Surviving in a Collapsed World, Is Something Wrong?

..............

"All right."

Then, several more hours passed.

After changing his clothes, Jiang Ming slowly stood up. He looked at the full-length mirror next to the shoe cabinet and confirmed his current appearance again.

The red and white furry outfit, long boots and a belt, a red and white hat on his head and a large bag in his hand.

Yes, if you live in the Far East, you will recognize it at a glance. It is a perfect Santa Claus style outfit.

"It's quite appropriate."

...............

"First, Kiana..."

Jiang Ming thought so as he carefully came to Kiana's room. However...actually, with his ability of transformation, he didn't need to be so cautious.

When he walked into Kiana's room after a long absence, he found Kiana lying on her back in the middle of the big bed, breathing soundly in her sleep.

If he were a normal man, he might feel his heartbeat speed up slightly because of the fact that he was stepping into the room of a sleeping girl, but Kiana did not poke fun at Jiang Ming's orientation towards his partner.

There are only two types of people he likes.

One type is gentle, quiet, slightly mature, and won’t cause trouble to others, like Mei and Sakura.

The other type is the queen type who is overbearing, superior, ruthless, and taciturn, and likes to trample everything under her feet, such as the Herrscher of Thunder or the Herrscher of Void.

The reason why I like the first one is that I enjoy the feeling of taking care of others or being taken care of by others. The former is because I am willing to give everything for the person I truly love, and the latter is because I can deeply feel that I am being loved.

And the second is... it's great to be able to feel comfortable without moving.

Uh... Jiang Ming walked slowly to Kiana's bed. Compared to this white-haired sleeping beauty, he was actually more concerned about the fact that Kiana didn't cover her stomach with a quilt when she slept.

"Ah...kicked the quilt..."

After Jiang Ming said this in a low voice, he pulled the quilt piled at Kiana's feet onto her shoulders. Kiana moaned softly, rubbed the pillow and turned over, facing Jiang Ming, but did not wake up.

Jiang Ming saw Kiana's silly look, smiled bitterly, and looked at her pillow. There was a piece of paper folded in half, which was written according to his instructions, and stated the gift he wanted.

"Let me see...what's written on it?"

Jiang Ming opened the note and read its contents in the moonlight outside the window.

[I hope Santa Claus can help me make the Eye of God that Jiang Ming gave me shine again! ]

"Um... Eye of God?"

When Jiang Ming saw the contents on the note, he discovered that next to the place where the note was originally placed was the Eye of the Thunder Elemental God that he had given to Kiana.

At the beginning, it actually emitted a faint purple light, but as time went on, it seemed to become somewhat dim because it had been away from its owner for a long time.

Jiang Ming held the Eye of God, and after a while, the Eye of God emitted a faint purple light again, but this was obviously not a long-term solution. However, this did not pose a problem for Jiang Ming. With a slight operation, the Eye of God emitted a purple light that was even brighter than before, and it could even be used for close-range lighting.

"Fortunately, I didn't wake up Kiana..."

Jiang Ming, who had realized his wish, did not intend to leave immediately. Although Kiana was acting like a good girl just for the Christmas present, it was still worthy of praise. After all, she helped himself and Mei a lot. Jiang Ming decided to leave something for her.

After making some adjustments to restore the Eye of God to its original brightness and placing it in the Christmas stocking prepared by Kiana, Jiang Ming went to the next person's room.

...............

The next place to go is Sakura and Rin's room.

By the way, Hiyamaru usually stays in the Jizo-mikoto, but because today is Christmas, she chose to sleep in Sakura and Rin's room.

Jiang Ming opened the door quietly as he did before and walked into the dormitory with low footsteps.

The two sisters were lying neatly on the bed, sleeping in a proper posture, but Rin was held in Sakura's arms, and from her posture, she looked very comfortable.

And Hiyomaru was held in Rin's arms, such a warm scene could not help but make people smile.

"Okay, what gifts do they want...?"

Jiang Ming opened the notes they had placed on the bedside, and it read...

Sakura: [I hope Santa Claus can rest early]

Lin: [I want my sister to appear in brother Jiang Ming's bed tomorrow morning! Please! ]

Hiyamaru: [I want to see my sister! Of course...if I can't kill her...I hope you can let me have a dream where I am with my sister.]

"..."

Anyway...let's look at them one by one.

First is Ying's. By the way, ■ seems to have completely erased the words that were written. Jiang Ming shines a light from behind and finds that the words that were originally written are [Ming]

"Hey, what is this called..."

Jiang Ming felt helpless about Ying's concern for him, and couldn't help but smile bitterly. He turned his head to look at Lin, and veins bulged on his forehead. He really wanted to pick up Lin and give him a good beating.

What kind of wish is this?! What does it mean when there is a cute symbol of "please" at the end?! It's not cute at all!!

Jiang Ming appeared calm on the surface, but in fact, his heart was racing. He turned his gaze to Fei Yuwan again.

"......"

His expression suddenly calmed down. The former could indeed be achieved, but he didn't know the exact location of the paradise in the afterlife, which was a bit troublesome. On the other hand, the latter seemed even more troublesome.

Just as Jiang Ming was thinking about whether to attack the World Snake Headquarters in the middle of the night, the system's voice rang in his head.

[Host, leave this to me]

"Hmm? You can do it? The first and the second?"

[Actually, both are fine, but the second one is relatively more convenient. Host, why don't you leave her a note? Just say that one day, she will definitely be able to see her sister.]

"Well, okay, then I'll leave the second one to you."

【learn】

As soon as he finished speaking, a small ball of white light suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Ming, and then quickly drilled into Fei Yuwan's body.

Although Jiang Ming couldn't enter Fei Yuwan's dream, as long as he saw Fei Yuwan's unconscious smile, he would be able to guess that her wish had come true, right?

As for the remaining two...Jiang Ming decided to take a look at them last.

Just when Jiang Ming was about to leave, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a note out of the corner of his eye. It seemed that he didn't want others to find it, so he hid it very well.

When Jiang Ming opened it, the corners of his mouth twitched.

[Now, you can kiss my lips as much as you want, ████ Santa Claus~~]

"..."

Judging from the handwriting on the three notes just now, this note was definitely written by Lin. As expected, how could this quirky girl who was full of dirty talk about herself and her sister not realize that she was Santa Claus?

The four words that were painted over were [Brother Jiang Ming].

Sweat broke out on his cheeks and he looked at Sakura's face again. Her skin was as smooth as white porcelain and her lips were like flower petals. The sakura-haired girl was breathing quietly, and she was as beautiful as Sleeping Beauty.

If we don't consider that Sakura will wake up in the middle, or even if she wakes up, she won't resist at all.

Maybe now he can really do what Lin said. The evil thought that he had never thought of until now suddenly flashed through Jiang Ming's mind, making him swallow.

But after staying for a long time, he chose to leave.

..............

Jiang Ming then went to see Ji Zi's wish, but when he saw that it was a precious red wine, he returned it. He really thought of himself as Santa Claus...

Although this wish can come true, it is not now, so Jiang Ming went to other people's rooms.

For example, Bronya, Yuexia and Fu Hua, what they want respectively is a better graphics card, a beautiful hat and something else.

Jiang Ming had already prepared the hat under the moon. He had placed several hats of different styles in the system space in advance, and he could just take out any one of them to satisfy her wish.

However, this was too monotonous, so Jiang Ming placed the cross [Imitation of Judas·Blood Embrace] that the system had given him as a reward before he met Yuexia, next to Yuexia's bed.

Seeing the note left by Fu Hua, Jiang Ming was relieved. After all, Fu Hua had integrated into their group and did not seem so rigid. So Jiang Ming left her a pair of Red Kite and Black Kite dolls that he had asked the store to customize long ago.

Bronya's wish for a graphics card was also left for last by Jiang Ming.

Christmas Fun (Act 3)

"Okay... Then next is Theresa's room..."

"Ok?"

Jiang Ming, who was walking towards Theresa's room, suddenly found that the door was half open. This was very wrong. After all, they had already agreed to leave the door only half open to allow Santa Claus to enter the room directly.

Excluding the possibility that wind could push the door open, there is no other way to open the door, so there is only one result.

Someone other than Jiang Ming entered Theresa's room. Considering this possibility, Jiang Ming floated up directly and came to Theresa's door in a way that could not make any sound.

And when he opened the door completely and saw the scene in front of him, even Jiang Ming, who had wiped out six Judgment-level Honkai beasts at once in the simulation training room, couldn't help but open his eyes wide and his pupils trembled.

Just because... a huge Santa Claus appeared in front of him. How big was it...? Maybe because of the doll's costume, it was almost a little taller than Jiang Ming.

That huge sharp mouth and fangs looked so weird in the dark that it made people feel scary before they felt cute.

At this time, the Santa Claus seemed to have noticed Jiang Ming and walked towards him slowly, his steps frighteningly heavy.

"......"

Jiang Ming silently displayed the Eight Desolations Sword in his right hand. When he was about to chop it with the sword, the Santa Claus seemed to be very scared and waved his hands. Then he gently took off the hood on his head. A blond man with a relatively handsome face appeared in front of him with a faint smile on his face.

"Otto...?"

Jiang Ming whispered the name of the man in front of him, and Otto nodded silently.

But Jiang Ming would not let him off and still raised his hand to chop with the sword. Otto's facial expression suddenly twisted and he quickly walked to Jiang Ming's side.

While gently putting down Jiang Ming's right hand holding the sword, he half pushed and half pulled Jiang Ming out of Theresa's room and into the living room.

.................

"My old friend, even if you are excited to see me here, there is no need to be this excited, right?"

Compared with his previous panic, Otto returned to his usual calmness.

"There's no need to be hostile to me at this time. After all, we should be like-minded companions at this time."

"Hoho↗? If you were willing to wear a normal Santa Claus costume or reindeer costume like mine, I'd be a little less wary."

"It's just that you, the Christmas hooligan...you are showing your big fangs in the middle of the night, and your eyes are glowing red. Who are you trying to scare to death?"

"Don't say that, my old friend. Compared to the two you mentioned, maybe Theresa prefers my type."

"Since you've prepared a gift for Theresa, why don't I prepare one? Otherwise, she'll be confused by two unrelated gifts, although that possibility is very small."

"That's right, my friend. Thank you for helping me. Oh, by the way, if you need any help, please let me know. Destiny will do its best to repay you."

In response to Otto's thanks, Jiang Ming didn't hesitate and directly made his request.

"Well, then I want a 4090 graphics card, plus a case of red wine, no, two cases, the kind you usually drink will do."

"......"

"You are all..."

"In return, I will help you find the Second God's Key. You should need it very much, and the world also needs it."

“——!?”

Otto was stunned for a moment when he heard this. His mood gradually changed from a little surprise to confusion, and from confusion to sharpness, and finally relaxed again. Although he did not express it on his face, Jiang Ming could feel it.

"Haha, thank you very much, my friend."

Otto didn't ask any more questions, but walked towards the window with a smile.

"I have put the gift Theresa wanted into the socks she prepared. Old friend, just..."

Before he finished speaking, Otto fell straight down because he was wearing a huge Christmas costume and didn't notice the sofa next to his feet. However, Otto's reaction was amazing. He didn't let himself fall on his face, but turned around quickly and chose to lie on the floor tiles.

Fortunately, he didn't make much noise because he was wearing a heavy doll costume. However, his expressionless face and a slightly confused look paired with the Christmas Homo costume created a huge contrast for some reason.

If I take a photo now and spread it, I'm afraid it will cause a huge storm...

But unfortunately, Jiang Ming is not the kind of person who likes to play pranks, and Otto doesn't care about this kind of thing at all. Even if he cares, this picture will never be circulated unless he uses the Key of Corrosion, Jizo Soul.
