A golden light rose from the thatched hut, and the entire structure began to shake violently.

The original tattered thatch was replaced piece by piece with sturdy wooden planks, the walls thickened, the roof heightened, and another layer grew on top.

A few minutes later, a brand new two-story wooden house appeared before everyone.

The area expanded from the original fifty square meters to a full one hundred square meters.

More importantly, the entire foundation of the house was raised, and the water level now only reached the threshold of the first floor, with the second floor completely free from the threat of flooding.

"Quick, get up there!"

Huang Tang waved to the women.

Everyone scrambled into the wooden house, climbing up the newly appeared stairs to the second floor.

Stepping on the solid wooden planks and feeling the dry air, several women collapsed directly onto the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably.

"We're alive..."

"We survived..."

Su Qing rushed over, burying her head in Huang Tang's chest, crying her heart out.

Huang Tang patted her back, about to offer some comforting words, when a loud mechanical voice suddenly rang in his ear.

[Server Announcement!]

[Congratulations to player "Huang Tang" for becoming the first homeowner to upgrade a thatched hut to a two-story wooden house!]

[Special announcement, reward: Bronze Treasure Chest ×1!]

[We hope all players will continue to strive, as long as the flood persists, the building must go on!]

Huang Tang was stunned.

A server-wide announcement?

Does this mean he's the first in the world to upgrade a house?

At the same time, a semi-transparent interface appeared before him, it was the [World Channel].

Countless messages were scrolling like crazy.

[World Channel]

"Damn??? Someone's already upgraded???"

"I just managed to gather five pieces of wood, where did this person find fifty?!"

"Big shot, please take me with you! I can be your servant!"

"Does anyone have extra rope? I'll trade information for it! I know a secret about an Any Door!"

"Help!!! My thatched hut was washed away!!! I'm clinging to a wooden plank now!!! Something seems to be nudging me in the water!!! Ah—!!!"

The last message abruptly stopped.

The avatar of the player who sent the message turned gray.

The World Channel went silent for a second, then the messages scrolled even more frantically.

"Whoever gives me wood, I'll show you private photos!! Please, I don't want to die!"

"Upstairs, private chat!!!"

"Damn, that person was a burly guy, don't be fooled everyone!!"

"Bro, I never said I was a girl! It's a mutual agreement, how can you call it a scam!"

……

These netizens, each more abstract than the last.

All just see fun men!

Huang Tang shook his head, closed the World Channel, and started pulling things out from the System Space.

Clothes.

A whole pile of clothes.

All from opened delivery boxes.

"Put these on quickly," he said, "catching a cold here could really be fatal."

The women cheered and rushed forward.

Soon, they discovered a serious problem.

These clothes were quite inappropriate!

"What... what is this?"

Bai Tao from the finance department held up a high-slit cheongsam, the slit reaching all the way to the waist.

"My God, why is this dress see-through?" someone said, holding a sheer long dress, their face turning green.

"And this... an Ultraman costume?"

"White stockings? So many white stockings?"

Huang Tang scratched his head, looking very innocent: "Well... it was random, I couldn't help it."

"Aren't you The Lucky One Possession?" Bai Tao glared at him, "And this is what you got?"

"Isn't it fine?" Jiang Jing'an immediately stood up for Huang Tang, "Besides Huang Tang, we're all women here, does it matter what we wear?"

Saying that, she showed off her bunny girl outfit.

Her actions were bold and confident.

Several female colleagues blushed and quickly turned away.

The clothes might be inappropriate, but it was better than being naked.

In the end, everyone resigned themselves to changing into them.

Now, Huang Tang's eyes weren't just fixed.

They were dazzled!

"How can an Ultraman costume look so sexy on a woman!"

"Oh my! A red bellyband?"

"And white stockings..."

Huang Tang really wanted to know who bought these clothes!

They were exactly to his taste!!

Jiang Jing'an noticed Huang Tang's eyes were all on the other women and gritted her teeth secretly.

"Careless!"

"If I had known, I should have burned all these clothes, better to have them all naked!"

Seeing everyone feeling awkward, Huang Tang tried to ease the atmosphere by pulling more things out of the System Space.

Bottled water, self-heating hot pots, chocolate, beef jerky, red wine, fresh fruits...

He laid them out one by one, piling them into a small mountain.

Everyone's eyes went wide.

"Are these... all food?" someone asked in disbelief.

"And fruit? Fresh fruit?"

"Red wine? Am I seeing things? Drinking red wine in a survival scenario?"

The women were stunned for three seconds, then rushed forward.

"Huang Tang! You're amazing!"

"I misjudged you! Who cares about those clothes! Having food is the real deal!"

"Huang Tang, I love you!"

Huang Tang was a bit flustered by the praise, about to say something modest, when Jiang Jing'an wrapped her arm around his.

"You don't know," she raised her voice by eight degrees, ensuring everyone could hear, "how hard it was for Huang Tang in there! Those delivery boxes piled up like a mountain, he spent four hours opening them all by himself! His hands were worn out!"

"He had to guard against monsters! And find materials! The moment he got these things, he thought of coming back to give you all something to wear and eat, without holding anything back!"

She said, shaking Huang Tang's arm vigorously:

"A good man like this, there's only one in the world!"

Huang Tang: "..."

The way she put it, even he felt a bit embarrassed.

But the effect was immediate.

The way the women looked at him changed noticeably.

If before it was "this person is the homeowner, we have to listen to him."

Now it was "this man seems... quite reliable?"

Some of the bolder ones were already giving him flirtatious looks.

Su Qing stood at the edge of the crowd, looking at Huang Tang being held by Jiang Jing'an, then at the eyes of the surrounding female colleagues, feeling like a stone was lodged in her heart.

She and Huang Tang were childhood sweethearts, growing up together, as familiar as could be.

But now she hadn't even had a chance to say a few words, and Jiang Jing'an had already become the closest person to Huang Tang.

A quick look at tinyurl.com/2p9emv8w will leave you more fulfilled.

Can she tolerate this?

She bit her lip, secretly making up her mind.

Tomorrow, tomorrow she must take the initiative!

Cai Lin's feelings were also complicated.

Not entirely because of Jiang Jing'an.

Though that girl did leave her speechless.

But because of another unspeakable secret.

Besides awakening the [Draw Pie Healing] talent, she also had an attached [Hehuan System]!
