Chapter 26: Complete the house reinforcement mission

The beggar man's voice was like a clear spring, making people unconsciously want to listen to him carefully.

If Deng Yin hadn't known that he was involved in this matter, he might have actually been deceived by him.

"Okay, I get it. What's your name?"

"Gao Ruizhe".

Feifei watched the two of them staring at each other, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The atmosphere seemed really nice, so why not let them stay at their own home?

In the past, didn't she always offer to take care of her older brother herself during these kinds of situations?

Could it be that my brother isn't as good-looking as he used to be?

This woman has really high standards.

Gao Ruizhe and Deng Yin chatted for a while longer, but Feifei was so preoccupied with thinking about how demanding this woman was that she didn't hear a single word of their conversation.

Before leaving, Deng Yin called his apprentice aside and said, "Here's some money for you. Take good care of them. Pay them 100 copper coins for each of their three meals, and occasionally buy them some fruit. Consider the rest of the money as your reward for your hard work."

"Hey, don't worry, I'll take good care of them." Apprentices don't get a monthly salary, and this guy is so generous. This money is worth at least one silver coin. I can't believe he got such a good deal!

The apprentice smiled broadly, and seeing him like this, Deng Yin felt relieved.

These four silver coins, after going through many twists and turns, were eventually given away.

If Deng Yin hadn't been busy building houses, he might have actually let them move into his own home in the city.

Although I know they have ulterior motives, it's better to guide than to block. Only by keeping them close at hand can I find out what they really want to do.

It was impractical to tear down the house and rebuild it, so Deng Yin's plan was to add another layer of wall outside the original house.

The reason why louvered bricks are sturdy is not only because of their high density and hardness, but also because of their weight.

In the same gust of wind, a thin person is more likely to be blown away than a fat person.

Deng Yin was not strong, and after a whole morning of hard work, he had only managed to lay down about twenty louvered bricks. During this time, when they ran out of cement, Deng Yin even went to dig some up.

The house was filled with storage space, so Deng Yin had to sleep outside at night, but thankfully there was warmth, so he didn't feel cold.

By the time Deng Yin had built a wall around the main house, more than half a month had passed, and the daytime temperature would sometimes drop to minus thirty degrees Celsius.

Fortunately, there was no strong wind, otherwise the work would have taken longer.

As he became more and more skilled at bricklaying, the high-intensity work led to a large appetite, and muscles gradually spread throughout his body, making him look more robust.

The remaining houses were completed much faster, in less than half a month.

The long-absent system voice sounded again: "Congratulations, host, on completing the mission. You are rewarded with ten points and your space has increased by fifty square meters, for a total of 850 square meters."

Although the space is now 950 square meters, there are only 60 square meters currently available.

I'm taking all 100 square meters of the jade bracelet home with me. It's already more full than the last time I packed it. Now there's absolutely no room left.

The system space is mostly used for farming and animal husbandry, and the remaining small portion is mostly used for harvested vegetables and processed meat.

Deng Yin only built the outer wall; she didn't use all 80,000 louvered bricks, leaving more than 20,000. To save space and make the house more sturdy, she simply added another layer of louvered bricks to the outside of the main house.

The house was sandwiched between two layers of louvered bricks. While the canned tin cans couldn't guarantee the house wouldn't be blown away by a storm, they did ensure its sturdiness.

It is no exaggeration to say that there is no building in the world more sturdy than this house.

Although I became more and more skilled as I went along, it still took me a month and a half to finish.

For the last two weeks, it snowed almost every day. The first thing Deng Yin did every morning when he woke up was to collect the snow around the yard into his spatial storage and then put it by the river.

When it snows, you have to eat a hot pot. The bright red broth is steaming hot, and you can eat dozens of ingredients in one meal. The method is also very simple. All you need is a pot and a bunch of washed and chopped vegetables.

Ever since he tried Baiguo in the village, Deng Yin has fallen in love with the flavor and bought a lot of Baiguo base when he went to buy seasonings.

Eating alone always felt like something was missing, so Deng Yin simply moved the pot into his spatial dimension, taking a bite himself and feeding the pig a bite of food.

All the animals were kept together in the animal enclosure. A chicken that looked very strong jumped up and kicked a pig in the face while it was eating a sweet potato. The pig was stunned and didn't react for a moment. The chicken raised its head and chest, glanced at the pig, and then slowly ate the sweet potato.

It didn't seem to like this way of eating; it only took two bites and then walked away.

The pig, feeling wronged after being kicked, quickly ate the sweet potato that had been torn to pieces by the chicken's beak.

"Tsk." This was the first time Deng Yin had ever seen such a scene, and he found it both hilarious in his behavior and expression.

It's as if these aren't chickens and pigs, but two people.

What's going on? The plants in this space haven't mutated, so why do the animals look like they've mutated?

There was just too much food and meat, so Deng Yin simply slaughtered the same number of animals as when he first bought them. With fewer animals, their reproduction rate would naturally slow down.

The vegetable garden is divided into four sections: one for watermelons, one for oranges, one for strawberries, and one for bananas.

Space farming does not require seasonality; the vegetable garden will change automatically depending on the types of plants grown.

The four fruits require two months, six months, two months, and six months to grow, respectively.

It's September now, and there are still eight months until May, enough time for watermelons and bananas to ripen four times.

These four plots of land are not all the same size. The vegetable garden is a total of 100 square meters, of which 40 square meters are planted with oranges, 40 square meters with bananas, and the remaining 20 square meters are divided equally between watermelons and strawberries.

Oranges and bananas can only ripen once every eight months, so the entire 80 square meters were converted to grow watermelons and strawberries.

According to the apocalyptic texts, extreme cold is usually followed by extreme heat, which makes sense. Natural disasters also follow a pattern; extreme heat disasters are unlikely to occur in winter, and extreme cold disasters are unlikely to occur in summer.

If this situation really occurs, close the account and reopen it as soon as possible.

If a natural disaster does not occur according to the seasons, there are generally only two possibilities: one is that the seasons on this planet are different from those on other planets, and instead of spring, summer, autumn, and winter, the order is randomly disrupted.

Secondly, this planet can no longer sustain itself; the disordered seasons are a warning sign that the planet is sick.

This planet looks fine; this year should be the first time a natural disaster has occurred, and neither of the two scenarios mentioned above will happen.
