The villainous magical girl's daily mission is to find fault.
Chapter 772 Upgrade
"To get rich, first beat down trees."
That's what it says in the book.
After gaining enough knowledge from books to survive in this blocky world, Hyacinth noticed that the iris beside her had begun to imitate her by using its magic wand to beat tree trunks to obtain wood, so she also started trying to collect wood.
A piece of wood can be turned into four plank blocks by tapping it with a magic wand. If you place the plank blocks into the magic square as instructed in the book, they will transform into a crafting table.
Following the tutorial, Hyacinth and Iris learned how to combine sticks, axes, and pickaxes, no longer needing to beat tree trunks with their bare hands, greatly improving their tree-cutting efficiency.
"It's finished! Our house!"
As dusk fell and the sun began to set, Hyacinth raised the nearly broken wooden axe in her hand and excitedly spoke to Iris.
The two stood side by side in front of the "house." The iris silently looked it up and down before turning to look at the hyacinth.
"We worked so hard to cut down all that wood, and you used it to build this thing?"
"Hmm, I think it's pretty good." Hyacinth said with her hands on her hips and a chuckle.
In front of me was a square matchbox enclosed by wooden boards.
Iris was filled with the urge to complain, but seeing that it was getting dark, and that there seemed to be no other choice but to push open the wooden door and go inside with Hyacinth.
Surprisingly, the interior was quite spacious and brightly lit with torches lit. The workbench and the furnace made of cobblestone were placed in the corner, along with a square box.
"Iris, are you hungry? I just beat up a cow and got two steaks. The quest log says we can cook them in the furnace."
As she said this, Hyacinth trotted over to the stone furnace, took out a piece of roasted steak that emitted a wonderful aroma, and handed it to Iris, who was resting on the synthesis table.
The girls sat side by side on the furnace and worktable, taking small bites of their cooked steaks.
"It's surprisingly interesting," Hyacinth suddenly said, as if remembering something.
The iris nodded.
"Yes, you can gather materials to build your own house, and you can hunt animals. Even if you defeat them because of their square shape, you don't feel guilty."
"Is the steak a little bland...? It would be better if it had some pepper sauce."
"It's good enough to have something to eat," Iris replied with a smile.
After finishing their steaks, the two checked their health and satiety levels, as well as the mountain of various materials piled up in their storage spaces:
"These are wheat seeds. The book says we can make a hoe and plant them. After the wheat is harvested, we can make bread."
"Hmm...you can also fish, but you need line to make a fishing rod...how do we get the line?" Iris asked, tilting her head.
The two looked at each other and shook their heads simultaneously.
As complete newbies, Hyacinth and Iris started by methodically gathering materials and building a shelter according to the instructions in the book. After working hard for a while, they finally completed the task and only then had time to look at the next task:
"Mission: First battle. There is indeed a battle system, but apart from animals, there don't seem to be any monsters that can be fought." Hyacinth scratched the back of her head and asked in confusion.
"What does the monster look like? It seems to be square or boxy."
"Yeah, it's getting late, shouldn't we go out and find some monsters to practice on?"
Before Iris could finish speaking, a loud banging sound suddenly came from the shelter's door.
The two men jumped up in fright, each gripping their axes tightly, and nervously looked towards the door:
Sure enough, outside the door was a square-shaped humanoid monster with green skin and glowing eyes that were very conspicuous in the darkness. It was pounding on the wooden door with its equally square arms, and cracks were already beginning to appear on the door.
"I know this! The book says this monster is a zombie that tries to break down the door and rush into the house." Hyacinth quickly turned to flip through the book.
"A zombie?... "
Iris, who was terrible at dealing with these kinds of monsters, shivered silently. But fortunately, its blocky shape wasn't too scary, so she mustered up her courage and went forward with Hyacinth, thinking about how to take down the monster through the wooden door.
Having an axe in hand might allow one to use it as a weapon, but how exactly...?
"Snap!"
The door shattered as the zombies pounded on it, and the monster roared as it entered the house.
The girls' screams echoed through the night sky.
"It's charging in!!" "Quick, beat it up! Hit it with an axe!"
"Take this! You monster! Take this!" "Hah!!"
"You hit me!" "Sorry!"
Crackling and clattering.
The monster was hacked down by the two men's axes, and after bursting out two pieces of rotten flesh, it disappeared.
Hyacinth repaired the gate, gripped her axe, and waited at the entrance. She defeated several zombie monsters that came wandering over after hearing the noise, and finally managed to get through the night safely.
As the sun rose, the remaining zombies burned to ashes in the sunlight, and the two, covered in wounds, were finally able to step out of the shelter and bask in the sunlight once more.
"Ah...we're finally safe..." "Life is so wonderful..."
After marveling at the beauty of life, Hyacinth, having learned her lesson, decided to seriously renovate the "house" in front of her that looked no different from a matchbox.
Iris, meanwhile, flipped through the book to guide the mission, and the two-person team progressed methodically.
You ask where the nightingale went? Hyacinth only saw her collect some wood at the beginning and then run away and disappeared. She had no idea how to find the nightingale's whereabouts.
But even without the nightingale's help, progress can be made steadily with detailed instructions:
They gathered wood, collected stones and soil from the nearby mountains, made shovels and picks to level the land, then sowed the first batch of wheat seeds, and fenced off the precious farmland for protection.
"Yay!" "It's done!"
They worked from morning till night, with Hyacinth breaking two axes in the process, and Iris racking her brains at the synthesis table to think of and try other synthesis methods. As evening approached again, a brand-new temporary shelter appeared before them.
There are farmlands supplying food, sapling planting areas for logging recycling, and a building completely upgraded from a wooden matchbox...
"A stone matchbox, is this what you call an upgrade?"
The iris stared blankly at the "perfect structure" that the hyacinth had spent several minutes tinkering with.
"How can you call it a matchbox! Stone is more durable than wood; this is clearly a sturdy shelter." Hyacinth tried to promote itself, but the matchbox design was really not flattering.
After moving into their new matchbox-like home, Hyacinth used a stone block to block the door to prevent zombie monsters from rushing into the house, and together with Iris, they opened the chat channel attached to the Mind World.
Yes, global chat is available here.
Hyacinth: Iris and I have built a luxurious villa. Where are you two, Arum and Nightshade?
After a brief wait, a reply popped up in the channel.
Superbly Shining☆Bai Lili: Why can a name only have a maximum of 8 characters? Xin Yuehu, are you targeting me?!
Qiu Gui: Because Bai Lili, your username is just too long!
The channel was immediately filled with a joyful atmosphere.
But just as the girls were excitedly discussing what they had done during their two days in the mental world, a string of eye-catching achievements appeared in the channel—
Nightingale has completed the achievement: <Steaming Hot>
Nightingale has completed the achievement: <Go Downhill>
Bai Lili: ?
Wheat ear: ? ?
Red Velvet: ? ? ? ?
Hyacinth: ?? Nightingale, why are you secretly doing something big behind our backs! Where did you go all by yourself at the beginning!
Nightingale: Hehe, found something fun, I'll bring it over to you guys later.
No one knew what the Lone Wolf Nightingale had found, and she didn't say anything more, just kept grinding for progress and achievements.
Soon, Bai Lili attracted everyone's attention with a single line of text:
Bai Lili: After we all settle down, how about we find a beautiful place and build our house there?
After a moment of silence, everyone in the channel unanimously agreed.
"Okay—"
