Lu Sheng didn't say anything, but took out a bag of tuna-flavored cat treats from his spatial storage.

As soon as the packaging was torn open, Zhuangzhuang's incessant chatter immediately fell silent, and his big, round eyes practically glued to the cat treat.

"I'll give you the whole bag, is that enough to shut you up?" Lu Sheng shook the small bag in his hand, which was emitting the aroma of meat.

The struggle in Zhuangzhuang's eyes vanished in an instant, and he snatched the cat treat in his mouth and ran off happily.

I'm sorry, Teacher Xu.

Only when their appetite is satisfied can kittens have spiritual pursuits. Cat treats are just too tempting; they can't resist, whimpering.

I'll definitely speak up for you again next time!

After getting rid of the annoying, chattering kitten, Lu Sheng submerged his body in the warm water and let his consciousness enter the entertainment room within the space.

The entertainment room provided by the system has advanced technology; the computers inside can connect to the internet.

In the real world, the servers of major websites have long been bricked up, but the computers in the space entertainment room are like a parallel world, where you can still see the data and videos saved on major websites before the apocalypse.

She searched on Bilibili using the keywords provided by Zhuangzhuang and found quite a few tutorials on how to make wooden bracelets by hand.

Lu Sheng watched the ten-minute instructional video at double speed.

This thing looks simple, but in practice the steps are complicated and the whole process has to be done by hand, leaving no room for shortcuts.

From cutting the wood to making the basic shape of the bracelet, it requires several sheets of sandpaper with different grits and a whetstone to polish it step by step. The whole process takes at least a few days.

Lu Sheng subconsciously stroked the warm and smooth bracelet, and Xu Yi's slender fingers with distinct joints appeared in his mind's eye.

Even before the apocalypse, in an era where everything was about efficiency, few people were willing to spend days making gifts by hand. Let alone now, in this apocalyptic world where we live for the moment.

She had never received a handmade gift before, so it would be a lie to say she wasn't touched.

Even someone as simple-minded as her finally belatedly sensed that something was amiss.

Teacher Xu, could it be that you like her?

Lu Sheng was startled by the sudden thought that popped into her head and hurriedly sat up straight in the bathtub.

Stop this dangerous thinking!

That's Teacher Xu! The most solid foundation of the team! How could she make such assumptions about Teacher Xu!

Lu Sheng's mind was in complete chaos, so he simply chose to bury his head in the sand and put the matter aside for the time being.

...

After entering the eternal night, Lu Sheng's sleep time was passively compressed to 6 hours.

She was automatically woken up by her biological clock at 7:00 a.m.

After getting up, Lu Sheng quickly washed up and then went alone to patrol the area near the boundary of the safe zone.

The vending machines on the wall were still working diligently, and as usual, long lines of people waiting to shop were crowded outside the safe zone.

After each transaction, Lu Sheng's points in the system are updated in real time. Watching the points increase little by little gives people a genuine sense of accomplishment.

Lu Sheng now fully understands why rich people don't just lie down and do nothing. No one thinks they have too much money. If you have 100 million, you'll want to earn 1 billion. Human desires are endless.

[Reminder, reminder!]

The livestock population at the base is severely overcrowded. At the current rate of reproduction in the sheds, the base's warehouses will reach maximum capacity in two days.

[The planting area is experiencing overgrowth, and the weather will be favorable in the next few days, potentially leading to an explosive harvest. Hosts are advised to prepare for harvesting in advance.]

[The base's production index has been detected to meet the target. The base apartment module can be unlocked. The host's personal stats have reached the qualification to activate the apartment butler. Do you wish to immediately spend 5000 crystal cores to activate the apartment module and enable the smart butler?]

Lu Sheng bought a cone ice cream from the supermarket and listened patiently to the system's rambling while eating it.

This system is designed to push her forward like a donkey on a millstone, constantly urging her to develop her base, much like whipping her along the way.

Looking at the obese livestock practically overflowing from the touchpad, and then at the projected profits from opening the apartment, she nodded without hesitation, "Pay immediately!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Sheng's system core balance immediately decreased by 5000.

An additional apartment module has also been added to the system.

After deliberating for a while, Lu Sheng chose to expand the security zone by paying for the crystal core within the system, and at the same time, he set aside a separate area to place the apartment module there.

Expansion, division, and resettlement all cost money; there's no such thing as a free lunch in this world!

After setting up all the modules in the preview image within the system, Lu Sheng clicked "Apply Now" on the page.

The moment the cursor is pressed, skyscrapers instantly rise from the ground within the newly added safe zone.

A high-tech, modern apartment building suddenly appeared on an empty lot.

The apartment's exterior walls are made of a black alloy material never seen on the market before, which can withstand extreme cold and heat and other natural disasters, while also providing some radiation protection.

As the boss, Lu Sheng was the first to enter the apartment for inspection, and he was immediately impressed by the apartment's completeness upon entering.

The apartment building has 12 floors and a total of 200 rooms, each equipped with a private bathroom and shower system, and hot water is available 24 hours a day.

There are three types of rooms to choose from: small apartments suitable for one person, one-bedroom apartments suitable for two people, and suites suitable for families, which can meet the accommodation needs of most people.

Each floor of the apartment building has vending machines and a tea room, offering 24-hour service. There's also a dedicated fast-food machine on the first floor, providing simple boxed meals suitable for guests on a budget or those who don't want to cook.
