Game invasion, starting with being bound to Liu Tianxian

With the right equipment, Yang Mi and Reyiba are good enough to solo the rabbit.

It's very dangerous to farm slimes if you can't wear level 3 equipment.

Li Shu left Liu Yifei behind to keep an eye on them, just in case something unexpected happened.

Let them level up with the rabbits first.

Li Shu himself, however, took Guan Meilin with him and went deeper into the area.

Based on previous experience, with my level 3 equipment, I can easily solo higher-level monsters.

With 37,000 experience points, farming slimes alone would be exhausting.

For safety reasons, bring Guan Meilin along first; she might be able to help you in a critical moment.

Once you're sure you can solo it, then let her go back.

With her as a priest and Liu Yifei by her side, they could easily carry Yang Mi and the other two through slime farming.

Fortunately, Reiba is a Paladin, so she can be used as a tank.

This will make the upgrade faster.

Let's upgrade Yang Mi and the others first.

Guan Meilin followed closely behind Li Shu, flashlight in hand.

These three islands don't have proper names, so let's just call this island Island B for now.

Island B is the largest of the three islands and has the densest vegetation.

In the woods at night, the faint calls of unknown animals could be heard.

Guan Meilin felt a chill and instinctively moved closer to Li Shu. Then she took the initiative to start a conversation, saying, "Li Shu, have you ever considered that if the apocalypse really happens, I feel that staying on the island would be quite nice?"

Li Shu turned his head and asked her what she meant.

The road was difficult to walk on, covered with dense root systems like those in a tropical rainforest. Guan Meilin took the opportunity to hug Li Shu's arm for support, and then said, "Think about it, the land is full of monsters, right? You yourself said that in order to level up, you'll inevitably have to fight for monsters."

"Then it means killing people, it means fighting to the death. If that's the case, it's better to stay on this deserted island. As long as we can get food and water, it might be a bit boring, but don't you think it's like a paradise?"

Li Shu thought for a moment.

Don't say it, really don't say it.

The island may be too small, so the monsters that spawn there are not high level.

Once you reach a certain level, the island will be absolutely safe.

Food and drink will definitely be a big problem, but we can rely on ourselves.

In various post-apocalyptic films and television dramas, people even actively build doomsday bases.

If we could get a batch of seeds, cultivate the land on the island, and try to be self-reliant, creating a Robinson Crusoe story, it really could become a paradise, just as Guan Meilin said.

"Sister Lin, are you... scared?"

Li Shu asked softly.

It's not surprising that Guan Meilin had such thoughts.

She never married and had no children.

She's getting old, and although her mother is still alive, at her age, there's not much to regret if she were to pass away unexpectedly.

For a woman nearing sixty to have to struggle and level up alongside young people is not necessarily what she wants.

It would be better to find a secluded paradise, far from the strife, and live out one's days in solitude.

Guan Meilin sighed softly, subconsciously hugging Li Shu's arm tightly. She looked up and smiled bitterly, saying, "How can I not be afraid? Feifei always says she wants to go back to the mainland. She's still young. She can work hard, find her family, and do what she wants to do."

"And what about me?"

Guan Meilin countered, her still stunningly beautiful face filled with bewilderment, and said, "I'm already this old. To be honest, I just want to peacefully await death. So even if I return to land, what can I do?"

"I'm all alone, with no one to take care of me. How am I supposed to survive? Who will care about me?"

"Before, there were laws and I had money, so I could live a comfortable life. But now, money is useless. To anyone, I'm just a burden."

"Li Shu, do you understand what I mean?"

She stared intently at Li Shu, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The system kept sending notifications.

Guan Meilin's favorability rating skyrocketed from 15 to 23.

Li Shu was stunned.

I never expected Guan Meilin to say these things.

It seems she had already figured it out, but because Liu Yifei was there, she kept it to herself.

They only brought it up now that they were alone together.

Moreover, she's practically playing her cards right; she just wants a promise, wants me to take care of her.

It's perfectly normal for her to have such thoughts.

The condition of the mother and younger brother is unknown; they may have died unexpectedly.

Even if he were alive, his mother was older than him, and his younger brother had a family to take care of.

She couldn't rely on them.

She has good friends, but in this apocalypse, as she said, she is a burden, and who will care about her?

On the contrary, I spent the entire two days helping her.

Coming to his senses, Li Shu quickly smiled and said, "I've already called you 'sister,' so don't worry, if no one else cares about you, I will."

Just for the sake of goodwill, Li Shu couldn't refuse.

Moreover, deep down, Li Shuzhen still viewed Guan Meilin through a beautiful lens.

After all, she's Aunt Thirteen.

A glint of light flashed in Guan Meilin's eyes, and she hugged Li Shu with emotion.

She pressed her head against Li Shu's chest and whispered, "Li Shu, thank you."

The favorability rating actually increased by 8 points in one go, reaching 31.

Li Shu then understood that she might not be acting; she might genuinely be worried about her future.

Once you make a commitment, goodwill will naturally increase.

She wrapped her arms around Li Shu's waist and didn't let go immediately.

It's said online that men are animals that think with their lower bodies.

This is true.

You know, even in this atmosphere, we're still talking about serious business.

Moreover, Guan Meilin is 57 years old, a full 30 years older than me.

Logically speaking, Li Shu shouldn't have had those kinds of thoughts.

The two embraced tightly, and in the cool night breeze, Li Shu could feel the soft warmth emanating from Guan Meilin's body.

And it's true she's 57, but Zhang Yuan said that the old A8 will always be the A8.

So, instinctively, Li Shu felt something.

Guan Meilin, being a very perceptive person, immediately noticed Li Shu's unusual behavior and subconsciously let go.

He then quickly glanced down at Li Shu's lower body.

This left Li Shu extremely embarrassed. He stammered, trying to explain, but Guan Meilin just smiled, still charming as ever, and said nonchalantly, "Alright, it's perfectly normal. Besides, it just shows that I still have charm."

She smiled and tugged at Li Shu, then continued on their way.

Her eyes and brows still exude charm.

Li Shu couldn't help but smile bitterly to himself.

This makes me feel like a complete novice in front of Guan Meilin.

After calming down, Li Shu said, "Sister Lin, don't think too much about it. Just like me, we'll take it one step at a time. Who knows what the future holds?"

Guan Meilin smiled and nodded: "Okay, I'll do whatever you say."

As they were talking, a monster appeared ahead.

A pig.

It resembles a wild boar, with two sharp tusks, and its eyes appear red in the darkness.

Wild boar, level 5.

Health Points: 420

Li Shu immediately became alert.

Furthermore, attention was paid to the wild boar's health.

The rabbit got 50 points, and the slime got 150, which is a three-fold increase.

Based on the level range, a level 5 monster should have around 450 HP.

The armored crab I encountered before had 480 health points.

The number of wild boars was slightly lower, only 420.

Li Shu couldn't help but wonder if this was a monster with high attack power.

Reasonable.

The Ironclad Crab is defensively oriented, with weak attack but high defense and high health.

Wild boars, on the other hand, are inherently aggressive animals; their high attack power naturally results in lower health.

"Sister Lin, please heal me."

Li Shu glanced at his attributes and quickly rushed forward.

Health: 314, Mana: 80

Physical damage: 71

Defense: 55

It should be fine.

Guan Meilin quickly got into the zone, gripping her staff tightly, ready to heal at any moment.

However, as her gaze followed Li Shu, she couldn't help but feel a little restless.

That hug just now had a jolt to Li Shu and touched her deeply.

Some emotions that had been dormant for many years seemed to be awakened deep within me, and I couldn't help but think that Li Shu was actually a pretty good person.

Guan Meilin didn't care about her appearance.

Like Liu Yifei, she also values ​​a man's character.

Li Shu is upright.

Most importantly, he is reliable enough. Being around Li Shu naturally gives one a sense of security.

And a sense of security is precisely what Guan Meilin lacks most.

My parents divorced when I was young, and my father didn't care about me.

He struggled on his own, supporting his mother and younger brother.

Guan Meilin lacked affection from men, so when she was young, she preferred to choose partners who were older than her, hoping to be taken care of.

"What a pity."

Guan Meilin whispered to herself.

The age gap was too big, and she didn't dare to think about it.
