As darkness fell, Ning Qing drove off the highway and onto a small road, where the trees on both sides were already withered.

This is a villa area, where rows of exquisite individual villas stand out starkly against the backdrop of withered trees.

Ning Qing stopped the car and told Hua Lan not to get out. After hesitating for a moment, she took out a beautifully crafted small dagger with various gemstones inlaid on its sheath from her spatial storage and handed it to Hua Lan.

He said, "Take it, for self-defense."

Hua Lan reached out and took it, looking at the various gems on the sheath, her suspicions were confirmed.

This person approached me not for my pearls.

Although the pearls here are precious, they are not worth him protecting to this extent.

Moreover, he hasn't mentioned a single pearl in all these days.

Instead, it's all about teasing you, more like...

But, is it really possible for two males, especially two males from different species, to be together?

Ning Qing, holding Xiao Hei, opened the car door and stepped out, unleashing a barrage of attacks on the few remaining zombies outside.

Killing zombies with this longsword isn't as satisfying as using a knife.

The sword is relatively thin and light, making it elegant and beautiful to wield. It's mainly for thrusting, not for cutting. But none of this is a problem for Ning Qing. As long as he's fast enough, he can cut a watermelon with a piece of paper.

Moreover, it was a longsword that could cut through iron like mud.

The knife is thick and heavy, and can be used for chopping, splitting, and slicing, making it versatile.

A single slash can weigh a thousand pounds; cutting a cow in half is an easy task.

After clearing away all the zombies wandering around the area, Ning Qing stopped in front of one of the villas with its gate tightly closed.

He tentatively knocked on the door a few times.

As expected, there was not a sound in the pitch-black room.

Ning Qing focused her attention and examined the room, but found no signs of life.

He raised his foot, just as he was about to kick the door open.

The system spoke up: Host, would you like to buy a master key?

Ning Qing was stunned for a few seconds. What? The system shop sells universal keys?

System: Yes, host.

Ning Qing: Is it really omnipotent?

System: It can handle most locks without any problem.

Ning Qing: What if it's something special?

The system roared inwardly, "Can't we just do business properly anymore?"

System: It can open any lock that can be opened with a key.

Ning Qing: That really is an essential tool for home robbery.

How many points are awarded per round?

System: Not much, just 200 points.

Ning Qing: How many points do I have left?

System: You have 320 points remaining.

Ning Qing: Forget it then, no thanks.

After saying that, he kicked the door, smashing it into pieces.

The system saw this scene in the space and felt a terrible toothache.

System: Host, why are you keeping those points if you're not going to buy a key?

Ning Qing: Save it to buy your miracle water for my little fish.

Ning Qing took out the flashlight she got from the small supermarket from her spatial storage, turned it on, and shone a beam of light into the room.

He stepped inside and checked all the floors.

The villa was fully equipped with all kinds of household appliances and daily necessities, and was very clean and tidy, with everything being new.

It seems the owner doesn't live here often; perhaps this villa is just used for vacations.

Very satisfied, he turned around, walked to the car, opened the door, and carried Hua Lan out of the car.

He said, "We can sleep in the bed tonight."

Upon hearing this, Hua Lan's fair face flushed slightly.

Ning Qing was very pleased to see this.

He silently calculated the chances of the two of them successfully sharing a bed tonight.
