When Hua Ge and Yao Mengyu arrived at their residence after a satisfying meal, their excitement was no less than that of the hot pot dinner earlier.

The distance wasn't far; it was right next to the hut. From the outside, it was just an ordinary thatched hut, but it was clean and hygienic, without any smell of blood. As for the inside…

Good heavens! It's the thatched hut that Sister Su was talking about. It actually has electricity, air conditioning, and underfloor heating. It even has a fresh air system. It's the so-called three essentials of home renovation, and it doesn't lack any of them.

The furnishings inside are not luxurious compared to the small house, but they are very practical. There are two bedrooms in the thatched house, each with its own washroom and shower room, and even a small dressing room. It has everything you need. Although it looks dilapidated on the outside, the interior is no less than some four-star hotels.

"This...is this really for us to stay in?"

Seeing the surprised looks on Hua Ge and Yao Mengyu's faces, the food critic glanced around at the surroundings and felt a pang of pity.

Is it really that serious? You can be so moved by this? If you saw their haunted house dormitory, would you be so moved that you couldn't sleep?

"It's alright, you can stay here."

"Those mysterious lords..."

"I said it's for you, so it's for you." The food critic immediately stopped Hua Ge from saying anything more and quickly waved his hand, "It's too late today, you guys should rest first. As for what kind of work to do, we'll have to ask the boss tomorrow."

Having said that, the gourmet, like a greased diner, slipped away from the thatched hut.

Just kidding, he was actually afraid that Brother Hua would kindly decline and give him the thatched hut.

Looking at it this way, it's still most comfortable to live in my own ghostly den. Humming a song, I returned to the ghostly dormitory. As soon as I entered, a cloud of smoke filled the air. I didn't need to guess to know that my ghostly grandson Zhaocai was soaking in the hot spring again, making a mess everywhere!

"Get out of the way, make room for me!"

"By the way, is Brainy the Master still around? He must have just gone to the hot springs!"

After seeing off the various mysterious figures, Hua Ge and Yao Mengyu exchanged a glance and sat down on the rattan chairs next to each other with a sense of relief, feeling as if they had survived a calamity.

"These are all powered and still work!"

"There's hot water!"

It's like a dream!

...

I had a good night's sleep.

The next day, Hua Ge and Yao Mengyu got up early and went to the cabin to await instructions, only to find that no one, including Master Gui, was awake. Finally, Hua Ge mustered up his courage and knocked on the door of the ghost's dormitory, which was overheard by the gourmet who had just come out of the room to find food.

"So early? You must be tired."

"...It's not hard work." Hua Ge shook his head blankly, thinking to himself, what hard work could he possibly have? He just got up and sat in the small house waiting for instructions, without even having to worry about attacks from strange creatures.

After all, no foolish monster would attack a small house with several star-level monsters. What seems like the most dangerous place is actually the safest place.

"Have you eaten yet? Where's the girl with glasses? The cafeteria's just opened, let's call her over." The food critic waved to Hua Ge, gesturing for them to enter the strange creature dormitory. Hua Ge couldn't refuse, after all, he had been waiting all morning, and even though he had eaten a lot last night, he was indeed quite hungry.

The moment the two stepped into the dormitory of the several strange masters, their worldviews were once again violently shaken.

This, this...

Good heavens! The modern decor, the projection screen that's several stories high, the luxurious cafeteria, the opulent suites, and even the enormous computer for playing games—there's even a sign on the door that says "Realistic Escape Room."

All I can say is that it's dazzling and overwhelming. Comparing people is infuriating, and comparing people is even more infuriating!

Hua Ge then understood why the Gourmet and the other ghosts had looked like that last night, almost as if they were fleeing their little thatched hut. So that's why.

But even if he knew about this, so what? Brother Hua knew his own worth. Unlike Yao Mengyu, who had awakened her special abilities, he had only managed to get to where he was today thanks to his life experience of living for over thirty years. Now that someone was willing to take him in and give him a place to live, that was already the greatest blessing.

Moreover, those strange beings are all incredibly powerful and terrifying, far surpassing him.

Noticing the expressions on their faces, the gourmet, while shoveling rice into his belly button mouth with a spoon as big as his arm, inwardly praised his boss's wisdom, saying that these two were indeed trustworthy.

After finishing their meal, Zhao Cai, who was slow to wake up, dragged the two of them to play cards. With his multiple hands, Zhao Cai was clearly at an advantage and quickly wiped out Hua Ge and Yao Mengyu.

It wasn't until the afternoon that Su Luo came out of her room, rubbing her head. She saw the two people playing with Zhao Cai, but didn't say much. She just waited for Xiao Yi to bring her a cup of warm milk.

On the other hand, Brother Hua was quite frightened. He raised his hand, pushed the cards away, stood up, and stepped back, looking like he wanted to stay away from the card table.

"Why are you in such a hurry? I'm not going to eat you." Su Luo picked up the sandwich the gourmet had brought out, took a bite, and said calmly.

“There’s plenty of free time in the apocalypse, so playing cards isn’t a bad idea.” Su Luo said, taking another mango pomelo sago cream puff. After taking a bite, she felt something was off and turned to Xiao Yi, instructing, “Take this and add some more cream.”

Taking advantage of this moment, Su Luo turned her head and focused her gaze on the two of them.

Do you know how to farm?

"ah?"

"Farming?"

Yao Mengyu was taken aback, and Hua Ge asked in return.

This was an unexpected question. Hua Ge originally thought that Su Luo wanted them to go to the surrounding zero-yuan shopping area or to go to a very dangerous and strange dungeon. Who knew that he was asking them if they knew how to farm!

“I watched my dad plant it before,” Hua Ge honestly confessed. “But I also helped out before, so I vaguely remember some things and know a little about how to use the machines.”

As for Yao Mengyu, she has absolutely no experience with farming, but she said she is willing to learn.

"In this day and age, water and seeds are in short supply," Brother Hua said with some concern. "And who knows if other people or strange creatures might come to sabotage us!"

"Don't worry about that last point. As for seeds, I have them here—potatoes, tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and so on. As for water," Su Luo said, glancing at Yao Mengyu, "Isn't there someone standing right next to you?"

Hearing this, Yao Mengyu, who was initially a little embarrassed because she didn't know anything, suddenly perked up and nodded confidently.

Although she can't control the water source on a large scale right now, she can still help by taking it slowly and coming back multiple times.

Seeing that neither of them had any objections, Su Luo continued.

"I have the things, but I'm not very familiar with them. As for what kind of celestial seeds or other things, I'll have to rely on your help."

Su Luo spoke politely, but Hua Ge dared not be presumptuous. His eyes lit up when he heard that Su Luo had so many seeds.

If this could really be grown, it would be a blessing in the end times. Maybe we could really become self-sufficient then, since we can't always be begging for food from Sister Su!

They say it includes food and lodging, but that's only on the premise that you can use it yourself.

Brother Hua is a sensible man. Although he hasn't had much formal education, he's very insightful.

Just as Hua Ge was envisioning the future and even starting to take notes, there were two beeps outside the small house. A bus slowly pulled up in front of the house, the doors opened, and two figures stepped off one after the other.
