In the Little HutWu Chi lit the kerosene lamp. Its dim, yellowish glow pushed back the shadows of the small hut. He pulled out two portions of food and plonked them on the table.“Steamed buns, beef jerky, some pickles.”“Sorry.. it’s not exactly a five-star dining. So please don’t hate me,” he said with a grin, gesturing for Daiyu to sit.Lin Daiyu shook her head gracefully, perching sideways on the chair like a proper lady. She picked up a bun and took a tiny, delicate bite. Thanks to the inventory system, the food stayed perfectly fresh — the bun was still soft, not rock-hard.Her delicate brows furrowed slightly, as if she wasn’t quite used to the fare, but she didn’t complain. She just ate quietly.The two of them demolished their dinner like a pair of hungry wolves. Wu Chi produced two cups of water, handing one to her.“Once I get around to building a proper restaurant or something, we’ll eat like kings. Heck, we can even make food that gives you buffs!”“Mmm, this humble one looks forward to it,” Lin Daiyu replied with a sweet smile, her voice so soft it could give a man diabetes.Wu Chi’s heart did a little flip-flop. He coughed awkwardly and pulled out a specially made timer.The endless void was a strange place — you couldn’t always count on a sun or a normal day-night cycle. It all depended on where a Lord ended up. Some poor bastard once landed in a place with nine suns and got roasted like a pig within minutes. Others, like Wu Chi, found themselves in eerie lands without any visible sky, making timekeeping a nightmare.This mechanical timer wasn’t magical, but it got the job done.“11 PM already,” he announced.“So... wanna call it a night?”Wu Chi swallowed nervously.“Does the young master require this humble one to warm his bed?” Lin Daiyu’s beautiful eyes sparkled with amusement.She could totally read his mind, and instead of being offended, she decided to tease him a little.Wu Chi’s face turned bright red. “How about... you take the bed? I’ll crash on the floor.”“Absolutely not.” Lin Daiyu shook her head firmly, her gaze as soft as water. “Unless... the young master finds this humble one displeasing?”“Wha—? No way! Of course not!” he stammered. “I’m your Lord, for crying out loud!”After a moment of awkward hesitation, he finally lay down on the hard wooden bed. Even though the 【Small Hut】 was a bit rundown, it was still a proper territory building, so it wasn’t cold inside.He closed his eyes. Soon after, he felt a warm, fragrant body lie down beside him. Whether it was pure exhaustion or the comfort of having a super-powered beauty nearby, Wu Chi fell asleep almost instantly.The Next MorningThe kerosene lamp had long since burned out.Wu Chi woke up slowly in the dim hut, blinking away his confusion. As reality set in, he took a deep breath.A delightful fragrance filled his nose — like ginseng and goji berries — sending a warm, restless energy through his body.He turned his head.Lin Daiyu was still sleeping soundly beside him. She must have taken her hairpin out before bed; her long, dark hair was slightly messy, cascading down and half-covering her ear. Her stunning face looked peaceful and serene. With each breath, her slender but graceful body rose and fell gently. Under her thin sleeping robes, her jade-like skin was so pale it almost seemed to glow.“Did I really just pass out the second I hit the pillow last night?”Looking at the sleeping beauty beside him, Wu Chi couldn’t help but smack his own forehead.“Damn it, you useless coward!”He carefully got out of bed. Gazing at her exquisite, makeup-free face, he couldn’t resist leaning down and stealing a quick kiss.Then, heart pounding like a drum, he grabbed the timer and practically fled the hut like a thief — not even stopping to process what he’d just done.Click!The door closed softly.In the darkness of the hut, Lin Daiyu opened her eyes, a faint shyness within them. A blush crept up her fair neck, like the colour of peach blossoms — incredibly captivating.9:20 A.M.“I really slept in that late, huh?”Wu Chi put the timer away, then pulled out a toothbrush and toothpaste, starting his morning routine by the fence.Just as he was brushing away enthusiastically, footsteps echoed from the darkness.Wu Chi looked up sharply. From within the misty gloom, shadowy figures were marching toward them — fast!“The monster invasion is this early today?”His eyes narrowed. He rinsed his mouth hastily, stuffed his things away, and got ready.By now, the figures in the grey mist were becoming clear. A whole crowd of them — more than twenty — all humanoid monsters wearing horned helmets and silver armour. They held long spears, their eyes ➤ NоvеⅠight ➤ (Read more on our source) glowing red.They did not look friendly.“Perfect timing to test out yesterday’s new toy!”“And with Void Crystals on hand, summoning troops is a breeze.”Wu pondered for a moment, then glanced at his two defensive towers. The 【Fireblast Tower】 and the 【Fart Tower】 both had decent range, but closer targets were easier to hit.So, he waited.He let the armoured dudes get within a hundred meters.“Control first, then we blast the hell out of them!” Wu Chi analyzed coolly, activating the 【Fart Tower】’s attack!And then.. in the next moment...
