Building a skyscraper to survive, all the female colleagues in the company begged me to carry them.

After finishing his meal, Huang Tang opened the host panel to check what was needed for the next upgrade.

[Current House: A sturdy three-story house]

Upgrade Target: Five-Story Luxury Villa

[Required Materials: 1 five-story luxury villa blueprint, 500 steel, 1000 concrete, 500 bricks, 100 glass, 100 wood]

Huang Tang fell silent.

Five hundred steel?

A thousand concrete blocks?

Five hundred bricks?

He currently has almost nothing in his hands except for food.

The remaining fifty pieces of wood aren't even enough to fill a tooth gap!

"What's wrong?" Chae Rim noticed his expression and leaned closer to look.

After reading it, she fell silent.

"This... is far too different."

"Yes." Huang Tang nodded. "So we need to figure out a way to get the materials."

"How do I do it?"

Huang Tang thought for a moment, then opened the world chat and sent a message:

[Huang Tang: Buying large quantities of steel, concrete, bricks, glass, and timber. Food can be used for trade. DM me if you have any.]

The message had barely been sent when my private messages exploded.

The first one comes from Lord Mengchang:

Lord Mengchang: Sir! You need concrete? I have some! I just found it at a supply depot. I don't need it myself, so I'll give it to you first!

The next second, the system prompted:

Player "Lord Mengchang" has gifted you 100 units of concrete.

Huang Tang paused for a moment, then clicked "Accept".

Watching from the side, Chae Rim's lips twitched: "You still have the nerve to accept his things?"

"He gave it to me himself," Huang Tang said innocently, spreading his hands. "It's not like I asked for it."

"You..." Chae Rim took a deep breath, "Don't lie to him anymore, my conscience is aching."

Huang Tang said with a righteous expression, "We clearly get along so well, don't say such unpleasant things."

Chae Rim: "..."

Jiang Jing'an laughed so hard she couldn't stand up straight: "President Cai, don't worry about it. Lord Mengchang treats Brother Huang Tang like a real brother now, what's wrong with sending him a few things?"

Su Qing couldn't stand it anymore: "Send him something, otherwise I'll feel guilty."

Huang Tang thought for a moment and replied to Lord Mengchang:

[Huang Tang: Brother, I received the items, thank you. If you need any help in the future, just let me know.]

Lord Mengchang replied almost instantly:

Lord Mengchang: You're too kind, my lord! This little bit is nothing! The canned food and water you gave me before saved our entire team's lives! I'll send you more supplies in the future!

After reading it, Huang Tang silently closed the private message.

"Look," he said to Cai Lin and Su Qing, "I didn't lie to him, did I? We're brothers."

Chae Rim: "..."

Su Qing: "..."

The two exchanged a glance, and each saw three words in the other's eyes:

shameless!

Soon, Huang Tang received more and more private messages.

Hey bro, I have twenty logs, can I trade them for ten cans of food?

Huang Tang: No, two cans at most.

Hey bro, I have fifty bricks, can I trade them for five bottles of water?

Huang Tang: You're dreaming. This is the last bottle of water.

Hey bro, I have thirty steel bars, can I trade them for a box of beef?

Huang Tang: Deal!

……

Transactions were completed rapidly, the food in the system space gradually decreased, while the materials were increasing rapidly.

Although each transaction is small, they add up.

Among them are also some players who want to exploit sympathy by feigning poverty and playing the victim, hoping to get something for nothing:

Hey bro, I have nothing, but I'm really pitiful. I haven't eaten for two days. Could you spare me some food?

"Hey bro, let me show you Longjing tea after the rain... [image]..."

[Wow, is this a primeval forest after the rain?!]

[Little sister, can I borrow your phone to talk?]

……

Huang Tang glanced at it a few times and then ignored it.

Soon, the wind direction began to change:

Hey boss, you have so much food, right? Give some to everyone so everyone can survive. Don't be so selfish!

This message immediately drew many echoes:

[Exactly! It's the end of the world, why are you still hiding things?]

There's so much food, what's wrong with sharing some?

[Boss Huang Tang, you wouldn't be so petty, would you?]

Huang Tang frowned as he looked at the messages.

Moral kidnapping?

The women saw it too, and they were all furious.

"Are these people crazy? Why should we share our food with them?"

"Exactly! Those rich people didn't say they'd take out their money and distribute it to everyone!"

"Why should we give away what we've worked so hard to get for free?"

Just as Huang Tang was about to retort, Liu Lingqing from the sales department suddenly stood up.

"Huang Tang, temporarily grant me speaking privileges on the world channel."

Huang Tang was taken aback: "What are you going to do?"

Liu Lingqing laughed: "Teach them how to be decent human beings!"

Huang Tang gave her the permissions with some skepticism.

Then, Liu Lingqing started spamming the world chat:

[Huang Tang: Oh, so you're resorting to moral blackmail now?]

[Huang Tang: It's my skill to have food; if you're so capable, go find it yourself!]

[Huang Tang: You haven't eaten for two days? What's that to me! When I hadn't eaten for two days, did you give me any food?]

[Huang Tang: Those who advocate distributing food, why don't you give your houses to people without houses?]

[Huang Tang: You don't work hard yourself, but you're envious of others' abilities? People like that should be eliminated as soon as possible! Hey you, didn't your mother teach you how to talk to your elders?]

……

One after another, at full power.

People on the world channel were stunned by the insults.

Someone asked timidly:

[Is... Huang Tang, the big boss, a woman?]

[I've never seen anyone curse like this before!]

Your Majesty, I bow down in utter devotion!

Liu Lingqing looked at these replies, sneered, and continued typing:

[Huang Tang: What's wrong with women? Should women be morally blackmailed by you? Get lost!]

After she finished scolding him, she returned the permissions to Huang Tang and clapped her hands: "Done."

Huang Tang looked at the people on the world channel who were being scolded and dared not utter a word, then looked at Liu Lingqing, and sincerely gave her a thumbs up: "Awesome."

Liu Lingqing tossed her hair: "No big deal. I've been in sales for so many years, and I've never lost an argument."

The women applauded.

Lord Mengchang also jumped in to add insult to injury:

Lord Mengchang: Exactly! It's better for everyone to get rid of those who want to reap the benefits without sowing! Don't they realize that we're all struggling to survive right now? With billions of people, how much food is enough to go around? They speak without thinking!

Someone asked:

Lord Mengchang, you're so protective of the powerful Huang Tang, are you his lackey?

Lord Mengchang: What do you mean, "little brother"? We're brothers! Don't you understand?

Huang Tang looked at this and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

This guy is really cute.

But at that moment, the tone of the conversation in the world chat suddenly changed.

[Huang Tang, I never expected you to be a woman! Your Majesty, I bow down in utter despair!]

【Your Majesty, I can warm your bed!】

[Your Majesty, do you like muscular men? ...[Image]...]

Then, Huang Tang saw the world chat channel start spamming like crazy.

The photos are all selfies of men showing off their muscles.

Some were flexing their biceps in front of the mirror, some were shirtless and gesturing, and others were posing in tight-fitting clothes.

"Your Majesty, what do you think of my figure?"

【I'm better than him! Your Majesty, choose me! I'm the Thirteen-Man of One Night!】

Huang Tang was speechless.

I like you my ass!

Behind him, the women were laughing so hard they couldn't stand up straight.

"Hahahaha!"

"They actually thought Huang Tang was a woman!"

"Showing off his muscles! That's hilarious!"

Chae Rim laughed until tears streamed down her face, patting Huang Tang on the shoulder: "Huang Tang, let's see how you seduce other women now! They all think you're a woman!"

Huang Tang looked speechless: "When did I ever flirt with other women? It was those women who insisted on sending me private photos!"
