Sentry: The guide who's getting extra help is very busy today.

"I can manage. Have I been causing you trouble, Shuzao?" Etheris brought a folding bed and laid it out next to Shuzao.

She lay on her side on the folding bed, her head nestled against Shuzao's shoulder.

Bo You sat not far away, listening intently.

"Don't put your hand on my stomach."

Etheris withdrew her hand: "I'm sorry."

"It didn't cause any trouble; this path is viable."

The head of the household can cover everything!

Seriously! Sometimes she thinks they're lucky to have met someone as responsible and protective as her!

They faced many hardships in the early stages, but they all survived and became stronger. Yuan Li even rose to the unprecedented SSSS level.

Even as their living environment deteriorates, they have enough means to protect themselves and avoid lowering their quality of life.

Their ancestral graves are emitting auspicious smoke.

Shu had already given herself a moment of self-admiration.

Etheris's unease vanished, and her thoughts took a dramatic turn: "Shuzao, how about I warm your bed tonight? I won't feel at ease if I don't repay you in some way."

"Then you should report back to Bo You and the others first."

They are all in the same boat, sharing both glory and loss; he must feel uneasy about it.

Bo You stated her request: "Go change Yan Yan's diaper."

"Okay, I'll go change." Etheris was unusually efficient, not trying to back out.

As soon as he left, Bo You got up, folded up the folding bed, picked up Shu Zao and moved her a little, then lay down on it himself, arguing, "This is to protect you."

"Oh, so lying down provides better protection."

Bo You tucked the blanket around her, then whispered a 'threat' in Shu Zao's ear: "It's just the two of us in the room. It's dangerous for you to tease me like that."

He wrapped his arms around Shuzao through the blanket, while Nuotang (mini version) ran out and nestled on the other side of Shuzao.

It wanted to relax early.

"Nu Tang, come closer to me."

Not only did Nuotang get close, but Boyou also got close and even crawled into the blanket.

Shu Zao: "..."

For the sake of Nuotang, she let it go and didn't hold it against him.

One night, Yuanli knocked on Shuzao's door.

"I volunteered." He came on his own without being called. Being eager to help is not cheap; it's seizing the opportunity.

"I want to sleep with Xingyao tonight, you can come again tomorrow." She felt an impulse towards him and wanted to sleep with him, but her desire for Xingyao was greater.

I love myself, I want what I want, and I get what I want.

"Are you going to let Xingyao leave tomorrow?"

"You actually doubt my bedding?!" How dare you! Who do you think you are?!

"Your bedding is just like mine." Equally bad! You don't keep your word.

Shu Zao didn't know how to respond to that, so she thought for a moment and gave a compromise promise: "Xing Yao, it's your turn next. Don't worry, you hold a special place in my heart. If I didn't like you, I would have moved you to the 89th floor long ago..."

Yuanli left satisfied, carrying a bunch of sweet words; he wouldn't have bothered to listen if she hadn't said them.

Shuzao closed the door and skipped into the bedroom to find Xingyao, who had been waiting for her.

"You're young, you can make up for it by working day and night!" A director flicked his bangs, whistled, and raised his hand to adjust the bedroom lights.

Iwatsu was promoted at home; it was a sudden promotion. Beslia called Shuzao for help.

Shu arrived early wearing slippers and covered the floor with a hoop to avoid a surprise attack.

Unable to move, the waiting was long and agonizing. Just as she was drifting off to sleep, Yan Zhe opened his eyes, and Etheris clapped enthusiastically:

"Clap clap clap, congratulations on your promotion!"

Shu Zao: "Don't let the outside world know that you've reached SSSS level yet."

She can go home and sleep now; she's so sleepy.

Beslia's smile remained unchanged: "Didn't you mention it to Speaker Nylonko either?"

"He can speak."

With Iwatsu's successful example (relying on Shuzao's ability to exchange), Nilonko's steps were much lighter when he came to find Shuzao.

"Commander Shuzao, thank you for making this trip so late at night." He took out the list and a milk tea he brought from the central city, the cup steaming cold.

"Everyone is working hard for the White Pagoda and the central city. Just call me when you're ready, and I'll start anytime."

Shu Zao inserted a straw, took a deep breath, and exclaimed, "Wow, so refreshing!"

Out of the corner of her eye, Shu noticed Etheris looking at the milk tea in her hand, and she quickly brought the milk tea to his lips: "Drink it."

Etheris took a sip, Shuzao pulled out the straw, took a new straw from the space chip, inserted it, and handed it to Yuanli.

After Yuanli finished drinking, Shuzao didn't change the straw. Instead, she put the old straw back in and drank from both straws at the same time.

Double the refreshing coolness!

She can kiss them indirectly, but neither of them can kiss the other indirectly; she won't accept that.

Shu Zao's actions left Nilong Ke stunned, making him feel like he was being stingy.

"I'll bring eight cups next time."

Shu Zao nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll pay with Star Coins, including the travel expenses."

"No need, it's just a few cups of milk tea, I can afford it."

This time, it was Lin Che who came; Jue Jian had just found a suitable director.

Once the drug's effects wore off, Lin Che activated his own method, receiving an injection of a stimulant from his personal guide, followed by assistance with his advancement—a familiar process.

"Will it succeed?" Nilonko asked anxiously. He only found out that Iwatsu had successfully advanced, and he didn't know what a successful advancement should be like.

"It depends on his fate. We've done enough. He's lucky to be able to wait until I implement my plan."

Favorable timing, advantageous location, and guidance.
