Bai Da Plaza.
Inside a secret room in a café.
A naked woman was immersed in the blue liquid of a giant fish tank.
Above the fish tank.
There was a one-meter-long and one-meter-wide void projection!
What it displayed was none other than the scene from Ding Xinrou's perspective! Shen Chuchu and Yan Lan were sitting not far away, observing all of this.
"The despicableness of men is truly embedded in their genes!"
Yan Lan couldn't help but curse when she saw Lu Chaoqiang shamelessly hitting on Ding Xinrou.
"At such a young age, he already knows how to harass women!"
"This queen really wants to slap him to death!"
"And those men around him are also ogling her with their eyes!"
"They all deserve to die!"
...
Seeing Yan Lan's agitation, Shen Chuchu could only advise, "Calm down, Lan Jie! A little impatience can ruin great plans!"
"The reason our last operation failed was because we lacked understanding of the Happiness Residential Complex!"
"This time! We must first investigate the combat power situation of the Happiness Residential Complex and find out how many helpers Lin Lang has before we can ensure everything goes smoothly!"
Yan Lan gritted her teeth, her face full of disgust:
"These damn men! So disgusting!"
...
Happiness Residential Complex.
Building C, Unit 1, Room 2102. Several days had passed in the blink of an eye.
Yet Ouyang Yunzhi still hadn't shown up.
And there was no way to contact her! Xu Bing called Song Feng and the others, only to find out that Ouyang Yunzhi hadn't returned to the agent base either! It was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth!
Xu Bing didn't even know where to start looking.
But staying at Lin Lang's place indefinitely wasn't a solution.
Especially since.
The Martial Arts Squad was currently in a state of disarray without a leader.
As Ouyang Yunzhi's chief disciple, Xu Bing had to return to take charge.
So she bid farewell to Ning Shuangyu, Lin Lang, and the others, preparing to return to the agent base.
Ning Shuangyu had Little Tiger escort her back.
...
In the study.
The several Superpower Fruits Lin Lang had taken from the Black Dragon's treasure trove had all matured one after another—
One top-grade Psychokinesis Fruit.
One mid-grade Elemental Fruit.
One mid-grade Special Fruit.
Lin Lang picked them all.
And stored them in his space.
Now.
Lin Lang's women had already eaten two Superpower Fruits each, awakening two superpowers, so it wasn't suitable for them to eat more.
Among these fruits.
The top-grade Psychokinesis Fruit could be given to Gu Fei and Ning Shuangyu to enhance their Intuition Ability.
As for the Elemental Fruit and Special Fruit, they would have to be left for others—
Ouyang Yunzhi wouldn't have this opportunity.
On one hand, she wasn't here! On the other hand, she practiced martial arts, and martial artists generally preferred simplicity and were unlikely to consume such fruits.
At the moment, the most suitable woman.
Was Yu Anni.
...
Lin Lang took out a hundred Spirit Wood Fruits from his space.
And ate them all in one go.
The fruits turned into a massive amount of pure spiritual energy upon entering his mouth!
But his incredibly strong body absorbed it all instantly! [Spirit Wood (Level 10)]
The Spirit Wood Ability was still stuck at Level 10, unmoving.
The enhancement from Spirit Wood Fruits on the "Spirit Wood" ability was becoming increasingly negligible.
Lin Lang estimated.
To break through Level 10 and evolve into a new ability.
He would have to consume elixirs!
Therefore.
He planned to refine a batch of Spirit Wood Elixirs next time!
In the art of refining elixirs, Lin Lang already had ample experience.
Difficulty was not an issue.
However, it was time-consuming.
After all.
It required him to dedicate at least a full day!
To stay focused by the alchemy furnace, using Purple Qi to control the intensity of the flames.
Lin Lang had considered outsourcing the alchemy process.
But.
Currently, only he could precisely control the heat.
The reason lay in his Purple Aura, which could elevate the flame temperature to the necessary level! So, for now.
The task of alchemy had to be personally handled by him!
...
Exiting the study.
Lin Lang was about to head over to Xu Xingyao's place.
But he noticed.
Yu Anni had come downstairs and was sitting on the living room sofa.
Seeing Lin Lang emerge, she immediately stood up and said:
"Mr. Lin."
Lin Lang nodded: "Hmm."
Yu Anni continued:
"I wanted to discuss the rent with you."
Lin Lang replied: "Sure."
Yu Anni then asked:
"What is the usual standard for rent here?"
Lin Lang said: "Rent varies from person to person."
"The key point is, the rent you pay must be something of value!"
Seeing Yu Anni's slightly bewildered expression.
Lin Lang added:
"For example, cash or luxury items, let's not even mention those."
"In this post-apocalyptic world, these things are no different from trash."
"Don't you agree?"
Hearing this.
Yu Anni's face turned a shade paler.
She understood the logic.
But!
Currently, she had nothing on her except cash and some valuable musical instruments!
Lin Lang calmly looked at her.
Yu Anni, feeling awkward, said:
"Mr. Lin, would supplies be acceptable? I can give you supplies…"
"Oh?"
Lin Lang smiled.
"What kind of supplies can you offer?"
Yu Anni replied:
"I have some food, medicine…"
Lin Lang thought for a moment, pretending to be troubled: "These things, I'm not really in need of right now…"
Upon hearing this.
Yu Anni looked at him anxiously: "Then Mr. Lin, what do you need right now?"
Having come this far.
Lin Lang decided to drop the pretense.
He straightforwardly said: "I need women."
"Ah?"
This blunt answer surprised Yu Anni! Mr. Lin was really getting straight to the point!
But she instinctively questioned: "But, Mr. Lin, don't you already have many women? Gu Fei, Ling Yu…"
Lin Lang smiled:
"Who would say no to more women?"
Hearing this, Yu Anni's expression changed slightly:
"Mr. Lin, are you suggesting that I become one of your women?"
Lin Lang smiled without speaking, clearly implying agreement.
Seeing this.
Yu Anni frowned:
"Mr. Lin! I've made it clear long ago, that's not possible!"
She felt a hint of disappointment—
She had thought Lin Lang let her stay here because he was inherently kind!
Turns out!
He just wanted her body! Lin Lang, Lin Lang! After hiding it for so long, your true colors are finally showing! She sighed inwardly: Indeed!
There's no such thing as a free lunch!
What seems free often costs more! Then, she started planning her escape: If it comes to it!
Let Lin Lang send me back to Embroidered Cloud Residence! Although it just went through an Evil Spirit disaster, it's a bit scary…
But at least! She could return to her previous peaceful life!
Online, singing and chatting with her fans...
Until her supplies ran out.
Then she would die...
But the more she thought this way, the more uncomfortable she felt.
She even began to blame Lin Lang—
Why did he have to bring her out from there? Why not just let her die at the hands of the Evil Spirit? It might have been quicker and less painful!
Thinking this, her eyes welled up with tears, yet she spoke to Lin Lang in a firm voice: "Take me back!"
She thought the worst outcome would be just that! But who could have expected!
Lin Lang, this scoundrel!
He actually refused her: "No. If you want to go back, go by yourself."
Instantly!
Yu Anni was furious and couldn't help but say:
"You brought me here! Of course, you should take me back!"
But Lin Lang said:
"It's not my business, I won't take you!"
Yu Anni was almost driven to tears!
So shameless!
How could there be such a shameless person in the world?! And the key point was!
She had previously mistaken him for a good person! Lin Lang added:
"Whether you stay or leave is up to you, live or die, it's all your choice."
"Anyway, if I hadn't saved you, you would have been killed by the Evil Spirit."
"Just consider everything here as a dream before your death!"
...
Hearing this.
Yu Anni was stunned.
To consider everything here as a dream?
Her heart sank—
How could Lin Lang be like this? How could he be so heartless?
They had gone through so much together these past few days! But now! Lin Lang was as cold as if they were complete strangers! Then! She might as well leave! But...
Life here.
Was truly desirable! Happiness Residential Complex.
A true paradise for survivors.
Especially.
Lin Lang had been so gentle, so gentlemanly towards her! If.
This really was a dream.
She wished she could stay in this dream forever and never wake up!...
But just as she was feeling utterly lost.
Lin Lang seemed to soften and said:
"Alright!"
"I'll give you a few more days to think it over."
...
Yu Anni secretly breathed a sigh of relief!
Although she wanted to say with great pride: "No need to think! No matter how much time you give me! I will never be your woman!"
But!
The words stuck in her throat, she couldn't say them.
She had to admit—
She really liked the life in Happiness Residential Complex.
She didn't want to leave.
Even.
She shamelessly
thought, if she could linger here for one more day, it would be one more day!...
After Yu Anni left.
Leng Wei silently emerged from the bedroom and said to Lin Lang: "In the end, you still let her stay? Why did you have to say those things earlier and make her sad?"
Lin Lang smiled slightly.
It wasn't that he had suddenly changed his nature.
He just wanted Yu Anni to know.
Everything she had now was given by him, and he could take it back at any time.
