CHAPTER 374: CHAPTER 302: TOGETHER?

This place, at first glance, should be a bedroom.

But this bedroom is too spacious; just this one room is larger than the entire office building of [Wenna] Guild before.

Wen Nan had slipped into a soft, pure white bed, with a transparent crystal chandelier overhead and a wide floor-to-ceiling window directly ahead.

Through the floor-to-ceiling window, Wen Nan could take in the whole resting hall with its various shops of different sizes...

Hmm? Shops?

This is indeed a resting hall.

Then this building now...

Is it really his [Wenna] Guild office?

Before he entered the instance, wasn’t this place just a bare plot of land? In just a few days, a skyscraper has risen from the ground?

Calling it a "skyscraper" might be an exaggeration, but looking out from those floor-to-ceiling windows, this building now, in this game hall, is truly described as "standing out like a crane among chickens."

Wen Nan got off the bed and walked through the guest room beside it, encountering a fully equipped home cinema. Passing through the home cinema, there was a gym full of equipment, and further through the gym, there was a... gaming room?!

Can he play games within the game in the future?

While Wen Nan was amazed by the somewhat magical scene before him, he heard a clattering sound from behind.

Following the sound to a corner, Wen Nan saw a familiar, full, and round bottom.

Wen Nan’s lips curled up, "Wearing the Face Changer again?"

Yu Shouling had been crawling under a table, tinkering with something. Hearing Wen Nan’s voice, she immediately moved her bottom out from under the table and turned around. Upon seeing Wen Nan, a bright smile appeared on her face. She reached out her arms and jumped into his embrace,

"Jiujiu, you’re finally back? How was this instance, did you encounter any surprises?"

Wen Nan lifted a hand, naturally supporting Yu Shouling’s full bottom and pinched it. The feel was as elastic as before, "Not bad, sorted it out easily."

Saying this, he glanced around the room, "Did you make this place?"

Yu Shouling nodded vigorously, "How is it? Do you like it? I asked other members here and decorated it according to what you boys like. But time was short, and I’m not familiar with the environment here, materials were hard to find, and the refining process wasn’t smooth, so I only built four floors for now. Next time you go to an instance, and come back, I should have built ten floors or more. In the future, for each instance you go to, I’ll build a bit more until it reaches a hundred floors!"

... A hundred floors?!

Won’t the game system mark it as unauthorized construction?

It probably won’t.

He remembered seeing it at the public center; as long as the land was purchased there, the guild could do whatever they wanted with it. Clearly, when the rules were set in the game hall, the administrators didn’t foresee an alchemist like Yu Shouling, who came with materials and was capable of making Lavoisier and Mendelev turn in their graves, appearing here.

Since that’s the case, Wen Nan took advantage of the loophole—buy a plot of abandoned land and have a mansion in just a few days. Such a deal, why not seize it?

Thinking about this, Wen Nan carried his little architect’s behind towards the bed nearby, "These few days without me, did you miss me?"

Yu Shouling clung to Wen Nan’s waist like a sloth, shaking her head,

Wen Nan was slightly taken aback, "Not missing me?"

Yu Shouling laughed, "I have the ’Ye Jiu’s Enchanting Night Ointment,’ I can handle it myself if I miss you, no need for you to be here."

Wen Nan inexplicably felt a pang of jealousy, even more so since it was his own illusion produced by the potion across from him.

At this thought, Wen Nan feigned anger and said coldly, "Don’t need me? Then you can produce and consume it yourself; from now on, you can forget about getting even a drop of the enchanting ointment’s materials from me."

Hearing this, Yu Shouling became anxious. Seeing Wen Nan place her on the bed and turn to leave, she became frightened and clung to his waist, pulling him back onto the bed,

"Don’t go, Jiujiu, please give me some more, the last batch of enchanting ointment is all used up..."

Wen Nan was once again taken aback, "Used it all up?"

With the last batch being so large, Wen Nan estimated if used one hour a day, it should at least last a month. But only five days had passed, and it was all gone?

Calculated, it seems she’s been soaking in the enchanting ointment for half of every day? Earlier she was saying with a straight face that she couldn’t adapt to the environment, which slowed down the construction, but now it seems she’s just indulged in Wen Nan’s illusion, slacking off, right?

Under Wen Nan’s questioning gaze, Yu Shouling felt a bit guilty, lowered her eyes, and avoided looking at him.

Wen Nan shook his head helplessly, "You’re addicted to potions; it’s a problem that needs treatment."

"Yes, yes, it is a problem," Yu Shouling nodded, not refuting it at all. Since they were on the topic, she simply sat up and reached for Wen Nan’s belt, "Please, give me some raw materials, Jiujiu, brother, just a small packet is enough."

Looking at the eager expression on the other side, Wen Nan couldn’t help but sigh inside. Some alchemists, who on the surface look like radiant architects, are already addicts indulging in illusions.

Yu Shouling naturally didn’t know what Wen Nan was thinking. She focused on unbuckling his pants, and just as she was lost in thought, a soft white thing suddenly jumped onto her arm.

Yu Shouling was startled, instinctively retracting her hand. Taking a closer look, it was an old acquaintance, no, an old friend rabbit.

"Xiao Ai?"

Yu Shouling laughed, grabbed the rabbit by the ears, and lifted it up.

The rabbit kicked its back legs in the air, "Let go!"

Yu Shouling didn’t let go and revisited the proposal made before entering the instance, "If you want, we can do it together?"

Previously, when this suggestion was made, the rabbit angrily rejected Yu Shouling. Yu Shouling didn’t expect the other side to agree, but to her surprise, this time, the rabbit shyly wiggled its nose, thought for a bit, and replied softly, "Oh..."

Hmm?

Yu Shouling was a bit surprised looking at the rabbit, "You agreed?"

What happened? It has only been a few days, and Xiao Ai’s attitude towards such matters has suddenly done a 180-degree turn?

The rabbit felt uncomfortable under Yu Shouling’s gaze. It raised its front paws wanting to scratch the hand holding its ears but couldn’t reach, so it said,

"Don’t look at me, if I join... just let me go first."

Yu Shouling didn’t release it but instead looked at Wen Nan with curiosity, seemingly wanting to ask him what happened in the instance.

Wen Nan ignored her gaze, pondering another question — have the two of you even asked for the opinions of the people involved about whether to do it together?

While thinking, there was a "thud" on the floor nearby as something fell.

The two of them and the rabbit looked down simultaneously to see a short-haired girl getting up from the floor.

"Little Silver Sword!" came a familiar electronic voice from under a distant cabinet.

Wen Nan followed the sound and saw that the cleaning robot had been taken off the wall by Yu Shouling and was now fixed under the cabinet. It was unclear if it was acting as a router or a voice controller.

Upon seeing Mo Yu appear, the robot revealed starry eyes like it always did when seeing newcomers.

Mo Yu ignored the cleaning robot, her gaze fixed directly on Wen Nan, "Master... boss."

Wen Nan was somewhat confused, "How did you follow me?"

Although in the instance, Wen Nan had used a role strategy card to win over Mo Yu, the tool card clearly stated it was a temporary control, losing effect once leaving the instance.

Thus, Wen Nan assumed that once he left the map, he and Mo Yu would have no connection, but unexpectedly, this Little Silver Sword followed him to his guild office?

Mo Yu, with her head lowered, awkwardly twisted her clothing, "I... I am your sword now."

Wen Nan quickly understood — Mo Yu was represented as Wei Zhe’s equipment in that school instance. Since Wei Zhe’s account was deleted by Wen Nan, Mo Yu no longer had an inventory to reside in. However, whether as a player’s equipment or a high-star-level character, Mo Yu could leave the instance independently, so she actively sought out Wen Nan. Because Wen Nan had once conquered her, he is probably taken as her new master in her mind.

Seeing Wen Nan not responding, Mo Yu, worried, cautiously asked, "Can I stay in your inventory? I just need a spare slot..."

Before Wen Nan could speak, the cleaning robot chimed in, "Little Silver Sword! If Father doesn’t want you, I can take you in. I also have an equipment backup slot; it’s very spacious!"

Saying so, the robot indeed extended a small slot from its side.

But just as the slot was halfway out, with a "thap," a pillow was thrown at it.

"That’s enough from you," Wen Nan pointed at the robot, silencing it. Then he looked at Mo Yu and nodded, "You can stay."

Mo Yu immediately smiled in relief, "Thank you, boss!"

Yu Shouling got off the bed, took Mo Yu’s hand, and started examining what materials she was made of. After a while, she remembered the main issue and asked Mo Yu, "Wanna join?"

Mo Yu was a bit puzzled, "Join... what?"

Saying this, she looked at Wen Nan for help.

Wen Nan cleared his throat, pulling Mo Yu back from Yu Shouling’s grasp, with a hint of warning, glared at Yu Shouling, "Stop asking."

If she keeps instigating his women to do such things, his office will be turned into a hub by the Yu family’s "pimp."

Yu Shouling awkwardly withdrew her hand and stopped asking but continued to stare at Mo Yu’s skin inquisitively.

Mo Yu didn’t notice her gaze and carried on looking around the room before asking, "Boss, where’s Minmin?"

Wen Nan was taken aback by the question.

Yu Shujun... Where has she wandered off to again?
