He just stood outside the Hot Spring Cottage.
He heard the sound of water splashing from inside.
...
This made Zong Shen feel somewhat awkward.
Because he knew there was a high probability that Wenresa was inside.
If it had been before, he would have gone in for a naked scrubbing service without hesitation.
But now the relationship between him and Wenresa was indeed a bit awkward.
Following the principle of avoiding what he couldn’t handle, he decided to hold back a little.
Besides, he was really tired today.
Both his body and soul were exhausted, and he only wanted to wash up and sleep.
He stood at the door of the Hot Spring Cottage, pondering for a while.
Zong Shen turned around and left.
He took out the Burden-Bearer Mecha, intending to make do with the bathhouse in the living area.
It just so happened that he wanted to see the changes in the living area.
This gave him a perfect reason to act.
Driving the Burden-Bearer Mecha, Zong Shen spent five or six minutes to arrive next to the living area.
One hundred and sixty two-story stone houses were neatly arranged.
If visiting for the first time, one might even get lost.
A squad of Wolf Cavalry was patrolling near the living area, holding torches, they looked like a band of light in the night, advancing northward from the outskirts of the living area.
Occasionally, a few Magic Energy Patrol Dogs ran by from afar.
Unlike the Wolf Cavalry, these patrol dogs had very random patrol paths.
Their main task was to detect stealth units that might enter the territory.
At this time, everyone was basically resting.
The entire living area was very quiet.
Under the night sky, it had quite a modern residential feel.
At least it looked more pleasing than the indigenous people’s villages.
He drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha around the edge of the living area and found the bathhouse.
Now several more had been added to the bathhouse.
A total of four bathhouses were distributed in different directions of the living area.
Quite a few toilets were also built.
Speaking of which, Zong Shen had always paid great attention to the territory’s sanitation issues.
These toilets not only made the territory clean and sanitary but also converted waste into basic fertilizers.
These fertilizers were handled by designated farmers.
They were stored in several small houses next to the agricultural and livestock area.
These small houses were purposely left to reserve these fertilizers.
Consider it preparation for the territory’s future agricultural development.
Zong Shen casually picked a bathhouse and parked the Burden-Bearer Mecha outside.
Then he stepped inside.
Each bathhouse had forty washing compartments.
They were divided into men and women’s sides, twenty compartments each.
At this late hour, naturally, no one was bathing in the bathhouse.
Zong Shen found the nearest compartment on the men’s side and went in.
Inside were simple showerheads and water valves.
There was no choice of hot or cold water, only warm water set at 40°C.
The water supply came from the Water Rune and Fire Rune, along with a series of ornate Rune Magic Arrays.
Zong Shen wasn’t too clear on the specifics either.
Because constructing the territory didn’t require understanding the principles.
As long as the blueprint and materials met the requirements,
it would automatically enter the construction state.
Zong Shen took off the Battle Armor and placed it on the shelf.
In a few swift moves, he stripped off all his clothes.
He turned the simple triangular valve, and hot water immediately gushed from the showerhead above.
Zong Shen stood naked, tilting his head back, letting the hot water wash over him from head to toe.
When he closed his eyes, it felt as if the whole world had gone silent.
All he could hear was the sound of splashing water.
The warm water cleansed his body, making him feel exceptionally relaxed and comfortable.
"Phew!"
After a minute of washing, Zong Shen lowered his head.
Using his two hands, he scrubbed the water from his hair and face.
He opened his eyes, looking at his feet standing on the slippery ground.
The pace of development during this period was as tight as ever.
Perhaps after the Challenge Month ends, he could have a chance to relax.
After washing his body, he placed the Battle Armor, Battle Helmet, and other things on the ground.
Letting the flowing water naturally wash over them.
The exterior of the Strength Demon Armor showed many dents and damages.
However, the overall damage was not severe.
Previously, the bombs he threw at the ruin pit had taken out quite a few Fishmen.
Those all counted as his kills.
Zong Shen checked, and whether it was the Strength Demon Armor, the Chronological Pocket Watch, or the Ring of Strength Demon,
their related Skill Values had increased slightly.
The showerhead’s water flow wasn’t large, it took several minutes to wash the dirt off the battle equipment.
The gray-brown dust turned into mud under the water flow.
Flowing down the bathhouse’s internal channels.
Only after the floor was rinsed clean did Zong Shen turn off the valve.
He took out the hemp-made underwear he had prepared and put it on.
Casually gathered up the damp battle armor equipment.
He was quite relaxed on the territory.
He quickly walked out of the bathhouse, sat in the driver’s seat of the Burden-Bearer Mecha.
Startup, boost power, turn...
Completing the actions in one fluid motion.
He swiftly drove the Burden-Bearer Mecha back to the outside of the Lord’s Small Tower.
When passing the Hot Spring Cottage, he deliberately stopped.
There was no longer any movement inside.
Which was not surprising, given that it had been a good twenty or thirty minutes with the round trip and bathing time.
By then, one should have long been done with the shower.
It was only a few steps from the Lord’s Courtyard, so Zong Shen simply jumped off the Burden-Bearer Mecha.
With a flick of his hand, he stored it into the Personal Storage Grid.
He quickly walked into the Lord’s Small Tower.
