My Perfect Apocalyptic Life

【You were impeccably polite to your superior! Faced with unreasonable work demands, you refused boldly! My goodness, you are practically a role model for the new generation!】

【Task completed. Task rating: Perfect!】
【You have received the task rewards: Career Recommendation Letter X1, Career Experience +5.】

【Although you are a polite and judicious young person, your actions have caused your leader and colleagues’ opinions of you to plummet. Leader’s Affection Level -100, Colleague’s Affection Level -50. It’s truly incomprehensible why they harbor so much malice towards you for a single refusal. The evil of human nature knows no bounds!】

【You have completed the hidden achievement ‘Generation Z (born after 2000) Reforming the Workplace’.】
【Achievement Reward: 5000 yuan.】

【A good working environment is the foundation of a perfect life. Use your achievement reward to treat your superior and colleague to a barbecue and mend these relationships!】

As the cries and screams of the manager and colleague echoed in his ears, Meng Xu returned to his office with his backpack, sat down in his chair, and started taking stock of his possessions.

It was still the same few items.

The only difference was that there was now a stack of cash on the desk in front of him.

In this environment, it was nothing more than a pile of waste paper.

The things he had worked so hard for were now placed before him so simply and easily, it was truly absurd.

Meng Xu chuckled, unsure whether it was a bitter or joyful laugh. After thinking for a moment, he casually put the stack of cash into the cabinet.

Perhaps it will come in handy in the future.

“Oh right, there’s that Career Recommendation Letter…”

At this thought, the golden text flashed before his eyes, and a framework appeared. Soon, a ‘Career Recommendation Letter’ materialized in front of Meng Xu.

【Career Recommendation Letter】

【Function: Using this recommendation letter, you will secure a job. A perfect life should start with a perfect career. The path to riches begins at your feet!】
【Effect: After use, you will obtain a new part-time job.】

“This powerful?”

Seeing this letter, Meng Xu became nervous and excited.

A career? He knew all about that!

Warrior, mage, and archer!

Top lane, mid lane, ADC!

He was soaring!

A perfect life starts with this step!

“Use!”

Without much hesitation, Meng Xu chose to use it.

As soon as Meng Xu made his choice, a job title appeared in front of him.

Seeing the job name, Meng Xu’s smile froze on his face.

【You have acquired a new part-time job: Leaflet Distributor!】
【Leaflet Distributor: A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. A perfect life naturally requires ample wealth, and the first cornerstone of a vast business empire starts with distributing leaflets!】

Meng Xu: ?

He was completely stunned, utterly dumbfounded.

The sounds outside were chaotic, with occasional cries and screams, but Meng Xu felt disoriented and dizzy.

Huh?

What kind of job is this?

Leaflet Distributor?

It sounds grand, but simply put, it’s distributing leaflets on the streets.

This was nothing. Meng Xu often did part-time leaflet distribution jobs in high school. But…

Brother, it’s the apocalypse; who the hell is still distributing leaflets?

Promoting what? Security doors, protective suits, or AK-47s?

Meng Xu thought he had already adjusted to the quirks of this system, but to his surprise, there’s always a tougher challenge!

Moreover, Meng Xu thought, does distributing leaflets require a recommendation letter?

You could just apply somewhere directly, what’s the point of this recommendation letter?

Soon enough, Meng Xu discovered the purpose of the recommendation letter.

【Through the recommendation letter, you have acquired the ‘Leaflet Distributor’ exclusive occupation tasks. Please choose one of the following tasks:】

【Distribute promotional leaflets for ‘Vast Fitness Swimming Club’. Reward: Career Experience +3, Yuan +1000, Points +2. (0/500)】
【Distribute grand opening leaflets for ‘Zhang Wei Great Law Firm’. Reward: Career Experience +2, Yuan +5000, Points +2. (0/500)】
【Distribute real estate market leaflets for ‘Grand Property’. Reward: Career Experience +1, Yuan +10000, Points +2. (0/1000)】

For Meng Xu, whether it’s real estate, a law firm, or a fitness club, leaflets make no difference—the difference lies in the rewards and the quantity of leaflets to distribute.

After a quick glance, Meng Xu chose to distribute leaflets for the swimming fitness club without hesitation.

Money? Just a pile of waste paper now. Only a fool would choose Grand Property, distribute 500 more leaflets, and get 2 fewer experience points!

【You chose task one to be lazy, preferring to distribute 500 fewer leaflets. How disappointing! Don’t you know that diligent work brings great rewards? Distributing 500 more leaflets would have earned you ten times the bonus reward! Wealth is the starting point of a perfect life. Remember, ‘Hard work pays off’!】

Meng Xu: …

Hard work my foot.

But what’s the use of experience?

Adjusting his mindset, Meng Xu took a deep breath, and soon a panel appeared before his eyes.

【Occupation: Intern Clerk】
【Level: 0 (5/10)】

【Occupation: Leaflet Distributor】
【Level: 0 (0/3)】

【Each level up in your occupation will grant corresponding attribute points, skill points, and special skills.】

Seeing these stats, what else could Meng Xu say?

He could only trust it.

Although he didn’t think the skills acquired through leveling up would be high-level skills, gaining attribute points would be sufficient.

“This damn system did say one thing right, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. Although this system arrived with the apocalypse, if it can increase my attribute points, it might help me survive through the apocalypse and live to see the day human civilization rebuilds.”

Meng Xu’s only thought was to survive until humanity was rebuilt, and then he could use this system to get rich.

【Task Selected: Current Progress – 0/500】
【When distributing leaflets, please shout the slogan, ‘Sir/Madam, how about swimming fitness?’ Sincerely shouting the slogan not only aids promotion but might also grant you extra career experience points.】

Upon seeing this reminder, Meng Xu was calm and unfazed.

The current time is 9:14 a.m.

Only two hours had passed.

He’d thought it had been a lifetime.

After pouring himself a cup of water and drinking it in one go, Meng Xu then ate half a bag of his colleague’s beef jerky. Standing in front of the mirror, he suddenly had an idea. He immediately turned on the faucet and began to collect water using various bottles and containers.

The sound of water flowed continuously, and as Meng Xu looked at himself in the mirror, his thoughts grew quiet: “Either this world goes crazy or I do.”

“Let’s go, distribute leaflets!”
