Chapter 124 – Privileges of the Clan Members
Sunlight shone through the room's window, a new a day arrived .
Two girls, one little girl and a teenage girl, were sleeping on the soft bed while hugging each other . They were Dong Bai and Hua Shi .
The room reeked of blood, but both of them did not mind it .
On the floor, Tong curled into an egg as he was holding his precious little brother with his hands . His trembling body soaked with blood and his face was full of tears from the endless agony .
Last night, Dong Bai and Hua Shi punished him for being a two-timer . Although Tong wanted to protest that Hua Shi seduced him or it was not his fault, he did not utter a word .
Last night, Tong noticed Hua Shi's sad eyes . It seemed that she, too, was also in pain . Dong Bai's expression had a tinge of jealousy and pain as well . Both of them was hiding them and pretended that they were fine .
For allowing them to vent their frustration and their sadness, he sacrificed his body to free them from the suffering .
As a result, he was repeatedly castrated all night . He counted that "it" was cut off 131 times which his lifespans took a hit from it . Combined with the previous incident in Jinyang, Tong's lifespans were now less than 150,000 from the initial over 170,000 lifespans .

Tong did not mind losing a bit of lifespan in exchange for the harmony of his family . It was better to have two happy rowdy dominating wives than having two sad oppressed wives . To love is to sacrifice, he could not treat them as objects . It did not matter if he was at fault or not, he would take responsibility for both of them regardless .
Tong struggled to stand up . He collected all of his former manhood pieces into his inventory as he was afraid that Hua Shi's cannibalistic syndrome might come back if she saw human's fresh organs . He would dump and burn these things later once he had a chance .
"Mm, it's morning already?" Dong Bai yawned as she opened her eyelids to peek the room .
"… Such nostalgia smell . " Hua Shi also woke up from the voice of Dong Bai . She took a deep breath to inhale all the iron smell of Tong's blood .
"Yup, it's a good smell . It makes me feel like home . " Dong Bai agreed .
The corner of Tong's mouth twitched . These girls' nature was too wicked and sadistic . If it were a normal girl, she would have screamed in fright from the scene and the smell of blood .
"Tong, I'm hungry . Create something for me to eat . I want a medium-raw wagyu tenderloin steak, egg salad, fried shrimps, a glass of orange juice, and a glass of milk . " Hua Shi ordered a set of heavy breakfast without holding back .
"Huh? There are a wagyu steak and a red wine at this age?"
"He has a skill that can create food . Just order him and he will create it . "
"Oh! That's neat! I want the same as hers but I want the Matsusaka steak and I want it raw . "
Tong smiled at them . He sat on the side of the bed and hugged the two .
"Friday, Sunday, I love you . "
"You stink, get me my breakfast and go take a bath . " Hua Shi complained, yet she kissed him on the cheek and hugged him back .
"I'll only allow two of us . If I find a girl with the name "Saturday" or any other weekday names with you, I'll castrate you again . " Dong Bai buried her head on Tong's shoulder and nibbled his neck as if she wanted to leave an ownership-mark on him .
Tong held them tight and kissed both of them on the cheek . He whispered .
"I'll only have you two . I will not abandon you, ever . "
…
…
Afternoon .
Tong sat by the side of Li Feihong's infirmary bed while he looked at his clan menu screen . Because of the reconciliation between Hua Shi, Dong Bai, and himself, Tong managed to persuade them into joining his clan .
He also asked Dong Bai about the sudden change of his skill which she told him about the change of the dimension link situation and the necessity to delete his [Plot Armor] skill .
Dong Bai also wanted to form a Soulmate Contract with Tong . But after she realized that she had to participate in the Soulmate Quest and the potential wars in the future, she postponed it as she was powerless at the moment . Once she got older and had more system skill, she would add herself into Tong's Soulmate members .
For now, Tong had to increase Dong Bai and Li Feihong's lifespan with the Clan Quests, which required at least five members as a condition to accept quests .

"It's ready . Do you want me to trigger the quest now, or do you want to heal up first?" Tong asked Li Feihong .

"Hah, lucky you . "

Li Feihong bought the [Self-Resurrection] skill from the system shop at the price of 10,000 lifespans because the rest of the skills was sold out .
This left him with less than 3,000 years lifespans . Without a way to increase his lifespan right now, he would die in three years as the yearly upkeep would kill him .
But Li Feihong did not lose hope . He placed his bet on the Clan Quests which Tong was about to activate at this moment .
Tong pressed the quest button which was unlocked after he registered the fifth member of the clan .
[Hohoho! Here we go again, Tong . I knew you are a hard worker! But I'm sorry to disappoint you . The clan quests are more laid back than the soulmate quests . So you won't get as much lifespans as you wanted . ]

Quest Objective: Occupy at least one county-sized city .
Reward:
- 10,000 Lifespan Pool for each major city occupied .
- One Shopping Pass for each major city occupied .
- 1,000 Lifespan Pool for each county
************************
Both of the men looked at the quest details with astonished expression .
"Lifespan Pool? What's this, system?"
[It's a lifespan pool that can be distributed to other members . Each year, you'll get these pools if you completed the conditions . Then, you can give lifespans to your members as contribution rewards . ]
[Or, if you are farsighted, you can use the pool lifespans to buy skills from the shop . Then you can give the skill to any member of the clan . ]
[Simple, right?]
Li Feihong and Tong were shocked by the explanation . This meant they could allocate lifespans or skills to any member in the clan, including the natives in this world!
However, they had to be aggressive as they had to occupy cities to get the best rewards .
This system wanted to provoke a war between otherworlders and the natives!
This system wanted nothing but chaos! It wanted war!
Li Feihong was mentally shaken by the realization while Tong covered his mouth with his hand tried to think of a way to exploit this loophole .
'I have Julu City and Anping County under my control . Should I send my troops to take the nearby small counties?'
'If I can recruit Ding Yuan into my clan via Feihong, will the system count it as I occupy Jinyang City and its surrounding counties?'
"System, if a governor joins my clan, will the city of the governor be under my control?" Tong asked to affirm his theory .
[Yes]
Li Feihong's eyes widened . He turned around to gaze at Tong as he could predict what Tong was trying to achieve .
"You want to recruit Ding Yuan, Tong?"
"To be honest, yes . "
"It's going to be hard . He's a loyalist, you know? He won't sway for you easily . "
"That's true . But as someone gets older, what will be his ultimate goal?"
"Huh? Retirement?"
"Nope . We give him lifespans . "
"Lifespan…? AH!! That's right!"
Tong pointed at the new features which were shown in the clan menu after they had five members . It was locked at the moment, but the panels could still be read .
The panel read "Donation", "Distribution", and "Seize" .
Li Feihong's brain processed at a high speed . He played many mobile games before, so he was familiar with these similar options .
"If I guess it right, we can donate our lifespans into the pool with the "Donation" option, and we can allocate the pool using "Distribution" option . Am I right, system?" Li Feihong asked the system .
[Ding, Ding! Damn straight!]
[Oh, a reward for guessing . I'll tell you another hint . ]
[You can donate your skill into the pool . ]
As if they were thunderstruck, both Tong and Li Feihong was stunned . If a skill could be donated, then they could transfer a skill to one another .
Tong pondered . There was a loophole that he noticed .
'If I can use both these options and yearly dual-cultivation to produce the same skill to other members! Or I can give my skills to my father and Friday!'
The system goddess read Tong's mind . She poured Tong the cold water .
[But there will be a handling fee if you want to donate a skill into the pool . ]
[The donor will have to pay 100,000 Lifespans as a fee . ]
[Also the lifespan pool will increase by one for every 10 lifespans donated into the pool . ]
Tong bit his lower lips . The system won't give them an easy time after all .
