Apocalypse: Resources Consumed by Women Returned Ten Thousandfold-Chapter 54: Ask Around—How Valuable Is Lin Bulang?
Bright Moon City.
Jiangbei Villa District.
In a spacious and bright girl’s bedroom.
Xu Xingyao lay on the bed, her calves raised, a pair of fair and clean feet gently swaying in the air.
"Free meals and accommodation? Who is this person?"
She clicked into Lü Su Ran’s homepage to take a look.
Only to find that this person had never posted anything.
The personal introduction was also very straightforward:
"Free meals and accommodation, goddess only, interested, private chat."
"Such arrogance!"
Xu Xingyao clearly didn’t believe that this Lü Su Ran could really provide free meals and accommodation!
As a minor internet celebrity with a million followers.
She had often received private messages from some sleazy old men, claiming they’re willing to pay a lot to support her!
But she herself was a little rich lady!
She didn’t lack that bit of money.
Naturally, she wasn’t tempted and just sneered at those old men!
Calling them toads wanting to eat swan meat!
Until the apocalypse suddenly arrived!
Everyone fell into a desperate situation of resource scarcity.
She was no exception.
The balance in her bank account had instantly turned into a meaningless string of numbers.
She offered ten thousand online, but couldn’t even buy an apple!
Fortunately.
She was a homebody.
Usually, she had stocked up quite a lot of supplies.
That’s why she didn’t starve to death in the short term.
But as time passed day by day.
The Red Mist still lingered.
Her supplies gradually dwindled and soon would run out.
It was at that moment!
To survive, she was even willing to be kept!
But!
Those older men who wanted to keep her before were now struggling to survive themselves.
So they didn’t dare to talk about keeping her anymore!
Instead, there was someone willing to offer a bottle of pure water for her company for three days!
Xu Xingyao decisively rejected it!
Because just one bottle of water couldn’t save her!
To survive, she was willing to sacrifice everything of herself!
But if!
Her fate was already sealed, to die in this crisis!
She’d rather go clean, to die sooner.
Not to just live another day.
And lose her dignity.
So!
She had a hearty meal.
Found her exquisite cosplay outfits!
Applied makeup.
Recorded a video.
Spent a whole day carefully editing it.
And then posted this "life’s work" online!
It was also her farewell statement to the world!
And then!
She planned to just lie on this big bed until she peacefully departed!
The video gained hundreds of likes barely half an hour after being posted.
She was very pleased.
At least she came, left a mark, and could be remembered.
But just as she was joyfully reading fans’ comments.
She unexpectedly discovered a message about "free meals and accommodation" from Lü Su Ran!
"Surely a scammer!"
"Unless he can foresee the future and stocked up a lot of supplies, how can he say free meals and accommodation?"
"Besides, even if he really has stocked up on a lot of supplies, he definitely wouldn’t give it to outsiders to eat!"
"Probably using it as a gimmick to scam, once he has deceived a girl’s body, he’d then drive the person away!"
"It must be like this!"
"But... what if..."
Although rationality told her this was definitely a scammer.
She couldn’t help responding with a question mark.
The next moment!
Lü Su Ran sent a private message:
"Interested in free meals and accommodation?"
Xu Xingyao bit her lip and hesitated for a long time, but eventually typed:
"How can you prove you can provide free meals and accommodation?"
Lü Su Ran:

...
A big pile of images!
All kinds of supplies!
Pure water, self-heating pots, snacks, drinks, exquisite breakfasts on the tables, vegetables, fruits, meat, and other ingredients...
Even if she wasn’t very hungry at the moment.
Xu Xingyao couldn’t help swallowing a mouthful of saliva.
But her cautious nature led her to ask a few more questions:
"Can you guarantee I won’t starve? I have a big appetite!"
"How can you ensure that you won’t drive me away later just because I eat too much?"
Lü Su Ran:
"Look at how little ambition you have!"
"No matter how much you eat, it can’t be more than Xiaohu, right?"
"You can also inquire under the videos of Xingfu District about how high the credibility of the name ’Lü Su Ran’ is."
Xu Xingyao didn’t know who "Xiaohu" was.
But she had heard of Xingfu District!
After all, it was the only place in the world not swallowed by the Red Mist!
Known as humanity’s doomsday paradise!
So she exited the chat with Lü Su Ran, and went to find a video about Xingfu District.
She asked in the comment section:
"Excuse me, does anyone know who Lü Su Ran is?"
Just a few seconds later!
Someone replied:
[Lin Bulang? An out-and-out scoundrel! Most of the supplies in our community have been monopolized by him alone!]
[Dude, you’re really brave. Aren’t you afraid the boss will come knocking on your door!]
[Afraid of what! This is my alt account! He won’t find me! Hahaha!]
[Lin Bulang is such a pervert, several of the top-notch goddesses in our community have been messed up by him! They’re kept indoors and have no clue what kind of miserable life they’re enduring! Sigh! So envious... ah no, so pitiful for them!]
[Why are you asking about Lord Bulang? You also want to sign up for room and board? Stop dreaming! The lord’s standards for women are really high!]
[You outsiders don’t cut in line! We, the people in the community, are still queuing up!]
[Hmm? Seems like this girl’s appearance is top-notch, maybe the lord really might choose her!]
...
Xu Xingyao felt more and more like she was dreaming!
The evaluations of Lin Bulang were mixed among the people.
But a few key points were indisputable—
First, Lin Bulang really has a lot of supplies!
Second, Lin Bulang has already provided room and board for other women!
Third, women in the same community are all hoping to be chosen by Lin Bulang!
...
Seeing more and more replies below!
Xu Xingyao quickly deleted her question!
She had already made her judgment in her heart—
Lin Bulang was someone trustworthy!
So, she quickly found Lin Bulang’s account and sent him a private message:
[I am willing to be your woman!] 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢
[But, how should I come to find you then?]
She checked the map.
The Jiangbei Villa District where she was located was about ten kilometers away from Xingfu District!
If it were in the past, this distance would definitely not be far.
But now, it’s all red mist outside, filled with fierce beasts!
Forget ten kilometers, even a hundred meters distance, she wouldn’t dare to take the risk!
Lin Bulang:
[I can come to pick you up, but there’s one condition]
Xu Xingyao:
[What condition?]
Lin Bulang:
[Dress up as an Avatar]
Xu Xingyao:
[???]
What kind of fetish is this?
Why dress up as an Avatar?
Lin Bulang:
[Going out comes with risks, blue is my lucky color today, you don’t want anything happening to me halfway, do you?]
Xu Xingyao:
[Alright...]
Lin Bulang:
[Tonight, see you or nowhere]
Hanging up the phone.
Xu Xingyao let out a long sigh!
Was she saved?
Just when she didn’t want to live anymore, a supplies boss actively found her and even provided her with room and board?
This feeling.
It was like winning ten million!
More than excitement.
More was...
Unreal.
...
Xingfu District.
After having dinner.
Gu Fei, Tang Lingyu, and Lü Su Ran all challenged Lin Lang to a duel.
But Lin Lang turned them all down.
After all, he already had plans tonight—
After nightfall.
All was as silent as death.
The several women went downstairs to sleep.
While Lin Lang stood in the study, first using his "Spirit Wood" ability to summon some branches from outside the window, constructing a suspension bridge.
He stepped onto the bridge, heading outdoors.
Then.
With a thought, he secretly used his "Controlling the Red Mist" ability!
Instantly!
A stream of red mist from outside the community flew over, like a ribbon, gathering and swirling around him!
Completely enveloping his body.
Then, the red mist floated upwards, taking him into the sky.
Under the deep night, no one noticed, a figure flew far off!
...
In the air.
Lin Lang looked around, surrounded by thick blood-red mist, as if he were in a sea of blood!
And he stood on it, like standing on solid ground.
So he sat cross-legged.
Calmly running the Martial Arts Breathing Technique passed to him by Ouyang Yunzhi.
In an instant!
The surrounding red mist surged in! Racing to enter his body!
Nourishing every single cell in his body.
Equivalent to once again tempering his physical body from the inside out!
The excess was then stored in his superpower core—
The originally golden bead.
Also gradually turned blood red...
[Lin Lang]
[Combat Power: SS]
[Physical Body: Fifth Enhancement]
[Superpower: Inspiration (Level 10); Spirit Wood (Level 7)]
Combat power advanced!
SS-Class!
Only then did Lin Lang open his eyes.
Only to find the surroundings were clear and bright!
No trace of red mist in sight!
He had absorbed all the red mist in this place!
"I’m full!"
"Time to find an Avatar!"
He "rode" the red mist, like Sun Wukong riding the somersault cloud, steadily flying toward the Jiangbei Villa District!
