Fearsome Farmer - Chapter 59

Chapter 59: About Digging

Digging was a simple task.

However, if the amount of soil to dig reached 400 cubic meters, it would be very terrifying.

When Li Siwen calculated out this figure, he was almost scared silly.

Even the muck trunks from his previous life also pulled tens of cubic meters of soil, wasn’t the plan he was making now a bit overboard?

“Damn, I have food in the house, water in the well, a shovel in my hand, and inexhaustible strength. Being a farmer, what is there to be afraid of?”

After hesitating for a few seconds, he still gritted his teeth and started digging. Without craziness, there’s no success. For his safe house, charge!

Of course, Li Siwen didn’t really dig crazily with his all in it. He only tried to maintain a constant speed and use the least physical exertion for the most suitable excavation efficiency.

It was said a normal grown-up, on average, could dig 10 cubic meters of soil per 10 hours. He wasn’t requesting for too much, digging 200 cubic meters of soil in two days wasn’t too overboard, right?

Yup, let the statistics talk.

Li Siwen started digging from around11 AM. By 1 PM, he had depleted six Stamina Points and dug about 20 cubic meters of soil, about 10 times faster than a normal person.

A normal person’s strength only had five Strength Points and 10 Stamina Points, while he had 24 Strength Points and 50 Stamina Points.

“What am I calculating this for? Not like I am writing an essay or novel on this. However, this signifies that I can complete this in two days.”

Li Siwen returned to the treehouse and cooked a pot of wild vegetable mushroom dried fish soup. After eating, he was 30% to 40% full. Then, after resting for only half an hour, his stamina had fully recovered.

This was just how advantageous 50 points in stamina were.

After lunch, he used his woodcutting skill to cut down a large tree without absorbing its vitality. Now, this solid tree had become a strategic resource too. If this was in a game, it would be at least of white-color quality.

Unfortunately, because of the cooldown, he could only cut one every 24 hours.

After returning, Li Siwen continued his digging. This time, while still keeping within the endurance level of the shovel, he slightly speeded up.

After another two hours, he had depleted eight Stamina Points, but he had dug about 30 cubic meters of soil, not bad.

He rested for half an hour, then went to the valley and carried back the bricks he previously molded. This didn’t cost him much stamina, and with enough food, he could even let his stamina recover quickly.

After he carried 2,000 plus bricks back. he picked the worse looking ones with more cracks and beyond saving, then use them to make a simple square furnace. It was about two meters tall with a hole on the top where a chimney could be placed. At the side, a hole was left too as a door.

As for the better-looking bricks with fewer cracks and still could be saved, he placed them inside the furnace vertically with some space between each other. The first layer was placed in a > shape, and the second layer was placed in a
