Chapter 150: Xiao Zhai's Family Members

Xiao Feng walked around the house and discovered some benefits of a private residence.

First is the storage function.

The market's warehouse storage is limited, only 100 grids; once full, you can no longer store anything.

And at home, as long as it's indoors, you can randomly throw things anywhere without issue; they will never be refreshed away, and any corner can be used as storage.

If you feel it's messy, you can also use a "cabinet".

One cabinet equals 50 grids; want more storage, buy more cabinets, never worry about not enough.

At home you can also practice life professions; just set an area as a "work zone", train secondary professions inside, and experience gains an extra 10%.

Moreover, when resting at home, the recovery speed of HP and MP also increases, twice as fast as outside.

After discovering this, Xiao Feng was so happy he couldn't stop grinning.

As long as he wears the God-Slaying Magic Robe, his MP regen per second becomes 100 points; at this speed, hatching a mount egg doesn't even need potions!

He had nothing urgent to do left or right, and his duel with Sword Slaying the Heavens was still more than ten hours away.

Xiao Feng was idle anyway, so he took out the mount egg from his pack, sat in the main hall of Xiao Zhai, and began hatching the egg.

The huge bird egg lay on the carpet; he pressed it with his hand, and a current continuously flowed from the shell, giving a numb feeling.

"Continue hatching the 【Aberrant Beast Egg】?" the system prompted.

"Yes."

Once the confirmation command was issued, the mount egg began drawing his mana.

-100

+100

-100

+100

One minus one plus, perfectly balanced, like a perpetual motion machine.

The hatching process is a bit boring; you need to keep it going for two hours to hatch the mount.

Xiao Feng opened his friend list, looking for someone to chat with.

"Old Li, how's your leveling going?" he contacted Li Li.

Li Li and the others had parted from him in Giant Elephant City five hours ago; now they've all reached level 68.

Upon receiving Xiao Feng's message, Li Li instantly replied: "Awesome! Miao Jie is really strong; we just cleared the level 85 main story dungeon, she soloed the boss, dealing damage and healing herself, taking down the boss in under two minutes—Old Zhang and Mang Mei combined output still can't match hers!"

"Of course, her weapon is beyond mythic, attack over seven thousand; Old Zhang can't even compare with his head." Xiao Feng laughed.

"Alas, poor our Dun Dun junior, she's been a tank half her life; after meeting you and Miao Jie, she's completely out of work." Li Li feigned a sigh.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

The knight profession little loli Dun Dun, previously because of his Otogu Curse, could not hold aggro at all.

Now the Otogu Curse is gone, but Xing Yun Miao's damage is off the charts, her threat higher than Dun Dun's, yet she still can't hold aggro.

For knight players, this is quite a blow.

Xiao Feng joked: "Back when we came out of the Lost Land, didn't I give you an unranked knight weapon? Give it to Dun Dun to use, and she'll be able to hold aggro."

"You think I don't want to? I gave it, but the junior refuses! She says the unranked mythic weapon is too precious, thinking I have ulterior motives to sleep with her, and she ran off faster than a rabbit!" Li Li replied speechlessly.

"Hahaha~" Xiao Feng burst out laughing at the words, commenting: "Looks like you're being too obvious. If worse comes to worst, change tactics—pretend to drop an artifact during a boss fight, then forcibly allocate it to her."

"Alas, the artifact's stats are all exposed, no chance to equip it now; you're just a Monday‑morning strategist!" Li Li said in a resentful tone.

After a while, he proactively asked: "Old Xiao, we've all heard the war zone announcement—there's a new Abyssal Battlefield mode to open; want to go check it out together?"

"Go, of course, I still have a quest." Xiao Feng answered decisively.

At the same time he remembered something, he paused the chat with Li Li, created a temporary group chat, and pulled Old Zhang, Old Li, and Xing Yun Miao in.

"Xiao Feng, what's up?" Xing Yun Miao, suddenly pulled into the group chat, asked doubtfully.

Xiao Feng said: "I'm still in War City; you probably can't teleport over yet, right?"

Zhang Fan replied: "Right, I just went to check the Teleportation Array; there's a War City option, but it's frozen and won't be usable for another 11 hours."

War City is still in the "rectification" state, many system functions are under emergency repair.

After 12 hours, most functions will be repaired, then players will be allowed in.

Of course, those eager to come play can also run overland from afar, like Xiao Feng and Shen Di and others, renting warhorses to cross the main city—just a few hours.

Otherwise, no one would be that bored.

Moreover, the 130‑150 level wild monsters on the road would also claim ordinary players' lives.

"Old Xiao, what's War City like? Any high‑end gameplay there? Give us the lowdown so we can seize the time and get ahead when we go!" Li Li inquired.

Xiao Feng didn't answer directly, but said: "I don't know that either; let me see if I can pull you straight here."

"Huh? Pull over? How?" The three were all puzzled.

Xiao Feng said: "The system rewarded me with a residence; the residence key works like a return‑town scroll, allowing cross‑region teleport home. I'll add you as household members and see if it works."

While speaking, he already entered their serial numbers on the House Master Token, adding them as household members.

"Huh! I got an email!" Xing Yun Miao was the first to exclaim in surprise.

"Me too!"

"Me too!"

Li Li and Zhang Fan promptly received the same system email.

Opening the email, an item directly appeared in the three's backpacks.

【Residence Order】: "Xiao Zhai" key; carrying this item lets you freely enter and exit Xiao Zhai and use the home's storage, crafting tools, etc., returning home immediately after use, limited to 10 times per day.

The sub‑key, compared to Xiao Feng's House Master Key, lacks the qualifications for remodeling and renaming; it can only reside and use furniture facilities.

The number of times to return home is the same, with no difference.

Xiao Feng said to the three: "You use the key, and by going home you can directly reach War City."

"How amazing! Let me go check it out first!" Xing Yun Miao exclaimed in surprise, being the first to use the "return home" function and entered Xiao Zhai.

The spot to return to the city is at the doorstep; stepping out leads straight to the Main City.

Xiao Feng was incubating eggs inside a residence 1600 meters away, and did not see her figure.

However, outside the gate, a cry of surprise could be heard from afar.

"My goodness! Is this your house? How huge!!" Xing Yun Miao shouted in astonishment.

The surroundings were completely empty, just like the monster outskirts; if not for the map showing this was the city center of War City, she would have thought she'd gone to the wrong place.

Li Li and Zhang Fan followed closely, teleporting into Xiao Zhai, and were also startled by the vast manor.

"Is this the reward for saving the Main City? Indeed, there's something to it..."

The two spoke with envy.

Xiao Feng was still incubating eggs indoors, not coming out to greet them, but in the chat group he said to the three: "War City currently has many opportunities that can be triggered; while there's no one around, go stroll the streets—you might pick up some hidden quests."

"Makes sense!" Zhang Fan said happily, and after speaking prepared to go out.

Li Li, however, did not leave immediately, but asked: "Old Xiao, does your household still have slots? Could you bring Dun Dun and Mang Mei over as well? Um, I mean just let them come over, and afterwards you can take back their qualifications."

Xiao Feng knew he didn't want to abandon his teammates.

Opening the host's token and taking a look, the household can have up to 100 members—this is nowhere near that limit.

He then nodded and said: "No problem."

Saying that, he repeated the previous operation.

Soon after, Dun Dun and Mang Mei also appeared in Xiao Zhai.

Xiao Feng said: "Go find quests to do; later I'll show you something nice."

"What nice thing? By the way, where are you? In the villa?" Li Li asked doubtfully.

"Keep it secret for now." Xiao Feng said mysteriously, driving all five of them out and not letting them enter the residence.

As for flying mounts and such, we'll wait until they hatch before showing them.
