Chapter 99: Construction Mode

As much as Li Chunhua wanted to supervise, aka lurk, and have a pre-tasting spree in the kitchen, she had tons of things to do first.

[Do you wish to spend 15 units of wood, 5 units of lime stones, 1 metal block, and 200 copper coins to build a basic Hut residence?]

Li Chunhua agreed.

As with how the farm had emerged, a white fog covered 50 meters of land. Li Chunhua chose a vacant space for the hut on the east side of the land, several meters away from the otherworldly gate platform.

Since the territory was still in its starting phase and the residents were only less than ten, she wasn’t going to focus on the layout. Her attention within this first week will be on the farm and defense facilities.

The fog only lasted for two minutes, and a simple hut house was shaped like a pyramid, with both the edges of its roof touching the ground. The walls are made of wooden planks and look sturdier than she expected, which is even better than her dilapidated cottage.

She opened the wooden door, and ten beds were neatly placed. There were five on both sides, and there were small cabinets besides each bed. No other furniture.

It was a little crude, but clean.

Li Chunhua started dragging the beds, combining three of them into one before placing the mattress, blankets, and pillowcases stuffed with cotton fabrics. She did another one for the new guy.

She also stuffed the small cabinets with necessities such as toothbrushes and cups, as well as extra bedding. As for the clothes, Brother Siri would be the one in charge until he recruited a tailor.

Li Chunhua went out and started construction mode.

[Do you wish to spend 40 units of stone and 7 units of metal blocks to build a warehouse (Tendra Civilization)?]

She tapped yes, and her metal block stocks were reduced by 8. The first was from building the basic hut. While there were only 89 stones left in her inventory.

The warehouse was a simple log cabin that had long shelves built inside with 200 slots. Each square was small but imbued with some kind of space array. Li Chunhua planned to open the rest of the treasure chests before she allocated resources to fill them.

The defense wall is about 2 meters wide. For a 200-meter square of land, she needed to build 28, which would cost her 280 units of stones and 140 units of granite, which made her helpless.

She tried her luck on Player Hua, thinking she might encounter some while picking up lime stones.

[Player Little Baozi]: Do you have perhaps any granite?

[Player Hua]: I don’t have any.

Li Chunhua could only rely on the trade market, but before that, she was conservative about the price.

[Player Little Baozi]: Is granite difficult to find?

[Player Hua]: It’s difficult to find. Only certain mountains have it, and the extraction is also a headache without any equipment.

Because Little Baozi was a big name among the players, once Li Chunhua posted on the trade market, players who had been waiting for an update instantly shared his news on the global chat, and speculation about his purpose of buying granite was discussed.

[Diving Fritter]: Anyone with ample knowledge? What is granite for?

[The Geek]: Granite that has been polished and rough-cut is utilized for paving, monuments, buildings, bridges, and several other outside projects. Polished granite slabs and tiles are utilized indoors for many different functional and ornamental aspects, such as stair treads, tile flooring, and counters.

[Stairway to your heart]: We poor players are still in the primitive age while someone is already thinking about making a stone house?

[Diving Fritter]: Is he really building a stone house? Maybe you’re overthinking, and Little Baozi was just asking.

[Stairway to Heaven]: *screenshot jpeg* Little Baozi is willing to pay 5 units of wood or 500 g of food for a granite! Damn! I wish I had found at least one. I only have one loaf of bread and one water bottle left.

Some players, after seeing the post, were moved and discussed it with their friends.

[Diving Fritter]: Upstairs, Geek, buddy, do you know where to find them?

[The Geek] It is often found in the circular depressions surrounded by a range of hills, but there’s a fat chance you’ll acquire one because you need some equipment to cut them into slabs.

The players who wanted to try their chances at making a business out of the granite were deflated.

But not all of them were. Li Chunhua was still able to get some granite, but it was not a lot; she only managed to exchange noodles for 16 pieces of granite and also received a proposal.

[Dauntless Spear]: My territory is near a granite deposit, and I have several dwarves ready to mine. I would like to discuss a long-term partnership with you.

[Little Bazoi]: What do you want?

[Dauntless Spear]: I would like to open a blacksmith, but that will deprive me of the right to a farm. The place where I live hardly has a food resource point. If you could provide me with water and food, I would not only provide granite but also offer you discounts on future weapons.

The only attractive part of his offer was the granite and his natives, since she had higher-level weapons at her disposal. Food was precious at an early stage, and if she agrees, she will be at a disadvantage.

Dwarfs are excellent miners and weapon forgers. They have special skills in increasing their chances of mining special ores. She may have had the chance to build a quarry, but she had no workers. Players in the early stages will not be able to see their value; that’s why she planned to use Player to purchase them low-key.

[Little Baozi]: Instead of the discounts, I want ores instead. Once you obtain one, we’ll discuss the price. By the way, how many units of granite can your native mines produce in a day?

The other side took several minutes to respond, probably discussing her offer with somebody. Li Chunhua waited until she heard a beeping sound.

[Dauntless Spear]: Alright, once I find an ore, I will contact you. My natives can mine roughly 15 granites per day.

[Little Baozi]: Reserve them for me.

A series of notifications rang in the Dauntless Player’s ear.

[You’ve got 15 packs of sauerkraut noodles.]

[You’ve got 15 bottles of 500 ml of spring water.]

[You’ve got two loaves of bread.]

The man with chapped lips and sunken cheeks cried before distributing the water bottles to his five natives, who were in the same state as him.

Meanwhile, Li Chunhua was unaware that there was someone observing her from afar.

(A/N: I don’t know if I’m able to upload the other two Chapters tonight. Life is getting me down since yesterday. I don’t want to upload repeat Chapters just so that I could get extra money and fool you. But I’ll continue the extra Chapters tomorrow regardless of the gift refund. It’s entirely my fault and and apologized. Little Baozi is a little sad.)
