Chapter 20: Sleeping Can Level Up Your Territory; Exquisite Twin Sisters Voluntarily Take Over the N
Lin Xian threw himself into the zero-gravity waterbed that covered fifty square meters.
The intelligent water waves, capable of automatically adjusting to the human skeleton, instantly enveloped his sore muscles.
The moment he closed his eyes, the system's crisp electronic voice rang in his mind.
"Ding! Host has entered a deep sleep state. Territory automatic upgrade program activated."
"While the host is in a high-quality sleep, the territory's tech tree and defense system will upgrade imperceptibly."
Lin Xian didn't even bother to turn over; he smacked his lips and fell into a deep sleep.
The thing workers lack most is sleep. Now you can upgrade your base while you sleep. This is the life a human should live.
As he breathed evenly, the entire sky garden, 10,000 meters above the ground, began to undergo a transformation that was imperceptible to the naked eye.
Outside the transparent gravitational barrier, a quantum defense shield shimmering with honeycomb-like light quietly emerged.
Outside the floating villa, Su Qinghan, wearing high heels, coldly watched the two girls in the corridor.
These are twin sisters she just poached from a top international security group at great expense.
The older sister is named Ye Qingbing, and the younger sister is named Ye Qingxue.
The two wore custom-made black bodysuits that accentuated their stunningly hot curves.
They had identical, stunningly beautiful, and aloof faces, with two tactical daggers strapped to their outer thighs.
Even if he just stood there motionless, he exuded a cold, murderous aura that seemed to have crawled out of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood.
Su Qinghan placed a cup of coffee on the bar counter in the corridor and lowered her voice.
"Your only task is to stay by Mr. Lin's bedside."
"Even if the sky falls tonight and aliens invade Qingshui County, no one is allowed to wake him up."
Ye Qingbing lowered her head slightly, a hint of doubt flashing in her cool eyes.
The two sisters are renowned in the mercenary world, taking on S-level missions to protect national dignitaries.
Now this female CEO with hundreds of billions spent billions to buy them out, just so she could sleep with one man?
Out of professional ethics, the two sisters still quietly pushed open Lin Xian's bedroom door.
The temperature in the bedroom is kept constant at the most comfortable 24 degrees Celsius.
The two sisters stood on either side of the zero-gravity waterbed, like two perfect jade sculptures.
Ye Qingxue couldn't help but glance at the young man sprawled out on the bed out of the corner of her eye.
He slept soundly without any guard up, and even comfortably snored softly.
This created a huge contrast for the two sisters who were used to being in the midst of gunfire and even had to sleep with one eye open.
Just then, several strange lights flashed across the night sky outside the window.
Ye Qingbing's eyes sharpened, and she instantly pressed her hand against the dagger on her thigh, her whole body tensing up like a cheetah.
She was about to draw her sword, but her movement froze in mid-air.
In the darkness outside the window, hundreds of fist-sized nano-stealth drones are silently forming a formation.
The drones fired high-frequency cutting rays, automatically reassembling the special steel surrounding the garden.
One after another, futuristic plasma defense towers rose from the ground as if by magic.
There was not a single sound, not even the slightest vibration, that entered the bedroom.
Ye Qingxue opened her rosy lips wide, her hand holding the dagger trembling.
They had seen the most advanced military technology in the world, but compared to what they saw before them, it was not even as good as a child's toy.
The two exchanged a glance and saw the turbulent emotions surging in each other's eyes.
What kind of monster is this man who is fast asleep on the waterbed?
While the outside world was fighting tooth and nail for even a tiny bit of outdated technology, he lay in bed letting the base evolve on its own.
Ye Qingbing quietly loosened the hilt of the knife, and her heart, which had been cold for years, began to beat wildly uncontrollably.
Looking at Lin Xian's relaxed sleeping face, the murderous intent in her eyes slowly transformed into deep awe.
This is the sense of security they have been pursuing their whole lives.
In this man's territory, all the infighting and dangers are kept outside the starry sky.
As night deepened, the system's upgrade progress bar steadily advanced in the darkness.
Xia Anran, wearing fluffy pajamas and hugging a carrot pillow, peeked out from the doorway.
Seeing the two god-like twins guarding her bedside, she stuck out her tongue and tiptoed back to her room.
Mu Xiaotian was typing on the keyboard in the e-sports arena next door, not even daring to make a sound when clicking the mouse.
Tang Wu, meanwhile, was in the underground research fortress, clutching the blueprints, laughing and crying at the same time, so much so that she didn't even have time to eat.
Chu Yiyi covered the little pig with a warm blanket and dreamed of returning to the pinnacle of her life.
The night sky over the entire Qingshui County was illuminated as bright as day by this miraculous city suspended 10,000 meters in the air.
Time ticked by, and the plasma defense tower outside the window took shape completely before disappearing into the void.
The two sisters stood there all night without closing their eyes, yet they felt no fatigue whatsoever.
The high concentration of life-giving factors in the air was more effective than any high-grade nutrient solution they had ever drunk.
The next morning.
The first ray of sunlight penetrated the holographic glass, and after being intelligently filtered, it transformed into a soft halo that shone on Lin Xian's face.
Lin Xian rolled over and stretched out a big, satisfied yawn.
My joints cracked like popping beans, and yesterday's soreness was completely gone.
"Ding! Host has completed eight hours of high-quality deep sleep; the 'natural wake-up attack' has been triggered."
"The territory's fully automated defense network has been upgraded to interstellar basic level, and ten multi-purpose liquid metal guards are included as a bonus."
Hearing the announcement in his mind, Lin Xian patted his belly with satisfaction.
This is what life is all about—getting everything done with your eyes closed. It's a million times better than pulling all-nighters to finish a PowerPoint presentation for a heartless boss.
He opened his eyes and was about to get out of bed when he saw two hot, black-clad beauties standing on either side of the bed.
Lin Xian was startled and pulled back half an inch, clutching the corner of the blanket.
"Who are you two? I just woke up, I don't offer special services."
Upon hearing this unserious teasing remark, Ye Qingbing's perpetually icy face turned bright red for the first time ever.
She's a ruthless international bodyguard, yet she doesn't even have the courage to look Lin Xian in the eye.
After witnessing the earth-shaking technological miracles last night, she now looks at Lin Xian as if he were a creator.
Ye Qingbing knelt on one knee on the edge of the waterbed, her tight-fitting combat suit accentuating her alluring curves.
She lowered her voice, her tone filled with fervent adoration.
"Boss, we are the bodyguards hired by General Manager Su to keep watch for you at night."
"Just say the word, and our lives will be yours."
Lin Xian yawned, threw off the covers, and sat up on the waterbed.
He doesn't need any bodyguards; the territory's current defense system can treat nuclear bombs like fireworks.
"Keep your life for yourself. Go get me a glass of warm water; I'm a little thirsty."
Ye Qingxue quickly brought over a cup of honey water at just the right temperature and held it to Lin Xian's lips with both hands.
If their docile demeanor were seen by their peers in the international mercenary circle, they would probably gouge their eyes out.
Lin Xian gulped down half a glass of water and casually placed the glass on the bedside table.
He stood up and walked to the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the tiny Qingshui County below.
A series of hurried high-heeled footsteps came from outside the door, and Mu Qingxue walked in quickly, holding a tablet computer in her hand.
This Shanghai tycoon queen was panting heavily from running, and didn't even bother to fix the button on her haute couture suit that had come undone.
"Mr. Lin, something has happened."
Lin Xian slipped on soft wool slippers and casually picked at his ear.
"What in the world could be more important than eating breakfast?"
Mu Qingxue handed the tablet screen to Lin Xian, which showed the surveillance footage from the villa's main gate.
Before dawn, she stuffed all the foreign investors who came to forcibly acquire the company into public toilets to clean toilets.
Logically speaking, a county town should be so quiet now that even dogs shouldn't bark.
Ye Qingbing immediately leaned close to Lin Xian's ear and whispered her report.
"Boss, just as dawn broke today, a group of old men claiming to be from the National Academy of Sciences suddenly appeared outside the villa gate and are clinging to the gatepost, refusing to leave."
