The six hundred elite soldiers were discussing action plans while resting.
Zhu Zi, Liu Meng, Zhang Tian, Wu Yong, and Tie Lao Ba were all taking precautions against assassination.
Fang Er, meanwhile, collapsed onto his own bed.
These past two months had exhausted him completely!
Xiao Qing sat by the bed, looking at Fang Er with heartache in her eyes.
She called for Xing'er, and the two of them gently massaged Fang Er, being careful not to use too much force lest they wake him.
Fang Er slept incredibly comfortably, only getting out of bed the following morning.
A bathtub had been placed in the room, filled with hot water, waiting for him to bathe.
"Master has woken! Come quickly and wash," Xiao Qing said as she hurried to help him when Fang Er got out of bed.
Fang Er walked to the bathtub and felt the water temperature. It was just right.
Xing'er and Yu Lu, along with the other maids, had clearly changed the water many times.
Not knowing when he would wake up, they had to keep the water at a temperature that was neither too hot nor too cold. This meant frequently pouring out some of the cool water and adding warm water.
October had already grown cold, and Fang Er stripped off his clothes in a few swift movements and jumped into the bathtub.
"Hiss! So comfortable!"
Fang Er couldn't help but exclaim.
Xiao Qing, listening beside him, blushed and gently wiped his body with a wet towel.
Seeing Xiao Qing's flushed face, Fang Er pulled her into the bathtub.
"Hahahaha."
"Ah!"
Xiao Qing was startled. Looking at her wet clothes, she pouted and said, "Master, I'm all wet!"
"What's there to fear if you're wet?"
With two large hands, as if employing some celestial technique, Fang Er transformed Xiao Qing into her original form in moments: a pure white rabbit demon.
"Halt! Rabbit demon, prepare to die! Witness my Mountain-Upheaval Palm!"
Fang Er, transforming into a righteous warrior, struck at the rabbit demon's mountain-shaped magical artifact.
"Ying ying~~!"
The rabbit demon cried out in pain from the sudden attack.
Fang Er shifted his hand movements, intent on flattening those two peaks. The rabbit demon's two mountainous treasures warped into various shapes beneath his palms.
"Halt, you rabbit demon, for causing chaos in the world! Today, this Daoist master shall subdue you!"
Fang Er continued to pour his spiritual energy into his palm, but those towering treasures simply refused to be destroyed.
After a while, the rabbit demon's vital energy was in disarray, and she could barely muster any strength. She looked at Fang Er with half-closed eyes.

The next morning, after washing up, Fang Er sat refreshed in the courtyard and casually opened his system panel.
Current refreshes available: 6
Current redeemable items: 20
Seeing the numbers displayed, he couldn't help but smile.
The current items were those automatically refreshed by the system: a fabric store.
Various bedsheets, duvet covers, sofa covers, curtains, and the like.
Fang Er wasn't interested in these; he simply redeemed them and clicked refresh.
Another appliance store, and this time there were unlockable items.
Zhongxing landline phone.
Looking at this thing, Fang Er blurted out a "fuck."
"What's the point of just a landline without a switchboard?"
After redeeming everything, he didn't even bother to check how many phones were in the open store.
Without a programmed switchboard, it was just a decoration, and the phone lines were also a problem.
Second refresh!
Veterinary drugs and equipment.
Unlockable item: Piggy's Abundant Offspring Fortune.
"Heh heh, this is good!"
After redeeming it, he glanced at the specifications.
50 packets per box, costing 4 taels of silver per packet.
Each packet could be mixed with 500 jin of concentrate to induce estrus in sows, increase litter size, and also ensure a stable pregnancy.
"Beautiful!"
He wondered if this stuff would have any effect on other livestock.
For example, cattle, sheep, or horses. He could try it out later.
Third refresh!
Hardware store. More pliers, wrenches, screwdrivers, and the like. When he flipped to the next page, Fang Er smiled with satisfaction.
Multimeter! The aluminum plant and hydroelectric power should be ready by now.
With this, he would have more confidence when making transformers later.
At least he wouldn't have to burn a bunch of motors like he did in Fang Family Village to get the transformer to work.
Fourth refresh!
Fang Er was speechless. It was a food supermarket again, but this time featuring specialties from the Russian side.
Things like bliny, Madeir ice cream, chocolate, large sausages, caviar, Russian field rations, Bird vodka, kvass, and a pile of other food and drinks.
After redeeming them, he crunched the lollipop in his mouth, swallowed it quickly, and then took out an ice cream to try.
It was indeed rich in milk flavor. Standing in the early winter wind and taking a bite, it was refreshingly cool!
Fifth refresh!
Military surplus store.
Anti-stab shoes, military greatcoats, camping tents, sleeping bags, multi-function shovels, waterproof watches, night vision goggles, and a series of items favored by military enthusiasts.
Moreover, Fang Er saw the Russian field rations again.
"What the hell?"
"Is this to turn me into a logistics supervisor?"
"I don't believe the sixth refresh won't have military rations!"
System: "Idiot, you're overthinking. You've only refreshed six times, and it won't unlock for you!"
Fang Er: "......"
This damn system is too hateful. If it doesn't appear, fine, but when it does, it's full of mockery!
"I'll refresh!"
"Motherfucker!"
Fang Er jumped more than a meter into the air.
In the marketplace, the flashing golden light made him incredibly excited.
"My dear girl, come out, let me repay you properly."
"Master, who are you calling?"
Fang Er inadvertently blurted it out, and Xiao Qing, who was passing by, heard him clearly.
"Hehehehe, who do you think I'm calling? Here, have some."
Fang Er handed the half-eaten ice cream to Xiao Qing.
Xiao Qing took the ice cream, thinking about Fang Er's words, her expression shifting back and forth.
Surprise, shyness, excitement, happiness...
"Master actually calls me that... could it be because of yesterday?"
"Heavens!"
