I'm building Sun City in the eternal night!

The night is deep.

Holding a flickering torch, Feng Ning'er dug open the monster's head and pulled out a strange stone.

With a sigh, he put the blood-stained strange stone into his backpack.

She was almost completely exhausted, and the torch's burning time was almost up.

That's all we can get tonight.

Excluding the torches and the absorbed Mysterious Stones, the total gain tonight is 3 Mysterious Stones.

She unconsciously shifted her gaze to the two glittering, eerie stones next to the animal trap.

A sudden surge of inexplicable jealousy welled up in her heart.

After making so many preparations and risking my life, I only managed to get 3 Mystic Stones.

Chen Hui didn't even leave the station; he could get two strange stones for free by throwing a clip.

On what grounds?

She finally began to understand why architects were considered the most prestigious professions.

No need to fight, just wait for it to succeed.

Consumed by jealousy, she even entertained the idea of ​​secretly taking away these strange stones several times.

After all, how could the other party know that the clamp would definitely kill the monster?

Perhaps the eerie creature has escaped?

Moreover, she was quite certain that if she took only one of the mysterious stones, the other party would not know.

After all, the other party couldn't possibly know that the strange creature had exploded with two strange stones.

Although the idea had crossed my mind several times.

But ultimately, she was still proud of her status, and the education she received from childhood did not allow her to do such a thing.

Therefore, he glared hatefully at the two strange stones on the ground, as if he were glaring at Chen Hui.

As the roars of monsters echoed around him again, he mustered his strength and rushed towards the station like the wind.

Soon, they left the wooden house.

Seeing Chen Hui sprawled out on the only wooden bed, she was even more furious.

This guy definitely never intended to reserve a spot for himself in the first place.

Is this something a gentleman should do?

Although she is usually unconventional, with her looks and B-level [professional] skills, she is always pursued and treated with deference by other men.

So, we're forced to sleep on the floor here?

I should have picked up all those strange stones!

He thought this bitterly in his heart.

But my eyelids started to droop involuntarily.

She leaned against the corner of the wall, unconsciously moving her body to where the light was shining.

The light streaming in from the window shone on her face, warm and comforting, and made her feel that she was recovering faster.

The negative emotions accumulated during the previous battle with the strange monster seemed to be dispelled by this light.

Bathed in the firelight, he could no longer hold on, closed his eyes, and fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up, I saw Chen Hui, who was carrying 5 [Strange Stones] with a happy expression, walking in through the door.

"Awake? Hehe, I made 4 [Mysterious Stones] last night, look."

Chen Hui held up four shiny stones and pushed them in front of Feng Ning'er, almost shoving them at her nose, with a smug look on his face.

Then, out of curiosity, he asked:

"You went out so early yesterday, how much did you earn?"

He was genuinely curious.

When I woke up this morning, the other person was still sleeping like a log, snoring softly. It's already late morning and they've only just woken up. They must have been exhausted yesterday.

There must have been a great harvest, otherwise they wouldn't be working so hard.

Feng Ning'er stared intently at Chen Hui's face, squeezing out three words through gritted teeth:

"More than you!"

Chen Hui was not surprised at all and laughed heartily.

In his view, this was only natural.

However, he was not jealous.

After all, he obtained the strange stone effortlessly without doing anything.

He was very satisfied.

Once I have these few strange stones, I can craft two more [beast traps], and tonight's harvest will increase again.

After Chen Hui's actions, Feng Ning'er lost her desire to sleep.

I stood up, the wind blew me away from the dust, and then walked straight out of the station.

She was going to look for supplies at other nearby stations.

"I'll go with you..."

"Get lost!"

Before Chen Hui could finish speaking, Feng Ning'er scolded him back.

He could only awkwardly scratch his head.

"I just wanted a ride..."

He naturally knew what the other person was doing outside.

He had looked outside before.

Unfortunately, his stamina was limited. After running around for half a morning, he was exhausted and panting, only to find an abandoned site that was even more miserable than his own.

And they almost got lost and couldn't find their way back.

He also wanted to go with Feng Ning'er to find supplies, since the food he brought wouldn't last more than a few days.

If we fail to gather the necessary supplies, we might fall into the hands of this woman.

If they ask him to exchange the strange stones for supplies, that would be worse than killing him.

"Sigh, let's rest for a while, and try our luck again this afternoon."

He yawned, then lay down on the bed and took a nap with his eyes half-closed.

Just as I was drifting off to sleep, I suddenly heard a loud "thump!" sound, like a heavy object hitting the ground.

Chen Hui was so shocked he almost jumped off the bed.

A loud, screeching cry, like that of a gander, rang out from outside:

"You greenhorns inside, pay your protection money! Get out here!"

Chen Hui, somewhat confused, rubbed his eyes, walked out of the wooden house, and said in a daze:

"Protection money? Just leave it at the door."

"Damn it, I'm not paying you protection money, I'm the one who has to pay me protection money!" The newcomer was a blond-haired youth, wielding a massive hammer half his height, which he smashed into the ground, creating a small crater.

Chen Hui then came to his senses and said with some surprise:

"Pay protection money to you? On what grounds? Which department are you from? I didn't hear about paying any protection money before I came here."

"Bang!" The blond-haired youth seemed to be losing patience and slammed the heavy hammer hard on the ground.

The ground cracked open like a spider web, and with a jolt, Chen Hui was thrown three feet off the ground.

"Kid! I don't have time to waste with you! If you know what's good for you, hand over 50 strange stones, and I'll come back to collect them next month."

"If you don't know what's good for you, I'll smash your site! I'll feed you monsters!!"

Chen Hui scrambled to his feet before finally landing, exclaiming in surprise:

"Snatch...snatch the young master?"

He was speechless for a moment:

"I don't even have five Mystic Stones on me, and you want to charge me 50?"

The strange stones we collected yesterday have already been used to make bear traps, so where would we possibly get so many strange stones?

Moreover, the strange stones were his means of surviving the rainy season, and he would never give any of them away for free.

"Damn it, you're asking for trouble!"

The blond-haired youth raised a sledgehammer with both hands and slammed it down hard on the burning [ghost fire] on the site.

"Bang!" The heavy hammer, weighing over a hundred pounds, slammed into the base of the Ghost Fire, but did not shatter as the blond youth had predicted.

Only a small dent remained on the stone base; the flame flickered briefly before returning to normal.

"Huh? Didn't I destroy the ghost fire at this site? How come it's been repaired again?"

The blond-haired young man paused for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed with great surprise:

"Looks like you're an architect too, great! The War God Society is capturing architects to build cities. We'll bring you back and offer you up for hard labor. Maybe I can get into the War God Society too!"
