Chapter 12 The Terrifying King Xiao
When Wang Xiao woke up, he took out his phone and saw that it was already noon.
Despite being in the apocalypse, Wang Xiao slept exceptionally soundly.
There was no alarm clock that would cause physical discomfort, nor was there any daily work urging from the supervisor.
This was the first time in so many years since Wang Xiao officially joined the company that he felt like he was still alive.
At the very least, he is still a normal person who gets tired.
Rubbing his hair, Wang Xiao suddenly remembered that he seemed to have heard a system notification last night, and quickly brought up his attribute panel.
[Host]: Wang Xiao
Occupation: None
[Level]: 2 (Current experience points: 0/200.)
[Ability]: None
【Strength】: 13
[Agility]: 8
[Physical Constitution]: 11
【Spirit】: 7
[Currently available attribute points]: 0
[Currently Available Points]: 24
[Current Hotel Assets]: Peace Hotel (Not yet officially open).
After checking, Wang Xiao found that all of his ability values had increased by 1 point due to the level increase, and the Peace Hotel had also been added to the hotel assets section.
Unfortunately, the occupation section still shows "none".
Wang Xiao muttered to himself, "I wonder how I can get a profession. I can't really wait until the hotel opens before the system gives me one..."
Considering that he couldn't find a solution in the short term, Wang Xiao simply stopped thinking about it.
After all, whether he has a profession or not doesn't matter much to him, as long as the system can add points for him.
After getting up and taking a spare set of clothes from his suitcase, Wang Xiao took the fire axe and left the guest room.
Now he has to go to the kitchen to fill the hunger that he didn't get to relieve last night due to exhaustion.
Just as Wang Xiao opened the door in a good mood, Xue Wu, who heard the noise, immediately rushed over.
With dark circles under his eyes, Xue Wu said anxiously, "Boss, about my wife last night..."
Wang Xiao raised an eyebrow: Goodness, they're afraid I'll change my mind, so they came to block the door first thing in the morning.
Wang Xiao glanced at him and replied, "I know you're anxious, but don't rush. I understand your worry for your wife, but can you at least let me eat something? You probably haven't eaten all day, right? If you don't eat your fill, how will you have the strength to fight off so many zombies outside?"
Xue Wu said anxiously, "Boss, I can skip eating."
As Wang Xiao walked towards the elevator, he stretched and said, "You don't have to eat, but I have to. If I don't eat my fill, how will I have the strength to help you save your wife?"
Xue Wu tried to persuade him again, "Boss, time waits for no one, I'm afraid..."
Listening to Xue Wu's incessant talking, Wang Xiao, who was already somewhat irritated by the negative effects of adding points and leveling up, suddenly stopped in his tracks.
He slowly turned around, his eyes revealing undisguised brutality, and said in a deep voice, "Xue Wu, it seems you can't distinguish who's the boss and who's the subordinate..."
Seeing that Wang Xiao had suddenly become different from before, Xue Wu, who was intimidated by Wang Xiao's aura, was at a loss for words.
It seemed that if he said another word, Wang Xiao would devour him like a wild beast.
"bite."
Just when the atmosphere was extremely dangerous, the elevator doors opened.
Wei Yan, who was on his way to report to Wang Xiao about what happened last night, happened to witness this scene.
Wei Yan adjusted his glasses, looked at Wang Xiao, then at Xue Wu, and said with a bewildered expression, "Holy crap, what's going on? Why has Big Brother changed again?"
Although he didn't know the exact situation, Wei Yan quickly stepped in to smooth things over so as not to be affected by Wang Xiao's anger.
Wei Yan stood beside Wang Xiao and said softly, "Hey, my good brother, what could possibly make you so angry so early in the morning?"
Calm down, Uncle Xue is just anxious to save his lover. Please be more understanding. If I were in his shoes, I might be even more anxious than Uncle Xue.
"Please be magnanimous. Uncle Xue just started working here, and I haven't had a chance to explain the hotel's rules to him yet. It's all my fault, please calm down."
Wei Yan's appearance gradually calmed Wang Xiao down.
"Damn it, the side effects of adding these points are way too great..."
Wang Xiao took a deep breath and began to try to suppress the irritability caused by hunger in his heart.
After a moment, Wang Xiao, having recovered his composure, looked at Xue Wu, who was still standing there in a daze, and said calmly, "Xue Wu, this is the first time, and I hope it's the last. If it happens again, you can leave on your own."
After saying that, Wang Xiao walked into the elevator alone and pressed the button for the first floor.
After Wang Xiao left, Wei Yan looked at Xue Wu, who was still in a daze, and comforted him, "Uncle Xue, don't overthink it. That's just how the boss is. Just don't bother him while he's eating in the future, it's scary..."
Wang Xiao's performance just now reminded Wei Yan of the miserable state of that zombie chef.
When he arrived at the kitchen, the zombie chef on the ground had his head gone, but all four of his limbs had been chopped off by Wang Xiao with a fire axe. His body was covered with various wounds, as if he had been subjected to some kind of torture.
From that moment on, Wei Yan knew that he should never disturb Wang Xiao when he was hungry.
On the other side, Xue Wu regained consciousness after Wang Xiao left.
While catching his breath, Xue Wu thanked Wei Yan, "Brother Wei, thank you so much just now, if it weren't for you..."
Wei Yan waved his hand and replied, "Uncle Xue, it's nothing. We'll be living here together from now on, and I'll definitely need your help when the boss isn't around. I'll appreciate your assistance then."
Xue Wu nodded and said, "Okay."
After saying that, the two of them walked into the elevator together, preparing to go to the kitchen to find Wang Xiao.
It's true that Wei Yan is a college student who hasn't yet been tempered by society, but that doesn't mean he can't see the situation clearly. On the contrary, he's very smart.
He knows when to do what and when not to do what.
For Wei Yan, his goal was simple: to live and then find his family.
He knew it would be difficult for him to achieve these things on his own, so he chose to follow the powerful Wang Xiao.
Although he didn't know why Wang Xiao accepted him so easily, nor did he know what Wang Xiao's intentions were, he was very clear about one thing: as long as he worked hard to complete the tasks assigned by Wang Xiao, Wang Xiao would at least not harm him.
In order to live and see his parents again, he must live on!
……
back kitchen.
After calming down, Wang Xiao was preparing food for the three of them.
There is no doubt that this morning's situation was not what he wanted to see.
However, those overwhelming negative emotions would always reappear after he added points each time.
If he doesn't find a solution, then next time he encounters the same situation, will he just kill the other person outright...?
After a brief moment of thought, Wang Xiao concluded that since there was no immediate solution, the only option was to avoid the worst-case scenario as much as possible.
The only solution he could think of was to carry some easily portable food with him.
At least in this way, he can greatly alleviate the occurrence of situations like today.
On the bright side, if this side effect can be used properly, it might even have some special effects when facing dangerous situations.
