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

The women stared in disbelief.

This power is no less than that of a cannonball!

The only drawback, Ruan Wei said, is that it can only be used once a day.

Huang Tang took a deep breath and looked at the women: "What are your opinions?"

The women looked at each other, and finally Chae Rim answered on their behalf, "We'll listen to you."

Huang Tang thought for a moment and nodded.

"Alright. You can stay."

Ruan Wenyan let out a long sigh of relief, her eyes reddening again.

But this time, it was tears of joy.

……

"You guys keep playing." Huang Tang stood up, patted the sand off, and said, "President Cai, you come with me and take them back to familiarize themselves with the environment."

Jiang Jing'an raised her hand: "I'll go too!"

Upon hearing this, Su Qing also chimed in, "I'm going too!"

Huang Tang looked at the two "little tails" and shook his head helplessly.

The group passed through the Anywhere Door and returned to the eighteenth floor.

Ruan Wenyan and Ruan Wei walked into the living room, their eyes widening instantly.

"This is... your activity area?"

Ruan Wenyan looked around in disbelief.

The huge space of over 800 square meters has floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the endless flood, while sunlight streams in through the glass, illuminating the clean wooden floor.

Sofa, dining table, bar, green plants... Although simple, it has everything you need.

"The top floor is the main activity area and living area," Huang Tang explained. "After all, in this 'building survival game,' the higher you live, the safer you feel."

"There's also an entertainment area downstairs; you can familiarize yourself with it later."

Ruan Wenyan couldn't help but ask, "How many floors does this building have? How come it has such a large area?"

"Eighteen floors."

Ruan Wenyan and Ruan Wei both widened their eyes at the same time.

They used to live in a five-story luxury villa, which was always at risk of being flooded. Now, standing on the eighteenth floor, it's like heaven and earth.

She never expected that a player could level up so quickly!

Jiang Jing'an smiled and leaned closer: "Sister Ruan, do you still not know who the man in front of you is?"

Ruan Wenyan shook his head blankly.

Let me introduce you!

Jiang Jing'an spread her arms wide, as if introducing some important figure, "This is the number one player in the entire server, the first to upgrade his house every time, the famous Boss Huang Tang!"

Ruan Wenyan and Ruan Wei widened their eyes again.

Huang Tang?

They were all too familiar with that name!

Every time Huang Tang upgrades his house, the system will issue three server-wide announcements!

Throughout the entire game, everyone knows this name!

To their surprise, the legendary big shot was right in front of them, and so young and handsome...

Su Qing puffed out her chest proudly and said, "With Brother Huang Tang here, you can rest assured. We'll definitely stay in the top tier, and perhaps even far ahead of the other players!"

Looking at Huang Tang's retreating figure, Ruan Wenyan made up her mind once again.

Even for the sake of survival, we must firmly establish ourselves on this great ship!

"ah--!"

A scream interrupted everyone's thoughts.

Ruan Wei pointed to the terrace, her face ashen and her whole body trembling.

On the terrace, a baby Tyrannosaurus Rex is sunbathing, showing off its round belly.

"What...what is that?!"

Ruan Wei's voice was trembling.

Chae Rim laughed: "Don't be afraid, that's a Tyrannosaurus Rex. It's very well-behaved and won't bite."

"You're raising Tyrannosaurus Rex!"

Ruan Wei's understanding was completely overturned.

Huang Tang walked over and patted the little Tyrannosaurus Rex on the head.

The little guy purred contentedly, like a big cat.

"Once they're grown up, they might become a great help," Huang Tang said with a smile. "But right now, besides being edible, I haven't seen any other use for them."

He opened the system panel:

"Now that we're family, I'll renovate two rooms for you."

Ruan Wenyan quickly said, "One is enough. My daughter is timid, and if she lives with me, it will save some space."

Huang Tang glanced at Ruan Wei: "Indeed, she's still just a child."

Ruan Wei immediately panicked: "I'm not a child! I was already a freshman in college before entering the game!"

Huang Tang was somewhat surprised.

Ruan Wei has an overwhelmingly youthful appearance; with big eyes, a small round face, and a short stature, she looks no different from a junior high school student.

"So, may I ask this college student," Huang Tang asked with a smile, "would you like to have a room to yourself?"

Ruan Wei hesitated for a second, then shook her head fearfully: "I want to live with my mother."

Everyone laughed.

Huang Tang renovated a soundproof and comfortable room and made a mattress, quilt and pillow using materials such as cotton, cloth and sponge.

"Ms. Tsai is our head housekeeper," Huang Tang said. "If you need anything in the future, just tell her. When I'm not around, we'll follow her advice."

Ruan Wenyan immediately understood Cai Lin's status in the house from this sentence.

"Let me confirm again."

Huang Tang said earnestly, "If you have no objections, I will formally invite you to become my roommates. From now on, we will share both glory and loss."

Ruan Wenyan nodded: "We have no objections."

Huang Tang opened the system and sent invitations to the two people.

The homeowner, "Huang Tang," invites you to join him in his home. Do you accept?

Ruan Wenyan chose "Yes".

Ruan Wei also clicked "Yes"!

The next moment, a system notification sounded in Ruan Wenyan's mind.

Congratulations on joining homeowner "Huang Tang's" house and becoming a full member!

Your talent has been detected as "Purification," current level: 1.

[Congratulations on awakening the "Happiness and Few Children" system! (Not yet activated)]

[Level 2: Purify the Mind (Soothes emotions and eliminates fear)]

Level 3: Purifies toxic gases (can purify toxins in the air)

Level 4: Cleanse Curse (Can remove negative status effects).

Ruan Wenyan was dumbfounded after reading it.

The good news is that her talent can be upgraded, and the effects of each upgrade are more incredible than the last.

Purify the mind, purify the poison, purify the curse!

The bad news is...

Activating the system requires a moment of overwhelming happiness!

How can this be accomplished?

Living in the apocalypse, happiness seems so hard to come by, let alone feeling overwhelmed with happiness?

She looked up at Huang Tang, her face involuntarily turning red.

Because there's a very simple and direct way to experience overwhelming happiness...

Huang Tang was unaware that the newly joined Ruan Wenyan had also awakened the Hehuan System.

He clapped his hands with a smile: "Sister Ruan, you and your daughter go and rest first. We'll throw you a welcome party tonight."

With a flushed face, Ruan Wenyan led the preoccupied Ruan Wei back to her room.

The door closed.

Ruan Wei tugged at her mother's sleeve and whispered, "Mom, why is your face red?"

Ruan Wenyan touched her face; it was frighteningly hot.

"It's nothing...it's probably just from being in the sun."

"But we were indoors just now."

"..."

Ruan Wenyan didn't know how to explain it to her daughter.

All she knew was that from this day forward, her fate was intertwined with that of the man named Huang Tang.
