Boundless looked at a beautiful woman beside him and asked, "Last night, I asked you to investigate information about Star River. How did that go?"

The beautiful woman gently replied, "I've investigated. We offered some benefits and inquired with the survivors of Area 107 about Star River's information, and they honestly divulged everything."

"From their words, we learned about Star River's development process."

"This person possesses remarkable abilities. Through unknown means, he acquired a large quantity of Spiritual Spring Water early on, which he used to consolidate a substantial amount of resources. Later, he mass-sold items like the Life Secret Elixir and Space Backpack."

"Based on our deductions, the resources in his possession likely have reached a terrifying amount, even more than you, the group leader..."

After listening to the analysis, Boundless nodded.

When he heard that Han Xing had a massive amount of resources, Boundless wasn't surprised.

Because he clearly understood the terrifying speed at which top entities in a large district could acquire resources.

"Got it. Pass on this information to Optimus Prime, Shenxiu and the others to see if they are interested."

"I'm busy with leaderboard rankings lately, so I won't be dealing with these matters for now."

The beautiful woman gave him a glance quietly and then nodded, saying, "Understood."

...

During the night on the territory.

Han Xing and the four others finished their day of battles and began to enjoy some leisure time.

Zhang Lianmeng was still in the outdoor kitchen by the grass, handling ingredients, with Su Xiaoyang helping her by the side.

Though Han Xing's castle has a dedicated kitchen area.

Zhang Lianmeng preferred cooking outside, saying that the air was better there, and she could always pick some fruits and vegetables from her garden nearby.

After a few days of growth, Zhang Lianmeng's garden was thriving, and its area rapidly expanding, planted with various fruits and vegetables, most of which are common species from Blue Star, such as chili peppers, Chinese cabbage, etc.

Now, except for not being able to use their phones, they could say their lives were practically the same as on Blue Star.

When a good meal was ready, Han Xing once again took out a small bottle of Black Vine Wine from the Storage Box.

Everyone poured a cup, and the territory was filled with the aroma of wine.

Coal Ball caught a whiff of the fragrance and dashed over from the castle balcony.

Then it lay beside Han Xing, pawing at him continuously.

Han Xing laughed heartily and also took out a small bowl to pour some for Coal Ball.

Coal Ball happily licked it.

At this time, Cheng Jianyong raised his wine bowl, "Dear brothers and sisters, it's been a hard few days, to everyone!"

Shen Yun gave him a speechless glance and said, "Cheng Jianyong, just eat, why make it so sentimental?"

Cheng Jianyong laughed heartily, "Xiaoyunzi, you don't understand, I'm just happy."

"In this unfamiliar world, it's a rare thing to have a trustworthy group of companions."

Shen Yun paused for a moment upon hearing this.

"Didn't expect you to occasionally come up with something sensible."

Cheng Jianyong grinned proudly.

Seeing this, everyone raised their glasses and drank heartily.

After a few rounds of drinking, everyone entered a slightly tipsy state.

Cheng Jianyong, with a flushed face, said, "By the way, have you noticed that after our attributes increased, our physical condition seems to have become stronger?"

"This Black Vine Wine, I used to get knocked out after one cup, but now I've had three and still feel quite fine."

Upon hearing Cheng Jianyong, it seemed to dawn on everyone else too.

Han Xing nodded, "That's true. In fact, compared to when we first entered this world, our attributes have at least increased dozens of times over."

"With our current physical conditions, if we were back on Blue Star, each of us would be a superman-level existence. One punch could probably demolish an entire floor."

Han Xing's current Strength Attribute is 203, compared to the meager 3 points when he first entered the game; he's improved dozens of times over.

Cheng Jianyong said excitedly, "Haha, do you think if we continue to grow, we might all turn into Superman or Hulk kind of beings?"

Shen Yun scoffed, "I don't want to become a muscle monster. I want to be an Apocalypse Knight in the future, raise my hand and unleash a Holy Light Attack, and a single blow to shatter the continent!"

Cheng Jianyong glanced at him, "You, an Apocalypse Knight?"

"What? Not convinced? Want to have a match?"

Amid Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun's routine bickering, the night wore on.

Everyone gradually dispersed.

Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun returned to their Lord's Cottages.

Zhang Lianmeng and Su Xiaoyang continued back to Han Xing's castle.

Han Xing also returned to his room to make some preparations.

He sat on the balcony and entered the trading channel.

Then he began to input various material information.

First, it was the three materials for making the Blood Curse Antidote.

Witch Root Grass, Cursed Blood, and Divine Aurora.

After entering the first one, Witch Root Grass, more than 300 trade messages appeared.

It seems these survivors, like Han Xing, also discovered Witch Root Grass on some resource Sky Islands, so the reserves were quite sufficient.

Han Xing calculated that there were about 30,000 Witch Root Grass in total on the trading channel.

He noted the price; roughly 200 Spirit Cores could trade for one Witch Root Grass.

Without hesitation, Han Xing spent over 6 million Spirit Cores and swept them all up.

The massive trade on the trading channel concerning Witch Root Grass caught the attention of some folks.

But their attention was pointless because Han Xing had already cleared them all out.

Then, Han Xing continued to input the second material, Cursed Blood.

The trading channel had over 100 entries, totaling more than 2000 drops of Cursed Blood.

Before this, Han Xing had already determined that Cursed Blood only dropped from creatures tainted by Evil God breath.

The hundred or so consignment posts for Cursed Blood indicated that many survivors have encountered such creatures.

Han Xing furrowed his brows. He also spent over 200,000 Spirit Cores to clear out the Cursed Blood.

Then came the third material, Divine Aurora.

After Han Xing inputted the information, he discovered that the consignment information was zero.

"None?"

Han Xing was somewhat surprised and also had a bad premonition.

This represented two possibilities.

Either the material Divine Aurora is too advanced and extremely difficult to acquire.

Or, quite simply, Divine Aurora is not a material that can be obtained through conventional means.

Either possibility was not good news for Han Xing.

Since there was none, he had no choice but to give up.

Next, Han Xing continued to browse the transaction channel for goods.

Strong Beast Hide, Permanent Gold Ingot, Spirit Blood Grass, and so on…

Throughout the night, he spent over ten million Spirit Cores, and these materials were quickly accounted for.

At the same time, Han Xing glanced at the production information for the purple backpack.

[Space Backpack Blueprint (Purple)]: Can produce a backpack with 500 to 800 storage slots, with moderate attribute enhancement effects.

[Materials required for production]: Spirit Core*2000, Mithril*10, Strong Beast Hide*5, Ether*10000,

Now, he already had about ten thousand pieces of Strong Beast Hide.

He could produce over two thousand backpacks in one go.

Making a purple backpack requires 20 seconds per piece.

Han Xing clicked on "produce all" directly, which would take about 12 hours.

Anyway, he could do other things while the production interface was running.

After finishing this, Han Xing prepared to go to bed.

Han Xing comfortably lay back on the bed.

At this moment, he suddenly noticed some movement at the door.

Han Xing focused his gaze.

A beautiful woman, looking a bit guilty as if sneaking, came upstairs from below.

This beauty was Zhang Lianmeng.

To avoid making any noise, she was barefoot, her petite jade feet appeared white and blush-tinted at this moment.

Zhang Lianmeng quietly opened Han Xing's room door and breathed a sigh of relief.

Han Xing asked with some confusion: "What's wrong, Lian'Er?"

Zhang Lianmeng shyly glanced at Han Xing and softly said: "No, nothing, just missed you…"

By now, how could Han Xing not understand the meaning behind her words?

Zhang Lianmeng, at this age, was in the prime of her desires.

Aside from the first few times at the beginning, later, as the two became familiar, it was almost always Zhang Lianmeng who took the initiative.

In front of Han Xing, Zhang Lianmeng gently removed her clothing.

Before long, a smooth and alluring body was presented before Han Xing.

The night's air was a bit chilly; Zhang Lianmeng seemed a bit cold, hugging herself, holding up the grandeur in front of her chest.

This scene made Han Xing's breath quicken as well.

In the next moment, Han Xing pulled her onto the bed.

"Ah!" Zhang Lianmeng exclaimed softly.

Soon, the room was filled with low, suppressed breathing sounds.

...

The second floor of the tower, which was Zhang Lianmeng's room.

Su Xiaoyang, who was in a sleeping state, woke up not long after Zhang Lianmeng left.

At first, she didn't know what Zhang Lianmeng had sneaked out to do.

Suddenly, hearing bursts of strange noises from upstairs, she realized what was happening above.

Feeling a peculiar mix of emotions, Su Xiaoyang's face became increasingly warmer.

She buried her head in the pillow, but the strange sounds upstairs kept seeping into her ears.

Su Xiaoyang felt a surge of restlessness in her heart, her slender jade legs tightly clamped together, as she kept tossing and turning on the bed.

That night, none of the three slept.

The next day…

Before dawn.

Zhang Lianmeng got up from Han Xing's bed and returned to Su Xiaoyang's nest.

Han Xing got up from the bedroom bed and stretched on the balcony.

From afar, he saw Su Xiaoyang and Zhang Lianmeng walking out together.

However, Su Xiaoyang's eyes looked somewhat weary, while Zhang Lianmeng's face had a rosy, satisfied look.

Han Xing's eyes showed a complicated expression.

Upon seeing Han Xing, Zhang Lianmeng waved and greeted him.

Today is the third day of the Cloud Secret Realm update.

There are seven days left until the leaderboard ends.

Han Xing calculated the days.

The end of the leaderboard would be exactly one month since they entered Sky Island Paradise.

That means by then, the second batch of humans from Blue Star will be completely deployed into this world.

Blue Star will become a thing of the past.

Everyone, including Han Xing, will no longer be able to return to that familiar homeland.
