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

The girls standing nearby who hadn't contributed anything looked disappointed and envious.

Some people clenched their fists secretly.

Next time, you must perform well!

Don't hold others back!

Huang Tang looked at them and said earnestly, "Tonight proved that you are not just a burden hiding behind me. You can fight, protect yourselves, and protect your comrades."

"Even if I'm not around, you'll be able to protect yourselves if you encounter danger."

The women's eyes reddened as they listened.

Three days ago, they were just rookies who only knew how to scream.

Now, they have killed two mermaids with their own hands.

This sense of accomplishment is even more exciting than winning a million dollars!

After dealing with the corpses of the eight merfolk, Huang Tang sat on the sofa and opened the world channel.

There was a chorus of wails inside.

[Help!!! Our homeowner has been eaten by merfolk! Now the merfolk are banging on the door! Someone please save me!]

[There were originally twenty of us, now I'm the only woman left... Is there any big shot who will take me in? I'm willing to go anywhere...!!!]

[There's a second wave of merfolk coming, we can't hold on any longer! Farewell, brothers!]

Does anyone know if there's a third wave? I'm completely out of ammo and supplies...

The messages scrolled wildly, each one followed by countless "+1" replies, "Me too," and "Help me."

Huang Tang flipped through the pages, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

He glanced at the number of people online.

Current number of online users: 7842361549

It's a few million less than yesterday.

In other words, tonight, millions more people will be permanently logged off!

He specifically searched for the ID of "Lord Mengchang" and found that he was online.

I breathed a sigh of relief.

This kid's information is quite useful, he can't die!

The women surrounded him, their faces pale as they watched the horrific scene on the world channel.

"If it weren't for Huang Tang..." someone whispered.

No one responded, but everyone understood.

Without Huang Tang, they would have become mermaid snacks or been swallowed by the flood, just like those players.

Huang Tang turned off the world channel, and fearing they might get negative, clapped his hands and said, "Alright, go back to sleep. We still need to enter the Anywhere Door tomorrow."

The women nodded and went back to their rooms.

Huang Tang returned to his room, lay on the bed, and stared at the ceiling.

Although he won the battle tonight, it also made him realize that as the house gets bigger, the defense will become increasingly difficult.

We need to upgrade to the eighth floor as soon as possible, and we also need to find a way to improve the fighting power of the other girls.

Just then, the door was gently pushed open.

A figure slipped in.

By the moonlight streaming through the window, Huang Tang could see who it was.

Jiang Jing'an.

He recalled what Jiang Jing'an had said that morning, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

"You're here?" he said softly.

Jiang Jing'an stood at the door, not moving.

Huang Tang found it strange. Wasn't this girl usually very proactive? Why was she being so hesitant today?

"What are you standing there for? Come here." He beckoned.

Jiang Jing'an walked over with her head down and sat on the edge of the bed.

Huang Tang looked at her and felt that something was off, but he didn't think much of it.

"Hurry up," he said, "it's getting late, we need to go through the Anywhere Door tomorrow."

……

The next morning.

Huang Tang opened his eyes and found that the person next to him was empty.

He put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and went out.

As soon as I stepped into the corridor, I ran into Jiang Jing'an.

"Good morning," Huang Tang greeted.

Jiang Jing'an glanced at him, blushed, lowered her head, and quickly walked away.

Huang Tang was taken aback.

When did this girl learn to be shy? It's not like her at all!

Just as I was wondering what was going on, someone tapped me on the shoulder.

"Brother Huang Tang!"

He turned around, and there was another Jiang Jing'an standing behind him, smiling at him.

Huang Tang was stunned.

"You... who was that just now...?"

Jiang Jing'an chuckled: "That's my sister, Jiang Gelan! Brother Huang Tang, you mistook her for someone else last night."

A bolt of lightning struck Huang Tang's mind.

"Last night...wasn't it you last night?"

Jiang Jing'an winked mischievously:

"You're only just realizing? When I went over last night, your room was already occupied, so I didn't go in."

Huang Tang: "???"

So last night he said he and...

"No wonder you regressed overnight!"

Huang Tang couldn't help but cover his face.

Jiang Jing'an glared at him: "You're getting a good deal and you're still acting innocent! You've made the biggest profit, haven't you?"

Huang Tang thought about it and it seemed... that it really wasn't a loss?

"Then why did she run away when she saw me this morning?" he asked.

Jiang Jing'an smiled like a fox: "The little girl is just shy. It's her first time, so she's naturally bashful. Don't worry, I'll go and talk to her in a bit."

Huang Tang looked at her speechlessly.

This woman is really something...

The two went downstairs to the restaurant together.

After being upgraded to a five-story luxury villa, the dining room also became larger, enough for more than twenty people to eat together.

As soon as Huang Tang entered the restaurant, a figure rushed over and grabbed his arm.

"Brother Huang Tang, over here!"

It's Su Qing.

She pulled Huang Tang toward her, where the table was laden with breakfast.

Milk, fried eggs, bread, fruit, and a few pieces of golden-brown fried dinosaur meat.

"The breakfast I prepared for you is all high in protein!" Su Qing smiled, her eyes crinkling into crescents. "Sit down and eat."

Before Huang Tang could speak, his other hand was grabbed.

"Brother Huang Tang, you should eat something light in the morning." Liu Lingqing smiled like a fox. "I've prepared some congee and side dishes, it's good for your stomach. Come sit here."

Su Qing's smile froze.

"Liu Lingqing, what do you mean?" she glared at him.

Liu Lingqing looked completely innocent: "It's all for Huang Tang's own good, why are you in such a hurry?"

"I called him first!"

"Whoever calls first is the one? He eats breakfast with you every day, so what's wrong with me doing it once in a while?"

Su Qing panicked and started to unleash her ultimate move.

Her eyes reddened, and her voice trembled with tears: "Brother Huang Tang, do you remember how we always ate breakfast together, from elementary school, middle school, high school... all the way until we started working?"

Huang Tang was stunned for a moment.

It seems... that's true?

"Your mother always tells you to take good care of me," Su Qing said, her eyes brimming with tears, "and she even said she'd be your wife when I grow up. Don't you want me anymore?"

Huang Tang: "..."

That's a pretty ruthless tactic.

Liu Lingqing was also stunned, not expecting Su Qing to directly use the "childhood sweetheart" weapon.

But she reacted quickly and immediately retorted: "Little sister Su Qing, Brother Huang Tang has had breakfast with you so many times, what's wrong with letting me have him this once? He's not your private property."

"I didn't say you can't! But you have to wait in line!"

"Queue up? Do you think this is a cafeteria?"

The two of them talked back and forth, neither willing to give in.

Jiang Jing'an stood to the side, watching the drama unfold, secretly relieved.

Luckily, I had the foresight to be the first to eat the yellow tangerine...

Otherwise, we'd have to compete with them for it now.

Chae Rim sat to the side, completely dumbfounded.

It's only just begun, and it's already escalated to this point?

What will happen in the future?

As she looked at Huang Tang, who was sandwiched between two women, the thought in her mind grew stronger and stronger.

Can't wait any longer!

If we wait any longer, the daylilies will get cold!

She took a deep breath and was about to stand up and take the initiative when Huang Tang, who was having a headache from the two women arguing, plopped down next to her.

"Stop arguing," Huang Tang said, picking up the bowl of porridge in front of him. "I'll eat with President Cai today."

Su Qing and Liu Lingqing were both stunned.

They argued for a long time, but in the end, Chae Rim got the lucky break.

The two stomped their feet in anger, glared at each other, and secretly competed with one another.

Chae Rim was also a little confused.

So this is what it feels like to find a bargain?

She glanced at Huang Tang beside her, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.

Huang Tang sighed as he drank his porridge.

They say three women make a drama, but he has twenty-four around him. I'm afraid he'll be watching "Empresses in the Palace" every day from now on.

"Isn't it great to have so many women fighting over you?" Chae Rim asked him softly.

Huang Tang thought for a moment and nodded seriously: "Now that you mention it, it does feel pretty good."

Chae Rim rolled her eyes at him: "Shameless!"
