Chapter 154: Place for Making Summer Memories_2
```
"Aiyah, don't scare people! Youyou, look at Nuo Nuo! She's bullying Ling Nai again, poor Ling Nai, wuu wuu—"
Asai Reina pretended to cry towards Fang You, of course, all she got in return was Xia Nuo bullying her even more recklessly!
"Flattering Youyou won't work! Accept my punishment!"
Although Asai Reina was being bullied, kneaded, and pinched by Xia Nuo, she seemed to be having a lot of fun.
Despite struggling hard, she didn't seem reluctant at all; she even forgot to maintain the image of a dignified and pretty girl that she initially wanted to uphold. Laughing brightly, she also revealed her funny expression with two front teeth missing.
This child...
It seems she really lacks the affection of friends in her daily life.
While Xia Nuo was tormenting Asai Reina, Emperor Youyou continued on his path of growth.
Fang You suggested, "I think the secret base is almost done being remodeled. Shouldn't we have a founding ceremony for the secret base next and give it a name?"
"A secret base... a founding ceremony... naming!"
Kids can't resist such ceremonious events!
Not to mention, this time the initiator of the secret base who dreams of becoming a spaceship captain is none other than our classmate Nuo Nuo!
"Youyou, you're so smart, Youyou!"
She hugged Fang You, swaying him back and forth, "So, let's prepare a bit today, and start choosing the most suitable name for our secret base tomorrow!"
"Why not decide today?"
Fang You, this person, his brain is full of getting the task done to avoid complications!
"No! I want to think of a few names," said Xia Nuo. "I'll go through some books when I get back."
"Ayu also wants to think about it..."
"Then Ling Nai wants to join too!"
Xia Nuo called out to her pals, "When the time comes, we'll collect all the names we've come up with, and then vote to decide what name we'll use for our secret base."
"But, if everyone only writes their favorite, won't they just vote for their own name?"
Asai Reina nodded along, pretending to agree, but her mind was already brewing what she considered a very devious thought:
Kukuku...
Ling Nai is different; Ling Nai will vote for Youyou, oh!
At this moment, Fang You also voiced his opinion.
"If we're worried about who wrote the names, then everyone can write down the names they've thought of, list them on the blackboard, and we'll use an anonymous voting method to pick the most suitable one." Enjoy exclusive chapters from empire
"Okay, okay! Let's do it that way!"
After going home, Asai Reina immediately called her mother and mentioned she wanted to spend the summer vacation here. Without a second thought, Ling Nai's parents agreed to it as if they had anticipated her request.
However, since Ling Nai's parents would be returning to Yingdu at the end of the month, Ling Nai had to go back home by the end of July, which meant she had about two weeks to have fun in Mei City until now.
Naturally, Lin Yi and Xia Anyang quickly agreed as well.
In her parents' eyes, Ling Nai has always been a very well-behaved and sensible little girl, and of course, she was very much liked by Lin Yi.
"This way, Nuo Nuo is like having a little sister."
"Mom, mom, not a sister; Ling Nai is much older than me, she is my sister."
I, I'm not old at all!
Asai Reina wanted to protest, but since she was a guest in someone else's home, she had to suppress her own feelings.
Although it was not the whole summer vacation of joy she had imagined, two weeks was enough time to do a lot of things.
Asai Reina took out her notebook and prepared to jot down her summer vacation wish list.
"Ling Nai, have you started considering the name for the secret base?"
"Not... I was thinking about what we can do during summer vacation!"
"Let me see!"
"You're the host... so I'll let you see..."
Xia Nuo glanced at Asai Reina's prepared wish list, skimmed through it cursorily, and lost interest immediately.
"What you've listed, Youyou and I have already done it long ago; it doesn't feel very creative."
"Eating, shopping, watching movies, taking a nap, going to the park, mountain climbing, visiting the zoo, checking out museums... you, you've done all of that?"
"Alright, let's focus on coming up with the name for our secret base!"
The next day, everyone arrived at the cabin with a variety of carefully prepared secret base names. Organized by Fang You, they each displayed their nominations for the base's name.
```
[Golden Throne]
[Universal Special Security Squad]
[Paru Squad Headquarters]
[Heart of Atom]
[Homeland]
[Super Peace Busters]
...
After a heated discussion, everyone eventually agreed on "Paradise" as the name of the secret base.
It was a simple and universally acceptable name for the base!
A world that belonged only to children, it truly was a place as marvelous as a paradise.
Meanwhile, as the base naming was settled, the young friends put their hands together and cheered. With the naming and team forming tasks completed, Fang You saw task completion prompts popping up before his eyes—
[Congratulations on successfully completing the renovation of the secret base, "Knowledge Task: Our Secret Base is Finished!"]
[You've received a reward: Knowledge Energy +6400, Knowledge Talent—"Domain Expansion" has been unlocked.]
[Domain Expansion: The transformed cabin will become a domain exclusive to you. It won't be discovered by any members outside of the team and the construction feature will be activated. You can improve the environment and add functions to the secret base by spending Knowledge Energy (this feature can be turned on/off actively)].
Good news: It truly is a space creation ability!
Bad news: It can only be expanded in the little cabin!
They really turned the secret base into a game-like managing and nurturing experience.
Fang You acquired the Talent "Domain Expansion," and upon activation, a brand-new construction UI popup appeared, displaying various function unlock slots indicating the possible features that could be developed for the secret base.
[Pest Extermination]: No insects will invade the secret base, 1000 Knowledge Energy points to unlock.
[Safety Alert]: Wild animals like rats won't invade your secret base either, 2000 Knowledge Energy points to unlock.
[Lumber Reinforcement]: Making the originally decaying cabin materials very sturdy, 3000 Knowledge Energy points to unlock.
[Temperature Control]: Keeping the temperature of the secret base within a comfortable range, 5000 Knowledge Energy points to unlock.
[Electric Power Supply]: Providing free and ample electricity to the secret base, 6000 Knowledge Energy points to unlock.
[Water Supply]: Providing the secret base with tap water pipelines, 6000 Knowledge Energy points to unlock.
[WiFi Activation]: Turning on WiFi signals in the secret base, upgradable for faster speeds.
[Team Expansion]: Expanding team size, you can add to the number of members in the secret base, 10000 Knowledge Energy points per slot.
[Spatial Transmission]: Setting up a fast entrance in your bedroom to reach the secret base quickly, this entrance is for your use only, 100,000 Knowledge Energy points per use.
[???]: This hidden function requires specific actions in the secret base to unlock.
[???]: This hidden function requires specific actions in the secret base to unlock.
...
There are quite a few functions in this expanded domain that need to be unlocked with a fee, but each one is a useful design.
There are just some abilities Fang You doesn't even know how to enable.
Like this electricity and water supply thing...
It can't really create a faucet and a socket out of thin air, can it?
Later, I'll have to figure out how to explain to Nuo Nuo and the others how I did it...
Wait a second, why explain?
I am the omnipotent Emperor Youyou, after all. It's not really surprising that I can do these things...
Fang You had initially taken on this task with the mindset of playing with Nuo Nuo for fun and for the 6400 points of Knowledge Energy.
But he hadn't expected that this would unexpectedly lead to a nurturing independent spatial plane.
Fang You was no longer feeling bored now.
Although he had been exceptional since childhood, some extraordinary things were inconvenient to do at home. Having an independent, private space was truly thrilling.
Nobody would disturb him no matter what he did there.
However, focusing on constructing the secret base at this time meant that Fang You would have to slow down his own evolutionary pace.
It's another classic dilemma...
The last time I felt this conflicted was when I earned the Joyous Man under the Emotional Energy situation. It seems like the system is always well prepared, existing specifically to drain Emperor Youyou of his Knowledge Energy.
