Chapter 593: Fishing at Moon Lake
Chapter 593: Fishing at Moon Lake
Within the territory, Lindsey's influence was undeniable.
After he spoke, not only did the required construction team gather, but even workers beyond what was needed for construction rushed over.
In about a quarter of an hour, a construction team of 40 people assembled east of the Banyan Forest.
Hammer served as their spokesperson:
"Lord Lindsey, you called us here just to complete this construction?"
"It seems to be a lake? When this is built, will it replace the wells we built before? That's right! After today's construction upgrade is complete, those wells will also change, and they won't need manpower to pump water from underground anymore; they can fill the water level on their own!"
"It's a lake," Lindsey nodded and continued explaining, "and it won't replace the function of the wells—or rather, this thing might not be of much use to you, but it could be extremely useful to me, even of great importance!"
"..."
For the first time, Hammer heard such words from Lindsey's mouth.
The Lord needed their help.
This was a project to be done purely for Lindsey!
Hammer turned back in silence, and the 40 workers watched the two of them.
Lindsey and Hammer's conversation was not whispered.
These people heard the entire conversation, and their eyes went from expectation to fanaticism.
"For Lord Lindsey!"
"For the Lord!"
"Charge! Let's do it!"
An unimaginable enthusiasm erupted from these workers.
They rushed into the construction outline of Moon Lake, wielding their tools as if they didn't need any stamina.
The scene appeared rather bizarre.
With the help of the Real-Time Strategy module, as long as they followed the specified actions, the construction would proceed at a fixed efficiency, and the workers were already accustomed to this rhythm.
But now.
They deliberately sought to use, or rather, waste their strength.
Using this method to strive to fulfill Lindsey's requirements.
"..."
Seeing the scene before him, Lindsey was momentarily speechless.
He wasn't an organizer or an artist who could perceive people's hearts, but the respect, admiration, and the desire to work for him were genuinely conveyed to Lindsey's heart.
Lindsey stood in place, stunned for a few seconds.
Then, without further hesitation, he picked up a pickaxe and joined the construction team.
Hammer stood at the edge of the Banyan Forest.
The middle-aged man's eyes even became slightly moist, and he realized that he didn't need to work here. He turned and left, returning deep into the forest:
"Indeed, it's you..."
On the other side, beneath the construction framework of Moon Lake.
The ground level visibly lowered.
Lindsey worked alongside the workers, and although the time required for construction in reality couldn't break through the upper limit, it continued to shorten.
But in this joint effort, time seemed to fly by.
When all the materials were filled, Moon Lake was also completed.
The Banyan Forest grew lush branches and leaves, enveloping the entire lake. The clear lake water reflected the dark sky and the green canopy, and the patterns on the water surface seemed to clearly distinguish the sun and moon.
Lindsey admired Moon Lake with the workers.
The water quality here was not as good as the spring water from the wells, but the pure beauty could also bring a sense of enjoyment to people's minds.
Trying to reach out towards the surface of Moon Lake.
The cool touch made one's heart skip a beat, and the spirit became refreshed.
At this moment, someone among the workers asked Lindsey:
"Lord Lindsey, do you still need our help?"
"Just say the word, and we'll do anything for you!"
Lindsey smiled and shook his head:
"Alright, the work here is done. You can all go back for now.
"Oh, and remember to inform everyone in the territory that we're hosting a banquet tonight. By the way, I'll also be preparing celebratory food for everyone this evening!"
"..."
Not everyone in the territory had tasted Lin Sai's cooking.
But through word-of-mouth stories, most people knew that Lin Sai could create exceptionally delicious food.
Some even considered it a short-term life goal.
Upon hearing Lin Sai's promise, the workers also realized this and, amidst their cheers, they headed back to the forest together.
"..."
Lin Sai watched as the people returned to the forest.
He didn't intend to smile, but his lips curved upward for some unknown reason.
"Now, let's work hard for tonight's dinner!"
Lin Sai cast his fishing rod.
The flower-patterned rod reflected the sunlight in the green shade of the banyan forest, the line straight and taut.
A few minutes later—
Plop—
Ripples formed on the water's surface, and Lin Sai immediately reeled in the rod.
And so, he fished out a rock with a yellowish hue from the water, almost hitting his head.
"..."
Lin Sai's eyes narrowed.
Determined, he picked up the rock, and the attribute panel also informed him that it was indeed a piece of junk.
"..."
"So, the first cast didn't yield anything?"
Lin Sai felt like crying and laughing at the same time.
He accepted reality and carefully put on the fisherman's outfit again, then cast the hook towards the Moon Lake once more.
This time, the surface rippled, and he fished out an object emitting a blue glow.
[Strange Item/Material: Moon Fragment]
[A stone fused with essence, a special mineral that absorbs moonlight. Wearing it grants a bonus to all attributes on moonlit nights. Can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A rare mineral, moderately priced.]
"Bonus to all attributes, but only on moonlit nights?"
Lin Sai's expression was peculiar.
With his current abilities, such equipment with strict requirements and a bonus to all attributes was no longer as appealing.
So, he casually placed the Moon Fragment on the workbench.
[10 Moon Fragments + 1 Lunar Eclipse Mark = Moon Fragment]
"Ahem..."
"Huh? Moon Fragment?"
The material that was previously ignored suddenly became a focus of interest.
He carefully took the Moon Fragment from the workbench and stored it securely in his bag.
Glancing at the shimmering Moon Lake, Lin Sai's gaze also shifted.
Plop—
A yellow-hued catfish emerged from the water.
Lin Sai held it in his hand.
[Fish: Dryland Catfish]
[A type of catfish that lives in dry waters, they even possess the ability to cross land during migration. Their unique physique results in extremely tender meat.]
[An excellent ingredient, moderately priced.]
"Now, we have a target for tonight's feast."
Lin Sai was quite satisfied with this catch.
He kept the Dryland Catfish and continued fishing.
Before long, Lin Sai reeled in the first box from Moon Lake, its surface adorned with patterns of dry land and deserts.
He opened it, revealing a deep, dark orb within.
[Strange Item/Material: Despair Orb]
[A jewel imbued with despair, wearing it for extended periods will significantly lower one's mood. Can also be used as a material to craft other items.]
[A gem with special powers, moderately priced.]
