muttered, his tone bitter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If Boss Su hadn’t stepped in, you wouldn’t have walked away from this.” Xi Ping didn’t respond.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t muster the strength to say anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All she felt was overwhelming gratitude—to Boss Su for recognizing her, for saving her when she had been seconds away from disaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The gates opened slowly, and she stepped inside, her blistered feet dragging across the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced back once, her gaze lingering on the crowd still buzzing with whispers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Yun’s screams faded as the gates shut behind her, sealing her inside the safety of Boss Su’s domain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She exhaled deeply, her body sagging with exhaustion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her ordeal wasn’t over, but for now, she was safe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thank you,” she whispered under her breath, her gratitude to Boss Su burning brightly in her heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Su Jiyai hurriedly ordered Yuan Xin to pick up Xi Ping and bring her to the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping was surprised to feel the cool breeze touching her skin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The temperature in Boss Su’s base was pleasantly lower than outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As soon as Xi Ping entered the base she was surprised to see an air conditioner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>During her time in Crystal Cove, Xi Ping once had the chance to see an air conditioner, it was in bad condition, yet it cooled down the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now seeing a fully functional one, Xi Ping was filled with envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How great could it be if she lived in such a place?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her soul was even more seduced when she saw the vending machine filled with various delicacies at a cheap cost.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ah!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>How she wished to just grab something to eat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the problem was, she hardly had any zombie crystals left.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though she traveled a long distance and killed many zombies, she didn’t dare to take their crystal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Reason?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Well, she didn’t have space and couldn’t carry it in the long run, so she could only reluctantly bury them at some checkpoints and promise to retrieve them later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping followed Yuan Xin down the pristine corridor, her blistered feet dragging across the immaculate floor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dirty, sweat-streaked appearance felt like an intrusion in this polished space, and she couldn’t help but feel self-conscious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The contrast between her ragged state and the spotless surroundings gnawed at her, but she squared her shoulders and held her head high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She’d learned long ago that projecting confidence could be as effective as actual strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yuan Xin stopped outside a wide door with a frosted glass panel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He gestured for Xi Ping to enter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Su will address you here,” he said curtly before turning and walking away without another word.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xi Ping took a deep breath and pushed the door open, stepping into the conference room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was sparsely furnished but luxurious by any standard she’d known.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She glanced around but found no one present.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As she hesitated, a clear, commanding voice echoed from the speakers embedded in the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Xi Ping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Please, take a seat.” Xi Ping was startled at the sound, however, she quickly composed herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pulled out a chair and sat down, her back straight and hands resting on her lap.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boss Su,” she began, her voice steady despite the knot in her stomach, “I came here because I need a place to live.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m willing to work for you in exchange for safety.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just let me stay in your base.” There was a moment of silence before the voice responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Work for me?” A faint hint of amusement laced the tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Do you realize what that entails, Xi Ping?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You might already have an idea of the type of work I do.” Xi Ping nodded, her hands tightening into fists.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She remembered the strange incident when Boss Su’s assistant had contacted her months ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The task had been dangerous—rescuing Boss Su- but the reward was life-saving supplies: two huge bags of rice and instant noodles.”I know it’ll be dangerous,” Xi Ping replied, lifting her chin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But I’m not afraid of hard work.” “Dangerous is an understatement,” Boss Su said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The missions I assign come with no guarantees.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you accept, I will waive your rent and allow you access to all food and resources within the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But your life… I make no promises to protect it.” The words hung in the air like a blade over Xi Ping’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She inhaled sharply, weighing her options.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The deal was tempting, but the risks were enormous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Finally, she spoke.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I understand,” she said cautiously, “but I have one condition of my own.” The speaker crackled faintly, and there was a brief pause before Boss Su replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A condition?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Interesting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Go on.” Xi Ping hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her heart pounded as she voiced the words that had been burning inside her for so long.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I want you to help me find my brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ve been searching for him ever since we got separated, and I don’t have the resources to keep looking on my own.” Silence filled the room for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then Boss Su’s voice returned, calm but firm.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I cannot accept your condition.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The offer I’ve made is already generous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adding this request is… impractical.” Xi Ping’s jaw clenched.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She pushed her chair back and stood abruptly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Then I can only leave.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thank you for your time.” Her voice was steady, but inside, her resolve trembled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She turned and began walking toward the door, her heart sinking with each step.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait,” Boss Su’s voice called out, just as Xi Ping reached for the handle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She paused but didn’t turn around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I’ll agree to your condition,” Boss Su said slowly, “only if you agree to one more of mine.” Xi Ping turned back, her eyes narrowing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What is it?” “First, you must sign a special contract,” Boss Su replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This contract will bind you to my service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It will ensure that you fulfill every assignment I give you without question.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Also, you can’t tell anyone about my work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Do you understand?” Xi Ping frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happens if I don’t fulfill the assignments?”\u003C\u002Fp>",1020,"2026-06-06T06:36:35.983Z",1,"novelbin.me","c79e67ff32f0865172e77cd40d88c89a214357fd9f4282ccb1073fdf6db70d49","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-244","apocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-chapter-242",661,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-i-have-a-multiplier-system-cover.jpg"]
