Chapter 129: The Three Women's Professions
After everyone finished eating and put away the bowls and chopsticks, Li Qingxuan gathered everyone in the living room and asked about the three's professions.
Wang Hongmei spoke first, her voice carrying a hint of simplicity: "I used to work in a clothing factory; after coming to this world, my awakened profession is Tailor, I can design clothing and generate a one-time blueprint; the clothing made will be more tough, with better protective effect."
Chen Xiulan then said: "I awakened as a Night Watcher; I can see in the dark night, and I can place vision at a designated spot and project that vision."
When it was Li Jing's turn, she lowered her head slightly, thought for a moment, and softly said: "I... I awakened as a Void Walker; I can turn my body into a mass of void, making it impossible for attacks to hit me."
Li Qingxuan thought for a while after hearing them, then said: "Wang Hongmei, you are familiar with clothing; from now on, everyone's clothing will be entrusted to you. Chen Xiulan, you will go out with us later; you will be responsible for monitoring the situation outside the fortress. Li Jing, you will help Feifei with whatever tasks you can manage; I haven't figured out how to use your current profession's abilities yet."
After hearing this, the three all nodded in agreement.
Li Qingxuan asked the three to send over their respective attributes.

After looking at them, Li Qingxuan glanced secretly at Li Jing, pressed down his suspicion, and encouraged the three: "We've only just arrived at the fortress not long ago, and we're all slowly adapting; as long as you're willing to work, there will be many opportunities here for you to use your abilities. Our fortress is like a big family; we help each other and together we'll build this home better."
Wang Hongmei, Chen Xiulan, and Li Jing, upon hearing Li Qingxuan's words, felt a warm current rise in their hearts, and they became more determined to live well in this fortress.
Afterwards, everyone prepared to go attend to their own affairs.
Wang Hongmei stopped everyone, led them into a bedroom, began taking measurements, and recorded their body information in a notebook.
In the living room, only Li Qingxuan, Huang Rong, and Chen Xiulan remained; the three put on their clothes and hats, sat on the Black Goat's back, and walked outward.
After walking out of the mist, at a point 20 meters ahead of the mist, they had Chen Xiulan set up her vision properly; the three patrolled around the Low Hill and the fortress. Chen Xiulan was initially a little excited, but soon after the patrol began, even wrapped in a blanket, her body kept shivering from the cold, and she couldn't help regretting not having listened to Li Qingxuan's advice.
After more than an hour, the three returned to the starting point, their clothes covered in frost; they went back into the mist, where a warm spring breeze blew over them, instantly dispelling the chill.
Chen Xiulan wrapped herself tightly in the blanket, her teeth still chattering uncontrollably; Huang Rong saw this, hurried into the kitchen, boiled a bowl of steaming ginger tea, and handed it to her.
Chen Xiulan took it, clasping the bowl tightly with both hands, feeling the warmth spread from her palms throughout her body; her purple‑tinged lips gradually regained their color.
Li Qingxuan stood to the side, brows slightly furrowed, thinking about how to improve everyone's constitution.
At that moment, Ling'er walked out of the Dance Room, saw the three in that state, and said heart‑brokenly: "You've finally come back; hurry inside to rest."
Ling'er helped Chen Xiulan into the Living Room; just as they sat down, Li Jing and Wang Hongmei came out of the bedroom.
Seeing the three return safely, Li Jing's eyes flashed with a hint of relief; she quickly walked to Chen Xiulan's side and softly asked: "Did you encounter any danger out there?"
Chen Xiulan looked at her concerned gaze, felt warm inside, smiled and shook her head: "Everything went fine; it's just that it was too cold outside, and I almost froze to death."
Wang Hongmei also stepped forward, took Chen Xiulan's hand, and said: "Drink some ginger soup quickly, don't let the cold make you sick."
Li Qingxuan went to the Storage Room, took out the spirit fruits obtained through trade, and distributed a few to each of them, saying: "Eat up; first raise your constitution to 20, then I'll think of something else."
The three received the spirit fruits, feeling the rich spiritual aura emanating from them, and their hearts filled with emotion.
Li Jing carefully held the spirit fruit, her eyes flashing with determined light; she knew this was the fortress's recognition of them, and also an opportunity for them to grow stronger.
She gently bit into the spirit fruit; sweet juice spread in her mouth, a warm current flowed down her throat and instantly spread throughout her body.
She could feel her body undergoing a subtle change; under the effect of the spirit fruit, it was gradually strengthening.
Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan also ate the spirit fruit one after another, closing their eyes to keenly sense the changes brought by the fruit.
After a while, the three opened their eyes simultaneously, their eyes filled with surprise.
They could clearly feel that their constitution had significantly increased; their bodies, which had been trembling from the cold, had now returned to normal.
Li Qingxuan looked at the three and nodded satisfied.
The three looked at Li Qingxuan in unison; they knew his kindness toward them, and in this world full of the unknown and danger, being able to selflessly share strength‑boosting items made them cherish this friendship immensely, even though Li Qingxuan still had many of these spirit fruits.
Li Jing spoke first, her voice soft yet firm: "Brother Li, thank you. We will surely work hard to become stronger and not disappoint your expectations."
Wang Hongmei and Chen Xiulan also nodded, their eyes full of gratitude and determination.
Li Qingxuan smiled and waved his hand, saying, "We're all family, no need to be so polite. Although our fortress isn't strong yet, as long as we work together, the future will surely keep getting better."
Upon hearing this, the three felt a stronger sense of belonging to the fortress, and their resolve to contribute their strength to it grew firmer.
Seeing the three return to the bedroom, Li Qingxuan then discussed the next steps with Huang Rong.
Upon hearing that Li Qingxuan planned to seek weird creatures on the Icefield to boost his own strength, Huang Rong, hearing this, expressed her willingness to join, saying it was not only an opportunity to enhance Li Qingxuan's strength but also a chance to train herself.
