After a thorough orientation and feeding his new employee well, Yu Zhiye set her free and went back to his idle fishing game.
“Damn… women really affects the speed in which I catch fish.”
But that same woman now became his new resource gatherer!
She was essentially the basic unit that serves as the foundation for any base-building or RTS games!
And unlike regular villagers in a game…
This Chae Yoona happened to possess an ability that will turn her into an actual ghost...
That means, even after death, she will be his eternal loyal worker!
No worries about losing a worker to a stray wolf in the wild or enemy soldiers. Even if she starved to death, guess who she will be slaving for…
“Uwah… I really sound like a devil. But… I like it!”
Such a great soul contract… the Soul Hall must be prioritized for upgrades!
Imagine a day where he could just sit on his throne and simply send other players to conquer the world for him! How cool would that be?!
But that’s for the future.
Now, he merely owned a startup company with a single employee: the agent black widow planted in that dangerous gang.
And he, the company owner, had to work overtime to earn the first pots of gold to fund his company.
“Sigh~” Yu Zhiye stared at the mountain peaks that were blurred by the heat and covered his face with his straw hat. “Ahh… so hot.”
Water will really be an issue, especially with how comfortable his new toilet was.
Now, he was baking in the sun and even too lazy to move.
Not that there was much point in doing so.
Sand he didn’t need, and most stones in the zone near the store have been cleaned out.
Even if there’s leftovers, why bother? With that mountain so close by, cobblestone was no longer an issue.
His bottleneck was once again... his core energy.
“Too many buildings, too little points.”
And his core energy must prioritize his resource generators and the core that required 50 CE to upgrade...
Unless he can find a way to double or triple his daily gains, most of his buildings, like the decorative pond, will be stuck in the stone age for a long time to come!
“Hey, if only I could get another core energy generator…”
Yu Zhiye didn’t know if author-san heard his wishes, but the same day, somebody came to deliver much-needed plot armor…
It was a heroic uncle donning a new windbreaker that made him look quite dashing.
“Hey, nice cape, Jack.”
“Right?” Jack grinned and gave Miss Highschooler a headpat. “Thanks to the little missy here! Tripped on a chest again! Bwahaha!”
“Eih! Uncle, that’s not funny!”
The lucky charm scrunched her nosy like she was the most unfortunate little lady in the world.
But damn did her luck make others envious!
Even Yu Zhiye felt the luck buff on his fishing rod should be a scam in comparison!
Like seriously? Does this little fairy really have a female lead halo or something?
There’s no way to know that, but this little lucky charm deserved to be worshiped as his little angel because...
“Oh right. Steve, look what we got.” Jack handed over a scroll. “Thought you’ll be interested in this.”
A recipe scroll? Once Yu Zhiye unrolled it and saw the recipe, he almost shot to his feet in excitement!
[Recipe: Fishing Rod (Blue)]
x3 Stick, x2 String
Sweet Stars above! This really was like they’re delivering a pillow when he’s sleepy!
Just imagine what an extra fishing rod can do! Double the rods, double the fishing points!
Imagine if he had five rods… ten… a hundred!
Hot damn! He got a boner just thinking about it!
Of course, all of this was still an unverified fantasy.
First, he must have enough materials to craft another rod. Then, he must verify if it’s actually possible to earn points from a second rod.
Still, regardless whether that works out or not, this recipe was still a godsend plot armor! Even if there’s no points, that’s another possible supply of fish!
This was a must buy, no matter the price!
Fortunately, this easy-going duo wasn’t the type to exploit their little money tree.
They even wanted to hand over the recipe for free, but Yu Zhiye was really embarrassed to take stuff for nothing.
The end result? Negotiations went quick and everybody happily went to dinner together.
It goes without saying that Yu Zhiye went for his usual “toilet run”.
In his base, he tallied up his harvest.
Though he lost out on a quite sizable fishing time today, his harvest today still tallied up to eight points, not counting his daily four-points passive income.
“Pity I can’t go fish in my little outpost at night. Or I would earn even more.”
That’s the downside of re-integrating into his party. But the plus side was obvious.
“Never know what surprises they might bring back. Hey, this is probably why businessmen like spreading their branches everywhere and play the angel investors.”
Spread a wider net all to catch more opportunities!
And doing so netted him a big win today!
“Alas… I still lack the sticks to craft this new recipe.”
Since that was the case, Yu Zhiye simply added a new entry to his recipe book, went through the motions, and left for dinner.
As soon as he left the restroom, he bumped into none other than his sexy Agent Red Specter chilling outside like she had long been waiting for him.
But just when she acted like she was just passing by, her whispered greeting told another story.
“Does oppa need to order anything for dinner?”
Their new secret code. Anything can be ordered. Including her.
But Yu Zhiye simply dropped a “I’m not hungry” and walked off under the obsessive stare of the red specter.
That night, dinner wasn’t anything out of the normal, except…
An evil spirit that should’ve been mingling with the rough bunch came to mooch off their little angel.
Since the little angel never woke up early to ghost through the aisles like he did, she must not have much food supply aside from the hard bread from the pyramid tomb.
Despite this fact, the bubbly angel still shared what little she had. “Eih! Big sister Yoona, if you’re hungry, have some more, ehe~”
Jack saw this, but he didn’t make a big deal about it. He understood the cruel reality and wasn’t the type to push others into the fire pit.
But Yu Zhiye knew this “hungry ghost” haunting them already had her fill today! How shameless to take advantage of his little angel’s kindness!
He really can’t bear it and dropped a warning, “Little Miss Ling, the kind will have a hard time surviving here, you know.”
Xiao Shuling blinked like a naive little girl and retorted, “Eih! My mom always told little Ling’er that kindness will bring good luck! Little Ling’er will always remember that! Ehe~”
Ehe te nandayo! This naive angel can’t be saved!
Yu Zhiye munched on his owner dinner, but the guilt filled his stomach more and more…
In the end, he handed over his share to the naive girl to cover the costs his bitch was eating. “Here, eat.”
“Ehe Big Brother does have kindness in your heart”
Nonsense. If everybody can instantly turn fully coldblooded after a world switch, then this place would already be total hell!
In some places, his brutality might have awakened, but there’s still a long way to go before darkness takes over his heart.
Besides, he didn’t lack this bit of food.
In fact, as an upright, honest, principled, and conscientious boss, he even planned to take care of the meals of his most outstanding employee!
Yu Zhiye gave the little squirrel a little headpat. “Tomorrow, I’ll give you two a little surprise once you two return from your little adventure.”
Like always, surprises put stars in the little angel’s eyes.
