Apocalypse Descent: Farming with My Harem

[Fallen Soul: The soul of a Guardian from an ancient kingdom, now tainted by the evil aura of a mysterious presence, fallen into a filthy Snow Demon.]

(If you can find a Holy Altar to purify the Fallen Soul, you’ll gain the friendship and special rewards of that ancient kingdom.)

…

[Brass Ancient Coin: An extremely ancient coin, no longer in circulation on the Continent, engraved with Space Magic symbols.]

(Collect 100 Brass Ancient Coins to exchange for 1 Ancient Treasure Box, which may contain Ancient Weapons, schematics, or other vanished items.)

…

The first three items were parts of the Snow Demon, which Cao Xing directly stored in his backpack.

As for the Brass Ancient Coin.

Seeing the description, Cao Xing pondered, “Can exchange for Ancient Weapons, similar to this Barrett in my hand?”

“I remember this thing has the prefix of Ancient Weapon too.”

Needing to collect 100 to exchange, and with only 2 dropped per Snow Demon, Cao Xing would have to slay fifty Snow Demons to redeem one Ancient Treasure Box.

Clearly, this wasn’t something he could accomplish now.

Shaking his head, he stored all these items.

Under Assam’s protection, Cao Xing returned to the territory.

The commotion earlier had awakened all the subjects from their sleep, including Liu Muxue who also came out of the hut.

They were all anxiously watching the battle outside the territory.

The Snow Demon’s ferocity terrified these subjects.

But fortunately, the powerful Lord and his subordinates managed to take down this Snow Demon!

Watching their fervent eyes,

Cao Xing clapped his hands and said, “Alright, it’s over, everyone go back and rest, we need to work early tomorrow.”

The subject, Cao Yi, immediately took the lead and said, “As you command, Lord, your power protects us, allowing us to have peaceful nights.”

“Praise the great Lord!”

Then, all the subjects hurried into their warm shelters.

Cao Xing also led Liu Muxue back to the Lord’s Hut.

As they passed the Sewing Shop, he saw Xia Yanni leaning by the door.

Cao Xing nodded, signaling that everything was okay.

Xia Yanni wore a relieved smile, then also lightly nodded.

After returning to the Lord’s Hut, Cao Xing and Liu Muxue embraced and slept.

Nothing special occurred in the latter half of the night.

The next morning, just as day broke.

A system prompt appeared.

[Survivors, please note! You have passed the fifth night of the Ice Seal Age, today will be the last day of the newbie protection period, after tonight, there will be some changes to the game content, please be prepared.]

[Newbie protection period remaining time: 22 hours…]

[Weather forecast: Breezy, damp cold temperature, suitable for going out, developing the territory.]

…

Cao Xing and Liu Muxue both woke up.

Seeing the system prompt, Cao Xing pondered, “Is it the last day of the newbie protection period?”

“Given the danger level of this world, once the newbie protection period is over, quite a few people will probably die.”

Hearing this, Liu Muxue’s eyes also showed worry.

Last night’s Snow Demon invasion made her realize the snowfields at night weren’t safe.

Besides the Snow Demon, there was the forthcoming expansion pack: Giant Dragon Resurgence.

A large number of Ice Nest Monsters would appear in every corner of this world.

Plus the roaming beasts in the snowfields, those crazed Hunters, and the Alien Ghost Army not yet encountered.

Danger was ubiquitous.

These monsters could take away the lives of many survivors.

However, when she thought about the strength of this territory, her worries gradually dissipated.

As for the lives of others, Liu Muxue wasn’t too concerned.

She couldn’t be blamed for this, in this world, it was hard enough to protect oneself.

Cao Xing said, “Get up, Muxue, freshen up, we need to go out and assign work to the subjects.”

“Mm-hmm.”

Liu Muxue responded softly, but before getting up, she embraced Cao Xing’s neck and gave him a kiss.

Cao Xing smiled.

A few minutes later, the two walked out of the Lord’s Hut.

At this moment, a large crowd stood on the empty ground outside.

Seeing Cao Xing come out, their eyes lit up instantly, and they all greeted him.

“Honorable Lord, good morning, may you be healthy.”

“Beautiful Lord’s Wife, good morning, may you always be as lovely as a flower.”

Cao Xing chuckled, these Natives were quite eloquent, their morning greetings were different every day.

“Dazhuang.”

Hearing Cao Xing call him, Dazhuang the Polar Person immediately stepped forward, spoke solemnly, “Lord, what are your orders?”
