Looking at the fluctuating numbers on the terminal, Qin Yu couldn't suppress the smile on his lips.

They've struck it rich.

This isn't just making money, it's a windfall.

Fifty thousand units of timber and twenty thousand units of stone.

What does this mean?

If you asked three grown men to chop with axes and chisels, even if they worked themselves to death without eating or drinking, they would still have to work for a whole year.

The TX collector only took less than twenty hours.

This is the power of technology.

This is a case of a higher-dimensional civilization delivering a devastating blow to primitive survival instincts.

"Buzz—"

A deep rumble came from the sea.

The silver-gray steel monster was cutting through the waves and speeding towards this side.

The island behind it has completely changed.

The once lush jungle has disappeared.

The jagged rocks are gone.

All that remained was a bare mound, like a peeled egg, standing alone on the sea.

Moreover, it is sinking.

Without the core energy support of the guardian beast, and with a layer of the ground being scraped away, the geological structure completely collapsed.

"Splash—"

Huge chunks of earth slid into the sea, creating waves several meters high.

Qin Yu showed no reluctance whatsoever.

With a wave of his hand.

"Recycle."

The TX collector rushed onto the deck, and the moment it touched Qin Yu's fingers, it folded and transformed again into a palm-sized metal cube, which then entered the system space.

"Well done."

Qin Yu patted his pocket.

Next, is the main event.

Expansion.

This 100-square-meter iron raft was considered quite large before yesterday, but with so many supplies, it now looks rather shabby.

Qin Yu opened the system building page.

His gaze swept over the five thousand units of iron ore in the inventory.

His brow furrowed slightly.

"Unrefined".

This is a big problem.

Although these iron ores have an extremely high iron content, they are raw ore and cannot be used directly as steel plates.

To turn them into indestructible armor, a smelting furnace is needed.

"It seems we'll have to put defense on hold for now."

Qin Yu was decisive.

Since we can't build an ironclad warship, let's increase its tonnage first.

On the high seas, tonnage is justice.

The bigger the ship, the stronger its ability to withstand wind and waves.

"system."

"Consume all hardwood, consume all granite."

"Expand!"

Qin Yu pointed his finger heavily into the air.

"BOOM—!!"

The deck beneath my feet suddenly shuddered.

Immediately following was a series of teeth-grinding scraping and splicing sounds.

That's timber growing wildly, it's rocks piling up.

The platform, which was originally 100 square meters, began to spread wildly in all directions at a visible speed.

Two hundred square meters.

Three hundred square meters.

Five hundred square meters!

This is not over yet.

A large amount of granite was automatically cut into long strips of foundation stone by the system and deeply embedded into the bottom of the raft, increasing its weight and stability.

Meanwhile, more high-quality timber began to grow upwards.

"Snap! Snap!"

The original single-story wooden house was raised.

The original deck was converted into the hold.

Four massive load-bearing columns rose from the ground, supporting a brand-new two-story platform.

This is too much of a commotion.

It was like a magnitude 10 earthquake had occurred.

"ah!!!"

"An earthquake?! Brother Qin Yu!!"

The bedroom door on the second floor was suddenly kicked open.

Yao Qian rushed out barefoot, her hair disheveled, her cute pajamas askew, revealing large expanses of her snow-white skin.

She looked terrified.

Following closely behind was Yao Xue.

She calmed down a little, but still gripped the door frame tightly, her face pale.

She was exhausted last night, and now this happens again; she feels like her whole body is about to fall apart.

"Don't shout."

Qin Yu stood on the edge of the second-floor platform, hands behind his back, as steady as a mountain.

"Watch."

He only said two words.

The calmness in his tone instantly quieted the two flustered sisters.

They followed Qin Yu's gaze.

Slowly open your mouth wider.

It eventually became so big that an egg could fit inside.

changed.

Everything has changed.

The somewhat crowded little raft is gone.

Instead, a huge two-story wooden fortress was built!

The entire ship is over forty meters long and twenty meters wide.

A total area of ​​800 square meters!

Even in a civilized society, this size would be considered a medium-sized yacht.

And on this boundless, apocalyptic sea.

This is practically an aircraft carrier!

"Oh My God……"

Yao Qian rubbed her eyes, thinking she was still dreaming.

"This...this is our ship?"

Yao Xue was also stunned.

She wrapped her bathrobe tighter around herself, walked barefoot to the railing, and looked down at the wide deck below, wide enough for a horse to gallop across.

The shock was indescribable.

"Now it's more spacious."

Qin Yu turned around and looked at the two dumbfounded women, feeling great.

He pointed to the ground beneath his feet.

"This is the second floor, which will be the living area from now on."

"Three hundred square meters, with a balcony offering a view."

"As for what follows..."

Qin Yu stomped his foot.

"The entire first floor will be sealed off and converted into a warehouse and work area."

"No windows should be left except for essential exits."

"Even if a sea monster climbs up, it can only stare helplessly from below."

This is Qin Yu's plan.

Survival comes first, enjoyment second.

Separating supplies from living areas can prevent moisture and theft.

The most crucial thing is safety.

The second floor offers a commanding view and provides a wide field of vision, giving the player absolute initiative in the event of an enemy attack, whether for shooting or escaping.

"Qin Yu..."

Yao Xue looked at the man.

The adoration in his eyes was almost overflowing.

It can not only fight, but also build.

This kind of man is a god in the end times.

"Don't just stand there."

Qin Yu clapped his hands.

"Now that you're awake, get to work."

"Organize all the mess downstairs and sort and stack them."

"I'll go get something good to eat."

Hearing the words "delicious".

Yao Qian's eyes lit up instantly.

Brighter than a searchlight.

Fear vanished instantly.

"Want some meat?! I want grilled meat!"

She jumped up and down and shouted.

"What a load of rubbish!"

Qin Yu rolled his eyes at her.

"Eating meat every day, aren't you afraid of getting scurvy?"

"I'm eating vegetarian today."

"what……"

Yao Qian's face immediately fell.

In this world, is it okay to be vegetarian?

That means gnawing on tree bark or eating seaweed.

That stuff is fishy and astringent, it doesn't smell as good as wolf meat.

Qin Yu ignored the carnivore's complaints.

He walked to the sunny side of the second-floor platform.

There.

He specifically set aside a five-square-meter open space.

It was surrounded by a railing made of the finest mahogany, resembling an exquisite little flower bed.

"System, retrieve the fertile soil of psionic energy."

Qin Yu silently recited in his heart.

"Splash—"

Black soil appeared out of nowhere and evenly covered the flower bed.

This soil is different.

It was shiny black.

You can still vaguely see wisps of golden light moving around in the soil.

Even just a whiff.

They all have a refreshing and pleasant fragrance.

That's the taste of life.

Qin Yu squatted down and grabbed a handful of soil.

Soft, moist, and juicy.

"Good soil."

He pulled out the packet of seeds he had been keeping for a long time from his pocket.

Bok choy, lettuce, spinach.

These were all "junk" items he traded for a bottle of water on the trading channel.

In someone else's hands, this is just trash.

Without soil and fresh water, you can't grow anything.

But it's in Qin Yu's hands.

This is gold.

He carefully scattered the seeds into the black soil.

No water was given.

This psionic soil has its own moisture regulation function.

Next.

This is the moment to witness a miracle.

Qin Yu didn't blink.

one second.

two seconds.

three seconds.

"Pfft—"

A very faint sound.

A tender green seedling broke through the black soil and emerged.

It's as tender as jade.

Followed by.

The second one, the third one, the hundredth one!

The once dark flower bed was instantly covered with a layer of green.

The lettuce leaves stretched and grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

five minutes.

Just five minutes.

The lettuce, which was originally just a seed, has already grown to the size of a palm, and is lush and green.

The leaves were still covered with glistening dewdrops.

S-grade psionic fertile land.

Ten times the growth rate.

You're absolutely right!

"this……"

A gasp came from behind.

Before anyone knew it, Yao Xue and Yao Qian had finished packing and come upstairs.

I happened to witness this scene that defies common biological sense.

Yao Xue covered her mouth, her eyes wide open.

She is a doctor with a background in biology.

This growth rate completely overturned her understanding.

"Is this a hormone?"

She asked instinctively.

"hormone?"

Qin Yu stood up, casually picked a lettuce leaf, and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Click."

crisp.

sweet.

It has a pleasant, refreshing aroma.

It has none of the slightly bitter taste that ordinary lettuce has.

"That's called a miracle."

Qin Yu swallowed the leaf and felt a warm current flow down his esophagus into his stomach.

Everyone's spirits were lifted.

Nutrient lock-in property.

The vitamin content of this one leaf is equivalent to that of an entire egg!

"Alright, stop researching."

"Go and move that barbecue grill over here."

"And that pot."

Qin Yu began to give instructions.

Now that we have the food, we should cook a proper meal.

Half an hour later.

Second-floor balcony.

A gentle sea breeze is blowing.

The S-grade smokeless barbecue grill was set up.

The charcoal was glowing red.

On one side is a grill rack, and on the other side is a deep iron pot that comes with it.

Qin Yu was determined to improve his meals today.

He not only cut a large basin of fresh lettuce and bok choy.

They even took out all the dehydrated vegetable packages they had stockpiled.

"Sizzle—"

A piece of marbled wolf ribs was tossed onto the grill.

The fat was instantly rendered out, dripping onto the charcoal fire and releasing a strong aroma of meat.

But this is just a supporting role.

Qin Yu picked up a brush and brushed a layer of oil onto the strings of green peppers and eggplants.

Then sprinkle on cumin, chili powder, and a touch of precious sea salt.

As the temperature rises.

The unique fresh aroma of vegetables, mixed with the smoky flavor, began to permeate this small platform.

It has a different aroma than meat.

It's fresher.

Even more alluring.

"Glug glug—"

The water in the iron pot next to it had boiled.

Qin Yu threw the washed bok choy and sliced ​​wolf meat into the pot all at once.

There are no complicated seasonings.

I added a few slices of ginger to remove the fishy smell and a little salt.

But the ingredients are just too good.

Vegetables grown in that S-grade fertile soil naturally have a fresh and sweet flavor.

The soup instantly turned milky white.

"It smells so good..."

Yao Qian held chopsticks in her hand, her eyes fixed on the eggplant on the grill.

My mouth is really watering.

"Sis, why does this eggplant smell even better than meat?"

Yao Xue didn't say anything.

She was swallowing.

As a doctor, she understands even better the importance of vegetables to the human body.

I've been eating grilled fish and meat every day for the past few days, and my mouth is so bland that my gums are even a little swollen.

Now I can smell this refreshing fragrance.

Every cell in my body is screaming: I want to eat vegetables!

"start."

Qin Yu picked up a piece of roasted eggplant and placed it in Yao Qian's bowl.

"Be careful, it's hot."

Yao Qian didn't even care that it was hot.

Pick it up and stuff it into your mouth.

"Whoosh... It's so hot... Ugh!!"

Her eyes narrowed into slits instantly.

Soft and chewy.

Juicy.

The eggplant absorbed all the oil and seasonings, melting in your mouth.

That long-lost texture of plant fiber is simply irresistible.

"It's so delicious!!"

"Long live Brother Qin Yu!!"

Yao Qian called out indistinctly.

Yao Xue demurely picked up a piece of cooked bok choy with her chopsticks.

Put it in your mouth.

Chew slowly.

Crisp and sweet.

Not a single grain of residue.

One bite and the juice bursts out.

The fresh, sweet flavor instantly washed away the lingering meaty taste in my mouth.

"How is it?"

Qin Yu looked at her.

He was turning a skewer of grilled chives in his hand.

Yao Xue put down her chopsticks.

Looking at Qin Yu.

His eyes were complicated.

There was gratitude, admiration, and a deep sense of attachment.

"This is the best cabbage I've ever eaten in my life."

She spoke very seriously.

In this apocalyptic world.

To be able to eat a hot, fresh vegetable.

That's the kind of enjoyment an emperor would have.

And all this.

It was all brought about by this man in front of me.

"Eat more if it's delicious."

Qin Yu smiled.

He picked up a few slices of meat from his bowl and gave them to Yao Xue.

"I was exhausted last night, I need to replenish my energy."

Yao Xue's face flushed red instantly.

She glared fiercely at Qin Yu.

This man.

Which pot is not open to mention which pot!

They're still eating!

But there was no murderous intent in those eyes.

It was clearly a charming and alluring gaze.

Yao Qian was engrossed in eating and didn't understand the deeper meaning behind those words.

She looked up, her mouth greasy.

"Sis, are you tired too?"

"I was so tired last night, the bed was shaking so much it made me dizzy."

"Brother Qin Yu, could you make this boat a little more stable?"

"Cough cough cough—"

Yao Xue choked on a mouthful of soup.

He coughed so violently it shook the heavens and the earth.

Qin Yu couldn't help but let his lips twitch.

Looking at this naive and innocent sister-in-law.

He said meaningfully:

"rest assured."

"Once the ship gets bigger, it will be more stable."

"but……"

"Sometimes, it's more fun to shake things up a bit."

Yao Xue stomped hard on Qin Yu's foot under the table.

This lunch.

They ate with great relish.

The whole pot of vegetable soup was drunk clean, down to the bottom.

The vegetables on the grill were completely devoured.

The three of them slumped into their chairs.

Looking at the sea in the distance.

The sun hangs high in the sky.

The sea breeze was slightly cool.

If it weren't for the occasional floating corpses and trash drifting on the sea.

It's just like a relaxing beach vacation.

"Comfortable."

Qin Yu lit a cigarette.

He exhaled a smoke ring.

Looking at this brand-new steel fortress.

Looking at the two vibrant and alluring women beside him.

The sense of urgency in my heart eased a little.

The base is in place.

The supplies are in place.

We now have a vegetable garden.

Next.

This is the final hurdle in the beginner phase.

Qin Yu narrowed his eyes.

Looking at the dark clouds slowly gathering on the distant horizon.

That was the prelude to a storm.

This is also the system's final test question.

"storm……"

Qin Yu flicked the ash from his cigarette.

His eyes were cold.

come on.

I've been waiting for you for a long time.

Whether it's a storm or a tsunami.

Before this doomsday ark.

They all have to bow down to me!

"Yao Xue, Yao Qian."

Qin Yu suddenly spoke.

The voice wasn't loud, but it carried a chilling, menacing aura.

"What's wrong?"

The two women sat up straight.

I sensed the change in atmosphere.

"Now that we've eaten, it's time to get down to business."

Qin Yu stood up.

"Go and bring out all the buckets."

"Fix everything that can be fixed in place."

"Inspect every screw, every rope."

He pointed to the dark mass in the distance.
