Usinomics looked out over Moo66.

For a moment, Moo66 looked peaceful beneath the blue sky.

The headquarters was still a work in progress.

Staff accommodations, workspaces, storage, and many other essential facilities had yet to be completed.

The island still held unanswered questions.

The canyon still required cleanup.

The whale skeleton would remain where it had fallen.

Nothing was perfect.

Yet the moment felt complete.

Usinomics looked up at the capybara sculpture.

Its stone face offered no opinion.

He looked back toward Moo66.

The property seemed small.

The work ahead did not.

A final notification appeared.

Exploration progress updated.

Usinomics closed it without reading the details.

For once, the percentage did not matter.

The next morning, Shamnomics greeted Usinomics with the same soft, affectionate meow as always.

It was their familiar morning signal.

Usinomics smiled, placed a tiny chef’s hat on the Siamese cat, and dressed him in a casual outfit made for pets.

A fresh fish was added beside the cat food.

Shamnomics finished the meal almost immediately.

After gently stroking his head, Usinomics prepared for the day’s work.

A gate connected Moo66 to the small island where the future headquarters would be built.

The entrance stood inside the penthouse on the third-floor rooftop of Moo66.

The penthouse itself connected directly to the VIP rooms on the second floor, making travel between the two properties simple.

Moments later, Usinomics stepped onto the quiet island.

The sea stretched in every direction.

The only sounds were the waves and the wind.

Construction began immediately.

Because the island faced the open ocean, Usinomics decided that safety came first.

The outer walls were raised to the height of a protective barrier in preparation for possible tsunami waves.

Roads had already been planned inside the property.

From the front, only the tall walls could be seen.

The ocean remained visible only from the rear of the headquarters.

The property was still too small.

Land expansion would have to wait until more acorns had been earned.

For now, the existing walls appeared high enough to withstand ordinary waves.

A small entrance door was installed in the outer wall.

Painting the exterior required far more time than expected.

By the afternoon, exhaustion finally caught up with Usinomics.

The gentle sound of the waves slowly carried him into sleep.

When he opened his eyes again, he found himself resting inside one of the unfinished rooms at the construction site.

He looked around the empty space.

Usinomics returned to Moo66.

There were beds to build.

Storage to prepare.

Emergency food to stock.

A headquarters could not function without supplies.

The first ceiling light was installed.

When the switch clicked, the room filled with warm light.

Even on a small uninhabited island, the essential lifelines were already beginning to take shape.

The headquarters was still far from complete.

But for the first time,

it truly felt like home.

To Be Continued.
