    Chapter 123: The Doomsday Martyr – 6

    Huh? Whose large hand was this on her chest? Her waist was pinned down, too. Well, damn. It seemed she was being taken advantage of.

    No way. She had to feel him back.

    Book Spirit Number One: “Host, seriously, I’m moved to tears. You aren’t even shocked about being groped; your head is just full of getting even. If you don’t succeed in life, no one will~”

    “You flatter me!”

    Ren Xin’s squirming caused the man behind her to tighten his grip. He muttered groggily, “Sleep a little longer. It’s still early!”

    Ren Xin: “…” This scumbag was squeezing this ginseng’s buns, and this ginseng didn’t dare move!

    Book Spirit Number One offered a suggestion: “Xinxin, you should let him experience the true meaning of ‘the chicken flies and the eggs break1‘ (a crushing blow to the groin)!!”

    Ren Xin decided to reject Book Spirit Number One’s suggestion and expressed her desire to go back to sleep!

    Book Spirit Number One: “…”

    Three hours later, Ren Xin was still snoring away when the man behind her woke up. He felt completely refreshed. Since the apocalypse began, he hadn’t been able to sleep normally; he only ever drifted into light, restless dozes. Every attempt at sleep had felt like torture.

    He hadn’t expected to sleep so deeply beside this girl. It seemed he really had found a treasure.

    The man got out of bed, dressed, and left.

    Ren Xin slept a while longer before finally waking up. She let out a long stretch. She was the only one in the tiny room. Where was the handsome gigolo?

    Book Spirit Number One: “He left after using you.”

    Ren Xin: “???”

    Book Spirit Number One continued to act clever. “I couldn’t sleep last night, so I planned out a future for you, Host~ Do you want to hear it?”

    Ren Xin brushed her teeth while refusing. “I don’t!”

    Book Spirit Number One only heard what it wanted to hear. “Since you want to hear it, I’ll give you a brief summary!”

    Ren Xin: “…”

    “I think you and that man are a perfect match. You could totally debut as a couple. I’ve even thought of a group name: Ginseng Attacks the Cock2~ Don’t you feel like it has a lot of cultural depth?”

    Ren Xin: “…” It was just so freaking ridiculous.

    After finishing her morning routine, Ren Xin found herself with nothing to do. She decided to take her invisibility gear and go have a look at the lower levels of the underground base.

    Book Spirit Number One: “Host, when did you get invisibility gear? How come I didn’t know!”

    Ren Xin reminisced. “This gear is from thousands of years ago, back when the Shadow Snake was just a little weakling. After it shed its skin, it just tossed it aside, so I picked it up thinking it might be useful. Who knew? While I was out roaming back then, this thing helped a lot. It instantly became one of my favorite items~ If you like it, just click the link in my bio~”

    Book Spirit Number One: “…” It didn’t dare imagine how foul the Shadow Snake’s cursing must have been back then!

    Shadow Snake: “You stinking ginseng, you literally followed behind me waiting for me to shed! If I was too slow, you’d poke me with a branch! And you have the nerve to say I just tossed it? You have no shame!”

    Ren Xin held her head high, ignoring the outside voices, still radiating confidence.

    She was the environmental protection ambassador of her hometown!

    Ren Xin strolled along, avoiding people, and took the elevator down.

    The 19th floor wasn’t much different from the 20th, though there seemed to be fewer rooms and not many people. There was also a place resembling a cafe where people gathered in small groups, chatting leisurely. Even in this sunless underground, the wealthy were still enjoying themselves.

    18th floor, 17th floor, 16th floor…

    Once she reached the 10th floor, Ren Xin couldn’t go any further. There were many guards at the elevator entrance who would raise their guns at the slightest movement.

    The sound of the elevator descending caught their attention, but they stood down once they saw there was no one inside.

    It seemed there were many secrets below the 10th floor.

    Curious, Ren Xin followed behind a man wearing a hazmat suit, intent on seeing exactly what shameful secrets were hidden deep underground.


    Translator’s Notes


    1. the chicken flies and the eggs break: A play on the idiom ‘ji fei dan da’ (鸡飞蛋打), which literally means ‘the chicken has flown away and the eggs are broken,’ signifying a total loss or a failed endeavor. Here, it is used as a pun for a strike to the male anatomy.
    2. Ginseng Attacks the Cock: A pun on the idiom ‘Renshen Gongji’ (人身攻击), which means ‘personal attack.’ The first two characters ‘Renshen’ (human body) are homophones for ‘Ginseng’ (人参), and the last character ‘Ji’ (attack) is a homophone for ‘Rooster/Cock’ (鸡).
