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

"Peng Jie prepared all the barbecue; Huang Tang just took the wood out of the system space."

Chae Rim couldn't help but say something.

All the women turned to look at her.

"That's really tough, you know!"

"Exactly! How could you say that, Mr. Cai?"

"That's right! If it weren't for Huang Tang, would we be able to eat barbecue? Would we be able to have a beach vacation? We'd probably have been eaten by the merfolk long ago!"

"Mr. Cai, how can you be so ungrateful?"

Chae Rim: "..."

So she's become an ingrate?

Doesn't she know how to be grateful?

Her thighs are still shaking!

Jiang Jing'an watched Cai Lin's discomfiture from the sidelines, secretly amused.

However, she was also somewhat surprised.

Huang Tang's charm is just too great!

In just a few days, they've all turned out like this.

What happened to the initial reserve?

She'd like to see who dares to mock her for being a "green tea" now!

……

This is exactly the effect Huang Tang wanted.

Now, the happiness index not only helps girls, but it can also be upgraded for men!

Of course we need to work even harder!

Strive to max out your own talent and the talents of all the girls!!

Win-win situation, guaranteed profit!

but……

There are still too few girls who have activated the system! The increase in happiness index is really limited!

Looks like I need to think of a solution...

Since you guys aren't taking the initiative, then I'll have to...

Huang Tang opened the system and accidentally pressed the camera button.

"Click."

A photo was taken.

In the photo, he is surrounded by a group of beautiful women in swimsuits; some are feeding him meat, some are massaging his shoulders, and some are rubbing his legs...

The background features a campfire, a beach, and coconut trees...

In the distance lies the boundless sea.

The visuals are extremely extravagant!

Then, by accident, I clicked the send button.

The photo was posted on the world channel.

The world chat channel exploded instantly.

Holy crap!!! What an amazing life!!!

[Is Huang Tang, the big boss, on vacation at the beach? There's even a bonfire? And beautiful women? Can anyone tell me what's going on?]

Twenty-four! I counted, there are exactly twenty-four! It's practically a birth!

I haven't eaten for two days, please give me a piece of meat...

[Hey bro, I'm a beauty too! Looking for a place to stay! I'll warm your bed!]

Is this the key point? Now that most doors are closed, how can he still have a bonfire party on the beach?

There's a cheat! There's definitely a cheat!

[It's confirmed! Huang Tang's true identity is an NPC!]

NPC my foot!

A long-lost ID popped up.

It was Lord Mengchang!

[Lord Mengchang: Huang Tang is my own brother! My brother's ability to cheat in this apocalypse is his skill. If you can do it, why don't you do it too? If not, shut up!]

With just a few words, he silenced those players who were filled with envy, jealousy, and hatred.

The world channel was silent for a few seconds.

Then someone said timidly:

Lord Mengchang, didn't you say you were going to challenge some deserted island dungeon? Did you come out alive?

Lord Mengchang: Nonsense! Otherwise, why would I be speaking here?

Huang Tang looked at the name of Lord Mengchang and smiled.

This younger brother is quite loyal.

Immediately afterward, his private message notification popped up.

[Lord Mengchang: Brother, you have no idea what I've been through these past two days! It's been awful! This building-tower survival game is inhumane!]

Huang Tang replied:

What's wrong?

Lord Mengchang: [These past two days, I and several other players from other houses have entered a deserted island through a portal.]

[System rules state that only one person can leave a house alive within 48 hours!]

Huang Tang raised an eyebrow.

Isn't this the Hunger Games?

Lord Mengchang:

[This is basically making us kill each other! I was lucky; the players in the other houses weren't very strong.]

Even so, my side has suffered heavy casualties...

Lord Mengchang:

[The rewards were indeed generous; all the loot from the dead players went to me, along with treasure chests and a large amount of materials. It was thanks to this that I was able to successfully reach level thirteen.]

Huang Tang: [Congratulations.]

Lord Mengchang:

[I'm nowhere near as good as my older brother. You're already at the eighteenth floor, and I'm only at the thirteenth.]

[By the way, bro, if you ever encounter one of those "anywhere doors" in the future, be extremely careful! Those players will do anything to survive!]

Huang Tang: [Thanks. I've got it.]

Lord Mengchang: [There's one more thing. Brother, how many people are in your house?]

Huang Tang instantly became alert.

Of course, he couldn't possibly reveal all his secrets to anyone, not even this "little brother"!

Huang Tang: [What's up?]

Lord Mengchang: [Brother, don't misunderstand. I've heard that this game becomes increasingly reliant on the team's overall combat strength as it progresses.]

Many landlords are now kicking out players who haven't awakened their talents or whose talents are only average, and then recruiting new players with strong talents.

Brother, you are now undoubtedly the number one! If you were to start recruiting, I'm sure many talented players would be eager to join.

After reading the message, Huang Tang remained silent for a few seconds.

The women kept peeking at Huang Tang's chat interface.

When they saw the word "expulsion," everyone's expression changed.

So far, apart from Bai Tao, Cai Lin, and Liu Lingqing, who have shown irreplaceable value, most of the others, while useful, don't seem to be indispensable!

If Huang Tang wants to expel the "useless" people...

They dared not think any further!

Huang Tang noticed the women's expressions and knew what they were worried about.

He smiled and replied to Lord Mengchang:

Huang Tang: [Thank you for telling me all this. But every one of my staff members is indispensable; I won't abandon any of them!]

The women's eyes instantly welled up with tears upon seeing these words.

Su Qing was the first to rush over, hugging Huang Tang's neck tightly, burying her face in his shoulder, and tears streaming down her face.

"Brother Huang Tang...you scared me to death..."

Bai Tao also came over and hugged him from the side, without saying a word, just pressing her face against his arm.

Liu Lingqing put down her juice, leaned against his back, and wrapped her arms around his waist.

One by one, the crowd surrounded Huang Tang, forming a zongzi-like shape.

Huang Tang was squeezed so tightly he could hardly breathe, but his heart was warmed.

He patted Su Qing's head: "Alright, alright, don't cry. I mean what I say, I won't abandon anyone."

Lord Mengchang sent another message:

[Brother, you're so kind! I was just offering a suggestion.]

[If you want to recruit new people in the future, you should do so as soon as possible. I heard that some big landlords have already started poaching people from all over the place.]

Huang Tang:

Okay. Take care.

Lord Mengchang:

[The eldest brother too!]

Huang Tang closed the chat window, looked up and saw the women still staring at him with red eyes, and couldn't help but smile.

"Don't worry! I said I wouldn't abandon you! Rest assured!"

The women then stopped crying and started laughing.

Jiang Jing'an leaned closer and asked a crucial question: "Brother Huang Tang, doesn't the host have absolute control over the members? How can they recruit players at will? Aren't members supposed to be unable to leave?"

"Could there be... other possibilities?!"
