The moving was completed very quickly, in less than a day.

Because Wang Yan had a system warehouse to store items, and because the mechanical entity had destroyed most of the courtyard when it arrived, he was able to pack everything up at once.

After looking back one last time, the little beast girls left the cave with Wang Yan and arrived at their new home.

There have been quite a few things to deal with lately. First, he encountered the Bai family, and then he met Delia, a sky elf. To be honest, Wang Yan hasn't had a chance to properly manage his system.

Since purchasing cotton seeds, Wang Yan's warehouse already had a large amount of cotton stored, but he hadn't had time to think about the spindles, which delayed things for a while.

Wang Yan still has five farm plots, but the cotton yield is now significantly higher than potatoes, even though it takes a full 1.8 days to plant. The yield is plentiful, with each plot producing about 15 kilograms of cotton, which translates to 75 kilograms for five plots. Each kilogram of cotton is worth 4 points, meaning Wang Yan now harvests 300 points every two days. Therefore, aside from daily consumption, Wang Yan no longer specifically grows potatoes.

Since they had arrived at their new home, the cave was warm and cozy, so the matter of cotton-padded clothes could be put aside for the time being. The most urgent task now was to build a house. The mall sold bricks and cement, and Wang Yan planned to use these two materials to build the house, along with some wood, to create a small but habitable house. After all, the little beast girls couldn't be left to sleep outdoors, could they?

Bricks cost 1 point each, while cement costs 500 points per bag. Wang Yan's initial idea was to have enough space for six people to sleep together, the simpler the better, since it was only a temporary residence. Later, he would gradually build a three-story building, with each person having their own bedroom, as well as a living room, kitchen, dining room, and bathroom. In short, it was a big project.

Previously, Wang Yan revealed a construction knowledge capsule during a lottery, which gave him some ideas on how to build a house. He tentatively decided that his temporary residence would be a "matchbox" shape, ten meters long, eight meters wide, and five meters high. Apart from leaving a door and window, he did not plan to do any extra design. Even the roof was not designed to be too complicated.

After all, there is no wind or direct sunlight in the cave, and the temperature is regulated by the pool in the middle. You can just take out some dry grass and animal skin to cover yourself.

After finalizing everything, Wang Yan led the little beast girls to start work on the previously cleared open space. They mixed cement, gravel, and sand with water to make concrete, and then used a few pieces of wood to make a simple trowel to begin piling it up.

Wang Yan only demonstrated it briefly, and the little beast girls understood the general idea. To be honest, the work Wang Yan did didn't require much skill. It was simply laying a layer of bricks and then a layer of concrete, with the middle lower and the sides higher. They could quickly get the hang of it and apply the mortar.

So once he was sure that there wouldn't be any problems with the group working on it, Wang Yan stopped building the wall. He had more important things to do; the door and window frames needed wooden planks for support, and Wang Yan needed to prepare them in advance.

He spent another 600 points to buy an iron axe. This was an item he got from a 30-pull after selling all the herbs, and now he could use it.

There was readily available timber inside the cave that could be cut down and used, but Wang Yan didn't have a plane or chisel, so he could only use the small tools on his iron axe and military knife to process it, so the finished product might be a bit rough.

Then there was a large dormitory that could accommodate six people. However, Wang Yan had unlocked construction knowledge instead of carpentry knowledge. He didn't know how to process wooden planks into a wooden bed, so he had to first build a rough shape with bricks, then lay down a layer of wooden planks, a layer of cotton, and finally a layer of leather. Although it was a bit rough, it was still comfortable.

In this way, the construction of the house took about ten days, and the little beast girls finally moved into their new home. However, this also cost Wang Yan a lot of points. Don't be fooled by how simple the small house looks; it cost quite a lot of points. Wang Yan didn't calculate the exact number, but it was definitely over 10,000 points.

Looking at his empty points, Wang Yan displayed a completely different emotion from the little beast girls. It was too difficult to have no points!

There was only one month left in autumn. There were two things to take care of. The first was to take Zhuohua back to their old home. The traveling merchant would be coming soon. The merchant traded with Zhuohua and her family all year round, but they didn't know the exact date of her arrival. They only knew that it would be shortly before winter. So Zhuohua had to go and wait for her in advance. She had been waiting there during the day for the past few days.

Another thing is that winter is approaching, and the little beast girls have almost run out of jerky. Even though Wang Yan has some pre-made food and canned goods, it is only a small amount. It's enough to satisfy their cravings, but it's far from enough to be considered as a reserve food. Fortunately, after arriving at the new home, You Li no longer has to keep watch at night, and she can be freed up. Wang Yan plans to take her out hunting.

Of the family, only Zhuohua and Youli are capable of fighting, but Youli is more skilled at hunting. Usually, when food is scarce, Youli is the one who goes out hunting. Today, Wang Yan plans to go with her to take a look.

The little beast girls don't have bows and arrows, so their hunting method is very simple: they wait for other wild animals to go and kill their prey, and then Yuri jumps out. If they can't beat them, they run away; if they can, they get a free meal. It's that simple.

As the autumn wind grew cooler, Wang Yan and You Li hid in a patch of dry grass, watching a bison drinking water from afar. This bison was probably an old or weak individual that had separated from its herd, so You Li naturally chose it. However, she wasn't very fast, so she decided to wait and see if any laborers could shoot it down for them first.

After lying there for about an hour, Wang Yan pulled his collar tighter, feeling a bit cold. However, You Li beside him was still not wearing anything, only a close-fitting scale armor. He wondered to himself, "Isn't You Li cold?"

"Yuli, it doesn't seem like any other wild beasts are coming out?"

Wang Yan said something, and You Li lowered her voice and said, "Lie down for a while longer. If we still don't see anything, we'll leave. These lone prey usually can't keep up with the herd. Winter is coming soon, and a group of large predators will be hunting extensively to prepare for hibernation. Trust me, they'll be here soon."
