Chapter 401: Building An Underground Shelter

[You estimated that if Jade existed in this world, she shouldn’t be in any danger. After all, it was still the first day since Eternal Winter.]

[Looking outside, there was only light snow. Nothing out of the ordinary had occurred.]

[Due to this, you wanted to build the underground base first in order to ensure the residence of you and Jade were prepared and ready.]

[You figured that the Most Efficient Tactic Available for most people would be to find an underground base and live there. Of course, not everyone could achieve that, but those that couldn’t, if they didn’t have any generators and heating systems, would likely die early on.]

[After all, the temperature above the Earth’s crust would eventually become so cold that it would be uninhabitable. Most of them would dare not go outside, which would then lead to the problem of food and water supplies.]

[You also planned to build an underground shelter. You didn’t have to worry about anyone trespassing or sabotaging your house since you had already used Order King to prevent anyone aside from you and Jade from getting close to it.]

[Using X-rank Military Arsenal, you converted your abundant energy into Military Points. Afterwards, you used the military points to build an underground shelter under your own house.]

[The underground shelter you’ve built was located deep in the Earth’s upper mantle. There were at least a hundred floors in this underground shelter, and they were complete with entertainment facilities and other stuff that would keep you and Jade company.]

[Since you didn’t plan to save anyone in this world other than Jade, you naturally only built this shelter for Jade and your sake. Even Henry and the others were treated as strangers by you since caring for them would be useless, especially when you don’t even plan to bring their memories back to the real world.]

[You could be kind to them in the real world, but when it came to the simulation, you’d treat almost anyone else as an NPC. Only your lovers or future teammates who you planned to bring into the real world were the exceptions.]

[With this in mind, you had finished modifying the underground shelter. Since it was located within the Earth’s upper mantle, there weren’t any entrances leading here, and it was like a huge rectangular box that was buried deep within the earth.]

[The only way to access it was by using Order King’s Exile to exile you here or World Order to teleport you here.]

[At the underground shelter’s 50th floor, you had built this entire floor as the residential area for you and Jade. As for the 51st floor, it was the monitoring room.]

[The monitoring room has various screens that display the surveillance cameras displayed by the stealth drones you’ve placed outside. Those stealth drones have the durability of a Platinum-grade item, so you were confident that even in Eternal Winter, it wouldn’t affect the drones’ functions.]

[’My preparations are complete. Now, all that’s left is to find Jade.’]

[Thinking of this, you left your underground shelter and arrived at the roof of your house. You had used X-rank Invisible Force to make yourself invisible, which was the advanced application of this innate talent.]

[Summoning the Absolute Compass, you commanded, "Find Jade Willows for me."]

[Receiving your command, the Absolute Compass’ magnetic needle spun for a moment before it pointed northwest, which was where your college’s female dormitory was located.]

[Although it was the weekend, their college’s dorms were available 24/7, allowing students to stay there even during weekends and holidays.]

[For convenience, most students who live from afar would stay within their dormitory rather than return home.]

[In Jade’s case, due to her not-so-good relationship with her parents, she stayed within the college’s female student dormitory.]

[’Fortunately, the Absolute Compass gave a positive response and pointed a direction, which meant Jade did exist in this world. Since that’s the case, I can just rekindle my relationship with her.’]

[You weren’t worried about that aspect. After all, you and Jade weren’t actually true strangers or just mere schoolmates.]

[In fact, if you hadn’t shown any interest in romance, Jade would have pursued. She had already informed you that she had planned to confess to you after you all graduated from college.]

[Knowing Jade’s past, you didn’t worry about not being able to have her as your girlfriend again. It was for this reason that Jade was confident that in most parallel worlds, she’d be able to be with you again.]

[Aside from that, Jade had also prepared a little something for her parallel selves. If that item was given to her parallel selves, as long as they weren’t too different from her, those parallel world Jades would undoubtedly become your girlfriends easily.]

[Moreover, with Hint Prompt, you’d be able to confirm beforehand if the item Jade had prepared for her parallel selves would be useful or not.]

[’Jade has truly prepared a lot just to persuade me in treating her parallel world selves well. I ought not disappoint her. After all, she’s my first love.’]

[Thinking of this, you immediately flew rapidly into the sky, arriving at your college’s female dormitory building under the cover of invisible force.]

[Each dormitory has two bunker beds, totaling four beds. In other words, each dormitory has four people living together.]

[Within the dormitory, you were lucky that Jade was the only one left. From what you discovered via Hint Prompt, her other three dorm mates went out to grab milk tea and enjoy the early winter scenery.]

[’Well, this is by no means a coincidence. With my Human Progenitor-level luck and X-rank All Stars Aligned, even if I don’t actively use them, events would still happen to favor me.’]

[Thinking of this, you smiled and phased through the windows in Jade’s dormitory, arriving within her dormitory unannounced and invisible.]

[Arriving inside, you deactivated your invisibility.]

[Under Jade’s astonishment, you greeted her familiarly, "Yo! We meet again, My Jade."]
