Lu Zhixing glanced at the nearly finished food on the table, wiped his mouth, and stood up: "So soon? Okay, let's begin."

Outside the tent, the scene was quite different.

A familiar custom-made large soft bed appeared on the open space, with a carved bed frame, thick mattress, silk quilt, and latex pillow.

The entire bed was disassembled and transported from Lu Zhixing's bedroom, and is now placed neatly on the rocky beach.

A sunshade was set up at the head of the bed, and a warm-colored night light was placed at the foot of the bed.

Dozens of fully armed special forces soldiers spread out in a fan shape, dressed in black combat uniforms, each exuding the killing intent of someone who had been through many battles.

Lu Zhixing plopped down on the mattress.

"Comfortable."

Three burly men stepped forward in unison, stood at attention, and saluted: "Greetings, young master!"

Ye Qinglan turned to the side and introduced: "Bone, the berserker, is responsible for pulling monsters from the front."

The burly man on the far left has arms thicker than Lu Zhixing's thighs, and he's carrying a giant shield.

"Stone, the ranger, is responsible for remote scouting and luring monsters."

The tall, thin man in the middle grinned, carrying a longbow on his back. "Ah Hu, a blood mage, is responsible for crippling the monsters and sending them over."

The dark-skinned man on the far right patted his chest.

Ah Hu's voice boomed, "Don't worry, young master! I can guarantee that any monster we send over will have no more than 5% health! You just need to move your fingers to harvest them!"

Lu Zhixing nodded: "Alright, thank you for your hard work, brothers."

He took out his phone from his pocket, skillfully turned it to landscape mode, and said, "I'm not sleepy yet after eating, let me play a few rounds first."

At the command of the three men, dozens of special forces soldiers instantly turned into shadows and scattered into the night.

"Roar—!" A beast's roar echoed from the depths of the wasteland, followed by a deep, resonant voice from the bones.

"Young master, engage the monster! At three o'clock!"

A dark shadow flew out from the darkness—a wasteland wolf, Lv.6, its hind leg broken and covered in blood. Its trajectory was precise, landing less than two meters to the right of the bed.

Lu Zhixing was intently focused on his phone screen, engrossed in the intense team battle.

The little zombie sprang out from the shadows beside the bed and punched the wolf on the head.

"Bang!"

[Defeat the Wasteland Wolf (Lv.6) to gain 35 experience points!]

Lu Zhixing's game character got a triple kill in the team battle.

"Young master, at twelve o'clock! Two!"

Ah Hu's loud voice rang out. Two dark figures flew out at the same time, two low-health, highly venomous lizards, Lv.5, one flying straight and the other in an arc, their landing points three or four meters apart.

Lu Zhixing didn't even look up.

The little zombie flew out from the left, punched the first one to death, made a sharp turn in mid-air to catch up with the second one, and punched it again.

"Boom! Boom!"

[Slay 2 highly poisonous lizards, gain 60 experience points!]

From the moment it appeared to the double kill, it took less than two seconds.

Ah Hu ran back from the darkness, his eyes almost popping out of their sockets.

"Holy crap..." Stone ran back carrying the half-dead porcupine, and was also stunned.

"Captain Ye said that Young Master's micro-management skills are amazing, and he also has the incredible ability to multitask. I didn't believe it at first..."

Stone swallowed hard. "I didn't expect it to be true..."

Ah Hu muttered, "I'm a blood mage, I know how difficult this is. To play a tower defense game while simultaneously controlling summoned creatures to execute a double kill in mid-air, that kind of precision in multitasking..."

Stone paused for a moment, then asked, "How long have we been practicing?"

"ten years."

"How long has it been since you changed jobs, young master?"

"Two days."

As time went on, the special forces team became more and more skilled in their coordination and attracted monsters more and more frequently.

From one or two to groups of three or five—wild wolves, venomous lizards, armored rhinoceroses, porcupines, sand scorpions, and all sorts of monsters were crippled and tossed high into the air, flying toward the bed.

The little zombies hopped around in the night sky.

One punch for one, two punches for two, occasionally a tough-skinned armored rhinoceros needs a third punch, but never lets any monster fall to the ground.

Night was falling.

Lu Zhixing played seven or eight matches in the peak tournament, and his eyelids started to droop.

I didn't sleep well yesterday because of the little zombies, and today I played the Abyss dungeon. I didn't even have time to drink water before being dragged into an all-nighter. Even an iron man couldn't take it.

He casually tossed his phone next to his pillow, then slumped into the silk quilt.

"Um...you guys continue, I'm going to take a nap..."

Less than three seconds later, even breathing sounds began.

Song Xiaohe emerged from the tent at some point.

She changed into a fluffy nightgown, put on bunny slippers, and hugged a pillow.

She glanced at Lu Zhixing, who was already asleep, and then at the empty space next to the blanket.

He hesitated for about 0.25 seconds, then lifted a corner of the blanket, crawled inside, and hugged Lu Zhixing.

She pressed her face against his chest, rubbed against him contentedly, and then closed her eyes.

Goodnight, brother.

Lu Zhixing frowned in his sleep, thinking it was a pillow, and subconsciously hugged it closer.

Song Xiaohe froze, her cheeks flushed red to her ears, and she buried her face in his back, not daring to look up.

Ah Hu rushed back, carrying an armored rhinoceros, and was about to shout "Young Master, catch the monster!" when he saw Lu Zhixing had already shrunk into the quilt, and he paused.

Stone ran back carrying the half-dead porcupine, dumbfounded: "Ah... Young Master is asleep?"

Ah Hu was at a loss: "Looks like... he's asleep."

Stone looked at the porcupine in his hand, then at the rhinoceros in Ah Hu's hand: "So... should we still throw this monster away?"

Ah Hu pondered for a moment: "Team Leader Ye said to train all night, not that we should stop when Young Master falls asleep."

Shi Tou hesitated: "But the young master is asleep, what if something happens..."

"It's alright! We've already reduced the monster to a sliver of health. If the summoned creatures don't react, we can finish it off. It definitely won't hurt the young master."

Stone nodded: "Okay! Let's give it a try!"

Ah Hu used his arms to gently toss the armored rhinoceros towards the edge of the bed.

The rhino will land two meters to the right of the bed, so even if the summoned creature doesn't catch it, it won't touch the bed.

A dark figure darted out from under the covers.

The little zombie suddenly sprang out and punched the armored rhinoceros on the head.

The sound of skull shattering exploded, and the corpse was thrown out.

The entire process took less than a second.

Ah Hu and Shi Tou froze instantly. Their mouths were agape, and their eyes were wide open.

Stone was the first to regain his voice, trembling slightly: "This...this is really asleep?"

Ah Hu tentatively called out, "Young Master?" His voice was soft. There was no response from the large bed.

"Young Master!!" Ah Hu raised his voice.

Lu Zhixing frowned slightly, turned over, buried his face in Song Xiaohe's hair, mumbled something indistinctly, and continued to sleep soundly.

Song Xiaohe was awakened by his turning over. She opened her eyes groggily, looked around, then closed them again, snuggling into his arms.

Ah Hu and Shi Tou looked at each other in bewilderment.

Stone's eyes suddenly lit up, and he lowered his voice, trembling with excitement: "Brother Tiger, have you heard of this?"

Legend has it that some top-tier professionals deliberately train themselves to fight while asleep.

No conscious awareness is required; the enemy is killed entirely by instinctive physical and mental reflexes!

Ah Hu hesitated: "This ability, no one in our team can do it, right? Young Master Lu only changed jobs two days ago..."

Shi Tou waved his hand, his tone assertive: "What do you know! Who is Young Master Lu? He's Commander Lu's son!"

Commander A-rank Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex, wife A-rank Blue Silver Grass—isn't it perfectly reasonable for their child to have freakishly extraordinary talents?

Ah Hu paused for a moment, then slowly nodded: "That makes sense. After all, he's the commander's son..." He hesitated.

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's get to work!"

"Let's go!" The two turned and disappeared into the darkness.

---

Lu Zhixing groggily turned over, the silk quilt slipping off his shoulders, and the morning chill made him shrink his neck.

My hand instinctively reached to the side, but it wasn't a pillow; it was soft and warm.

His hand froze.

Song Xiaohe curled up in his arms, her breathing even and long, one hand clutching his collar.

Her other hand had somehow slipped into his sleeve, and she was clinging to him like a koala.

Lu Zhixing sat up expressionlessly.

Song Xiaohe was awakened by the noise. She rubbed her eyes groggily and yawned slightly.

"Is it dawn yet, brother?"

Lu Zhixing took a deep breath, turned to look at the sleepy-eyed girl, and said seriously, "You can't crawl into my bed anymore. Men and women shouldn't touch each other."

Song Xiaohe paused for a moment, tilted her head and thought for a while, then said confidently, "But in Japanese anime, the younger sister always sleeps with her older brother."

Lu Zhixing raised an eyebrow: "What Japanese anime?"

"Yosuga no Sora"

Lu Zhixing's expression froze.

"Watch less of that kind of stuff in the future. Watch more serious stuff, like...like..."

He tried to come up with an example for a long time, but couldn't. Because he himself hadn't seen anything substantial.

Song Xiaohe nodded obediently, but her big, dark eyes clearly said, "I will continue to watch."

Lu Zhixing decided not to discuss this issue with her in the early morning.

He sat up straight and habitually opened the attribute panel.

Name: Lu Zhixing

[Class: Necromancer]

[Rank: Lv.10]

Experience points: 12%

[Skills: Zombie Summoning (Lv.8), Breaking All Laws (Lv.8)]

He stared at the level line for a moment: Lv.10. He had taken a nap and leveled up from Lv.7 to Lv.10.

He looked around.

The tents are still there, the beds are still there, the blankets are still there, but the special forces soldiers are gone.

Only one personal maid remained, standing not far from the bed, holding stacks of neatly arranged clothes in her hands.

"Where are the others?"

The maid bowed slightly: "About an hour ago, Captain Bones and the others stopped luring the monsters."

Because the young master was sleeping too soundly, he didn't react much to the monsters thrown at him.

Captain Ye was worried about safety and also didn't want to disturb your rest, so he asked them to stop.

Some people are currently guarding the perimeter, while others have gone on rotation for rest.

Lu Zhixing nodded. It seems that the little zombie is also exhausted.

Just as he thought that, the little zombie icon in his skill bar flashed.

The state changed from "sleeping soundly" to "sleeping soundly (drooling)".

Lu Zhixing decided not to disturb it.

The tent flap was lifted, and Ye Qinglan walked in with Ah Hu and Shi Tou.

All three looked tired, with faint bloodshot eyes, clearly indicating they hadn't slept much that night.

"Good morning, young master!" The three of them greeted him in unison.

Lu Zhixing stretched and said, "Good morning, everyone. You've all worked hard. I slept too soundly last night. I hope I didn't cause you any trouble?"

Ah Hu chuckled憨厚ly, "No, no! Young Master, that was deep meditation! To maintain that precise killing efficiency even in deep sleep, and to keep it up for most of the night, Young Master, you're simply a god!"
