Chapter 146
The System Mall sells basic materials such as purified water, bandages, compressed biscuits, and common drugs.
It also offers advanced materials like heating pipes, condenser pipes, low-level firearm equipment, stamina recovery potions, and medical potions.
Additionally, it includes agricultural materials like grains, vegetables, seeds, and fertilizers.
Each item’s required points for purchase are listed below it.
Most only require a few points, maybe a few dozen, but none exceed one hundred points.
The system explains, [Currently, the mall is at a basic stage, with most items being ordinary white and green quality items. The more points the host spends in the mall, the quicker the mall can upgrade to offer more rare resources p>
Shen Tang curiously asks, “Where do I get points from? Do I have any points now p>
The system replies, [For every increase in the target’s affinity, the host gains one point p>
[Checking points for the host now… 1235 points p>
Shen Tang exclaimed, with so many points, she could consider herself a little rich lady.
[Don’t get too conceited, host, money spent quickly runs out, and doing tasks diligently is the right path p>
“Got it.” This damn system always pushes her to do tasks, and Shen Tang winces at the thought of that [Mermaid’s Tears p>
She didn’t have the confidence to make a man cry while asleep.
Or maybe the other way around.
This lustful system is unreliable, she needs to think carefully about how to complete this task.
Over the past half month, Shen Tang bought a lot of grain seeds and fertilizers, and the City Lord even personally led people to cultivate a hundred acres of fertile land outside the city.
Shen Tang would check the fields daily, and when tired, she would rest in the shade, happily considering selling the produce to more areas inhabited by Beastmen once grown.
She had plenty of money for now, but it wouldn’t last forever.
She still had to find a way to make money.
A young figure appeared in front of her.
“Sister Tang, I just picked these fruits, would you like to try some!” Hu Yun scratched his head.
“Thank you.” Shen Tang smiled as she accepted the fruit, noticing the boy’s red cheeks.
The system chuckled, [Host, I detected this young beastman has some affection for you, you could seize the opportunity to take him on~ His aptitude is B-grade, not too bad; if you’re interested, you can give it a try p>
Shen Tang sighed heavily, this damn system is ravenous.
She wasn’t interested in such things.
Those four pesky men were enough for her to handle; she didn’t want to flirt around more.
Just as Shen Tang was about to speak, the fruit in her hand was suddenly snatched away, and a tall and straight figure cast a shadow on the ground.
She looked up to see Xiao Jin walking over.
He took a bite of the fruit in his hand, complained, “It’s sour and astringent, awful to eat p>
Hu Yun’s face darkened a bit, “I picked these for Sister Shen Tang to eat, not for you p>
Upon hearing this address, Xiao Jin grinded his teeth in anger, giving Hu Yun a cold glance but couldn’t be bothered to deal with the little brat.
He turned his head to Shen Tang, raised an eyebrow, smiled showing his teeth, “If you want to eat fruit, just let me know, I’ll pick some for you p>
After saying that, he disappeared without a trace.
Soon, Xiao Jin returned with an armful of bright red fruits.
Shen Tang took a bite, her eyes lit up; the wild fruit had thin skin, plenty of flesh, and juicy, tasting a bit like an apple but more fragrant and sweet.
Quite delicious, could be used to make apple pie.
Shen Tang saved the seeds and asked Xiao Jin to carry her over, discovering a few fruit trees that could be cultivated in the future.
As night fell, with a cool mountain breeze, Shen Tang patted the leopard head, “Let’s go back p>
Xiao Jin transformed into a human and scooped her up in his arms.
Shen Tang blushed, “What are you doing p>
Looking at her charming face, Xiao Jin felt a twinge of displeasure, wishing she’d revert to being plain and ordinary.
At least then, fewer sneaky males would covet her!
Day after day, Xiao Jin was always catching those beastmen sending secretive glances her way, offering all kinds of clandestine courtesies.
Xiao Jin deliberately, in front of so many people, pinched her chin and kissed her dominantly, “I can’t hold it any longer. Tonight! To my room p>
With that, Xiao Jin sped home with Shen Tang and threw her onto the bed for a proper punishment.
“You damn leopard… mmh p>
Shen Tang’s coquettish voice was swallowed by his kiss.
Sharp fangs grazed her lips, at once rough and gentle.
The room’s temperature steadily rose.
The sounds made the heart race and face blush.
Beastmen have extremely sensitive hearing, picking up even the slightest noise clearly.
Jia Lan didn’t sleep a wink all night, nearly wrecking his bathtub in anger; that damn leopard never seemed to stop!
Her! Why was she indulging that damn leopard so much!
Did she really like him that much?
As dawn broke, with the sun peeking over the horizon.
Shen Tang had long fallen asleep.
Xiao Jin, still not fully satisfied, carried her to the bathroom to bathe, then tidied up the room.
Afterward, contentedly holding Shen Tang, he fell into a deep sleep.
He slept till the afternoon before waking, with Shen Tang feeling stifled by the heat, nearly gasping for air.
Looking down, Shen Tang discovered Xiao Jin’s tail tightly wrapped around her waist, his arm also tightly holding her, while his long legs were intertwined with hers… Even in sleep, this damn man was so domineering!
Shen Tang touched her empty, growling stomach, about to awaken Xiao Jin to get something to eat.
The system suddenly issued an alarm in her mind,
[Warning host, Jia Lan’s affinity is trending downwards p>
Shen Tang, who had felt somewhat sleepy, instantly cleared all tiredness upon hearing this.
“Jia Lan’s affinity has decreased, why p>
She hadn’t provoked him these past days.
The system explained, [What else could it be? Jia Lan overheard you two all night long through the wall; the guy was already in a rutting period, barely suppressing it, but your ground-shattering antics sparked his fire as well, yet it wasn’t quenched! Why, it’s a wonder he hasn’t even turned dark p>
Continuing, the system earnestly advised, [Host, don’t slack off, avoiding it won’t solve the problem; the task deadline is getting closer, please quickly conquer His Royal Highness the Mermaid p>
Spurred on, Shen Tang resolved, “I’ll act tonight p>
She glanced at the sleeping Xiao Jin beside her.
This leopard had too strong a possessiveness, always ruining things.
She needed a foolproof plan to prevent further interruptions.
The system reminded, [The System Mall sells Sleeping Potions, costing just 10 points p>
Shen Tang checked the system mall, indeed finding this item, which could put someone into a deep sleep for 12 hours, nearly impossible to awaken, while greatly restoring stamina.
She purchased a bottle directly from the mall and used it on Xiao Jin.
This annoying leopard, after last night’s exhausting antics, might as well sleep soundly for a bit!
Xiao Jin frowned slightly, then fell into a deep sleep, not even noticing when Shen Tang removed his arm and tail.
Shen Tang quietly slipped out of bed, changed, and headed to Jia Lan’s room.
