Reborn three days before the apocalypse, Zhou Lin binds himself to the [Apocalypse Favorability System].
Raise people's favorability, and you can exchange it for survival supplies and strengthen yourself.
Looking at the future powerhouses on the roster, all with maxed-out favorability bars, Zhou Lin smiles.
This time, he's going to coast to victory by farming favorability.
He throws himself into befriending future powerhouses, miracle doctors, engineers, and more, using the System to stockpile resources in advance and build a safe house.
The apocalypse arrives right on schedule. As he enjoys a steak in his safe house, someone knocks at the door.
On the security monitor, the man who betrayed him in his previous life stands covered in blood, with a crimson prompt hovering over his head:
[Current favorability toward you: -100 (Utter hatred)]
[Warning: Target detected with the 'Favorability Plunder' talent!]
Worse still, several familiar faces slowly emerge from the shadows behind the man: people whose favorability he'd once maxed out...
Above their heads are the same -100, and a line of text: [Status: Favorability forcibly plundered].
Outside the safe house is a hell overrun by monsters beneath a blood-red moon.
Inside, former friends, corrupted by a System loophole, are hunting him down.
Zhou Lin tightens his grip on his knife and looks at his favorability points, now reduced to zero, as a new prompt flashes on the System: [Anti-plunder module loading...]
Wasn't farming favorability supposed to be an easy path to victory?
Now all he can do is fight his way toward the future with the knife in his hand, down a path more perilous than the apocalypse itself.
