REBORN WITH CASHBACK SYSTEM

On December 12, 3202, the apocalypse descended, bringing both natural and man-made disasters, and a zombie virus swept across the globe. Major cities mobilized quickly, setting up defender bases, and ordinary people began to awaken "superpowers" at this time. "Tyler, stand behind me, I'll protect you!" Jessica shielded the man behind her, who was over 1.8 meters tall, wielding a wooden stick and smashing it ferociously at the surrounding zombies. Tyler was the boyfriend she had been simping for three years, and only three days ago had he reluctantly agreed to give her a try. Unexpectedly, the apocalypse suddenly struck, and the two had to flee together. Jessica swung with great force, but the zombie's head merely tilted, as if it felt no pain, and continued to stagger toward them. Sweat dripped down her forehead, pooling at her chin and falling. Her stamina was nearly exhausted, a complex expression coloring Jessica's face, when she turned and spotted a large truck. Her eyes lit up almost instantly, and she grabbed Tyler's arm. "Tyler, it's a rescue truck from the superpower base!" Tyler showed a hint of disgust, nonchalantly brushing off Jessica's hand, and looked toward the truck in the distance. "We're surrounded by zombies. How do we get there?" Jessica gripped her wooden stick, her eyes sharpening. "Stay close, I'll fight our way out!" She smashed the nearest zombie, and they successfully reached the truck. As the door slowly opened, Jessica suddenly felt like crying. They were finally going to survive! Just as she was about to board, Tyler brushed past her and got on first. Jessica was stunned but said nothing. The truck's compartment was packed with uninfected people, their faces filled with hope for the future. After boarding, Jessica stood beside Tyler, instinctively reaching for him, but felt a sticky sensation on her hand. Catching a glimmer of light, she saw the glaring red on her hand. "You're injured?" Jessica exclaimed, but before she could finish, Tyler covered her mouth. "Shout that loud, and you'll get us kicked out!" Realizing this, Jessica obediently shut up and fumbled in her pocket for a long time before finding a wad of tissues. "Don't move, let me bandage it for you." Seeing Tyler stay still, Jessica took action herself, wrapping the wound. Just as she breathed a sigh of relief, Tyler's cold laugh reached her ears. "So this is what you call protecting me? Hah, what use are you?" Jessica bit her lip and lowered her head, her voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz: "I'm sorry." The driver started, but with so many people in the compartment, the truck moved slowly. The loud engine noise quickly attracted a horde of zombies, surrounding the truck. Banging sounds echoed from outside the compartment, like the clashing of chains held by vengeful spirits coming to claim lives. "I don't want to die... I really don't want to die... Is there a superpower user here..." "Stop crying! Think of a solution!" "..." "You two who just got on, if it weren't for picking you up, how would we be surrounded by zombies? Get off now!" Someone in the crowd shouted, and Jessica and Tyler instantly became the target of all. In the dim compartment, everyone's gaze was like hungry wolves lurking in the dark, ready to devour them. Jessica instinctively hugged Tyler's arm. "Tyler... I'm scared..." Before she could finish, the arm she was holding was yanked away. Tyler's grim face was clearly visible in the dim compartment due to their close proximity. "Who knows you?" The icy words stabbed into her heart like a knife. The dim compartment suddenly blazed bright, and Jessica instinctively raised her hand to shield her eyes. Before she could react, she was flung out. Her survival instinct made her grab onto the person who threw her—Tyler. "Tyler, don't let go... Please, I really don't want to die... I have a superpower, a spatial superpower... I can protect you..." Seeing Tyler slowly lower his head, Jessica thought he was going to save her, hope flashing in her eyes, but then she heard his death sentence. "But I don't have a superpower. If you don't die, then I die. Jess, since you love me so much, die for me." Pain shot through her hand, and Jessica instinctively let go of Tyler's hand. As she fell from the truck, she was engulfed by the zombie horde. Her body hurt, but she couldn't feel it anymore. Her gaze was fixed on the bite mark on her hand and the truck slowly driving away. She had simped for three years, fought to protect, and in the end, she died for him. Just as she thought she was about to die, a cold voice echoed in her mind. [Detected host with simp attribute at 100%. Simp Counterattack System successfully bound.] [Rebirth is imminent, three days before the apocalypse. Please be prepared, host.] A dazzling white light flashed before her eyes, and Jessica instinctively shielded her eyes. When the light faded, she saw the scene before her clearly. It was the bar where she had confessed to Tyler for the 99th time three days ago. Tyler was the school heartthrob of A University, while she was the famous simp for Tyler. From the first meeting, she was smitten and kept pursuing him with chance encounters and confessions. The reason she kept simping was because Tyler had told her that if she confessed to him 99 times, he would be with her. Euphemistically, he wanted to test her sincerity. People around her had warned her many times that Tyler was deceiving her, but she remained mesmerized by him, as if under a spell. Through part-time jobs and scholarships, she had saved some money, almost all of which she spent on Tyler. Everything around her froze as if paused, and the system's cold voice followed. [Congratulations on successfully binding the Simp Counterattack System. Spending money on men will earn you a 10x cashback, with no upper limit.] [The system allows you to view a man's affection toward you. When affection reaches 100, cashback will cease.] [Please take revenge on the scumbag to your heart's content. When you find true love and achieve a full-level affection from that love, the system will automatically unbind.] After the system's prompt ended, everything returned to normal. Someone patted her shoulder, their face full of concern. "Jessica, are you really going to keep simping for that Tyler? I've told you many times, Tyler isn't a good person. He's just fooling you..." The speaker was her best friend, Nicole. Every time she confessed to Tyler, Nicole would sincerely advise her. But back then, she was blinded by infatuation. After a successful confession, when Nicole advised her again, she severed ties with Nicole. Later, during the apocalypse, they fled separately, and she never knew what happened to Nicole. "Thank you, Nikki." Jessica suddenly hugged Nicole, "I've decided to give up. But since I've persisted this long, I want to try one last time for myself... the final time…"
