Li Ke's mood instantly improved, because this proved one thing:
It wasn't that he was unlucky, but rather that Kiri's luck was simply too good.
This woman was blessed with good fortune. Although her background and experiences could hardly be described as lucky, at present, she was the luckiest person present.
"It's truly frustrating that I lost to a human in terms of luck."
Rias was also somewhat surprised, looking at Kiri with disbelief in her eyes.
She considered herself among the luckiest, but even she couldn't compare to Kiri.
"What a pity."
Rias couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
It was truly a pity that someone like her couldn't join her familiar. This kind of unfairly strong luck could bring many good things.
As for superstition...
She's a Devil, what superstition?
"Miss Kiri, with luck that surpasses even the Gremory House's fortune, you must be an important person in your world, right?"
She couldn't help but ask. Someone with Kiri's incredible luck couldn't possibly be a nobody in another world.
But Kiri's answer surprised her greatly.
"Of course not, I'm just a nobody, the kind no one would even notice if you threw me into a crowd. Alright, enough talk, let's get to the mission!"
Kiri chuckled, and the four of them continued their mission as a team.
Because they were moving very quickly, they completed the eight missions in almost an hour. After that, they resumed building fortifications.
Although Tsunade wasn't there, Rias could still fly for a short time without any problems.
Kiri went to set up some simple protective measures to safeguard their relatively vulnerable gate.
Meanwhile, Li Ke and Lux started mining.
Mining was incredibly tedious and boring, but the new forge Kiri had created allowed their efforts to quickly translate into results. The recipe for the new workbench Li Ke had acquired would also transform the steel ingots into something more solid and reliable.
While adding materials to the furnace, Li Ke noticed Lux, whose body was covered in dust, and couldn't help but think of something.
"We'll be able to leave soon..."
Li Ke looked at Lux. Although he tried his best not to show any attraction to her body, Lux's body still trembled slightly when she saw him.
It wasn't because of Li Ke's gaze, but because of Lux's own thoughts.
Lux hadn't allocated any points to her 7 Days to Die system because of Rias's words, so when she wielded the tools, she was using her own strength. That's why Li Ke had completed several times only to see Lux completed one.
Now, Lux was somewhat exhausted, so she came here intending to rest.
Seeing Li Ke's energetic appearance, only slightly sweaty, she couldn't help but think of something.
That was, Li Ke How many times could he do it in one night?
This was a very real question. Even though Lux had never considered such a thing before, it was clear that she had to think about it now.
So, she couldn't help but stammer out the question.
"Mr. Li Ke, are you alright? You exercise regularly, right…?"
Her stammering was quite adorable, and Li Ke instantly understood why she was trembling.
"Ah? Well… although I'm not bragging, these kinds of activities don't tire me out anymore."
Li Ke tried his best to use a voice that wouldn't lead to any other associations.
"As for exercising, that was a long time ago, but my lifestyle lately has improved my health considerably."
Li Ke was quite certain about this. In this world, he was forced to diet and exercise all day long. Although he didn't have abs yet, his belly was almost invisible.
"If I keep training like this, I should be able to turn into a muscular man with eight-pack abs very quickly."
"Oh, I see..."
Lux's face turned even redder.
But just as the two were about to fall silent, the roar of a motorcycle came from afar, and soon after, Kiri, wearing a jacket, jeans, and sunglasses, appeared in front of them.
"Hey, Li Ke, the pond at the gas station was choked with zombies before, I'm not planning to drink from it, so come with me, let's get some water. Miss Lux, could you please keep watch for Rias?"
Because Rias sometimes needs to fly to build new steel fortresses, she needs someone to help keep watch.
So, Lux agreed without much thought.
"Okay, Miss Kiri."
Lux obediently went upstairs after saying that, while Kiri smiled at Li Ke, then took off her sunglasses and used them to lift Li Ke's chin.
"Come on, handsome, give me a smile."
Li Ke roughly knew what she was going to do.
The water in this world is quite interesting. Li Ke collected several buckets and discovered it was remarkably similar to the water in Minecraft. When he filled a bucket with water using the system's bucket and poured it onto the ground, a water block appeared. Then, this water block produced countless amounts of water. It wasn't that it flowed directly, but rather that any pipe or container used to collect water could draw it out, and that blob of jelly-like water never diminished!
"This is truly bizarre."
Kiri stared speechlessly at this phenomenon, scratching her head repeatedly. Although unbelievable things were common in this world, she still couldn't help but marvel every time she saw something like this.
"But this makes things convenient for us; we only need to fetch a few buckets of water back."
Li Ke looked at the ever-flowing river. If it weren't for the lack of those invincible walls, and the danger of the foundation being breached, instantly destroying the system framework that served as its sturdy skeleton, he probably would have tried to build a house here and use the water flow to deal with the zombies.
Unfortunately, that was impossible. Even with an endless water source, building such a cycle in their area would be suicidal.
"What a pity."
Li Ke sighed, then saw Kiri had already unbuttoned her jacket and taken out a complete set of bedding, placing it aside. She even put several system blocks by the riverbank.
Li Ke instantly perked up because when Kiri took off her socks, he saw Kiri's lovely feet.
This was quite surprising. Logically speaking, a woman like Kiri wouldn't have particularly beautiful feet.
The reason was very simple.
She was constantly moving and running, and given the harsh conditions of the battlefield, washing her feet, even taking a bath, was a luxury.
Therefore, Li Ke hadn't expected Kiri's feet to be particularly beautiful; as long as her long legs remained pretty, that was enough.
However, Kiri revealed a pair of beautiful feet.
While not as petite as Erina's, they were still quite delicate for Kiri's height.
Pink toes with a beautiful shape, elegant curves, and a perfectly proportioned design.
They were like a sculpted work of art, especially when Kiri instinctively curled her toes as she tested the water temperature, adding a touch of cuteness and playfulness to this spirited woman.
"Is this a difference between different worlds?"
Li Ke couldn't resist the urge to pinch those adorable feet, but he knew he couldn't go until Kiri extended an invitation.
So, he decided to leave and wash himself as well.
After all, Kiri had made it so obvious.
It wouldn't be polite for him not to wash himself.
However, just as he turned around, Kiri suddenly spoke.
"Where are you going?"
Kiri turned her head, taking off her jacket and placing it on the wooden frame. As she asked Li Ke, she began unbuttoning her jeans, exposing her full hips and long, straight legs to the air.
Kiri was quite tall, a standard 1.8 meters.
But most importantly, her legs.
Kiri's legs were noticeably longer than average, but remarkably beautiful and slender.
However, Kiri's thighs weren't thin; rather, they were unusually full, clearly the result of exercise.
However, she didn't appear bulky; in fact, by Earthling standards of beauty, she was still considered 'slender.' It was just that compared to the slender and tall physiques characteristic of the Celestials, Kiri's legs seemed somewhat 'thick.'
Feeling Li Ke's gaze, Kiri, though prepared, couldn't help but feel a twinge of shyness.
She felt her legs were thick; after all, living in the lawless zone, even the most naturally beautiful person would have their appearance altered by the ravages of war.
Kiri had once envied the life of a lady, a life of simply being a wife and mother, and dressing beautifully.
But unfortunately, she felt she couldn't adapt to that kind of life, and after careful consideration, she also felt it was boring.
Perhaps one day she would tire of the adventure, or have to worry about making a living, and then she would settle down in one place.
Kiri thought this, but she didn't pull down her underwear, because Li Ke had already arrived.
Li Ke's hands encircled Kiri's slender waist, caressing her abs and other areas, making Kiri feel ticklish and unable to help but laugh.
"Hmm, I want to find a place to take a bath."
Li Ke's answer made Kiri chuckle softly.
"And now?"
"Of course, it's more fun to bathe with you."
Li Ke's hand slid down Kiri's lower abdomen and into her remaining clothes, touching a lush patch of pubic hair.
Like Tsunade, Kiri's hair was quite lush, but not messy; rather, it had a unique charm.
His other hand slipped inside Kiri's upper garment, reaching for her soft, firm breasts, gently teasing the nipples that were slowly hardening.
"Kiri's breast wasn't overly large; though it appeared substantial given her slender frame, it was by no means small—in fact, it sat well above the average for a woman."
Li Ke had been preoccupied with Tsunade's unspeakable weight that morning, so he felt a slight regret as he squeezed Kiri's perfectly full breasts, which fit comfortably in his hand.
However, this also meant Kiri's breasts were very firm, and even with age, there was no issue of sagging.
"Mmm...this feels really good."
As he kneaded them, Kiri couldn't help but moan, unconsciously gripping his arm.
"No wonder Blitz didn't forget to drink with girls even when he was on the run...and those guys were so addicted."
Having never had a similar experience before, Kiri wasn't afraid of this feeling; on the contrary, she felt a vague anticipation. She had been curious about this for a long time, but had never had the opportunity.
"Let me think..."
Recalling how the women she had seen in the tavern had done it, Kiri tried to turn away, but Li Ke held her tightly, burying his head in her beautiful neck.
This immediately made Kiri's body stiffen. She hadn't reacted this strongly before, whether Li Ke was caressing her garden or the strawberries below, but when Li Ke rubbed her neck from behind, she couldn't help but tremble.
She really didn't like having someone behind her.
