ARBW Chapter 11

At this moment, Pei Yuhuai was searching for girls’ dresses in the game mall.

The third request came from a little girl who wished to have a beautiful dress.

When the people around saw her request, they couldn’t help but roll their eyes in dissatisfaction, thinking she was wasting a precious opportunity.

However, the little girl didn’t care about their gazes. She was a child born after the apocalypse. Coming from an ordinary family, she had lived in the Outer City her whole life and had never seen a dress before.

It was only when she arrived at the town that she learned about those beautiful dresses through the live-streaming watch on her wrist.

She felt that, given her situation, it would be difficult to survive in this cruel world.

If she was destined to die someday, she hoped to wear a dress that belonged to her before she passed away.

She thought this was a wish that would be very hard to fulfill, yet at this very moment, it was effortlessly realized.

When the little girl saw the dress Pei Yuhuai had chosen for her, she couldn’t help but burst into tears.

“Thank you, thank you! It’s such a beautiful dress, I really love it so much.”

As she spoke, tears streamed down her face. The townsfolk who had previously thought she was wasting an opportunity now felt a pang of envy and jealousy when they saw the beautiful dress in her hands.

Not only was the dress given by Pei Yuhuai stunning, but it also looked very expensive.

Had they known how capable Pei Yuhuai was, that he could find such a beautiful dress, they should have made bolder requests.

For example, asking for guns, knives, or medicine.

Everyone assumed that Pei Yuhuai was a space Mutant, able to casually produce so many items.

The things he brought out were all from his space, which they had previously been unaware of when they wrote their requests, being rather polite.

Now that they saw Pei Yuhuai had such a beautiful dress, they believed his space must be vast, filled with abundant resources.

Had they known he had so many supplies, they should have made more requests.

As the crowd thought this, Pei Yuhuai received the fourth request from a townsfolk.

The fourth request came from Cheng Xiaowan.

Pei Yuhuai admitted that he was driven by a strong personal interest while completing this time-limited task.

He first chose Lin Mian because he had a good impression of him and wanted to give him some benefits while doing the task.

Next, he selected the woman because she triggered the task and had a little boy with her, so he felt he should take care of her more.

Then there was the little girl, as he had a bias towards the weak. He hoped to fulfill her small wish and bring a bit of happiness to this suffering child.

And then there was Cheng Xiaowan, with whom he had become somewhat familiar. He had known her before he met Lin Mian, and he felt a sense of responsibility to look after her.

When Cheng Xiaowan saw her request being fulfilled, she couldn’t help but feel overjoyed.

Her request was for a self-defense weapon.

She didn’t specify what kind, just that she saw Lin Mian with a gun and, as a fellow weakling, wanted a weapon for self-protection.

Pei Yuhuai didn’t think her request was excessive. He considered it and selected a stun baton from his backpack to give to her.

For a girl, a knife or dagger would likely be easily taken away from her.

A gun might not be something she could use. Instead, a stun baton, being longer and not too heavy, would be a good choice.

Even if she encountered a big man, she could easily take him down with the stun baton, making it a decent weapon.

Cheng Xiaowan was thrilled, trying it out in her hands. Once she confirmed she could easily handle it, she happily approached Pei Yuhuai to thank him.

Pei Yuhuai didn’t say much to her but continued to accept requests for the time-limited task.

The fifth request came from a middle-aged aunt.

Yes, the tastes of the nobles playing the town game were quite varied.

There were those who had a disturbing preference for young children and others with peculiar tastes for middle-aged individuals. In short, it was a group of oddballs with all sorts of preferences.

This aunt had previously suffered abuse and was in urgent need of anti-inflammatory medicine for treatment.

When Pei Yuhuai had just bought the dress for the little girl, he had also purchased a good amount of medicine in the game mall. Seeing someone in need, he readily fulfilled this request.

Then came the sixth request from a little boy.

Pei Yuhuai had some impression of this little boy; he had encountered him when he was giving gifts to the townsfolk.

At that time, Pei Yuhuai hadn’t understood the significance of the town, but now that he knew what they had endured, his attitude towards them softened considerably.

The little boy wanted a toy. Yes, children always have simple and innocent desires.

Even in such a cruel environment, he still maintained a heart that loved to play.

This was good; it was better than being mired in pain, allowing him to quickly forget his suffering.

Pei Yuhuai bought him a Transformers toy and completed the four requests from the townsfolk, finishing the day’s time-limited task.

The townsfolk saw that he had only completed ten requests and still hadn’t resolved their food shortage, causing some who had not had their requests fulfilled to become anxious.

At this moment, Pei Yuhuai was about to log off, so he clicked on the task rewards.

The reward was a ton of rice, enough to feed them for a while.

Before logging off, Pei Yuhuai entrusted two townsfolk to distribute the rice among the residents.

They would divide it equally among everyone, regardless of age or gender, meaning even a small child would receive an equal share.

After that, Pei Yuhuai placed the ton of rice in the town square and logged off.

Driver Old Liu, who had seen him playing on his phone the whole way, initially thought Pei Yuhuai was handling company matters.

When he opened the car door for Pei Yuhuai, he discovered that Pei Yuhuai was using a spare phone, and the screen displayed many little figures.

Old Liu blinked in curiosity about what Pei Yuhuai was playing, but just then, Pei Yuhuai turned off the screen, so he ultimately couldn’t see what it was.

Old Liu had been driving for the Pei family for a long time; it wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say he had watched Pei Yuhuai grow up.

He rarely pried into the family’s privacy, but today he felt compelled to sneak a look at Pei Yuhuai’s phone, mainly because Pei Yuhuai seemed a bit different.

In the past, Pei Yuhuai would never look at his phone while in the car.

The Pei family had strict rules to prevent children from playing on their phones in the car to protect their eyes, and Madam did not allow it.

Pei Yuhuai usually listened to Elder Madam’s words very well; aside from necessary company matters, he rarely played on his phone while in the car.

But today was different. Not only was Pei Yuhuai looking at his phone in the car, but it seemed he was also… well, it seemed he was playing a game on it.

This was very strange.

After getting out of the car, Pei Yuhuai tucked the spare phone into his pocket.

Xiao Su didn’t need to follow him today. Once Pei Yuhuai returned to the old residence, he didn’t require a life assistant, so Xiao Su could rest during this time.

Pei Yuhuai thought about the game on his phone and intended to ask his niece when he got back to the old residence where she had downloaded it, as he couldn’t find it online.

The game Scarlet Town was exquisitely made, completely unlike a pirated game. So even though he couldn’t find it, Pei Yuhuai didn’t think it was strange; he assumed it was some game that hadn’t been publicly tested.

He thought about his niece, who was quirky and a heavy fan of the second dimension, and figured she must have found the beta version through a friend.

However, he didn’t expect that his niece wouldn’t be back this weekend, saying she was going to a comic convention in J City.

Since it wasn’t particularly important, Pei Yuhuai didn’t bother to call her, thinking he would find an opportunity to ask her when she came to his company later.
