Huh? Isn't this an adventure kingdom building game?! Chapter 54 Melting Workshop

[The simplified version of the Yin Warrior made using the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill, a disposable item. Use by burning it into ordinary size for summoning; turns to ash after damage, or in three hours without damage.]

[The simplified version of the coffin made using the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill, a disposable item. Use by burning for body preservation; turns to ash after damage, but bodies won’t be damaged during preservation; turns to ash in three hours without damage.]

[The interdiate paper crane made using the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill, can be used multiple tis. Set your own spell for use. Can carry heavy loads and fly at a high speed, with minor combat ability; can still fly with minor damage, turns to ash with severe damage or excessive use.]

Looking at the system details, Jiang Yuan felt more intrigued.

It didn’t matter if the wife and mother-in-law were murderous; the task only required returning the deceased, and as long as it’s delivered, you get the skill book. Firstly, the death had nothing to do with , so there’s nothing to fear. Secondly, if they caused trouble, I still have a Teleportation Talisman, don’t I?

Once I get the skill book, I can use the talisman to leave. Next ti, I’ll take a detour via Caomao Ridge to the Old Dragon Cave. Let’s see how much trouble they can cause.

Jiang Yuan guessed blindly that won couldn’t easily leave their courtyard. Otherwise, even the most confused old lady wouldn’t expose her ho to strangers. Also, he had a gut feeling that the strength of the wife and mother-in-law only worked in their courtyard. Once outside, they’d be no different than ordinary people, especially since the eerie Yin Energy likely made them afraid of sunlight.

Wan Mingchuan had only been cultivating the "Heaven-Burning Scripture" for two days, and they were visibly displeased. I’m about to upgrade the Heaven-Burning Fla to Level One; this gives an edge!

"This is a stick of Soothing Incense. Light it to repel mosquitoes, snakes, and ants, allowing a peaceful sleep. Thank you for returning my husband’s belongings, sparing us from waiting in vain..." While speaking, she sobbed, with tears of blood staining her handkerchief.

Watching this made Wan Mingchuan feel cold and uneasy. Having lived in Riverfront Village all his life, he had only heard bizarre ghost stories from nomads but never witnessed them. Today’s experiences were both eye-opening and terrifying.

The more he compared, the more mysterious his master seed. Faced with the sudden onslaught of a ghost-like woman, he was fearless and uninterested in the bizarre paper humans and cranes, as if he was profoundly familiar with it!

"Who exactly is my master? How can he be so powerful at such a young age?" Even after regaining his strength to leave the eerie courtyard with his master, Wan Mingchuan silently pondered, feeling fortunate for having such an enigmatic master, believing he would achieve greatness.

The side quest delayed so ti, and Jiang Yuan planned his upcoming tasks.

First, he needed to build the lting Workshop imdiately. The Ores in the Storage Box could be turned into Spirit Stones and banked. Besides that, he needed to check the blueprint for the stove to prepare the required materials, tired of buying food from the Market constantly;

Secondly, he had to harvest the wild grass on the road, since the stove might need dry grass for cooking. Even if unnecessary, it would be convenient to clean the bluestone path early;

Then, he needed to replenish his Physical Strength and Life Energy by having a al. Once the Wilderness arrived, he had to report to work at Lushan, then pick cherries and mulberries. After that, he had to visit Crescent Lake and use the Paperman and Paper Horse Skill to collect Tian Changgui’s body...

"After a busy night, I must log out of the ga and rest. Being imrsed for too long isn’t good for the body and mind. Most importantly, everything in the Wilderness ga should serve reality and not the other way around." He thought this while heading ho with his apprentice.

About fifty ters from the courtyard, Jiang Yuan took out a scythe from the Storage Bag.

Wan Mingchuan’s eyes lit up at the sight. "Master, let do it! I often do this work and assure you it’ll be quick and well done!"

"Alright then, I’ll head ho to take care of so things. Don’t overdo it, and head ho to eat when you feel tired."

"Got it! Leave it to !" He felt proud to help his master with such manageable work.

With the swish of the scythe, he continued to reap with vigor. Jiang Yuan, a bit puzzled, saw the goodwill steadily increasing, unable to comprehend what self-strategy his apprentice was employing daily?

Helping with work and even increasing my goodwill!

Back in the courtyard, he observed the current layout. Two cherry trees were on the northernmost side by the western river, beside which were the thatched hut and Floating Market standing side-by-side. The well was located in the middle on the east, while the strawberry field ready for harvest lay in the middle of the yard.

Where would be an appropriate spot for the lting Workshop?

He glanced at the Marketplace images, thinking this thing, constantly burning, would be noisy and emit heat, so it should be so distance from the thatched hut for sleeping.

After a round, he finally placed the lting Workshop, after gathering enough materials, at the southwest corner of the courtyard. Clicking to build, Jiang Yuan watched the familiar building process with practiced ease.

[Task 2 completed, reward issued.]

[Task 3: Build a basic Mill. Reward: Unlock Wilderness Long Rice Seeds.]

"Indeed, it’s a farming ga. It’s really one step leading to another." Jiang Yuan clicked to use the blueprint; the stove had to be crafted on the basic workbench, requiring fifty iron ingots in addition to conventional materials.

And iron ingots were the finished product forged in the lting Workshop.

Building the basic mill would also require a large number of iron ingots, so he decided to gather materials for the task first. After all, building the stove without ingredients would be in vain. Better to build the mill to unlock rice seeds, grow rice, then build the stove, so he could cook rice himself in the future!

The architecture style of the basic lting Workshop remained rustic and rough. On the left was a small house with a simple gabled roof, while the right was a massive round furnace built of stones. Its distinct purpose was apparent at a glance.

He pushed the door open to find the interior of the lting Workshop simple.

A row of four "trays" with a broad stone trough below, dark and mysterious inside.

[Ignite the burn material in the furnace trough; the higher the fla level, the longer the burn ti and shorter the forging process.]

"Even the fire has levels?" After reading the detailed introduction, Jiang Yuan casually tossed a Heaven-Burning Fla into the stone trough.

"Boom!"

As the roaring flas burned, the countdown appeared above the trough: Ti remaining for furnace extinction: 23:59:58.

Not bad, it could burn a full day and night, eliminating the constant need to fuel the fire.

He put the remaining iron ore in the first tray from his Storage Bag; thirty pieces of ore could forge five iron ingots. He also filled the remaining three trays with Spirit Stone Ore.

Forging five iron ingots would take six hours, and the ore hadn’t yet entered the lting Furnace, leaving the forging duration unknown.

"Building the mill requires sixty iron ingots, and one iron ingot needs six iron ores, aning a total of three hundred sixty iron ores..." Jiang Yuan calculated ticulously, realizing he would need to frequent the Old Dragon Cave to gather materials shortly.

He returned to organize the Storage Bag and Storage Box supplies, ensuring a smooth night outing. Proceeding to pick up his apprentice and recover the dry grass, he and his apprentice finished the last few packs of food, and the Wilderness descended once more.
