Chapter 196: An RMB Player (2)

When the wishing well Li Chunhua told the Elf and the Aunties of the timely good news, they were full of expectations for the new tailor shop being constructed.

Li Chunhua enlisted the sub-facilities she built along with the group towards the back of the hut residences, and this information increased Auntie and Fairy Godmother Siri’s enthusiasm.

The mandatory appearance white magical fog vanished after 3 minutes, and a small shop occupying 40 square meters of land stood before them.

The design of the tailor shop was no different from a small square wooden textile shop from the Tianmeng Continent with sloping roofs comprising tiles with knobs to help them interlock.

There were three stone steps and a narrow porch. The door was made of wood and single. Li Chunhua lightly pushed it.

Because there was also a candelabra chandelier on the ceiling, they were able to see the two cabinets with empty shelves and four wooden puppets without limbs arranged in a straight line, probably used for the display of soft armor, on their left side.

On their right, there was a long wooden bench and another two empty cabinets placed against the wall, which should be allocated to showcase the shop’s future products.

Lastly, a small desk with a wooden stool was placed in the left corner.

The group carrying their torches stepped inside and touched the things.

Siri and Li Chunhua walked further when they noticed the door behind the desk.

[For Employees Only]

Li Chunhua pushed the door, directed her flashlight, and curiously peeked inside.

The space inside was larger than they expected, and there were 4 doors with a small wooden plaque nailed on each door: [Drying Room], [Weaving and Looming Room], [Tannery], and [Workshop].

The two separated and inspected different rooms.

Li Chunhua chose the Tannery and her brief inspection concluded the following observation.

.

There was weird-looking inclined wooden plank, augmented by two 4x4’s firmly attached lag bolts labeled as [Beams] and four different-size wooden tubs, had various tools like a [Fleshing knife], a [Draw knife], a [Spoke shave], a [Stiff Cleaning Brush], an [Iron Slicker], a [Drying Frame with nylons], a [Corked Soled Board], a [Mallet], and a [Stake].

Each tool only comes in one set.

The room can either be expanded or she can also manufacture more tools at an additional cost. As of now, she can only produce leather manually, but she can avail of the tannery machines [Drums], [Perforating Machine], [Buffing or Dedusting machines], [Automatic Spray guns], [Embossing and Ironing], [Fleshing Machine], and many more for mass production after paying for the necessary materials and coins.

The only problem was that the requirement was the [Energy Plant]. It looks like the matter will be on the main agenda after the tide. Li Chunhua rubbed her chin.

If only she encountered those loaded visitors again.

Siri picked up the loom and weaving room and was instantly greeted by a [Table-frame loom] made of rods and panels fastened at the right angles and constructed to look like a box. There were more than a dozen shafts used to warp threads.

Siri spared a minute of his time circling the table loom scrutinizing the parts before sitting on the small bench and testing it.

Having to spend more than 100 silver coins or 100,000 copper coins in the span of one hour to build the territory’s facilities was only a pipe dream for any players or teams at this moment.

Not to mention the amount of basic construction resources the RMB Player Li Chunhua used to make several facilities in a row would leave anyone speechless, especially after the disaster day consumed most of their resources like wood and stones.

The players and their natives did all they could to replenish the stocks but still weren’t able to accumulate enough for the new facilities or strengthen the defense wall due to their time mostly spent leveling up.

The prices of these in-demand resources in the trade market continued to go up and become more expensive than food and clean water.

Player Hua didn’t focus on the woods, stones, and iron blocks anymore and scrolled past the section selling unknown items without clear uses.

Though the large teams were in better situations, it could not compare to the ’ease’ the RMB Player had, who only needed to worry about the system’s hokage scam techniques, her summons and familiar’s stomach capacities, and the protagonist’s halo that functions both as a trouble magnet and difficulty amplifier.

In the renowned territory called Riveting Winds, with a population of 45, 15 of which were residents...

Having waist-length silky blonde hair that can match Fairy Godmother Siri in a shampoo commercial shooting, Scarlet Tempest was a head-turning beauty, possessing dreamy statistics, peerless looks, a cold, calm, and elegant demeanor, leadership skills, and the list goes on and on.

To borrow the foodie’s food filter vocabulary, Scarlet Tempest was equivalent to a perfectly iced Happy Fat Water that, just from a single sip or glance, any man or woman would never forget.

Scarlet Tempest originally held an executive position in the main office of a conglomerate company and was featured in several magazines, tabloids, and international programs as a guest, which is part of the reason why she was voted as the leader of the team.

But besides being an addicting sweet bubbly beverage, she also packs a punch, and more than a dozen people had already fallen under her fists, cementing her position.

And this was the book’s original female lead, Bai Meiren.

"Have you contacted Baozi about cooperation regarding the healing bandages?" Bai Meirin asked her subordinate.

The man nodded, frowning a second later. "I did. He hasn’t replied. Probably busy. I guessed we’re not the only ones thinking of allying with him."

"Or maybe he thought the prices we offered were a bit high," Meiren replied in deep thought.

The man’s lips tilted downward and were retorted. "High? 50 basic resources for a 10 HP healing bandage is already a generous price. Even if we sell them on the trade market, they will still be sold out. I bet he’s just being greedy and wanting free things."

Meirin shot the man a cold look. "Don’t involve the team in your petty mouth." If that Baozi ever caught whiff of this man’s words, their team will be blacklisted in the future. The Empire of Sands was an example.

"I’m sorry." The man apologized, frightened by Meiren’s gaze.

"Try again and use a milder approach. Once he replies, inform me." Meirin dismissed the man from her log cabin and waited until the latter closed the door before revealing a look only a fan would make while thinking of their favorite band boys.

"When can I meet Baozi?" Sighing in exhaustion, Meirin placed her head on the table and took a quick nap to dream of a faceless man having jammed pack muscles and wrestling a bear on a cold winter day that most players depicted.

"Baozi, look at me, Baozi..." Meirin squealed and extended her hand to touch the abs.

Closer...A little closer...just a little more...

"Leader, I have something to..." There was a series of loud knocks on the door.

Meirin snapped awake and nearly destroyed the door with a fireball. She gritted her teeth and fisted her hands, slamming them on the table. "It was so close!"

The man outside was startled and backed away.

(A/N: Our ML has a potential rival. He he.)

Each badge had a designated, accomplished mission. For example, collect 10, 20, or 30 units of different classes of ingredients. Long Haoran had become a professional hoarder after being with someone for the past few days, and the amount of resources he collected earned him 500 AP.

The battle master section was about defeating the bosses: Normal, Hidden, Elite, Rare, Legendary, and so on, and his balance increased to 2500.

Leveling Up was about his Gourmet Supplier’s progress, which provided him with 300 points.

Last was the special section, and only one badge was unlocked—[Cook a Dragon Egg], and the points he received were generous—5000.

After claiming the points, the ending balance of AP was 7,800 AP. Long Haoran first tried to buy the cheapest skill to test the effect.

[You’ve purchased the skill scroll ’School of Flying Swords Basic Chopping Technique’].

[-300 AP]

[Do you wish to learn the School of Flying Swords Basic Chopping Technique?]

Long Haoran agreed, and the scroll turned into a white light beam and entered his forehead. He didn’t feel anything, but his personal panel registered the skill.

He picked up the chopping knife and peeled one of the carrots first before chopping them into dices.

He didn’t hold so much expectation for the skill, but the moment he visualized how he wanted the carrot to be chopped, something abnormal happened.

[Basic Chopping Technique Activated]

His hands moved fast until only pink afterimages were seen, and just three seconds passed. The carrots were finely chopped into small cubes about 2 x 2 mm, all uniform in size.

But what baffled him were the cut marks on the wooden chopping board with a depth of 5 cm, nearly breaking it.

For him to be able to achieve this result, he would need at least 3 minutes, but that’s without the board marks. It seems he underestimated this Achievement Point Shop. He bought two more skills: one basic slicing technique for 500, and the other was a basic kneading technique to use for making dumpling wrappers and bread later.

The bought skills can also be upgraded, but they consume points. Long Haoran didn’t touch that aspect for the meantime and just closed the tab.

After upgrading to Level 10, he can upgrade 20 ingredients daily. The buff bestowal has increased to 20, and the rare ingredient hunting hint has also become 15.

To maximize the benefits, Long Haoran always upgrades the ingredients in bulks, and to make it possible, he pre-cuts them and places them into the large containers together.

He rolled his sleeves and started washing and peeling the vegetables.

In the midst, the kitchen door opened, and Xiao Hua came in wearing a smile after her great cook chunni disease flared again. "Do you need help, Chef Long?"

Long Haoran burst into sweat.
