The steel factory has dormitory buildings.

Wang Hao was assigned to the leadership dormitory building.

Two bedrooms and a living room, and the decor is quite nice.

The bed linens were all newly replaced.

The place was cleaned very thoroughly.

Currently, there's no shortage of cheap labor, and few dare to slack off.

If the room isn't cleaned well, it's not just a matter of complaints and fines.

Slighting such an honored guest as him could result in being fed to zombies.

"Brother, what are you thinking about?"

On the sofa, Xiaoyueyue reached out to pinch Wang Hao's face, pouting her lips.

"Ah? Oh! I was thinking whether we should come back here once we're back, I want to get a chicken to take with us."

Wang Hao had plans regarding Zhao Hu's chickens.

Getting a chicken to raise and lay eggs for Xiaoyueyue to eat would be perfect.

"We can get it now! Why come back?"

Xiaoyueyue looked at him with confusion.

"The place we're going next is a bit dangerous, bringing a chicken would be inconvenient."

Wang Hao expressed some helplessness.

Xiaoyueyue's storage space couldn't hold living creatures.

Otherwise, it wouldn't be such a hassle.

"We can take some eggs instead and hatch them into chicks."

"That's possible!"

Wang Hao's eyes lit up, inwardly cursing himself as an idiot.

But hatching eggs into chicks and growing them into adult chickens would still take more than half a year.

"Alright then, let's stay one more day tomorrow, and I'll trade some things with them for eggs."

Wang Hao felt that he probably couldn't leave tomorrow.

Yang Tian and Zhao Hu would surely try to win him over.

The shield superpower he displayed was very useful.

Previously, Yang Tian and Zhao Hu had reached a balance.

Yang Tian's strength couldn't match Zhao Hu's, and Zhao Hu had Zhao Meng, a minor superpower user, on his side.

But Zhao Hu's stamina was lacking, making it hard for him to maintain prolonged combat.

Both sides were wary of each other.

His appearance tipped this balance.

If he allied with Yang Tian, relying on his shield ability to withstand Zhao Hu.

Joining forces with Yang Tian, they could definitely outlast Zhao Hu and then take him down.

If he sided with Zhao Hu,

then with his addition, two and a half superpower users could easily take down Yang Tian.

So, both sides would now try desperately to align with him.

He was brought here by Zhao Meng, naturally closer to the Zhao Brothers.

However, Yang Tian wasn't out of the game yet, as he was the first to send a woman, and Wang Hao seemed quite satisfied.

"Let's see how they make their moves now."

Wang Hao leaned back on the sofa, a smile tugging at the corners of his mouth.

He never considered himself a saint.

If they could offer something tempting enough, Wang Hao was open to cooperating with them.

If it were a top-notch beauty... he might not say no either.

Although Sun Yaoyao was good-looking, with a great figure.

She was undeniably a top-tier white, rich, and beautiful young lady.

But she was still a naive girl with no experience, needing time to learn and be taught.

Wang Hao also didn't want her doing anything too distasteful.

Like the foot service he enjoyed today.

He didn't think much of it before experiencing it, but now he anticipated it a bit.

And the dragon... what is it... he wanted to try that too!

"Knock knock knock!"

As he was dreaming, there came a knock at the door.

"Have they arrived?"

Wang Hao's eyes lit up, signaling Xiaoyueyue to open the door.

"Oh! You've arrived!"

Looking at the beautiful woman who walked in, Wang Hao's lips curved into a slight smile:

"You've been doing quite well here."

A trace of sadness flashed in the woman's eyes as she walked over, taking a seat across from Wang Hao.

She raised her head to look at Wang Hao, her delicate face filled with complex emotions.

"What? Didn't expect me to still be alive?"

Wang Hao jokingly remarked.

"Wang Hao, please take me with you? I'm begging you."

The woman bit her lip slightly, her voice already faltering with a hint of tears.

"Zhang Xiaoxiao, you must be kidding, right? You tried to harm me multiple times, and I haven't shot you through the head; that's already generous.

What makes you think you have the right to ask me to take you with me?"

Wang Hao found it somewhat amusing.

Indeed!

This mysterious woman was none other than Zhang Xiaoxiao.

His girlfriend from university.

"Wang Hao, we did have a past, right? Now that I'm in dire straits, you could easily help me, surely you're not that cold-hearted?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao looked at Wang Hao with a face full of sorrow, tears streaming from her eyes.

She looked so pitiful that one couldn't help wanting to hold her in their arms.

Regardless of other matters, Zhang Xiaoxiao's looks were still very appealing, and she was also a green tea.

A master at capturing a man's heart.

"We had a past? I was just one of your many boyfriends, and you only used me to boost your image, as a prop to build your persona.

I never even kissed you."

Wang Hao lay on the sofa, a hint of amusement in his eyes:

"And today, with you holding my feet, is our first intimate contact."

"Wang Hao, what do you mean? We were young then, having a pure campus romance. I was just more reserved conservative.

Is your mind only filled with those things?"

Zhang Xiaoxiao said somewhat indignantly.

"Do you really think I'm a fool?"

Wang Hao scoffed coldly: "You think I'm unaware of the fact that you were being kept? That guy was bald, with a huge belly, and you could still kiss him."

"You!"

Sun Xiaoxiao's face changed dramatically, looking at Wang Hao with disbelief.

"You were born into an ordinary family, and without making money on your own, how could you have kept up with Chen Lingxue's spending?"

Wang Hao poured himself a cup of tea, speaking leisurely:

"If I guessed right from the start, you targeted Chen Lingxue, consciously approaching her to become best friends, paving your way for the future.

You wanted to use her to achieve social mobility. Choosing me, a decent-looking poor guy, was to create the persona of a naive girl who doesn't worship money, right?

Also using me as a cover, so you could make excuses when going on dates, am I correct?"

Wang Hao had only recently figured all this out.

After all, he was just a naive boy back then.

He wasn't even after Zhang Xiaoxiao, so he pretended not to know about her being kept.

Regardless of having no intentions with Zhang Xiaoxiao.

Now, as he absorbed more spiritual power, constantly strengthening his body, his mind was growing sharper.

Coupled with experiences of scheming and lessons from post-apocalyptic novels, things he couldn't understand before now became clear effortlessly.

Sun Xiaoxiao was dumbfounded.
