In this post-apocalyptic world, I unexpectedly became a star galaxy master.

Fortunately, after a thorough inspection, no other insects were found in the stone house and the space, which put Hongtang at ease.

This also allowed her to find the loophole in the stone house.

It turned out that the insects had entered through the sink and the bathroom drain.

Hongtang found two silicone drain covers and plugged both drains, removing them when needed. She then found waterproof epoxy putty and sealed all the gaps in the stone house, before spraying it with insect repellent and pesticide, finally feeling completely at ease.

Feeling that the small house was a bit empty, Hongtang took out an outdoor inflatable sofa bed, laid a thin blanket on it, and placed it in the living room. Now the small house was full.

By pasting mirror stickers on the living room walls and in the bathroom, mirrors are created. The entire space then appears more spacious and bright.

Hongtang nodded in satisfaction, opened the outer stone door, and the bright sunlight streamed in through the glass window. The implanted genes buried in the DNA of the Dragon Kingdom's people suddenly awakened.

The stone house is still missing a few dishes.

Find a four-tiered movable vegetable growing rack, plant lettuce, scallions, cherry tomatoes, and strawberry seeds inside. After Hongtang encourages them to grow into seedlings, she places them on the small balcony to bask in the sun.

"Brother Ha, see this sofa and vegetable rack? You can't scratch them, understand? Otherwise, your fishpond reward will be canceled."

HaGe: "Meow!"

I understand now. That's why I reached out my claws at them. They're neither as cute as crunchy little snacks nor as delicious as fish from the pond.

After tidying up the interior, it's time to start tidying up the exterior.

There are many scrap stones outside the stone house. The large pieces of red sandalwood have been stored in the space for future use, and now only small and medium-sized pieces are left.

Originally, we planned to take everything, but then we realized this place is too flat, and what if someone happens to pass by and builds a shelter here? So we have to leave some stones here and transplant some trees.

This rocky hill also needs some camouflage; we should cover it with vines and other plants.

Without further ado, Hongtang remembered that when she bought Chinese medicine, the herbalist had given her a batch of seeds, including dodder seeds.

Yes, dodder is a medicinal herb, but for other plants, especially trees, it is a "vampire" and a "plant killer".

Activating the wood energy, the seed in my hand began to sprout and grow rapidly.

The outer stone door was closed, and the seeds were scattered at the bottom of the rocky hill. The dodder began to climb up the hill, quickly covering half of it.

Take out another handful of seeds and continue to encourage growth. Continue until the entire mountain is covered with dodder.

Hongtang then channeled her ice energy, transforming it into ice blades, and used them to cut the dodder vines along the outline of the stone gate, ensuring that the gate would not be obstructed when it opened.

Hongtang can actually leave the stone house using the "spatial teleportation" skill, so she doesn't need to open the stone door frequently. However, the stone house still needs regular sunlight to keep it dry and well-ventilated, and the seedlings she just planted also need sunlight. She just needs to carefully manage the timing and duration of the sunlight exposure.

"Host, the dodder you just induced to grow looks amazing! You should prepare more seeds; they might come in very useful." The younger sister suddenly spoke up.

"Okay, I understand," Hongtang replied perfunctorily. There were many more of these seeds in the space; if that wasn't enough, she could also induce them to germinate.

However, let's leave those dodder seeds that we just forced to grow as they are for now; they will be dried in the sun later.

Opening the stone door again, Hongtang covered the half-walls and wooden frames on both sides of the second door with dodder, also creating a disguise. This way, the second door wouldn't be immediately obvious.

The outer pile of stones has been arranged, and some dead trees have been transplanted. But it doesn't seem to be enough; we need to continue.

As the sun grew stronger, Hongtang worked even harder.

Seeing that Hongtang did not understand her meaning, her younger sister continued to explain.

[Host, you could actually find some highly aggressive plants as weapons. Dodder would be good, but with your interdimensional trading system, you might be able to find even more powerful ones.]

Hongtang smacked her lips, thinking her sister's words made a lot of sense. "Sister, could you 'search' in the system for me first and see if there are any relevant interdimensional merchants? I'll finish the disguise setup here first."

[Okay, host. Don't worry about leaving it to my sister. I'll report back to you after you're done.]

All the trees have been transplanted, but we still need to scatter some fallen leaves. Let's call Ha Ge, and the two of us, one human and one cat, will go to a place a little further away to collect fallen leaves.

Using her "spatial teleportation" skill, Hongtang quickly returned. She scattered fallen leaves under various withered trees, and didn't forget the nearby piles of stones.

“If vines are growing on the rocky mountain, there’s no reason why they shouldn’t grow on the trees.” Hongtang stroked her chin and scattered dodder seeds in a patch of transplanted dead trees.

To induce birth, growth, flowering, and seed formation.

Since dodder seeds can be used as weapons, we should at least collect some seeds for future use.

By the time they finished harvesting the dodder seeds from the entire field, it was already noon, the height of the day. Ha Ge was already hiding in the shade, sticking out his tongue.

Seeing that it was in good condition, Hongtang couldn't help but marvel at the incredible adaptability of mutated animals. If it were any other ordinary animal, it would probably have fainted from the heat or died from dehydration long ago.

I picked up Ha Ge and carried him back to the stone house, and immediately felt refreshed. With the heater on, the whole house maintained a constant temperature of 28°C all day, and plenty of sunlight streamed in.

Hongtang grew to love this stone cottage more and more the more she looked at it.

After feeding HaGe energy water, it quickly recovered and started jumping around the room. Hongtang thought it had caught fleas while playing outside.

"Brother Ha, don't scratch or bite the sofa and the seedlings!" Hongtang gently scolded Brother Ha, catching his mischievous little paws just in time.

"To celebrate the completion of our little home, how about you two work together to cook lunch today?"

Ha Ge tilted his head, his small eyes darting around, seemingly not understanding what Hong Tang was saying.

Ha Ge: Silly woman, I heard you're going to cook for me again? But your food is really awful, I'd rather hunt for myself.

Without giving Ha Ge a chance to refuse, Hong Tang led Ha Ge to the fishpond.

"Brother Ha, 'spark' those shrimp, and we'll have a huge pot of incredibly delicious shrimp porridge for lunch today." Hong Tang didn't dare handle the live shrimp, but if Brother Ha stunned them, then it wouldn't be a problem.

"How much you knock out, that's how much we'll eat for lunch."

"Meow~ Meow!" Great, I can finally have a big meal.

One minute later...

"Brother Ha, that's enough, that's too much, the two of us can't finish it." This little guy is too wasteful, doesn't he know about sustainable development?

They only picked up 10 large shrimp before leaving the space with their cat.

Because of charging the outdoor power bank, HaGe is now able to control the amount of electricity released very well, so there's no need to worry about the stunned shrimp dying. They'll be lively and energetic again in a little while; maybe they're just "playing dead" right now.

Who told Brother Ha to come over and "electrify" us from time to time? The fish and shrimp have long since mastered the art of "turning belly up".

Playing dead is a skill in itself.
