Our neighborhood has been transported again.

Chapter 138 Settlement on the Twenty-Eighth Day (Fourth Update, Please Vote)
"Since you are hunters, you should all know how to make bows, right?"

Zhang Meng replied, "I know a little."

The taller Shi Xiong clasped his hands together and said, "I can make hunting bows, but I can't make crossbows for the army."

Qin Ziwen nodded: "Okay, after you finish dinner, go out and look for materials to make bows. Just bring the materials back, don't go too far. There aren't any wild beasts around the neighborhood right now, so you can take some meat with you. I'll give you a lighter later."

Zhang Meng and Shi Xiong were taken aback. They looked at the night outside, but neither of them objected. They simply clasped their hands in agreement.

Du Yu exclaimed in surprise, "My lord, you sent them out in the middle of the night to gather materials for making bows?"

Qin Ziwen said, "This area has been cleared so many times that it's practically impossible for there to be any wild beasts. We just need to be careful of poisonous insects and snakes. Besides, they are two hunters."

"The danger is indeed not great." Du Yu agreed with this point. The adults had also given the two men a lighter and raw meat, so they didn't have to worry about food that night. They only needed to find suitable wood to make bows.

Qin Ziwen said to the old leather craftsman who looked to be in his fifties, "Chen Pi. Craftsman."

"The grass people are here."

“I have a wild boar skin and a giant ground sloth skin in my collection. Do you think they can be made into good leather?”

Qin Ziwen retrieved the hide of a giant wild boar and the skin of a giant ground sloth, which had just been peeled off and was still covered in fresh blood.

After examining the leather, the old cobbler exclaimed in surprise, "Sir, this is all top-quality leather, but much of it has been ruined by this skinning technique."

The old cobbler felt a pang of regret. Both hides were of good quality, but due to the skinner's inexperience, their thicknesses were uneven, and the damage from arrows and spears had severely damaged their surfaces. In his opinion, these two hides were worth less than 30% of their original value.

Qin Ziwen coughed; he was the one who had skinned this giant wild boar.

"It's alright, just do your best to handle it."

Chen Pi asked cautiously, "Yes, sir. May I ask what you intend to do with these two hides? For display, as clothing, or as armor?"

"Make it into leather armor to prioritize defense."

"Yes, sir. Do you have a scraper?"

"No, go find Li Tieshan, state your requirements, and have him forge one for you."

"Yes."

With only two days left until the time travel, Qin Ziwen felt increasingly urgent, realizing that time was of the essence.

He had already stockpiled some water, and with the fishpond and the level 2 spring, he was not short of water resources; in fact, he had a surplus.

As for meat, we successfully hunted a giant ground sloth today, and with the various wild animals we caught some time ago, we are basically satisfied. Even if we can't find any meat at all in the new map, it will be enough to last for a month, and we'll be fine until the map after that.

But simply being full and having enough to eat and drink is not enough.

Now that he's here, he's not content with just surviving; he wants to live a life worthy of being called a human being.

If the number of new residents arriving on the next map is small, it's fine. But if the number is large, conflicts will definitely break out between them and the existing residents. The only difference is the scale and duration of the conflicts.

The reason the community has been able to stabilize is largely because residents are now able to be self-sufficient in food.

Resources in the Gobi Desert are even scarcer than those in forests.

Lying on my side in bed, I watched the white smoke rising from the cracks in the rock next to me. Although it was night, the temperature in the room was not low, as if the floor heating had been turned on.

"You have successfully survived in the wilderness for 28 days, obtained two cards, and successfully hunted the Great Ground Sloth. Overall score: 111 points"

「获得奖励：【建筑卡】1级民居*1、【强化卡】人类体质强化卡（1星）*2、睡袋*1」

Upon waking up and seeing the results of yesterday's settlement, Qin Ziwen's expression became somewhat subtle. He hadn't expected that the enhancement cards he had used would return in this way.

Moreover, you get two at once.

Qin Ziwen first took out a physique enhancement card and chose to use it on himself.

His blood and muscles were boiling; he felt as if he had gone through a long training session.

When the light from the enhancement card faded, he stretched out his arm and clenched his fist.

He felt like he could kill a bull with one punch. Of course, he knew it was just an illusion.

But he could indeed feel that his strength, speed, endurance, and explosiveness had reached an extremely exaggerated level.

I never knew the differences between people could be so great.

Now both I and Du Yu are at full capacity.

Without much hesitation, Qin Ziwen immediately selected a master for the remaining Human Physique Enhancement Card.

"Xiao Wu, come here."

"Brother, what's wrong?"

"Come upstairs with me." Qin Ziwen was unsure whether using enhancement cards could also activate the homestead.

If possible, then using it on 602 would be the most suitable option.

"Use it." Qin Ziwen took out the enhancement card and handed it to his younger brother.

After receiving the card, Qin Ziwu didn't ask his older brother where it came from, and chose to use it without hesitation.

The moment he used it, Qin Ziwu's expression showed a moment of surprise.

After the enhancement process was complete, Qin Ziwen asked, "How was it?"

Qin Ziwu opened his palm, feeling incredulous. "I feel like I've become incredibly strong."

He suddenly remembered that his older brother had suddenly become much stronger for a period of time. At the time, he thought it was amazing, but now he realized that his older brother must have obtained an enhancement card at that time.

"Has our homeland awakened?"

Qin Ziwu paused for a moment, then nodded. "I've awakened. When I awakened just now, I heard a voice in my ear saying, 'The current home has no owner and is currently occupying the home.'"

Qin Ziwen nodded, "That's it. If a family has more than one member, they can awaken a home by occupying an unclaimed house."

Having acquired a new home, Qin Ziwu didn't care much. According to his elder brother, he was just reserving a "slot" for now, and he would still live downstairs most of the time.

Back home, Qin Ziwen took out the newly acquired building card [Residential].

This building is being acquired for the first time, and judging from its name, it is a place of residence.

Qin Ziwen guessed that the house might be meant to give him two beds and two sets of blankets to improve his sleep quality.

The residential buildings occupy an area of ​​4*3.

The required blank area is not very large.

The card is used, and a flash of white light appears.

A rather simple bungalow has been erected on the site.

There is a wooden door at the front.

There are several holes on the side that serve as "windows".

Pushing open the door, you enter a large communal room with four beds connected on a kang (heated brick bed). Each bed has a cotton quilt and a wooden pillow.

A large wooden cabinet stands against the wall on the left.

A small table was placed against the right wall, with a chamber pot underneath it.

The layout is simple.

Qin Ziwen offered insightful observations on residential architecture.
