"Hana, do we need to call the boars?" Raiden asked, but Hana shook her head.

Now with her inventory that could suck in all the resources around her, she wouldn’t need to trouble the hardworking boars with the strenuous heavy lifting.

Plus, she wouldn’t have to put up with the smell of their sweaty bodies when they work.

"Wait here. I’ll be back in a minute," Hana said flatly, her voice entirely cool as she stepped past her men and walked directly into the entrance of Bunker 03.

​Her mates exchanged a series of tense, confused glances. Raiden’s pink tails twitched with a soft, puzzled sway, while Caspian planted his feet firmly at the threshold, his golden eyes scanning the dark interior to ensure no automated security defense grid would snap awake to threaten her. Kulu tucked his wings away, but he was ever ready to unleash his deadly steel feathers.

Ren, still holding his sister Mina close, watched Hana’s retreating figure with that same unblinking, captivated admiration. What was the female going to do now? He watched with bathed breath.

​Hana stepped deep into the chilled air of the warehouse, her boots echoing against the pristine concrete floor and her hand resting on her belly. The sheer scale of this bunker’s storage was massive—rows upon rows of military-grade containers stacked all the way to the reinforced ceiling.

​She looked into the air, calling forth her sister and her fingers smoothly pressed on the inventory icon to activate the newly integrated extraction function.

​"Initiating item extraction for the entirety of Sub-Station 03," she murmured.

​Chime.

​A faint, pale blue light rippled outward from her position, expanding in a perfect 50-meter radius. The moment the light brushed against the heavy iron crates, the physical matter simply dissolved into thin air, leaving nothing behind but empty floor space.

> ​[EXTRACTION IN PROGRESS...]

> Consumables, medical rations, and raw alloys successfully transferred to Mainframe.

Thanks to the system’s automated sorting algorithm, every single item categorized itself perfectly within her limitless inventory screen. She didn’t have to spend a single drop of energy organizing the haul.

It was very convenient.

​As the last row of crates in the sector vanished, Hana’s eyes caught a lingering data packet flashing in one of the colors on the inventory grid.

"What’s this?"

Her system gave a sharp, high-pitched ring as it integrated the specific physical code.

> ​[HIGH-TIER OBJECT DETECTED]

> Blueprint: Advanced Laboratory Sector – SECURED.

> Data Type: Structural Manifest for New Eden Layout.

​She looked at it for a second. So this was how the system planned to reward her with the blueprint. After getting the 500k points, her mind didn’t even go looking for the other reward but if the system says she’ll get it, she’ll get it.

And now here it was. A cold smirk touched her lips. The blueprint was exactly what she needed to advance her New Eden’s medical and scientific capabilities.

Now, she’ll just have to worry about getting doctors. Great. Good luck finding one that can operate old-world technology in this primitive world. She thought to herself.

But if there were beasts like the crimson court line that could weave fine silk, just maybe there were beasts who could be exceptionally good with medicine that she wouldn’t have to stress herself to teach them the basics of old world technology.

Just one sniff and they know what’s what.

Sigh. If only it could be that easy.

​Without wasting another second, she turned on her heel, walked out of the empty shell of Bunker 03, and marched straight into Bunker 04 right next to it.

​The crowd in the courtyard was entirely silent, watching her walk into the second massive structure with nothing but a sleek brick in her hand.

Inside Bunker 04, the air was even colder. Hana didn’t stretch out the timeline. She let the system suction protocol do the heavy lifting.

​Whoosh.

​Within seconds, the entire warehouse was stripped completely bare.

​Hana scrolled down the rapidly expanding screen in front of her, her eyes glinting as she analyzed the data. It was an absolute jackpot.

This warehouse contained heavy-duty solar panels, industrial power generators capable of lighting up an entire garrison, and even a small unit of unopened maintenance robotics.

Going back into the red for approximately sixty thousand points just for this system function was completely worth it; the value of this single upgrade was unparalleled.

​She turned around and calmly walked back out into the morning sun, her expression completely deadpan as she adjusted the strap of her tactical harness over her dress and rubbed her belly a bit.

After all that walking, she could really grab some snacks.

​"We’re done here," Hana announced, stopping right in front of her men.

​"Done?" Raiden blinked, his emerald eyes widening in absolute confusion as he looked past her shoulder into the dark, empty void of the bunkers. "Hana... What do you mean we’re done? Didn’t you want the supplies inside? We haven’t even moved a single crate."

​Caspian stepped closer, his throat giving a slight, protective flicker of orange as he tried to peer through the dust.

The six crimson elders and Lord Kaelen stood frozen on the steps, entirely bewildered by her sudden exit, while Ren’s snow leopard archers lowered their bows, whispering among themselves. She had gone into the ancient, holy shrines for less than two minutes and just... walked out?

​Hana casually waved her hand, her lips curving into a sharp, superior smirk as she looked at the stunned crowd.

​"Don’t worry about it. I used my weak human magic to clear the place," Hana said, her voice dripping with a clinical, mocking chill that made the Sovereign let out a faint, amazed yet confused gasp. "If you don’t believe me, you can go check the rooms for yourselves. Anyone is free to go inside now, it’s empty, after all."

Wanting to confirm it himself, Raiden hopped in right away. He was just too curious not to check.

And when he did, he began to call out, listening to his voice echo as he announced that it was indeed empty.

Hana looked at Kulu and Caspian.

"What about you? Are you not going to check?" She asked but they shook their heads.

"If you say it’s empty, then it’s empty, Hana." Kulu said and Caspian crossed his arms over his massive chest.

"That’s right. The bird and I agree for once." He said, pridefully.

Hana gave a single nod. Such loyalty was nice to watch, she thought.

"Call Raiden back. It’s time we left this place." she said and Caspian called,

"Hey, you pink rat. Come out here." But Raiden had gone quiet, making Caspian’s work even harder. He ground his teeth. "I swear, when I come there, you’re dead." He gritted out as he stomped into the empty bunker, his heavy strides echoing loudly.

Hana and Kulu were left at the entrance. She turned to the Sovereign and said,

"We have collected what we came to find and as per your oath, you will let us leave. I presume you have no reason to stop us," she tilted her head back. "So we will make our exit now."

"I am ashamed," Lord Kaelen began, his hands tucked in his sleeves in front of him. "I pride my clan so highly and yet an outsider saw our one major flaw. No, nor an outsider," he shook his head as he changed his tone. "Raiden is a son of ours, no matter the consequences, so you are, in the end, a daughter of this clan by bond. Take care of us in the future." He slightly bowed his head and the elders followed suit, bowing their heads.
