[A sharp tongue, billions in supplies, face-slapping revenge, ruthless and decisive]
Supernatural horrors descend upon the world, and there is only one rule: stay inside your room and never open the door! They will imitate your family, lovers, and friends, trick you into opening the door, and then… take your life. The only safe time each day is half an hour at noon. Be one second late, and you’re dead.
Lin Bei, reborn, remembers how pathetically he died in his previous life. He was bringing supplies to his goddess like a lovesick simp when she and her lover shut him outside, leaving him to be devoured alive by the horrors. As he died, he even heard the two of them laughing and calling him a “stupid simp” from inside.
In this life, he awakens the [Sharp-Tongued System]. The harsher his insults, the better his rewards! From the start, he clears out every major supermarket in the province, then mortgages his property for an eight-million loan and uses military-grade materials to build an impregnable safe house. Everyone laughs and calls him crazy. The loan manager worries he won’t be able to repay the money.
That is, until the horrors descend and his former goddess kneels outside his door with her lover, pleading, “Lin Bei, please open the door and give us some supplies!”
Lin Bei bites into a spicy snack and cracks the door open. “Well, look at that. Did you two come as a team to work as my doormen? Take a look at yourselves, so pathetic that you’re not even fit to ward off evil at my door. You want in? Sure. First, shout ‘I’m a stupid simp’ three times through the crack. Then I’ll think about it.”
In this world, being able to keep the horrors out is nothing special. The real satisfaction is pinning down the people who got you killed in your last life and grinding them into the dirt again and again!
