Chapter 92: The Mundane Yet Happy Daily Life
Chapter 92: The Mundane Yet Happy Daily Life
Lin Sai spent the entire night in Finn's log cabin, feeling refreshed and energized, as the fatigue accumulated during his Black Mountain journey vanished.
The next morning, as the first rays of dawn illuminated the glass dome of the greenhouse, Lin Sai stretched lazily, displaying his harvest from the previous night.
A smile appeared on his lips.
On the wooden table against the wall of the greenhouse, a bountiful array of crops was piled high.
Among them were the three cold-resistant crops he had identified at the beginning, each one plump and lush.
Before nightfall yesterday, Lin Sai had converted two units of soil, three units of clear water, and three corresponding food seeds into resources.
The entire planting process was replaced with resource-converted items.
The growth rate of the crops increased several times!
The original one-day growth period was now completed within two hours.
From sowing to harvesting, the entire process was so swift that it felt like a dream, even giving Lin Sai the illusion that he was playing a game.
It wasn't until he picked the ripe fruits and verified their normal attributes in the item description that Lin Sai truly felt at ease.
After a night's time and several rounds of planting, his current harvest was already quite impressive.
Lin Sai picked up a head of crisp green cabbage, and after a moment of hesitation, he decided to take a bite.
Crunch!
"Hmm... It's better to eat it cooked."
Lin Sai commented.
Raw cabbage was a decent choice, as it had no unpleasant taste and was crisp and refreshing.
However, due to his personal dietary preferences, Lin Sai still preferred to cook it before eating.
He took stock of the supplies in his hands.
The food he had grown in one night was sufficient for about a week's worth of meals.
"Time to rest."
"Yawn."
Lin Sai yawned, and after his energy faded, he felt a bit sleepy.
The current stage of cultivating Life Source Essence required satisfying one's physiological desires, so Lin Sai didn't think twice and headed to the wooden bed in the front hall, falling into a deep slumber.
He woke up again in the afternoon.
His stomach grumbled, prompting him to get up and take out some raw meat. He prepared his meal in front of the fireplace.
As he stared at the flickering flames, a realization struck him:
"Wait, doesn't this mean my daily routine is completely reversed?"
"Hmm..." Lin Sai scratched his head and smiled, reminiscing about his past gaming habits. "It's a bit similar to my old all-night gaming routine. I can't do this again."
Muttering to himself about his unique death experiences in games.
Lin Sai finished the roasted meat in his hand, leaving behind a few bones.
He was about to throw away these bones as trash.
But at that moment, memories of the games he had played surfaced, and corresponding ideas emerged.
Lin Sai immediately went to the back of the greenhouse and picked up two stones, smashing them together.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
After a few minutes, the leftover bones he had been eating turned into a pinch of fine bone powder.
He then applied the Resource Conversion skill.
[Material/Consumable: Bone Powder]
[Powder made from ground bones, can be used as fertilizer to promote crop growth, or as a material to craft other items.]
[A versatile material, but its value is low due to the small quantity.]
"You're the one!"
Lin Sai picked up the bone powder and ran to the greenhouse.
He planted one regular seed and one resource-converted seed for a simple comparison.
The bone powder disappeared into the soil.
Lin Sai didn't have to wait long.
The fully resource-converted planting system quickly sprouted green plant seedlings.
The growth rate increased again!
The previous night's two-hour limit was now compressed into one hour!
"I can mature plants in just one hour..."
Lin Sai paced in the greenhouse, initially delighted.
But soon, his eyebrows furrowed.
While being able to plant and harvest quickly was beneficial, if he compressed the time to within an hour, his own essence recovery rate wouldn't be able to keep up! Given his current self-recovery ability.
Every two hours, he performed a resource conversion, ensuring he maintained a good state.
There was no need to rush and exhaust his Essence.
"Bone powder or water can be used alternately."
"The specific data of the two resources must be compared and experimented with later."
Lin Sai recorded this information in his planting journal.
Then, he got up and returned indoors to prepare for his outdoor trip.
Taking advantage of the remaining daylight, he set out to hunt.
Having promised the female hunter yesterday, Lin Sai wasn't going to take it lightly.
It was already afternoon, and he had no intention of hunting in the dead of night.
"Cultivating crops, hunting in my spare time, practicing daily skills, and specifically setting aside time to search for other wild species..."
Lin Sai calculated on the way:
"This way, my daily schedule is almost completely filled."
Lin Sai had a plan in mind.
Tonight or early tomorrow, he would go to the chapel and inform the Abbess.
For the next period, he would only occasionally return, spending most of his time at the log cabin for work.
Entering the forest, the trait of the [Forest Archer] began to take effect.
Lin Sai drew his bow and shot arrows in the forest, greatly enhancing his perception and accuracy.
Sometimes, he didn't even need the [Trace Tracking] skill; with his shooting skills and keen perception, he could locate prey in advance and then hunt them.
As the sky darkened, Lin Sai returned.
His backpack now held two squirrels, three wild rabbits, and the corpse of a first-stage monster, the [Frostwind Sparrow].
This avian monster had an extremely fast flight speed, and its beak and claws carried extreme cold attributes, capable of causing frostbite with a single attack. With its speed advantage, killing someone would only take a few breaths.
Strictly speaking, the Frostwind Sparrow's danger on the ground was even greater than that of the Ice Hound.
But now?
For Lin Sai, this was a target easily dispatched with a single arrow.
Recalling his previous encounters with the Ice Hound, he couldn't help but feel a sense of accomplishment.
Lin Sai specifically held this monster in his hand.
[Monster Materials] collected a feather from the Frostwind Sparrow, which could be used to craft arrows with freezing capabilities.
Lin Sai was in a good mood, humming a tune as he walked back to town.
He contemplated processing the game while walking, and just as he was about to return, his gaze fell on several spruce trees by the roadside.
"This can also be experimented with."
Lin Sai took out his axe, chopped a few times, and decided to build a wood shed next to his cabin.
He also planned to dig a cellar.
This wasn't just for convenience but also an experiment for the survival construction module upgrade.
The task bar stated that corresponding crops must be cultivated to upgrade the survival construction module, but Lin Sai didn't believe this was the extent of the module's upgrade potential.
In the survival construction game, besides survival, construction was also a significant factor.
Lin Sai hadn't performed any construction activities since obtaining this module.
This attempt might lead to another upgrade of his survival construction module, making it worthwhile.
...
When nightfall completely descended, Lin Sai returned to town with the spruce trees.
He didn't have extra Essence to resource all the wood, so he planned to combine manual labor and skills to build the wood shed, gaining an understanding of the entire process, which might also help him master a carpentry skill.
Lin Sai placed the spruce trees beside his cabin.
When he opened the door to start a fire and prepare food, he found Joel sitting inside, looking worried and staring at him.
