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

He opened the homeowner panel to check what was needed for the next upgrade.

Current property: Five-story luxury villa

Upgrade Target: Eight-Story Building

[Materials needed: 1 eight-story building blueprint, 2000 steel, 5000 concrete, 3000 bricks, 500 glass, 500 wood]

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

An eight-story building!

At a rate of one meter of floodwater per day, an eight-story building can hold out for at least several days!

Even if the harvest is not great for a day or two, the house will not be flooded!

He was determined to get that eight-story building!

Let's take another look at the materials in our hands:

Steel × 1250, Concrete × 2940, Bricks × 1480, Glass × 290, Timber × 382.

Not much difference!

It's entirely possible to gather enough food through trade!

Huang Tang was in a great mood and took out the corpses of two velociraptors from the system space.

"Peng Jie," he called out.

A girl with a ponytail walked over.

Peng Jie is an administrator at the company; her talent is being a chef.

"Huang Tang, what's wrong?"

Huang Tang pointed at the two velociraptors: "Help me process this dinosaur meat and cut it into small portions. We're having a dinosaur feast tonight."

Peng Jie's eyes lit up: "Okay!"

Her talent activated, and the two velociraptors automatically decomposed into neat pieces of meat, chunks, and shreds, arranging them in their respective categories.

Huang Tang smiled and said to the women, "Dinosaur meat can strengthen your bodies, so eat more later. Let's strive to ensure that everyone has the ability to protect themselves in the future."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than someone started making lewd jokes:

"Improve physical fitness? Specifically, which aspect? Is that part okay too?"

"My breasts are too small, can they be made bigger?"

Huang Tang was speechless: "This... I'm afraid not."

Then someone asked, "Can my legs be made longer?"

Huang Tang was exasperated: "If you grow any longer, you'll turn into the Steel Shadow! Dinosaur meat only enhances strength, speed, and physical attributes, not makes you more beautiful!"

The women laughed so hard they were doubled over.

Huang Tang discovered that his female colleagues had started to flirt with him.

Peng Jie busied herself in the kitchen, while the others helped her.

Soon, plates of dinosaur meat were served.

Grilled dinosaur steak, stewed dinosaur meat, dinosaur meatball soup, pan-fried dinosaur meat...

The aroma is irresistible, making your mouth water.

"start!"

Everyone sat together and enjoyed the meal.

"Mmm...it's so delicious!"

"This meat is so tender!"

"It smells even better than beef!"

"Peng Jie, your cooking skills are amazing! You could totally open a big restaurant!"

Peng Jie was a little embarrassed by the praise: "Actually, my cooking skills are just average. It's mainly because I have amazing [chef] talent, and dinosaur meat is delicious. If I can level up in the future..."

She suddenly stopped talking halfway through.

Because everyone is watching her.

Peng Jie blushed and shook her head repeatedly, "It's nothing, it's nothing!"

Huang Tang looked at her suspiciously: "Your talent can be upgraded?"

"cannot!"

Peng Jie immediately denied it, shaking her head vigorously.

Huang Tang looked at her, then at the subtle expressions on the other people's faces, and felt that something was off.

There seems to be some secret among these women.

But he was too lazy to ask any more questions.

Anyway, they won't harm themselves.

After finishing his meal, Huang Tang suddenly had a whimsical idea.

He took a picture of the dining table.

A table laden with dinosaur meat, accompanied by red wine, with the night view outside the floor-to-ceiling windows as a backdrop.

Then, by accident, it was posted to the world channel.

It also included a line of text:

[Huang Tang: Today's dinner tasted pretty good.]

The world channel was silent for three seconds.

Then it completely exploded.

【？？？？？】

Meat?! There's so much meat!!!

[What's that in the background? A swimming pool? This guy even has a swimming pool?!]

Did you notice? There's a ring of legs next to them! Long, slender, and fair legs!

[Dude, are you trying to survive? Or are you on vacation?!]

While I'm still eating expired compressed biscuits, you're living in a villa with a swimming pool, eating meat and drinking alcohol?!

Comparing people is a recipe for disaster; comparing goods is a recipe for discarding them!

Huang Tang smiled as he read the replies, then posted another one:

[Huang Tang: This isn't ordinary meat, it's dinosaur meat. Eating it will enhance your physique. In this game, you all know what enhancing your physique means. There's not much meat left; if you want to trade, send me a private message with the materials.]

Now, even more people have gone crazy.

[Enhance your physique? Doesn't that just make you stronger?!]

[Boss, I need it! I have steel!]

[I have concrete! Can I trade it for ten pounds of meat?!]

[I have a beautiful older sister, can I exchange one pound for her?]

[Please post a picture of your sister upstairs!]

Private messages flooded in.

Huang Tang read through each one, replying to those with more detailed information.

50 steel pieces can be exchanged for two kilograms of dinosaur meat.

make a deal!

100 cubic meters of concrete can be exchanged for three kilograms of dinosaur meat.

make a deal!

80 bricks can be exchanged for two pounds of dinosaur meat.

make a deal!

……

He was fearless in the face of any material that came his way.

In just one hour, one-tenth of the dinosaur meat was traded away, and the amount of materials in the system space increased significantly.

"36 dinosaurs were still not enough." Huang Tang regretted it a little. "If I could go again, I would definitely become a wholesaler."

Just then, a familiar private message popped up.

Lord Mengchang: Hey boss! Are you there? I'd like to trade for some dinosaur meat too!

Huang Tang smiled.

The fish took the bait on its own.

[Huang Tang]: Yes.

[Lord Mengchang]: 80 steel, 150 concrete, 60 bricks! Replace them all!

Huang Tang thought for a moment and replied:

[Huang Tang]: Your materials saved me from a tight spot last time, so I don't need to exchange them this time. Here's ten pounds of dinosaur meat for you as a token of my gratitude.

Lord Mengchang: !!!

Lord Mengchang: My lord! How could I possibly accept this!

[Huang Tang]: Don't be so polite, we're all brothers.

At this moment, inside a three-story villa.

A young man took off his glasses and wiped away the tears streaming down his face.

Then he turned to his brothers behind him and said, "Look, this is a real man!! My forever big brother!"

"From today onwards, if you see or hear anyone who dares to slander the 'Huang Tang' boss, I'll kill them!"

The brothers all shouted in unison, "Yes, boss!"

The other side remained silent for a few seconds.

Then, Lord Mengchang's reply arrived, his words brimming with excitement:

Lord Mengchang: My lord! From this day forward, you are my own brother! Just give me any orders! If I, Lord Mengchang, ever flinch in the face of fire or water, I'm no human!

Huang Tang looked at the message and a slight smile appeared on his lips.

This is exactly the effect he wanted.

Sending away some food you can't finish in exchange for a loyal "little brother" is worth it.

Moreover, this underling has another purpose...

[Huang Tang]: By the way, which map did you enter today?

The reason he cultivated a closer relationship with Lord Mengchang was to extract information about resource points on other maps from him.

Otherwise, he'd be bored out of his mind to chat with a man every day.

[Lord Mengchang]: Don't even mention it, the [Fairy Tale World] I entered today was absolutely terrifying!
