Survival in the neighborhood: Give me a piece of bread every day

……

"Four hours or more, that's way too long! Being at such a high level can be a problem too."

Huo Ling'er asked in surprise.

The last upgrade only took three hours.

As a result, it now takes more than four hours.

That's quite a leap.

"It will take a while, but you can rest first and watch it again tomorrow."

Chen An said calmly.

Their building is safe; there are patrols outside.

He also has the status of a building manager, which allows him to receive alerts at any time when monsters enter the building.

Besides, even a level 14 door is not something any monster can easily break through.

So there's absolutely no need to worry.

Even if the upgrade takes an entire night, there's no need to worry.

"Then we'll just have to rest for now."

The egret stretched and deliberately puffed out its chest towards Chen An.

Then, she rubbed against Chen An's arm and said, "Honey, how about I take care of you and let you rest later? Let your older sister rest too."

The next second, Jiang Lai retorted, "You sly fox, when did I say I was resting! I'm not giving you my darling tonight!"

After saying that, she hugged Chen An's other arm and said coquettishly, "Darling, I'm not tired at all, I can continue to serve you! And I can serve you exclusively for the next two days~"

She was too busy before, and she focused too much of her attention on transactions and shopping.

They couldn't bother Chen An for long.

This gave other residents the opportunity to serve Chen An.

But now, she can!

"Big sister, we can serve together!"

The egret said casually.

She only wanted to be with Chen An; she didn't care about anyone else.

Jiang Lai glanced at Bai Lu, snorted coldly, and ignored her suggestion.

Instead, she pulled Chen An into the house.

"Honey, come on, let's go inside and continue."

Early the next morning.

Just as Chen An sat up, Jiang Lai next to him let out a groan.

She sat up sideways, supporting herself with one hand and rubbing her eyes with the other.

"My dear, are you getting up? Then let me get up and serve you."

Jiang Lai's voice was languid and hoarse, as if she had just woken up.

His eyes were still drowsy, and he didn't seem fully awake.

"You should get some rest."

"It's alright, darling, serving you is what I'm supposed to do."

Not only that, she enjoyed it immensely.

She wouldn't even glance at anyone else.

All she ever says is, "Do your own thing."

"Um."

Chen An didn't say anything more.

Since she was willing to do it, he didn't stop her.

After they got dressed, they opened the door and went out.

However, there was a person standing outside the door at that moment.

Wang Ziyan.

Wang Ziyan watched the two of them come out together, her lips pressed tightly together.

They could all have sexual relations with Chen An.

Why can't she...?

Upon seeing Wang Ziyan, Jiang Lai said, "With me here today, you don't need to serve my darling."

Her tone left no room for argument.

Wang Ziyan knew immediately that it was a notification, not a discussion.

She knew perfectly well that she couldn't compete with Jiang Lai.

If Jiang Lai hadn't been keeping an eye on the trading platform for the past few days...

Egrets are always the last to wake up.

She probably won't have a chance to serve Chen An as she did the other day.

"Oh, okay then."

Wang Ziyan lowered her head and agreed, no longer making any pointless attempts to persuade him.

A short while later, Chen An and Jiang Lai arrived at the outer room.

Jiang Lai held Chen An's arm with one hand and pointed to the door with the other.

"Honey, would you like to check on the door upgrade?"

"Hmm, this is a good opportunity to see what surprises await us after adding the automatic healing effect to the blueprints."

As Chen An spoke, he stepped forward to check the information on the current door.

A door that is both offensive and defensive, and can self-heal.

[Level: 15]

[Durability: 240/240 (624)]

[Effect: Reflects 70% of the damage from the target's attack back. Each crossbow bolt will deal 210 physical damage to the target, and defense is increased, always 2.6 times higher than the same level. Doors automatically recover 10 durability points per hour after being damaged.]

[Can be disassembled: 10 Refined Iron, 16 Red Runestones, 8 Yellow Runestones]

Upgrade Requirements: 2400 Gold, 35 Refined Iron, 40 Red Runestones, 20 Yellow Runestones, 3 Green Runestones

[Introduction: Hehehe, Master, I lack nothing!]

Chen An chuckled as he looked at the introduction.

The door is quite easy to please; every time there's a new effect, I'm very satisfied.

Jiang Lai looked at the green runes in the door upgrade requirements, rubbing her chin as she said, "The door now has three effects, which means it needs even more runes. It seems I'll have to work harder on trading in the future."

Although she was supposed to rest for two days, she couldn't abandon the things she needed to do.

"But with the automatic healing effect, it's even stronger! Maybe it can be upgraded to heal in seconds in the future!"

Huo Ling'er guessed with a surprised look.

In response, Xia Yue chimed in, "That way, the monster destroyed the door, and then it regenerated itself the very next minute!"

"It feels perfectly safe no matter how you look at it!"

Avril said with a smile, while the two little pets in her arms responded enthusiastically—

The slime wobbled and bounced, while the flower fairy nodded her cute little head.

"Honey, my talent has been refreshed!"

Just then, Jiang Lai spoke up.

Chen An sat down next to her and glanced at the talent refresh status.

[Compound Interest (lv2): From now on, if you have more than 10 gold coins, you will receive an additional 4 gold coins in interest, increasing thereafter. The more principal you have, the more interest you will receive. If you have less than 10 gold coins, you will receive a guaranteed 5 gold coins per day.]

[Today's interest has been updated: You currently have 412868 gold coins, and you will receive an additional 165144 gold coins in interest, which has been automatically added to your inventory.]

Jiang Lai added in his ear, "We now have a total of 578012 gold coins!"

"My God, 57 gold coins!"

Chu Lexiao exclaimed in surprise.

It was 400,000 yesterday.

As a result, the interest arrived in my account after a day, and my gold coins increased by more than 160,000.

"That's incredible! Jiang Lai's current talent is already earning her tens of thousands in interest every day. I wonder how terrifying the interest will be when she reaches level three."

Liu Jiaxin remarked with emotion.

The rate at which gold coins are growing is frightening no matter how you look at it.

"In two more days, my husband will become a millionaire."

Bai Lu also sat beside Chen An, admiring the man.

Wow, my husband is so rich!

Her tone was somewhat exaggerated, but the emotional value she conveyed was very effective.

Chen An was amused by her appearance.

He reached out and gently stroked the tip of her nose: "You're so good with words."

"So many gold coins!"

At this moment, Alice exclaimed in surprise.

At the same time, it dawned on me.

No wonder they spent so many gold coins upgrading doors, windows, and decorations without feeling the pinch.

So that's how much savings they had.

"Hmm, my husband is just that rich!"

The egret smiled and said.

Then, Bailu coquettishly said to Chen An, "My wealthy husband, has your talent been refreshed yet~"

Chen An glanced at it.

"Yes, it's refreshed."

P.S.: Sigh, brothers and sisters, this is a bit tricky. I only found out today that my book has been soft-blocked. It can't be recommended on the book famine relief page, the author's status isn't updated anywhere, and the bookstore isn't giving it any credits, which is why the readership keeps dropping. The reason is ridiculous—it's not a content issue, not any other problem, but because so many people have reported it, so they soft-blocked it and stopped giving it credits. And they didn't even say what the problem was, they won't let me appeal or make changes, they're just forcefully suppressing it... At this rate, it seems like they're forcing me to end it! It's not that I don't want to write, it's that writing would even cost me my food money... There's no solution yet. If any of you readers have any suggestions, please leave a message. I'm prepared to call the mayor's hotline to complain.
