"Newbie, go to the private group owner, you can inquire and exchange points coupons and strengthen at the group owners place, haha. Also, welcome to our big family, our motto is: although we may not be born on the same year, month and day, but we have a chance to die on the same year, month and day oh."

  The font of this person has a bloody dripping effect, plus his sarcastic tone, in short, makes Zhao Zhuo feel uncomfortable in his heart. From a psychological perspective, this person should have gone through the initial fear and fear, and has already taken an extreme path of self-destruction and indulgence, somewhat like those soldiers who have been to war, from being timid at first to becoming fearless.

  Zhao Zhu scanned the persons group name card again, and the name was Xiong Zhiqi, who was not an administrator.

  This group has 10 administrators, and one group owner. They are listed at the top of the group list. The group owners ID is YY, with a profile picture of a cute-looking cat. Below that, there is a string of administrator avatars, each one unique and quirky, some selling cuteness, some pretending to be deep, and some being landscapes, all in different styles. The vast majority are QQ members.

  All of this looks no different from an ordinary book club, but after experiencing the terrifying online novel task world of "Zombie", Zhao Zhu absolutely wouldnt think that this group is really just a book club. In fact, theres a kind of atmosphere in this group that exceeds what youd normally find in a group.

  On the screen, people keep talking and chatting, but their tone and way of speaking are all accompanied by a kind of hysteria and desperation, or more accurately, a kind of madness, as if a group of fugitives gathered together, and they had long torn off the disguise that people wear in social life.

  Zhao Zhuang clicked on the group owner YYs avatar and sent a message through the group chat:

  "Hello, group owner."

  "Hello, newcomer."

  YYs response was incredibly fast, almost as soon as Zhao Zhu sent the message, a reply came back. For some reason, when facing the chat window with YY, Zhao Zhu felt a sense of tension that made him breathless. He was currently lying in his own bed at home wearing pajamas, and first pulled open the collar of his pajamas to take two deep breaths before picking up the phone screen to type again:

  "Can I inquire and redeem points here?"

  Zhao Zhu

  Point Voucher: 1700

  Story Reward: None

  Special Privileges: None

  "Exchange record: No exchange records."

  YYs response was still so quick, Zhao Zhu licked his lips and continued to respond:

  "Excuse me, how can I use these points vouchers?"

  Everyone will get their due branch story and point vouchers after completing tasks and returning to the real world.

  The branch plot is divided into eight levels of S/A/B/C/D/E, and each higher-level branch plot can be decomposed into three secondary branch plots. The three secondary branch plots can also be synthesized into a high-level branch plot. In other words, if this time you get a D-level branch plot, it can be decomposed into three E-level branch plots!

  However, note that when a high-level branch plot is decomposed into secondary branch plots, it is free. But when three secondary branch plots are combined into a high-level branch plot, an additional 1000-point coupon handling fee is required!

  All exchanges in the group can be divided into four categories: bloodline, secret method, technology and entertainment!

  Phylogenesis: The ability to evolve and change at a genetic level, making it into another species.

  Esoteric Method: Exchange of all cultivable techniques and items.

  Technology: Based on science, many weapons and equipment are extended.

  Entertainment: Products of super- and sub-era technology levels (non-living).

  Specifically...

  Looking at the rows and strings of exchange and strengthening lists on the screen, Zhao Zhu felt that the blood in his body was also flowing faster. At this moment, he couldnt help but think of Chen Hongs scene in the "Zombie" task world, where she used her skills and symbols to deal with zombies. It seemed that such abilities and items were exchanged for like this.

  At this moment, Zhao Zhu found that he had a friend application. Anyway, it would take some time to think about using the coupons, and Zhao Zhu didnt plan to reply to YY immediately. So he switched out of the chat window and saw that the friend application was from a 26-year-old woman in Liaoning Province, who should be Chen Hong without surprise.

  After agreeing and adding each other as friends, Zhao Zhu directly sent a message saying:

  "Chen Hong?"

  "Thats right, it was me."

  "Oh, I still owe you 500 points, how should I give them to you?"

  "Just tell him through YY."

  "Uh-huh, okay."

  Zhao Zhus prompt fulfillment of the agreement and giving Chen Hong 500 points was not because he had a particularly good personal quality. After looking at YYs exchange and reinforcement list, Zhao Zhu gained a deeper understanding of the importance of point coupons. However, Chen Hong was a seasoned veteran who had experienced several terrifying web novel worlds, and her experience and help in other aspects were absolutely worth more than 500 points.

  Re-entering YYs chat box, Zhao Zhu sent a message:

  "Group owner, transfer my 500 points voucher to Chen Hong."

  After sending it out, Zhao Zhuo only realized that Chen Hongs QQ name was not her real name. Just as he was about to re-copy Chen Hongs QQ name to YY, he found that YY directly replied:

  "Transfer of points voucher successful, you still have 1200 points vouchers left."

  "Uh..." Zhao Zhu was stunned for a moment, and then Chen Hong sent another message: "Received the points coupon, honest good kid."

  Zhao Zhu gave Chen Hong a smiling face expression and then asked:

  "I still have 1200 points on hand, give me some advice, what should I redeem and strengthen?"

  No rush, itll probably be around a month or so, maybe just over 10 days. Youll have to wait until your next horror web novel world. The group owner will post an announcement in the group in advance to notify you of the name and theme of the horror world, as well as @ those participating in the group. With only this little bit of money in hand, without a matching storyline, its impossible to strengthen any bloodline. Even the lowest-level bloodline requires at least a G-level storyline plus 1000 points of money, so you can only exchange some props for use. As for what props to exchange, thatll have to wait until your next horror world theme comes out to decide.

  "Just like this time, previously it was because I saw the notice in advance in the group and knew it was a horror web novel world of zombies, so before entering the world, I exchanged a lot of talismans and also exchanged moves to deal with zombies."

  Zhao Zhus heart was filled with a mix of emotions, thinking that if he had exchanged the points for items earlier, and they didnt match the next tasks world, it would have been truly frustrating. After all, his own "family assets" were really too meager.

  "Alright, I understand now."

  "Hmm, take a look, I still have some extra props here. If you need them for your next horror web novel, I can lend them to you."

  "Thanks."

  Zhao Zhu threw his mobile phone onto the bed, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then checked the time again. It was almost 11 oclock. At this moment, his mobile phone rang. Zhao Zhu walked back to the bedroom while wiping his face with a towel, picked up the phone, and saw that the incoming call was from Zhu Wanki, who was a distant relative of Zhao Zhus. After graduating from nursing school, Zhao Zhu had used his connections to get her a job as a nurse at the Second Hospital in the city.

  "Hello." Zhao Zhu answered the phone.

  "Hey, Brother Zhuo, I heard you took a leave today. Whats wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

  Zhu Wanqis voice is sweet and beautiful. When Zhu Wanqis mother brought her to find Zhao Zhu, Zhao Zhu also thought the girl looked pretty good, so he used his connections to help her arrange a job. After all, although they are considered relatives, they dont have much of a blood relationship. Otherwise, Zhu Wanqis family wouldnt need to come find Zhao Zhu, and could directly find either of Zhao Zhus parents. Zhao Zhus father is the director of a military hospital with the rank of major general, while his mother is the board chairman of a large private hospital.

  "Im just feeling a bit tired, Ill take a day off and sleep in."

  Zhao Zhu was fighting back perfunctorily, but in his heart, he understood that even if he had entered the world of horror web novels, his relationships in real life wouldnt think anything was amiss with him. Even if he died, it would likely be an unremarkable death.

  "Uh... Brother Zhuo, youre still so carefree, hehe. How about I treat you to lunch this afternoon? My mom told me to thank you properly."

  Zhu Wanqi said in a slightly shrill voice that she was actually quite insecure in front of Zhao Zhu, because Zhao Zhu was handsome, capable, and had good family conditions, so he didnt lack women at all.

  "Auntie, if you keep saying that, Ill be embarrassed. Alright, are you still at work now? Ill go to the Second Hospital to pick you up."

  "Alright then, Brother Zhang, lets make a promise to meet again someday."

  "Well meet again if fate permits."

  He hung up the phone, Zhao Zhu changed into a blue shirt and a pair of light blue jeans, took the car key and drove out of the villa.

  Zhao Zhus villa is not far from the Second Hospital, and with all green lights on the way, he arrived at the hospitals parking lot in just a moment. Looking at the time, there was still about half an hour before the hospital closed. Zhao Zhu got out of the car and walked into the outpatient building. Zhu Wanki was working as an assistant nurse in pediatrics.

  At the turn of spring and summer, many children catch colds and fevers. The corridors are filled with parents holding their kids. Zhao Zhu stands at the corner of the staircase, not intending to squeeze into the crowd of patients either.

  Just then, a man of about twenty-five or six years old rushed up from downstairs with a child in his arms, pushing aside others and shouting directly at the door of the clinic:

  "Doctor, doctor, my son has a fever, come and take a look."

  The mans voice was quite high, his throat was also very bright, and he had a bit of a domineering air about him. The parents who were squeezed aside and cut in line all furrowed their brows, but for the time being no one spoke up to say anything.

  A nurse came out of the clinic, reached out and touched the childs forehead, feeling that it wasnt very serious, and said: "First go register, then next door to take your temperature."

  It seemed there were still patients inside who needed care, and after finishing speaking, the nurse turned around and entered the examination room.

  However, this behavior in the eyes of the man was a completely disdainful attitude. The man immediately shouted: "Son of a bitch, let me see my son first." At the same time, he lifted his leg and kicked the nurses lower back with a loud thud as she turned to walk inside. The nurse let out a pained cry and was kicked several meters away, crashing onto the floor tiles in the examination room.

  "What are you doing? This is a hospital, how can you fight here?" A young female nurse rushed out and scolded the man who was fighting, it was Zhu Wanqi, who had invited Zhao Zhu over for dinner.

  "The thing youve raised is just asking to be beaten!" The man, holding his son in his left arm, slapped Zhu Wanqis face with a loud crack, causing her to crash into the wall. Her mouth was bleeding, and fresh blood flowed out.

  The parents around were busy taking their children away from here, and some fathers didnt dare to intervene at this time. After all, looking at the mans momentum, he was also a ruthless master, maybe even a social thug, so no one dared to meddle in other peoples business and look for trouble.

  Several doctors in the clinic also came over, but they seemed to be afraid of the mans fierce punches and only dared to speak from a distance to persuade him. An older doctor even acted as a mediator:

  "The child is seriously ill, hurry up and send him over for me to take a look, dont delay."

  The man finally let out a cold hum of satisfaction, without even looking at Zhu Wankui, who was beaten by him with blood flowing from the corner of his mouth, and walked towards the treatment room with the child in his arms.

  However, at this moment, a hand grabbed his left arm. The man only felt his left arm numb, and the child who was originally in his left hand fell to the ground. The child immediately burst into tears, apparently in great pain. However, the child did not hit his head on the ground but rather landed on his legs, and since the height was not high, he would at most be in pain for a while and wouldnt have any other problems.

  Zhao Zhu stood at the edge of the clinic door, looking at the man beside him, smiled slightly, spread his hands, and said with obvious insincerity:

  "Sorry, this is an accident, Ill stake my mothers chastity on it."
