Farming With The In-game World - Chapter 49
Chapter 49: Chapter 49: I Want to Flatten the Mountain Before I Sleep Tonight
Initially, Yuan Pan was furious.
Then, he grew aggrieved and anguished.
He did not bite An Wen, and neither did he use his claws to scratch him. Instead, he laid next to An Wen, appearing extremely pitiful as he stared at An Wen with anguish in his small eyes.

An Wen laughed in awkwardness as he then said, “Eh… I was just joking, I’ll start building it now.”
As a top woodworker, it would certainly not be a problem for An Wen to make a nest for Yuan Pan, after he set his heart and mind to it.
He then cut and pieced together several wooden planks.
He even made carvings on the wooden planks and installed mechanisms in certain parts of the nest.
This time around, he was not fooling around with Yuan Pan and devoted all his effort and energy into making the best nest.
Yuan Pan laid on the ground as he watched An Wen working hard to build its nest.
His pitiful gaze gradually vanished and the corners of his mouth gradually raised into a smile.
“Happy ~(*￣︶￣)”
However, when An Wen turned around to look back…
The smile on Yuan Pan’s face immediately turned into a look of grievance, and his pitiful gaze returned.
“Don’t worry, I will finish your nest today even if I don’t sleep tonight.”
An Wen felt extremely guilty when he saw the look of grievance on the ‘child’s’ face.
As such, he put in a great amount of effort.
After working for more than three hours, he finally finished Yuan Pan’s nest. It was past 11 p.m. by then.
“Have a look, do you like it?”
When he finished, he asked Yuan Pan proudly.
He was extremely confident that Yuan Pan would be pleased with the nest that he had built this time.
Wu wu…
Instead of checking out his new nest immediately, Yuan Pan crawled over to An Wen and hugged his ankle with his front legs, his eyes squinting into one line.
He was clearly elated.
“Here, have a look at the nest I designed for you. Check the door out; it will close automatically when you press this wooden plank, so you don’t need to push it.”
“Also, the roof can be opened with a press of this lever, so you can open it when you want to bask in the sun. Besides this…”
An Wen tapped Yuan Pan’s shell and explained how to operate the various mechanisms.
After listening to An Wen’s explanation, Yuan Pan stretched out his claws and pressed the wooden plank in front of the door.
Pressing it downwards, the door opened.
Pushing it upwards, the door closed.
(*^▽^*)
This is so fun, I like it!
Yuan Pan played a game of ‘opening and closing the door’ with great excitement.
Seeing Yuan Pan so happy, An Wen also smiled.
“Take your time to have fun with your new nest, I’ll be going to the mountain mine. We’ll go back home to sleep later.”
Upon finishing his sentence, he left Yuan Pan behind in the camp and headed to the mountain mine.
A few hours had passed since the excavation began.
With the efficiency of the air-powered excavation tools, a large hole should have been excavated from the top of the mountain mine.
Yet, when An Wen arrived at the mountain mine, he witnessed a bewildering scene, leaving him dumbfounded.
An extremely large hole had indeed been carved in the mountain mine.
However, the hole was not on its exterior, but down below.
That’s right, the hole was below the mountain.
Notwithstanding the other layers of the mountain, the scene that An Wen could see directly ahead was a hole of an entire layer of rock that had been drilled away, under another layer that was still present.
It was as if the entire mountain was floating in the air, two meters above the ground.
More specifically, it looked like so:
Mountain
Mountain Mountain
Mountain Mountain
Ground Ground Ground Ground
“What in the world… Newton is going to be driven crazy!”
Nevertheless, as mighty and powerful the heavens and the Earth were, the settings of the game world were the most supreme of them all. What could An Wen do about that?
“It looks like this won’t do. I need to drill from the top down.”
An Wen shrugged helplessly. He then disconnected the electrical cables and dragged the air-powered excavation tools out of the hole.
Fortunately, the electrical cables were only 200 meters long. Had they been any longer, the air-powered excavation tools would have started excavating the copper ore. If that happened and monsters emerged, all of the tools would have been destroyed and gone to waste.
“Never mind, I’ll take a bath and go to sleep first. I’ll continue tomorrow.”
An Wen packed the equipment up before taking a bath. Afterwhich, he returned home with Yuan Pan and his nest, to get a good night’s rest.
The night passed uneventfully.
When An Wen awoke the following day, he first went to the new house to have a look.
The renovation was progressing very quickly, and the floor and wall tiles had all been laid. The false ceiling was also almost complete. Only the corners and the finer details were still in progress.
The on-site manager estimated that they would need at most ten more days before all the renovation work at the new house would be completed.
Upon hearing that, An Wen expressed his satisfaction at their speed.
The renovation would be completed before the new year, leaving more than two months for the new house to be left ventilated. His parents would then be able to move in after the new year, so there were absolutely no delays.
Along the way home, An Wen purchased several small items like power strips, electrical cables, and twine.
After lunch, An Wen traveled to the other world and got down to work, despite it still being nighttime.
“There’s no need for the wooden ox carts anymore. To dig from the top down, I just need to ensure that the air-powered excavation tools remain pointing straight and are constantly digging the rock below.”
“In that case, I’ll make a small stand and use some twine to suspend an air-powered excavation tool, so that the tool would not be tilted as it is drilling into the rock.”
“After the stone material appears, the stand would land steadily onto the rock directly below, since the air-powered excavation tool is suspended in the center and its center of gravity would not deviate.”
“It’s actually simpler to dig the mountain from the top down, but someone would have to keep an eye on it.”
Very quickly, An Wen thought of a new plan to excavate and remove the top of the mountain mine.
However, by digging from the top down, he would have to remain on-site to monitor the progress. Otherwise, the air-powered excavation tools would start digging into the ground.
If the electrical cables were sufficiently long, they might even dig deep enough into the ground that lava would emerge.
“Oh right, I also need two lifts to help lift the air-powered tools up to the top of the mountain. I will die if I have to carry everything up myself.”
After planning what he needed to do in his head, An Wen began making the wooden stands and the lifts.
There were too many wooden stands required, so he simply made one and used it to form a design sketch, then made the wood processing plant produce them automatically.
On the other hand, only two lifts were needed, so he constructed them himself to save the hassle.
More than two hours later, the sky brightened.
An Wen then fetched Yuan Pan to help move items.
Yuan Pan was extremely obedient.
He had received his new nest and was extremely happy, so he was more than willing to put in the effort to help An Wen with his labor work.
An Wen hooked a wooden cart carrying ten large boxes of air-powered excavation tools to Yuan Pan, who dragged it along.
He was not abusing Yuan Pan, for the fact was that he was truly extremely formidable in the other world.
After An Wen moved just a small box of air-powered excavation tools, he would be so tired that it was as if he had run 100 kilometers. His legs would be sore and numb while his entire body ached all over.
On the contrary, when Yuan Pan dragged ten large boxes of tools that weighed a total of 1.3 tonnes, he barely even needed to exert any strength. He could even crawl faster than An Wen could walk.
He may have well been a legendary level ‘boss’.
An Wen could certainly not afford to anger him.
With Yuan Pan’s help, An Wen managed to transport all of the items to the mountain mine very swiftly.
He had brought all 500 air-powered excavation tools this time.
After more than two hours, he assembled every air-powered excavation tool to a stand and moved them to the top of the mountain using lifts.
“The air-powered excavation tool digs at a speed of 20 seconds per standard-sized cube, so it would only need 1200 seconds for a height of 60 meters. That’s slightly fast.”
Despite saying so, An Wen still turned on the power source without hesitation.
Brum brum brum…
Five hundred air-powered excavation tools began working simultaneously. The scene looked extremely spectacular.
Twenty seconds later, all of the rock at the top of the mountain mine emerged as stone material and fell to the ground. The air-powered excavation tools on their stands then ‘descended’ one layer and continued digging.
“It satisfies my OCD perfectly.”
The sight of the stone material emerging all at once and the tools descending one layer neatly was certainly extremely pleasant for those with obsessive-compulsive disorder.
“I want to flatten the mountain before I sleep tonight.”
An Wen said gallantly as he stood on top of the lift.
