Just a magical girl who picks up trash

Of course, during this period, more than once people raised doubts or suspected that the other party was just a so-called "shill" or just a joke of those scavengers.

Some people might doubt it if it was a joke, but when someone actually saw the obvious gap in the terms of a certain level of mission on the mercenary union's mission list, they had to believe the urban rumor about this "mission maniac".

Of course, apart from the other party's attitude of constantly accepting tasks as a task maniac, the appearance of the brave 'Youna' is definitely one of the biggest topics that all scavengers talk about.

After all, in today's world, apart from those people with special abilities who still have a high standard of living, it is rare to see such a lively and cute little girl, not to mention her always spotless appearance and the clothes on her body that look more like performance costumes in peacetime than armor.

Whenever someone sees that elf-like figure at midnight, they will vaguely feel that the other party seems out of tune with this world.

Of course, in addition to admiration, there were also some people who failed to approach her and secretly followed her because of various reasons of unwillingness or with some intention. However, no matter what kind of people they were, the final result was that these people never appeared in the scavenger department again, and the little ghost fairy still repeated her "work" day after day.

Time passed by quietly without him noticing. Almost in the blink of an eye, when Yu Huan received a prompt from the system again, he realized that he had unknowingly upgraded the scavenger's level to level B.

The reason why he only realized it now was because after receiving the system prompt and becoming a B-level scavenger, Yu Huan suddenly discovered... there were no more missions?!

Yes, there are no more missions... To be more precise, there are no missions that can be accepted by B-level scavengers. After all, as the difficulty of the missions continues to increase, the targets that need to be conquered are becoming more and more powerful. There can't be too many such targets, otherwise humans would have no place to survive long ago.

In the past few days, Yu Huan has been working almost day and night to complete all the tasks available in the entire city. Even many scavengers have no tasks to take because of this, so that there is no zombie or mutant beast to be seen around the entire city.

Such a terrifying task speed obviously not only shocked all the scavengers, but even the scavenger department had been alarmed several times and had talked to Yu Huan.

And the result... there was no result, because Yu Huan had no intention of paying any attention to these people from beginning to end, just like he treated other NPCs.

After all, completing tasks is just a hobby for her. By the way, the rewards for each task are also the motivation for Yu Huan to continue "playing". As for other things, she obviously doesn't care.

"So now it's... the mission is done, are we going to change cities?"

Looking at the list of tasks that no longer had anything he could accept, and realizing that he had almost reached the highest point of the side quests, Yu Huan immediately asked Yu Yuan on his shoulder:

"By the way, if that were the case, could Mumu keep up?"

He has been staying in this city to complete missions, on the one hand because he is too lazy to move places, and on the other hand because of Mu Mu's existence. After all, Yu Huan has been using the opportunity of completing missions to find silver particles and feeding Mu Mu these days. Now, Mu Mu has obviously grown to a giant level.

And she has been hiding in the vicinity of this city until now, but she has not attacked the city like those mutant plants. Instead, she has been vaguely eliminating the mutant beasts around her and vaguely protecting the entire city.

"OK!"

In response to Yu Huan's question, Yu Yuan immediately nodded and said:

"Mumu is a product of the system. If you want to take her away, just store her in the system space. It's very simple!"

"Hmm, that's it... Very good, then let's get ready and go!"

This side quest has been almost completed, and Yuhuan obviously has no intention of continuing to do it. After all, it is a bit boring after so many days, so this time Yuhuan is ready to change his target.

"Where are you going, sister?"

"Hmm... didn't they say that 'fellow villager' is doing very well these days? How about we go and 'join him'?"

As he said this, Yu Huan's eyes suddenly lit up, and a... good idea suddenly came to his mind!

I just wonder if that fellow villager is easy to get along with, and if he would lend a hand to a fellow villager who is "down and out"?!

155. Doomsday Hero

City No. 9.

This is not a code name, but the name of this city is City No. 9... Well, there is no difference!

The silver spires erected on all sides of the city neatly wrap around the entire city. At first glance, they look like fences trapping birds. However, the residents living in it are very clear that this fence not only restricts people's freedom, but also the desire for survival of all humans living in it.

It is no longer a city of feasting and revelry. Perhaps it can be said that although the city still maintains its foreign trade, many places in it have become dilapidated cities like slums. The people coming and going have long lost their former vitality. There is only a sense of tension in their haste and a sense of crisis for their lives at all times.

This is a world heading towards doomsday, with cruel zombies, ferocious mutant beasts, terrifying mutant plants... almost every one of them can take away the cheap lives of humans at will.

The once extremely advanced thermal weapons were useless in front of these monsters. The various terrifying killing weapons that countries once took pride in were also manipulated and blocked at will like toys in front of these undead monsters.

In just a few years, the environment in which humans live has shrunk to less than 20% due to this sudden change. Compared with the people living in the ruins of another world, the so-called life of the people here is like that of beggars in a garbage dump.

However, even in such a difficult environment, at least the humans in this world managed to survive. Relying on their own efforts, relying on the discovery of silver particles, relying on the emergence of psychics, relying on the research on the weaponization of silver particles, and so on, they finally succeeded in defending the last 20% of the territory and obtained this last and unspeakable pure land.

When I woke up in this strange city, the first thing I saw was the dense black lines above my head. I looked around and saw that I was in a cold and damp alley. I was covered with a worn quilt and lying casually on a mat that looked like a straw mat, which was even damp.

When Liuyun came to his senses, this was the scene he saw.

what's going on?

Why are you here?

Where is this place?!

Questions one after another, which were necessary for a time traveler, flashed through his mind one after another. After an unknown amount of time, a cooing sound brought him back to his senses from his daze. He then had to tidy up his obviously weak and somewhat abnormal body and walked outside.

What happened next?

Well... this is a common problem for most time travelers. He also obtained his own golden finger, and because it is a "soul travel" in the time travel series, he was lucky enough to obtain some memories from this body:

Doomsday, zombies, mutant beasts, mutant plants, silver particles... what a doomsday world routine!

After finally having no choice but to believe that he had really traveled through time, Liuyun could only accept this heart-wrenching fact with sadness.

There are no computers or mobile phones here... Well, actually they do exist, but unfortunately there is no signal or electricity and they are useless, so it's no different from having them.

Then, the most important thing is the shortage of food... Yes, this is the key point. Not to mention the junk food such as potato chips, cola, hamburgers, etc. in his previous life, even the most practical steamed buns, rice, fried potatoes, etc. have obviously become luxuries in this world.

Having drifted into such a world, to be honest, Liuyun’s first thought at that moment was not how to survive in such a world, but: why not just commit suicide!

Yes, this was his first thought at the time. After all, for a world that is despairing in itself, it is natural for a person from a healthy society to feel such unacceptable emotions for a while.

Fortunately, just when Liuyun had this thought in his mind, the benefit from being a time traveler: the golden finger awakened at this moment!

Yes, the awakening was so sudden, almost without any sign. The existence called the System appeared in his mind and made an extremely grand self-introduction:

'Doomsday Hero System!'

Well, it is high-end, classy and also very consistent with the current system settings. This is exactly the power that Liuyun relies on to gain a foothold in this world, and it is also the only power system on which he depends for survival.

After obtaining such a system, it was obvious that his original hopeless mood was injected with a small shot of adrenaline. With the help of his own second-year soul that had been dormant for many years, Liuyun finally decisively accepted the settings of his own "system" and decided to aspire to become a... hero in this doomsday world!

Well, of course, the first thing he has to do as a hero is to find something to eat so that he can survive successfully.

Since ancient times, all systems have been pitfalls!

Liuyun, who had read countless books in his previous life, naturally understood this principle very well. However, it was obvious that the system he obtained was not the legendary "system pit", but a real system that existed for its owner. This was the judgment Liuyun made after a period of trial and error.

As for how the experiment was conducted... well, let’s not talk about that dark history!

In short, it is precisely with the help of such a system plus the power granted by the system that, after experiencing the initial 'Novice Village Story', Liuyun was able to awaken his superpowers, fight monsters and upgrade, and later obtain system rewards, system upgrades, and so on... Ultimately, Liuyun achieved considerable growth bit by bit.

Now, it has been three years since I came to this world. Three years is neither long nor short. It is obviously enough for a person to fully adapt to another world and life in another environment.

And during these three years, Liuyun was very lucky and made many friends and relatives, but he also had his own enemies and foes.

All kinds of love, hatred, and vengeance are constantly being played out in this city number nine, just like the template of the protagonist in the novel. Unfortunately, Liuyun is undoubtedly the protagonist. Therefore, he can almost always turn danger into safety, and by the way, give the villain an unforgettable and profound lesson or even kill him directly.

From having a little compassion in the beginning, to becoming the captain of a mature scavenger team after the end of the world, who retained his original intention but lost his kindness, this mental journey is an extremely rich experience in Liuyun's life.

"It's the third year... Another year has passed~~"

On the city streets at night, on the top balcony of a huge building more than 20 stories high, a young man wearing black sportswear and a large hood slightly covering his eyebrows from the back of his sweatshirt sat on the top of the building, drinking cheap beer in his hand while looking at the "bright lights and feasting" city below, and couldn't help but let out such an exclamation as he opened his mouth.

At first glance, the face beneath the hood looked like that of a pretty boy of sixteen or seventeen years old, but when he opened his mouth he uttered such vicissitudes of life words, his dark eyes reflecting the light of the city in front of him. At this moment, obviously no one knew what this boy was thinking.

"System, are there no tasks tonight?"

The beer in his mouth gave off an unpleasant smell, even with a hint of soil in its taste. However, Liuyun, who had long been accustomed to this taste, drank it all easily, and then asked this question to the air in front of him.

"Task Searching: There is currently no mission available!"

The electronic sound of the system rang in his ears. The mechanical voice without any emotion was undoubtedly a good refresher, instantly clearing Liuyun's mind.

Of course, the next thing after Qingming was that he couldn't help but let out a wry smile and complained to the system:

"Alas~~ Other people's systems are either gentle and kind, or cute little sisters, big sisters, little fairies, etc. If that doesn't work, even an intelligent partner would be great. But why is it that my system... is just a robot!"

He had uttered this somewhat sarcastic voice countless times, but no matter how many times he said it, it was obvious that the rigid system would not answer his meaningless question, so the so-called complaints were actually just his own monologue.

But what can be done?

In this world of doomsday, there are obviously no more people like him who can maintain an optimistic attitude because they own a system and come from a peaceful era.

Even in this city, Liuyun actually has his own social circle, among which there are even many "close female friends".

However, in this doomsday environment, these people's thoughts have obviously changed from beginning to end, which makes Liuyun always feel out of tune with those people at times.

It was as if he was an alien who did not belong to this world. Even though he had tried his best to adapt to the life here, the completely different feelings coming from the depths of his soul would undoubtedly make him feel the clear... breath of loneliness every time!

"A hero of justice... Even in reality, he's an incredibly lonely existence, let alone in this garbage world!"

With such an exclamation, he stretched out his hand to touch the object on his waist that looked like a camera and a belt. Then the boy loosened his hand and let the bottle of wine fall casually. After celebrating his 20th birthday today, he stood up without any regrets... and walked towards the only door on the balcony.

It looks like there's no 'crime' happening tonight, and there are missions to be carried out tomorrow, so it's time to rest!

156. Heroes and Brave Men

The Doomsday Hero System, as the name suggests... is a very, very weird and nonsensical (Liuyun's review) system.

The system's capabilities are simple: in addition to the most basic supplies of food, clothing, housing and transportation, its biggest function is to allow the host to obtain props by completing tasks issued by the system, or to exchange the points obtained for corresponding props, abilities, etc. in the mall.

Sounds pretty simple and nothing wrong with it, right?

After all, in such a doomsday world, this system that can increase personal strength seems to be the most perfect choice no matter how you look at it, doesn't it?

However, you have to know that in the middle of this doomsday system... there are the two words "hero"!

What is a hero?

Those who perform good deeds that ordinary people are not prepared to do, and those who take care of the good things that others avoid, are heroes!

Do just things, be a just person... In short, that's what it means.

Liuyun obtained such a system, and the tasks of the system were very simple: help the weak and fight against the strong, uphold justice... basically, these were the tasks that could appear.

Then you have to know that this is the end of the world. What is the end of the world? It is a world where the rules are completely broken and the social order is completely destroyed. It can be said to be a crazy world.

What will be the consequences of seeking justice in this crazy world?

Well, this can be clearly seen from the fact that Liuyun has changed from a passionate young man to a worried old man (system evaluation), and from a brave and righteous little hero to a man who wears a hood every day and acts secretly like Batman, Spider-Man, etc. in the dark night.

During the first year's mission, Liuyun was badly cheated because of the "sense of justice" from the system. It was also through these repeated life and death experiences, betrayal, fickleness, deception, etc. that Liuyun's character was almost reshaped.

If the system wasn't a 'hero' system, it wouldn't be surprising if Liuyun had turned evil two years ago.

And now, although he is still a dark night hero who does good deeds according to the system's arrangements, his heroic heart has obviously been stained with some darkness, and therefore has undergone some changes.

Well... if I were to say specifically what the change was, it would probably be that he went from an innocent little spider to a punisher who fights violence with violence.

But all in all, at least while retaining the last piece of pure land in his heart, he traveled between various cities looking for his own "belonging". On the one hand, he took on tasks as a scavenger, collected wages, maintained his life, etc. during the day, and on the other hand, he exercised justice and maintained "public order" at night. This is Liuyun's life now.

Although it cannot be said to be very exciting and open, it is at least a way for him to relieve boredom, and Liuyun himself also feels a little satisfied because of it.

Of course, although he switches between the two identities of day and night, and his life is extremely fulfilling because of the tasks from both sides, whenever it is late at night and he has nothing to do, Liuyun still can't help feeling a trace of loneliness hidden deep in his heart.

Being a stranger in a foreign land, he misses his family all the more during every festive season... Of course, the family here does not refer to his deceased relatives, but his former hometown. In his small bedroom, there are piles of instant noodle buckets and various action figures, and the most important thing is the computer that he spent a lot of money to configure specifically for playing games and live streaming.

Whenever he thought of this, Liuyun would undoubtedly feel irritated and unable to sleep.

It was the same tonight, as usual, it was late at night and everyone was asleep, but he could only lie on his bed with his eyes wide open, looking at the pitch-black environment in front of him, and all he could hear was the harmonious sounds coming from the wall below, separated by a floor, from time to time.

"..."

I have to say that sometimes having too good hearing can be a problem. Thanks to the system, his body has been super strengthened in the past three years. If it were in his previous life, he would definitely be at the level of Captain XX. However, it is precisely because of this extraordinary power that it sometimes brings him some troubles.

For example, now...

"Food shortages, lack of sleep, and zombies all around us. In this apocalyptic world... where on earth do you find so much energy to waste on something like this?"

He stared at the ceiling expressionlessly, his dead-eyed eyes clearly revealing the envy of a nerd. At the same time, he uttered such complaints. The next second, Liuyun sat up in bed with a grunt... This 'harmonious' sound lasted for over an hour. How could such a passionate young man still sleep under such circumstances?!

He immediately got up from the bed with some distress, and then returned to his balcony again... He had obviously found a top-floor house to live in for the sake of quietness, and even spent nearly three months of his savings from scavenging for it, but he never expected to encounter such a situation.

“Ahhh~~ This is so annoying, so annoying, so annoying…Is there nothing I can do?!”

A complaining voice uttered from the young man's mouth. Compared to the melancholy figure drinking alone before, he now clearly had more of the youth's temperament. And as if in response to this temperament, the next second after the young man's complaining voice fell, the system's voice suddenly rang from his ears at the perfect time:

"Emergency mission reminder!"

'Task type: robbery, involving obscene behavior!'

'Mission direction: Inner circle of the silver barrier in the west of the city.'

'Mission Requirements: Host, please arrive at the scene within three minutes, rescue the robbed girl and eliminate the robber (0/5)'

Mission Reward: Hero Points +300, Free Attribute Points +3, Item: Rainbow Stone x 1
