Farming With The In-game World - Chapter 48

Chapter 48: Chapter 48: Digging a Mine

“What on Earth!”

The moment An Wen awoke the following morning, he noticed Yuan Pan’s head right in front of him.

“You gave me a good scare… Why did you come into the bedroom?”

Looking at Yuan Pan, An Wen was completely at a loss for words.

(*^▽^*)

Yuan Pan was opening his mouth slightly while smiling at him.

An Wen rolled his eyes.

He knew that Yuan Pan had been waiting for him to wake up and was purposely acting cute.

Regardless, his means were extremely obvious – it was all for his nest.

“Alright, alright, I know. I’ll make your nest when I finish the rest of the work today.”

An Wen tapped Yuan Pan’s shell, expressing that he had not forgotten about the task at hand.

Receiving a satisfactory reply, Yuan Pan turned around and left An Wen’s bedroom. He then went to the living room to bathe in the sun.

“What? did I bamboozle him yesterday?”

As An Wen brushed his teeth, he thought about what he had told Yuan Pan the day before.

He could still remember what he said in the beginning, but later on, he got too excited and carried away as he just blurted out whatever he thought of. He absolutely could not remember everything that he told Yuan Pan.

“This is slightly awkward…”

Even after washing up, An Wen still could not recall what he said.

Nevertheless, it would not be a problem at all – since he managed to bamboozle Yuan Pan successfully the previous day, he would surely be able to do likewise again.

“Wait for me at home, I have matters to attend to in the morning. I will make your nest when I return in the afternoon.”

An Wen told Yuan Pan before leaving his house.

Looking at An Wen leaving, Yuan Pan smiled so brightly that his eyes began squinting. In the afternoon, he would finally have a simple but luxurious and modern nest. It would have a science-fiction and mystery-infused style, with rustic and baroque styles at the same time.

(*^▽^*)

He was extremely excited and looking forward to it!

However, what he did not know was that An Wen was just boasting and bamboozling him the day prior, and he could not even remember what he had said.

“Boss, please give me the usual, and add more sugar to the soy beancurd.”

Arriving at his usual breakfast stall, An Wen had already cast aside the matter about Yuan Pan’s nest.

As he was waiting for his food, he did not scroll through his Weibo feed, nor did he browse Bilibili. Instead, he logged in to his WeChat and contacted the merchant who sold the air-powered excavation tools.

He then asked: “Where’s the delivery man now? What time will the goods arrive?”

“Good morning Sir, your goods have already been packed and are waiting at Kun Mountain right now. They will arrive in approximately one and a half hours.”

“Alright, got it.”

An Wen closed the WeChat conversation with the merchant. He was extremely pleased with their delivery speed.

Following which, he contacted the other merchant who sold the blacksmithing forges and was told that the goods had already been prepared and would be delivered in two hours’ time.

An Wen was extremely happy.

All the goods would be delivered in the morning, so it would be less of a hassle for him as he would not need to receive the goods separately.

Finishing his breakfast, An Wen went to buy more barrels of diesel fuel, before heading to the warehouse to wait for the goods to be delivered.

Do not underestimate the electricity consumption of the other world – the amount of diesel fuel that An Wen had used over time was actually quite significant.

After purchasing the diesel fuel, An Wen headed to the warehouse, and before long, the delivery vehicles had arrived.

An Wen spent the entire morning transporting all the goods to the warehouse in the other world. In the afternoon, when the sun rose in the other world, he would be able to start assembling them.

At noon, An Wen went to a grand hotel for lunch.

Regrettably, the food cooked by the chef of the hotel tasted less delicious than the takeout he ordered and brought to the other world to eat the previous day.

It was only one o’clock in the afternoon when An Wen returned home.

There was still more than an hour before day broke in the other world.

Seizing the opportunity, An Wen decided to head over to the fitness center to work out first. By the time he finished working out, he would be just in time for sunrise.

“You want to go too? It’s not daytime yet over there.”

Just as An Wen was about to travel to the other world after changing his clothes, he was stopped by Yuan Pan.

He also wanted to go.

No matter what An Wen said, Yuan Pan continued grabbing onto his leg and refused to let go.

“Alright then, I’ll bring you along.”

Bringing Yuan Pan along, An Wen traveled to the other world.

The location they appeared at was the warehouse, since An Wen had just been transporting the goods over and the location was set there.

“It’s extremely cold outside, are you sure you will be fine going out like that?”

An Wen was about to leave the warehouse and head to the fitness center, but he was still unsure if Yuan Pan would be able to acclimatize to the cold temperature of -45 degrees outside.

Yuan Pan stretched his claws out the door of the warehouse to sense the temperature outside. After confirming that it was not a problem, he crawled out of the warehouse.

“Alright then, you’re strong.”

An Wen watched as Yuan Pan crawled nonchalantly in the cold, 45 degrees below freezing. What more could he say?

Yuan Pan was simply a legendary creature! He could not afford to anger him!

Reaching the fitness center, An Wen started working out.

Yuan Pan laid at the side and watched An Wen silently as he worked out.

Nevertheless, the impatience in its heart showed through his darting eyes as he continued glancing at the sky outside, waiting in anticipation for it to turn bright.

Finally, the sky brightened.

An Wen had not yet finished working out, so Yuan Pan crawled over and began circling around him.

“Enough, stop circling around me, I’m going to get dizzy if you continue doing that.”

“I know it’s already daytime, but I still need to do some labor work first. I’ll build your nest after the proper work is done.”

An Wen curled his lips upwards helplessly – he knew…

As long as he did not build Yuan Pan’s nest, he would never get to enjoy peace.

An Wen waited until the sun was shining brightly before he left the fitness center. By then, the snow outside had completely melted and the temperature had risen to around 28 degrees.

He then headed to the warehouse and retrieved the air-powered excavation tools.

Yuan Pan helped him to unbox them while he retrieved the wooden ox carts that had already been made. Then, he began assembling the air-powered excavation tools onto them.

The entire process took more than two hours.

“They’re finally all assembled.”

Two hundred wooden ox carts fitted with air-powered excavation tools were arranged neatly in front of An Wen.

“Let’s have a look at the effects before going for a meal.”

An Wen got down to work once again and transported everything to the mining cave.

More than an hour later…

In front of the cliff wall by the entrance of the mining cave, 200 wooden ox carts had been arranged in one row by An Wen.

After checking everything once and making sure that there were no problems, he turned on 10 small electric motors in order.

The switches of all the air-powered excavation tools on the wooden ox carts had already been turned on previously, but they were not connected to a power source at that time.

Now that the electric motors were turned on and functioning, electricity flowed through the motors of the air-powered excavation tools and they began working.

Brum brum brum…

Tum tum tum…

At that moment, all of the wooden ox carts equipped with the air-powered excavation tools began hitting the cliff wall continuously like a woodpecker pecking wood.

The reaction force from the air-powered excavation tools hitting the cliff wall caused the wooden ox carts to move backwards slightly; however, at the same time, the forward center of gravity, coupled with the pre-designed mechanisms, allowed them to move forward perpetually.

“Perfect!”

Watching as the wooden ox carts continuously dug into the cliff wall, An Wen clapped his hands in joy.

What’s mining from inside the cave?

That’s never going to happen. I’m going to flatten the entire mountain and mine in the open.

Twenty seconds later, 200 cubes of stone material suddenly emerged beside the 200 wooden ox carts.

At the same time, the cliff wall in front of the wooden ox carts lost one meter.

Without the reaction force of the cliff wall on the wooden ox carts, they moved forward and very quickly came into contact with the cliff wall once again. They then continued digging.

Upon watching the process, An Wen was completely relieved.

“It’s almost 7 p.m., I’ll go for my dinner first.”

The moment An Wen turned around, he noticed Yuan Pan staring at him.

“Don’t worry, I’ll make your nest when I return from dinner. I’m a man of my word.”

An Wen was feeling extremely jolly and was not answering the question superficially.

After his dinner…

An Wen headed to the wood processing plant. Yuan Pan laid at the side, staring at An Wen in anticipation.

Retrieving the wood material, he prepared to break them down.

Then…

He froze mid-action.

“Eh… What’s your nest supposed to be like again?”

“… (•́へ•́╬)”
