Reborn as a Cube Man in the Late Ming Dynasty

"Another codfish, damn it, can't you just give me an enchanted book? I'm not greedy, any type will do."

Bai Li couldn't help but complain.

Even the most useless undead killer would do, since it doesn't kill monsters, but at least it can prove that you're not unlucky.

He glanced at his transparent inventory below him, and his feelings became even more complicated.

He fished all night long!

What's in this bag?

Sixteen cod, three pufferfish, and three salmon.

No treasure was found, but a lot of junk was found.

A wooden bowl, a water bottle, a string, and two wooden sticks.

Aside from the thread having some use, the rest of this junk either can't be synthesized by yourself or it's just taking up space.

Even a bone or a piece of bamboo would be helpful.

Bones can be used to synthesize bone meal to ripen rice. With a bit of luck, you might even get extra seeds to expand your farmland.

As for bamboo, it is even more useful. As long as you have a bamboo stalk, you can plant it along the water flow and in a few days you can get more bamboo in a continuous stream.

Putting aside the fact that bamboo can be used for burning, once bamboo production increases, it can serve as an unlimited source of fuel.

Not to mention it can also be used to synthesize paper, which can be used to make bookshelves and enhance enchantment effects.

Moreover, even if one did not use it, it was a very precious resource in ancient times.

Although since graduating from high school, his only source of information about history has been various short videos.

It is unclear whether paper production had already begun in large quantities during this period of the Ming Dynasty.

But he was aware that clean paper made with modern technology was also quite precious at that time.

Not to mention books made of paper.

……

Yes, it's a thick book made up of three sheets of paper.

Bai Li silently complained in her heart.

Oh well, if I get it, I'm lucky; if I lose it, it's fate.

Anyway, I have plenty of time, so I'll just leave it hanging and I'll catch it someday.

He glanced at his status bar.

I fished all night, but my hunger level didn't decrease much.

Sure enough, as long as he doesn't move, there won't be any issues with satiety.

This can be considered an unconventional form of fasting.

"I won't be able to sleep for long anyway, so I might as well stay up all night."

Thinking of this, Bai Li was still not satisfied and planned to continue fishing, not noticing Liu Er and the others in the distance.

"Brother Bai!"

Huh, is that Liu Er's voice?

Looking in the direction of the sound, Bai Li saw Liu Er walking towards him and Liu Dexi following behind, leading an ox.

And he's leading a cow, at this hour?

His mother's illness must have suddenly worsened, otherwise she wouldn't have come here so far in advance.

Liu Er's anxious words confirmed his suspicions.

"Brother Bai, I'm so glad you're not asleep! I've brought the ox; please save my mother!"

Where is your mother?

"My father couldn't walk far because he was carrying my mother, so he asked me to clear the way for him. I'm still behind him now, but we'll be there soon."

Following the direction Liu Er pointed, Bai Li saw a large group of dark figures behind her.

"Okay, I understand." Bai Li nodded solemnly, knowing he needed to get the milk out quickly so he could give it to his mother as soon as possible.

He took the bucket out of his backpack, intending to leave the water in it aside.

Oh dear, how could you just throw away such clean water like that?

Even if it's just for irrigating farmland, it's such a waste to just dump it away.

This action made Liu Dexi, who was standing next to Bai Li, feel sorry for her and wanted to stop her.

But then, remembering Bai Lishenyi's performance just now, Liu Dexi withdrew his left foot, stood there hesitantly, and swallowed back what he wanted to say.

What a waste of this water!

Bai Li didn't notice Liu Dexi's series of actions and expressions. He was carrying an empty bucket and looked at the old ox in front of him with a troubled expression.

Feeding the chickens is fine; you just need to put wheat seeds in their mouths.

But how do you make this milk?

The one in front of us is male.

Give it a try and see if it works.

Bai Li, carrying an empty bucket, silently recited "use" to the old ox.

Milky white milk gushed out from the bottom, instantly overflowing the entire iron bucket.

Bai Li kept a close eye on the changes in the old ox in front of him, and thankfully, it did not cause any harm to its body.

Although you can keep taking them, you still can't take them too frequently, as taking too many at once could cause damage.

Bai Li estimated that if needed in a few minutes, she would get the milk again.

"Alright, all you need to do now is have your mother drink this bucket of milk, and that should cure her illness."

"Brother Bai, do we have to drink the whole bucket of milk?" Liu Er looked at the huge bucket of milk, swallowed hard, and although he trusted Bai Li, this was still a bit too scary.

If I drank the whole bucket, I'd die.

It's no wonder Liu Er reacted this way, Bai Li thought to herself.

This metal bucket isn't a small bucket; it contains a full cubic meter of milk!

One cubic meter of water weighs a full ton.

Not to mention milk.

What does one ton mean? It's one thousand kilograms!

The world record for the highest weightlifting is only 477 kilograms.

Of course, Bai Li could lift it with ease, and even felt no pressure at all.

Even he felt a chill run down his spine looking at the full glass of milk in his hand.

You're asking me how I know? This is the first time I've ever heard of this either.

I haven't even been Steve for a few days yet!

But isn't milk supposed to be non-satiating? Maybe it just disappears after you drink it.

Besides, isn't this milk taken from that cow? A whole ton of milk is fine, so the person should probably be fine too.

It should be drinkable.

"Don't worry, this milk won't cause bloating; it will dissolve in your stomach. If your mother really can't handle it, you can stop her halfway through."

Heavy footsteps echoed through the quiet woods, and Liu Da appeared before Bai Li carrying Ye Lan on his back.

The woman on his back was pale, and her arms, visible under the thin blanket, were as thin as bamboo sticks.

Her hair fell naturally, and there was no unpleasant odor emanating from her body, indicating that she had been carefully cared for.

Liu Da took a slight breath, then gestured to Liu Ye to take out the cloth from the basket, cover it on the ground, and gently turned his body to put Ye Lan down.

"Wait a minute, if you don't mind, my accommodation has a bed made of leaves, although it's a bit simple."

But it's still much better than placing it on this hard ground, and besides, it provides some shelter from the wind.

Liu Da instinctively refused, but after seeing his sister's pained expression, he silently nodded and said...

"Yes, I will follow Bai Xianjun's arrangements."

"Okay, come with me."

……

"Village chief! Village chief!"

"Ah, it's Liu Er. Has your mother's illness been cured? Where are they? Have they gone back?"

Liu Dexi seemed to wake from a dream, and he subconsciously asked.

"No, my mother and the others went inside. I saw you staring at this puddle of water, so I thought I'd call you."

"I'm not going in. Don't worry about me, I'll just stay here and watch for a while."

Liu Dexi was acting strangely; he stared blankly at the cubic meter of water.
