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

After clearing out two metal buildings with Coco and bringing her to level 12, Aono began to increase his own experience after gaining basic self-destruct energy to face mechanical monsters.

However, it's practically impossible to fill the remaining experience points today.

At 5:30 p.m., Qingye and his group of five returned to the Ark base one after another.

After dinner, Aono and Dudu returned to the training room to continue extracting chakra.

Tsunade lay down beside them, providing a buff to the two of them.

Ying then took Coco to familiarize herself with the other functional buildings inside the Ark.

The main focus is on the shop; we'll see if we can trigger Coco's recruitment and whether there will be any special effects.

49. A chance encounter during a night raid

An hour later, Ying returned to the training ground with Coco.

Just then, Aono's training session ended.

He didn't buy two hours of training time at once today.

Before accumulating enough upgrade materials, time in the training room is limited and needs to be allocated wisely.

After a day of leveling up, Coco has a good enough foundation to try extracting chakra.

However, before that, we need to confirm Coco's onboarding status.

"Coco, how's it going? Can I join the store?"

The silver-haired woman smiled slightly, "Yes, after joining the company, I can earn 10% of the gold coins and a small amount of experience when buying and selling goods."

"If the goods are related to firearms, including materials and blueprints, the profits will increase by 40%."

Aono nodded; it was almost exactly as he had predicted.

Just like when Dudu joined the cafeteria and Tsunade joined the training room.

Merchants can join shops, and in addition to basic bonuses, they will receive additional bonuses based on their personal talents.

The gold coins and experience gained after joining the company are relatively few compared to fighting monsters, so little that they can be almost ignored.

The greater the risk, the greater the potential reward.

The main focus of life-related careers is safety and long-term development.

Even in the later stages of development, it still cannot catch up with combat professions of the same level.

If staying safely in the rear yields greater rewards than risking one's life, who would bother going out to fight?

"Hmm, not bad. Even if we don't need the firearms right now, it's like getting a 10% discount on the product."

After thinking for a moment, Qingye simply said, "Koko, you will be in charge of the procurement of supplies and daily management within the Ark from now on."

Coco is currently the only person with talent in internal affairs.

After the Ark reached level three, Aono had already planned to appoint her as the vice-captain, effectively in charge of the Ark's management.

This is just a matter of bringing it forward a little, which also allows Coco to familiarize herself with the work content in advance.

Knowing people and making good use of them is an important quality of a leader.

Doing everything yourself is not advisable.

This is a valuable lesson that Aono has learned from the wisdom of his ancestors over thousands of years.

He only needs to grasp the general direction.

His mission is to strive to improve his strength and become a captain with absolute power and force.

Coco's eyes lit up.

This is not just a task, but a manifestation of power and trust!

Routine management is no longer relevant, but the procurement of supplies is of utmost importance.

This also means that she has truly integrated into the Ark and has an irreplaceable role.

She knew that Aono's decision was related to her profession as a businesswoman and her talent for strategic planning.

But this only made her more satisfied with Aono.

A qualified and excellent leader should have rational judgment, rather than practicing nepotism.

Coco placed one hand on her chest, her smile unchanged. "Mr. Aono, thank you for your trust."

After understanding the situation, Aono asked Tsunade to guide Koko in extracting chakra.

Whether it was because her level wasn't high enough, her foundation wasn't strong enough, or she lacked talent, it took Coco nearly three hours to barely get the hang of it.

After personally experiencing the chakra, Koko's trust level, which had remained unchanged at 50%, finally increased slightly.

The trust Aono placed in him, and his willingness to share his extraordinary abilities without reservation, finally made this cunning and suspicious arms queen trust him, her captain, a little more.

Now that Koko has mastered chakra, it's almost time for her to rest.

Aono parted ways with the four girls and returned to the captain's cabin alone.

Meanwhile, in the dormitory, Tsunade welcomed her first roommate.

Choosing to live with Tsunade was a decision Koko made herself.

After a day, she had figured out the situation.

Dudu and Ying have long been staunch supporters of Qingye.

Especially Kage, who has the highest level of trust in Aono, even higher than the first person to arrive, Dudu.

This is probably one of the reasons why Aono chose her as his main wife.

Tsunade, who is also a combatant and possesses considerable strength, arrived in this world only a day or two earlier than Tsunade.

Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own; wherever there is a world of its own, there are factions.

Coco knew that to achieve her goal, helpers or partners were indispensable.

And right now, the only suitable candidate is Tsunade.

She was confident that her support abilities far surpassed those of Little Chef Dudu, and that the two of them working together would definitely catch up with, or even surpass, the combination of Ying and Dudu.

But she didn't know that Tsunade was currently in a state of giving up and lying down.

Thus, the ambitious arms queen suffered a Waterloo in her very first step.

While Coco was trying to get closer to Tsunade, Dudu was discussing an important strategic cooperation with Kage.

After washing up, the purple-haired mature woman, dressed in loose pajamas, sat on the edge of the bed, carefully wiping and maintaining her naginata.

This naginata is made of ordinary materials, not the demon weapon she once used.

Even with lightning as its outer shell, it inevitably suffered damage after days of collisions with mechanical monsters.

She also considered doing what Aono did and directly buying a new alloy naginata.

But as a martial artist, she had developed an emotional attachment to this weapon.

Ultimately, the decision was made to continue using it until it was completely destroyed.

Across from Ying, the little cook mustered her courage and said, "Sister Ying, tonight... I want to sleep with Brother Qingye."

The red-haired beauty had rosy cheeks, but her eyes were very determined.

She had expected Ying to object, or at least be somewhat surprised.

To everyone's surprise, Ying simply raised her head, glanced at her with her calm and unwavering eyes, and then nodded gently.

"it is good."

Dudu was stunned. "Huh? You agreed?"

Ying lowered her head again and continued wiping the blade, her voice calm and even.

"Why not? I can't take that step myself for now, but there's no need for me to interfere with your and your husband's affairs."

Ying's calm and composed demeanor also affected Dudu.

The girl's violently beating heart gradually returned to normal.

At this moment, she had absolutely no objection to Ying's status as the empress.

Honestly, even knowing that Aono was destined to be entangled with many women, and that it was common for men to have multiple wives and concubines, she still couldn't be as at ease as Ying.

If you're saying that Shadow's feelings for Aono aren't enough, how do you explain her trust level being even higher than Aono's?

That was a deep bond built up from spending every day and night together, fighting side by side, and taking care of each other.

She was so confident that no one could take Aono away from her.

It doesn't really matter who comes first or who comes last.

She wanted things to happen naturally, so that things would fall into place.

Like winemaking, the longer it takes, the more fragrant and precious the final product becomes, leaving a lingering and intoxicating aftertaste.

"Sister Ying, I'm going now."

I understand, but she is Dudu, not another Ying.

She can't do it, and she doesn't want to.

Now, all she wants is to solidify her relationship with Aono before the new white-haired woman arrives.

……

In the early hours of the morning, just as Aono was about to go to sleep, there was a knock on the door.

He got up and opened the door. When he saw who it was, he was taken aback for a moment, then happily welcomed them in.

"Coco, it's so late, what brings you here..."

The silver-haired mature woman, wearing only black lace lingerie and a white shirt over it, gave a charming smile.

"Of course, I'm here to fulfill my duty as a lover."

"What, Mr. Aono, are you not welcome?"

"Welcome, of course you're welcome."

Aono's gaze was fixed on Koko's slender, fair legs, and he could hardly look away.

Unexpectedly, the first person he actually had a relationship with was Coco, whom he recruited last.

What's so strange about that? Are Europeans and Americans just more open-minded?

Or is it that shrewd businesswomen are better at weighing the pros and cons and making decisive bets?

Since it's been delivered right to my lips, there's no reason not to eat it.

He was getting a little tired of playing with the dolls, and now that Coco had offered herself up, it suited his taste perfectly.

Aono closed the door and led Koko to the bedside.

He casually pulled off his pajamas, revealing his muscular body.

His sharply defined muscles, combined with the menacing scars on his shoulders, exude a wild and untamed charm unique to men.

Coupled with his height of over 1.8 meters and his handsome, sunny face.

Tsunade suffered a crushing defeat, and the silver-haired mature woman who had come to launch a night raid with a gambler's mentality suddenly blushed.

Although she prefers innocent children...

To put it bluntly, he's a boy-lover.

But now it seems that a sunny and handsome guy like Aono, who exudes strength, might not be a bad choice.

Her slender, beautiful legs twitched almost imperceptibly, and a dampness began to spread between her legs.

Coco instinctively lowered her gaze.

A guy with an exaggerated size made her heart skip a beat.

She felt that in her memory, Aono's holy sword was already exaggerated enough.

It was nearly 20 centimeters long, the size of an egg, as hard as iron, and as hot as magma...
