Playing the “Saint” in the Wasteland

Unconventional Saint
Fake Saint

[Please let the light of the Saint shine upon every corner of the Wasteland!]: “Saint Growth Plan” System

When a “saintly act” is performed, a judgment will be made. Once the system determines the act aligns with the Saint persona, Saint Points can be accumulated. With Saint Points, you can shop in the store. Equipment? Skills? Food? It has everything you could possibly need.

[Host, that wasn’t a saintly act at all!]

“It’s not like only saintly acts can be judged.” Zheng Yi remained perfectly calm, continuing her slicing. “Zero One, we must be bold in our assumptions and careful in our verification.”

[Ding! Detected someone believes from the bottom of their heart that the Host is a Saint! Assessing emotional intensity…]

“My dear, I can feel your devotion.” Zheng Yi’s voice was incredibly gentle, her smile exceptionally kind. “In that case, can you be just a little more devout?”

“I forgive your offense and absolve you of your sin.” Submit, or die.

“You’ve been blinded by desire, deeply afflicted by lust. You can’t control yourself, wasting time that should have been spent strengthening yourself on violating others… You… you’re truly rotten to the core.”

“I am Zheng Yi. I am the Saint. Repeat after me: Zheng Yi is the Saint.”

“Zheng Yi is the Saint!” She is a demon, a devil, a lunatic, the source of all evil! Her hands are stained with blood; her sins are beyond forgiveness.

But she… is the Saint.

“Being a Saint? I’m a professional.”

“I call you ‘Jiejie’ (older sister), but you don’t really think I’m some pure, harmless little sister, do you?”

“…I know.”

“I’ve long known you weren’t what you seemed.”

“You… like me?”

“…”

Yu Yinan felt as if she’d been split wide open, but in her heart, she was just as lost. “I don’t know,” she said.

“Jiejie, am I in your heart?”

Zheng Yi seemed to become harmless again, her lively dark eyes sparkling with innocent light: “Jiejie, can I dig out your heart and see?”

“I don’t know… I don’t know…”

“I…”

“…Go ahead and dig… Dig it out… Let me see, too…”
