Chapter 152: Chapter 68 Also, don’t forget to rest

The Eco-friendly Frog had just opened when it continuously brought Li Yu a massage chair and a basketball.

The former had probably been discarded because its synthetic leather surface had extensively flaked off, while the latter was somewhat deformed with a small bulge.

In the universe where Li Yu resided, these items were indeed definitive junk; at least most people who saw them by the roadside wouldn’t think of taking them home.

But in Bratis, they looked much more appealing.

After all, even a broken massage chair was much more comfortable than those gem-studded stools in the nobles’ homes, not to mention that this chair came with a built-in massage function.

Although it needed to be plugged in to work, all Li Yu needed to do was bring a high-capacity battery to get it operable.

As for recharging, he could use the solar panels sold by the battery merchant.

Or in the future, he could go a step further and build a simple power station using a nearby stream.

The conduits and turbines would be made of PVC pipes (because they are light and easier to carry than metal pipes), the core generator and voltage-stabilized filter circuit boards couldn’t be manufactured there, but they weren’t heavy either. They could almost always be brought over in one go after purchasing online, and then connected to a battery to collect the electricity generated by the power station.

The same principle could be applied to harness wind or steam power to generate electricity.

If it weren’t for the dragon in the swamp, building a mill had been Li Yu’s next plan.

On the Bratis Continent, it was usually only lords in the nobles’ estates who built mills, and most of those were powered by human or animal labor to shell grains and grind them into flour.

Serfs or free farmers on the estate had to pay a fee or work for the lord to earn the right to use the mill.

However, this method of flour production was obviously outdated. The problem could simply be solved by adding a windmill, yet people still toiled, which clearly did not align with the teachings of the Double Rest Sect.

Furthermore, the windmill, when not being used to grind flour, could also generate electricity, serving dual purposes beautifully.

Li Yu was pondering this, when the lower right corner of the sunglasses he wore suddenly started to flicker, and Li Yu noticed an exclamation mark there and shifted his gaze.

Then, a small window popped up— "New Task Detected."

[Side Quest 7] Build a windmill to further deepen the followers’ devotion to Saturday. Reward: 200 faith points. Accept/Decline?

"......."

Seeing this, Li Yu couldn’t help but marvel; these "Game Glasses" really were committed to gamifying everything.

Unlike those protagonists in online novels with in-built systems who were gifted everything effortlessly, Li Yu’s task rewards were not handed out by the system for free.

According to his own estimates, once the mill was built, it would indeed help the Double Rest Sect gain more followers and collect more faith, but whether the increase would be exactly 200 faith points was uncertain.

Li Yu guessed that the number might just be a rough estimate by the system built into the "Game Glasses," similar to those levels and health bars; or it might just be a random number thrown out there.

After all, the system never specified when the reward would be issued. Once Li Yu had accumulated enough "fifty units" of faith, the "Game Glasses" could unabashedly claim that the reward had already been issued.

In the end, every mission reward was essentially Li Yu fooling himself; the system did not contribute a dime, merely indulging in lip service.

Although it might seem self-deceptive, that didn’t mean the quest system was entirely useless.

At least through the task format, Li Yu had listed all the items that needed to be done, such as the "Main Quest" on his task panel that required investigating the dragon in the swamp.

This was the most critical matter for Li Yu during this period, and he also had several ongoing side quests, such as "Side Quest 2" which was to build a new home, with a progress note diligently marked (29/300).

It meant that on the territory of the Double Rest Sect, 29 red brick houses had already been completed, with a remaining gap of 271 houses to reach the final goal of 300.

Or the nearly completed "Side Quest 3" to build dry latrines (25/30).

The importance of dry latrines even preceded that of the new homes, as it was another project that Li Yu was pushing forward with all his might.

There was no choice, without red brick homes, the lizard people could still sleep in trees, but without dry latrines, they would just defecate anywhere, which was unpleasant to smell, and it also wasted precious fertilizer.

Therefore, as soon as the red bricks were ready, Li Yu immediately started the construction of the dry latrines.

One dry latrine, eight holes, four for males and four for females, totaling 240 holes, averaging 4-5 people per hole, which was barely sufficient for the current phase.

With such tangible numbers, the system did not spout nonsense, and the numbers were even updated in real-time, allowing Li Yu to manage the progress of various tasks.

Thus, it seemed that the "Game Sunglasses", which looked cool but otherwise useless, actually provided considerable convenience for Li Yu’s work.

Hence, even knowing that the rewards were all null, Li Yu still chose to accept "Side Quest 7".

Afterward, he dragged the massage chair into the house, and true, the thing was quite heavy; even though Li Yu had recently started working out, he was sweating from the effort.

The little maid looked a bit puzzled as she helped Li Yu, asking, "So, are we going to have a dungeon now?"

"Why would you think of a dungeon? This chair is for us to sit on, um, when you have time, knit a cover for it, yeah, cover it up so that the peeling leather won’t be visible."

"This is for us to sit on? I thought it was for interrogating prisoners."

"Who would use a massage chair to interrogate prisoners."

When Li Yu placed the massage chair next to the wall, Clara, curious, sat down in it and was quickly conquered by the soft sensation beneath her, uttering a comfortable moan.

"My goodness, this chair is way too comfortable! I feel like I never want to get up from this chair again in my life."

"Not only that, it has even more comfortable features, but right now they can’t be activated," Li Yu said.

"Looking forward to it, ah! If only I could go to the Divine Country too!" the little maid said with a longing look, "I’d go to that what, 24-hour convenience store to eat something cool, and when tired, sit on the massage chair, oh, and also try that cola you mentioned."

However, after she finished speaking, Li Yu did not respond this time.

It was the first time Clara saw such a complex expression on Li Yu’s face.

Moments later, the Saturday’s spokesperson in the mortal world finally spoke again, "Rather than envying another world, it’s better to work hard to turn our own world into the ideal state."

"Got it, got it, building the Land God Kingdom with our Lord Saturday is the mission of every Double Rest Sect believer. Prophet, you’ve said it many times, and I will also strive, listening to you and study diligently."

"Also, never forget to rest regularly," Li Yu reminded, "Efficiency isn’t everything, all your efforts should be for a better enjoyment of life."
