Chapter 2 – Awakening of All 24 Female Colleagues' Talents?

They were standing on the peak of a mountain.

To be precise, it was the last small patch of the mountain that hadn't been submerged.

The water was less than a meter below their feet.

In fact, the dorsal fin of a shark sliced through the water's surface just three meters in front of them!

"This..." Su Qing's voice trembled, "Is this real?"

"If the water rises by a meter each day," Cai Lin's voice was also unsteady, "Today's water level is here, tomorrow..."

Everyone turned to look at the drafty thatched hut behind them.

By this time tomorrow, it would be completely submerged!

"We have only one day," Huang Tang spoke, "If we can't upgrade the house in a day, we'll be devoured by the beasts in the flood!"

He opened a virtual panel visible to everyone.

[Current House: Drafty Thatched Hut]

[Upgrade Target: Simple Two-story Wooden House]

[Materials Needed: Wood ×50, Rope ×10]

He looked at the others, "This is our only way to survive!"

"But where do we get wood and rope?" someone asked.

Looking around, there was nothing but floodwater, not even a single strand of hair!

Huang Tang glanced at the countdown in the top right corner of the system panel.

[First Any Door Activation Time: 8 minutes 32 seconds]

"The Any Door connects to an unknown alternate world, where we might find the materials we need!"

"Besides me, has anyone else awakened their abilities?" Huang Tang asked.

This was the key to their survival in this survival game!

After a few seconds of silence.

Cai Lin spoke first, "I did feel something, it seems to be... [Draw Pie Healing]."

"Draw Pie?" Huang Tang was taken aback, "Why does this ability name sound so..."

"Shut up."

Cai Lin glared at him but explained, "The effect is that I can verbally soothe an injured person, making them believe they will recover soon, thereby accelerating their recovery speed. The more sincere the comfort, the better the effect."

Huang Tang understood, "So it's like drawing a big pie for someone, making them feel they can do it?"

Cai Lin was silent for a moment, "...You could put it that way."

"What if they are seriously injured?" Su Qing asked.

"Theoretically, as long as the person believes in my pie, they can hang on," Cai Lin said, feeling a bit absurd herself, "But if they don't believe..."

"Then they'll die?" Huang Tang said.

Cai Lin didn't answer, but her expression said it all.

"This ability..." Huang Tang scratched his head, "Cai, you'll need to practice your pie-drawing skills well, our lives depend on your words."

Cai Lin gave him a cold look and didn't respond.

Company accountant Bai Tao: "My ability is [Synthesis]. I can randomly combine three low-level items into one high-level item."

Company receptionist Jiang Jing'an: "My sister and I have the ability [Mirror Synchronization], allowing us to temporarily share vision and hearing."

Company operations Su Qing: "Mine is [Planting]."

...

Others also reported their abilities one after another.

There were abilities related to cooking, invention, tailoring...

All 24 female colleagues had awakened different abilities.

Huang Tang noted them all down; once trained, they would form a powerful logistics team!

Just then, a ripple appeared inside the thatched hut.

The ripple grew larger and brighter, eventually transforming into a door of light, suspended in mid-air.

[Any Door is now open]

[Exploration Time Limit: 5 hours]

[Failure to return within the time limit will result in an attack by unknown monsters!]

"The situation inside the Any Door is unclear. I can take at most two people with me to search for materials. You can choose among yourselves."

Huang Tang said to the 24 naked female colleagues around him.

"Me!"

"I'll go!"

"Huang Tang, pick me!"

Several hands shot up simultaneously.

Huang Tang was momentarily stunned; were they all so eager?

He looked at them and suddenly gave a meaningful smile, "Ladies, did you forget the system's warning? There might be unknown monsters inside the Any Door, possibly zombies or goblins."

"I heard goblins love human females, especially those without clothes..."

The air noticeably froze.

The hands that had been raised began to lower one by one.

"I... I just remembered I get dizzy from teleporting," someone whispered.

"I haven't figured out my ability yet, going in would just be a burden."

"Yeah, yeah, let the capable ones go first, we'll support from the rear."

Huang Tang quietly watched as the women changed their minds faster than flipping a book.

It's better to back down now than to go in and be scared stiff by danger.

Suddenly, while Huang Tang was off guard, a soft body pressed against him.

"Huang Tang, I'll go with you."

Huang Tang looked down to see Jiang Jing'an, the company receptionist, looking up at him with bright eyes, her hands tightly wrapped around his arm, two soft mounds pressing against it.

"Such elasticity...!"

Huang Tang seriously felt the sensation on his arm.

Jiang Jing'an showed no aversion.

She understood very well that Huang Tang was the only male, and also the house owner with such a powerful ability. If she wanted to survive in this survival game, when else should she cling to him?

There was danger, but it could also make Huang Tang remember her!

Forget about being taken advantage of, she'd even be willing if Huang Tang wanted more!

"There's one more spot," Huang Tang looked at the others, "Who will go?"

The others avoided his gaze, pretending to study the structure of the thatched hut.

"I'll go."

A cool voice spoke up.

Huang Tang looked up to see Cai Lin stepping forward.

"Cai?" Huang Tang was surprised.

Cai Lin: "I'm the CEO, it's my responsibility to protect the employees."

Huang Tang: "..."

Alright then.

"That's settled," he decided, "Cai, Jiang Jing'an, and I will go in. The rest of you stay here and wait for us to return."

The three of them, bare-bottomed, walked into the Any Door together!

...

When they opened their eyes again, the three were in a completely different space.

Huge. Empty. Dim.

It was an abandoned logistics warehouse, with crisscrossing steel beams overhead and a few fluorescent lights flickering on and off.

Around them were piles of delivery boxes, some neatly stacked, others scattered all over the place.

"Wow..." Jiang Jing'an looked around, "So many packages!"

Huang Tang's eyes lit up.

Delivery boxes!

Isn't this a blind box paradise?

It matched perfectly with his drawn card [Good Luck Comes]!

He turned his head and found Cai Lin was gone.

Cai Lin was quickly opening boxes to find clothes; being naked was more torturous than death for her!

"Huang Tang, shall we start looking for materials too?" Jiang Jing'an approached with a delivery box, smiling.

She didn't seem embarrassed about being naked at all.

And she was very generous in showcasing her differences.

Huang Tang almost felt a nosebleed coming on.

With this enchantress around, how could he focus on opening packages? He dismissed her, "We don't have much time, you go over there, splitting up will be more efficient."

No kidding, this is about survival, he wouldn't be swayed by beauty!

That's called self-control!

Jiang Jing'an pouted but didn't insist, heading deeper into the warehouse.

She understood the concept of "moderation."

Huang Tang squatted down, rubbed his hands, and looked at the nearest delivery box.

"Come on, let me feel what it's like to be possessed by The Lucky One."

He tore off the tape.

[Obtained: Spoon ×1]

"…"

Next.

[Obtained: Cat Food ×1]

"…"

Next.

[Obtained: Mouse Pad ×1]

Huang Tang was silent.

He stood up, looking at the mountain of delivery boxes in front of him, then at the three items in his hand, and fell into deep self-doubt.

Where was the promised Lucky One Possession?

Where was the promised luck explosion?

Damn it, this was more like being possessed by bad luck!

Unconvinced, he opened more than ten more.

The items he got became increasingly ridiculous.

A nail clipper, a phone case, expired spicy sticks, a book on "Postpartum Care for Sows"...

"System," he gritted his teeth, "You call this [Good Luck Comes]?"
