Chapter 143: Preparations for Disaster (1)

Upon realizing the sender of the air express deliveries was his Master, Siri ordered the natives to make four pens.

Seeing the level 5 and above monsters, the natives except for Fern were shivering and hid behind Siri.

Siri massaged his temples and called the freeloader Little Mantou and the accountant intern Elga to watch over the livestock first, prevent them from harming the probationary residents. While he, and Little Ginseng carry and transfer the plants, shrubs, crops and trees at the back of the main residence to the greenhouse.

Having relieved from the mental torture, Elga agreed immediately. Little Mantou was lazy and didn’t want to move but when the Elf said he wouldn’t be able to have his lunch, the gluttonous fox became energetic.

With the help of these two and Fern from the sidelines, the natives build four pens besides the crocs’ enclosure with a half of a meter of distance between them.

After that, Loli Elga and Fern led the four livestock with the threat of weapons. The four monsters were defiant at first, but when they noticed the crocodiles eating on a patch of tree leaves, they shivered from fear and didn’t put a struggle anymore.

The two crocs saw them let out a low bellow full of sarcasm: Welcome to the vegan life.

The four monsters were confused until Loli Elga thrown a pile of leaves on their pen.

"I just freshly plucked these from the trees the Old Witch sent by air. You can eat now."

The two crocs snorted.

The four monsters: "..."

Meanwhile, in the greenhouse, Siri’s eyes glided first on the trees.

[Advance Appraisal Skill Activated]

[Sunny Azalea: Grade: First-Class

-It is a tree that bears citrusy and sweet orange fruit. These can be made into candies, jams and desserts.]

[Fragrant Hazenutbirch: Grade: Second-Class

-Its red beany fruits can be crushed into sweetened paste-filled desserts or eaten directly. Long-term consumption grants additional stats points.]

[Imperial Cornifern: Grade: Second-Class

-Produce a special breed of corn. Long-term consumption grants additional stats.]

Other than these, he also used appraisal skill on the rest.

[Wild Peanut: Grade: First-Class]

[Golden Potato: Grade: First-Class]

[Snakeberries: Grade: First-Class]

[Sanguine Leek: Grade: First-Class]

He was confused because this was not among the resources he marked nor was it included in the three’s scribbles.

Nevertheless, these are good finds. The meals on the table will be richer after these mature.

Apart from the snakeberry bush that was now devoid of fruits thanks to someone’s bald plucking, the others have not produced fruits yet. Siri replant the trees besides the greenhouse with two meters in distance between the roots.

As for the rest, Siri made temporary wooden beddings filling them the soil of the system field before planting them outside the greenhouse.

"Ji ji ji." (There are so many friends!) Little Ginseng helped the Elf in digging the soil and drilling a hole for the roots.

The two spent half an hour before they finished.

After completing the task, he gathered the natives to follow him outside.

Surrounding the edges of the newly-dug well were the ten natives and Siri. Since the barrier was around, there was no need to hasten the drainage system.

He had the natives make a well wooden base shaped like a barrel, made two sturdy pillars to support the roof and the wooden spindle before he made a hole to fit it in before adding a wooden washer from the wood scraps and a spinning handle.

Afterwards, a wooden bucket a quarter of a meter was assembled with its handle tied to one end of the rope. The other end was tied to the spindle.

After constructing the well, Siri had the natives embedded stones around the barrel base to prevent them slipping.

He then threw the bucket to the water before spinning and the bucket was raised full of Pure Spring Water.

[Pure Spring Water]

[Advanced Appraisal Skill activated]

[-Came from a pure water source hidden deep in the mountain. No need for sterilization and boiling. It is ready for drinking. Long term Consumption can help boost immune system]

Amazing.

He wasn’t expecting they will be able to possess this resource point with additional effects. Most importantly, its capacity, 1 CFS is 2447 cubic meter or 646,320 gallons of water each day and equivalent to a 724 acre-feet of water per year. It can alone supply the needs of a large territory unless there’s a drought.

They need to protect this well.

He cupped a handful of water and took a sip. The water was cool, refreshing and there was no metallic taste.

"Have a taste." He stepped aside and let the others try the water.

"This is better than our boiled one and those from the game loots." One of the natives remarked which the other agreed.

Siri wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked at the sky. Unlike yesterday, the sun was not visible but covered with clouds. An omen for the disaster day tomorrow, he needed to strengthen the facilities inside.

But first, it required hemp rope. Yesterday, he got many hemp stalks because the area he landed had a river bank, marshes, thickets and the meadow was wet.

"Brother Siri, while I’m off to earn money. Make sure to tie the roofs to the ground by wooden stakes and ropes. I don’t know if the barrier can block the wind. It’s better to be prepared. Oh, and can you have a look at these?"

His Master’s words rang into his mind and the things she gave resurfaced. Siri dismissed the thoughts first and focused on the current task.

Siri divide the natives into three groups, three team which Fern was included was to help him in making rope and the second team was to make barrels headed by Rioli to stock on water since they won’t be able to fetch once the disaster hits. So far, he only has three barrels to spare which was not enough.

And stoves that can be brought inside the hut.

The last team led by the human who knows woodworking was to make additional infrastructure that could strengthen the facilities, especially the greenhouse.

A chilly wind blew past them and the human-like natives and Siri felt a slight shiver. Fern and rest were used to harsh weather and this cold didn’t bother them.

He will make cotton clothes later. Siri said in his mind before grabbing the stalks from the warehouse.

[Foot of the Mountain, in the same forest as those Crocs, Mosquitos and Friendly Imps’ Habitats]

[10:04 a.m.]

"This is the hemp plant you’re looking for." Long Haoran bent his over and plucked the one-meter stalk. The aromatic scent of the plant drilled into his nose. His fingers rubbed greenish stalk with a little bit force and some moist fibers appeared in his hand.

[Glonel Hemp: Grade: First-Class]

[Basic Appraisal Skill activated]

[-Can be used to create sacks, bags, pouch and ropes]

"It really is. Chef Long, can you wait for five minutes? I’m just going plucked them clean." Li Chunhua asked.

"Let me help you." Long Haoran started to harvest the stem and storing it inside his inventory.

[You’ve got a unit of hemp stalk]

[You’ve got a unit of hemp stalk]

"Then, thank you." Li Chunhua also joined him. Chef Long is so kind!

[You’ve got a unit of hemp stalk]

[You’ve got a unit of hemp...]

Since the monsters in the with several hundred meters were already eliminated by her casual flick and the cook’s frying pan and dagger, the two were able to peacefully harvest the plants.

Before it was five minutes, the resource point was bald. Li Chunhua gained 1267 units of hemp, including the 254 that Long Haoran handed over.

Li Chunhua glanced at the map and searched for the hemp label and made ’x’ mark. Seeing the numerous resource points, the salted fish pursed her lips but for the 25 gold, she endured.

After the hemp, the two walked around with the map as a guide. They encountered monsters, picked up the loots, and extracted resources.

Li Chunhua was able to gain a lot, [Silk Flax-2756 units], [Rhyming Nettle- 1357 units], [Cotton- 3278 units], [Bezel Bamboo (3 meters)- 456 units], [Various Fruits-1275 units], [Variety of Wild Vegetables- 325 units], [Assortment of Monsters’ Hides- 1568 units], [White quality weapons and equipment- 1239], [Experience Points- 33934] and [Copper coins- 83,677].

Long Haoran also had his own spoils but mostly of it were ingredients, [Bamboo Shoots- 24 units], [Graus Chilies- 456 units], [Terrarium Mushroom Puffs- 42 units], [Solaire Bean Sprouts], [Heren Garlic-23 cloves], [Spring Onions- 56 units], [Star Anise- 37 units], [Rapeseed- 53 units], [Brophy Jujube- 24 units] and [ Sarope Wheat- 190 units].

He wasn’t supposed to find these plants but someone kept bumping into them. Though, there was a recipe that came into his mind, "We can make a hotpot."

⚆_⚆ Hotpot?

Although his mumble was so tiny for anyone to hear, the foodie who never miss an opportunity, retrieved her attention from calculating the copper coins and tugged a corner of his windbreaker.

"Chef Long , did you say hotpot?" Li Chunhua gulped imagining the food in her mind.

Long Haoran was about to reply when Li Chunhua received a notification.

[You’ve received a message from Player Hua]

[Player Hua]: Baozi, the people don’t want to trade food but rather, cold and rain gear and water. Lots of water, apparently some newbie mountains already a hot and dry place. Some players died of mosquito attacks, dehydration, and heat stroke.

[Player Hua]: Baozi, is your territory near some water source. My newbie mountain is also experiencing the same thing.

[Player Little Baozi]: Water? I have plenty of them and I will sell them for copper coins!

Here comes the money! ヾ(⌐■_■)ノ♪

Long Haoran also received a message.

[Ten Thousand Autumn]: Your wooden barrels are ready.

[Dumpling Duke]: How much?

[Ten Thousand Autumn]: Give me Happy Fat Water

Long Haoran narrowed his eyes. Happy Fat Water?

Li Chunhua wanted to extend her talk with Player Hua but a message caught her attention.

[Ten thousand Autumn]: I have Happy Fat Water. Can I trade with you?

The Happy Fat Water addict had star in her eyes.
