The news coming from Qingfeng Haohu made Li Ming feel instinctively that the era of gathering places was about to arrive.
After leaving the villa, he went out and found Zhou Cheng, who had unloaded the power generation equipnt and various confiscated materials, and asked the won in the villa area to transport part of these materials to his villa to replenish consumption.
The rest were transported to villa "Left Seven" for Yang Ruo and the maids to manage. As for the power generation equipnt, it was left on the roadside untouched by anyone.
Chen Qiang wanted to co over and help watch, but Li Ming told him not to worry, and to focus on repairing his watchtower. Then he set off again with Zhou Cheng and an additional nineteen n in four heavy trucks and one light truck.
Following the route to Qingfeng Haohu villa area, they arrived smoothly before the main road, then began to move supplies from shop to shop.
First, there were high-energy foods, then valuable items, followed by crucial items hard to produce, and finally, food and daily necessities.
Truck after truck was loaded, and the capacity of the four heavy trucks plus one light truck nearly depleted the supplies on two streets, which were then all transported back to the villa under Li Ming’s watch.
"Buzz~"
The convoy re-entered the villa area; the sun was already setting. Li Ming directly took the convoy to villa "Left Seven", instructing them to store the supplies in villas "Left Seven" and "Right Six".
Eventually, the two villas were packed full, marking the complete storage of the supplies collected this ti.
"Fetch so more water at my place and let the brothers wash up. After dinner, everyone should get a good night’s sleep. Tomorrow, we’ll set up the power generation equipnt, and after that, we won’t lack electricity."
After finishing the work, Li Ming called Zhou Cheng over and gave instructions. Zhou Cheng nodded in agreent, and then called twenty people to line up with large barrels in Li Ming’s villa’s courtyard to fetch water.
Li Ming’s villa courtyard also had a tap with flowing groundwater, which they usually used for drinking and washing. Pipes lined up outside the courtyard, all capable of conveniently fetching water.
After fetching water, they carried it back for personal use. Water for cooking was taken in turns, which was efficient and orderly.
It didn’t take long for the twenty people to finish fetching water. Others ca to fetch water for cooking. Liu Li’s husband also ca to fetch a bucket of water. Yang Ruo and her seven maids fetched a bucket of water each, which they carried back with a small cart that Li Ming had purposely prepared for them.
In the blink of an eye, it was peaceful and quiet. Just as Li Ming was thinking about taking a shower to rinse off the sweat, he noticed Xu Yunyun, followed by Xu Xiu, coming down from the upstairs. They were both dressed in plaid skirts and white tops.
"Husband, could I take Yunyun with you for a walk later?"
Xu Xiu and Xu Yunyun approached Li Ming and she asked.
"Of course, but I need to take a shower first."
Li Ming smiled. Such things didn’t bother him at all. After indicating the sweat on his body with a gesture, and taking a good look at Xu Yunyun, he walked back into the villa under their watchful gaze.
Feeling uncomfortable under Li Ming’s scrutiny, Xu Yunyun stood, shuffling her feet in place before easing up a bit. She looked around at the surroundings, and waited with her sister on the first floor.
She and her sister woke up together, got up, tidied up, and took a bath. Hearing about the bustle outside, they peered through the second-floor window to see a group of people lining up to fetch water.
After hearing Li Ming recount the story of the seven won, she was even more curious to explore this place and this man. So, she actively suggested going out to take a look. However, she was too shy to voice this request, so she tugged at her cousin to co with her.
But thinking about the man’s gaze, Xu Yunyun couldn’t help but snuggle closer to her sister, expecting to inevitably beco an indispensable part of this man’s life.
Nevertheless, it wasn’t sothing hard to accept~
As Xu Yunyun was mulling over these thoughts, Li Ming had already returned to his bedroom. On entering, he saw Zhang Yuan and Chen Li limping out of the bathroom freshly bathed. He imdiately gave them a smooch each, then undressed to take a shower.
"Ah, this stinky man, he always forgets to get new clothes when he takes a shower."
Zhang Yuan noticed him heading straight for the bathroom and couldn’t help but pout. Then with a furrowed brow, she stood up with Chen Li, picked out a clean set of clothes for Li Ming and laid it out, along with a bath towel.
Soon after, Li Ming ca out from the shower. Zhang Yuan and Chen Li both stood up to towel off the droplets of water from his body and handed him his clothes to put on.
"Why are you so anxious? I am falling apart already."
Zhang Yuan lowered her head while helping Li Ming into his clothes, and couldn’t help but complain.
"Don’t worry, baby, you won’t need to suffer like this in the future."
Seeing Zhang Yuan’s pitiful appearance, Li Ming couldn’t help but hug her, sit her on the edge of the bed, and ask Chen Li to bring over his waist bag, which he placed next to him, with Chen Li seated on his other side.
"Today, I have a big surprise for you."
Li Ming looked at the won in his arms, smiling as he spoke. He then pulled out two bean-sized flawless transparent crystals from the bag under their curious gaze.
"Honey, what’s this?"
Zhang Yuan nestled in Li Ming’s arms, looking at this transparent object curiously.
After being purified by the system, this thing lost the tantalizing allure that gnaws at one’s primal instincts. It seed omnipresent, so much so that she’d stood next to it for half a day without noticing.
Chen Li also had a look of surprise on her face, watching intently at the two objects in Li Ming’s hand.
"You can call it a Superpower Crystal."
Li Ming smiled. The won’s expressions imdiately widened: "Superpower Crystal?"
"Yes, sothing I acquired through special ans. Each of you will receive one. Upon usage, you’ll acquire superpowers. One enhances physical prowess, the other, speed. At first, the enhancents may be slight but will gradually increase with training, easily improving your overall physical conditioning."
At Li Ming’s words, both won’s mouths dropped wide open in an O-shape. Zhang Yuan, in particular, eagerly asked, "Really, honey? Such a thing exists in this world?"
"You will know once you try it. One enhances overall physical capability, while the other improves only speed."
Li Ming picked up a crystal inscribed with the words ’Physical Enhancent’. With a twinkle in his eyes, he turned to Chen Li while playfully pinching Zhang Yuan’s thigh, "Chen Li, Zhang Yuan has been with the longest and is the person I know best. She’s also your elder sister. I thought she should have the better of the two crystals. You don’t mind, do you?"
"Not at all. Sister Zhang Yuan belongs to you entirely now. It’s only right that she gets such a superpower. Plus, there’s one for too. Why would I oppose it?"
Chen Li quickly interjected, understanding the rationale.
"Good thing you don’t mind. I wouldn’t want you to hold a grudge. We’re all family here. What’s good for one is good for all."
Li Ming kissed her gently, to which Chen Li obediently nodded.
Only then did Li Ming turn to Zhang Yuan nestled in his arms. Seeing her eyes well up with adoration, he playfully held the crystal to her eyes, "What’s this? Dissatisfied with the gift your husband is giving?"
With that, he pressed the crystal against her skin. Almost instantly, Zhang Yuan felt an imnse power surge through her. Her skin beca more radiant and translucent, and she felt invigorated.
"Honey~"
Flooded with this unique sensation, Zhang Yuan pushed Li Ming onto the bed, hugging him and planting a passionate kiss, only pulling away after what seed like an eternity.
"You brought ho a young girl, and I’ve always been worried that you would dote on her and forget about . But now, I don’t have to worry anymore. I love you, and I am forever yours."
"Completely yours."
Li Ming motioned Chen Li to co over, helping her use the speed enhancent crystal even before Zhang Yuan. Chen Li instantly felt a surge of energy coursing through her body, making her feel incredibly light. She responded by gratefully squatting down.
... ... ...
[Technique Mastery 50]
Overwheld by the Superpower Crystals, Zhang Yuan and Chen Li’s feelings of love reached their peak. With these deep-seated emotions, their practice of the technique, sure enough, brought about miraculous effects!
The proficiency increased by 50 for the second ti!
... ... ...
Downstairs, Xu Yunyun waited for Li Ming to finish his bath. But after a while, he still didn’t co down.
She waited and waited. After forty minutes, the man finally ca down. Instinctively, she rose to her feet, only to hide back behind her sister, realizing she might have appeared too eager.
"Honey, Yunyun has been waiting for you for so long. Weren’t you supposed to take us out? Why did you co down so late?"
Xu Xiu chuckled at Xu Yunyun’s movents and teased her. Xu Yunyun shot her a glare, exasperated at how her sister could say such things openly.
"I was discussing matters with Sister Zhang Yuan and Sister Chen Li. We’ve just finished."
Li Ming chuckled. Although the discussion was taxing, they were all novices at mastering this technique, and the results were even better than expected. Add to that the awakening of the superpower - by dinner ti, they should be refreshed enough to eat.
"Let’s forget about these matters for now. My little darling wants to go out and take a look around, so let’s do just that."
Li Ming offered a brief explanation. Seeing Xu Yunyun hiding behind Xu Xiu, he smiled. Xu Yunyun went red in the face at such a straightforward term of endearnt. Before she knew it, Li Ming had swept her into his arms and carried her.
Xu Xiu grinned at the sight, wrapping an arm around Li Ming’s and following him out of the villa.
"Um, Brother Ming, I, I’m okay now. I can walk by myself."
The freshly bathed girl slled delightful. Li Ming carried her in his arms, in the most intimate fashion possible. Xu Yunyun’s face turned as red as a beet, barely processing the situation. Before she knew it, she found herself in his arms, carried like a baby. She couldn’t help but voice out her thoughts.
