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

"There is no golden treasure chest."

Bai Tao was somewhat disappointed.

Huang Tang smiled and ruffled her hair: "It's alright. The silver treasure chest is enough."

He opened the system space, added today's gains together with previous inventory, and took stock:

12 Silver Treasure Chests!

25 Bronze Treasure Chests!

49 wooden crates!

Huang Tang's mouth stretched all the way to the back of his ears.

Twelve silver treasure chests, when combined with white peaches, become four gold treasure chests!

Four!

This is incredible!

Add to that the bronze and wooden chests, and after combining them, you get a whole bunch of silver chests.

He dares to say that he is now the richest person in the entire server.

none of them!

"Alright." Huang Tang closed the system space, clapped his hands, and said, "We should go."

…………

In front of the Anywhere Door.

The two teams stood facing each other.

"Master," Lan Mutang said softly, "when we meet again, I will definitely become a true queen."

Huang Tang looked at her and smiled.

"I trust you."

There were no further words of farewell.

Lan Mutang turned around and, with her two hundred-plus slaves, walked into the Anywhere Door.

A flash of white light, and the person disappeared.

Huang Tang stood on the beach, looking at the portal of light, and suddenly felt a little empty.

"You can't bear to part with him?" Chae Rim walked to his side.

"A little."

Huang Tang honestly admitted it.

"Then why didn't you keep her?"

"She has her own path to walk," Huang Tang said. "If she follows me, she'll always just be a 'puppy.' Only by forging her own path can she become a true queen."

Chae Rim glanced at him, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

"When did you become so eloquent?"

"I always will."

"Pooh."

Huang Tang smiled and turned to look at the twenty-four women behind him.

"Let's go home."

The women cheered and escorted him through the Anywhere Door.

A flash of white light.

The goblin island has returned to silence.

Waves lapped against the beach, and seagulls circled overhead.

It was as if nothing had happened.

…………

As soon as they got back to the building, the women, exhausted from the day, collapsed onto the sofa.

He lay sprawled out, completely lacking any semblance of decorum.

"Brother Huang Tang, you're so heavy..."

Jiang Jing'an complained, but her hands wrapped around his waist.

"Brother Tang, your elbow is poking me," Jiang Gelan said softly, but did not push him away.

Su Qing lay on Huang Tang's body, her face pressed against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, feeling a sweet warmth in her heart.

Huang Tang leaned back on the sofa, looking at the ceiling, and suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

Before I knew it, I had been in this game for seven days!

Seven days ago, they were a group of survivors shivering in the flood, without even clothes, hiding in a drafty thatched hut, not knowing if they would die the next day.

Now, they live in a thirteen-story building, with food, drink, guns, and tanks.

The women gradually adapted to this life, overcoming their initial panic and despair.

"The materials are all here, and the blueprints are ready," Huang Tang suddenly said. "It's time to upgrade."

All the women turned to look at him.

Huang Tang opened the system panel and clicked the "Upgrade House" button.

"Boom! B ...

The entire building began to shake violently.

The women gasped and quickly hugged the people next to them.

Su Qing clung tightly to Huang Tang's neck, while Jiang Jing'an and Jiang Gelan, the two sisters, embraced each other. Bai Tao closed her eyes in fright.

The buildings are getting taller.

The walls are extending, the stairs are growing, and new floors are popping up one after another.

Ninth floor, tenth floor, eleventh floor, twelfth floor, thirteenth floor!

The shaking stopped quickly.

The women opened their eyes and found themselves still on the sofa, but the ceiling above them had become higher, and the view outside the window was more expansive.

"You got promoted?"

Su Qing couldn't believe it.

"You've been promoted!" Huang Tang nodded with a smile.

"yeah--!"

The women cheered and hugged and kissed Huang Tang.

Su Qing kissed him on the cheek, and Jiang Jing'an, seeing this, immediately kissed him on the other cheek.

Immediately afterwards, Liu Lingqing, Bai Tao, and others gathered around.

Huang Tang was so overwhelmed by the kisses that his face was instantly covered in smears, but he had only one thought in his mind...

Even the emperors of ancient times couldn't have lived like this!

…………

At the same time, a server-wide announcement sounded:

[System Announcement: Congratulations to player "Huang Tang" for being the first to upgrade to a thirteen-story house!]

[As the first player to achieve this, you will be rewarded with 2 Silver Chests!]

May other players continue their efforts and reach even greater heights!

The world chat channel exploded instantly.

Holy crap! Huang Tang is number one again!

[A thirteen-story building? I'm still struggling on the fifth floor!]

[Comparison is the thief of joy; is Huang Tang cheating?]

[Are you sure this is your first time meeting Huang Tang? He's practically cheating all the time!]

[Congratulations to Huang Tang! Looking for a carry!]

[Please, someone, donate some materials! My house is about to be flooded...]

Huang Tang didn't check the world channel; instead, he opened the system panel to view the upgrade requirements for the next stage.

[Next stage: An eighteen-story building]

【所需材料：十八层楼房图纸×1、钢材×8000、混凝土×12000、砖块×10000、玻璃×2000、木材×2000】

Huang Tang looked at the number and smiled.

He would have had a headache if he had seen such astronomical figures before.

But now?

After a trip to Goblin Island, we not only had enough materials, but we also had a lot more than enough.

The only thing missing is the blueprint for the eighteenth floor!

However, he already had a plan in mind...

Huang Tang was planning his next move when he suddenly noticed that Su Qing beside him was acting strangely.

Her face was flushed, fine beads of sweat appeared on her forehead, and her lips were tightly pressed together; she looked to be in great pain.

"Su Qing? What's wrong?" Huang Tang asked. "You were fine just now!"

Su Qing didn't say anything, her face flushed as she covered her lower abdomen, got up from the sofa, and staggered away.

Huang Tang paused for a moment, then suddenly understood.

When the house was being upgraded just now, the building shook violently, and he and Su Qing were jolted along with it; it was probably an accident...

Huang Tang touched his nose, feeling somewhat guilty.
