I'm on the Ark, and I started as a succubus.

'Princess Theresa and I are on the same side...'

W had a premonition that her Princess Theresa was not actually dead, and that she would soon be able to enjoy a happy and wonderful life with her again.

Frostnova wandered around the construction site for a while, then took out W and handed it to the manual. After glancing at it a few times, she started working according to the contents.

'What the hell did that bastard write?'

Froststar muttered to herself, vaguely sensing that something was off about the manual in her hand.

'Master the small technical details; the pressure shouldn't be too light or too heavy...'

'Every now and then, press down on the template with your hand to check if the two template pieces are standing upright...'

'After checking that the gap between the two formwork panels is sufficiently moist, you can forcefully press the large concrete vibrator in and use it to vibrate the concrete.'

Froststar reached out and touched the template that had been set up, her delicate eyebrows furrowing slightly in confusion.

She didn't know why, but she inexplicably felt that there was something wrong with the construction process in the manual.

077 Large-scale projects and engineering works worth billions

Froststar frowned and, with the help of the light shining from afar, examined the construction process manual in her hand.

She felt something was off, but couldn't quite put her finger on it.

She had no formal training in engineering. As an infected person who had been forced to survive in the Ursus Icefield mines at a young age, she hadn't even attended school for more than a few days and hadn't completed even the most basic education.

She only mastered the Ursus script thanks to the patient shield guards in the Infected Shield, but that was basically all she could do.

She learned more about how to survive on the tundra. Farming, raising pack animals, finding warm places, fighting enemies, leading troops, covering the retreat of other infected, teaching other infected how to use bows and crossbows and Originium Arts more efficiently to strangle the enemy... these were the things she was good at and proficient in.

She's not good at other things, nor is she particularly skilled at them. Even in things like knitting and mending clothes, she's only at the same level as Talulah, a level that Alina would always criticize for wasting wool.

Frostnova had always thought it was great, since her father wasn't very good at anything else. He was more stubborn and inflexible, and his expertise was mainly in warfare. As he got older, he wasn't very willing to accept new things, so it took a lot of effort to persuade him to lead the team to support Talulah.

She took out a piece of candy and put it in her mouth. Froststar felt the sweetness spreading in her mouth and felt her dizzy head feel a little better.

The candy is sweet and delicious.

Ever since her Oripathy subsided to the point where she could barely feel any of the accompanying side effects, she stopped eating the spicy candy she made. No normal person would like that burning taste. She used to like it because that was the only taste she could perceive.

After she could taste the sweetness, she simply didn't want to eat the candy anymore, and mostly used it as a prank toy.

Froststar paused, chewing her sweet tooth, and her expression suddenly froze—

She was shocked to realize that she had really become a glutton.

This is a sign of indulging in pleasure!

Froststar secretly made up her mind that she could no longer continue like this, that she could no longer soak in that huge bathtub in hot water all day long, and that she could no longer keep eating.

She thought that to herself, but her body betrayed her. Her little hand reached into her coat pocket again and pulled out candy from the pocket full of snacks.

With practiced ease, I unwrapped the candy, put it in my mouth, chewed it with practiced ease, and savored the rich sweetness with practiced ease, enjoying the sweetness and delight that the candy brought me.

Froststar lowered her gaze, looking at her body, which had become incredibly honest in its scrutiny. After a brief silence, she once again reached into her pocket.

Yes, a whole bag full of snacks, both the left and right pockets were full, and she even vaguely remembered that there might be a little bit in the other pockets as well.

"It's just a habit."

Froststar said softly to herself, "It really is just a habit. Everyone on Dongyuan carries some food with them in case of emergency."

Now that I'm carrying it with me, I have to finish it. After all, wasting food is never a good thing!

Froststar's long rabbit ears twitched, and she focused her attention, resuming her study of the construction details manual in her hands.

According to that Sarkaz mercenary, this is a multi-billion dollar canyon project, a huge undertaking that requires a lot of attention to detail and technology.

"After the concrete vibrator has been stationary in the concrete for a while, move it left and right to feel the internal details... then vibrate it up and down forcefully."

'High mountains and flowing water, clear streams in empty mountains, fireflies swiping facial cleanser... concrete vibrating rod, until small, viscous air bubbles form?'

Froststar looked at the concrete vibrator she was holding, which was almost bigger than her forearm, and then at the narrow gap between the formwork beneath her feet. She began to question the accuracy of the manual.

After hesitating for a moment, she still chose to brutally and violently thrust the concrete vibrator, which was larger than her arm, into the much smaller gap in the formwork.

If you can't break through, then try your best and create a miracle.

Then, naturally, it broke down.

……

……

regret.

I really regret it.

Six days and six nights later, Bai Chen stayed alone in a quiet room to reflect. He did not continue to discuss the multi-billion dollar project with An Suo and Shi Huai Ya, nor did he continue the hard work of construction.

There are always moments in life when people are as calm and rational as a sage.

After the wildness and chaos, Bai Chen began to reflect.

He felt that his symptoms of alopecia were getting deeper and more severe.

Initially, he really just wanted to tease An Suo and get some points from him; and to bully Swire and get some system points from this cute but fierce little tiger.

System points are a good thing. Although he already has a lot and has been saving them up to avoid upgrading the [Succubus]'s main ability, it is still necessary to have a little more in case of emergencies.

Just like money, nobody thinks they have too much money.

However, as if possessed, he ended up eating both the Dark Lock and Swire.

Sadistic, cruel... devoured them without any gentleness, filling them with joy, happiness, and delight as they joined the family of the Tears of Sorrow.

"It's all the system's fault. If this broken system weren't so shady, I would probably be a good person."

After reflecting for a while, Bai Chen unhesitatingly pinned the blame on the system.

The system, which always loves to chatter on and on, muttering about beautiful girls every day, is unusually quiet right now.

It was as quiet as if he had prayed to the gods 66666 times at the construction site, and in the end, only he himself responded.

趁机

"Ah, right, right, it's all the system's fault. I forced you to go to the beautiful girl with the pearl, instead of having a sweet romance with her."

Bai Chen frowned and said to the broken system:

"Commander, when you said that, did you ever consider that any of the abilities you gave were legitimate?"

"Ah, right, right, right, it's not beautiful or pleasant at all, it's all for the sake of gaining points for this broken system of mine."

"Is not it?"

"Ah, yes, yes, yes, it's not comfortable at all. It's all for the system points, all for the system points, to use the system points to upgrade and become stronger."

Bai Chen looked at the beautiful girl image virtualized by the system next to him, and at the way this broken system was shaking its head and spreading its hands, which it had somehow learned from somewhere. He raised his hand and gave her a hard thud on the head.

"Are you going through your rebellious phase?!"

"Waaaaah... It's all the system's fault! It's all the system's fault for forcing our dear succubus queen to defile beautiful girls, making them work like old oxen being whipped and toiling away in the fields every day."

Bai Chen nodded in satisfaction.

That's right!

078 Swire: Waaah... I will never forgive you.

After shifting the blame to the system, Bai Chen felt refreshed and decisively left the luxurious carriage, heading towards the center of Longmen City.

The usually talkative System was unusually quiet for once, no longer nagging him about "Ah~ beautiful girl, beautiful girl, beautiful girl is the best in the world," and naturally wanted to seize the time to do something serious.

He had many media outlets in Longmen that he wanted to acquire, and after the acquisitions, he needed to relocate the personnel there. At the crucial moment, they would jump out and stab Wei Yanwu in the back, leaving no time to waste.

Given the nature of this broken system, she'll only be quiet for a few days at most, maybe six days, before she starts howling and screaming again.

There are so many beautiful girls in Lungmen.

Even though he assigned Lappland to deal with the Penguin Logistics girls, Lungmen is still a slump full of beautiful girls. Chen, Jiu, Hoshiguma... or maybe even more. Who knows how many beautiful girls there are in this slump?

Moreover, the Rhodes Island landship, full of beautiful girls, might arrive in Lungmen someday, and when that happens, he'll definitely be bothered by the broken system and have no peace.

Bai Chen clenched his fist and tapped his forehead, his devilishly long and thin tail swaying restlessly.

With just a little thought, one would realize that he has too many things to do, so many complicated tasks that it's tedious to even attempt them.

He even somewhat agreed with the system's opinion: why bother with so many things? Just stay in a warm house, or on a sunny beach with beautiful girls, and live a carefree, happy life.

'The situation in Chernobog also needs to be addressed.'

Bai Chen sighed softly, closed his eyes, and suppressed the thoughts that kept surging in his heart.

Putting aside the distant issues, there's also the matter of Swire, which needs to be dealt with. This young lady from the Swire family, a senior superintendent in Lungmen, can't just disappear like that. Once it arouses Wei Yanwu's suspicion, it will become extremely difficult to continue carrying out activities in Lungmen.

Perhaps I should go to this young lady's house tonight and have a heart-to-heart talk with her.

Bai Chen pondered for a moment, then silently twisted open the bottle cap and took a sip of warm tea to calm his mind.

For some far more sinister purpose, he kept his promise to Darklock, and after giving Swire a little lesson, he sent her home.

That's how it should be, right?

As the worst of the worst, and a once steadfast fighter against the Pearl, Bai Chen knows the Pearl Fall very well.

Simply appreciating the power of Tearful Elegy is meaningless. When you truly feel that you can never go back, you need to switch your deck back to the old system. Only when you go back to the old system will you realize how ridiculous your past persistence and ideas were, and how exhilarating it is to use Tearful Elegy to unleash your full potential in turn 0.

That was when the pearl truly fell, and there was no going back.

……

……

"Waaaaah~ I absolutely, absolutely will not forgive that bastard!"

Swire walked into the bathroom and solemnly declared to himself in the mirror.

However, her voice was weak and feeble, lacking any of her usual vigor.

With a soft thud, the clothes fell to the ground. Shi Huaiya hugged herself, looked up at her reflection in the mirror, and emphasized once more:

"I will never forgive you, I will never forgive you..."

Her voice carried a faint hint of a sob, making her tone even softer and weaker. Combined with her soft, quick utterance of the fragrance of orchids, it sounded both coquettish and reproachful.

Shi Huaiya's clear, emerald-green eyes were gradually veiled by a misty haze, giving her a delicate, tearful appearance.
