Chapter 8: Stone Toilets and Walls

The Golden-shelled Beetle slowly nibbled on the grass as it crawled towards the mine. Its job was already fixed. It could either move the cart or mine.

Luo Yu looked at the crops.

[Corn: Maturity 15%]

[Rice: Maturity 15%]

[Herb: Maturity 3%]

It seemed like the maturity of ordinary crops was raised by 5% per day, while herbs were raised by 1% per day.

He would not be able to eat fresh crops for the time being.

Luo Yu walked towards the stream. The dam that had been built previously was still there. The effect of this simple fish pond was not bad, and there were more than ten big fish inside.

Luo Yu grabbed two fish and walked to the fire pit. He ignited a fire again and roasted fish to eat.

He and Dumby each took one. After eating, their bodies were filled with energy again. This time, they did not enter the mine directly. Instead, they began to walk around their territory.

They walked along the edge of the mountain range with the goal of finding a place to drain the sewage.

After walking for an hour, they really found a satisfactory place.

It was a small bamboo forest at the edge of the territory. In the cover of the bushes in the bamboo forest, there was a very small ditch. The water flow definitely led to the purple mountain range, but Luo Yu did not care where it led.

It was fine as long as it was not his own water stream.

This was a good place to drain the sewage.

Nodding in satisfaction, Luo Yu used the Heavenly Crafting Saber to dig a little deeper into the ditch before opening the construction interface.

[Simple Drainage Port: 50 Wood or Stones, 10 Silver]

After confirming it, he tapped his fingertip and an ordinary stone drain appeared at the dug ditch.

The drainage was naturally directed outwards.

Next, he had to dig a small ditch to accommodate the drainage pipe. This was very simple for Luo Yu. After calculating the straight line to his home, he started work. In less than half an hour, he was done.

With another tap of his fingertip, he spent 100 stones and 20 silver to make a long drainage pipe that connected to the drain.

Finally, there was the toilet!

He couldn’t afford a luxurious toilet, but he could still make a small and comfortable stone-brick toilet.

He chose a place seven to eight meters away from the wooden house. Luo Yu then spent 3,000 stones and 80 silver to build a stone-brick toilet on the spit. The facilities inside were basically complete, but there was no inlet yet. He needed to draw water manually.

However, these were all details that needed to be smooth out in the future. The key point was that there was a toilet!

Looking at the medium-sized toilet in front of him, Luo Yu felt a sense of accomplishment. Logically speaking, the defense of this toilet was much higher than that of the wooden house. Moreover, it had a stone door. If the wooden house could not withstand the future attacks, he could still hide in the toilet.

Shaking his head with a smile, Luo Yu opened the system data.

[Hygiene Rating: 48.]

A toilet had increased his rating by 30 points. It could be said to have greatly reduced the risk of him getting ill!

He looked at his interface data again.

Trial Tester: Luo Yu

Number: Earth, Xia Country 23333

Base Score: 60

Strength: 21

Physique: 26

Agility: 27

Planting LV2, Mining LV2, Beast Taming LV2…

The base’s score was originally 0, but now it was 60, which made Luo Yu overjoyed.

The 60 points score meant that after the end of the month, Luo Yu would be rewarded with 600 silver. Of course, the intensity of the attacks at the end of the month would also increase because of this score.

He clicked on it and looked at the details: Green Wolf+15, Golden-shelled Beetle+15, Simple Wooden House+10, Stone Toilet+15, Bathtub+5.

This rating seemed to only count the fixed wealth. There were no statistics on wolf meat, dark cuisine, or the vegetables in the vegetable field.

In addition, Luo Yu realized that he, a trial-taker, was not counted.

It was better for it not to count. After all, the intensity of the attack would be lower, and the chances of survival would be higher.

After the toilet was built and the drainage pipe was buried, Luo Yu began to plan the location of the wall.

In the beginning, the wall did not need to cover a wide area. It just needed to wrap around the wooden house, vegetable field, toilet, and the facilities that would be built in the future. After thinking about it, he decided to make it a 100m*100m square.

As for future expansions, he could tear them down. In fact, when he had the money, he could use the wall as the foundation and make a big castle.

Luo Yu yearned for that beautiful future in his heart. After retracting his thoughts, he began to build.

There were many types of wall. Luo Yu decided to make an intermediate wall first. It was five meters tall and 30 centimeters thick. Coupled with the black spotted stone as the raw material, elephants and rhinos could not break it.

Apart from 100 units of stone bricks, a one-meter wall also required 2 silver. Needless to say, he had to build it!

With a tap of his fingertip, the pile of stone bricks beside him quickly disappeared, and a five-meter-tall wall rose from the ground in front of him!

Luo Yu’s eyes revealed excitement. The sense of accomplishment from building such a wall could not be stopped!

However, he was soon forced to stop.

The stone bricks were gone!

The consumables for building an intermediate wall were relatively large. Alright, he should go mining!

At night, Luo Yu, who had dug up a pile of ores, was munching on wolf meat and soaking in the bathtub, enjoying the comfort after work.

As there was a lot of stock previously, the wall was built for 50 meters in one go. Luo Yu had roughly calculated that it would take about 20 days to build the entire wall. In terms of time, it was relatively abundant, but Luo Yu was still worried that he did not have enough silver.

Previously, he had spent a lot of money in a mess. Now, he only had 1,400 silver left.

“Make money.”

Opening the auction house, Luo Yu put all the dark cuisine on the shelves. There were 100 units of worm cuisine, and he priced them at 10 silver each. It was a conscientious price.

As expected, after ten minutes, no one was interested.

“There’s really no one from Starlord Maori’s race?”

He tried to send an anonymous message to the world. “Roasted centipedes and stewed spiders are on sale. Friends from the universe with unique tastes, come and buy them!”

As soon as the news was released, there was an immediate response. “Brother, do you have fried centipedes?”

“Braised spider tastes better!”

“I’m from the centipede race. Whoever dares to eat my race, I’ll kill them!”

There were all kinds of comments, but Luo Yu didn’t care. He beamed and began to collect the money.

In just a few minutes, he had sold all the “dark cuisine” and obtained 1,000 silver. Now, he had 2,400 silver, and the sense of crisis in his heart had eased a lot.

Of course, this was just his wishful thinking. At this stage, not to mention 2,400 silver, even 240 silver was a huge sum.

“Speaking of bugs…”

Luo Yu entered the virtual arena. Although it was not as lively as the world channel, there were still many people. It was a pure stage for the strong.

It was like playing a game on Earth. Luo Yu browsed through the various rooms, including the names of the rooms and the summary of the arena lord and the bets.

“Come if you’re not afraid of death, 50 Silver (Arena Lord, Lycan Clan)

“Who wants to kill me? 20 Silver (Arena Lord, Megalodon Clan)

“Fight to your heart’s content tonight, 50 Silver (Arena Lord, Ghost Horn Clan)

“Human called Yu, come out for Lord Insect! 1,000 Silver (Arena Lord, Zerg)
