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

Huang Tang smiled.

The decision to release the intelligence was definitely the right one!

It provided him with a lot of information, saved him from many detours, and greatly improved his safety!

But after going through all the messages, he discovered a problem.

Aside from merfolk, no one mentioned any other monsters!

He sent a message:

[Huang Tang: I have a question. Besides merfolk, have you encountered anything else underwater?]

Replies came in quickly.

【No, only merfolk.】

I didn't encounter anything else either.

[Hey Huang Tang, are there any other monsters underwater? Don't scare me...]

Huang Tang frowned.

Could it be that Lan Mutang remembered it wrong?

Or were these players just too lucky and didn't encounter them?

He was about to close the world chat when he suddenly saw a message:

Does anyone have a walkthrough for an eight-story building? It's so difficult! I've been stuck on the fifth floor for days!

The following comments echoed this sentiment.

[Same here! Getting from the fifth to the eighth floor is so difficult!]

I haven't even received the five-story blueprints yet, and I've already moved in with another landlord. The price I pay is that I have to offer up my chrysanthemum every day...

[Huang Tang, how did you get the blueprints for level 8? I need a walkthrough!]

……

Huang Tang's heart stirred.

He hadn't sold the extra eight-story building blueprint he had because he hadn't decided on a price.

Now it seems the opportunity has arrived!

Chae Rim had just finished breakfast when she saw the smile on Hwang Tang's face, his eyes full of calculation. She couldn't help but ask, "What mischievous idea are you plotting now?"

"How can you call it a bad idea?" Huang Tang looked innocent. "I'm planning to sell the blueprints for the eight-story building."

How much do you want to sell it for?

"Ten thousand units, any material will do."

Chae Rim nearly choked on her porridge: "Ten thousand units?! Even if those players wanted to buy them, they couldn't possibly come up with that many materials, could they?"

"Don't forget, this is a survival game for everyone right now," Huang Tang said. "Among billions of people, there must be players who don't lack materials."

Chae Rim thought about it and realized she was right.

"But if you dare to make an offer," she said, "I dare say you'll be torn to shreds."

"It doesn't matter."

Huang Tang opened the world channel and started typing.

[Huang Tang: Selling an eight-story building plan! 10,000 units of any materials! First come, first served! Only one available!]

The world channel was silent for three seconds.

Then it exploded.

[Ten thousand units? Mr. Huang Tang, are you out of your mind?!]

Who can afford 10,000 units of material?!

[Dude, do you have some kind of misunderstanding about "first come, first served"? Nobody can afford this!]

[Boss Huang Tang, I always thought you were a good person...]

Huang Tang remained unfazed as he watched the screen filled with insults.

Chae Rim is right, she was indeed criticized.

But this was to be expected.

What he was doing this time wasn't business for ordinary players.

He was certain that someone would contact him!

Sure enough, a private message popped up.

The sender was Xiao Zhenwei?

[Xiao Zhenwei: I'll take the blueprints. 10,000 units of material, deal.]

Huang Tang raised an eyebrow. "You think you're more handsome than me? I've finally caught you!"

He replied directly:

[Huang Tang: Sorry, I'm not doing this business with you.]

Xiao Zhenwei replied instantly:

[Xiao Zhenwei: No… buddy, I really don’t know what I did to offend you. Can you tell me?]

[Huang Tang: No comment!]

There was a moment of silence on the other end.

[Xiao Zhenwei: I know even if you don't say it. Someone must have lured you to my side, specifically to oppose me. But even if it's a holiday, business is business. I dare say, besides me, very few people can afford to provide 10,000 units of materials.]

Huang Tang smiled and replied:

[Huang Tang: I'd rather have it rot in my hands than sell it to you.]

…………

At this moment, in a luxurious five-story villa somewhere.

Xiao Zhenwei looked at the reply on the screen, his face turning ashen.

He suddenly stood up and kicked the stool over.

"Tell everyone," he said through gritted teeth to his secretary, "that you must find this Huang Tang and kill him!"

The female secretary was startled and quickly nodded.

"Also," Xiao Zhenwei took a deep breath to calm himself down, "find out who's behind him. I want to see who's going against me."

…………

Huang Tang closed Xiao Zhenwei's chat window and continued to wait.

Although many people sent private messages to ask, none of them could produce materials for 10,000 units.

Some people asked if they could pay in installments, some asked if they could use food instead, and some even asked if they could exchange their bodies for it.

Huang Tang refused them all.

Right now, all players are frantically collecting materials to upgrade their houses, so where would they find any extra? Ten thousand units is indeed an astronomical number for most people.

Just as he was about to close the chat, another private message popped up.

Sender: Lan Mutang.

[Lan Mutang: Master, the little dog wants to buy that eight-story building blueprint you have.]

Huang Tang paused for a moment, then replied:

[Huang Tang: You have so many materials?]

Lan Mutang: I put together just enough. However, many of them are just filler, so I don't know if you'll need them.

[Huang Tang: Any materials will do. How about I give you a 20% discount?]

[Lan Mutang: No need. Feelings are feelings, and business is business. If the master wants to compensate the puppy, just share more information in the future.]

The next second, a transaction request popped up.

Huang Tang clicked on it to take a look.

Steel, 1200; concrete, 800; bricks, 900; timber, 500; glass, 300… and then a bunch of miscellaneous things. Cloth, cotton, plant fibers, animal hides, bones, feathers… everything.

Huang Tang couldn't help but laugh.

These items can't be used to upgrade houses, but they can be used to make clothes, tools, and furniture.

He never intended to limit it to building materials.

If it's restricted, very few people across the entire server would be able to afford it.

What we can produce probably doesn't even require eight layers of blueprints.

He clicked "Confirm" and sent the drawings over.

[Lan Mutang: Thank you, Master! This puppy is going to upgrade the house! See you at the Anywhere Door later!]

Huang Tang smiled and closed the private message.

He turned around and saw Cai Lin staring at him, her face ashen.

Who is Lan Mutang?

Huang Tang's heart skipped a beat, but in the end, he still chose to tell the truth.

"It's... that woman I met in the Anywhere Door yesterday... the perverted woman who treats men like slaves."

Why does she call you "master"?

"this……"

"What's your relationship?"

Looking at Cai Lin's cold face, Huang Tang knew that lying to her would be too difficult.

And it's unnecessary.

"I've already subdued him," he said honestly.

"How did you subdue it?"

"A man's charm... coupled with some extraordinary methods."

Chae Rim guessed what he meant from his ambiguous expression.

She took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her heart, and solemnly said:

"Before everyone went to the hospital for survival, the company conducted physical examinations, and everyone was safe and virus-free. But when you're with other women, you must take precautions."

"what?"

"What do you mean 'huh'? Doesn't Jiang Jing'an have a box of Durex? Go ask her for some, and carry it with you at all times."
