Traveling through time and space to achieve a well-off life with your family

After the three of them had their fill, Cheng Mo looked at the animal skins that Ban Mu had brought back with curiosity. The preliminarily defatted animal skins felt very soft to the touch, and there was no peculiar smell. It was unknown what kind of animal the skins were from. Ban Mu also brought back a few large leaves, and Cheng Mo recognized that they were the leaves he used to make his bed. When they first arrived at this place, their beds were not made up, and they were going to go out after dinner to find some, but Ban Mu had already thought of it.

After dinner, Banmu was not idle. He picked up the animal skin and prepared to go out to process it. This was the fur of the burning beast, which was very suitable for making beds and clothes. It was loved by many females and cubs, but the burning beast was very cunning and difficult to catch. There were many burning beasts nearby. He found one easily and spent a lot of effort to catch one. He remembered that there was a forest of explosive trees outside the valley. The explosive fruit was perfect for processing animal skins, but you had to be careful not to be hurt by the explosive fruit. The mature explosive fruit could easily hurt an adult beastman. So Banmu chose to pick the explosive fruit alone without bringing Cheng Mo. However, Cheng Mo was looking at the things in front of him with a headache and didn't notice that Banmu went out.

Cheng Mo was going to build a stove, but there was wind in the Valley of Wind all year round, so the stove had to be in a suitable location, otherwise the smoke would drift into the cave when the wind blew and it would be a disaster. Cheng Mo wanted to build a smokeless stove, which was simple to build, but there was a lack of materials! Just as he was worrying, 079 appeared. It had been thinking hard for many days about how to give rewards, and now it finally knew what the host needed!

"Host, the novice mission rewards will be issued soon, please sign for them!" 079 praised his own wit. It couldn't give more things, but it could still give things to build a smokeless stove. Anyway, the host could find and make these things in the future, so it might as well give some in advance and sell them well, so that the host wouldn't keep nagging later.

A bag of cement and bricks appeared in front of him, and Cheng Mo's eyes lit up. This was someone sending a pillow to me when I was sleepy! But...

"I remember I completed two tasks, and you only give me this?" Cheng Mo pointed at the cement on the ground with some disgust. He really wanted the bricks, but he didn't particularly want cement. You know, clay is easiest to get by the stream, and the clay here has a high degree of adhesion. After it dries, it is very hard and is more useful than cement.

"This... these are also two rewards!" 079 was so worried that Cheng Mo would refuse that he wanted to cry but had no tears. The host was becoming more and more difficult to serve.

"Are you trying to trick me with this kind of thing?" Cheng Mo snorted coldly. 079 seemed to be becoming more and more humane after the upgrade. From its tone just now, it sounded guilty. It seems that there is something fishy about this reward!

079 reluctantly discussed: "This is not a scam. You see, you need a smokeless stove now. Cement and bricks can build a smokeless stove! Isn't this good?"

Cheng Mo raised his lips: "Oh? How do you know that I only need a smokeless stove now? I need a lot of things, and you didn't just give me a smokeless stove as a reward? You had to give me the materials so that I could make it myself. And with just a few things, how big can I make it?"

079 didn't dare to give the finished product directly. It wasn't as bold as the old tree spirit. It gave the planting tools as soon as it was asked. At most, it gave the materials and let the host deal with them. But the host's words made it difficult for it. It didn't dare to give too many things. Without Cheng Mo's hands, some things would have unpredictable changes when they appeared here. Even the two rewards it gave were released with the consent of the world consciousness. After all, these two things can easily find substitutes in this world.

"Host, it's not that I don't want to give you other things, but some things cannot be obtained without hard work! I can give you the raw materials, but you need to build it yourself. Only in this way will what you get be recognized by the world's legacy and can be preserved in this world!" 079 explained earnestly.

"I don't want to get something for nothing. According to what you said, the things given by the old tree spirit should not exist? It was you who asked me to agree to the old tree spirit's request in the first place." Cheng Mo understood what 079 meant, but he still wanted to fight for it.

"What the old tree spirit did has nothing to do with us! This is its own business, and it must take its own responsibility!" 079 hurriedly distanced himself from the matter. It is better to distinguish some things clearly.

"Oh! It's not that I can't understand your difficulties. How about this, you give me some things for iron smelting? You don't have to ask for tools, just give me the materials! This is my last concession." Cheng Mo pretended to be in trouble.

079 said with a righteous look: "Host, you should know that I can't give you much. But..." Then he changed the subject: "I can only provide you with the location of the iron ore, the rest is really not available to me!"

Cheng Mo was secretly delighted. He knew that 079 would not provide him with iron ore directly, but knowing the location of the mine was enough. They were not in a hurry to use it anyway, so they had to make the iron smelting tools first. So Cheng Mo pretended to compromise helplessly.

Just then, Banmu came back with the processed animal skins. When he saw the cement and bricks at the entrance of the cave, he was a little shocked: "Xiaomo? What are these?"

Cheng Mo smiled and picked up the dozing Cheng Lingqu kid: "These will be used as beds and stoves. The stove is where we cook. I'll need your help then."

Ban Mu nodded. He didn't ask where these things came from. He just wanted to know what they were. Cheng Mo has always been very mysterious. He just needed to protect Cheng Mo. He didn't need to ask about other things.

Banmu didn't know how these things became beds and stoves, but Cheng Mo knew. However, before building the stove, you have to choose a good location and measure the size, otherwise the stove will not fit the pot. He planned to build a rural earth stove. First, he took Banmu to measure the size and mark the location for construction, then mixed the cement and piled up bricks around the previously marked shape. Then they prepared to make the countertop. First, they laid large leaves on the ground to prevent the countertop from sticking to the ground after it dried. After using branches to surround the general shape, they filled it with cement mixed with stones. In order to prevent the cement countertop from loosening, they also embedded a few tough vines in it. After all, they lacked steel bars, so they could only use what they had on hand. The wind in the Valley of the Wind was very strong, and the finished countertop dried out in a short while. After building the countertop on the finished base, they continued to pile up bricks. The first layer of the countertop was made in the same way, but this layer of the countertop had to leave a smoke exhaust vent and a hole for placing the stone pot. They temporarily replaced the smoke exhaust pipe with bamboos that they had brought back from the God-forsaken Land. Cheng Mo also asked Ban Mu to find a flat stone. He wanted to make an oven, and use stone instead of steel. Although the heat conduction function was not as good, it was not impossible. When cooking, the heat would be transferred to the oven, so it would not be a waste of firewood. But he didn't know what to use to replace the oven door. If the sealing ability was not good, the heat of the oven would dissipate. After thinking about it, Cheng Mo decided to use a stone instead, but it was more laborious to block the oven door with a stone.

Looking at the finished stove, Cheng Mo felt that his previous hard work was worth it. The next step was to wait for the cement to dry. They still had to make the bed! However, it was getting late, and it was too tiring to continue, so the three of them rested early.
