Apocalyptic Reincarnation: Start with a 30-million Bonus

Facing even tougher conditions than feeding pigs, she has encountered much more throughout this year in this apocalyptic world.

Step by step, this journey had tempered her haughty temperament, allowing her to mature and become more understanding.

She realized that the world doesn't revolve around her and that in today's world, no one will indulge her as before.

Back in Safe City, her ignorant temper almost got her killed. If it weren't for the protection of Bai Jie and others, she probably wouldn't have survived until now.

After facing last winter's food crisis, she understood how difficult it was to survive in the outside world.

Looking at the man in front of her, despite finding him somewhat annoying, it was he who fed the pigs.

Yet, having seen him return to the base covered in blood several times, she understood that she could safely stay in the Big Camphor Tree base, have three meals a day, and eat her fill.

Being able to live without worrying about food and having her own room

was incredibly difficult.

Just as the man said, nobody owes anybody anything; everything you enjoy comes from someone else's efforts, so you must contribute as well.

Feeding the pigs was the first task where she felt utterly helpless and useless.

Born with a fear of pigs, she wanted to prove herself and make contributions, scared that she would be a disappointment without contributing anything.

She wanted to enjoy her food and warm room with a clear conscience.

So, she had been persistently dealing with these pigs.

Though scared, she was continually overcoming her fear.

The recent incident, when she accidentally knocked over the pig feed, causing the pigs to rush over,

scared her.

Xiao Shi saw Li Yu watching her, waiting for her reply.

Xiao Shi clenched her teeth, her face stubborn, and said, "It's nothing, I just accidentally knocked over the pig feed just now."

Li Yu smiled at her, knowing her tenacity and that she wouldn't complain.

He then looked at the pigs and said, "Not bad at all, you've raised the pigs to be really plump and fat, a job well done indeed; you've put your heart into it."

Despite being young and previously haughty, Xiao Shi wasn't a bad person.

Otherwise, she wouldn't be thinking about making contributions to rightfully enjoy the food and live in a house.

The frown on her face turned into a happy and proud smile.

Li Yu found her expression amusing.

He knew this girl came from a notable background, but now it was the apocalypse.

It was important that the girl was fundamentally good-hearted; in the apocalypse, not many could maintain their inherent kindness.

Thinking to tease her a bit, Li Yu said, "Then next, take charge of the neighboring cattle and sheep as well. From now on, you will be responsible for the pigs, cattle, and sheep.

Soon I'll let you lead in slaughtering the pigs."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shi was stunned.

Even though she was now able to handle pigs, it had required a great deal of effort and courage to overcome her fear. Does she have to continue?

Seeing Li Yu's skeptical look,

Xiao Shi immediately responded, "Yes, I can. Whatever you ask me to do, I can do it."

No sooner had she spoken than she regretted it.

She really didn't want to feed pigs anymore, let alone more cattle and sheep.

Considering the pig feed had to be prepared early each morning by brewing, it was particularly troublesome, and since there were many pigs, she had to constantly shuttle the feed to the troughs.

Xiao Shi's cheeks were red, but she remained silent.

Li Yu watched her and suddenly laughed.

Quite stubborn, indeed.

He laughed heartily.

Hearing his laughter, Xiao Shi felt even more bitter inside, thinking, please don't play me like this...

Was there more work for her to do?

Suddenly, her look towards this man was a mix of defiance and admiration, but mostly, she appeared pitiful...

Playing her like this.

She really couldn't take it anymore...

Seeing her like this, Li Yu said with a smile:

"Alright, alright, I'll stop teasing you.

Let me just tell you straight, An Ya told me, she said you are afraid of pigs and have always been reluctant to raise them.

Me, I didn't intentionally make you raise pigs, after all, I also don't know what you can do, you know.

Now everyone at the base has things to do, you can't just watch others working.

I won't allow it.

An Ya told me, you talked to her and said you wanted to work with her on the farming part.

Is that true?"

Hearing what Li Yu said, Xiao Shi looked at him in surprise, she hadn't expected Li Yu would say such things.

She didn't expect An Ya would talk to Li Yu about this, and even more didn't expect, from Li Yu's attitude now, it seemed like he was going to agree.

If he wasn't going to agree, he probably wouldn't have brought it up now, nor spoken to her in such a manner.

Xiao Shi's heart leapt with joy, but then she immediately thought about the pigs she was leaving behind...

Her face fell immediately and said: "What about the pigs if I leave?"

Li Yu didn't hear her directly answer, instead asking about what would happen to the pigs. This instantly raised his regard for Xiao Shi.

She's quite responsible, this young girl.

Li Yu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there are many people in the base who can raise pigs, I can ask Wang Cheng or Zhou Guowei to take over. They have experience."

Hearing Li Yu say this, she was convinced that Li Yu was not messing with her, her heart leapt with joy.

So she said: "Yes, I want to go work on farming with An Ya. Thank you."

She hadn't expected that Li Yu would really consider her thoughts and be able to switch her position.

Thus, her gaze towards Li Yu carried much more gratitude. This man, apart from his looks.

Actually, he's pretty decent.

Strong and capable, he securely maintains the safety of the base.

Actually, about feeding the pigs, Li Yu had just said, it really wasn't targeted at her, it was just that she was not useful, lacking any specific skills.

Under such uselessness on her part, to still allow her to stay and even care about her emotions.

This man, he really is quite good...

Xiao Shi was internally strategizing herself, a self-capture tactic.

No wonder, Li Yu's attitude toward her had not been very good before, especially the first time, his cold demeanor had scared her.

This sudden care and concern caught her off guard.

Even the small grievances she had towards Li Yu before had vanished, now she empathized more with Li Yu.

Xiao Shi thought: Director Li also has it tough, with so many people in the base, it must be hard to look after everyone, me being so useless, it was already nice to have me feed the pigs...

Li Yu looked at this young girl who was again lost in thought.

He stretched out his hand, waving it in front of her and said: "Wake up."

"Ying~" Xiao Shi woke with a start, seeing Li Yu's handsome face, her cheeks suddenly turned red: This man, really handsome.

His eyebrows and eyes are truly attractive. Deep eyes, as if they could pierce through her heart.

Li Yu was somewhat helpless.

Then said: "Alright, you go find An Ya tomorrow, she will arrange things for you to do.

Just one thing you need to be clear about, changing roles is not a joke, you must discover what you can do, or what you are skilled at.

You can't just work with An Ya for two days and then say you want to do something else, understood?"

Xiao Shi heard Li Yu's words, nodded slightly and said: "I know."

Li Yu looked at her again, then said: "Alright, I won't say more. How much pig feed is left on your side that hasn't been brought over, I'll help you."

Xiao Shi shook her head and said: "No need, Director Li, I can do it myself, you go focus on other things."

Li Yu gave her a glance, then went to the place where pig feed was cooked, started handling the pig feed, and then helped carry it over.
