Necromancer chopping down trees

Chapter 122 Making a Log Cabin
In the end, the ideal vacation turned into a field training.

The lost souls were sent to the snowy land from the teleportation node by Wang Yue, and a small incident happened when they passed by the shelter.

The living dead who were asked by Wang Yue for help all walked out of the wooden house on their own initiative. After meeting again after a long separation, they should have hugged each other with tears, but the living dead picked up their weapons and prepared to attack this group of companions who had lived with them for a hundred years.

Fortunately, the captain came out in time to stop the sailors from fighting, and the infighting ended before it even began.

"That's weird. This isn't the first time you've met. Why didn't you fight like this last time?"

Wang Yue could only talk to himself. None of the dazed souls could answer his questions.

When the captain and the first mate were working together, both groups of subordinates obeyed orders obediently, but when they came to Wang Yue, they got out of control.

"Is it because my level is not high enough? Or is it because the relationship is not good enough and I can't talk?"

Wang Yue thought about it and thought that maybe it was because the sailor and the captain had been together for a long time, and he was just a "landlord" who suddenly appeared. If time went on a little longer, maybe he could combine the two forces together.

"Combining combat power, matching arms, and then tactical drills, these are all things to think about later."

The most urgent task is to command the Lost Souls to help cut down trees and improve their levels in this icy and snowy land.

After the battle on the ice field and a night of free hunting, the levels of the [Dead Sailors] all reached level 12, while the level of the [Lost Souls] who were weaving clothes in the enclosure stopped at level 10.

"Do you know how to chop down a tree? Do you need me to show you?"

Wang Yue felt like she was leading a group of immature children. She had to teach them the simplest assembly command three times, but the Lost Souls still slipped when walking on the ice, looking very clumsy.

After finally bringing them to the hill where the Yeti cave was located, these Lost Souls stopped at the foot of the hill and refused to go up the mountain.

"You guys are not playing me, are you? You were so skilled at using magic, but now you can't do anything at all?"

Wang Yue regretted not bringing the first mate along. Perhaps he could tell her the secret of commanding the Lost Souls. Now she could only figure it out on her own.

"Look at me. The core of tree felling is chopping. The key is to hit the same part with force. It doesn't matter what tool you use, as long as the tree can fall down."

He took out the [Logging Axe] that had not been used for a long time and chopped down a spruce tree in four strokes.

The subsequent wood processing work was too complicated, and Wang Yue had no confidence that he could teach the Lost Soul. He was satisfied just by being able to help himself cut down a few more trees.

Then, Wang Yue saw the Lost Souls all took out their tools, including mallets, nails and needles used for weaving.

"Okay, you guys can do whatever you want. I'll use these materials to build a temporary base."

Wang Yue no longer wanted to watch how the Lost Soul would knock down the tree. He wanted to take some time to rest and calm his impatient mood.

"I finally understand why the teachers at school are so angry. It's all because of the stupid students."

He walked a long way and finally came to a corner where no sound could be heard.

He took out the [Spruce Wood] from his backpack, opened the [Woodworking Production] interface that he had not used for a long time, and found the [Wooden Cabin Blueprint] marked [Difficult].

"Without sufficient proficiency, there may be a risk of production failure."

Wang Yue’s current proficiency level is level 20, and the required level for [Wooden Hut] is exactly level 20.

Generally speaking, the level of a secondary occupation is improved by making props of [Normal] difficulty. Unless it is an essential item, it is best not to touch the drawings of [Difficult] difficulty, because the lost materials will not be returned if failed.

"It doesn't matter if you fail, you will succeed if you keep doing it."

Click to confirm the production, and the production blueprint prompted by the system will appear in front of you.

Several spruce trees automatically flew to the foundation, and Wang Yue saw that a line had appeared on the ground.

"Why do I feel like I'm back on the construction site? From carpentry to civil engineering, my sadness doubles."

Having never worked on such a complicated project before, Wang Yue felt the joy of the challenge.

As a complete layman, he always paid attention to the system prompts, just like when he was a child playing with toys, his eyes were always on the instruction manual.

"It's great to have a system. It saves me the effort of pulling the wires, and it can automatically adjust for me if there is an error."

Wang Yue only needs to place the suitable wood in the designated position. If the length is too outrageous, he needs to process it manually.

Seeing the cabin being piled up slowly from a foundation to three meters high, Wang Yue also saw the moon appear above her head and the temperature around her dropped a lot.

"It's perfect. It worked in one try."

As the saying goes, slow work makes fine work. Wang Yue, who was making it for the first time, tried her best to align each piece of wood with the prompt line, and did the finishing work meticulously and seriously.

Although the process took a little longer, the final cabin still met the standards.

After completing the [Wooden Hut], Wang Yue can put it back into the package like the [Bark Tent]. It will only take up the space of one inventory, which is very convenient.

"I'm exhausted. Let me go see how those brainless guys are doing."

The busy work made Wang Yue completely forget to see the Lost Soul, because there was no need to worry about monster attacks here. The Snowman Cave had been cleared out long ago and no monsters could be spawned anymore.

But when Wang Yue returned, he took the [Evil Spirit Blueprint] and checked it again and again to make sure he was not going in the wrong direction.

"How come even the map changed in just one afternoon? These Lost Souls are so cruel."

The hill where the Yeti Cave is located used to have countless spruce trees, but now not even the tree roots are left.

According to Wang Yue's careful inspection, in addition to leaving countless footprints on the snow, the criminals also used tools to remove the roots, and the tree roots were moved away along with the frozen soil.

"This is not cutting down trees, this is moving them. If we put the trees back, they will probably survive for a few more years."

Although Wang Yue realized it was the work of the Lost Souls, he did not see anyone on the hill.

He followed the footprints to the back of the hill, and after crossing countless small hills, he finally saw the Lost Soul rolling the tree.

"Wow, they actually use trees as snowballs."

Wang Yue originally thought that these guys would be clumsy, but she didn't expect that they had already started to divide the work.

Some people are responsible for cutting off the branches, while others are responsible for the roots. If they encounter a dead tree, they will start directly from the trunk. After cutting down the tree, they will push it together and use the uneven road to grind the uneven bark.

They acted in a planned manner with clear division of labor, and did not seem like brainless lost souls at all.

"I feel like I should say something, but I really can't fault it."

There were already dozens of pieces of wood piled up in front of the Lost Souls, enough for Wang Yue to replace all the wooden houses in the shelter with new ones.

Wang Yue asked the team to stop, and the Lost Souls also stopped, but the trees kept rolling.

"I told you to stop, but I wanted you to stop chopping down the wood as well. Why are you so stupid?"

The Lost Souls looked confused and continued to stay where they were.

In order to save energy, Wang Yue closed his mouth and ran obediently in the snow, chasing the rolling wooden stakes in front of him.
