CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: WANT A MASSAGE?

Argonia Fragment, in a human town.

Lin Yi was disappointed to find the laboratory completely destroyed.

The vampires had spared no effort to ensure he gained nothing.

In the entire tower, not a single potion was intact, and none of the potion ingredients were whole.

Fortunately, the vampires left the library alone.

Almost eighty percent of the books were still intact, and the remaining twenty percent could be restored if their missing pages were found...

The three laboratories were system workshops, so when the buildings were destroyed, they reverted back to cube form.

Because of this, Lin Yi could now build three new workshops or sell them for a good price.

Looking at the Ark’s account balance.

The Argonia Kingdom was quite wealthy—there were 4.3 million coins in the account!

The Ark had sold a significant batch of potions at a nearby port.

After all, demand for potions among all space-time races was enormous. The Argonians had also stocked up on raw materials and food, but these were all burned by the mages.

"How did they catch up to us?! They only had a green sail, and didn’t even have the Dome to hide the Ark..."

After thoroughly searching the ruins, Lin Yi found a Space-Time Beacon, a harpoon, and a sail one level higher than the standard one.

To Lin Yi, it seemed impossible for Azarus to catch up to the Shelter... yet somehow, he stealthily approached them!

Siri was just as perplexed.

"Boss, I found something on the beacon," the cheerful voice of the Beetle Queen echoed in his mind.

Without saying a word, Lin Yi teleported to the rooftop of the castle and entered the Space-Time Beacon.

"I don’t see anything."

"Look down, below the Ark."

Lin Yi teleported to the harpoon, then circled around the Shelter with incredible speed, diving beneath the Shelter.

Below him was only a ground shrouded in darkness, but as he approached the Ark, he almost fired the harpoon.

There was a colossal creature beneath the Ark!

It reminded him of ancient legends which claimed Earth was carried on the back of a turtle.

But this wasn’t a turtle; it looked more like an unimaginably large stingray.

"...Can we kill it for a reward?"

"I don’t know, don’t kill it, it’s too dangerous."

The Queen pleaded; she didn’t want to die, especially not in such a foolish way... what if this stingray was as powerful as a space-time demon?

"Hahaha! I was just teasing you," Lin Yi laughed, but Siri could read his thoughts and knew he was serious a moment ago.

"That old Azarus surely knows."

"Maybe now’s not the right time."

"Why not?! We need to know!" Siri exclaimed, voicing her disagreement with Lin Yi for the first time.

With a slight chuckle, Lin Yi replied, "See for yourself!"

Siri synced their thoughts, allowing her to see what Lin Yi saw.

Oh! Oh, my... I don’t... The Beetle Queen quickly cut the connection.

The scene she had just witnessed traumatized her innocent, girlish heart.

Now Azarus had a youthful body, or more accurately, the female Chimeras had Azarus’s youthful body.

They were doing unspeakable things to him!

They had waited forty years, and now he was not only young but also quite attractive!

"I don’t think we’ll get an answer before tomorrow," Lin Yi giggled.

Before the connection was severed, he felt the emotional outburst from Siri.

Lin Yi continued to examine the creature.

It had no eyes, but possessed a giant mouth.

He also noticed that the Ark was perfectly perched on the creature’s back.

In fact, the shape of the Ark was clearly designed to fit this monster.

It looked like a woman’s fingernail, with two right angles and an oval shape.

After the investigation, Lin Yi had a snack and headed home.

It had been an exceedingly busy day... but when wasn’t it like this? As soon as his head hit the pillow, his body drifted into a deep sleep...

But he hadn’t slept long before there was a knock at the door.

He saw Chen Youyou standing there shyly.

As Chen Youyou walked in, she asked, "Boss! Want a massage?"

"Of course," Lin Yi grinned.

Chen Youyou was adorably shy like this...

She was wearing a loose dress, which was somewhat unusual for her.

Lin Yi took off his T-shirt, but Chen Youyou shook her head, asking him to undress completely and lie face down.

Lin Yi didn’t want to refuse, so he complied, though he didn’t quite understand why he had to lie face down...

Chen Youyou hiked up her dress and got on the bed with him.

After she lay on Lin Yi’s back...

Well, she really did give him a massage, and her technique was excellent. She wore level-three accessories and clothing, enhancing her Agility and Power.

Her gentle, feminine hands massaged his shoulders, neck, and head, then moved down to his back before finally reaching his feet.

Lin Yi was so relaxed, he fell asleep...

But Chen Youyou wouldn’t let him sleep just like that.

She cruelly woke him up, then turned him over to lie on his back... revealing her most wild side...

~~~~~~

Argonia Kingdom.

A vast medieval castle, in the throne room.

On the steps leading to the Golden Throne, lay three young naked women.

The throne was luxuriously adorned with various gemstones.

Two of the girls were as pale as death, while the third woman looked as if she had just been attacked by a pack of wolves.

"That foolish human! How on earth did he come to lead a Fragment World?!" the King of Argonia Kingdom roared.

He was the ruler of a great race, and at this moment, his face and hands were stained with the blood of the women.

"Your Majesty, though Azarus is your weakest vassal, he still has his uses. His contribution to the treasury is quite significant..."

"I know! I made him a vassal!"

The king shouted, pounding the throne angrily with remorse over his mistake.

"Order Gall, Yuripuchi, and Cesare to drop what they’re doing and find him! I want them to bring back that giant beast, and also capture that damned Ark with the Heart of the World!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Hamir bowed and quickly left the throne hall.

The Argonia Kingdom was now in the midst of a full-scale war,

and anyone who stood in their way would be crushed!

Yet it wasn’t just the Argonians who knew of the mysterious Ark with the Heart of the World...

The Sea of Space-Time was about to fall into chaos...

~~~~~~

Early the next morning,

Lin Yi and Chen Youyou woke up.

Having expended a lot of calories the previous night, their bodies needed to replenish energy immediately.

"Your massage skills have improved a lot, in other aspects too..."

"Yeah." Chen Youyou replied, her head comfortably resting on Lin Yi’s muscled chest.

When she was with him, Chen Youyou felt filled with safety and happiness.

She still remembered the fear in her heart when the biological invasion destroyed everything they had built at the shelter.

"Want to go again?" Lin Yi said while caressing her back with his hand.

"I’m a bit hungry..." Chen Youyou answered.

The thought of food made Lin Yi’s stomach growl.

"Me too..."

They quickly washed up and headed to their usual outdoor buffet.

Lin Yi found some bacon, sausage, and cheese in the fridge and made a few sandwiches.

Meanwhile, Chen Youyou brewed some tea: "Boss? Do you want sugar in your tea?"

"No need..."

"Oh, Chen Youyou spent the night with the boss again!" Annie muttered quietly through the window.

Her eyes were sparkling, her heart racing, and her slender body almost trembling.

Ten minutes later, everyone was present.

Breakfast officially began.

Chen Youyou was the first to report.

The current shelter resembled more of an interplanetary company than a nation.

Every department was now composed of different teams and groups.

While restructuring the leadership of the shelter, Chen Youyou gradually realized that a corporate system was far more efficient than a governmental structure.

Less bureaucracy, faster completion of work, and managers had more oversight over subordinates.

Chen Youyou’s Mind Sensing Skills had already deterred three people from slacking off or deceiving her.

As the assistant to the CEO, she was authorized to delegate all responsibilities to others, assisting or evaluating their work as needed.

According to the professor, Giselle would probably give birth in about ten days, with a margin of error of one day, while Nurse Martha was always monitoring her.

"Beauty" Mary had recently been maintaining her Beastman form continuously, 24 hours a day, and was expected to give birth soon as well.

Da Chuan and Dragon Maiden Mira had also found a way to get along that both were satisfied with. They lived together now.

Xiaochuan’s situation wasn’t going as smoothly; Melanie wasn’t ready to live with him yet.

Some girls thought she was just testing him...

When most people had finished eating, Lin Yi began his routine inquiries, starting with Sylvie.

"Have you seen those Knights’ equipment, Sylvie? What do you think?"

"Yes, Boss! As for the equipment itself... there’s nothing particularly noteworthy, the materials are poor, like low-grade steel.

However, these pieces of equipment have been enchanted, making them much better than our own."

"According to Azarus, enchantments are akin to programming. Chen Youyou, find some people who can become Enchanters."

"Okay, Boss!"

Lin Yi turned to Solomon.

"Have all the Knights begin their Earth initiation and get them some Skill Books."

"Understood! I will train them first, then integrate them into the army."

"Arrange it as you see fit. I want to get more vehicles from the Americans. By the way, have you talked to those people we saved? Learned anything useful about Germany?"

"Yes, I have, Boss. Many of them were on their way to Cologne at the time. They say there’s a large survivor camp there, and they have food.

But no one knows how reliable that information is... it’s all rumors from some radio broadcast or something."

Lin Yi took a sip of his tea.

"Actually, there are two camps there—Cologne and Düsseldorf.

At least that’s what the Americans say, but I have a gut feeling there’s going to be trouble.

Two big camps in such a small area, they are almost side by side; they can’t coexist peacefully..."

"Boss, should we have the soldiers get ready?"

"That’s right, have the Children of the Sun prepare as well, so we can show off our strength and numbers, and helicopters will be used. But I do wish we had some mechas..."

Lin Yi sighed.

Louis and Solomon also followed with a sigh...
