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

The morning sunlight peeked through the gaps in the curtains and fell on the bed.

Huang Tang turned over, reaching out his arm, only to find the bed sheet empty.

Ruan Wenyan had left sometime earlier, but the scent of her body still lingered in the bed, like a ripe peach, sweet but not cloying.

Huang Tang lay in bed, reminiscing about the previous night.

I have to say, mature women taste just the best!

Unlike those young girls, who are shy and hesitant, pretending to accept but actually rejecting.

Ruan Wenyan understands men. She can tell what you want with just a glance, and she knows what position to change to with just a pat on the butt.

The entire process was coordinated and executed flawlessly.

Huang Tang sighed and sat up.

"I can't think about it anymore, or I won't be able to leave the house today."

He got dressed, washed up, and then headed to the restaurant.

……

People were already busy working inside the restaurant.

Peng Jie was frying eggs at the stove, while Ruan Wenyan was cutting fruit beside her. The two worked together seamlessly, chatting and laughing.

Ruan Wenyan's hair was casually tied into a low ponytail. She wasn't wearing makeup, but her skin was fair and rosy, and her complexion was incredibly good.

You'd never guess they'd been battling it out all night.

Huang Tang walked into the restaurant. Ruan Wenyan looked up and saw him. She paused, holding the fruit knife in her hand, and her face turned red instantly.

She lowered her head and pretended to be focused on cutting fruit.

Huang Tang smiled, said nothing, and sat down at the dining table.

The other women gradually got up and came to the restaurant.

Today's breakfast was exceptionally lavish.

Fried eggs, fruit salad, hot porridge, side dishes, and freshly baked bread.

"Wow, breakfast is so lavish today?" Su Qing's eyes lit up.

Peng Jie said with a smile, "Sister Ruan did all of this today; I was just a kitchen helper."

Ruan Wenyan quickly waved her hand: "No way, without your culinary talent, I couldn't make so many things."

Huang Tang picked up a fried egg, took a bite, and nodded: "Not bad. Stop praising each other and come eat."

The women took their seats.

Ruan Wenyan sat next to Huang Tang, picked up an egg, peeled it, and naturally put it into Huang Tang's bowl.

"Huang Tang, eat more."

The atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became subtle.

Su Qing's chopsticks stopped in mid-air, her eyes darting back and forth between Huang Tang and Ruan Wenyan.

Isn't this relationship... progressing too fast?

Noticing the gazes around her, Ruan Wenyan quickly explained, "Huang Tang is usually very overworked, so he should eat more to replenish his energy."

Jiang Jing'an smiled, a smile that held a profound meaning.

"Sister Ruan, you're absolutely right. Brother Huang Tang really needs to take good care of himself! After all, besides killing monsters and finding supplies in the Anywhere Door every day, he also has to work overtime and exercise. It's too much for his body."

Ruan Wenyan panicked and almost spilled the porridge in her hand.

She thought Jiang Jing'an had discovered what happened last night.

Huang Tang coughed and glared at Jiang Jing'an: "Eat your food. Don't talk."

Jiang Jing'an obediently lowered her head and drank her porridge, but she couldn't suppress the smile on her lips.

……

After breakfast, it's time for the most crucial part of the day!

Gacha pulls and crafting chests!

Huang Tang first opened the system panel and clicked on [Daily Card Lottery].

The roulette wheel spun, and golden light flashed.

Congratulations on obtaining: The Eye of God!

[Effect: When activated, grants a 60-second God's-eye view. Allows a panoramic view of everything within a 10-kilometer radius, including buildings, and automatically marks the coordinates of resources, treasure chests, and monsters.]

Cooldown time: 30 minutes.

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

Amazing card!

With this card, once you enter the Anywhere Door, you won't have to wander around aimlessly like a headless fly.

Why not just lock onto the treasure chest's location, grab it, and go?

That smells amazing!

Furthermore, it allows you to know the monster's location in advance and avoid danger.

This card came just in time for me to enter the new Anywhere Door today.

Although what he wanted most was still [infinity]...

"Never mind, I'm content with what I have." He put the [Eye of God] into his system space.

With the addition of the [Pinduoduo Assist] and [Copy] cards in his card slot, he now possesses three concept-level god cards!

……

After drawing the cards, it's time to synthesize the white peach.

Huang Tang took out nine bronze treasure chests from the system space and arranged them neatly in three rows on the ground.

Bai Tao squatted in front of the treasure chest, her hands trembling.

Yesterday's failure is still fresh in my mind.

The three golden treasure chests vanished, along with the equivalent loss of eighty-one wooden chests.

She's still shaken by the experience!

"Brother Tang..." Bai Tao looked up, her eyes filled with nervousness, "I..."

"Don't be afraid," Huang Tang said earnestly, looking into her eyes. "Go ahead and synthesize it. If it fails, it's on me; if it succeeds, it's on you."

Bai Tao bit her lip and took a deep breath.

Place both hands on the treasure chest, and the talent is activated.

Three bronze treasure chests slowly rose, shimmering with a blue light, merging and compressing...

A flash of white light.

A silver treasure chest fell to the ground.

It worked!

Bai Tao breathed a sigh of relief.

"Continue," Huang Tang said.

The second time, the three bronze treasure chests were merged.

Another silver treasure chest!

success!

The third and final three bronze treasure chests.

The third silver treasure chest!

All successful!

Bai Tao slumped to the ground, her forehead covered in sweat, but a long-lost smile appeared on her face.

"That scared me to death...that scared me to death..."

Huang Tang smiled and pulled her up, ruffling her hair: "I told you, believe in yourself."

Ruan Wenyan and Ruan Wei were stunned by what they saw.

"Treasure chests... can be synthesized?" Ruan Wenyan couldn't believe her eyes.

"Bai Tao's talent is [Synthesis]," Cai Lin explained from the side. "Three low-level items can be synthesized into one high-level item with a very high success rate."

Ruan Wenyan gasped in astonishment. This talent... is too outrageous!

Just then, a system notification sounded.

[System notification: The Anywhere Door will open in ten minutes!]

[Time limit for this exploration: 3 hours!]

【Players, please prepare yourselves!】

The women stirred.

"Three hours? Much shorter than last time."

"I wonder what kind of dungeon it is this time."

Huang Tang stood up and looked around at the women: "Who wants to go in?"

Before he could finish speaking, Ruan Wenyan was the first to raise his hand.

I want to go.

Huang Tang frowned: "Sister Ruan, your talent is [Purification], so you can just stay at home. There's no need to risk going into battle."

Ruan Wenyan did not back down. She walked up to Huang Tang and said seriously, "I think it's quite the opposite."

"It is precisely because players with life skills like us are too weak in combat that we become a burden when we encounter sudden danger."

"No one can guarantee that we can stay safely inside the house forever. What if one day, the Anywhere Door forces everyone to enter?"

She looked into Huang Tang's eyes and said, word by word, "In this cruel game of survival, no one can be a flower in a greenhouse."

The restaurant fell silent.

The women looked at each other, then lowered their heads one by one.

Ruan Wenyan's words were like a bucket of cold water, waking them up.

Yes, they can't always be protected by Huang Tang. There will always be times when Huang Tang isn't around, and times when he can't take care of them.

"I...I want to go too." Su Qing raised her hand, her voice trembling slightly, but her eyes were firm.

"I'll go too." Liu Lingqing put down her porridge bowl.

"Count me in." Gu Nianxi stood up.

"I...I'll go too!" Bai Tao hesitated for a moment, then raised both hands.

The women volunteered one after another, making it as lively as a vegetable market.

Huang Tang was surrounded and completely bewildered.

He thought for a moment, then raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Today, let Sister Ruan and Weiwei come in with me first!"
