Robot “Although it’s not a skill book for my own use, it’s still quite good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing’s face lit up with joy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>You see, the [GZ-Mark Robot] is indeed a divine early game skill for mechanics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>ƝονǤ0.ᴄ0\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only requires some iron and mechanical power to summon a robust Mark Robot that not only has ranged attack capabilities but also boasts incredible defensive power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It significantly enhances the survival ability of mechanics in the early stages.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This skill book, if brought to the market, would definitely cause a frenzy among the mechanics.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing continued to inspect his other spoils.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Black Iron

Iron Arm Guard is green equipment and its attributes are quite good.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Especially the second effect, which greatly increases my maximum attack range, awesome!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing didn’t hesitate to equip it, then checked his own attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Attributes: Click to

enhanced.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Compared to when I first arrived in this world yesterday, my strength has more than doubled!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A joyful expression appeared on Cao Xing’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, besides the equipment, he also had a bear gall and bear meat to enhance his attributes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, Cao Xing’s strength would increase even further.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After cleaning up all his gains, Cao Xing nodded satisfactorily, then turned around and said, “Let’s go, it’s time to head back.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They had been out for about an hour this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the return journey would take at least half an hour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing needed to make the most of all his time to develop his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the group returned to the camp, the warmth from the bonfire came in waves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Stomp…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stomp…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all shook off the snow from their feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing looked up at the sky, “Fortunately, it hasn’t snowed recently, if it had, moving in this horrible weather would be extremely difficult.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He turned to Assam next to him and said, “Assam, come over.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Assam immediately walked over with his body erect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing raised his magic wand, then a beam of green light hit Assam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Using the Ice Healing Skill successful, Talent [Eternal Power] activated, this skill has now become permanent.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Green +10, +10 numbers appeared above Assam’s head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Twice the healing value compared to before!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing was delighted inside, “Just as I thought!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The same skill applied to the same target, the lower attributes will be overridden by higher attribute enhancements.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the improvement in Cao Xing’s spiritual attribute, the effect of the Ice Healing Skill was naturally enhanced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, Assam could recover 10 life points per second, and combined with his terrifying defense, he was truly an indestructible force.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Cao Xing cast another Ice Armor Skill, adding 8 points of armor to Assam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t overlook his Frost Wolf either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swish!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swish swish!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A series of green lights shot out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing found that with the increase in spiritual power, the number of times he could cast magic also increased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And so far, he had not experienced any dizziness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After topping up Assam and Frost Wolf’s statuses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing said, “Assam, you did very well this time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Your next task is still to continue scouting the ten kilometers surrounding our camp.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mark all the resource points and monsters, and make sure to return to camp before dark.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Assam immediately responded respectfully, “As you command, Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your command is my destiny!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With that, he mounted Frost Wolf Winter and charged back into the snowy wilderness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing then turned to Yilena beside him, “Yilena, your task is to add the effects of [Snake-man Tribe Frenzy] and [Scale Armor] to the newly recruited Polar People.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Remember to rest when your spiritual power is low.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yilena extended her hand and nodded, “As you command, Lord.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, Cao Xing opened the [Resource Pack (Small)] he had just obtained from the Silver Treasure Chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Resource Pack opened successfully, you received Wood*100, you received Stone*50, you received Iron*10]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at his territory’s resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Food: Bread*45, Snake Meat*10, Wolf Meat*111, Bear Meat*1215]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Wood*314, Coal*124, Stone*153, Iron*110]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing joyfully exclaimed, “After setting up the logging field, the rate of obtaining wood has indeed increased a lot.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That coal mine has also started mining.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The next step is to construct the [Sewing Shop] and the [Ore Processing Plant].”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing summoned four Polar People.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He delegated the construction tasks to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he looked around the camp.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was already a circle of seven or eight small houses nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just one day, from an original small bonfire, so many buildings had sprung up,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>giving him a deep sense of achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue asked softly, “Axing, is there anything you need me to do?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing shook his head, “Not for now, Saozi, let’s go inside the house to warm up.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two of them entered the Lord’s Hut together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon entering, Liu Muxue naturally squatted by the stove, stretching out her hands to warm them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hoo~ It’s so warm~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A content smile appeared on the woman’s face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such icy and snowy conditions, warming oneself by a cozy hearth indeed felt blissful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, perhaps due to being too close to the stove, Liu Muxue’s forehead began to sweat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She took off the wolf skin coat she was wearing, revealing her curvaceous figure once again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she squatted down next to the stove to warm up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this position, Liu Muxue’s striking figure was perfectly displayed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially now, as Cao Xing was sitting on the bed, from this angle, he could fully appreciate her alluring body curves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her bust appeared larger due to the pressure of her knees, dazzling in its whiteness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Below her slender waist were her shapely hips, tightly encased in a black skirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue possessed a mature allure with just a hint of youthful naivete, making it hard to divert one’s eyes after a single glance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that moment, Liu Muxue seemed to notice that her stockings might have torn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her dainty, adorable toes intertwined beneath her delicate feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She looked up, somewhat embarrassed, and said, “Um… Axing, my stockings seem to have torn…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can I take them off and wash them first?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded, “Alright, there are a few buckets with water prepared, you can just make a new bucket.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue nodded her head lightly, seeming to want to say something else but finding it hard to broach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she stood by the bed and gently slid off her stockings, lifting her slender legs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It appeared to be the first time she performed such an action in front of another man, and Liu Muxue’s cheeks turned so red they seemed almost squeezable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She dared not meet Cao Xing’s eyes throughout the process.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Cao Xing saw the Liu Muxue without her stockings, her upper thighs seemed slightly plump while her lower legs were slender, eschewing the extremity of stick-thin.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simply perfect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing thought to himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue picked up her stockings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as she was about to stand up, she suddenly noticed some small mud spots on Cao Xing’s clothes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her face still flushed, Liu Muxue said, “Axing, your shirt seems to be dirty…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing looked down and indeed, there was a patch of black mud on the white shirt he wore before crossing over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking about it, it must have come from when he was lying on the ground using “Barrett.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instinctively, Liu Muxue said, “Why don’t you take it off, and I’ll wash it for you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, realizing how suggestive her words might sound, her face grew even redder, and she hung her head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing was stunned for a moment, but he didn’t overthink it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before the sewing shop was built, this was his only shirt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cao Xing nodded, “That would be troublesome, Saozi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing casually unbuttoned his shirt, revealing his sturdy upper body and muscular chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon seeing Cao Xing’s physique, Liu Muxue seemed taken aback and couldn’t help staring a few times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here you go, Saozi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Mhm…” Liu Muxue responded softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Blushing, she took the shirt from Cao Xing’s hands and started to scrub it at the side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swish swash…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound of water echoed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon after, Liu Muxue had both the stockings and Cao Xing’s shirt washed and hung them beside the stove to dry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, she carried a basin of steaming water over to Cao Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Um… Axing… I noticed there’s also a bit of mud on your chest…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“How about… I help you wipe down your body?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“`\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had intended to suggest that Cao Xing wipe himself, but for some reason, she blurted out the sentence above.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a moment, Liu Muxue felt utterly embarrassed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing also felt something was off about that sentence, but to spare Liu Muxue any embarrassment, he nodded and said, “Thank you, Saozi…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It’s…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s okay…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue sighed with relief, shyly responding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this point, Liu Muxue placed the basin beside Cao Xing, then crouched down slightly and soaked her hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, with cheeks flushing, she gently rubbed Cao Xing’s chest with both hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her delicate palms, softened by the warm water, felt slippery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In such close proximity, Cao Xing continuously inhaled the unique body fragrance emanating from Liu Muxue.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Liu Muxue’s movements were very stiff, making it obvious that this was her first time doing something like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warm touch continually moved across his chest, and Cao Xing distinctly felt Liu Muxue’s body temperature seemed to be rising.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A few minutes later, with flushed cheeks, Liu Muxue said, “Axing…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>it’s done…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing absently nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With her face still flushed, Liu Muxue took the basin away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To calm the turmoil within, Cao Xing put on his wolf skin coat and said, “Saozi, I need to step out for a bit to trade some supplies at the market.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay…” Liu Muxue responded in a low voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing then stepped out of the Lord’s Hut.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The icy cold outside struck him instantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Phew…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>stay calm, stay calm.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing took a deep breath, gradually becoming more composed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, he headed to the nearby “Market.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Next up, I need to sell off a batch of bear meat.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cao Xing knew that such food was best sold earlier rather than later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In a few days, when food was no longer a concern for everybody, the bear meat he possessed wouldn’t fetch a high price.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, Cao Xing opened the “World Channel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Takagaki Yasuko: “Wuuu…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My husband was killed by a snow wolf, and now it’s just me with two children.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is there anyone kind enough to take us in?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yan Xiaotao: “Madame from Japan, what’s your location?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’ll come to rescue you immediately!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t mean anything else; I just can’t stand to see people suffer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Alvarez: “Damn!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These recruited polar people need to eat too?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Our own family doesn’t have enough food, where am I supposed to get food to give them?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Abdul: “God!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I haven’t fed these polar people for a day now, and they’re not working either, just sitting outside the house.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I feel like they’re starting to give me weird looks!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Salman Khan: “My territory seems to be near an ice river, it looks like the Ganges River back home…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to yesterday, more and more people were understanding how to play the game.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They all began building Lord’s Huts and recruiting polar people to work.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But these polar people needed to eat, and thus, most survivors were troubled by the lack of food.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the current stage, the “Market” could only facilitate trading supplies with survivors in one’s own region.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, Cao Xing accessed the “Regional Channel.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yang Jiaqi: “Brothers, I ventured out today and at coordinates 12743, 6507, 15231, I discovered a wild camp inhabited by a group of masked individuals.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Ziheng: “Brother above, I advise you not to go there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those people are Ice Plain Wanderers, a bunch of crazy folks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My two polar people were killed by them.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Qian: “Is there any food available?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this heavy snow, it’s really hard to know where to find food.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shen Hongguang: “Exactly, in this damn place, how are we supposed to find food anyway?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>…\u003C\u002Fp>",2118,"2026-05-28T19:24:00.280Z","2026-06-01T04:28:50.701Z",1,"novelbin.me","310111e9afbbb342be450267d27855aaa33b7afcb5e486459c08fd56040e86c8","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-19","apocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-chapter-17",1544,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fapocalypse-descent-farming-with-my-harem-cover.jpg"]
