Chapter 13: Reyta

Li Siqi quickly pushed Ye Nan away, her face flushed deeply with embarrassment. She shot Ye Nan a fierce glare before turning around and going into her room to change her sanitary pad. Ye Nan wiped the corner of his mouth and glanced again at Li Siqi’s figure, especially those stunningly long legs clad in sheer black stockings—irresistibly alluring. Although she was on her period... Heh heh heh. Suddenly, a bold thought sparked in Ye Nan’s mind.

Gong Wanru teased, “Everyone’s gone, why are you still staring?” Ye Nan snapped back, “You two third wheels are spoiling my fun. Just wait and see how I punish you tonight.” Yan Ruoliu sighed, “Where do you get so much energy every day?” Ye Nan replied, “If I were a weakling, you two would be complaining about that too.” Yan Ruoliu shot back, “Get lost. You can’t expect pearls from a dog’s mouth. Wanru, come on, let’s cook.”

After the two women left, Ye Nan took out the crystal core and began absorbing its energy. Half an hour later, darkness fell. Ye Nan had finally absorbed the crystal core completely. Suddenly, a roaring sound echoed in his mind, as if something had been pierced open—an exquisite sensation. He realized he had broken through. He was now a bona fide Level 2 superhuman.

“Huh, I’ve actually gained a new skill!” Ye Nan rejoiced. When his powers first awakened, he was only a low-level Level 1 superhuman and had acquired the Thunder Sword. Now as a Level 2 superhuman, the new skill should be even more formidable. Thunder Tower! Ye Nan discovered that his consciousness was connected to a thunder tower—vivid and imposing, crackling with potent lightning.

He tried to summon the entire tower but could only manifest a 3 by 4 meter tower gate floating before him, which linked to the thunder tower in his mind. “What use could this skill possibly have?” Ye Nan pondered.

Just then, the three women came into the courtyard calling him to eat. “I’ve reached Level 2 and gained a new skill,” Ye Nan announced. “Really?” Li Siqi’s face lit up with excitement. “That’s wonderful! We must celebrate tonight. Fortunately, Sister Gong still has some fine red wine at home.” Gong Wanru stared curiously at the floating tower gate and asked, “Is this gate your new skill?” Ye Nan nodded and explained, “Yes, and inside my mind is a huge thunder tower connected to this gate, but I don’t know what it’s for.”

“Can it attack?” Gong Wanru asked. “No,” Ye Nan replied. “Let me test its sturdiness first. If it’s strong enough, it could block attacks like bullets or crossbow bolts, which would be a handy skill.” Yan Ruoliu grabbed a fruit knife and stabbed it hard against the tower gate. To their astonishment, the fruit knife vanished. Yan Ruoliu exclaimed, “Where did my fruit knife go?” Gong Wanru and Li Siqi were equally amazed.

“Huh?” At the same moment, Ye Nan sensed something—the fruit knife had been absorbed into the thunder tower linked to the gate. His eyes widened in shock. “Could this be... a dimensional space?” Concentrating, Ye Nan willed the fruit knife back from the tower, and it immediately reappeared in his hand.

Amazing! The thunder tower was indeed a dimensional space, and the tower gate acted as a portal! Ye Nan had assumed only those with spatial abilities could access such powers, but it turned out his lightning ability was a rare variant with this function. Jackpot!

He eagerly shared the news with the three women, who were all stunned. Gong Wanru exclaimed, “So you have a storage space ability?” Ye Nan smiled, “Exactly.” “How large is the internal space?” she asked. “About a million cubic meters,” Ye Nan answered. “I think the space will grow as my power increases.”

Gong Wanru drew a deep breath. “Congratulations. This ability is insanely powerful—gathering supplies will become so convenient.” “Yeah,” Ye Nan agreed. Li Siqi asked, “Can it store living things?” Ye Nan wasn’t sure, so he caught an ant in the yard and placed it inside the thunder tower. But when he retrieved it, the ant was dead. He shook his head. “Looks like it only stores inanimate objects, not living ones.”

Li Siqi sighed with regret. “If it could store living things, you could just tuck us inside whenever there’s danger. Oh well, my wish is dashed.” Ye Nan was philosophical. “I’m just grateful to have spatial abilities at all—I don’t need more.”

Yan Ruoliu suddenly wondered, “If you put hot food inside, will it stay hot or get cold?” “Is the food ready?” Ye Nan asked. “Of course,” she said. Ye Nan went to the living room, opened the tower gate, and stored all the dishes from the table inside. After half an hour, he retrieved the food and examined it carefully. It was still hot, unchanged. Apparently, anything stored inside the tower remained perfectly preserved, never spoiling.

Li Siqi smiled. “Then we won’t need a fridge anymore. We can keep vegetables and frozen meat in your thunder tower forever—what a blessing.” Indeed, the practicality was impressive. At dawn, they planned a shopping spree at the supermarket—grab anything and everything, since nothing would ever expire inside the tower. A blissful life in the apocalypse awaited.

Next, Ye Nan asked the three women to throw various items at him, all of which he absorbed directly into the space. Finally, for the ultimate test, he asked Gong Wanru to fire a gun at him. She hesitated, worried about safety, but under Ye Nan’s firm insistence, she complied.

The result was the same: the tower gate opened, and the bullet was absorbed into the thunder tower. After the test, all four erupted with joy. This thunder tower was truly astonishing—not only a dimensional space for storing goods but also a protective shield capable of absorbing attacks. Incredible!

Ye Nan told Gong Wanru and Yan Ruoliu to cook more dishes since with the thunder tower, food shortages were a thing of the past. Tonight was a night for celebration—a day to remember.

At the dining table, their spirits soared as they uncorked an expensive bottle of red wine. “Come, everyone, let’s toast to never worrying about food again,” Ye Nan raised his glass. The three women clinked glasses with him and drank it down.

Ye Nan grinned mischievously. “Drinking like this is boring. Let’s play dice—loser takes off an article of clothing.” Li Siqi huffed, “You’re shameless! It’s obvious you’re just after our bodies—disgusting.” “Then let’s try something else,” Ye Nan said, taking Li Siqi’s hand and sitting beside her, smiling warmly. “Come on, darling, let’s do a crossed-cup toast.”

“You’re asking for trouble!” Li Siqi blushed, both shy and angry. But she gave in, linking arms with Ye Nan and drinking the crossed-cup toast in front of Gong Wanru and Yan Ruoliu.

Afterward, Li Siqi reminded, “Don’t forget Sister Gong and Sister Yan. You can’t favor one over the other.” Yan Ruoliu laughed and scolded, “Looks like you’ve gone bad, Siqi, dragging us into this mess.” Li Siqi argued, “It’s called sharing blessings and hardships. We should unite so this bad guy doesn’t bully us.” Yan Ruoliu looked plaintive—they were already being bullied.

Ye Nan, of course, treated them all equally and shared crossed-cup toasts with Gong Wanru and Yan Ruoliu as well. Surprisingly, this playful interaction was quite enjoyable.

“Come on, eat up!” Ye Nan invited. Both Gong Wanru and Yan Ruoliu were excellent cooks, having prepared a sumptuous feast that whetted everyone’s appetite.

Ye Nan picked up a piece of twice-cooked pork and savored it, the flavors lingering on his tongue. Glancing at the lovely women around him, he felt as if he were dreaming. Gong Wanru, Yan Ruoliu, and Li Siqi were all stunning beauties, not only flawless in appearance but with exquisite figures—curvaceous and shapely. Having even one of them would be a blessing from heaven; yet Ye Nan held them all close—envy-inducing indeed.

His heated gaze roamed over the three women as he wondered who he would spend the night with. Sensing his eyes, the women lowered their heads, focusing on their meal and avoiding his stare.

Suddenly, Ye Nan felt a discreet kick. Surprised, he looked up to see Li Siqi winking at him with a mischievous, suggestive look. She smiled triumphantly, preparing to retract her long, perfect leg, but Ye Nan’s hand gently grasped it.

If anything about Li Siqi was irresistibly sexy, it was those impossibly long legs—175 centimeters tall, perfectly proportioned, straight and flawless, more stunning than a professional leg model’s. Ye Nan caressed them carefully, as if fondling a piece of the finest warm jade.
