3 Continue being a couch potato

"Oh my god!"

Seeing the menacing zombie, Ye Li was terrified and immediately turned to run.

But before he could take a step, his body froze.

"This doesn't seem right. I'm invincible, why am I running?"

He cleared his throat and calmly turned around.

"It's just a reflex, just a reflex."

Meanwhile, the zombie looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Usually, humans are scared like dogs when they see me, but this person seems so calm.

Well, regardless of the differences, they all end up as food in my mouth.

The zombie stopped thinking too much, shook its head, and fiercely lunged at Ye Li.

"Hey, little darling, you're getting closer to me."

Ye Li chuckled strangely, then with a single hand shake, he easily freed himself from the zombie's grasp.

Immediately, his other hand reached out and firmly grabbed the zombie's head.

Plop!

With a soft sound, the zombie's head was directly plucked off by him.

"???"

The decapitated zombie stared wide-eyed, utterly confused.

What just happened? Did my head detach from my body?

Creatures like them can survive even with their heads removed, as long as their brains are intact.

But even so, the zombie was dumbfounded.

This was his first time hunting for prey in this convenience store. The previous store he went to had already been emptied by him.

After consuming seven or eight people, it would be impolite to stay any longer.

So he decisively changed his hunting ground, but who would have thought that things would go south so quickly?

Meanwhile, Ye Li was feeling quite happy. He thought the zombie's head was as fragile as tofu.

"Hehe, Ye Li isn't afraid at all!"

Ye Li pinched the zombie's head in his hand and tossed it up and down. The more he looked at it, the more it resembled a basketball. Then, a mischievous idea struck him.

"Let the music play!"

He snapped his fingers and began dribbling the zombie's head between his legs.

One, two, the struggling of the zombie was in vain. After a few rounds, Ye Li instantly felt bored.

"Not interesting."

He stood up and calmly slammed the zombie's head onto the ground.

In an instant, the head exploded, blood splattering everywhere.

Without control from its brain, the zombie's body collapsed to the ground.

Done!

Ye Li grabbed a plastic bag and filled it with a box of instant noodles, two ham sausages, two eggs, and a bottle of soda.

He placed a 20 yuan bill on the counter and calmly walked out of the convenience store.

Ye Li was a lazy person. Due to his spirit-absorbing ability, he had been staying at home since childhood, minimizing his time outside to avoid various supernatural beings.

Over time, this habit had formed, where he would avoid doing anything if possible and simplify everything that was necessary.

Because of this personality, he often received reprimands from his boss in the workplace, making him want to quit his job directly.

The night in Jiangcheng was slightly chilly, and the night breeze rustled against the plastic bag, creating a soft sound.

Ever since the supernatural resurgence, people in this world no longer dare to go out at night. They mostly stay at home, securing their doors and windows, and sleeping soundly with their partners.

However, nighttime is also the best time for exorcists to eliminate the supernatural beings.

Just like that, when Ye Li looked up, he could see several figures leaping on the rooftops in the distance, their movements agile.

With his heightened physical abilities, Ye Li had exceptional vision, almost like a telescope.

Moreover, his current constitution was already immune to all poisons, unafraid of heat or cold. It was like the body of a mythical immortal, where even if he didn't eat for several months, it wouldn't matter.

However, Ye Li always upheld the belief that food is essential to life, and asking him not to eat was harder than killing him.

After returning home, Ye Li immediately lit the stove and started cooking the instant noodles. Noodles, eggs, and sausages, paired with a glass of happiness water, made him feel blissful like a deity.

To be honest, Ye Li was not in a poor financial situation; in fact, he was quite well-off. He lived in a spacious apartment of over a hundred square meters, and he owned two small apartments that he rented out.

His parents had passed away early, leaving him with a savings of over a hundred thousand, plus these properties. Honestly, even if he didn't work, he could live a comfortable life.

The main reason he continued to work was that the company had a skilled exorcist under its name.

As everyone knew, hiring an exorcist was quite expensive, even for the weakest E-rank exorcist, it would cost at least ten thousand. With Ye Li's wealth, he could at most afford a C-rank exorcist.

The exorcist under the company was indeed of C-rank strength. Ye Li thought that sooner or later, his spirit-absorbing ability would encounter a situation where he needed to hire an exorcist.

The company offered a 30% discount for employees who hired that exorcist, which was the main reason why Ye Li hadn't resigned yet.

However, now he suddenly realized that there was no longer a need to continue working. He was invincible, so why would he need to hire someone else?

Realizing that it was unnecessary, Ye Li made up his mind to resign the next day. After cooking the noodles, he sat on the sofa, turned on the television, and began slurping the noodles loudly.

"Unfortunately, I have to inform everyone that Mocheng has fallen," a host on the TV sorrowfully announced. Behind him was a scene of smoke-filled ruins, captured by drones from above, showing the devastation with scattered debris and corpses strewn across the city. The entire city appeared to have experienced terrifying destruction.

"This is the result of a rampage by an S-rank monster, with hundreds of exorcists falling in the process, including several A-rank powerhouses. Mocheng has lost all signs of life and has become a desolate, dead city."

"Let us mourn for the millions of residents of Mocheng and the countless exorcists who protected humanity!" The host expressed deep sorrow, shedding tears as he spoke.

Ye Li took in a sharp breath. The situation outside was too dangerous! He couldn't help but take a gulp of happiness water to calm himself.

At that moment, he started to think about himself.

Even though he theoretically considered himself invincible now, Ye Li knew better than to underestimate the existence of more powerful beings on this planet. After all, there is always someone better in different fields. No one can remain unbeatable forever!

"Forget it, I should just live a low-key life. Being too reckless might lead to my demise one day!" Ye Li decided to abandon his previous idea of punching demons and kicking ghosts. He believed that he should keep a low profile, and most importantly, slaying monsters was too exhausting.

Looking at the lives of those exorcists who spent their days traveling around the world, he realized how tiring and dangerous it could be. He definitely did not want to live a life like theirs. It was truly a life not worth living.

It's not enjoyable to be running around outside in the middle of the night. Eating instant noodles at home and watching TV is much more relaxing and satisfying.

"Alright! Decision made. Tomorrow, I'll quit my job and indulge in being a lazy person at home!" With his mind made up, Ye Li finished the last sip of his soda and turned off the TV. He then lay down on his bed and fell into a deep sleep.

After all, he was just an ordinary person. Regardless of what chaos might be happening in the world, the most important thing was to enjoy life.
