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 system panel.

[Daily Card Lottery: 1 chance remaining]

The roulette wheel spun, and golden light flashed.

Congratulations on winning: Developer Mode!

[Card Level: SS-level Information Card]

[Effect: After use, you can view the "Settings," "Hidden Rules," and "Monster Weakness Hints" for the current map, and see through NPCs' lies. The effect lasts until you leave the current map.]

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

This card is awesome!

Although you can't kill monsters directly, in an unknown map, information is life.

He looked at the silver treasure chest and eight bronze treasure chests in the system space, feeling somewhat conflicted.

I haven't opened the silver treasure chest yet, but I've saved up eight bronze treasure chests.

"Should we open it or not?"

After thinking for a moment, he decided to open the silver treasure chest first.

Keep saving up bronze chests, collect ten and open them all at once, maybe there'll be a guaranteed reward.

He took out the silver treasure chest and opened it.

A flash of golden light.

[Received: 10 Survival Coins]

Huang Tang was stunned.

Survival coins?

What is that?

He carefully read the instructions.

Survival Coins: A special item usable in specific scenarios. Its purpose is unknown; please explore on your own.

"That's it?" Huang Tang exclaimed in disbelief. "This is what you get from a silver treasure chest?"

The women gathered around, looking at the ten gold coins, completely baffled.

"Will we be able to buy things in the future?" Bai Tao guessed.

"Or perhaps he could be resurrected?" Jiang Jing'an's imagination ran wild.

Huang Tang shook his head and put away the survival coins.

Who cares? It'll definitely come in handy later anyway.

Just because you don't need it now doesn't mean you won't need it in the future.

Since it was still early after dinner, Huang Tang wanted to stretch his muscles.

He hasn't even swum in that outdoor pool on the fifth floor yet.

He changed into his swimming trunks and had just walked to the edge of the pool when a voice rang out.

"Brother Huang Tang!"

Jiang Jing'an is already in the water.

She was wearing a black bikini, showing off her figure, and was waving at him from the edge of the pool.

"Come quick! The water feels so good!"

Huang Tang's eyes lit up, and he jumped into the water.

Jiang Jing'an immediately grabbed his arm and said pitifully, "Brother Huang Tang, I can't swim, can you teach me?"

Huang Tang looked down at the way she was hugging him.

This isn't about wanting to learn to swim; it's clearly...

But of course he wouldn't refuse.

"Okay, I'll teach you."

Huang Tang supported Jiang Jing'an's waist and encouraged her to try kicking her legs.

Jiang Jing pretended to struggle a few times, then "accidentally" fell into his arms.

"Oh dear, I'm scared..."

Huang Tang caught her steadily.

It feels so good.

Just then, there were two "thumps".

Su Qing and Liu Lingqing also jumped into the pool.

Both of them were wearing swimsuits, and although they weren't as daring as Jiang Jing'an, they still looked very refreshing.

"Brother Huang Tang, can you teach us too?" Su Qing swam over.

"Yes, we don't know how either," Liu Lingqing said with a harmless smile.

Just as Huang Tang was about to agree, Jiang Jing'an grabbed his waist and said coquettishly, "I haven't learned it yet, you guys wait a bit."

Su Qing said angrily, "Jiang Jing'an, you're such a green tea b*tch! You clearly want to monopolize Brother Huang Tang!"

Jiang Jing'an blinked, looking completely innocent: "But I really can't swim."

"you!"

"Brother Huang Tang, say something!" Su Qing said angrily.

"Uh, I'll teach you tomorrow."

Huang Tang still felt that Jiang Jing'an was considerate, letting him eat tofu as he pleased.

Moreover, he didn't think Jiang Jing'an was a scheming woman; she was clearly a caring older sister who doted on her brother...

Su Qing was so angry she couldn't speak.

Liu Lingqing watched from the side, and gritted her teeth as well.

This Jiang Jing'an is on a whole other level.

Even if the two of them were combined, they probably wouldn't be a match for each other.

Su Qing and Liu Lingqing exchanged a glance and suddenly understood each other.

"Let's form an alliance," Liu Lingqing whispered.

"Let's form an alliance!" Su Qing nodded. "Kick her out first, then we'll compete!"

Chae Rim stood by the pool, watching this scene, and shook her head helplessly.

She witnessed Jiang Jing'an's scheming and methods from beginning to end; even the two of them combined couldn't defeat Jiang Jing'an.

Huang Tang was having a good time teaching when a system notification suddenly sounded:

The Anywhere Door will open in 60 seconds.

Please prepare.

Huang Tang had no choice but to let go of Jiang Jing'an: "Practice on your own, I'll teach you again tomorrow."

He climbed ashore, dried himself off, and got dressed.

The Anywhere Door slowly appeared.

This time, the light gate had an eerie dark red hue, as if it had been soaked in blood, or like an ominous illustration from a fairy tale.

Huang Tang used the [Developer Mode] card and looked at the Anywhere Door.

More information appears on the door:

[Dark Fairy Tale World]

This world is completely different from the fairy tales we are familiar with; happy endings may not exist here. Players, please do not trust anyone you see.

[Tip: NPCs on the roadside may give you more information, but they often ask for special items. Please trade with caution.]

[Exploration Time Limit: 12 hours]

Huang Tang felt a chill run down his spine.

Twelve hours?

The longest one.

Could this "Anywhere Door" be the map that Lord Mengchang visited yesterday?

If so, according to Lord Mengchang, 80% of the players died inside!

Extremely dangerous!

Moreover, Lord Mengchang also told him: Don't believe Snow White!

"This Anywhere Door is probably very dangerous; I'll go in myself."

He turned to look at the women.

"No!"

Liu Lingqing immediately stepped forward, "The hint says that you might be able to get information by talking to NPCs on the roadside."

"My talent [Persuasion] is persuasive to both NPCs and monsters, and I can get the best deals when trading with NPCs. Take me with you, and I can help you get more information."

Huang Tang looked at her: "This is very dangerous. Have you thought it through?"

Liu Lingqing laughed: "I've thought it through. After so many years in sales, what haven't I seen? They're just NPCs, I can fool them completely."

Huang Tang thought for a moment and nodded.

Her talent was indeed useful.

"I want to go too!" Su Qing immediately raised her hand.

Huang Tang shook his head: "We're going to risk our lives, don't make things worse."

Su Qing pouted angrily.

She only regretted that her talent was [planting], but so far she hadn't seen any use for it!

Huang Tang looked at Cai Lin: "This time it will take a long time, so I'll leave the house to you."

Chae Rim nodded solemnly: "Don't worry."

Huang Tang then looked at the women, his face stern, and said, "When I'm not around, everyone must listen to President Cai. Anyone who disobeys..."

He grinned mischievously: "Wait till I get back, you're going to get a spanking!"

The women were stunned for a moment, then their faces turned completely red.

"Huang Tang, you...!"

"Who asked you to hit me!"

"Hate!"

But despite blushing, some people's eyes began to wander, and they seemed lost in thought.

Huang Tang was speechless.

At first, they were all very shy.

Why is the social atmosphere getting more and more distorted these days?
