The four of them scrambled to deal with the spiders while hastily patching up the roof.
At a time like this, there was no room to worry about whether it looked good or not — as long as it was covered, that was enough.
Fortunately, they had chopped down plenty of trees during the day. With more people, the work went faster, and soon they had filled in all the gaps on the roof.
Suddenly, a barrage of comments floated in from the chat.
【Now it looks more like a tomb.】
【Feels like they're just laying out a flat pancake...】
【No roof, just a flat layer? It looks so weird.】
【Let’s just make do. If they spend more time building a roof, they’re all going to die.】
【Isn’t it too dark inside the house?】
…
“It’s not that we don’t want to build a roof — it’s that we can’t! There’s no option to build a roof in the crafting table!” Zhong Yi said helplessly as he read the comments.
“But logically, everything in this world is made up of blocks... Maybe we can build the roof ourselves?” Zhou Yue suddenly had an idea.
“That might actually work!”
Zhong Yi’s mind lit up with a sudden realization.
By stacking and piling blocks, countless shapes could be created.
Not just a simple sloped roof — even a multi-eave imperial palace roof could be built in the game.
Of course, the amount of work involved in that would be no small feat.
“Roar~ roar~”
From outside the door came the occasional growls of zombies, along with the scratching of fingers against the wooden planks.
“You know, that sound is pretty realistic. Even through the wood, it sounds muffled,” Zhong Yi remarked.
In this regard, he really admired Lu Ze — the attention to detail was impeccable.
“Roar~ roar~”
Another zombie growl came through.
This time, it was very clear.
“Heh, Mu junior brother, don’t think I can’t tell you’re just imitating the zombies to scare us,” Zhong Yi said without turning around, a cold smile breaking through his words.
“Hehe, Senior Brother Zhong’s brain really is sharp,” Mu Yawen chuckled sheepishly.
“Roar~ roar~”
Just as he finished speaking, another clear zombie roar sounded from behind.
“Old Zhou, when did you get so bored?” Zhong Yi couldn’t help but tease.
“Who’s bored? I swear that sound came from right behind me... Ah, damn it, who bit me?!”
Zhou Yue suddenly yelped as he was bitten, flying back involuntarily.
“Holy crap!! Zombies!! Zombies broke into the house!!!”
…
…
After clearing out the unexpectedly invading zombies, the four of them grabbed torches and circled the house for a thorough inspection.
They couldn’t find a single gap.
Finally, at Zhong Yi’s suggestion, they placed a few more torches and lit up the entire house — only then did no more zombies appear.
“Old Zhong, nice job!” Zhou Yue couldn’t help but praise.
“Heh, it was Mu junior brother who gave me the inspiration today,” Zhong Yi said.
While inspecting the house, Zhong Yi suddenly recalled the story Mu Yawen had told him that afternoon.
According to Mu, even in a sealed space where there was nothing, he had kept digging forward for a while — then suddenly a zombie bit him from behind.
Combining that with their recent experience, he made a bold hypothesis:
Zombies can spawn out of thin air in dark environments.
“Senior Brother Zhong, with so many zombies outside, this is a treasure trove of experience!” Mu Yawen said, looking at the endless horde beyond the wooden door, his heart stirring with excitement.
Killing zombies grants rotten flesh and experience points.
Although rotten flesh looks useless and even causes side effects when eaten;
experience points, on the other hand, are pure gold.
Right now, everyone has tasted the sweet thrill of leveling up and naturally wants to gain more levels.
But the number of monsters outside is overwhelming, and with their current gear, stepping out would be nothing short of suicide.
“I have a plan, and it might just work!”
Zhong Yi pondered for a moment, then suddenly had a bright idea.
The principle was simple.
Two people, one on the left and one on the right, would knock off the wooden boards in front of them to lure zombies closer.
While the monsters’ forces were divided, the other person would sneak out to quietly farm monsters.
Finally, one person would stay behind the wooden door to provide support.
Once this plan was proposed, it immediately won everyone’s approval.
So, the four of them executed Zhong Yi’s strategy one by one.
The teamwork paid off.
Each person fought one monster, then returned inside to eat and wait for their health to recover—it was going smoothly.
“Now it’s my turn, now it’s my turn!”
Zhou Yue, waiting behind the door, eagerly watched Zhou Qiaoling rush back inside.
As soon as Zhou Qiaoling stepped in, Zhou Yue immediately drew his stone sword and charged out.
“Who wants to die!!”
He let out a fierce roar.
A small green zombie turned its head and started walking toward him.
“Ugh, you’re useless, too tiny... and your experience must be low just by looking at you!”
Zhou Yue waved his hand with utter disdain.
“Go call your parents!”
But monsters aren’t exactly known for conversation.
“Hiss…”
The little green “zombie” walked straight toward him.
“Damn, finally my turn to fight, and I get a zombie kid? What rotten luck!”
Zhou Yue grumbled in frustration but had no choice but to rush forward.
“Old Zhong, this monster’s too weak. I’ll have to kill two before I can get in!”
“Got it, got it, hurry up!”
After getting the go-ahead from his teammate, Zhou Yue couldn’t help but grin as he walked over.
“Little zombie, little zombie, why aren’t you wearing any clothes? Don’t your parents care about you?”
“Hiss…”
At that moment, the green “little zombie” began to shimmer with white light.
“Oh? Getting angry now? What’s with the glow?”
Zhou Yue laughed, preparing to poke it with his sword.
The next second—
“Boom—!!”
A massive flash of white light erupted, accompanied by a deafening explosion.
“???”
Zhou Yue stared dumbfounded at the black-and-red screen.
Then he saw the death notice:
【“No Break, No Build” was blown up by a Creeper!】
Only then did he realize that the creature wasn’t a little zombie at all, but a monster called a Creeper.
What was worse, the Creeper’s explosion didn’t just kill Zhou Yue.
It also blew a huge hole in the house they had painstakingly built.
Instantly, zombies, spiders, bone demons, and more Creepers outside swarmed into the room.
Screams echoed inside.
“Old Zhou, you bastard!!”
“??? What does that have to do with me??”
“Damn, what kind of rare fire spirit root is this Creeper? Explodes like crazy!”
“Shit, I’m about to get bitten to death! Brother Mu, help me!!”
…
This scene immediately had the live stream chat spitting out laughs.
“Hahaha, this illusion is pure comedy gold.”
“What’s a Creeper? Might as well call it ‘Unlucky Fear’… Zhou really is the king of misfortune!”
【Even the Three Great True Disciples giving their all can’t survive a single night—how tough must this illusion be?】
【This looks too fascinating, I’m going to get one too!】
【Fellow cultivators, wait for me! Let’s go together!】
ut it can buy an entire year of absolutely perfect training results! Su Yu stared at his empty wallet and decisively opened up various online loan platforms. “Borrow a thousand bucks!

ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
