Cheng Jianyong listened, glanced at the teleportation array's function interface.

"I see, Brother Xing, what's your teleportation array number?"

Han Xing took a look and replied, "1377."

This number is randomly generated, not determined by the order in which survivors establish teleportation arrays, and it can be rerandomized later, equivalent to a login password but requires the lord's approval.

"Got it! I'll teleport over first, Xiaoyunzi will wait for the next batch."

Since the teleportation array can only send one person per hour, Shen Yun had to wait for the cooldown to end.

Shen Yun expressed that he had no objections.

A prompt appeared before Han Xing's eyes.

[Survivor 'Cheng Jianyong' is applying to enter your territory through the teleportation array number, do you agree?]

"Yes."

The next moment.

A white light shone in the middle of the teleportation array, and a human figure started to appear faintly.

Zhang Lianmeng stood behind Han Xing, poking her head nervously.

Before the light from the teleportation array dissipated, Cheng Jianyong's loud laughter echoed.

"Hey hey hey! I'm coming, damn it!"

His voice arrived before he did.

Han Xing watched the teleportation array with a look of speechless exasperation.

The next moment, a tall, burly man, carrying a great sword and donned in a full set of blue light armor appeared.

This person was none other than Cheng Jianyong.

Cheng Jianyong's eyes lit up the moment he saw Han Xing.

With excitement, he leapt forward and shouted, "Brother Xing! I'm here!"

However, midway through his charge, he suddenly noticed Zhang Lianmeng behind Han Xing.

His forward momentum halted abruptly, and Cheng Jianyong exclaimed in shock, "Oh my... such a beautiful woman..."

With a face full of terror, Cheng Jianyong saw Han Xing approaching with Zhang Lianmeng.

Yet Cheng Jianyong stepped back abruptly and shouted, "Stop! What kind of monster are you, halt!"

He raised his great sword, eyeing Han Xing and Zhang Lianmeng with caution.

"Cheng Jianyong, what craziness are you on?" Han Xing asked, puzzled.

Cheng Jianyong shouted, "Brother Xing, come over quickly, this woman beside you is a banshee, she has already bewitched you!"

Beside him, Zhang Lianmeng was flustered, glancing at Han Xing and then at Cheng Jianyong, nervously saying.

"Brother Xing... I'm not a monster..."

"I know."

Han Xing gently patted her shoulder, speechless, "Cheng Jianyong, stop acting crazy here."

Seeing the somewhat intimate actions between the two, Cheng Jianyong was bewildered.

But upon seeing Zhang Lianmeng's survivor status, he breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey! She's really not a monster!"

"I thought someone as solitary as Brother Xing would never have anything to do with women in his life..."

Han Xing rolled his eyes at him and said, "Cheng Jianyong, shut up."

Cheng Jianyong rubbed his head and laughed awkwardly two times.

After the three gathered.

Cheng Jianyong curiously looked at Zhang Lianmeng, and occasionally glanced at Han Xing, his face showing a strange expression.

Zhang Lianmeng lowered her head in nervousness.

At this moment, Cheng Jianyong seemed to think of something, a mischievous smile appearing on his face.

However, Cheng Jianyong dragged Han Xing to the side, chuckled quietly, and asked, "Brother Xing, when did this happen?"

Han Xing was confused by the question, "When did what happen?"

"Hmm?" Cheng Jianyong widened his eyes, "Trying to hide it from this brother? Let me tell you, I'm a married man, I can tell at a glance that this woman has an unusual relationship with you."

Han Xing rolled his eyes at him, shrugged, which was a disguised acknowledgment.

Come to think of it, he didn't have anything to hide.

Being a young guy, finding a woman is perfectly normal.

Seeing Han Xing's reaction, Cheng Jianyong's eyes lit up, and then he gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Xing, impressive!"

At this moment, he looked at Zhang Lianmeng beside him and praised, "Nice choice, sister-in-law is really beautiful!"

He made no attempt to hide his words, and Zhang Lianmeng not far away could clearly hear them.

Zhang Lianmeng blushed, quickly denying, "Not... not sister-in-law..."

However, Cheng Jianyong internally accepted it and continued chuckling non-stop.

Zhang Lianmeng was so embarrassed by his laughter that she lowered her head bashfully.

At this moment, Han Xing briefly introduced the two and explained how he met Zhang Lianmeng.

After listening, Cheng Jianyong nodded, his face displaying a smile, "I see, so Sister Lianmeng saved Brother Xing once... and then Brother Xing offered his life, right?"

"Hahaha, Brother Xing finally got it this time!"

Zhang Lianmeng was once again rendered red-faced by Cheng Jianyong's teasing words.

Seeing that he wanted to say more, Han Xing directly ordered, "Cheng Jianyong, just shut up!"

"Any more nonsense, don't you want the Black Vine Wine?"

Those words seemed to hit Cheng Jianyong's weak spot, and he quickly covered his mouth, exclaiming, "Brother Xing, I won't say it, I won't say it!"

Then he looked on expectantly and said, "Give me some!"

Han Xing helplessly took out a 200ml bottle of Black Vine Wine from his backpack and tossed it over to him.

Cheng Jianyong caught it and immediately fell silent.

Han Xing, speechless, said, "Just stay put and wait for Shen Yun to come over."

Cheng Jianyong quickly replied, "Got it, Brother Xing!"

Then, Han Xing grabbed a stool and waited for Shen Yun to come over together with Cheng Jianyong.

A few dozen minutes later, the teleportation array finished cooling down.

After Shen Yun teleported over, he saw Zhang Lianmeng and also let out a stunning gasp of amazement.

Cheng Jianyong hastily pulled Shen Yun aside to explain the situation.

After listening, Shen Yun's shock was no less than Cheng Jianyong's.

It seemed he didn't expect that Han Xing, who had never interacted much with other girls, could suddenly bring out such a stunning beauty.

Speaking of which, Zhang Lianmeng practically outshone most of the women they had met before in terms of both figure and looks.

Although she was a bit older, that mature charm added a distinct flavor.

However, Shen Yun's reaction wasn't as exaggerated as Cheng Jianyong's; he just patted Han Xing on the shoulder and nodded.

On the lawn of the territory outside the castle.

A round table was set up.

Han Xing, Cheng Jianyong, Shen Yun.

The three of them each sat in a corner.

Zhang Lianmeng stood prettily beside Han Xing, quite pleasing to the eye.

At this point, Cheng Jianyong looked around and sighed, "I have to say, Brother Xing, this territory is really beautiful!"

"With your own castle, lawn, and private vegetable garden, if you raise a bunch of cattle and sheep in the future, it'll be a truly heavenly life!"

Indeed, Han Xing's territory looked much more beautiful now than it did before.

Before, it was just a barren piece of land, and with the different land resources merged from various clouds, the whole place looked somewhat colorful.

After being tended to by Zhang Lianmeng, it was all replaced with tender green lawns.

Ah, that touch of sophistication instantly came through!

Unlike Cheng Jianyong, Shen Yun kept his eyes on the few hundred siege crossbow arrow launcher platforms in Han Xing's territory; he was more interested in these.

Shen Yun asked curiously, "Brother Xing, are these things attack-type structures?"

Han Xing nodded, "Yeah, siege crossbow arrow launcher platforms. A single volley can instantly kill even leader-level monsters!"

After hearing Han Xing's description, the two of them gasped in amazement.

Then they both gave Han Xing a thumbs-up.

"Impressive!"

"With these, even if we encounter hordes of enemies, a single volley, and they'd be wiped out!"

Han Xing nodded, "It's a pity, though. I can't build this blueprint on other territories, otherwise I could build dozens of them on yours."

Cheng Jianyong couldn't help but feel a bit of regret upon hearing this.

Shen Yun continued, "It's alright, Brother Xing. We've already built the Spiritual Shield Pyramid, so we have some defensive capability. Plus, we got the top ten rewards, and a few Silver Armor Puppets to help guard our territory. No one should dare to mess with us."

Han Xing nodded.

Shen Yun went on to ask, "Brother Xing, got any plans for what to do next?"

"Or should we consider teaming up to hunt monsters?"

Han Xing pondered for a moment. His original plan was for the four of them to form a team and take a look at the Abyssal Rift.

Through trading, he had already gathered a large number of Strong Fragments, equivalent to thousands of Abyssal Rift Passes.

The system's introduction mentioned that the Abyssal Rift had many unique items and equipment, divided into several layers.

And the first layer, the lowest requirement for entry is Level 10.

Currently, all four of them had broken through in levels and completed their profession advancements.

Taking on the first layer of the Abyssal Rift shouldn't be too difficult.

Han Xing laid out his plan on the table.

Both Shen Yun and Cheng Jianyong nodded in agreement after hearing it.

At this moment, Shen Yun asked, "This Abyssal Rift sounds good, with our strength, we should be able to get through the first layer."

"So should we take action now?"

Han Xing looked at Shen Yun, then at Cheng Jianyong, and said, "Hold on a sec. I see most of your equipment is Blue Armor, and even a couple of pieces are Green Armor."

The two of them exchanged glances, then nodded.

Cheng Jianyong chimed in, "Well, the strength of my equipment ranks among the top in the Warrior sector of District 107!"

"I've met several Survivors before, all begging to team up with me, constantly calling me big brother and asking me to guide them through the clouds!"

"But I ignored them, hehe!"

He said with a hint of pride, evidently very confident in his equipment.

Han Xing glanced at him and asked, "Are you saying your equipment strength is already sufficient?"

Cheng Jianyong seemed to realize something and quickly abandoned his proud expression, exclaiming excitedly, "Ah, not nearly enough! Compared to Brother Xing's equipment, mine is just a pile of scrap metal, too worthless to even keep in storage."

His tone shifted instantly, "Brother Xing, do you have any extra Purple Armor you can spare me?"

Before Han Xing could say anything, Zhang Lianmeng laughed.

"Pfft!"

She seemed amused by Cheng Jianyong's shamelessness.

Cheng Jianyong chuckled, "Even sister-in-law is amused, Brother Xing, you see..."

"You this guy..."
