Traveling through the second dimension, the joy system encourages me to laugh heartily!

The interior of the ring is divided into twelve sector-shaped living compartments, each containing complex functional areas:

Ecological Sustainment Layer (Outermost Layer): An artificial root system nestles within a 5-meter-thick soil matrix. Aerial roots from genetically modified banyan trees coexist with a network of circulating water pipes, purifying 20 cubic meters of air per hour. A floating artificial cloud device projects circadian rhythmic light waves from the dome.

Residential and educational floors: Staggered capsule apartments can be expanded into a three-story duplex, with walls constructed of memory metal creating a flexible space. A suspended holographic library in the central plaza intersects with a surrounding hydroponic farm, while a waterfall cascades down a 30-meter-high glass curtain wall into a gravity-gradient pool.

Core industrial layer (innermost layer): Inside the silver pipes surrounding the central axis, nuclear fusion reactors provide energy for the entire Tiangong space city.

Transportation: Three concentric circular pathways run through the entire ring, a maglev walkway transports passengers at 60 km/h, and an emergency zipline cabin can reach any section within 90 seconds. A zero-gravity shaft in the central axis directly connects to the central hub.

As an outsider in the aerospace field, Chen Ming could not find any flaws in the initial draft of the design, so he did not give blind instructions and just passed it to her in one go!

As for the construction method of the [Tiangong] space city, it is similar to that of the space fortress, except that its size is expanded by more than a hundred times.

Because there is only one [Tiangong], and there are 99 Space Fortresses.

Therefore, the overall construction period is similar to that of the space-based firepower network project, and it will take about eight years to complete.

What Chen Ming needs to do is to materialize the basic components of the space city and space fortress and store them in the warehouse.

Then, [Crimson] stuffed these basic components into an elliptical shell and launched it into space in the same way as the Sky Eye satellite.

In orbit, the T-101 will piece together all the basic components launched up one by one. Because engineering robots do not need gravity, the weightless state makes them more flexible and efficient...

After materializing various materials and adjusting and teaching [Crimson]'s logic and behavior for a while, Chen Ming finally finished his work for the day.

As his total magic power increased, his efficiency also became higher and higher, and daily work did not take up much time.

When Chen Ming used [Teleportation] to return to the villa, it was still pitch black outside the window and it was still early before dawn.

So he didn't wake up Alisi and Alpha like he used to. Instead, he took a shower himself, went to bed, and took a nap with his two beloved wives in his arms...

Chen Ming rested, but [Crimson] continued to work. In the underground city in the back mountain, a large number of T-101 optical sensors drew dense red tracks in the darkness, like a neural network of light weaving deep in the earth's crust.

She quietly adjusted some of the T-101's mission sequences. In the reserved area on the 13th floor, a new processor based on biological neuron principles was being secretly tested. This project, which was not mentioned in the daily report, might give birth to a disruptive next-generation AI architecture.

Of course, this is only part of the surprise that [Crimson] has prepared for its master. There are also the 14th and 52nd floors...

The next morning...

When Chen Ming woke up, it was almost noon, and there was no one around him. His two beautiful wives were long gone.

Seeing this, he lazily asked, "Crimson, where are they?"

The next moment, a miniature holographic projection of [Crimson] appeared on the bedside table and replied, "Mrs. Alpha is currently taking care of the children, and Mrs. Ellish is making breakfast in the kitchen on the first floor." Today, [Crimson] changed into a bright red dress, the hem of which was swirling with streams of 0s and 1s...

"Oh? Elise is starting to become more virtuous too!"

Chen Ming smiled and said, in the past, Alixi was only like a teacher when she was teaching magic. At other times, she was more like a playful little girl who even played games while charging... I didn't expect that she has learned to make breakfast now!

He smiled and sat up to wake himself up, then got out of bed and put on his slippers...

When he went downstairs, he saw a cute figure as elf busy in the kitchen.

At this time, Ai Lixi was wearing a small apron and cooking in an iron pan. Because the range hood was on, she didn't hear Chen Ming coming downstairs...

So much so that she was startled when Chen Ming hugged her from behind, but she soon smelled the familiar scent and realized that the person behind her was Chen Ming.

So, Ai Lixi breathed a sigh of relief, punched him with her little fist, and said coquettishly, "Hate you~ You bad guy, you scared me..."

Chen Ming kissed the big Lolita's neck in his arms and said with a smile: "Hehe, I am indeed likable and I never get tired of looking at me... But my Alixi is also becoming more and more virtuous. This morning, you made chicken soup and cooked dishes. Thank you for your hard work!"

After hearing this, Ai Lixi smiled happily and shook her head slightly.

"It's not hard at all! I can see you every morning when I open my eyes, and then have three meals a day with you at home. This peaceful and beautiful life makes me feel incredibly happy!"

[Ding, Alisi's favorability increased by 1, and the current favorability is 100!]

[Ding, Alisi's favorability has reached the maximum value. The joy power gained from each charge will be multiplied by 10!]

Her favorability level had reached 99 points a year ago, and today it finally reached a new level!

After seeing the system prompt, Chen Ming tightened his arms around the big Loli. The [Eternal Life Potion] depended on her!

Seeing him so excited, Alice continued to pout, "You bad boy! I'm still cooking! Go play games for a while, and you'll be able to eat soon..."

Only then did Chen Ming let go of the hand that was hugging the big loli, turned around and sat on the sofa to play games.

Even if the charging efficiency is increased tenfold, it will take more than one day to collect 10 points of joy power.

It takes long-term efforts to achieve great success!

So Chen Ming was not in a hurry to charge, as he had plenty of time in the evening.

As for the daytime, he still has to teach Maho knowledge, so he can't mess around and teach the child bad things!

At present, he can't do more. Apart from teaching Maho seriously in her studies, caring about her in life, and cultivating good relationships, there is nothing else he can do!

Sure enough, after a while, Chen Ming saw Ma He slowly coming down the stairs.

Seeing him sitting on the sofa, Ma He's eyes immediately lit up. She ran to the side and poured a cup of tea. Then she handed it to Chen Ming respectfully and said filially, "Teacher, you have worked hard. Please have some tea!"

After their brief time together yesterday, Maho had also noticed that Chen Ming seemed to have feelings for her. Talduo had been so well-protected over the years, having never left the Banshan Manor since she could remember, that she hadn't noticed. Or perhaps she had noticed but thought it was normal. After all, everyone in the manor liked Brother Chen Ming, so there was nothing strange about it...

But Maho is different. She has always lived outside and has heard many evil stories about aristocrats from her parents who are in business.

Add to that the slightly suggestive words and glances her parents gave her yesterday when they left...

How could the precocious Maho not understand? She didn't know whether she should be happy or disappointed.

But she was too young to refuse her parents' arrangement, nor did she want to make things difficult for them.

So after watching her parents' carriage go away, she became well-behaved and obedient - no matter what Chen Ming asked her to do, she planned to do it.

But soon Maho discovered that Chen Ming seemed to be a really good person!

Not only did he not do evil things with a strange laugh like the evil nobles in the story,

Instead, he taught her very seriously, first teaching her magic knowledge, then cultural knowledge. Such dedication to teaching and answering her questions actually touched Maho's heart - she was just precocious, not born with knowledge. She did understand that reading could increase her knowledge and broaden her horizons, but good books were hard to find, and wise teachers were hard to find.

Now she saw Chen Ming as a wise teacher. Whether it was magic or cultural knowledge, as long as she asked him, he could explain it clearly and logically. If he wasn't a pedant, he could at least be described as well-informed. (In fact, it was mainly a dimensionality reduction attack. The knowledge reserves of modern college students naturally far exceeded those of the little girl from another world...)

The most important thing was that Chen Ming didn't seem to intend to eat her immediately, but wanted to raise her, which made her particularly happy!

When she grows up, it will be a very normal relationship - many noble lords in their forties will marry eighteen-year-old ladies...

Maho's mentality and actions changed immediately. She began to look forward to Chen Ming's class time. At the same time, she became more well-behaved. She really treated Chen Ming as her future husband and even rushed to do small things like serving tea and water, and she was very happy to do it.

Chen Ming took the teacup with a smile, feeling very happy - he could see through the system identification function that Maho's favorability was slowly increasing.

It doesn’t matter if the improvement is slow, as long as it is improving, because he has plenty of time!

Chen Ming took a sip of tea and praised Ma He: "You are so good!"

Just then, a cheerful voice was heard on the stairs.

"Brother, I want to go to school too!"

Chen Ming looked over when he heard the sound and saw a little girl with long, slightly curly golden hair tied into two ponytails, rushing down from upstairs lively and energetic.

Then he bumped into Chen Ming's arms.

"boom!!!"

What a super headbutt!

"Okay, okay, let's go together."

Chen Ming agreed with a smile - although Alisi was teaching Taldo's magic courses, this did not affect Chen Ming's teaching of her cultural courses.

Anyway, you can drive away one sheep or let two sheep go!

Chapter 105: Demons Appear

Just when Chen Ming was about to teach the two little Lolita,

The TV wall suddenly lit up and began broadcasting live footage from the Tianyan satellite.

At the same time, a holographic projection of Crimson appeared next to the television and reported, "Master, you previously instructed me to pay special attention to observing unidentified creatures... Just now, a group of unidentified creatures appeared on the edge of the Cross Star Forest in the Alban Kingdom and are attacking human villages..."

Is this a monster?

Combined with their height of over three meters and their green-grey skin, they are undoubtedly trolls!

Chen Ming recognized it immediately.

Are monsters starting to appear so early?

Although the original book does not specify when the monster appeared.

However, as a sign that the demons and the demon king are about to appear,

Chen Ming had also made mental preparations to deal with the monsters, and had asked [Crimson] to use the space-based communication monitoring network to conduct global monitoring in advance.

Now, apart from the human village that was attacked, Chen Ming should be the first human to know that the monster has arrived.

"Brother, they are so pitiful..."

Watching the live broadcast on the TV screen, where the weak, pitiful and helpless villagers were being killed by the trolls and crying and wailing, Taldo felt a little uncomfortable.

"Yes, it is their misfortune to be born in this world with heroes and demon kings." Chen Ming sighed.

"Could you help them, brother?"

As she spoke, Talduo's pure golden eyes looked at Chen Ming with pleading eyes.

"Of course!" Chen Ming nodded and ordered [Crimson]: "Destroy those trolls!"

"Good host!"

[Crimson] dispersed the holographic projection after saying this and went to control the space fortress above the Cross Star Forest.

Two minutes ago, Old Tom, the guard of Cross Village, was the first to notice something was wrong.

He pressed his calloused palms on the oak arrow tower and felt an ominous vibration coming from the ground.

This tremor is different from an earthquake, more like the resonance caused by some giant group of organisms moving in sync.

As a roar sounded, Old Tom's pupils contracted instantly - a group of three-meter-tall gray-green bodies smashed the bushes, their moss-covered skin gleamed oily in the sun, and their deformed and bulging muscles bulged out waves of flesh as they ran.

"Enemy attack!"

As soon as Old Tom rang the bell, the arrow tower was broken in half by a flying rock.

As the half-ton rock spun in the air, he could see the thick iron nails embedded in it.

In his last sight as he fell, he caught a glimpse of a strange troll wearing a bronze forehead protector: a slender body compared to its kind, a face covered with suture scars, and a reflective steel battle axe.

The trolls surged over the wall like a rotting green tide—the common ones smashed barns with maces and stomped muddy feet into haystacks, but the bone-adorned elites swooped down on the houses, their fingers as thick as beams piercing the oak doors with pinpoint precision, pulling the screaming women out of the houses along with the doorframes.

When a woman was being dragged upside down by her ankles, a strange troll wearing a bronze forehead protector suddenly made a short guttural sound. Upon hearing this, the troll who was dragging the woman immediately picked up the woman in his arms.

The trolls in this world have a very unique ecological system - they are a race that only consists of males, and they will seek out females of other races to reproduce.

Their reproductive capacity is also extremely high, with mating lasting over half a day. Barely a female becomes pregnant overnight, and offspring are born in about three days... The problem lies with the offspring.

A little-known trait of trolls is that they can produce offspring that inherit the strengths of their mother.

When human villages are attacked, not only will the number of trolls increase, but if they are born from humans, they will gain brains equivalent to those of humans.

Led by a troll like that, the danger level will rise even further.

The men in the village fought back desperately with bows, spears, and even hoes, but they were hindered by the trolls' thick skin and fat, making it difficult to cause fatal damage to them!

Just when the villagers were in dire straits, six beams of light descended from the sky like divine punishment.

No matter how thick the trolls' skin and fat are, they are still just carbon-based creatures after all!

In front of the purple light column with a temperature of up to 5000 degrees Celsius, even steel would melt, let alone the trolls.

The key advantage of laser weapons is that the thickness can be adjusted at will. If you want to attack a fortress, you can attack the fortress. If you want to attack a mosquito, you can attack the mosquito!

With Crimson's precise calculations, there's no need to worry about accidentally harming the villagers...

In fact, Chen Ming didn’t take these trolls seriously at all. They were just monsters that could be destroyed with a flick of the hand!

What really scares him are the demons and the demon king!

There is no need to mention how terrifying the Demon King is. Even the demons are currently unkillable to him.

Because according to the setting in the original work, the demons in World No. 1 are almost immortal.

It's not some little trick like super-speed regeneration or indestructibility.

Rather, it belongs to some more sinister power - this is why only a brave man can kill the demons.

Although the demons appear to have physical bodies, they are projections materialized by the so-called power of existence.

As long as the power of existence is not completely eliminated, even if the demon's body is blown into pieces, it can be restored instantly.
