Elric didn't hesitate at all. The first functional room he chose was the System Premium Love Room.
There was no complicated reason behind it.
Whether it was getting stronger, gathering supplies, or building shelters—everything ultimately served one purpose: his own enjoyment.
Strength was a means. Pleasure was the goal.
The love room might not provide combat power or strategic advantages, but as long as it could make him—and his women—happy, that alone was enough.
Buzz—
As Elric confirmed the selection, the building in front of him flashed with a soft white glow. The first floor transformed instantly, the floor and walls shifting into a warm pink tone, filled with a gentle, seductive atmosphere.
The first premium love room was complete.
Without stopping, Elric selected the remaining four functional rooms.
First, a System Premium Laboratory—this was a promise he had made to Elizabeth.
Second, a System Premium Infirmary. It might not be used often, but in the apocalypse, it was something that could never be missing.
Third, a System Premium Bathroom, purely for enjoyment.
Fourth, a System Premium Cinema, also for relaxation and pleasure.
He did consider the video game room and the gym as well, but the slots were already full. Those would have to wait for future upgrades.
"Alright," Elric said calmly."Let's take a look around first."
With the five functional rooms completed, glowing entrances appeared at the front of the five-story building. Elric waved for the women to follow and led them inside.
The moment they entered, exclamations erupted.
They hadn't expected that an apocalypse-era base would contain this level of entertainment.
Elric himself walked through every floor carefully, finally understanding what the system meant by premium.
The cinema was far beyond anything outside. Films from every era and every country were available, all in ultra-high definition. Not only mainstream movies—there were also… more private categories, clearly prepared with intention.
The bathroom was even more impressive.
Sauna rooms, shower rooms, bucket baths, miniature hot spring pools, and even private dual baths—five different bathing areas, each fully equipped with top-tier toiletries.
The infirmary contained advanced medical equipment and a wide range of medicines.
Unfortunately, even after searching carefully, Elric still couldn't find the allergy medication that Oli needed.
The laboratory was completely incomprehensible to him.
The instruments, containers, and devices looked like something from a sci-fi film. Elric didn't understand any of it—but Elizabeth's reaction said everything.
Her eyes were shining.
She was genuinely, completely satisfied.
Finally, there was the love room—Elric's personal favorite.
Everything inside could only be described as complete. Waterbeds, specialized furniture, outfits, and props—details that didn't need to be explained out loud.
Elric stayed in the love room with the women and didn't leave for a long time.
With a place like this, why would he?
Of course, there were three exceptions among the eleven women.
Elizabeth stayed in the laboratory, completely absorbed. Shasha was in the bathroom, taking a long, careful bath.Oli lingered in the infirmary, still unwilling to give up on finding a way to treat her face.
After more than two hours, Elric received a large number of material rewards. The supplies in his system space piled up like small mountains.
Only then did he leave the love room.
He went first to the laboratory on the second floor.
Elizabeth was surrounded by instruments, completely focused. Naturally, Elric conducted some very hands-on "research" with her.
Afterward, Elizabeth shot him a fierce glare and limped back to her experiments, refusing to say another word.
Next, Elric went to the bathroom area.
Shasha had already finished bathing.
Gone was the deliberately dirty, ugly disguise she wore before. Now she soaked quietly in a small hot spring pool, her long hair damp, her face flushed, peeking out shyly as she looked at him.
It was obvious she had been waiting.
Elric didn't keep her waiting.
He stepped forward and accepted her.
Ding. Congratulations to the host for successfully adopting a new eligible adopter.Devil Fruit Tree Growth +1.
A new Devil Fruit has begun growing.
Ding. Successful communication completed.Reward unlocked: 200,000 servings of common fresh vegetables.
Elric glanced at the mountain of vegetables that appeared in his system space and didn't dwell on it for long.
Instead, he turned his attention toward the Devil Fruit Tree, his eyes filled with anticipation.
Something new… was growing again.
Elric looked at the pure white Devil Fruit growing quietly on the tree and couldn't help but smile.
It was the String Fruit—the Devil Fruit once wielded by the so-called King of the Underworld, a former Warlord, a man who had once shaken the seas.
In the right hands, this fruit could be terrifying.
Flying by riding clouds of threads.Creating massive cages to trap entire regions.Repairing internal organs with precision.Manipulating others like puppets.
Some people said the String Fruit itself wasn't that strong—that it only looked powerful because its former user was exceptional.
Elric disagreed.
A strong user mattered, yes—but a fruit that could be developed to that extent was never weak to begin with.
Otherwise, no matter how talented someone was, they could never push it that far.
At that moment—
Grrr~
A soft, embarrassed sound came from beside him.
Shasha, standing next to Elric, froze instantly. Her face flushed as she lowered her head.
"I… I'm sorry," she said softly."I haven't had a proper meal in three days."
Elric didn't say anything.
He simply reached into his space and took out a roasted lamb shank, placing it directly in front of her.
Shasha stared.
The food had appeared out of thin air.
For a second, she forgot everything else. Then hunger completely overtook her dignity, and she started eating with desperate speed.
Watching her, Elric spoke calmly.
"If you behave, follow my rules, and stay loyal—you can eat like this every day."
"And in the future," he added lightly,"you might even gain the same kind of power they have."
"I don't lie about things like this."
Shasha froze mid-bite.
"R-Really…?"
Her eyes trembled, then lit up with emotion.
...
After finishing their tour of the functional areas, Elric led everyone toward the residential zone of the air base.
The living quarters were spacious, clean, and fully powered—air conditioning, bathrooms, lighting, all functioning perfectly.
The most luxurious suite—a two-bedroom residence with a living room—naturally belonged to Elric.
The thirty high-grade rooms were distributed among the women.
The basic rooms were assigned to Grace and Lily, along with any future attendants who might arrive later.
If the base was upgraded again, there would be even more rooms.
Everyone happily chose their rooms.
Everyone—except Oli.
She stood still, looking at Elric, saying nothing.
Elric understood immediately.
She didn't know where she belonged.
She wasn't a maid—but she wasn't his woman either.
At the same time, she was reminding him of something else.
The medicine.
Elric looked at her for a moment, then spoke.
"Clean up first," he said."After that, come with me to the city hospital."
Oli's eyes widened slightly.
Elric had been busy enjoying himself these past few days. He hadn't forgotten her—but he had delayed.
And honestly, she had endured more than most.
Quiet. Withdrawn. Often pushed aside.Doing more work than a maid, yet never complaining.
It was time.
The city's largest hospital would definitely have what she needed.
