The Cannon Fodder in the Global Apocalypse Game lives a leisurely life-Chapter 393: Midas’ Touch

"Now, I like to ask you something. Do you dislike me?" Haoran leaned forward, eyes fixated in the girl’s.

Chunhua shook her head and said, "There is no way I will dislike you."

"Then that’s all I wanted to hear." Haoran stood up and gently placed a kiss on her forehead. "Don’t stay too late at night. Your health comes first."

Chunhua watched Haoran walked towards the exit in a dazed manner before touching the spot that still had the man’s warmth.

Once again, the words of that unforgettable night repeated in her mind.

’Xiao Hua, I liked you. Would you like to be my Wife?’

Somewhere in the world, a certain player who wanted to be Duke’s friend sneezed before he got the message, [Player ’Dumpling Duke’ has blacklisted you.]

"Why did I do wrong?" Beef Noodle was shocked.

"Beef Noodle, how’s the negotiation going on? Did he agree to the alliance?" Seafood noodle asked.

"He blacklisted me!"

"Did you send him some kind of weird text?"

"No I was just promoting myself! Look..." Beef Noodle let his seafood brother take a look.

Seafood Noodle found nothing wrong and didn’t blame his Brother Beef any more.

On the other hand, Haoran entered the south wing of the Courtyard House. The first thing he did was to open the chat interface and stared at the name, Little Baozi and Dumpling Duke...

Even our codenames have something in common.

Haoran quietly stared; finding his choice of naming was smart.

Zurui’s head had just touched the pillow when he received a message.

[Dumpling Duke]: How do you court a girl into your wife?

All his drowsiness vanished and the expression of someone who had seen a pig singing emerged on Zurui’s face.

My gosh.

Is still my brother who hadn’t even touched a girl’s hand?!

[Simple Courtyard House (+) (Modification)

Occupancy: 4-10

Necessary Materials: 50 units of Lime Stone, 100 units of woods, 100 units of stones, 50 metal ingots, 400 units of copper coins]

There are other modern designs such as bungalows but Chunhua liked this style as it reminded her of the Inner Disciples’ Quarters that she used to live but because it requires lime stones as well, she could only built the lowest grade for the meantime.

The design of the Courtyard house was similar to traditional ’siheyuan’ comprising four houses -or wings- each dedicated to a specific member of the household and arranged to surround the internal courtyard, a private outdoor living space in the center that comes with an additional miniature garden at the center.

There is a small kitchen and toilet, located left and right of the south wing. The rooms are decorated with simple wooden beds and cabinets an each room was approximately 60 square feet.

But what Siri, Nikolai, Elga liked the most about the new residence is the privacy and it was more spacious than the basic residence.

"Finally my own room! I will ask the Old Witch to build a weapon display and training room inside!" Elga excitedly rushed over the west wing, carrying her beddings.

The exhausted Nikolai also wanted to take a nap after a long tiring day but before he can take a step, Siri was there to remind him of his freeloader status.

"I don’t care if you’re a bloodling prince, a famous celebrity or a professional freeloader son back in your planet but in here the accommodation and food is not for free and you need to work hard to earn them. Do you understand?" Siri had a smile on his face but the bloodling could sense the threat emanating from the Elf.

Nikolai clicked his tongue and was unfazed regarding his identity getting revealed. "I heard that the youngest son of the Elven Royalty was unlucky since birth and everywhere he went, he only brought misfortune and carnage. Does your Master know that?"

Siri maintained the smile, unperturbed and slowly approached the bloodling, "It appears you’re well-informed but there something you missed. It’s not wherever I go but whoever I touched." The last word came of a hushed long whisper etched with foreboding tone.

Nikolai stared at the Elf’s hand on his shoulder, merely blinked a few times, before yanking it off with a slap and walking away, "As If I believe you, you can do something better than that-"

He bloodling hadn’t finished his sentence and barely took a step, when he slipped.

Thud-

Thud-

Thud-

Nikolai coughed and spat out the soil and looked at the Elf in disbelief who appeared to wear the same facial expression as him. F*ck, is that actually true?

"..."

Siri witnessed the bloodling stumbled and rolled a couple of times. He slowly lifted his hand that touched the bloodling’s shoulder seconds ago and stared at it. What- what just happened?

Ding-

[Congratulations or Condolence! You’ve acquired an exclusive skill, ’Midas Touch’.]

(A/N: I don’t know if you’re familiar with the Midas’ story about him turning everything he touches into gold?)

Siri: "..." What does that ’Condolence’ means?

However, the method definitely tamed the brute and with bloodling who is full of superiority complex.

After experiencing several ups and down, the bloodling nearly knelt and called Siri ’Dad’.

Ding-

Ding-

[You’ve received a message from your friend, Green Thumb]

[Green Thumb]: The vegetables grown from the pit turned out well. I made pickles yesterday and had extras. Miao Miao was also lucky to encounter a field of Witch Hazels. Can we still trade for bandages?

[You’ve received 256 units of Witch Hazels]

[You’ve received 5 jars of Vegetable Pickles]

[Little Baozi]: Of course but it would be good if you can acquire the whole plant as well or seeds. I’ll pay for it.

Grandpa Chen was a bit disappointed. He actually wanted to establish long term business with her through this but he knew he it was too good for a wish when he can’t bring anything valuable to the table. For all he knows, the territory Baozi also had witch hazels.

[Little Baozi]: If you’re worried about the bandage. I can give you its blueprint. You can do business provided I can have 20% of the profit. I only received copper coins. But the only downside is you need to manufacture your own linen and cotton.
