[Gu Fei consumed a plate of garlic-flavored potato chips and returned 500 plates, which have been deposited into the host space]
[Ning Shuangyu consumed a plate of twice-cooked pork and returned 400 plates, which have been deposited into the host space]
[LĂŒ Su Ran consumed a plate of stir-fried seasonal vegetables and returned 800 plates, which have been deposited into the host space]
...
Todayâs lunch was home-style stir-fry, four dishes and one soup.
It was also returned from Shen Chuchu previously.
It must be said, although Shen Chuchuâs worldview is not very normal, her cooking skills are impeccable.
The meals are extremely delicious.
LĂŒ Su Ran had not had a hot meal for a long time.
She felt a bit touched inside.
And Gu Fei took great care of her, asking her if she had any dietary restrictions and constantly picking food for her.
This moved LĂŒ Su Ran even more.
It was as if she had returned to her long-ago family, back when she still had family...
Unbeknownst to herself, she already felt part of this "family."
Lin Lang was also very satisfied with this.
His fondness for Gu Fei deepenedâ
No wonder she is his "big wife," a workplace elite, and team leader!
With her around, family matters can be entirely handed over to her without him having to worry.
He only needs to focus on getting stronger!
However.
Ning Shuangyu seemed not too happy.
Although it wasnât obvious, the always lively her spoke much less.
In her view, Lin Lang now had another woman by his side.
That would inevitably reduce the attention he pays to her.
And now, even Sister Gu Feiâs attention was taken away by this newcomer.
...
After eating.
Lin Lang as usual went to the study.
Leaving LĂŒ Su Ran, Gu Fei, and Ning Shuangyu in the living room to chat.
Although LĂŒ Su Ran was a newcomer and introverted, not good at chatting.
With Gu Fei taking care of things, Lin Lang felt at ease.
Gu Fei kept guiding her to speak.
She deliberately brought up topics about Ning Shuangyuâs profession.
LĂŒ Su Ran would then admire:
"Wow! Sister Shuangyu is actually an agent? So amazing!"
Ning Shuangyu unconsciously felt proud.
Looking at LĂŒ Su Ran again, she found her much more agreeable.
Thus, the atmosphere in the living room did not feel awkward.
Lin Langâs greatest worry, a scene of rivalry, didnât happen.
...
In the study.
Lin Lang took out his phone.
He found that someone in the neighborhood owner group had tagged him again.
So he clicked in to take a look.
He scrolled up for some time.
Someone had posted a video in the group.
The video showed the situation of the building, specifically the situation at the first-floor entrance.
The first-floor door was ajar.
A huge black rat with a long tail as big as a dog squeezed through the door.
Under the video, the person who posted it said:
"[Captured by the gate monitor, the downstairs door somehow opened, and now thereâs already a monster in the hallway! Everyone be careful! Especially those on the lower floors!]"
The group immediately became uproarious:
"[Damn! What a big rat!]"
"[Oh God, when will this disaster end!]"
"[Help! That big rat seems to be right outside my door! What should I do!]"
...
The Fierce Beast had entered the building.
This news had C Blockâs residents panicking!
You see, the combat power of the Fierce Beast is not the same level as those fragile bugs in the corridor!
The steel-reinforced anti-theft door can fend off bugs.
But it might not be able to withstand the sharp teeth of a Fierce Beast!
Then.
Gradually, comments appeared:
"[Facing a Fierce Beast, ordinary people have only one path to death! Unless youâre a superpower user!]"
"[Yeah, is there anyone in the group with superpowers who can help?]"
"[Wasnât that young lady next to Lord Bulang yesterday a superpower user?]"
"[Lord Bulang! Could you please help deal with this Fierce Beast? No one dares to leave their apartment with such a creature in the hallway! @Lin Bulang]"
"[Yes! How do we attend the next trading event? @Lin Bulang]"
"[Is that young lady in the group? Can you lend a hand?]"
...
"So thatâs whatâs going on!"
Lin Lang understood.
Itâs actually quite simpleâ
A monster got into the building, and everyone wanted him to clean it up.
In fact, for Lin Lang right now, this was no effort at all.
He just needed to release his Telekinesis to determine the ratâs current position.
Then, using the Spirit Wood Ability, control the big tree outside the window to let its branches kill the rat and toss it out.
But!
He didnât want to become cheap labor in these peopleâs eyes.
At the last rooftop trading event.
Under Wang LianDaâs instigation, these people couldnât wait to make a move against Lin Lang.
Lin Lang still remembers this.
They were ready to sacrifice others for their own benefit.
So why should Lin Lang regard their interests as more important than his own?
But at this time.
The door of the study was knocked.
Ning Shuangyu outside said:
"Lin Lang, have you checked the owner group? Iâve seen the messages in the group!"
Lin Lang got up and opened the door.
Ning Shuangyu looked at him, confidently said:
"Judging by the size, that rat is at most a D-Class Fierce Beast. I believe with my current ability, I can handle it!"
Lin Lang shook his head:
"Donât go."
"Why?"
Ning Shuangyu asked with a puzzled frown.
"Now, I am the strongest in this room, even in the entire building!"
"At times like this, I must step forward!"
"With great power comes great responsibility!"
Lin Lang said:
"Eliminating a rat is easy, but if you take on the responsibility of protecting them now, your life will become difficult in the future."
Ning Shuangyu still couldnât quite understand.
At this time.
Gu Fei came over, comforting her:
"Sister Shuangyu, listen to Lin Lang. He must have his reasons. The situation outside is complicated, besides Fierce Beasts, we also have to guard against human nature..."
After some persuasion
Ning Shuangyu reluctantly gave up the idea of cleaning up the Fierce Beast.
And in the group.
Seeing that Lin Bulang wasnât responding for a long time.
The residents roughly understood that Lord Bulang didnât want to get involved in this matter.
After all.
With such a powerful superpower user by Lin Bulangâs side, he definitely wasnât afraid of that Fierce Beast!
And he wouldnât risk his woman to save them.
This ultimately was their own trouble.
And they should solve it themselves!
Soon after!
A netizen with the username "Light of Righteousness" stood up, posting:
"[Donât pin your hopes on others, we must learn to fight for ourselves!]"
"[Itâs just a big rat, even without superpower usersâ help, we can handle it!]"
"[Is there anyone in the group willing to join me to kill this big rat?]"
The group applauded well!
Everyone gave high praise to this personâs bravery.
But no one was willing to join him.
After quite a while.
Someone said:
"[Iâm in, Iâve got a machete @Light of Righteousness]"
"[Count me in! Damn! Hallway safety is everyoneâs responsibility]"
"[Iâm coming too! Itâs just a rat, whatâs there to fear?]"
...
Soon.
A team of five or six people was assembled on WeChat.
They agreed to first find teammates nearby and then set off together to meet on the third floor!
Lin Lang glanced with his Telekinesis.
Sure enough, this team was all composed of hot-blooded young guys.
Each wielding weapons.
Baseball bats, machetes, kitchen knives, and firefighting axes.
As for that big rat.
It was currently hiding in the second-floor stairwell.
