The Sun has set, the light in the forest instantly darkened a lot. Flocks of birds landed and flew off from the tree branches. In the distance, an eagle flew past proudly, quickly entering the clouds.

In the deeper part of the forest, there were roaring sounds from some unknown beast that Li Siwen had never heard before.

The night was about to come, the other side of the mirror was going to present itself. It would be way more dangerous than it was in the daytime.

Knowing this, Li Siwen quickened up to build his treehouse.

According to the side length of the treehouse, he moved the logs over, like stacking toy blocks, placing them on the inside of the four big trees, forming a quadrilateral.

In this way, the four big trees outside would intercept, so there was no need to worry about the collapse of the treehouse or not being stable enough.

For every four logs placed, Li Siwen used vines to securely bind the two ends of the logs to the large tree outside, and then moved four logs and continued to build them into a quadrilateral shape, continuing to tie them with vines.

After tying 20 logs in one breath, the treehouse already had an outline. Five logs on each side form a four-sided wooden wall, almost three meters in height.

Of course, in the process, there were definitely gaps that were large enough for a person to pass through. This was due to Li Siwen’s workmanship. It was unavoidable.

He didn’t care about that, anyway. Li Siwen continued to use the remaining ten plus logs to lay them evenly on the top of the treehouse. He didn’t need to leave an entrance too. Using vines to bind them and stacking large amounts of twigs on them, a rough-looking tree house was built.

Squeezing in from one of the enormous gaps, Li Siwen sat down on a flat stone placed in the center. This kind of treehouse couldn’t protect him from poisonous snakes or insects, but it was enough to defend against large-sized beasts.

Of course, if he encountered a Tyrannosaurus, he could only blame it on his own bad luck.

While resting, Li Siwen pondered over his future. He had already consumed the demonized wheat seeds. This was a problem. Unless he didn’t plan on farming anymore, he would have to make a trip to the Feudal Lord’s territory again.

“Farming is a must, it’s my biggest insurance to survive the winter. However, I can’t just go back hastily like this. Who knows what changes there would be there?”

“Therefore, I have to do three things next.”

“First, find a source of food.”

“Second, increase Spirit Development to 30%.”

“Third, continue to explore the potential and upper limit of the basic attributes to increase my chances of survival in this world.”

“Other than those, I must also save up some daily strategic reserves, for example, storing five Vitality Points in the green orb for times of need, and five Spirit Points in the yellow orb for using Spirit Vision. As for Heavenly Workmanship Point, it’s best to not use it until finding a way to replenish it.”

Thinking up to this point, Li Siwen laid down on the stone. This was his second night going solo. Because this was unfamiliar territory, unlike the logging hut, he must reserve means for special circumstances.

Not only must he reserve some Vitality Points, but he must also reserve that 15 Spirit Points.

As for now, he forced himself to sleep. If not, the consequences would be very severe.

After sleeping for not sure how long, he was woken up by severe pain in his arm. He instantly sensed a cold and slippery mass on his chest.

“Snake? Iron Ring Black Snake!”

After a second of fear, Li Siwen tolerated the impulse to activate Spirit Vision and continue to let the snake bite him. He quickly opened his attribute bar and instantly heaved a sigh of relief.

His Health Points only dropped by one.

Then, below the attribute bar, there was a line of red figures constantly flashing.

“100%… 90%… 80%…”

These figures didn’t seem to make sense, but Li Siwen understood after looking at them again.

Because every time it jumped by 10%, his Stamina would decrease by one point.

So this was the snake venom from the Iron Ring Black Snake?

The Stamina attribute was indeed exceptional.

Of course, the three points in Defense were not bad too.

The former could dilute the snake poison, while the latter reduced the loss of health. Thinking back on Old Zhao’s words of how half a life was lost with one bite, the attack power of this Iron Ring Black Snake should be around four to five points, plus poison damage at the same time.

His Health Points only decreased by one so far, meaning that the three Defense Points had at least prevented three points of damage.

After analyzing this, Li Siwen gently slashed at the snake’s head with his axe. His expression remained the same for the entire process. No, he was actually quite surprised. He could never forget the taste of roasted snake meat.

Thank you, dear breakfast snake!

After treating his wound, Li Siwen hesitated, then extracted his five Vitality Points and added two to Health, then added three to Stamina.

After all, he was quite afraid of dying. With high Health and Stamina, he wouldn’t need to worry about being killed in a single attack.

Then, Li Siwen extracted two Spirit Points and added them to the woodcutting skill.

He had too many Spirit Points saved up, that two Spirit Points from the Iron Ring Black Snake were wasted just now since he could only have 15 points in the ball.

Very quickly, the woodcutting skill leveled up successfully.

Woodcutting Level Two. Description: You have gained three years of experience in woodcutting. Therefore, you can distinguish the quality of a tree at a glance and use it effectively.

Activating condition: Activate once every 24 hours.

“Use it effectively? What does this mean?”

Li Siwen was slightly disappointed. The description of the woodcutting skill was too vague, unlike the farming skill.

However, the cooldown for the farming skill was an entire month, while this only needed 24 hours.

“Wait, let’s not rush to the conclusion. Let me level it up some more first.”

Then, he extracted another eight Spirit Points to increase the woodcutting skill to level three. Just from this point alone, the effect of level three woodcutting skill shouldn’t be too lousy, just that the description was too unclear.

“Woodcutting Level Three. Description: You have gained 10 years of experience in woodcutting. You can discover the quality of a tree more effectively and excellently use it.”

“Actually, I just need to test it to know the effect.”

Li Siwen instantly activated Spirit Vision and went out of his humble treehouse. He found a tree that needed two people to hug it, focused his attention, and activated level three woodcutting.

In this instance, he saw from Spirit Vision that the tree was covered in a faint layer of light, but that was all.

After thinking for a while, Li Siwen hacked at it ferociously.

A while later, the tree fell to the ground. From the start until now, he felt nothing different from previous times, until he opened his attribute bar.

“What the heck!”

Li Siwen was astonished because he had accumulated three Vitality Points in the green orb.

So he gained three Vitality Points from cutting down one tree!

This was almost three times the effect of cutting down a tree in normal conditions! (Author’s note: A bucket thick tree can provide 0.5 Vitality Point, a tree needing two people to hug can provide about one Vitality Point.)

Without a doubt, this was the effect of the level three woodcutting skill.

So this seemingly useless skill could increase the Vitality Points that he could gain?

Nice!
