People in the Alliance, Time Management Master

"Yes... By the way, where did you get so much money?"

“The sergeant gave it to me,” Kai’Sa said. “After each Void Invasion, the sergeant would give me a bag of gold coins, which I never used and have accumulated to this much.”

"..." Mu Bai looked at the bag in his hand and fell into deep thought.

Seeing him deep in thought, Kasha had an idea. "How about this... I'll give you all my money, and you can cook for me from now on, okay?"

"..."

Mu Bai suddenly saw a few words on Kasha's face: rich woman, fat sheep, stupid and rich.

"Then it's decided." Seeing that the other party did not refuse, Kasha naturally assumed that he agreed and immediately smiled happily.

I never knew money could be used like this...

Today I'll pay Mu Bai to cook for me, tomorrow I'll pay him to watch the sky with me, and the day after tomorrow I'll pay him to go for a stroll in the suburbs with me... As long as I have enough money, Mu Bai will belong to me alone.

Hmm, looks like I'll have to work harder to save money from now on.

Ah... that seems a bit despicable...

No, that's not right, this is just a fair trade...

Chapter 82 Caitlin, Infiltrate!

After finishing dinner and chatting for a while, Kaisa left. Mu Bai checked the time and realized it was about time to go back and find Ryze.

By the time he arrived at the Rune Chamber, the test had just ended.

The two old magicians looked at the test results again and again, their faces full of surprise and joy, which made the wrinkles on their faces lessen considerably.

"See? I wasn't lying to you, was I?" Mu Bai smiled and leaned closer. "Almost all of them are 'chosen by heaven,' right?"

"Yes...this...is too exaggerated..."

Ryze's hands trembled uncontrollably as he held the test results, and he was even speaking incoherently.

"You are our hero, a hero of all mankind!"

"I just did what I was supposed to do, there's no need to boast about my achievements." Mu Bai waved his hand, indicating that he was unwilling to accept such an overly lofty title.

Throughout history, no one who has been elevated to a divine status has ever had a good ending. He just wants to live well in this apocalyptic world, and if possible, save the world as well. As for fame... well, forget it, the bigger the tree, the more the wind will blow against it.

“You’re too modest.” Ryze stroked his long beard, which almost reached his chest, his cloudy old eyes full of approval.

"This has nothing to do with being humble..." Mu Bai shook his head helplessly, unwilling to dwell on the issue any longer. "What are your plans for settling these new partners?"

"Good question... Anyway, let them rest first, it's already very late. We can talk about it tomorrow."

"Ah."

Mu Bai turned to look at the group. Just then, Kieran finished explaining the current situation of Bandle City and Runeterra to them.

Their most pressing need right now is to solve the accommodation problem.

"What are your accommodation requirements?" Kieran asked. "Would you prefer something secluded or lively? Something large or moderately sized?"

Although Bandle City doesn't have many resources to allocate right now, it still has to spend them on the precious Chosen Ones.

They are the foundation of Bandle City's defenses, and we cannot afford to mistreat them on such a small matter.

“I need a remote technology workshop,” Jess was the first to make a request. “The equipment should be as complete as possible; I can manufacture equipment for the military.”

“No problem.” Kieran waved generously, then looked at the others.

“We want something secluded! The house doesn’t need to be too big, we don’t have any special requirements,” Norma said, hugging Warwick’s wolf tail.

Soon, the others also made their own requests.

Ekko chose to follow Zilean, wanting to deepen his understanding and research of time; Blitzcrank said he was fine with living anywhere, as long as he had enough batteries; Vi didn't have any needs either, as long as there was a place for people to live; Janna, the goddess of the wind, didn't need a house, she was wherever the wind was.

Caitlin, Jinx, and Seraphine said they would follow Mu Bai wherever he lived.

Camille was the only exception; instead of rushing to choose a house, she asked a question:

"At this point in time, are there still any members of my Phiros family alive?"

“I’m not sure about the Firos family, but Mrs. Piltover does,” Kieran said without hesitation. “If you need, I can have someone take you to them to ask.”

"Well, I'll go ask the Piltover people first before making a decision." This strong woman, who believed in putting family interests first, always prioritized family matters even in the apocalypse.

At this point, everyone's accommodation arrangements were basically settled.

But Mu Bai was a little annoyed. He could barely live in his small, dilapidated house by himself, let alone with three girls. How could he possibly squeeze in?

Is it the human pyramid sleeping method?

It doesn't seem like it's impossible...

“We’ve prepared a new house for you.” Ryze seemed to see through Mu Bai’s predicament and immediately said, “It’s a two-story house, more than enough for six or seven people.”

"...Okay, thank you very much."

"There's no time to lose, I'll have someone take you there right now."

Ryze enthusiastically put his arm around Mu Bai's shoulder, making exaggerated winks and gestures from an angle where the girls couldn't see him—a look that only a man could understand.

He now understood why so many chosen ones were willing to go with Mu Bai.

They don't want to save the world, they just want to eat Mu Bai...

"Take care." Before everyone left, Ryze waved goodbye to Mu Bai meaningfully, "I hope you'll be doing well when I see you next time."

"..." Mu Bai glanced at Caitlin's beautiful, aggressive eyes and replied somewhat uncertainly, "I'll try my best..."

....................................

An hour later, all the arrangements for moving into the new house were completed.

As Ryze said, the house was very spacious. It had two floors, six rooms, and all the basic amenities such as a bathroom and kitchen, and the furniture was all prepared in advance.

"I'll stay in the innermost room on the first floor. You can do whatever you like."

The moment Mu Bai chose the room, a hint of gunpowder filled the air.

There are only three rooms on the first floor. Mu Bai chose one, which means there are only two options left.

But there are three girls here...

"I live on the first floor too!" the three girls said in unison.

"Heh, go ahead and fight over it. Anyway, there has to be one room on the first floor that's mine." Caitlin crossed her arms, her face full of arrogance and confidence. "Don't forget, Mu Bai is mine."

"Come on, Hat Girl, Little White definitely wants to live on the same floor as me the most," Jinx retorted.

“Well… I think Mr. Mu Bai is usually so tired, he really needs my singing to relax,” Salafine argued.

Caitlin raised an eyebrow and curled her lips into a sinister smile.

Just as she was preparing to fight those two vixens for three hundred rounds, a brilliant plan suddenly flashed into her mind.

"Fine, then I'll give you the first floor." She put on a nonchalant expression again. "It'll be good for you to see who Mu Bai loves the most, so you won't keep pestering him."

"Is it a deal?" Although the other two had some reservations, they had no reason to give up such a good opportunity.

“It’s a deal.” Caitlin coldly uttered those four words, then quickly went upstairs.

As the sound of doors opening and closing came from upstairs, Jinx and Seraphine immediately rushed to each "occupy" a room.

"..."

Mu Bai shook his head with a wry smile and went into his room to rest.

It's late at night, time to go to sleep.

So much had happened today that he was exhausted. Within minutes, drowsiness washed over him, and his eyelids grew heavier and heavier.

However, just as he was about to drift off to sleep, the tightly closed door was suddenly pushed open.

A graceful figure slipped in under the cover of darkness.

With the help of the moonlight, Mu Bai could barely make out who it was—Caitlin.

"Shh~ Don't make a sound." The girl, wearing only a thin white shirt, tiptoed onto the edge of the bed. "Tonight... be quiet, there are people in the next room."

She smiled and unbuttoned her shirt, instantly revealing the beautiful scenery inside.

Spaghetti straps, lace, white stockings, openwork...

"How do I look today?"

"I'll cover my mouth myself later, so remember to be gentle, okay?"

"What position do you want to use—wait, wait, no..."

"Well……"

Chapter 83 Traveling with the Daughter of the Void

After experiencing a series of indescribable events, Mu Bai dragged his body, even more exhausted than the day before, to greet the sunrise.

It wasn't that he didn't want to sleep; it was mainly because Jinx was being too noisy.

The crazy little girl found Caitlin completely naked in his room and immediately went berserk, causing a scene that lasted all morning.

After hearing what had happened, Seraphine, looking aggrieved, joined the fray, whispering and arguing with Jinx in Mu Bai's ear.

Meanwhile, Caitlin, the person involved, sat on the sofa with her legs crossed, looking like a victor, silently watching them make a scene.

Left with no other choice, Mu Bai had to forcefully change the subject and take them to find Ryze to discuss serious matters.

Bandle City didn't have many Chosen Ones to begin with, but now ten more have been added, so many arrangements will have to change.

In addition, they need to find suitable positions within the guard force, rather than idling around all day.

Good morning, everyone.

As soon as Mu Bai stepped into the Rune Chamber, he saw Jayce, Ekko, and others. Ryze was discussing with them about joining a special team.

"Good morning," Ryze turned around and greeted him, his thin, blue face etched with exhaustion.

Clearly, he has encountered a problem.

"What happened, Mr. Ryze?" Mu Bai stepped forward and asked. "You don't look well."
