she only remembered when she was in front of the bank.
She forgot that she was a minor and the account was in her father's name....
— I'm sorry, miss, but the account is in Lee Dong's name —
Lee Mingyun had to beg the teller and then the manager who came later because of the hustle and bustle she was making at the bank, she couldn't receive the money even when she claimed to be Lee Dong's daughter, even when she showed him proof of the fact, she even almost told him. They took away the card she had, if it weren't for the fact that she left the bank in a hurry to prevent them from taking the card from her.
After half an hour she had finally left the bank without money and was almost left without a card, Lee Mingyun was flushed with anger, while on the other hand, system 0010980 only laughed at the teenager's misfortune.
—I can't believe you humiliated yourself in such a way— the system mockingly commented in that squeaky voice that began to annoy Lee Mingyun.
It turns out that system 0010980 is invisible to anyone who is not its user, so he entered the bank as if nothing had happened and witnessed the humiliation of the teenager.
— Oh, shut up, will you?— I reply, rolling my eyes at what the system said.
—Well, I don't want to keep quiet— I challenge the system.
Lee Mingyun started walking, completely ignoring system 0010980, thinking of a way to convince his father to give him the money in the account willingly.
After walking for a few minutes, she saw an ATM and decided to take out what she could. After leaving with five thousand in her hand, feeling calmer, she finally decided to call her father Lee Dong to try to convince him to take out the money and send her some other way, maybe send him to an acquaintance.
She searched through her contacts and called the name she had scheduled as "Father." —Hello?— the blonde asked when she realized that the other line had already answered. —"Dad?" —
—My dear Mingyun, is that you? — a foxy voice of an adult man was heard on the other side of the line.
The system that was next to him gave small blows to the blonde saying "Talk to him nice, after all he is your father"
Lee Mingyun with a sigh decided to speak to him with more confidence — Yes dad, I'm Mingyun —
—How are you Mingyun? Do you need anything? Do you have any problem? Is it school? — Several questions were heard over the line, Lee Mingyun could hear his father's really worried voice
— I'm fine, I'm doing well at school — the teenager could see it as lying that she had some problem either with her health or school, but she quickly discarded the idea upon hearing Lee Dong so concerned about her well-being.
— I'm glad, daughter, you're eating on time, right? —
— Yes, dad, everything is going wonderfully here — Lee Mingyun commented, despite not knowing the father of this body, the man really seemed to love his daughter, and since she was now in his daughter's body the least What I could do is reassure him about his well-being. —Actually, Dad, I wanted to ask you a favor...—
However, before she could mention what the favor was, she was interrupted by the man. —Yes, of course, you tell me Mingyun, what do you need?—
—Actually I need money...— before making up an excuse as to why she needs the money she was interrupted again.
—Can't I give you the card? How much do you need? Maybe I can send you more... — the other end of the line responded quickly.
Suddenly, a fleeting idea came to the blonde's mind, "maybe if I asked her for even more money, maybe I would buy more things and she would be better prepared for the apocalypse..." she shook her head, pushing that idea away. , maybe if he asked his father for even more money, he would no longer have enough to support himself when the zombie apocalypse comes.
But money won't help either once the apocalypse appears. The best thing would be to invent a lie so that they would gather all the food they could store....
— Dad, I don't need more than what's in the account — I answer before finally inventing a lie that both of them could benefit — I heard yesterday that the prices of food, clothing and everything in general will soon increase; —Apparently there are rumors that there is going to be inflation...— he informed her with a worrying voice that from miles away you could tell it was fake.
System 0010980 next to her stared at her as if saying, "Is that what you call acting?"
Lee Mingyun : It's not my fault that I don't have acting skills, my parents were military, not actors...ಡ ͜ ʖ ಡ
Maybe Lee Mingyun wasn't a great actress, well she wasn't even an acceptable actress, but in some miraculous way her father seemed to believe the bad lie his daughter told him, maybe he was a fool for his daughter.
— No, ¿what are we going to do? — The teenager heard her father say those words over the line, probably in shock at how low his voice sounded as if he had said it in a whisper.
— You have to buy all the food you can to store it, lest prices go up double or triple — I answer his father, suggesting that he buy food — That's why I need money, I already got money the card five thousand, which is the most you can take out of the ATM... but I was wondering if there is another way you can send me at least another five thousand from the card, the rest would be for you and mom so they can also store food
Then there was a moment when nothing was heard from the other side of the line — Dad? — Having still not received a response from the named person, Lee Mingyun began to lose hope that his father would send him money....
When he was about to hang up, he heard a voice on the other side of the line, it was not the previous thick and raspy voice, but rather it was that of a woman, soft and melodious — Are you still there, daughter? —
The blonde came out of her daze quickly to answer, —¿Mom?— Greeting although it came out more like a question
—Listen to me Mingyun, your father and I have some extra money in an account that is mine, you said you took out five thousand, don't you see?— The blonde nodded when she heard her mother's question only to receive a small tap from her. of the system, to realize that her mother couldn't see her, so a brief "Yes" — Then you still have seventeen thousand, we will send that to you in cash with my friend Tao, you know the one who comes to visit you every month, She will give you twenty thousand in total, seventeen thousand of what you have in your account and three thousand more we will send you...—
As soon as she heard that they would send her the rest of the money, even more so that they would increase it, the teenager was about to faint with joy, and she would have done so, if it weren't that every second was valuable to her
However, worry began to flood her, but that emotion did not come from her, she frowned when she felt an immense need to reject the offer that had just been made to her, so to calm that worry that she did not know where it came from, she decided to ask — Mom, do you have enough money? They should also store as much food as they can today —
His mother's voice nodded with an "Mmm..." as if approving his question —Yes Mingyun, we have the same amount of money saved in my account and don't worry about our food, today we will go buy everything we need. we can—
The wave of worry that the blonde adolescence had felt dissolved as quickly as it came. —It's okay, mom, it's better if you finish spending all that money today, —I advise them.— I would like to talk more, but I have to go now, I'll tell you. I send a message in the night—
—It's okay, you take care of yourself, Mingyun—his mother's voice was heard shortly after a "We love you" from both parents.
After hanging up on his parents, Lee Mingyun went to buy groceries with the money in his hand, he bought various canned foods, he also bought vegetables, noodles, rice and potatoes.
System 0010980 had told him that as long as the food is in space it will remain as fresh as he left it, meaning that time did not pass in space.
When she had no more money left, she went back to her apartment with all her bags in hand, to see if her mother's friend, Mrs. Tao, had already left her the money.
And it turns out that it was....
It turns out that Mrs. Tao had left an envelope on the table with a note saying that she was the one who left it, it was only then when she saw the full money that the teenager breathed a sigh of relief.
But something began to worry him, Mrs. Tao had entered his apartment, that means that she has the key to his apartment.
In other words, she wasn't entirely sure leaving her food here, and she should be even more eager to demand that the system give her the task once to obtain her space.
Lee Mingyun quickly looked at system 0010980 with a fierce and longing look. —Dear system, have I finally uploaded the tasks I need to complete this week?— asked
System 0010980, upon seeing the blonde's longing look, ignored it — What? —
Lee Mingyun, upon seeing the system, pretended not to understand, and had a vague feeling that there was no task for her yet, so instead of keeping her doubts to herself, she decided to ask — You still don't have anything, right? —
—No— the system answered honestly and was about to tell him that the tasks always take at least twelve hours to load, but he changed his mind when he saw Lee Mingyun start to frown. —But don't worry, it won't take more than an hour. more on finishing loading tasks —
Lee Mingyun then saw the wall clock that was in the dining room, it showed half past eleven, that means that two and a half hours had already passed, that is to say that at twelve noon the explosions were going to occur.
should hurry up
So instead of continuing to scold the system, he collected the money and went out again to continue buying groceries.
