Chapter 30: Catapult

This intermittent rain and wind lasted for a day. The next morning, when the clouds parted and the fog dissipated, Luo Yu could not care less about the muddy ground and ran to the vegetable field immediately.

When he saw that the vegetables were still alive, he heaved a sigh of relief.

[Prompt: The base has fallen into a muddy state, hygiene score has decreased, and the risk of illness has increased.]

The sudden notification stunned Luo Yu. When he came back to his senses, he realized that his entire body was a little uncomfortable.

Looking around, be it inside or outside the wall, the entire grassland had fallen into a muddy state.

All kinds of insects flew and crawled around, looking quite uncomfortable.

Under such circumstances, it was indeed a hotbed of bacteria and diseases. It would be strange if it could be comfortable.

He looked at the hygiene score and it had decreased by 20.

Luo Yu knew that he had to build a floor.

He clicked on the building page. There were many types of floors, including wooden, cement, stone, and silver.

Although a wooden floor would give people a warm feeling, it was flammable. Moreover, wood was precious to begin with, and it would be damp when it rained. It was definitely not good.

A cement floor was not good either. It was too cheap and did not give any buffs. Luo Yu leaned towards the stone tile flooring.

Looking at the price, a stonetile required 4 stone bricks, 4 silver…

It was so expensive. Let’s talk about it later!

Fang Yumeng said, “Aiyo, the hygiene at the base is so bad. There are so many insects. Everyone, pay attention to hygiene and don’t fall sick.”

Na Ke Er: “We have to build a toilet.”

The chat group became active. After Luo Yu had breakfast, he began a new day.

The first part of the day was milking the cow.

As his beast taming level increased and he had the beast tamer talent, he squeezed out 30 units of milk today and left behind the portion he drank. Luo Yu placed the rest on the auction house.

Because of the storm yesterday, many people’s vegetable fields were destroyed, and the price of meat began to soar again. It could be sold for 50 silver per unit.

After a few days, he had a lot of inventory and earned 4,500 silver in one go.

Next was the release of water from the fish pond. After a heavy rain, the water in the fish pond showed signs of overflowing. After draining it, he obtained 25 units of seafood. Including the stock from the previous few days, there were a total of 75 units. After selling them, he earned another 3,800 silver.

Speaking of which, have the fish and prawns been on holiday recently? The number has clearly decreased!

Originally, the money he earned was already a huge sum, but from the looks of it, it was not enough. He had to think of a way to increase his income.

Fishing was a good option.

Now that the big demon beasts in the lake had been killed, the beautiful lake finally opened its arms to Luo Yu. He carried a hanging rod and excitedly walked to the lake, only to find that there was no place to step.

After a storm, the water level soared, and the rising lake water eroded a portion of the grassland.

The group of Stone-Armored Turtles climbed ashore and leaned intimately against Luo Yu to bask in the sun. However, Luo Yu frowned slightly.

In the chat group, he asked, “Has your lake water risen?”

Alina said, “Stupid man, your little lake is overflowing too?”

Fang Yumeng: “It’s already overflowing. The big demon in the lake won’t come ashore, right? I’m a little worried…”

Na Ke’er: “What if there are a few more storms? This is compressing our living space!”

Everyone spoke one after another and came to a conclusion: the lake was expanding. If they did not eliminate the big demon beasts in the lake, the lake would continue to flood. If they did not do anything, their living space would become smaller and smaller, and they would eventually be destroyed!

Recognizing the seriousness of the problem, everyone looked worried.

It was not just their small group. Someone in the World Channel had already offered a high price, hoping to hire mercenaries to deal with their own water monsters!

The problem was that most of the mercenaries registered in the Mercenary Square were at the Dark Iron level. Who had the ability to deal with a Silver-level demon beasts…

Luo Yu had relied on a HundredFold Critical Hit to deal with the big black fish, so he did not want to take on this job for the time being.

He ordered the Stone-Armored Turtles to stand in a row and temporarily use them as a place to rest. Luo Yu sat on the turtle’s back and pondered.

A new problem has arisen.

Flood control.

Summer was coming, and rain was abundant. Even if the big demon beast died, he could not let the lake flood indefinitely.

He needed to build a dam and raise the shore of the lake.

In addition to being able to controlling the water level, it could also prevent the lake from being polluted by invasions.

Yes, the small lake was his only water source. It would be horrible if someone poisoned it. Moreover, if the other party dived into the lake and swam over to invade, it would weaken the power of the arrow towers in that direction and be disadvantageous to the defense of the base.

On the contrary, if he built a wall by the lake, Automatic Crossbows could be placed on the dam, and Automatic Arrow Towers could be built inside the dam. Then, he could defend and control the level at the same time. It was killing two birds with one stone.

He opened the virtual construction interface and clicked on the construction plan. Under Luo Yu’s command, virtual tiles began to connect along the lake and finally calculated a number.

If he wanted to build a flood-proof dam along the lake, he would need a total of 2,000,000 stone bricks and 50,000 steel. He would also need 50,000 silver for construction fees.

Expensive!

This was not something that could be resolved in the short term.

“I think I’ll fish first.”

Luo Yu simply closed the construction interface and threw a fishing rod.

[Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered]

When the notification appeared, Luo Yu hurriedly retracted his rod and found a metal box.

He opened it and saw that it was a scroll.

[Automatic Catapult Storage Talisman: One-time use item. After using it, you can immediately obtain an Automatic Catapult.]

“Huh?”

Luo Yu’s eyes widened. Oh my god, he had caught a catapult!

He picked up the scroll and immediately ran back to the wall. He found a suitable position to use it. A light flashed in front of his eyes and a beautiful catapult appeared.

[Automatic Catapult: It can automatically catapult rocks. Effective range is 1,000 meters, hit rate is 20%, automatic launch time is 10 seconds.]

Good lord, the maximum range of an ordinary catapult was only 200 meters. This one was actually 1,000 meters. As expected of an Automatic Catapult.

Luo Yu tried to fire one, and a green stone immediately appeared on the launcher. With a bang, it flew out. The green stone drew an arc and directly smashed into the grassland.

It was a few meters from the expected target, but the accuracy was still very high.

The key was that it would automatically attack enemies. It was good stuff!

This undoubtedly greatly increased the defensive abilities of the base.

“Beautiful!”

Luo Yu laughed and happily ran off to fish again.

Now that it was raining, there was no more Hundredfold Critical Hit, but the catching rate was still double.

Luo Yu’s hook did not have any bait, so it was obvious that he did not want ordinary fish. What he wanted was a box.

According to the instructions of the Heavenly Dao World, there was a spring at the bottom of the small lake. The spring guaranteed that the small lake was alive. At the same time, there was a chance that some resources would spew out. And these resources was impossible to catch it in the water. It could only be caught through a fishing rod.

It was a magical setting.
