Sitting on the bed, he took out a small cube from his waist bag. This was the Main Cube, the most important object he had. Its appearance was similar to a Rubik's Cube with a shiny silver color on it and a button at the center.

He pressed it and it split open.

[Welcome to the main panel, Leo.]

[Base Creation]

[Base Management]

[Scan Resources]

[Emergency Armory]

Leo nodded in satisfaction after seeing the menus. Everything still functioned normally. When he clicked on the [Emergency Armory], a list of weapons and items he could take out appeared before him.

[Photon Sword, Phase Cannon, Fiery Pike, Storm Rifle, Holy Knuckle, Mecha Greaves, Nanites Pills... Please select the item you want.]

It was just as he remembered. And all items hidden in a smaller form was all something he prepared for an emergency mission where he had no time to get prepared.

'Preparation is always the key for Mercenaries.'

Not that he really needed it as he and his subordinates were already dressed in the best armor and weapons he could create with his base back then.

Looking at the base creation option, he tapped on it and a screen with numbers appeared. The total amount of resources he needed was massive.

[Level 1 Base Requirement: Rocks x 230, Stone Pillars x 4, Tree Trunks x 10]

'Well, if the base is complete, I won't need to worry about anything. I would need steel to create all the rooms inside too... It will be very costly.'

It was just one of the requirements for him to establish a new base here.

Of course, he could just ask a regular carpenter to create a building that he could use as a base and use his Main Cube to connect it to the system and apply various settings on it.

Though that would be pointless. The defense would only be subpar compared to the base created directly by the Main Cube.

"Leader, what's the plan after this?"

Jessica asked him suddenly. She didn't mean about the plan or what he would do after this, but the plan for the future.

"We do our work as usual. If possible, I want to create relationships with all organizations here. Do you know about Murim, Jessica?"

"Yes, I have read the database and it's known as a land where Martial Arts were thriving in it," she answered. "Based on the data we have, they are separated into many Sects. Some Sects are called Orthodox and the others are Unorthodox depending on the Martial Arts and belief they practiced. Is that correct?"

"That's right." He nodded as he continued.

"There are also bandit bands and some independent martial artists. They are ranked from the weakest 1 Star to the strongest 9 Stars. While we use Nanites to enhance our body and get stronger, they use an energy called Qi. Try to read some Murim novels I have in my collection to understand better. I permit you."

"I understand." She nodded. "I will focus on learning through the novels to be used as a reference."

"Great."

He closed the screen as he smiled.

Among the members, only Jessica was willing to read and learn from books. The others weren't that much of a bookworm. Then again, he wasn't expecting much from them when he created them as he prioritized combat prowess instead of learning.

"My priority will be the same." Leo closed his eyes and lay on his back. "And it will not be different from the past until now. Even in this strange world."

His core beliefs remained the same and always would be.

The first priority was for the Hallowed Insect band to secure the base and replenish their supplies. As mercenaries, survival was the second important thing after money. But that was in the past world. In this new world, he would prioritize survival and comforts as he was no longer in his home world.

After that was Money. Without money, no mercenary would be able to function properly as they couldn't get supplies to maintain their bases or buy the thing they needed for missions.

Tonight would be his first mission. The client was Heavenly Demon. So far, no survivor was found other than Mok-Rang. Which meant no one knew that they helped the Heavenly Demon, and it would stay that way. He had signed the contract with Mok-Rang that prevented him from telling others about Hallowed Insects' existence.

'I can gain Heavenly Demon's favor, but it's too risky right now. Thankfully, the martial artists have no artifact or something that allows them to see what happened in the distance. We will use this anonymity to get as many Golds and connections as possible.'

But for now, rest was more important.

"Let's sleep, Jessica. You need to rest your body too." He said, looking at his secretary who sat on the bed while reading a hologram screen.

Upon hearing him, she immediately closed the screen and smiled happily at him.

"Of course. Anything you want, Leader." She dropped her body and moved closer to him before snuggling against his chest with a happy expression on her face. "Can I do this?"

Leo blinked as he stared at her weirdly before finally chuckling wryly and patted her head. Jessica, while strict and feared by other members, was actually pretty clingy and wanted to be pampered and praised by him like Anya and Chiaki.

However, as the vice-leader, she couldn't show her weak side to anyone. At least that was how he set her character as.

"Sleep well. Tonight will be a long day."

He embraced her, giving her his body warmth which she craved for as he knew from her profile. Jessica's body felt soft and warm as she was extremely curvaceous while having a huge bust and plump butt that fit perfectly in his hand. He needed this company, very much so.

'She's warm.'

"Leader, can I sleep like this everytime we sleep?"

"I don't mind as long as it doesn't hinder our job."

"Thank you."

Jessica rested her head on his chest as she hugged him tightly. The warmth between their body combined as the room filled with soft breathing sound coming from them.
