Hideout. Shack.

“...stack the 25 emeralds with the rest and done.”

Yu Zhiye stared at the new loot arranged in his inventory-chest interface.

The [Big Sandfish] occupied its own slot while the [Enchanted Iron Sword] sat in his inventory hotbar.

Thanks to this windfall, he didn’t lack emeralds anymore and decided to keep this sword for self defense.

Such an enchanted weapon was many times better than his broken stone axe.

Err… not that it mattered. It was best that he never gets forced to use this.

He, Yu Zhiye, prefers being an honest businessman that rakes in the money and pay others to do the dirty work!

Speaking of money…

His reserve funds have surpassed the 30-mark for the first time ever, enough to get those mid-tier extraordinary potions!

“Bleh. Why didn’t I get these emeralds a day earlier? Now I gotta wait till the next cycle to use em.”

One step behind, a thousand steps behind.

“Guess I’ll have to stay a powerless fisherman for another week.”

That really didn’t sit well with Yu Zhiye because he felt his situation was getting more and more dangerous.

There’s Team Four-eyes greedy over his lifeline, invaders from another base ready to raid, an anomaly that might already be immortal, creepy monsters that walk the day, and an ever-looming mist tide event…

“Hey, why can’t author-san just let me fish in peace?”

Then again, even fishing wasn’t peaceful anymore. If it weren’t for the extra set of hands, he might’ve gotten dragged under or lost a fishing rod today!

Like seriously, why did a fish boss appear all of a sudden?

Was it really a random encounter that got attracted by chance? Or…

Did luring such a boss require a special “bait” like today?

Yu Zhiye glanced at the [Big Sandfish] then the iron sword he acquired and smirked like a crook.

“Hey, hey, hope that other base sends over a few more cannon fodder to let me test this hypothesis out.”

Honestly, Yu Zhiye didn’t mind. Not only did they deliver free loot, even all their XP got dropped upon death!

Of course, there’s certainly some risk here…

But as long as the enemy didn’t possess some light-speed killer or offensive skill that can’t be detected, then why should he be afraid?

If all else fails, just rush into his base to hide!

That’s why he always builds a sandstone wall at his fishing spot everyday. His backroad was accessible anytime!

Safety first above all else. That was his new creed ever since that close call with death in the caves.

And this steady mindset extended to other aspects as well…

The storage interface shut down and the chest creaked shut.

Glancing to the side, Yu Zhiye spotted the hottie sitting on another chest nearby and tapping on empty air.

Obviously, she was accessing the system, and not just any interface, but the newly unlocked Infinite Survivalverse Multiverse Exchange!

That’s right. He handed that golden ticket to her!

Why hand over something so valuable?

Well, let’s just say using contractual items like these that he doesn’t fully understand really doesn’t sit well with him.

Though he found nothing wrong in both the system and this mysterious cheat’s item analysis, who knows if there’s any traps hidden in those runes!

To be on the safe side, it was best to never sign [Yes] on these gifts from fate.

Just look at how this Chae Yoona ended up after signing off on his slave contract! She became a plaything that can’t hide anything from him!

And no matter how badly he treated her, she still had to put on a smile to please him.

Poor soul. He really pitied her. So he ‘rewarded’ her this gift of fate and let her be the intermediary that’ll explore the way for him.

Anyways, she signed away her soul to him, and it didn’t matter if she gets a few more lice.

Of course, the multiverse was grand beyond his vision. Who knows if there’s any special items for breaking an existing slave contract.

To prevent her from slipping out of control, it was best to set some ground rules.

“So? How is it, noona? Do you like this reward?”

Seeing the ugly, tanned face get in the way of her screen, Chae Yoona had no choice but to shut down the interface to deal with the annoying man.

“My, my, how can Yoona not like what oppa gives?”

Feeling the hands getting handsy with her thighs, she opened them naturally and hooked her arms around the man’s neck.

“Oppa gave Yoona something so precious… how does oppa want your noona to reward you?”

The charming fox’s distraction-no-jutsu was maxed out, but Yu Zhiye did his best to resist the sinful lust and focused on serious business.

“If you want to repay me, explore everything about that Multiverse Exchange for me.”

“Mah, mah… since it’s oppa’s orders, how can Yoona refuse?”

Yu Zhiye stared at this succubus that was rubbing him the wrong way and felt the devil inside get aroused.

“Oh really? Then… here’s another order. Without my permission, you can’t buy, sell, trade, or get anything on that Multiverse Exchange. Understand?”

Chae Yoona froze and a flash of anger flashed through her eyes, though she did well to hide it.

“My, my… is oppa really not granting Yoona any funds to spend on research?”

Yu Zhiye smirked. “We’ll discuss things once I figure out how everything works. I hope you’re a good teacher, noona. Tonight, I’ll reward you well depending on your progress. Don’t disappoint me.”

Tch. Who wants your disgusting reward! Chae Yoona cursed inside, but still plastered on her most pleasing smile.

“Sah… when has Yoona disappointed oppa? Just leave… it to me. Shihehehe~”
