Golden Shovel Survival: One Lucky Star and One Colorful Hex

Chapter 184 Solitary Domination of Shadow Island!
"Huh? Is it over already?"

After watching three waves of monsters, no more monsters appeared, and a hint of surprise appeared in Zhang Sheng's narrow eyes.

"Are you guys okay?"

At this moment, Lu Xiaodong sent a voice message to the group chat.

"It's alright, with Brother Lang's three-star pieces, the difficulty is greatly reduced!" Liu Bo said excitedly, "There are orbs all over the ground!"

"Yeah, if it weren't for Brother Lang, I feel like we would have lost at least two-thirds of our pieces today!" Chen Ergou chimed in the group chat.

"I'm fine too, but I heard from Chu Chu that our alliance leader went straight to Shadow Isles," Xiao Jing said in the group chat.

"What?! Brother Lang is heading straight for Shadow Isles?!"

Zhang Sheng was completely stunned and asked worriedly, "Brother Lang, are you in danger?"

"Is Brother Lang going to monopolize Shadow Isle?" Liu Bo had obviously read a lot of novels and knew some of the old tropes.

"No wonder I was wondering why no monsters were appearing. It turns out Brother Lang blocked all the monsters! I'm so moved. I've decided to punish myself with three cups of Maotai today!" Chen Ergou said.

"Get lost! With your alcohol tolerance of just one glass, you'd be wasting water even drinking well water, let alone drinking that kind of liquor. Old Lu, would you drink that if your pee is yellow?" Zhang Sheng glanced at Chen Ergou, a worried look returning to his face: "Will Brother Lang be alright?"

"Even if something happens, what help can we offer?"

Lu Xiaodong's expression was somewhat complicated: "Don't forget, we were able to survive thanks to Brother Lang's support. You have no idea how many players died today. You'll see when you check the number of people in the group later."

"5858? More than three thousand players died in one day!?"

When Zhang Sheng saw that the number of people had dropped from more than 8,000 to more than 5,000, his eyes showed shock.

"What do you think? If it weren't for Brother Lang taking care of us, some of us might have ended up in this situation," Lu Xiaodong said in a somewhat heavy tone.

"Then I'm even more determined to go to the Shadow Isles. Even if I can't be of much help, at least I can kill a few more monsters!"

Zhang Sheng said nonchalantly, "If we can't live with Brother Lang, then we'll die with Brother Lang. Anyway, we've already died once."

“That’s right, we’ll share life and death!” Liu Bo also stepped forward and said.

"A gentleman wouldn't help, and a saint would step forward without hesitation—that applies to strangers. If Brother Lang is in trouble, we won't help him. Let alone being gentlemen, we'd be nothing but ungrateful beasts!" Chen Ergou said passionately.

"Stop nagging, if you're going to come, hurry up and come. Chu Chu and I have already set off," Xiao Xiao said.

"Where's Old Lu?"

While asking questions in the group, Zhang Sheng took out a bottle of beer and downed it in one gulp. Then he lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and headed rapidly towards Shadow Isle with his own chess pieces and Mo Lang's pieces.

At this moment, his eyes were incredibly firm.

Brother Lang, I'm here!

"Come on, I've finished playing and just got back to base. I'm going to rest this afternoon and party tonight!"

Just as everyone was preparing to go to Shadow Isles to find Mo Lang, Mo Lang's unruly voice suddenly rang out in the group chat.

"Brother Lang, are you alright?!"

Upon hearing Mo Lang's words, everyone began to ask questions.

"It's nothing, just the Shadow Isles? Easy peasy."

Mo Lang continued, "Take a good look at your gains for today. Don't bother killing monsters this afternoon. I don't think there will be any left. If the system refreshes, you can try your luck."

"Holy crap! Brother Lang, are you some kind of monster who slaughtered the entire Shadow Isles?!" Lu Xiaodong asked in shock.

"One person wiped out the entire Shadow Isles? Brother Lang, you are the Golden Shovel Desolate Emperor!" Liu Bo couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.

"Alright, stop flattering us. Tonight, the whole district is going to have a party!"

Although Mo Lang said that, he couldn't suppress the smile on his face.

Wear it a thousand times, but flattery never wears it.

Everyone likes to listen to pleasant sounds.

"Long live Brother Lang!"

"Long live Brother Lang!"

"..." Upon hearing Mo Lang's words, everyone shouted excitedly.

"Brother Mo Lang, are you alright?"

As soon as Mo Lang turned off the voice chat, Xia Chuchu looked him up and down with concern, trying to see if he was injured.

Mo Lang felt a warmth in his heart and smiled gently, "What could possibly happen to me? Monsters can't hurt me."

"I'm just worried!"

Xia Chuchu also realized what was happening, gave Mo Lang a big hug, and then kissed him hard on the cheek.

"You haven't eaten yet?"

Mo Lang held Xia Chuchu in his arms, affectionately patted her head, and said, "I'll make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs."

"That's great! Thank you, Brother Mo Lang!"

When Xia Chuchu heard that Mo Lang was going to cook her favorite dishes himself, she immediately kissed him on the cheek, then lay on the beanbag chair next to him, hugging a pillow and watching Mo Lang's busy figure, feeling full of happiness.

Mom was right after all; true love is about mutual commitment.

She always remembered what her mother said: No one is entitled to be good to you. Boys are also the apple of their parents' eyes at home. Why should they have to suffer?
And then there's what my father said to me: "The way a boy treats you at first is how he hopes you'll treat him; and the way he treats you later is how you usually treat him."

It's not that men have changed, it's that you've never changed.

Good men and good women don't stagnate because they know how to cherish each other, instead of letting toxic motivational quotes sway their thinking.

Let us encourage each other.

"Okay, come and eat."

After working for half an hour, Mo Lang prepared three dishes and a soup.

Although it was very hot, Mo Lang still made a hot soup because drinking hot things can help girls feel less stomach pain when their period comes.

"too delicious!"

Xia Chuchu took a bite of the sweet and sour pork ribs and immediately praised them. She leaned happily on Mo Lang's shoulder, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons with laughter.

……

……

"Brother Lang!"

Mo Lang had just finished exercising and taken a shower in the afternoon, and was about to check his results for the day when he heard Zhang Sheng's gruff voice.

Immediately afterwards, Mo Lang saw a dense crowd of people appear in his base.

"Isn't it only five o'clock?" Mo Lang asked, somewhat surprised.

"With so many people, preparing food will definitely take a long time, and by the time we start eating it won't be evening, right?"

Zhang Sheng smiled, then turned to the group of players standing behind him and said, "Call me Brother Lang!"

"Hello, Brother Lang!"

The surviving players all looked at Mo Lang respectfully, their eyes filled with gratitude, their voices deafening and echoing throughout the entire base.

Because they already knew why the monster siege had ended prematurely.

It was because Mo Lang single-handedly took control of Shadow Isle and killed all the monsters on Shadow Isle!

"..."

Looking at the respectful gazes and hearing the echoing shouts, Mo Lang felt a complex mix of emotions.

But at this moment, he finally understood the feelings of those heroes.

This feeling...

Pretty good.
