Hope for more Power Stones (^_^)

Bloodmoon Tower.
The tallest building in Safe Zone No. 7, with 141 floors and a height of 715 meters, it was the symbol of this entire area.
More importantly… this tower belonged to Blood Dragon Lilith, and that alone was enough to show just how rich she was.
In the room at the very top floor of Bloodmoon Tower.
The room was over 400 square meters, fully equipped with every function like a real house. No, it was far more than a house, because what house could possibly have a view overlooking the entire city like this?
In the office, Lilith was sitting and going through documents.
As for Negut, he… was playing games.
That was right, he was sitting in front of a cutting edge computer setup, a VR headset on his face, both hands flailing around in the air, looking incredibly stupid.
However, as Lilith read through the documents, she would occasionally glance at him, a gentle, satisfied smile blooming on her lips, before she went back to her work.
After a while, Negut suddenly shouted and flung the VR headset away. "Damn it! What is the point of living if you play that badly? Even a newbie like me plays better than you."
"Ack!" The moment he finished speaking, Negut realized this was not his house but Lilith's office, and his expression immediately froze.
Lilith put down the documents in her hands and stood up, her feet in high heels with sharp stiletto heels that could be used as weapons.
Crop! Crop! Crop!
The sound of her heels striking the floor made Negut shudder.
She had brought him here, and he had thought she had something extremely important to deal with. In the end, she simply told him he could do whatever he liked here.
He could play games, watch movies, or read NichiYa's novels on Webnovel.
Although he found it strange, since he had Lilith's permission, of course all he wanted to do was enjoy himself.
After all, his ultimate dream in life was to be lazy every day and never have to work.
But now, as he watched Lilith slowly walking toward him, his heart was filled with worry and fear.
He was afraid she might punch him once and blow his head clean off.
Lilith walked over and sat down next to Negut. She poured him a full glass of water and said dotingly, "Alright, do not get angry anymore. Your health is still very weak, you should not get upset. It will affect your recovery speed. Have a drink."
Negut grimaced, feeling he could not quite believe what was happening. But he still took the glass of water from Lilith and drained it in one go, feeling a bit calmer inside.
At that moment, Lilith took out a metal bracelet and smiled. "Your phone is too old. This is the newest model, it can synchronize with the Government Chip. It is not only a phone, it can also help you store items."
Negut's mouth fell open as he stared at Lilith and stammered, "This… is for me?"
"That is right." Lilith smiled. "You are my man. You cannot be using old junk."
Negut looked at the bracelet-like metal band. It was exquisitely crafted, with circuit-like lines glowing blue-green like a computer's motherboard, making it feel like it had come from the future.
Of course he knew what that wristband was. It was a new product from the World Government, created by combining ultra-advanced technology with magic.
It not only had all the functions of a phone, but also contained an internal space for storing items. Time inside that space was frozen. Even if you put in a cup of water at 100 degrees Celsius, when you took it out years later, it would still be exactly as it was when you put it in.
Lilith gently slipped the bracelet onto his wrist, and right away, he felt a connection form between himself and the wristband.
He could sense that he now owned a strange inner space, about 2x2x2 meters in size.
"This… this must be very expensive, right?" Negut asked carefully.
Lilith tapped her index finger on his forehead and smiled. "Not really, only 200,000 Energy Points."
Negut sucked in a sharp breath and cursed inwardly, 200,000 Energy Points and you call that cheap? That is enough for a family of four to live on for 200 years without spending it all. Fine, you are rich, whatever you say is right.
"Stop playing games. You only have one eye, it will strain your vision easily." Lilith stroked his face and said, "Rest for a bit. In a while, I will take you to meet someone."
"Ah, then I will go to the bedroom… Agh!" Negut had just stood up when Lilith immediately grabbed his wrist and yanked him back into his seat, his whole body toppling into her embrace.
Her perfume mixed with her natural body scent rushed into his nose, making him feel a little intoxicated.
"No, you can sleep here. You have to stay within my sight at all times, understand?" Lilith's voice was still gentle, but now it carried a commanding tone that did not allow him to refuse.
"I... I understand. But, Lilith, you said there was something important you needed my help with, right? What is it?" Negut asked softly.
Lilith smiled and said, "Staying within my sight, being my lucky mascot, being my man, something that important can only be done by you."
Hearing that, Negut shuddered inside. What kind of line is that? Oi, God, I get the feeling you sent me to the wrong world.
Before, he had only suspected it, but now he was completely sure he had come to the wrong world.
This was not a post-apocalyptic Fantasy world, it was a world of romance, love, and strong heroines chasing a weak male lead.
Although he really liked being pampered by a beautiful woman like this, this was not the world he had wanted to go to.
As a man, who did not dream of casting magic and joining epic battles?
But…
Lilith spoke up, cutting off Negut's train of thought. "If you are short on money, just tell me. I will transfer more to you."
Negut: "..."
Sorry, I take it back. This is fine too. His thoughts flipped instantly.
Seeing Negut behaving obediently, Lilith planted a light kiss on his forehead, then returned to the desk and continued reviewing documents.
Negut let out a long breath and was about to figure out how to use the bracelet when a knocking sound came from the door.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Lilith did not think much of it and said calmly, "Come in."
Crack!
As the door opened, a man appeared. He was about 185 cm tall, with blond hair, a handsome face that carried a hint of frailty, pale skin, and an expression of extreme arrogance.
When Lilith saw the young man, she frowned, while Negut did not understand anything and simply ignored the newcomer.
"Sister Lilith, long time no see," the young man said with a smile.
His gaze slid over to Negut, full of undisguised contempt, then returned to Lilith. "I thought those news reports were fake, but I did not expect you to really bring a useless piece of trash home. Sister Lilith, do you know that what you are doing is not only hurting me, but also hurting my big brother?"
Hearing that, Lilith put the tablet in her hand down, leaned back against the chair, crossed her legs and folded her arms, her eyes calm yet tinged with a cold sharpness as she looked at the young man.
"Nedaric, there is no relationship whatsoever between me and your brother. Also, you are not welcome here."
Nedaric let out a long sigh, his expression turning sorrowful and full of despair.
Negut was different. Even though he knew Nedaric was insulting him, he did not care. On the contrary, he pretended to focus on examining his bracelet while his ears strained to catch every word.
He remembered something he had once heard back when he lived on Earth: "There are two things you must never miss in this life. One is a massive drama, and the other is hearing about a drama but not listening to it properly."
Naturally, Negut did not intend to miss this super massive drama. His ear was working at full capacity. Right now, he even felt like sacrificing his remaining eye if it meant he could hear more clearly.
Nedaric sighed, his eyes misty as if he were about to cry. His face had always carried a delicate, feminine softness, but now it looked even more fragile, making anyone who saw it feel sorry for him.
"Sister Lilith, you know how much my brother likes you, don't you? For your sake, he was not afraid of danger and went straight into the Insect Kingdom to search for the [Blood Lotus], but unfortunately he went missing and still has not returned."
As Nedaric spoke, he wiped his tears and sniffled like a real woman, his eyes flicking toward Negut in open provocation.
"While my brother is missing, not only are you not worried about him, but you actually brought some useless trash back home. Sister Lilith, do you not feel ashamed of yourself in front of my brother?"
Lilith glanced at Nedaric, her face so cold it was frightening, and frowned as she said, "Finished? If you are done talking, then get out."
Nedaric: "..."
Negut: "..."
