"Rin, Lin, the both of you should stay here for now, also, I'll be selling off your company as well." Jin spoke as they were in the middle of eating their dinner.

Hearing this, both Rin and Lin felt quite confused.

"Brother, what's wrong? Did we do something bad?" Lin asked.

Jin smiled and shook his head: "No, I just need as much money as I can as I'm creating something that we seriously need."

Rin could not help but contemplate, she heard that her brother had sold his company already.

Just a few days ago, her brother had a lot of plans to expand his company and made quite a lot of money in the process as well.

To think that he had sold his company after so many months of painstaking efforts?

But still, it's their brother's money and they merely helped with increasing its value by quite a bit.

They didn't even hesitate to accept it, but they merely were just confused as to why their brother was doing such a thing.

"Well, whatever, it just means that we will have no more problems to deal with." Rin sighed and nodded her head.

Lin also nodded: "Well, it's our family's company, so I guess whatever you think we need should go without a doubt."

Jin smiled and nodded his head: "Well, thanks for trusting your brother."

Lin and Rin chuckled as they smiled at him: "Well, we would probably be working in a random place if it wasn't for you brother."

Jin smiled.

But at this time, they remembered something at the same time!

The three of them looked at Ruyan who was quite sullen as she stared on the ground.

Right, it's her only way of earning money! Her only family, her mother is relying on it!

Jin immediately thought of something and smiled: "Well, selling the company does not really mean that we're firing the employees."

"But since it was abrupt, we will be paying you a compensation of 30,000." Jin smiled, pausing for a bit, he added: "Well, we'd like to invite you and your mother as well for the thing that I was making, please take care of my sisters for me while I am gone."

Hearing this, Ruyan wanted to reject the money at first, but clearly, this small amount of money wouldn't be a problem for any of these three siblings.

And she really needs a lot of money for her mother's continued medications.

She stood up and bowed: "Thank you, I will do my very best to support both Rin and Lin."

Hearing this, Jin smiled, from this event, he probably wouldn't be together with Ruyan anymore in the future.

Still, as his previous lover, he would do his very best to provide her with the very best place to live in that apocalyptic world. And, he guessed that whatever happens will happen.

After another hour, they finished their dinner and went their separate ways, the three beautiful girls went back to Rin and Lin's own condominium, while Jin left his car in front of their house.

It seemed they left their car at the university, hence, they didn't have a way of transport.

Jin would rather suffer and walk than let his sisters do it.

It was already 9:00 PM and there were fewer and fewer available cabs, Jin couldn't even ride one.

At this time, a bus stopped in front of him.

He looked at the destination and immediately boarded.

Although he didn't have cash, the world is quite advanced already, hence, with his phone, he could probably pay for everything.

The bus was quite packed.

Jin looked and found a vacant seat, but beside it was quite a weird woman, her silky black hair definitely told him that she was taking care of it regularly, like one of those rich princesses of families. But she's wearing a hat, sunglasses, and a face mask.

He couldn't see any detail about her face at all, not a single bit.

He sat down and immediately closed his eyes, trying to think of some things to do for his preparations.

After a long while, Jin opened his eyes.

But he was quite dumbfounded as he looked at this girl's face, who was staring at him intently.

"Y-yes?" Jin was quite shocked that he even stuttered.

But for some reason, he felt that this person was quite familiar to him.

"Hey, are you coming back from work?" The covered woman asked.

Jin couldn't help but look at her in confusion, her smell, she really smelled familiar to him, he even started doubting whether he had become a dog after he returned back from time.

She had no cologne or perfume, but her smell really felt familiar to him for some reason.

Usually, he would just ignore such questions, but out of his own curiosity, he couldn't help but reply: "No, I'm coming back from eating."

The lady nodded her head (so, he was job hunting and couldn't get a job and decided to just eat outside huh? -her thoughts), she smiled underneath her mask and asked again: "Do you have a job?" (Just in case you're just planning to hop to another job because you wanted to have a higher salary).

Jin couldn't help but smile as he shook his head: "No."

The lady nodded (So, it was the first one.).

She then looked at Jin from top to bottom and couldn't help but smile once more: "You know, you're really my type."

Jin couldn't help but be stunned for a bit before chuckling: "Really, that's quite weird."

She nodded once more: "What's your educational background?"

Jin: "I just finished high school and stopped there."

She nodded again: "Hmm, this is quite troublesome, my parents will have a hard time accepting this."

"Accepting what?" Jin asked.

She couldn't help but act cutely as she blurted out her inner thoughts instead of just thinking about it.

She couldn't help but chuckle: "Hey, how about being my husband?"

"I will support you and you can start your own business, how about it?"

"Well, as a bonus, I wouldn't care if you have another woman other than me." She added with a slight chuckle.

Jin couldn't help but be shocked, this girl in front of him was quite bold, daring actually.

It's like a free-spirited young woman, she's probably doing this to avoid arranged marriages from her family.

Then, at this time, that certain woman appeared in his memories.

It was her, his 4th lover, right?

Jin's stoic face suddenly brightened a bit as he stared at the girl with her jet-black hair.

He remembered her story, before everything happened, she was being forced by her family to marry a rich old tycoon and tie up their company, just when she was about to end everything, she witnessed the river freeze, like the god seemingly stopping her from doing it.

"Nalan." Jin couldn't help but utter.

Nalan Reid, the spirited woman who kept everyone's morale up! Also, excluding the captain of their survivor group, Nalan Reid was the strongest of them all!

She had died protecting Jin as they were escaping from the pursuit of 100 Razorback Pandas.

Just remembering how she held back those 100 monsters back then while letting him escape, made his heart pound once more.

Nalan was quite shocked, she glanced at Jin and couldn't help but ask: "How did you know me? Stalker? Are you my stalker?"

Jin woke up from his daze and chuckled: "Oh, your name is Nalan as well?"

"I had a friend that had black hair as beautiful as yours, remembering her, I was quite dazed."

"Oh... I thought you were my stalker, well, in your case, I guess I could call you my admirer?" Nalan joked about it, still, she kept complete vigilance against Jin, in case, you know about those bad people.

Jin couldn't help but smile: "Well, I'd be honored if you think about me like that."

Nalan could not help but chuckle: "Well, what do you think about my offer? Marry me and I'll give you a monthly allowance of 17,000, also, you can have a minimum of 3,000 spending money for clothes and other miscellaneous stuff. So, what do you think?"

Jin then looked at her and replied to her question: "Oh, that's quite an offer that's hard to reject."

"Right?" Nalan smiled cheerfully.

Jin nodded his head: "Right."

Jin couldn't help but be amazed at the coincidenses of life. To think in a single day, he had met two of his lovers from his previous life.

But after thinking about it, all the survivors from his group were from the same city, well, almost 95% of them are!

    "Release them all?" Kastor asked.Chuckling, Jin nodded his head: "Yeah, with that, it will gather monsters left and right and destroy the chaos guild as much as they can!""Not only will it save us so much trouble, but it will also save the city as a whole!" Jin added with a smirk on his face.Meanwhile, Kastor looked at Yanruo.The latter frowned.Kastor and the rest knew of the cons of this plan, it may attract monsters to close in on the city, endangering its citizens.But, the Chaos guild will have to suffer and will be the one responsible for killing the ones heading to the city.With the plan intact, it would mean that, at most, there is only a slim chance of monsters coming back to the city.Yanruo looked at Kastor, not only was he one of her most trusted people in the city, he was also one of the pillars supporting it!And if they could deal a massage amount of damage to the Chaos Guild while keeping Kastor and the rest safe, it's a very much win-win situation for them!She l

    "Clear it out as fast as all of you can!" Yanruo ordered, immediately, all of the experts from the three sides had started bombarding the monkeys.Meanwhile, one of the Raiki clan's members approached Yanruo."Patriarch Su!" The man clasped his fists together and saluted."What is it? We're quite tight on time now." Yanruo asked."I will be sending a message back to the Patriarch, hence, I would like to request for a minute of break." Hearing this, Yanruo nodded her head: "Okay, finish it as quickly as possible!""Yes!" The man immediately sat cross-legged and started using the Raiki clan's secret communication technique.Yanruo glanced at it and then started bombarding the monkeys once more.It took roughly 10 minutes before their numbers halved.Due to the massive massacre of the monkeys, the rest of them who had seen the sight refused to further use the passage of death.Due to the panic as well, the monkeys started to spread apart like there was no tomorrow.Seeing this, Kaster

    With the plan going on, other than Yanruo, everyone remained at the same spot.It took around three hours for Yanruo and soon, she came back."I'm done." Yanruo landed and whistled cutely as she smiled at Jin: "Well, we can start now."Jin nodded his head: "Alright, but I think I'm forgetting something really important."Kaster patted his shoulder: "Well, if you forgot it, it's probably not that important right?"Hearing this, Jin nodded his head, but there was this something in his consciousness that told him that he needs to remember it as fast as he could!Kaster then smiled at everyone: "Then, I'll be destroying these monkeys now, I'll leave the exit to all of you.""Yes!" Everyone responded.Their group are composed of highly experienced A+ and S-ranked experts, hence, handling this monkey when they are only escaping in a single location is no big deal.They won't even sweat!"Alright, as you guys kill these monkeys, don't forget to get its monster cores!" Kaster reminded them."

    As Yanruo was following the one that reported, she asked: "What kind of beasts?"The Lan clan member was about to send a signal but was immediately jolted by Yanruo's question."Ah, it was a horde of Orange Crazed Monkeys." He reported.Yanruo immediately looked at him: "Don't send a signal, gather the team from the left, I'll have Kaster gather the people from the right.""Y-yes!" The expert nodded and immediately moved back.Yuro wasn't even shocked, but Jin was confused, he looked at Yanruo and asked: "Why didn't we send the signal light?"Seeing that it was the fastest way to gather everyone, he was quite confused at this.Yanruo looked at Jin, she pitied this person, after all, his knowledge about monsters was limited due to the people around him.Hence, Yanruo then started to explain: "The orange crazed monkeys aren't really a problem, it's their tactics that are troublesome.""What do you mean?" Jin asked.Yanruo sighed, it seemed that the people on Jin's side were so strong, t

    Yanruo was quite excited as she started continuing "Well, just so you both know, only the ancestors of each clan could fight 1v1 against a tier-7 monster and win, although they are also all S+ ranked, they are actually that strong."Jin then asked: "Wait, is the S+ ranked the highest rank there is?"Hearing this, Yanruo was quite shocked, but still, she smiled: "Well, our city had only produced S+ ranked even from the beginning of times.""Well..." Yanruo paused for a bit before glancing at Jin: "Unless there is someone that will show us a way to break through from it."As she said those words, her gaze intensified, hinting about something, but Jin merely stared at her with an unknowing smile.Yanruo couldn't help but sigh, Jin is quite formidable indeed.Then, she continued and told the story."Well, in our previous place, the Solar Blaze Empire, the major clans of the city that you're familiar with were just small clans.""Compared to the truly massive clans, our clans were quite we

    A few days had passed, in the dead of the night.It was the time for departure.Right now, Jin is with Yuro and Kaster, their body is covered by robes.There are at least 24 people here, most of them are from the Lan clan, while there are two from the Rayki clan and two from the Su clan.Right now, everyone is wearing a mask, so, only a few could really tell who the other person is.With that, they used the secret door to the south and stealthily rushed out of the gates.Unlike them though, Jin was a special case, for some reason, Yuro and another one from the Su clan grabbed him in the shoulder as they dashed away.It was only about two minutes, but they couldn't even see the city anymore, only the light that came from it.They rushed even more and only stopped after 30 minutes.There were four people that was tasked to erase their tracks, while the rest just kept on following Kaster.As soon as they made sure that they were far enough, everyone took off their mask.Then, two of the

    After a long while of checking, Jin finally finished a list.It's kind of weird that many condiments that they had are the most expensive ones.But then, the three most essential condiments for his cusine are gone, and what are those?Soy sauce, fish sauce, and vinegar.Other than those three, many others are missing, but these three are the most used condiments in his world.After all, almost all of the dishes, including these three, could be added.For soy sauce, he had purchased quite a lot of seeds for them, the same for vinegar, after all, he had the two famous ones, apples, and grape seeds.Truthfully, these fruits are the best to be planted in this weather, just, not that much.After pondering for a while, he also added a few more to his list, it also seemed that in this city, chickens are nowhere to be seen, it's quite the fastest-growing livestock as well, eggs! Even without the rest of the food, eggs are quite a vital source of nutrients, and one could eat it for a whole ye

    Jin learned the skills in the meditation room within just a few seconds, hence, all of the time he had spent in the room was used to try the skills.He wanted to repay the Rayki clan, but how?What even is the value of the skills he has learned?He does not have a single clue about it!But, based on the grades and ranks of these skills, it's probably worth every single thing he had!If he was selling it, he'd probably ask for so many things, even the world's wealth!It's just that massive.Soon, Jin stepped out of the martial hall, there, the one that had escorted him was waiting.Jin smiled: "I'm done."The escort nodded and brought Jin back to the Rayki clan's guest hall.After he arrived, he noticed that everyone was sitting and is eating their food.Then, he saw Yuro.He was about to go to her, when he remembered the manners of the novels that he had read.Heading to the Rayki Clan's patriarch, he immediately clasped his hands out of respect and uttered: "I am done, thank you for
