I'm in Love Apartment, and the system is making me cultivate immortality.

Chapter 364 Ziqiao, who died before achieving his goal
Seeing a cold glint in Hu Yifei's eyes, she raised her sword and slashed at Gu Yifan.

In an instant, the cold wind bit to the bone!

Gu Yifan quickly dodged, just then
"Let's go to the Expo! You're on top of me!"

Lu Ziqiao, who was dizzy from being hit, angrily pushed Zhanbo away.

This kid has such good sleeping quality; he didn't even wake up when I hit him, and he was still snoring.

Lu Ziqiao stood up and patted his clothes.

"Where is this"

"Shh!"

Before Ziqiao could finish speaking, the next second, a silver-white sword tip pierced through Ziqiao's back, revealing his chest!

"Hey! Get out of my way, you idiot!" Hu Yifei's irritable voice rang out.

Lu Ziqiao lowered his head in a daze.

Lü Ziqiao: ()——∑(O_O；)
The next moment, Lu Ziqiao's body stiffened, his eyes widened, and after two seconds of silence, he let out a non-human scream!

"what!!!"

"Killed!!!"

Ziqiao's piercing scream startled everyone who was still somewhat bewildered, and they followed suit, screaming and covering their heads.

Gu Yifan silently covered his ears because it was too noisy.

After a while.

Ziqiao swayed weakly, cold sweat pouring out, and staggered as he turned to look at Yifei.

He was filled with grief and indignation.

"What deep hatred could you possibly have for me, Yifei? You...you actually want to kill me!"

"Oops, wrong person! Sorry~"

Ms. Hu was somewhat embarrassed, and then she continued to argue illogically.

"Who told you to stand up at such an inopportune time? This was an accidental injury. An accidental injury, okay!"

Ms. Hu truly embodies the spirit of "as long as I don't think I'm wrong, I'm not wrong"—a spirit that avoids internal conflict.

Ziqiao's body swayed precariously.

His face grew increasingly pale, and he pointed a trembling finger at Yifei.

"Ziqiao, are you alright?!" Miss Qin was terrified.

"Call 120 quickly!" Lin Wanyu covered her eyes, not daring to look, but her fingers were wide open.

At this moment, Zhanbo, who had just been awakened by the scream, looked up blankly and saw that Ziqiao had been pierced through like a gourd by a sharp sword.

Zhanbo suddenly jolted.

"Sword, sword. Sword, sword, sword."

"It's in."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhanbo rolled his eyes and then slammed them to the ground with a 'duang'.

fainted.

"Hey! Zhanbo!"

Upon seeing this, Yifei rushed forward to check if her younger brother was alright.

He glanced at Ziqiao, who was kneeling on the ground with an expression that said, "I am doomed."

“Now we’re even, and you scared Zhanbo too.”

Ziqiao ignored Yifei, his eyes vacant as he murmured, "I feel my life slipping away from me. Is this what it feels like to die?"

"Ziqiao, what's wrong with you!" Meijia belatedly realized what was happening and ran to Ziqiao's side, her beautiful eyes suddenly glistening with tears.

Are you going to die?

"Meijia!" Ziqiao reached out his hand.
"Ziqiao!" Meijia firmly grasped Ziqiao's hand.

"I...cough cough...I might be dying. I don't want to die yet. There are so many beautiful women waiting for me to save them. My goal of killing a thousand people hasn't been achieved yet."

Ziqiao muttered to himself.

But Meijia's expression grew increasingly dark, and her gaze fell unfriendly on Ziqiao.

"Guan Gu, I'm sorry, I still owe you five hundred yuan." Zi Qiao turned to look at Guan Gu.

At this moment, a bewildered Guan Gu rushed over, anxiously saying, "It's okay, Zi Qiao, hang in there!!!"

Despite his weakness, Ziqiao continued, "I might not be able to pay you back that five hundred yuan."

"At a time like this, why are you still talking about five hundred yuan?" Miss Qin said hurriedly, but then she looked around and exclaimed, "Where am I? Why is there no door?"

“Yes, Ziqiao, I don’t want the five hundred yuan!” Guangu quickly said.

A glint of joy flashed in Ziqiao's eyes, and his lips trembled as he said, "Everything is so dark before my eyes, and my body feels so light. Is it an angel coming to take me away?"

Before Ziqiao could finish his acting, he suddenly felt a force coming from behind him.

"Hey!"

"Meijia, what are you doing!" Guan Gu stared in shock at Meijia, whose expression had changed and whose face was now frosty.

Meijia kicked Ziqiao in the back, then reached out and swiftly pulled the sword stuck in Ziqiao's back out.

"Pah! You bastard, I haven't even torn you to pieces yet, and you're already going to die!"

"How can that be done!"

Mika's eerie voice was like a chilling wind blowing from hell.
"Mei Meijia?" Zi Qiao shuddered in fright, looking at Mei Jia, whose face was contorted with rage and who was staring at him with a sinister smile.

This time, Ziqiao was truly scared.

"Mika, what are you doing? Calm down, calm down!"

Ziqiao moved his body back slightly, and Meijia took a step forward.

"What do I want to do?"

"Of course I'm going to—personally kill you, you beastly bastard!"

"Angels?! Go to hell!!!"

As Meijia spoke, she raised her sword high and, to everyone's astonishment, slashed at Ziqiao.

"Ah!!! Murder!"

Ziqiao, with a speed that was faster than even the speed of someone trying to hide their ears while stealing a bell, suddenly jumped up.

In an instant, he dodged the sword that Mika swung at him.

His movements were so swift that there was no indication that he was about to die.

"Lu Ziqiao! Don't run!" Meijia started chasing after Ziqiao.

Ziqiao ran in circles in the room that had no door, then took off running.

"Chen Meijia, if you're so capable, then don't chase after her!"

"Don't worry, Ziqiao, this sword is very sharp. One cut and you're dead! It won't hurt~" Meijia grinned and continued to chase and slash at Ziqiao.

"Bullshit, Chen Meijia, you shrew! Ouch! You actually tried to kill me!"

Ziqiao's expression twisted in terror as he screamed.

"I'm doing this on behalf of all the ignorant girls who have been deceived!" Meijia raised her sword high and slashed it hard into Ziqiao's back.

"Hey!"

In his panic, Ziqiao didn't look ahead and tripped over Zhanbo.

Meijia seized the opportunity and pounced over. First, she kicked Ziqiao hard to prevent him from getting up, and then she forcefully raised her sword and thrust it downwards!
Ziqiao was pinned to the ground, unable to move.

Then, with a victorious smile, he clapped his hands and squatted down in front of Ziqiao's face.

"Meijia, Meijia, let's talk this out. I was wrong, I was really wrong, I should pay it back!"

Ziqiao begged for mercy.

"Meijia, you're still young, you...you absolutely mustn't go down the path of crime!"

"Tch, I committed a crime? Killing you is doing justice for Heaven, how can you call it a crime!" Meijia said, pulling out the sword stuck in Ziqiao's shoulder.

"No, no, no, give me a chance, please give me a chance!" Ziqiao was so frightened that tears streamed down his face. He raised his hand to stop them while closing his eyes and wailing.

"Pah! This is what happens when you're a scumbag and deceive innocent girls!" Mika sneered angrily.

"You don't know you're wrong, you clearly know you're going to die!"

"Lu Ziqiao, I no longer care whether you're right or wrong, just give me your life!"

at this time.

Zhanbo was awakened again by screams and Ziqiao falling down on him.

As a result, I vaguely raised my head.

"I think I saw Ziqiao get two transparent holes poked in him by my sister."

The words are not finished yet.

Zhanbo suddenly saw that Meijia was riding on Ziqiao's back, constantly waving her sword.

"Swipe!"

Zhanbo's voice stopped abruptly.

Zhanbo: (Д)ノ

The next second, Zhanbo rolled his eyes again.

My body floated back to the ground.
I fainted from fright again.

The people around, who were initially terrified, gradually realized that something was wrong.

"Huh, why isn't Ziqiao covered in blood?" Miss Qin asked first, puzzled.

"Exactly, he's been stabbed so many times, how come he's still alive? Is Meijia some kind of martial arts master?"

Ms. Hu exclaimed, "Could it be that their apartment is full of hidden talents?"
“It’s possible that Mika was a nurse!” Guan Gu immediately rubbed his chin and said. He took a closer look at the clothes on her body and realized that they were Conan’s little dress, complete with a bow and voice changer.

"You were a nurse? What do you mean?" Miss Qin asked curiously.

"It means that they have a deep understanding of the human body's weaknesses and can accurately find places to stab without causing death."

Gu Yifan finally spoke, calmly stepping forward.

"Stop fooling around, Meijia, Ziqiao, get up."

"Clearly, this is not the real world."

"What?" Everyone was shocked.

"Not the real world?!" ×7
Even Zhanbo squinted his eyes.

After taking a careful look, he realized that Ziqiao hadn't been hacked to pieces and was only able to get up with his severed limbs.

How do you know that?

The haughty Ms. Hu glanced at Gu Yifan.

He was wearing a lotus-white robe, his hair had grown long and was tied up high, and he wore a Taoist crown. He looked like a young immortal who had attained enlightenment.

He also carried a long sword on his back, exuding an ethereal aura.

Hu Yifei: Pah! What a load of nonsense. But seriously, this outfit is actually quite stylish.

Gu Yifan didn't know why he was dressed like this; it was probably the system's doing.

"There should be a clue here. Take a look if you calm down." Gu Yifan pointed to his head.

"Hey, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm brainless?" Ms. Hu misunderstood Gu Yifan's meaning.

Enraged, he was about to give Gu Yifan a quick flick.

Gu Yifan: "."

Isn't Ms. Hu being a bit too impulsive right now?

at this time.

"Oh, I think I saw a line of text!" Miss Lin, who trusted Gu Yifan the most, closed her eyes and thought for a moment before noticing the system notification in her mind.

She opened her eyes in surprise to alert everyone.

"real or fake?"

Upon hearing this, everyone calmed down.

Sure enough, a series of prompts appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

Of course, it wasn't that they awakened the system.

This is all thanks to Gu Yifan.

He couldn't possibly explain how he managed to gather everyone here.

So they had the system create a subsystem.

"They said we're the chosen heroes to save the world!" Qin Yumo said with a surprised expression.

"Yes, yes, they also said that Teacher Zeng was caught in an alternate dimension. Our mission is to rescue Teacher Zeng and, incidentally, close the portal, otherwise the world will be destroyed."

Zhanbo read aloud.

His eyes lit up, and he exclaimed excitedly, "Wow! That sounds amazing!"

Zhanbo's adolescent delusions gradually subsided as he started working.

But since joining Gu Yifan's company, most of the people around me are suffering from severe chuunibyou (middle school syndrome).

Tsk, Zhanbo's condition has worsened again, and the recovery time seems far off.

"It's a scam, isn't it?" Ms. Hu was still skeptical.

"Then how do you explain where we are now?" Gu Yifan shrugged.

“That’s true. No, can’t I be dreaming?” Ms. Hu said, sticking out her neck.

At this moment, Guan Gu also reminded us, "Keep reading the prompts. They say we are currently in a dream instance, not that our bodies have been directly transported to another world."

"Hahaha, does this mean that I, Guan Gu Shenqi, am about to go down in history?!"

Guan Gu accepted this premise almost without hesitation.

After all, there are too many anime in Japan that feature characters who travel to another world with a system setting.

"I say, this system's explanation is terrible, it's like a third-rate novel."

Lu Ziqiao finally stood up and brushed off imaginary dust from his body.

The next moment, a miraculous scene unfolded: the blank wounds on Lu Ziqiao's body rapidly healed.

But then, Lu Ziqiao's expression changed, "Damn it, it deducted thirty points of my soul power!"

"What is soul power?"

Meijia realized from the beginning that Ziqiao wouldn't die; she was just venting her anger. Now that she's calmed down, she's back to normal and asking questions out of curiosity.

“I know that!” Guan Gu immediately stepped forward and said with certainty.

"It's similar to soul power; the protagonist can absorb soul power to improve themselves!"

"So that means I can upgrade?" Ms. Hu's eyes lit up. "I want to become Dongfang Bubai!"

"Then I'll be Miyamoto Musashi! Or Hattori Hanzo!" Guan Gu said enthusiastically.

"Five organs, half organs? You Japanese people like offal so much? I can't stand large intestines." Ziqiao rambled on.

Upon hearing this, Guan Gu quickly explained, "It's not internal organs, it's the 'treasure map' in Chinese, a polyphonic character. They are all famous samurai and ninjas in Japan, very powerful!"

"Tch, it's just a brawl between a few villages," Lu Ziqiao muttered, rolling his eyes.

"Cough cough."

Seeing that everyone's imagination was getting more and more off track, Gu Yifan was both shocked by their lack of common sense and had no choice but to step in and guide them.

"I took a look. Soul power refers to life force. With soul power, one can be unharmed or even resurrected. Once it's depleted, one is eliminated. It cannot be used to level up."

"Tch, this is boring." Ms. Hu rolled her eyes. "It's starting to look more and more like some kind of low-quality, money-grabbing online game."

That's a good point, Gu Yifan nodded in agreement.

Upon hearing this, Ziqiao quickly checked his remaining soul power.

"Haha, I still have 270 points left."

"Tch, I have six hundred points!" Guan Gu immediately retorted, slapping Zi Qiao in the face.

"Damn it, why is yours double what mine?" Ziqiao protested.

"I only have 200 points, I'm so weak, this isn't fair!" Meijia pouted and reported her soul power.

"I have a thousand points! Hahaha, you're all trash." Hu Yifei exclaimed with delight upon seeing them.

“Me too, six hundred.” Zhanbo raised his hand.

Lin Wanyu glanced at her own and nudged Gu Yifan's shoulder, "Gu Yifan, how much are you?"

"I?"

After a moment's thought, Gu Yifan said, "Eight hundred."

Lin Wanyu immediately smiled and said, "Me too! It's okay, I'll protect you if you're in danger!"

Miss Lin patted her chest loudly, her eyes sparkling beautifully.

"Haha, you have less than me." Ms. Hu immediately interjected, quite pleased that she had outdone Miss Lin.

Gu Yifan smiled without saying a word, because his soul power was marked with...

Soul Power: 4,000

It seems this thing is given based on the identity determined by the system?

However, the amounts ranged from two or three hundred to eight hundred or a thousand.

Why is his so outrageous?
At this moment, Miss Qin smiled slightly, "It seems I also have a thousand."

This will significantly diminish Fei's "first place" status.

After a long while, everyone read the system notification and readily accepted it.

Furthermore, both Lin Wanyu and Guan Gu felt that this was a game and should be very interesting.

"I've finished watching it all, what should I do now?" Guan Gu said, shrugging.

He just finished speaking.

A large gate that appeared out of nowhere came into view.

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

"So you just push the door open?" Zhanbo tentatively stepped forward and placed his hand on the doorknob.

"Let's get started, I can't wait!" Lin Wanyu grabbed Gu Yifan's hand and urged Zhanbo.

at this time
"You guys go ahead, I'm not going."

Lu Ziqiao suddenly plopped down on the ground.

"Hey Ziqiao, what are you doing?" Ms. Hu questioned.

"Hmph." Lu Ziqiao sullenly said, "Why is my soul power only six points? I want to be Lu Bu!"

"Besides, this might be some kind of prank game. I suspect it's something Xiao Hei came up with, so I'm not going to fall for it."

Ziqiao knew that Xiaohei was a hacker and a tech geek.

Xiao Hei always manages to come up with some ingenious ideas.

Maybe this is one of Xiao Hei's pranks.

Of course, Lu Ziqiao wasn't entirely uninterested. His eyes darted around, "Unless you give me six hundred points, no, a thousand points of soul power! Otherwise, I'll just sit here!"

Upon hearing this, Hu Yifei was about to roll up her sleeves and teach Qiao Shi a lesson.

"Never mind Sister Yifei, let's go!" Meijia's eyes lit up, and she grabbed Hu Yifei's arm and headed for the door.

Lu Ziqiao still looked indifferent.

But then Meijia deliberately raised her voice and said, "Anyway, we're all leaving, so Ziqiao will be all alone here with nothing."

“Exactly.” Ms. Hu’s eyes lit up. “There might be punishment if we don’t go in, like being chased by a tiger or something.”

"It's terrifying to be alone here. It's like being a teammate who gets separated from the group in a horror movie. Usually, you're the first one to die, and you die a horrible death."

Ms. Qin, Ms. Hu, and Meijia worked together in unison.

Ziqiao's expression softened slightly, and his eye twitched involuntarily.

"You...you don't think you can scare me like this."

Guan Gu suddenly spoke up, "Zi Qiao, didn't you see the warning? If you don't enter the dungeon, you'll be trapped here forever."

"What?!" Lu Ziqiao finally panicked and quickly glanced over.

"How did this extra one appear? It wasn't there before."

Meijia chuckled and deliberately lowered her voice, "Maybe someone's been watching you the whole time."

Ms. Hu shivered and playfully slapped Meijia.

"Stop it, I'm so angry I get goosebumps. Let's go, let's ignore him."

“That’s right, let Ziqiao fend for himself here,” Gu Yifan said with a smile.

You think you can mess with GM?
Zhanbo pushed open the door, and a burst of light shone brightly behind it.

Urged on by everyone, Zhanbo gritted his teeth and went in first, followed by Gu Yifan, Lin Wanyu, Guan Gu, Ms. Hu, and Ms. Qin.

Meijia stayed behind, watching Lu Ziqiao's constantly shifting expressions, and smiled disdainfully.

"Hmph, Young Master Lü, you can just fend for yourself here! Are you scared or something?"

After saying that, Meijia pushed open the door and went inside.

Lu Ziqiao froze for two seconds, looked at the suddenly empty room, jumped up, and rushed towards the closing door.

"Don't go, wait for me!!!"
