Yuto Saito looked at the girls, but didn't make a choice. He returned to his room alone on the second floor. Standing by the window, he thought, "It will be the fifth day of the apocalypse soon."
In his previous life, a major event occurred at noon on the seventh day of the apocalypse, causing immense destruction in the Dragon Kingdom. High-level monsters appeared everywhere, and most cities lost power and internet access, causing widespread chaos. According to the system's description, his time travel had a three-hour delay, meaning this catastrophe would happen three hours earlier in this life—at nine in the morning on the seventh day.
Yuto Saito knew that when this happened, he would gain a lot of experience and spar, and also collect materials from many high-level monsters. After his trade with Officer Song Yi tomorrow, he could upgrade the Floating Island again, and he was curious to see what options would be available.
A Discussion and a Confession
Meanwhile, on the first floor of the villa, the girls were still in the living room, talking.
Yun Yun looked at Ni Shuang, then at Natto and Mifen.
Ni Shuang said to Natto, "Go on, Natto, don't be a coward."
Natto shook her head. "No, let Xianxian go. She made the Awakening Pills for everyone today. She deserves the credit!"
Ruoruo nodded. "That makes sense. We all have dual talents now, and Xianxian's contribution was the biggest."
Natto gave Mifen a thumbs-up. "What a great person!"
Hu Tuan'er looked at Mifen and said, "Xianxian, you made both the strengthening potions and the Awakening Pills today. You've made a huge contribution to the team. You should go."
Mifen shook her head modestly. "That's just what I should do. You should go."
Mina said, "If you're going to be so humble, I'll go."
Hearing this, Mifen quickly said, "I'll go then." She walked towards the stairs, her hips swaying gracefully.
Mina smiled. "She's reserved until you provoke her."
Juzi said to Mina, "You're so good at this."
Ye Chuchu, who was listening to their conversation, asked Yuqi, "Sister Yuqi, is this about being part of the team or being the captain's girlfriend?"
Yuqi replied, "Neither. The captain will never force you to do anything you don't want to. Didn't you see him go upstairs alone? He would never force us."
Ye Chuchu's face lit up. "The captain is so great! I think it's very smart of him to let us all choose for ourselves."
Chen Xinyu said softly, "This way, no one can accuse him of being biased. But in the captain's heart, Yun Yun holds the most weight. No one can replace her."
Ye Chuchu: "I can see that the captain really likes Sister Yun."
Meanwhile, Mifen arrived at room 202 on the second floor. The door was open, so she walked in and closed it behind her. She approached Yuto Saito and whispered, "Brother Su."
Yuto Saito looked at her. "Sit down."
Mifen sat next to him and asked, "Brother Su, did you guess I would come?"
He smiled. "Of course. I thought it would be either you or Natto."
Mifen was happy. "So, Brother Su, you like me?"
Yuto Saito put his arm around her slender waist. "Did you know you're especially beautiful when you're focused on refining medicine?"
Mifen's face turned red. She was flustered. "Thank you. You're so handsome every time you kill monsters!"
Yuto Saito stared into her eyes. "Xianxian, are you attracted to me?"
Mifen's cheeks were flushed, and she nodded slightly. "Yes. Every time I see you, I feel so happy and completely captivated."
Yuto Saito smiled. "You really know what to say." With his guidance, Mifen was soon completely mesmerized.
New Recruits and a Growing Floating Island
Back in the living room, the other girls continued to chat.
Ni Shuang said to Yun Yun, "Sister, I think we still have too few residents on the Floating Island. At our current numbers, we won't have enough people to expand the greenhouses further."
Yun Yun suggested, "Next time we go to fight monsters, if we find suitable survivors, we can consider bringing some to the island. But first, they'll have to go through Mina's charm interrogation."
Mina nodded. "Yes. I'll use my Charm ability to interrogate them. If they aren't going to betray us, we'll bring them in."
Ruoruo: "If you ask me, we should just call all our old classmates."
Ni Shuang: "Ruoruo, not everyone wants to come here, even though it's a good environment. When they hear they have to help with farming, they'll weigh their options."
Natto: "Exactly. People have to bow their heads to authority. Not everyone is willing to come here to farm for us."
Chen Xinyu: "My friend Yang Xiaozi, for example. I invited her twice, but she refused. Maybe she has a better place to be."
Yuqi: "I can understand why some people don't want to come. They might think we're just using them as tools."
Yun Yun: "We shouldn't force them. When they face high-level monsters and can't protect themselves, they'll realize we were saving them."
Nako: "My friends are very easy to persuade. As soon as they heard it was an invitation from the God of War team, and that we would provide food, shelter, and a beautiful environment, they agreed without hesitation."
Yun Yun: "Everyone has their own ambitions. Some people don't want to be dependent on others, and I can understand that."
Nako: "Yes, for example, Xian, the captain invited him to the island, but he refused."
Ni Shuang: "When he's chased by high-level monsters in the future, I'm afraid he'll regret it."
Nako: "I can tell he already regrets it, but he has a strong will and is unwilling to submit to others."
Yun Yun: "When you have the ability, it's not wrong to form your own group. But when you don't have the ability, forcing a group to form can easily get your teammates killed. They may be safe now, but that doesn't mean they'll be safe forever."
Ni Shuang: "Yes."
Yun Yun: "It's getting late. I'm going to get some rest. Everyone, good night."
Everyone said "good night" to each other and went to their rooms to rest.
Juzi returned to her room and immediately used her Hearing talent. Her favorite show had just begun.
