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

The entire building began to shake violently, more violently than ever before.

The foundation is driven deep into the ground, and the buildings are raised higher.

The sixth floor appeared, the seventh floor took shape, and the eighth floor was completed.

The walls became thicker, and the windows became larger.

The vibration lasted for a full minute before slowly stopping.

As the golden light faded, the women found themselves standing in a brand new eight-story building.

The top floor alone is 400 square meters, which is bigger than the entire previous house.

The swimming pool is still there, its azure water shimmering in the sunlight.

What's most surprising is that there's a transparent, constant-temperature greenhouse on the top floor, filled with nutrient-rich soil and equipped with a sprinkler system.

Su Qing was so excited she almost jumped up: "A constant temperature greenhouse! My [planting] talent can finally come in handy!"

She rushed over, touched the glass wall of the constant-temperature room, her eyes shining brightly.

"I can grow vegetables! I can grow fruit! I can grow grains! In the future, we can even be self-sufficient in vegetables!"

The other women all gathered around to watch, and they were all very happy.

Life is getting better every day...

Just then, a huge mechanical sound reverberated throughout the entire game:

[Server-wide Announcement!]

[Congratulations to player "Huang Tang" for becoming the first homeowner to upgrade their house to an eight-story building!]

[Announcement: 2 Silver Treasure Chests will be awarded as a reward!]

[We hope all players will keep up the good work! The flood won't stop, and neither will the building!]

Repeat three times in a row.

The world chat channel exploded instantly.

[Holy crap?! An eight-story building?! I'm only on the third floor! The third floor!]

[I just built a three-story villa... Do you have any tips for beating the game?]

[Huang Tang, a top-tier player, needs a strategy! Looking for a sugar daddy/sugar baby! I'll do anything!]

[I'm a popular female celebrity, please take me in, sir?]

[Which female celebrity are you referring to upstairs? Name them!]

Why give me your name? Give me your measurements!

……

Huang Tang glanced at the world channel and ignored it all.

Popular female celebrities? He already has twenty-four beautiful women around him, he's not lacking.

He walked to the edge of the rooftop and looked down.

The floodwaters are submerging the second level, but the water level is still far from where they are now.

At a rate of one meter per day, even if you don't gain much in the Anywhere Door in the next few days, you won't drown.

He finally felt a little safer.

No more risking your life every time you enter the Anywhere Door like before!

Huang Tang saw that many people had sent him private messages.

Some people want to curry favor with powerful figures.

Some people acted as beggars, asking for supplies.

And some female celebrities actually sent Huang Tang private photos, which were very revealing...

Huang Tang and the women were almost speechless with shock.

"Didn't she act in xxxx? She was so famous! I remember her character was a pure goddess!" Bai Tao exclaimed.

"Yes! She's claimed to have zero scandals since her debut!"

"What era are we living in? Whether you're a celebrity or a president, you have to think about how to survive first!"

Jiang Jing'an asked Huang Tang with a smile:

"Wow, she's a big star! Aren't you tempted? She has such a great figure and is a goddess to everyone."

Huang Tang glanced at her a couple more times and shook his head: "She's just average. Some of you have much better figures than her."

Jiang Jing'an became interested: "Explain in detail."

Huang Tang: "For example..."

He looked at Chae Rim beside him.

The women immediately understood.

Jiang Jing'an joked, "President Cai? How about I take a picture of you so this big star can see what a perfect figure looks like? Huang Tang wouldn't even want her!"

"..."

"Not interested."

Chae Rim flatly refused; she wouldn't film anything so shameful!

"Huang Tang!" Su Qing called out, running happily out of the constant-temperature room. "Can you take me with you next time you go through the Anywhere Door? My talent will definitely be of help!"

"Me too!" Bai Tao raised her hand as well.

"I'm going too!"

"Pick me! Pick me!"

The women eagerly raised their hands, afraid of being left behind.

Huang Tang was getting a headache from the noise: "Take it one at a time, we'll talk about it next time."

He opened the home renovation panel and looked at the remaining materials.

We have enough materials left over this time, so we can really renovate our living environment.

He first upgraded everyone's simple single room to a comfortable, soundproof single room.

The walls were thickened and soundproofing cotton was laid on them; the doors were replaced with solid wood ones.

The room size has also been greatly expanded, and it has a separate bathroom.

"Wow! The bed is even softer now!"

"It's really soundproof! Now I can do some things that adults should do!"

"Please elaborate on the specifics!"

The women cheered with joy as they looked at the newly renovated room.

Huang Tang then used a large amount of plant fiber and cotton to create a luxurious sofa that could easily accommodate twenty-five people.

The sofa was big and soft; you could sink right into it when you sat down.

The women rushed over and rolled, jumped, and piled on top of each other.

"So comfortable!"

"Softer than a five-star hotel's!"

"I love this sofa!"

Seeing how happy they were, Huang Tang's lips curled up as well.

Chae Rim stood to the side, sighing helplessly.

If it were her, she would definitely save the materials for upgrading the house.

Now is not the time to enjoy yourself!

"What materials are needed for the next upgrade?" she asked.

Huang Tang opened the panel.

Current building: Eight-story building

Upgrade Target: Thirteen-Story Building

[Required materials: 1-story building blueprint, 5000 steel, 10000 concrete, 8000 bricks, 1000 glass, 1000 wood]

After reading it, Chae Rim frowned deeply.

"Five thousand tons of steel? Ten thousand tons of concrete? How long would it take to accumulate that?"

Huang Tang smiled and comforted him, "There's always a way out. Besides."

"We still have twelve bronze chests, three silver chests, and one gold chest unopened."

"Which one should we open first?"

He stroked his chin, looking somewhat conflicted.

"Huang Tang".

At this moment, Bai Tao walked over, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"What's wrong?"

"I want to... test my talent." Bai Tao's voice was a little nervous.

Huang Tang became interested: "What do you mean?"

Bai Tao said, "My talent is [Synthesis], which allows me to combine three low-level items into one high-level item."

"I've tested it these past few days. Three pieces of beef can be combined into a can of beef, and three bottles of mineral water can be combined into a bucket of water."

She paused, glanced at Huang Tang, and said, "This time I want to try and see if I can synthesize a treasure chest."

Can you do this?

Huang Tang's eyes lit up instantly.

What if you could combine three low-quality treasure chests into one high-quality treasure chest...?

This idea is insane!

If it can be done, it will be of great significance!

"Are you confident?" he asked.

Bai Tao shook her head and honestly said, "There's a certain probability of failure. That's why I haven't dared to mention it before."

"I know that every treasure chest was earned with your life, and it's incredibly important to us..."

Chae Rim was also listening nearby.

Huang Tang asked, "President Cai, what's your opinion?"

Chae Rim pondered for a moment: "You should make the decision. After all, without you, where would these treasure chests come from?"

Huang Tang thought for a moment and said to Bai Tao, "Go ahead and try. It's okay if you fail, I won't blame you."

Bai Tao bit her lip and nodded.

She placed three bronze treasure chests on the ground, so that even if she failed, the consequences would be within an acceptable range.

"I'm going to begin."

She closed her eyes and placed her hands on the treasure chest.

Talent activated!

Three bronze treasure chests slowly rose to the surface, their surfaces shimmering with a faint glow.

They slowly approached each other, their edges beginning to merge, as if being kneaded together by an invisible force.

The light grew brighter and brighter, so bright that people couldn't open their eyes.

A few seconds later, the light faded.

A brand new silver treasure chest fell to the ground.
