Chapter 34, House 1
After harvesting the parsnip and garlic, only a little over a thousand cabbage plants remained in the field.
This crop takes six days to mature, meaning it can only be harvested the day after tomorrow. However, each cabbage has an experience point of 17.
Once all the harvest is complete, the farming skill will reach the maximum level of Lv.10.
At that time.
There is a 1% chance of obtaining the most premium life-sustaining food...
--Iridium quality!
Despite the low probability, the effects of this quality food are terrifying. To sum it up in one sentence: whoever eats it will become extraordinary!
Moreover, games are not like reality.
In reality, he owns such a large farm that if he expands it fully later, he could eat more Iridium crops than he could eat as snacks.
pity.
Before having sufficient self-defense capabilities, harvesting must be done secretly.
Once it gets out.
Not only the entire empire, but the whole continent is likely to be thrown into turmoil.
"These days..."
"Farming has caused problems."
Richard sighed helplessly, explaining why he had preferred to sell a batch of grain to buy supplies rather than buy more serfs before setting off.
If there are too many people and things get out of control, it's easy for word to leak out.
...
Back at the camp, Richard said goodbye to Carl and rode off on his Great Wall.
Today is a beautiful, sunny day, definitely an auspicious day for breaking ground and building a house.
It has to be.
Upon arriving at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, we could see Aaron wielding a pickaxe, vigorously chiseling at a large blue boulder.
Compared to the previous two days, most of the boulders near the riverbank have been broken up, and neat round stones have been laid all over the riverbank.
Good day, my lord.
When Aaron and Anthony, who was guarding him, saw Richard arrive, they quickly put down their tools and bowed to greet him.
Richard, having turned his luck around, patted Anthony on the shoulder.
"Thank you for your hard work, Aaron. How's the mining going?"
Aaron scratched his head and began his report.
"Reporting to Your Excellency."
"Currently, we can mine up to twenty large stones a day. Each large stone can be broken down into ten to fifteen round stones, and we now have a total of five hundred and forty."
"I wasn't very familiar with it the first couple of days, so I wasted some time."
"But please rest assured, sir, I have mastered the technique of exerting force, and I will definitely be able to improve my efficiency a lot in the future."
Richard nodded slightly.
Aaron was just a serf who spent half his life farming and had never even touched a pickaxe, let alone mined.
Given the long-term malnutrition, it's normal for the initial growth rate to be slow. As the body becomes stronger, the harvesting volume will naturally increase.
"Let's continue."
He waved his hand, dismissing the two men, and then opened the system panel in his mind, switching to the [Building Interface].
The panel also has two sub-interfaces: [Diverse Housing] and [Functional Buildings].
As the name suggests.
The 【Functional Buildings】section contains specific buildings with game-like functions, such as 【Kitchen】, 【Chicken Coop】, 【Livestock Shed】, and 【Mill】.
All the previously unlocked recipes must be cooked in the [Kitchen], otherwise the cooked dishes will not have any game attributes.
However, the materials required for these buildings are more complex, and they cannot be built for the time being.
The "Diverse Housing" category is simpler, with only five distinct housing styles.
Stone houses with stone as the main body and wood as the roof; wooden houses built entirely of wooden planks; log houses made of logs; model houses with a combination of stone and wood; and old-fashioned rural houses.
All building materials must meet the following requirements: 200 stones, 200 wood, and 10 silver coins.
Although the timber is still with Ted, we can first build the framework in the system interface.
This feature does save time and trouble in transporting materials.
Of the five types of houses, Richard preferred the stone house the most because its style was more in line with the characteristics of the era.
of course.
The other four types also have their own advantages. In the future, when the chiffon collar is expanded, all of them will definitely be included to avoid monotony and boredom.
Click the build icon for the stone house, and a construction diagram will pop up on the screen.
The walls are made of dark gray square bricks arranged in an alternating pattern, and a chimney shaft extends from the brown triangular roof, which is quite exquisite and beautiful.
[Architecture: Stone House]
Area: 100 square meters
[Layout: One bedroom, one living room, one bathroom]
[Strong and durable: earthquake resistant to level 10]
[Tools needed: Hammer]
Construction time: three days
【所需材料:石头0/200、木材0/200、银币10/10】
...
Richard focused his attention on the round stones on the riverbank, and a system notification immediately sounded in his mind.
[Hint: Add 200 units of stone to the stone house?]
【Yes】
The moment it was confirmed, 200 round stones on the riverbank vanished into thin air, leaving only large and small pits.
This sudden turn of events left both Aaron and Anthony speechless.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
They could both see the surprise on each other's faces.
However, they were sensible and did not ask any questions, but their eyes were filled with awe when they looked at Richard.
The lord's "magical power" is truly terrifying!
...
After adding the stone materials, Richard flipped himself onto the back of the Great Fortune and patted its neck.
"Walk!"
"Go to Ted's area to collect timber."
With a low roar, Dayun strode off towards the grove.
It ran much faster than Richard had imagined, comparable to a heavy-duty truck on the highway, completely overturning his perception that large size must be cumbersome.
Each step he took caused a slight tremor in the ground, which could probably be felt a kilometer away.
Not long after.
After rounding the protruding foot of the snow-capped mountain, a grove of trees comes into view.
only...
Richard noticed that Im was pulling Ted toward his horse, looking like he was fleeing in panic.
He was puzzled.
They quickly told Da Yun to slow down.
"grown ups...?"
Im recognized Richard, and the panic on his face instantly turned into embarrassment. He loosened Ted's collar and stepped forward to bow.
"I thought it was a monster attack, and I was just about to take Ted away."
Ted's face turned red from being squeezed by the collar, and he coughed wildly a few times while covering his neck. He also quickly stepped forward to greet him.
Richard couldn't help but laugh at their disheveled appearance.
"Sorry, the Universiade was quite loud when it started running, it probably startled you."
After reassuring him, he began to inquire about the details of the job.
"How much timber have been collected?"
Ted turned and pointed to a clearing in the woods, where logs over a meter long were scattered everywhere.
"Reporting to Master, more than 230 trees have been cut down and are piled up over there."
Richard nodded.
This amount was harvested yesterday; the two of them only arrived today, so the yield isn't much.
Using the mental control panel, add 200 units of wood to the building frame of the stone house.
All done!
Having just warmed up, the Universiade turned around and sped away with Richard on its back, leaving Ted and Im equally dumbfounded.
Back at our base.
Richard quickly selected a construction site, which was located right in the center of the entire encampment.
The reason for choosing this location is that, in his plan, the first house will serve as the base coordinate for the future chiffon castle complex.
