A single-player post-apocalyptic game, but with an all-female teammate mod.

It's a set.

I never expected Dudu to be dressed so formally on the outside, but so sexy on the inside.

The girl's beautiful and perfect body was fully displayed before Aono. Her full and rounded breasts made the fabric in front of her chest bulge.

Aono's breathing became heavy, and he began his next attempt with some eagerness.

He crouched down and began to stroke the girl's delicate, silky legs from bottom to top.

They only stopped reluctantly at the crotch.

At this moment, Dudu's body trembled slightly, and a dark mark appeared in the center of her sexy black lace.

Feeling the amazing elasticity and softness of the girl's inner thighs, Aono drew circles along the edge of the mysterious triangle area that was barely covered by black lace.

Soon, his fingertips felt a sweet and cloying fragrance emanating from below, carrying a hint of warmth and moisture.

Aside from some instinctive physical reactions, Dudu still wore a faint smile.

Like a perfect doll, she allowed Aono's large hands to do whatever they wanted to her virginity.

However, the system notification that Aono was most looking forward to still did not appear.

Even as he slightly parted the girl's fair thighs, inserted his fingers to explore more closely, and even used his tongue to savor them...

The trust level remains as stable as ever—it stays at 0% without wavering.

"Never mind, since we can touch it and it doesn't resist, let's just take it home first."

Aono wasn't sure if the NPCs were stationary; what if they disappeared tomorrow? She'd have no one to blame but herself.

In this world, day and night seem to be separate, and some monsters that don't appear during the day appear at night.

It is more aggressive and dangerous, but drops fewer items.

Therefore, under normal circumstances, Aono is only active during the day and returns to the Ark before dark.

If Dudu disappears again after he gets home, before he finds a way to increase the trust value...

Then let's meet again someday.

This post-apocalyptic world, though described as a game, is more in line with real-world logic in many ways.

But every now and then something that only appears in games pops up.

This includes, but is not limited to, certain rules or props.

The same is true of Dudu, who is now standing before Aono.

He quickly restored Dudu's clothes to their original state, just like he had done with the flamethrower before, and then picked the girl up and placed her on his shoulder.

Dudu kept repeating those two unchanging lines, but her body slumped down limply under the influence of gravity.

Her soft, full chest pressed against Aono's strong back, while her long, smooth legs were pressed against his chest.

As Qingye walked, the girl's delicate body swayed, and her small, jade-like feet, clad in cloth shoes, rhythmically kicked his inner thighs.

Aono was exasperated. She considered changing it to a hug, but ultimately decided against it.

With Dudu completely uncooperative, carrying her is much more troublesome than lifting her, as both hands are occupied, making it inconvenient to defend against monsters, and it's not as convenient to walk as carrying her.

The monsters in the beginner area, especially those near the Ark, have all been killed by Aono.

On the way home, apart from two mycelium rabbits that popped out to give Aono experience at the beginning, I didn't encounter any monsters again.

The sun had set, and the ruins were tinged with a deathly dark blue.

They could already see the Ark's semi-transparent energy shield. Qingye pushed aside the barbed wire blocking his way and quickened his pace.

The moment you pass through the shield, the rotten, damp air outside is instantly refreshed.

The air inside the Ark was dry and clean, but it carried a faint smell of engine oil and cooled metal.

There are no ruins or zombies here, but the cold metal walls and pale, energy-efficient lights are not exactly pleasant either.

There was nothing he could do; he had only been there a few days, and Ark was still at the most basic level one.

The higher the ark's level, the more suitable its internal environment is for human survival.

Aono's tense nerves finally relaxed a little, followed by a strong feeling of fatigue that washed over her eyelids.

Upgrading can counteract physical fatigue, but mental fatigue and physical grime will not disappear.

He put Dudu down from his shoulder and let her stand on the empty alloy ground in the center of the ark.

The girl maintained her gentle smile, her azure eyes seemingly full of spirit, but in reality empty and lifeless.

"call--"

Aono breathed a sigh of relief, not rushing to check the resources he had plundered, but instead walking to the control panel first.

Slide your finger across the screen to routinely check the logs automatically recorded by Ark.

Just then, a line of semi-transparent text suddenly appeared above the girl's head beside him.

Available work: Kitchen

Aono was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood.

Besides fighting monsters and collecting resources, he has spent most of his time these days researching the Ark and similar game-like cheat codes.

Based on the beginner's guide before his transmigration, he had basically figured out everything about the Ark.

The Ark is an absolutely safe haven, containing all the functions necessary for the survival and continuation of humanity.

Shops, kitchens, training grounds, entertainment areas, dormitories, manufacturing stations, and so on.

Some have prerequisites for unlocking or using them.

For example, using the crafting station requires corresponding blueprints and materials; his flamethrower is crafted here using materials dropped by monsters.

Currently, only three areas have been unlocked, including his captain's cabin.

The remaining two are the manufacturing station and the kitchen.

The captain's cabin is where Aono spends his daily life; the core and control panel of the Ark are also located here.

Only with his authorization can others enter the captain's cabin.

To perform certain operations through the console, one must obtain his permission and become the captain's secretary.

He carried Dudu in, so there was no problem with that.

Aono originally thought the kitchen was only for cooking, and he had been using it casually to cook something for the past few days.

But judging from this sudden prompt, there are some uses he is unaware of.

Without much hesitation, he picked up Dudu and headed towards the kitchen.

The three areas are adjacent, with the kitchen just to the left of the captain's cabin, only a short walk away.

Upon entering the kitchen, the orange-haired beauty, who previously only repeated two sentences, suddenly gained an extra line.

"Dear Captain, what would you like to eat today?"

4. Effective mods

"Hmm... how about some shredded pork with garlic sauce?"

Aono tentatively asked.

The next second, the girl she was carrying on her shoulder suddenly started to struggle.

Aono quickly put her down and then waited expectantly.

Dudu then began to wander around the kitchen as if she were a real person.

She first rummaged through the refrigerator for a while, then took the carrots, wood ear mushrooms, and other ingredients that Qingye had stored and walked towards the stove.

Then she began preparing the ingredients.

Then Aono witnessed an artistic scene of washing and shredding vegetables.

Watching Dudu's nimble knives deftly twirl in his hands, he was already looking forward to dinner.

Once the ingredients were ready, the little cook reverted to her robotic form, standing still in place.

Just as Aono was wondering, a prompt popped up in front of him.

[Insufficient materials to make]

Aono's eyelids twitched, then he looked at the only jar of salt on the stove and realized what was going on.

The ingredients for Yu Xiang Rou Si (shredded pork with garlic sauce) are not complicated, but the seasonings required are quite numerous.

He has stored up a lot of meat and vegetables, but he only has one jar of salt as a seasoning.

Clearly, this dish cannot be made.

After thinking for a moment, he tried to give instructions: "Never mind, don't make shredded pork with garlic sauce, just make fried rice with eggs."

"Yes, Captain."

The girl smiled and replied, then resumed her preparations.

"I guess you could say I exploited a bug?"

Watching the busy young cook, Qingye stroked his chin, and his long-standing depressed mood finally improved a little.

In the game, the chef should become a teammate and then enter the Ark with the teammate, and then be assigned to work in the kitchen.

Other similar functional areas are the same; suitable NPC teammates can all move in.

"And once it's in working mode, it feels a bit more intelligent."

Yeah, just a little.

Following the principle of not wasting food, Aono tried to get Dudu to put the shredded meat and carrots she had just cut into the stir-fry together. Dudu said "Okay, Captain" but she didn't actually do it.

In the end, Aono had no choice but to ask her to put the ingredients back in the refrigerator.

Fortunately, NPC Dudu can understand these job-related and simple commands.

Dudu's cooking skills are excellent. Although the dish didn't shine, it was still better than any fried rice Aono had ever eaten.

After finishing dinner, Aono returned to the captain's cabin.

The sweat and blood smell sticking to your body after a battle is really uncomfortable.

He strode into the bathroom, turned on the shower, and let the warm water wash away his fatigue and grime.

Ten minutes later, after changing into clean spare clothes, Aono's spirits finally recovered considerably.

He walked to the kitchen doorway and peeked inside.

The young cook has already cleaned the kitchen.

Sure enough, finding and gathering more survivors, like fighting monsters, exploring, and collecting supplies to bring back to the Ark, are all things that must be done in the apocalypse.

A person's time and energy are limited. Even if they are all mentally challenged NPCs, they can still help Qingye with some things and reduce a lot of burdens.

And he did it even better than he did himself.

It saves time and improves the quality of life.

He turned and went back to the captain's cabin, took out the day's spoils from his backpack one by one, and began to count them.

Gold coins clattered and fell onto the table, piling up into a small heap.

The dusty materials dropped by the mycelium zombies were also sorted and put away.

[Dried mycelium], [mutated glands], [charred bone fragments]...

Its purpose is unclear, and the intelligent system did not provide any information.

But as a player who had played many games, Aono knew that these materials must all have a use, so he kept them all.

Moreover, the store function is not currently unlocked, so he can't do anything about it even if he wanted to.

As for discarding...

The supplies that I finally managed to get from defeating monsters and searched every nook and cranny are just gone like that?

Only someone with a mental problem would do that; it's not like there's nowhere else to put it.

Finally, he pulled out a blueprint.
