BXBX NOVEL Chapter 13 - The Second Wave!
Wu Chi lit the kerosene lamp, the dim yellow light illuminating the surroundings.
He took out two portions of food and placed them on the table.
“Steamed buns, beef jerky, pickled vegetables.”
“The conditions are simple, don’t mind it.”
He gestured for Lin Daiyu to sit down, smiling.
Lin Daiyu shook her head and elegantly sat sideways on the chair, picking up a steamed bun and taking a small bite.
Thanks to the inventory system,
the freshness of the food was guaranteed, so the bun was nearly as fresh as if it had just been baked, not too hard.
She frowned slightly, seemingly a little uncomfortable,
but she didn’t complain, silently continuing to eat.
The two of them quickly finished their dinner,
Wu Chi took out two cups of water and handed one to her, saying, “Once I build a restaurant or hotel, we’ll be able to enjoy gourmet food. Plus, there will be food with special attributes!”
“Mm, I’m looking forward to it.”
Lin Daiyu smiled sweetly, her gentle voice reaching Wu Chi’s heart.
His heart skipped a beat, and he coughed, taking out a specially made timer.
The situation in the Boundless Void was complicated. Whether the sun and day-night cycle existed was uncertain, depending on where each Lord descended.
There had been instances where Lords had arrived in places where nine suns hung in the sky,
almost roasting them into leather,
forcing them to leave after only a few minutes.
Wu Chi, like others, had descended into a strange land, where the sun was nowhere to be seen, and naturally, time could not be distinguished.
This mechanical timer wasn’t an equipment with attributes, but it was still very useful.
“It’s 11 PM.”
“How about we… rest?”
Wu Chi swallowed nervously.
“Would young master like me to warm your bed?”
Lin Daiyu’s beautiful eyes sparkled with a smile, seeing through Wu Chi’s thoughts.
But she wasn’t angry, only teasing him lightly.
Wu Chi’s face turned red, and he said, “How about you sleep on the bed, and I’ll sleep on the floor?”
“No!”
Lin Daiyu shook her head firmly, her gaze soft as water,
“If young master is not troubled by me?”
“H-how could that be?”
“I am your Lord!”
Wu Chi awkwardly tried to defend himself, hesitating for a moment before lying down on the hard wooden bed.
Although the [Small Hut] was old, it was still a territory building,
and it wasn’t cold inside.
He closed his eyes,
and soon,
he felt the warmth of a fragrant body lying beside him.
Perhaps he was tired, or perhaps having such a powerful presence nearby brought peace,
but Wu Chi quickly drifted off to sleep.
…
The next day!
The kerosene lamp had long since gone out.
In the dim hut, Wu Chi slowly woke up, opening his eyes and feeling a bit disoriented.
Soon,
he came to his senses, taking a deep breath,
and a pleasant fragrance filled his nose,
like ginseng and goji berries, making him feel warm all over.
Turning his head,
Lin Daiyu was still sleeping sweetly beside him.
It seemed she had taken out her hairpin before sleeping,
and her long black hair was slightly messy, falling down to cover half of her earlobe.
On her perfect face was a faint expression of peace.
With each breath,
her delicate, slender figure rose and fell slightly,
her pale, jade-like skin visible under her thin sleeves, glowing with a soft sheen.
“Did I fall asleep as soon as I laid down?”
Looking at the sleeping beauty before him, Wu Chi couldn’t help but slap himself.
“Tsk! Coward!”
Wu Chi carefully got up, gazing at her delicate face, unable to resist leaning down and kissing her lightly.
Afterwards,
his heart raced, and he didn’t have time to think about how he felt. He grabbed the timer and hurriedly left the hut.
“Creak—!”
As the door closed,
in the dark hut,
Lin Daiyu opened her eyes, her beautiful eyes carrying a faint blush,
a slight flush appearing on her fair neck,
like a blooming peach blossom, stunningly charming.
…
9:20 AM.
“I actually slept this long.”
Wu Chi put the timer away, then took out his toothbrush and toothpaste, brushing his teeth by the fence.
Just as he was brushing vigorously,
suddenly, footsteps echoed from the darkness!
Wu Chi raised his head warily, and through the fog in the distance, several black shadows quickly approached!
“The monster invasion is so early today?”
Wu Chi narrowed his eyes, hastily rinsed his mouth, and put the items away.
At this moment,
the figures in the gray mist became clearer.
A large group, at least twenty or so, all wearing ram’s horn helmets, and silver iron armor, humanoid monsters!
They held long spears, their eyes bloodshot, and looked formidable.
“Perfect, I can test out the new buildings I made yesterday!”
“And with Void Crystals in hand, summoning soldiers won’t be a problem.”
Wu Chi pondered for a moment, then looked at the two defense towers.
Both the [Flame Explosion Tower] and [Stinky Fart Tower] had decent attack ranges! But the closer the target, the more accurate it would be.
Thus,
Wu Chi waited, and when the humanoid monsters got within a hundred meters,
“Control first, then output!”
Wu Chi calmly analyzed, controlling the [Stinky Fart Tower] to attack!
The next moment…
