This is also the current situation for the vast majority of survivors.

The fact that Han Xing could take her in already filled Zhang Lianmeng with immense gratitude.

Even if she still had to sleep in a tent outside the territory like before, she would feel very satisfied.

She never thought that Han Xing would actually let her live in the castle. For a moment, feelings of deep gratitude toward Han Xing surged in Zhang Lianmeng's heart.

She sincerely thanked him, "Brother Xing, thank you."

Han Xing was speechless, wasn't it just giving her a room, was there really a need for this?

Han Xing continued, "The room at the very top of the central tower is mine, the rest, you can choose as you wish."

"Once you've chosen, take a look at what furniture you need, and I'll make it for you."

Zhang Lianmeng softly replied with an "mm," looking somewhat lost as she eyed the vast space in the castle, not knowing which room to choose.

A moment later, she seemed to gather some courage and quietly asked, "Brother Xing, may I, may I live in the room below yours?"

After saying this, Zhang Lianmeng felt her face burning hot, like a ripe apple, making one want to take a gentle bite.

Han Xing glanced at her.

Although he wanted to refuse, he recalled that this woman had saved his life, so he reconsidered and let it go.

Han Xing nodded.

Zhang Lianmeng breathed lightly, whispering, "That's great!"

Upon reaching the middle room of the tower.

Han Xing crafted a new set of furniture for Zhang Lianmeng, including a bed, table, mirror, and moonlight lamp.

Time quietly crept into deep night.

Then, Han Xing also made several sets of clothes for her, all in simple pajama styles.

In this world, this aspect is convenient.

As long as you have blueprints and materials, you can make things anytime, anywhere.

And these basic items can all be found in the comprehensive furniture, daily essentials, and basic tools blueprint collections.

After a busy day, Han Xing was also tired, returning to his room and collapsing onto his bed, falling asleep immediately.

Coal Ball lay at Han Xing's feet, and without his orders for the past two days, it stayed in the room without stepping out.

The night deepened.

Han Xing's castle had changed in subtle ways, for tonight, it welcomed a new resident.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng laid on her bed, tightly clutching the pillow between her legs, tossing and turning in a side-lying position, unable to sleep no matter what.

"Mm... so comfortable..."

"It's been so long since I felt what it's like to sleep on a bed."

She couldn't help but recall the events of the past few days.

Ever since meeting Han Xing, her life had undergone a monumental change.

Not only had he saved her from the kobolds, but he also provided her with a warm place to stay.

At this moment, Zhang Lianmeng felt like this man was the light from heaven sent to save her life.

In this perilous world, she experienced a sense of safety she had never felt before.

At this time, she couldn't help but feel fortunate for her actions back then, secretly rejoicing, "Thankfully, I had the courage to seek your help, hehe..."

Just then, Zhang Lianmeng suddenly sniffed, twitching her nose.

"Sniff... sniff..."

She tentatively sniffed the pillow, and when she found no scent of Han Xing, her expression fell with disappointment.

At this moment, she seemed to realize that her recent actions were somewhat infatuated.

She bashfully buried her face deeply into the pillow...

...

Early the next morning.

Han Xing got up from bed on time.

However, as soon as he opened the door, he saw a grand... no, a beautiful woman standing at the door, wearing only thin pajamas with a white apron tied in front.

This beauty, naturally, was Zhang Lianmeng.

In her hands, she held two bowls of steaming hot porridge.

However, Han Xing realized that the pajamas he made were obviously a bit small, fitting tightly on Zhang Lianmeng, highlighting her curves almost completely.

Seeing her in this outfit made Han Xing feel an uncontrollable rush of heat.

Damn it, waking up to an apron and pajamas, which hot-blooded young man could withstand such a test?

Han Xing quickly turned his gaze aside, coughed twice, and asked, "Up so early?"

Zhang Lianmeng chuckled, nodding, "I heard you say you eat meat every day, that's not good for your health, so I got up early to cook two bowls of porridge for you, see what flavor you like?"

She held two bowls of steaming porridge, and Han Xing noticed there were millet, red dates, and some vegetable seeds inside.

"Either will do."

Han Xing nodded, "Come in, I have a table on the balcony, let's eat there."

Zhang Lianmeng carefully moved her steps, following Han Xing into the room.

Her eyes were full of curiosity as she looked around Han Xing's room.

Then, she seemed to notice Coal Ball lying on the bed, exclaiming, "Ah! Such a cute little dog!"

She quickly put the porridge aside, just about to reach out and pet Coal Ball.

But she then saw Coal Ball immediately stand up from the bed, baring its teeth, looking fiercely at her.

Zhang Lianmeng felt a bit at a loss.

Han Xing reminded her, "Coal Ball is a wolf, it doesn't like strangers touching it, so you'd best not get close."

Upon hearing Han Xing's words, Zhang Lianmeng gave up the idea of petting Coal Ball, although her gaze remained fixed on the little wolf cub, with a face full of doting expression.

Zhang Lianmeng picked up the hot porridge again, sitting across from Han Xing.

On the top floor's small balcony, Zhang Lianmeng looked at the scenery outside, marveling, "Ah! What a view from here."

"I never thought in this world, one could have such living conditions. I thought everyone was like me, sleeping in tents."

Han Xing didn't respond to this topic but tasted a spoonful of millet porridge, finding it warm with a delicate taste.

He praised, "Great taste."

"Hehe, as long as you like it."

Zhang Lianmeng giggled, "I know many ways to cook porridge and make different breakfasts. I'm quite good at cooking since there are ingredients, I can make a variety of dishes for you every day."

Han Xing nodded. He had indeed heard Zhang Lianmeng mention before that she was quite skilled in the kitchen.

In such a crisis-ridden world, having someone to cook for him was good.

Thinking it over, it seemed nice indeed.

After breakfast, Zhang Lianmeng swiftly cleared the tableware and then went downstairs.

Just then, in the discussion group, Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun sent messages.

Cheng Jianyong: "Brother Xing, Shen Yun and I are about to meet up, when will you come over?"

Han Xing suddenly remembered that he had indeed said to gather at the same coordinates.

But because of Zhang Lianmeng's task fragment, he forgot about it.

Not only did he not approach them, but he got even further away.

At this moment, Han Xing thought for a while and said, "I did a task over here and ran a bit far, I might not be able to make it there soon, it'll take a few days."

Shen Yun then said, "Brother Xing, should the two of us come find you?"

Han Xing thought for a moment, shook his head, "No need for now—since you two are about to meet up, focus on leveling up as a team, and get the ranking rewards first."

"Once you've built the teleportation array, you can come over anytime."

Cheng Jianyong and Shen Yun seemed to realize this too.

The rewards for this leaderboard included a Basic Teleportation Array blueprint for the top hundred.

With their skills, and the help Han Xing had provided, getting the ranking rewards wouldn't be too hard.

Then Han Xing thought for a moment and continued, "By the way, Cheng Jianyong, Shen Yun, I have something important to tell you."

Both of them immediately grew serious.

Even Han Xing mentioned it's important, so this matter must be quite serious.
