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

The sky is bright.

Jiang Gelan slumped on the sofa, her hair disheveled, her clothes wrinkled, as if all her strength had been drained away.

But the corners of her mouth were slightly upturned, and there was an indescribable sense of satisfaction in her eyes.

"His talent... has improved."

She spoke softly, her voice very hoarse.

Huang Tang glanced at the system time; there was still one hour left before the underwater treasure chest disappeared.

"That's enough." He stood up. "Let's go to the fifth floor."

Jiang Jing'an helped her sister, whose legs were weak, to her feet, and the three of them arrived at the fifth-floor stairwell.

The water was pitch black, gleaming with a cold light.

The two sisters exchanged a glance, then simultaneously closed their eyes and activated their innate abilities.

[Connecting Everything, Mirror Synchronization]

Jiang Jing'an's vision connected with a group of small fish underwater.

Jiang Gelan's vision connected with another group of shrimp.

Two perspectives intertwined in Huang Tang's mind, piecing together an underwater 3D image.

The murky floodwaters, floating debris, stairwells, corridors, rooms... everything was laid out before my eyes.

There are no mermaids within a five-kilometer radius.

"But there's a problem."

Jiang Jing'an opened her eyes and frowned. "Even with my sister's and my perspectives overlapping, there's still a blind spot."

"The area is not large, about one meter."

"Unless the merfolk know the exact location of this blind spot, they cannot possibly evade our detection."

Huang Tang nodded: "A one-meter radius, let's gamble. Mermaids aren't that smart!"

He changed into a diving suit, put on a breathing mask, slung an oxygen tank over his shoulder, and stood at the edge of the stairs.

Whether I come back alive or not depends on you.

He turned to look at the two sisters.

Jiang Jing'an's fingers clenched slightly, but she still nodded firmly: "Don't worry, Brother Huang Tang, we will definitely make sure nothing happens to you!"

Jiang Gelan whispered, "Tang, be careful."

Huang Tang turned around and jumped into the water.

……

The underwater world remained as dark, murky, and silent as ever.

But this time, Huang Tang had a clear map in his mind. The voices of the two sisters rang out from time to time, guiding him in the right direction.

"There's a wooden crate in the third room from the left."

"At the end of the corridor ahead, there is a bronze treasure chest."

"Go up to the second floor, around the corner of the stairs, there's a silver treasure chest."

Huang Tang is like a fish, darting through the submerged floors.

Wooden chests, bronze treasure chests, and silver treasure chests were collected into the system space one after another.

Fourth floor: 10 wooden boxes and 2 bronze treasure chests.

Third floor: 8 wooden chests, 2 bronze chests, and 1 silver chest.

Second floor: 3 wooden chests, 2 bronze chests, and 2 silver chests.

First floor: 2 wooden chests, 2 bronze treasure chests, and 2 silver treasure chests.

Huang Tang reached out and put the last silver treasure chest into his system space, overjoyed.

Just then, Jiang Jing'an's urgent voice boomed in his mind: "Brother Huang Tang, merfolk are coming! Five of them! They're very fast! From the east!"

Almost simultaneously, Jiang Gelan's voice rang out: "I have five too! From the west!"

Flanking from both sides!

Without saying a word, Huang Tang kicked his legs hard, and his body shot upwards like a cannonball.

The two sisters' voices kept coming: "To the left! Avoid them!"

"There's a group of fish blocking the way ahead, go around to the right!"

"Almost there! Almost there!!"

Following the instructions, Huang Tang dashed left and right in the darkness.

The screams of merfolk came from behind, getting closer and closer, but always just a little bit off.

As he braced himself against the ground on the fifth floor and rolled out of the water, the merman beneath the surface let out a roar of resentment.

Huang Tang lay on the ground, panting heavily, and laughed.

"I'm back alive."

Jiang Jing'an squatted down and helped him remove his breathing mask, her eyes a little red: "You scared me to death."

"Aren't you two here?" Huang Tang sat up and ruffled her hair. "I'm not afraid."

Jiang Jing'an burst into laughter through her tears and kissed him on the cheek.

Jiang Gelan watched from the side, blushing. After hesitating for a moment, she also kissed him on the other cheek.

Huang Tang was delighted, with women on his left and right.

……

Back in the living room, Huang Tang thought for a moment and decided to share the information about the underwater treasure chest reward with all the players.

It's not because he's "kind," but because if too many people die in the beginning, he won't be able to find anyone to kill and loot later on!

Anyway, let's fatten it up first...

Huang Tang opened the world channel, edited a message, and sent it out:

[Huang Tang: Based on my own experience, the rewards for repelling the night attack and killing the merfolk are both located in the floors submerged by the flood.]

The treasure chest has an eight-hour time limit. My reward is 3 silver, 5 bronze, and 12 wooden chests.

[Also, be aware of the underwater ambush by merfolk; proceed with caution!]

[32 minutes remaining until the treasure chest disappears!]

The players who were still awake immediately erupted in the world chat.

"Huang Tang is awesome! He even shared this intelligence!"

"Wrong number one! The treasure chest from the last night raid must have expired!"

"The game designers didn't provide any hints whatsoever! Players have to figure everything out on their own!"

"Boss Huang Tang, how many floors does your building have? How come the reward is so big?"

"Are you blind, upstairs? Master Huang Tang has eighteen floors, five waves of night raids, of course the rewards are plentiful!"

"I've made up my mind, I'm going into the water right now!"

"Are you sure you can get back up alive? Once we're in the water, the merfolk will kill us like chickens!"

"How will I know if I don't try! My fate is in my own hands, not in the heavens!"

"Yes, in this survival game, what's the difference between playing it safe and waiting to die? Since the rewards are so high, it's worth the risk."

……

Huang Tang turned off the world channel and stopped paying attention.

Everything that needed to be said has been said; whether or not they go into the water is their business.

He tallied up the spoils of the salvage operation:

Silver Treasure Chest ×5

Bronze Treasure Chest ×8

26 wooden boxes

Including previous stock, the current treasure chest inventory is:

Platinum Treasure Chests x0

2 Golden Treasure Chests

Silver Treasure Chest ×13

Bronze Treasure Chest ×51

109 wooden boxes

Huang Tang looked at the number and grinned from ear to ear.

109 wooden crates.

Keeping it is just taking up space. The number of times white peaches can be synthesized is used up on gold and silver every day, and the wooden box has become a complete burden.

"I might as well open it," he muttered to himself. "A hundred consecutive draws, maybe there will be a surprise."

He took a deep breath and selected "Open All".

One by one, the wooden crates exploded, flashing with light, and the items poured into the system space like a waterfall.

矿泉水×10、白菜×10、青菜×10、土豆×10、西红柿×10……

钢材×10、木材×10、混凝土×10、玻璃×10、砖块×10……

袜子×10、白丝×10、黑丝×10、JK制服×10、女僕装×10……

Fireball x10, Lightning x10, Lightning x10...

Huang Tang was dazzled by what he saw, but he quickly discovered a pattern.

For every 30 wooden crates, there will be one critical hit!

There is a certain probability of critical hits at other times!

I was lucky this time, 109 wooden crates, and I got 5 critical hits!
