Some time later, Rover woke up. His body felt a little tired, but his mind was incredibly relaxed.
Nanoe and Selina had already left, yet their faint scent still lingered on the bed.
Back then, he'd been so wild that even Nanoe and Selina had ended up begging him to spare them.
He couldn't really blame himself. After Nanoe and Selina's Physique points rose, their bodies gradually became more flawless, more beautiful, their skin softer, and even their natural scent far more alluring.
It made him want to sink into that softness and desire with them forever. If Nanoe and Selina hadn't been so exhausted they could barely move, he probably would've kept going.
Rover opened the notification panel to check the messages he hadn't looked at yet.
[You slept with Nanoe, Omni Points + 650.]
[You slept with Selina, Omni Points + 635.]
[You slept 8 hours on the bed, Omni Points + 110.]
[The high-grade room rewarded you with Omni Points + 300.]
[Current total Omni Points: 1,865.]
Seeing how many Omni Points Nanoe and Selina provided, Rover was shocked. After checking again, he realized that since both of them had advanced to Level 1 [Tenants], the Omni Points they could provide had increased by a lot.
At that moment, Rover decided to upgrade the bed. After all, the bed was something that could help him gain quite a lot of Omni Points.
[Ding! To upgrade the bed, 400 Omni Points are required. Do you agree?]
"Agree!"
[Ding! Payment successful. Remaining: 1,465 Omni Points.]
....
[Luxury Bed]
Level: 02
Durability: Permanent
Comfort: 50% (After completing sleep, you can receive an additional 50 Omni Points and 10% of the total Omni Points you collect from [Tenants].)
Effect: Gain 15 Omni Points per hour of sleep on the bed (Max 8 hours).

Upgrade Requirement: 1,000 Omni Points.𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶
....
The bed trembled slightly, then went quiet. It also became wider, reaching a size of 3 x 3 meters. Even if four people lay on it together, there would still be plenty of space.
"10% of the total Omni Points I collect from [Tenants]... Looks like upgrading the bed was the right call," Rover muttered.
Of course, he had no intention of continuing to upgrade the bed. He still had many other things that needed upgrading.
Although the Omni Points Nanoe and Selina provided were already a lot, at the same time, if he wanted to keep upgrading other things to higher levels, he would need even more Omni Points.
Rover thought to himself, "System, I want to upgrade the door."
[Ding! To upgrade the door, 250 Omni Points are required. You will have the following upgrade paths:
Trap Door: Durability and defense increase slightly, but when an opponent attacks the door, they will be stunned for 1 second. Each target can only be stunned once. Thorn Door: Durability and defense increase slightly, but when an opponent attacks the door, they will take 10% reflected damage. Metal Door: Durability and defense increase greatly, with no special effects.
You may choose 1 of the 3 options above to upgrade.]
Rover thought for a while and decided to postpone upgrading the door for now. Right now, he didn't clearly understand what the next round would be. He wanted to wait until the next notification, then make a more accurate choice.
He let out a sigh, then decided to upgrade his Cultivation Method. After all, there were still four days until Round 2 began, and he had plenty of time to accumulate more Omni Points.
But when he saw how many Omni Points were required, he sighed again and decided not to upgrade for the time being.
At that moment, the door suddenly opened. Nanoe came in carrying a bowl of hot soup, her face relaxed, happy, and gentle.
Although her smile wasn't any different from before, Rover could sense that her mood seemed far more at ease than earlier, no longer heavy or gloomy.
She gently handed the bowl of soup to Rover and said with a smile, "Luckily we have a kitchen now, so we can cook fresh food again. Eating too much processed food isn't good anyway."
Rover nodded lightly, took the bowl, and ate slowly. At this moment, he could truly feel just how precious it was to have hot food to eat.
Nanoe gently sat on the bed, close beside him, watching him, her face carrying warmth and tenderness.
Rover also felt her gaze, but he was already used to it. Not only did it not make him uncomfortable, he actually found himself enjoying it a little.
"Rover... thank you." Nanoe said softly.
Rover knew exactly what she meant. He smiled and said, "Don't thank me. You're my woman, after all. I definitely won't abandon you, or Selina."
Nanoe smiled as well, then told Rover everything Dark Lord had said.
After listening, Rover rubbed his chin and said softly, "Looks like we can't just stay in the room forever. If we want to survive in this world, it's not enough to only upgrade the room. We also have to go outside and seek Fortuitous Encounters so we can become stronger."
Nanoe nodded. "That's right. That's why, Rover, Selina and I want to participate in the mission on that invitation card."
Rover nodded too. He knew... relying on himself alone, he could never protect them forever. And he also knew that with Nanoe and Selina's personalities, they would never be willing to sit still and let him protect them for life.
Even though he was worried about them, this world was simply like that. If they didn't take risks, then later on, Nanoe and Selina would only become useless vases.
Rover nodded and said, "I understand. There are still 7 days until that day. In the meantime, we'll do our best to raise our strength. When the time comes, the success rate will be higher."
Hearing that, Nanoe smiled and nodded.
"We should also prepare a bit. New areas will be unlocked, and we should go take a look at those areas."
Nanoe nodded, then went out and left him to rest.
Rover rested for a while, then began cultivating.
After 8 hours, Rover, Nanoe, and Selina's attribute points increased a little.
[Rover: Physique 74 | Spirit 109]
[Nanoe: Physique 17 (+15) | Spirit 42 (+20)]
[Selina: Physique 42 (+40) | Spirit 17 (+15)]
For now, Rover did not wear the combat suit because he didn't want to rely on it too much. Besides, even without wearing it, his attributes were still higher than Nanoe and Selina's.
Bathing together with Nanoe and Selina for a bit, of course, during the bath, a fire flared up violently.
The three of them fought together in the large bathtub. More than 3 hours later, the battle ended. They got dressed, lay on the bed to rest, and waited for the new area to open.
....
In Room 2703, Leng Yan walked out of the bedroom, wearing a thin, highly provocative nightgown.
Seeing Chisaki sitting on the sofa chair, operating the System, she smiled and said, "Are you talking to the two girls in Rover's room?"
Chisaki was startled, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and hurriedly said, "No, no. I... I'm just talking to you. Ah, no... I mean..."
Seeing Chisaki's expression, Leng Yan found her far too adorable and walked closer. Leng Yan's long, slender index finger lifted Chisaki's chin, bringing their eyes level with each other.
"Little girl, do you think you can hide everything from my eyes?"
Chisaki blushed, shuddered, pressed her lips together, and didn't dare answer.
"Hahaha..." Leng Yan laughed, her smile carrying a hint of mystery. "Don't worry. If you want to go to Rover's room, just tell me. I won't stop you."
Chisaki shook her head lightly. "No, I... I don't want to go there. He already has two women in that room. I... I don't want to become his toy."
Leng Yan laughed and shook her head, saying indifferently, "Little girl, do you think you can stay here forever?"
Chisaki jolted and hurriedly said, "Sister Leng Yan, I... is there anything I can do to help you? I... I want to stay by your side. I... I don't want to become a man's toy."
Leng Yan released Chisaki's face and said with a smile, "Chisaki, desire must be proportional to your ability. Tell me... what do you have that makes me want to keep you by my side, other than consuming food and making me protect you?"
Chisaki opened her mouth, wanting to say something, but she realized she didn't know what to say. That's right. Why would Leng Yan need her when she was nothing but useless.
"Then..." Chisaki asked with difficulty, "Why? Why did you keep me by your side?"
Leng Yan reached out her hand again, but this time, instead of lifting Chisaki's chin gently like before, she grabbed her by the throat.
"Ack! Leng Yan, you..." Chisaki felt that Leng Yan's strength was not weak. On the contrary, she squeezed Chisaki's neck tightly. The pain made her terrified to the extreme.
Leng Yan wore a cruel, icy smile, along with a voice that was slightly mad. "I kept you because I thought I could use you to trade for a few useful things, like raising a chicken. If you can't lay eggs, what am I keeping you for?"
