A New Home

At first, it was just normal sentimental talk, but as he spoke, golden light gradually appeared in Cangxuan's eyes, and then he suddenly pounced on Hua.

"Hua! Don't say anything more! Let's go claim some land! A huge piece of land!"

"I knew Cangxuan's topic would veer off-topic like this." Liu Bai said with an expression of no surprise. "Wake up, whose land can be preserved for four or five thousand years?"

Although Cangxuan looks like a reliable guy with no connections, he's actually only reliable in appearance...

"Yeah, that's completely unrealistic. Sister, you might as well say you want to be an emperor or something." Danzhu was also speechless. She didn't really understand why her sister was so greedy. "Being a money-grubber is just lowering the prestige of us scientists."

After Danzhu finished speaking, everyone else silently turned their attention to Danzhu.

When did you, you shut-in, become qualified to say such things?

Okay, although Danzhu is a typical office worker and a complete shut-in.

"Danzhu," Cangxuan said softly, "From now on, we won't have comics to read, games to play, delicious junk food to eat, and figurines..."

"Waaaaah! Stop describing such a dark future!" Danzhu cried, burying her face in her hands.

"So, these two are actually the same, right?" Liu Bai looked at the two sisters who were crying their eyes out, and he and Hua sighed in unison.

"The only good thing is that I won't be bored in the future?" President Hua felt that instead of relying on these two to help him, he might as well put in some effort to take care of them himself... These two are the epitome of unreliability.

But the atmosphere did liven things up. No matter how much these two clowns cried, Hua felt that he had some hope for the future.

"No way! I've made up my mind! I'm going to dismantle the Stasis Pod and turn it into a game console!" Danzhu, having finished crying, revealed a determined expression.

"I want to be the emperor! I'll enclose all the land! Mountains of gold and silver! Pools of wine and forests of meat!" Cangxuan also revealed a spirited expression.

Then Liu Bai slapped each of them on the back of the head.

"Can you two just shut up for a second?"

"No!" *2

"Ahem! Just kidding, let's talk about the future first!" Danzhu decisively backed down after seeing Liu Bai about to slap them on the back of the head again. "According to the rules of the survival game, how about we build our home on the East China Sea coast? There's a primeval forest on one side and the sea on the other. The beach has enough sand to develop some basic technology, and we won't have to worry about food or water."

"But isn't your mission to ignite the spark of this civilization?"

Liu Bai's expression was incomprehensible. "You really think this is a survival game? You can even say things like 'technological advancement'?"

"How can we lead civilization when we can't even feed ourselves?" Danzhu said confidently. "Anyway, I reckon that human civilization is only at the Stone Age, and the cultural level is probably still dominated by nature or animal worship. What's wrong with taking a year or two off? Let's eat and drink our fill first, understand the situation, and then formulate a strategy!"

"That's a convincing enough explanation—but if you keep using games as an example, you'll regret it." Liu Bai nodded in satisfaction.

"Hehe... isn't this easy to understand?" Danzhu scratched his head. "Tell me, do you understand or not?"

"..."

Indeed, I'm guessing that among these people, I'm the only one who can seamlessly understand Danzhu's various strange game terms.

This is really not something to be happy about.

"Speaking of which Liu Bai, aren't you lonely?" Danzhu asked with some curiosity.

"Lonely? It's nothing, it's not like we'll never see each other again." Liu Bai thought for a moment and answered honestly.

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. What I meant was that you'll be living with the three of us from now on. Won't you be lonely without big breasts? I remember you're a big-breasted person, right?"

Danzhu's cheerful question silenced everyone present.

Hua silently pushed up his glasses, stood up, and lifted Danzhu up, trapping her beneath him.

"The rain seems to be stopping, so I'm taking Danzhu to cut down some trees."

"It's only 'like'! It's just a little small! It hasn't stopped at all! I don't want to go out!"

Danzhu kicked her legs wildly, but how could a weakling like her possibly break free from Hua's arm?

"How dare you say that..." Liu Bai was speechless. "This girl hasn't been beaten enough, has she?"

"Is Danzhu using death to offset his fear of the future?" Cangxuan said, leaning on his head.

"Like how you've been talking a lot today?"

"... You know all this?" Cangxuan turned his head, a hint of surprise on his delicate face.

"We're not strangers," Liu Bai said speechlessly. "We've known each other for almost ten years, haven't we?"

The compatibility between the two little ones and her is 100% or higher.

"... That's really true."

Cangxuan thought about it and suddenly realized that he and Liu Bai had actually known each other for so long.

"I don't usually feel it at all... Time really flies."

Thinking about this, Cangxuan suddenly had a faint, subtle feeling.

The socially awkward Cangxuan didn't know how to continue the conversation for a moment.

"I'm going out to help cut down trees, wanna come along?"

Cangxuan's shift in topic was somewhat abrupt, but given the pressure everyone felt facing this new world, Liu Bai wisely refrained from pursuing the matter further.

"Let's go together. We can also bring Danzhu back. With Danzhu's skill level, all she can do is pick up twigs. Staying there will only cause trouble."

Anyway, I don't know why, but the quiet and inactive older sister is the elite warrior, while the lively and active younger sister is a complete noob.

Liu Bai felt that the sisters' genes were somewhat disordered.

"Honey, are you thinking about something very impolite?"

"No—wait, what did you call me?"

"Honey, the four of us depend on each other for survival. You're the head of the household, is there a problem?"

Chapter 456 New Home

"Hua! Lay this layer of branches and leaves on top, and it will all be over."

"Good!"

On the small, rudimentary house, Hua slowly and deliberately laid branches and leaves, several times larger than herself, on the wooden roof to temporarily shelter it from the wind and rain.

Mission accomplished.

Hua jumped off the roof.

From the moment they woke up until now, it has taken them nearly a month to adapt to this world and build a house.

Well, although these people haven't found a civilized tribe yet, they've all adapted to this primitive society.

These days, there are definitely more wild animals than humans, and these wild animals aren't afraid of people at all. They even act like they're superior to humans.

This led Danzhu to conclude that there probably really were no human tribes in this area.

Otherwise, all these fearless creatures would have been caught and roasted.

However, due to the presence of wild animals, some dangerous incidents did occur—once, Danzhu was almost carried off by wolves in a cave.

If Danzhu's dishes hadn't been compared to those of other warriors, Danzhu might have really been gone.

Because of this incident, everyone learned their lesson and now leaves someone at home when they go out, especially Cangxuan.

The reason they didn't keep Liu Bai was simple: they suddenly discovered that Liu Bai could possess a big tree and instantly transform into a tree person, rising from the ground.

The ancient giant tree, forty or fifty meters tall, suddenly grew long legs and feet and rose from the ground. They felt it was a pity that Mobius didn't get to see this shocking and slightly terrifying scene.

Besides the big trees, there are many strange things in the primeval forest that Liu Bai can possess.

Things like vines and mushrooms... well, mainly because when Liu Bai possesses something, the properties he grants make it bigger or more delicious. And that's the amazing thing about plants—their size-related properties are retained even after Liu Bai ends the possession...

In Danzhu's professional explanation, the moment Liu Bai possessed her, those plants instantly became N-ploids. These mutated plants, apart from being unable to reproduce, directly accomplished a feat that their entire Previous Era civilization had never achieved.

After all, the domestication of crops had to start all over again these days, and this was a real headache for someone as versatile as Danzhu.

Fortunately, by this point in time, some things have evolved to the point where they can be domesticated.

Yes, for example, rice.

Although it is still far from the level that Danzhu remembered, there is no doubt that its output is already worth domesticating for humans in this era who are poor in resources.

The two of them were also thinking of planting something to slowly tame some things. After all, although they were gene warriors, they were also fused with the genes of Honkai Beast. It was just that the fusion strength was not as strong as that of Fusion Warrior. But as long as they didn't do anything reckless, living for four or five thousand years, until the Moth Chasers to Fire all revived, was not a problem. So they didn't mind slowly taming some crops.

Moreover, farming is something we all enjoy, as we are all Shenzhou.

But later, the two of them tragically discovered that they could only grow this stuff slowly; the truly disheartening thing about this day and age is that the profits from farming can't compare to those from fishing and hunting...

These days, there are more animals than people, and more fish than animals. That's just the size relationship; there's no question of them becoming endangered in future generations.

These days, if something goes extinct, it's most likely because it should have been eliminated long ago, rather than because humans hunted it too much. Only a small number of rare animals specific to certain regions are killed to extinction by humans...

To be realistic, the total number of humans in the world is probably just over ten million. Humans have produced fewer offspring than animals, not to mention the amount of food they have...

So why bother with crops? Just raise them slowly, occasionally have a couple of meals of rice, and if you want vegetables, there are plenty in the forest, you can just compete with the animals for wild vegetables. These days, natural products are basically free...

Of course, this way of thinking only applies to these few people. After all, even if Danzhu has hunting skills, most tribes will probably gradually abandon the unstable fishing and hunting and move towards agriculture.

"Should we make a refrigerator or something?" Danzhu suddenly asked. "Surely individual products won't affect the overall progress of civilization?"

"While that makes sense, to be on the safe side, let's not do it. If we can't finish the meat, we can make it into jerky. If we can't finish the fruit, we can use it to ferment and brew wine—I remember you know how to do that, right?" Liu Bai stopped him.

"Yes, but it feels a bit too monotonous..." Danzhu sighed.

The reason why Danzhu and Cangxuan caused the Honkai in primitive society had little to do with technological creations. The real reason was that these two people taught too much knowledge related to Honkai.

Then Honkai 3rd said, "You're going to spread the word, huh? Well, here I come."

And so a large wave of Honkai Beast arrived, along with the Judgment-Class Honkai Beast Chiyou.

Yes, it was a large wave of Honkai Beast bringing Judgment-Class Honkai Beast, not Chiyou bringing a large wave of Honkai Beast.

Hua can't beat a Judgment-class? Let alone Judgment-class opponent, even if a Herrscher came along these days, Hua could easily defeat Yang.

There is only one reason why Danzhu Cangxuan are facing Chiyou head-on—Hua has gone to other places to "slay demons and monsters" and is unable to return to provide support.

Heaven knows the Honkai might just throw out a Judgment-Class Honkai Beast to teach humanity a lesson. They don't have high-precision, globally distributed Honkai Energy detection devices right now, so they have no idea that such a huge thing is hiding outside.

Other places were in dire need of Honkai Beast, so Hua naturally went to help. But as soon as she arrived, her hometown was raided by Chiyou...

Without Fusion Warrior, Judgment-Class Honkai Beast like Chiyou, with its superior lifespan and size, could absolutely plow through all human civilizations on Earth.

If I'm going to teach you how to be a civilized human being, I really will teach you how to be a human being. Your Honkai grandpa will definitely not joke around with you on this topic.

If this whole thing made any sense according to normal Honkai Beast logic, Danzhu Cangxuan, and Ji Lin wouldn't have died... Okay, the reason the lower-level Honkai Beast arrived first is probably because Chiyou was too slow...

However, even if small-scale technological advancements wouldn't cause any problems, Liu Bai didn't want to court disaster.

Liu Bai isn't afraid of anything like Chiyou. As I said before, Hua could kill even a Herrscher, let alone a Judgment-Class Honkai Beast.

If you bring Liu Bai along, as long as you don't directly descend into the Finality, Liu Bai can take Fu Hua and wipe out all the Herrscher before the Finality, and during this time, he can also protect Danzhu Cangxuan well.

What Liu Bai was truly afraid of was the impact on future generations; this could very well be a disaster that would last for millennia.

... However, another layer of reason told Liu Bai that giving these two a good beating might not be such a bad idea...

Liu Bai was actually a little afraid that his constant rejection would trigger the most deadly talent in human blood – the more you forbid me from doing something, the more I want to try it.

Okay, these two aren't the type to do anything reckless, but you never know when something might happen...

"What's wrong, honey? Why do you suddenly look so worried?"

Danzhu couldn't understand Liu Bai's troubles at all and looked at Liu Bai with a curious expression.

Ever since Cangxuan started calling Liu Bai that, Danzhu followed suit. Anyway, they had always heard others call Liu Bai that back then, so they didn't have any psychological barriers to calling her that.

"I'm considering whether I should give you two sisters a good beating first," Liu Bai said quietly.

"Waaah! Hua! The boss is going to bully and force all the women who aren't his girlfriends!" Danzhu started to cover her face and act. "Sister, will the two of us be chained to a dark room by the boss and beaten every day, only able to get a meal by selling our bodies to please him?"

"Can I sell my sister?" Cangxuan asked with a blank expression. "How much food can a pound of Danzhu be exchanged for?"

"Hey! Is there any kind of sister like you? I'll sell you off first!"

Danzhu jumped up and pinned Cangxuan down, and the two began to wrestle.

Cangxuan won't exert himself unless absolutely necessary, ostensibly to reduce unnecessary consumption... Well, Cangxuan is actually the one who slacks off the most among everyone.

"The two sisters have such a good relationship," Hua remarked, watching the two little ones wrestling and pecking at each other like chickens.

"Yes... they have such a good relationship. Let them call, let's go into the room first."

What could be more delightful than visiting the little house you built yourself?

The room was simply furnished with three wooden beds covered with several layers of animal hides and a table.
