The Cloud-Raised Brave Man's Travels

The little complaint once again activated the beast in Keya's heart. It seems that this little mouth is still not obedient! It needs to be tamed!

Chapter 77: Zombie Evolution

Wow~~~

That's the sound of the water tank filling up. Incidentally, to ensure sufficient water, Hayasaka Ai and Chika Fujiwara, a budding carpenter, built two wooden water tanks. Together with the existing tank, they won't have to fetch water for at least a month. So... why is the great detective also a carpenter? Chika claims she can even fly a small plane now. Absurd.

"Thank you for your hard work, Koya."

When Koya and Mashiro came back, Hinagiku and Mafuyu were still outside searching for supplies. Because there was a chat group for real-time chat, there was no need to worry about their comfort.

"Is there anything else Qianhua can help me with?"

"No more, Koya, go and have a good rest."

Chika pushed Koya back to the hall, where Shinomiya Kaguya and Hayasaka Aima were studying the radio, adjusting different channels in the hope of getting some news from the outside world. Shijo Maki, Iino Miko, Fujiwara Toyomi and Fujiwara Moeha were exercising under the supervision of Hayata Nao. They had been told about the Sun Breathing, and except for Hayata Nao, the other four had not reached the standard for practicing the Sun Breathing. In order to get in touch with extraordinary powers as soon as possible, they were training hard.

As for Mashiro, after returning with Koya, she ran to her room and hid—

"Koya, do you think Mashiro's favorability system is up to standard?"

"Maybe."

The two of them walked into the room that had been prepared for Koya from the beginning. This room had only just begun to be used. Qianhua pounced directly onto the bed after entering the room. The bed was so soft that she even bounced up a bit.

"Koya, we've decided who to give those skills that have been opened."

"Tell me."

"Resurrection and Purification will be used by Madoka herself. She and Hinagiku are our main force when we go out exploring. Madoka, with her ice control ability, can also ensure her own safety when we go out exploring. Resurrection and Purification are most suitable for Madoka."

"Yeah, that makes sense."

This is a very reasonable judgment. Chika and the others are not in a hurry to give their skills to people who have no strength. The two skills of resurrection and purification should indeed be given to the most dangerous people who can ensure their own safety. Manfuyu is very suitable. She is currently the strongest among these girls, and as Koya becomes stronger in the future, she will become stronger. As long as Manfuyu is fine, she can resurrect and purify other girls.

"We plan to give the summoning skill to someone who will stay in the shelter for a long time. Ensuring the safety of the shelter is also very important. We are currently planning to give it to Sister Fengshi. She doesn't have a system and her strength is not as good as ours, so we don't need her to conduct external explorations. She is also my sister, so there is no possibility of her betraying us. However, we plan to give it to her later."

"You can judge for yourselves."

"What about that farming talent you acquired? You don't know how to farm, right?"

"We have enough food at the moment, so let's keep this farming talent for now. We can give it to her when we find a suitable survivor. This time, besides collecting supplies, the most important thing for Hinagiku and Mafuyu is to search for survivors. Nao-nee plans to build a survivor base on the flat land at the foot of the mountain. That's where the rescued people will be housed. This shelter will only be for girls."

"...Nao-san is so thoughtful."

I have to say that Hayata Nao really understands men. Although Koya didn't say anything after hearing this arrangement, he was indeed very satisfied in his heart——

Five minutes later, Chika stared speechlessly at the familiar ceiling. Koya had used her as a human pillow. Why hadn't she just run away? Now she was caught. Speaking of which, had Koya been letting himself go more and more lately? How could she be so bold? Kaguya and the others were still downstairs. What would her sister and Moe think of her staying in Koya's room for so long?

But... Koya smells really good. According to the feedback given by the great detective, it seems to be the scent of honeysuckle. It's really strange. The novels Qianhua read all said that girls have the scent of roses, osmanthus, cherry blossoms and the like. When she read it at the beginning, Qianhua complained that it must be the scent of shampoo, shower gel or cosmetics. How could a normal person have a floral scent? It's more like body odor or sweat odor.

But now she could definitely smell it. Being held in Keya's arms, she felt warm. We won't say anything about that old-fashioned thing. In fact, it was quite hot to be held like this in this early summer weather. But she hadn't smelled this floral scent when she slept with Keya after sex, so why did she smell it today?

Qianhua arched her back in Koya's arms, trying to understand why this man had such a pleasant fragrance. The strongest scent seemed to be on his back and chest, and it seemed to get stronger as time went on. Qianhua's eyelids began to droop as she smelled this reassuring scent, and she slowly fell asleep. In the last second before falling asleep, an idea flashed in her mind.

"Could this be the smell of Koya's sweat?"

Daisy [Everyone, we found a survivor! ]

Shinomiya Kaguya [Great, how many people are there? ]

Kirisu Mafuyu [5 people, all girls; found in a convenience store.]

Doctor: "As expected, Daisy, you guys should be prepared. There may not be many male survivors left in your world."

Daisy [Huh?]

Doctor: "Since the first wave of the zombie outbreak primarily infected men, considering the current situation, I suspect the zombies will prioritize attacking men. Koya's ability to distract so many zombies at Fujiwara's residence may have been due to his male status. Zombies won't attack women in the shelter as long as they remain silent, but they will actively seek out and attack male survivors."

Jizi: [How come this zombie virus is just like Honkai and discriminates against men?!]

Doctor: [It's different... I don't know the situation in Honkai, but this zombie virus favors men because they are stronger and more suitable for evolution.]

Fujimaru Tachibana: [Evolution? I get it! Just like in some works, the outbreak of the zombie virus actually pushed humanity to complete its evolution. No need to eat or breathe, their strength and speed are exaggerated because they have broken through the limitations of their brains. Aside from their intelligence, zombies can indeed be considered a form of evolution.]

Doctor: [That's pretty much it. That crystal core is both the zombies' energy source and the catalyst for their evolution... So, Daisy, you guys better act fast. The zombies in your world really do evolve. Ever played Left 4 Dead? I have a feeling the zombies in your world are very likely to evolve in that direction.]

Fujimaru Tachibana: [Hey, hey, hey. How do you know about the way to survive, Doctor?]

Doctor [I just know it, and in my world, Left 8 Dead is already at level , and Grand Theft Auto is already at level . Aren't you jealous? I've played them both!]

Chapter 78: The Unyielding Miss Zaoban

The girls in the villa received a call from Daisy and immediately put down what they were doing to start thinking about how to build a base for the survivors at the foot of the mountain. Daisy said they would probably be back tomorrow afternoon, which meant that there was less than 24 hours left. As for why they didn't bring the five survivors to the villa.

Firstly, since they didn't know any of the five girls, bringing them back to base would be risky. While they were very strong, it was wise to proceed with caution. Secondly, the villa only had so many rooms. If they brought all the survivors, how many would be able to stay? Furthermore, if they encountered other survivors during their search, the villa would be completely empty. Thirdly, and most importantly, what if these girls moved into the villa and competed for their husbands? After all, Kaguya and Ai's favorability wasn't even at the first level yet.

In fact, Daisy's consideration was reasonable. Unlike Koya who crossed the entire city without encountering a single survivor, Daisy simply searched along the convenience store where she found the survivors and met several more survivors. Some of them felt that their current location was safe and they had enough supplies and were unwilling to leave with Daisy, but some decided to hold on to Daisy's Breath of the Sun after seeing it wreaking havoc on everyone. In the end, there were thirteen survivors gathered in this small convenience store.

These survivors were all female... Daisy now completely believed the doctor's theory; perhaps there were truly no male survivors in their world. This was bad news, but not entirely bad. In this day and age, mating wasn't necessary for childbirth. There were still plenty of seeds of life in the cold storage, so there was no need to worry about the extinction of the species. As for technical work, coincidentally, Chika's detective skills also happened to include this area.

On the other side, Koya and Chika were also pulled out of bed by Hayasaka Ai. She looked at Koya with even colder eyes, while her original owner, Kaguya Shinomiya, looked at Chika Fujiwara with a cold face. When these two people stood together, the temperature of the room seemed to drop a lot.

"Eh hey hey? What's wrong Kaguya-chan?"

"Let's go build a house at the foot of the mountain. Daisy and the others have found survivors, but the villa is too full for them, so we have to start our plan to build a settlement early."

"Okay, I get it now."

Fujiwara Chika reluctantly sat up from the bed. What a pity, she clearly wanted to sleep a little longer.

"If you want to build a shelter, Mashiro should be able to help you. She just received a reward from the favorability system."

"Ok?"

Even now, when she recalls that creamy kiss, she can still feel the sweetness. Mashiro's favorability towards her naturally soared. She, like Kirisu Mafuyu, received the second-stage reward.

"The first reward Mashiro received was a continuous increase in her mental power. The second reward was a skill called the Divine Pen. Now Mashiro can use her mental power to materialize things she drew. We tried it before we came back, but it didn't work with living things, and the food she materialized had no taste. But if she could materialize things like stone and wood, it was perfect."

"So strong? Then can you materialize a Gundam?! If Gundams don't work, what about robots? What about guns and stuff?"

"I don't know what you're talking about, Chika. Go ask Mashiro yourself."

As soon as the words fell, the three girls rushed out of Koya's room. If Mashiro's innate skills were really as Koya said, then her ability would be extremely useful. The turrets and robots were just toys. If the objects in the illusion could also be materialized, then Gundams, spaceships, star destroyers! Wow, just thinking about it is so exciting!

"Haha, why did they all run away?"

"Everyone went to see Mashiro's special ability."

"Superpowers, that's great. Everyone has gained powerful abilities. Koya, how do you think they awakened?"

"Huh? I, I don't know."

Hayasaka Nao's knee had already reached between Koya's legs. Koya, who had just been pulled to sit on the bed by Hayasaka Ai, was pushed back onto the bed by her mother. Looking at Hayasaka Nao, who was clearly harboring ill intentions, Koya didn't know what to do. Should she just go along with it? Or should she resist before submitting?

"Um... Xiao Ai and the others are in the next room."

"The villa is well soundproofed, they can't hear it."

"They might break in!"

"I've locked the door. You can't get in even if you have the key~~"

"So... why?"

"I was the first person to have sex with Koya, so why did they all awaken?"

"Ah, this." How should Koya answer this? He certainly couldn't tell anyone about the system, but if he said it had nothing to do with him, Hayata Nao would definitely not believe it. It seemed that he could only make up an excuse.

"Is it possible that they are pure girls whose yin essence has not yet been broken?"

"You say such nonsense, do you believe it yourself? What's more, you are my first man."

"Huh?! Don't frame me, isn't Xiao Ai your daughter?! You two look so alike!"

"She is my sister's daughter. Like me, she was a maid in the Shinomiya family. But my sister was unlucky. After finally getting married, she and her husband both got terminally ill. So Xiao Ai was adopted by me."

"Ah this."

Hayata Nao didn't want to waste any more time. In her opinion, she hadn't awakened her superpowers yet, which meant she hadn't done enough. Isn't that how it was drawn in the comics? She believed that as long as she pushed herself hard enough, she would awaken her superpowers sooner or later. As for whether she would awaken her superpowers first or get pregnant first, that was up to fate!

Time is tight and the task is heavy, so Hayata Nao took the initiative this time, but Koya will not indulge her this time. Last time, he held back a lot of his effort because he had to travel the next day. It seemed that this made Hayata Nao think that she could defeat Koya if she just tried hard, so this time, let her see what it means to be a man who can defeat even gods!

For the first hour, Koya had been cooperating with Hayata Nao, giving her a taste of knighthood. Koya's powerful waist strength made her feel like she was riding a horse, and her legs were sore from the jolt... But as they played, Hayata Nao, surrounded by warm water, finally realized something was wrong. Why was this guy still so energetic? Wasn't he tired?

Before she could figure it out, the offense and defense changed, and this time the upward push suddenly turned into a downward drill. The force and depth made Hayasaka Nao stick out her tongue——

One hour passed, two hours passed, three hours passed—

"Woooooo~~"

The pile driver once again sprayed lubricating oil into the deep hole. The drill seemed to have accidentally opened up the underground water, and the water kept gushing out, unable to stop.

It’s almost time to stop. If we keep digging, the groundwater will dry up.

Chapter 79: Miss Nayang gets what she wants

This time, Nao Hayata finally got what she wanted. She gained superpowers, and Koya gave her a skill that Mashiro opened. Yes, these skills can be freely exchanged in the hands of the system owner. As long as they are not applicable, they can be given to others. Mashiro gave both skills to Koya, and now Koya gave one of them to Nao Hayata. However, after all, it was opened from a subsystem of a subsystem, so don't have too high expectations. How can I say about this skill that Mashiro opened? It is a bit useful but not very useful.

The ability to sense good and evil can detect what is roughly in the minds of humans. If someone harbors ill will towards the skill owner, including but not limited to hostility, murderous intent, etc., this skill will issue a reminder based on the ill will others have towards the host. For example, if someone curses Hayasaka Nao that her instant noodles do not have a seasoning packet, the reminder will be very subtle. But if someone wants to kill Hayasaka Nao, then the reminder will be very obvious, such as palpitations, hair standing on end, and unexplained pain in the little finger.

Ever seen Spider-Man? Just think of this as a weakened Spider-Sense. It's useless because it can't sense the zombies' ill will towards the user.

When Koya settled Hayata Nao and arrived at the foot of the mountain, the place was very different from a few hours ago. A wooden wall surrounded the exciting wooden house. The tall wooden wall seemed to give people an unparalleled sense of security. At least with the current strength of the zombies, it was impossible to climb over this defense.

Koya also saw Mashiro and Chika who were busy. Mashiro was drawing a house on the drawing board, while Chika kept saying something beside him.

"Mashiro, the wooden house you drew this time is a kitchen, with a stove and a chimney. The stove looks like this... and there's a blower next to the stove, like this..."

"Well, I see."

"Chika, what are you doing?"

Koya approached them and asked curiously. What Chika had just described to Mashiro wasn't drawn in the painting, but Chika's explanation was definitely useful. Otherwise, who would be so bored as to describe how to build a kitchen?

"We just tested Mashiro's abilities and discovered a pattern. For example, if Mashiro draws a wooden house and materializes it directly, there will be nothing inside. However, if you believe the house she drew is a bedroom, then the house will appear as what Mashiro imagines it to be. However, the mental energy consumption will be about twice as much as if the house were empty."

"I see. No wonder this skill was developed by Mashiro. The skill is too limited. For example, if Mashiro draws a pistol, but doesn't know the internal structure, the pistol will just be an empty shell?"

"Yes, that's what I mean. So there's no hope for Gundam or anything like that."

In fact, Mashiro's skill is still very powerful. After all, the upper limit is really high. But at present, due to the limitations of mental strength and cognition, Mashiro can only draw things like wooden houses at most.

"Is this also the reason why you didn't paint a stronger cement wall?"

"Oh, that's not the case. Mashiro is familiar with the hardness of cement. It's just that the consumption is too great. Mashiro can't handle it. I'll upgrade this settlement slowly when I have time."

While Chika and Koya were talking, Mashiro's painting was completed. The next second, a wooden house suddenly appeared in an open space, and the wooden house in Mashiro's painting disappeared at the same time.

"Koya, I'm so tired."

Mashiro threw down her paintbrush and threw herself into Koya's arms, acting like a spoiled child... Ah, no, Mashiro probably doesn't know what acting like a spoiled child is. She's probably acting like this because she's really tired. Koya patted Mashiro's back lovingly and said to Chika next to him.

"What else needs to be done? Let me help her."

"Well, just build one or two water tanks to ensure water supply, and then build two toilets."

"Then Chika, you take care of Mashiro. I'm going to go chop wood."

"Wait, Koya, can you make a water tank?"

"Don't look down on country kids!"

Looking at Koya walking away quickly, Qianhua patted Mashiro who was pushed into her arms by Koya, and said with a hint of envy in her tone.

"He really treats you differently than we do. Could it be that Koya's ideal type is someone like you, Mashiro?"

"Ok?"

Shiina Mashiro tilted her head in confusion~
