Chapter 141 Settlement on the Twenty-Nineth Day (Third Update)

"Dong dong dong."

There was a knock on the door.

Qin Ziwen assumed that Zhang Bo was delivering fish or that Xiao Xuemei was bringing back fish traps.

When they opened the door, they found it was Li Yue.

"Brother Qin."

"Come in and sit down."

From the moment he entered the room, Li Yue seemed preoccupied and absent-minded. Qin Ziwen teased, "What's wrong? Is there something you're embarrassed to say?"

Li Yue said, "That's right, Brother Qin, I'm planning to move my house here."

"You must have spent a lot of money renovating your house."

Li Yue blurted out his thoughts: "That doesn't matter. I just feel that where I live now is a bit far from you. Anyway, I live alone at home, and I haven't built my home with cards yet, so there's still time."

I'm thinking of moving in directly to your building and finding an empty room on your floor. That way, even if something happens in the future, I'll be closer to your place.

Qin Ziwen said, "It's fine as long as you don't find it troublesome."

Li Yue smiled and said, "It's definitely not a problem. Besides, new residents are coming soon, and I'm worried that if they take up the spots, there won't be any left."

"Xiao Wu just used the room upstairs. Now we only have 801 and 202 downstairs left. Which one do you want to stay in? But let me tell you first, people have died in both of these rooms."

Li Yue shared his thoughts: "Let's go with 801! It'll be perfect since I can be neighbors with Brother Deng Guang. 202 is too close to the first floor, and I've heard that lower floors aren't safe."

"By the way, Brother Qin, that guy in the neighborhood who's been shouting everywhere with a megaphone, was that the one you found? I told you my idea worked pretty well!"

"What?" Qin Ziwen asked suspiciously.

He quickly fell silent.

Guo Xiaochun, walking in the distance below the second building, had somehow found a long pole with a piece of yellow cloth tied to it and a large Qin character written on it with paint. He then patrolled the neighborhood.

Holding a large megaphone in his left hand, the megaphone was broadcasting a message on a loop: "Don't miss out! Mr. Qin Ziwen from Building 8 is providing his neighbors with some major news for free! His next world travel adventure will be to the Gobi Desert! The Gobi Desert! The Gobi Desert! I'm saying it three times because it's important. Please prepare your water supply, make sure you have water supply!"

Along the way, people would occasionally approach Guo Xiaochun to chat, presumably to confirm the authenticity of the information.

Guo Xiaochun spoke with such enthusiasm that those who had been asking for information quickly left.

Some neighbors hurriedly left home with buckets, heading towards the river, presumably to fetch water.

"Brother Qin, I told you it would work! At this point, people won't have the patience for all that fancy stuff. You have to be simple and straightforward," Li Yue said smugly.

Qin Ziwen sighed, "It's not hard to come up with this method, but it's hard to put it into practice. Li Yue, you and Guo Xiaochun must be birds of a feather, able to go along with each other and be in cahoots."

"Ahem, brother, these are all derogatory terms," ​​Li Yue coughed and whispered a reminder.

"It's a derogatory term. Okay, let's go to your house first and help you move."

Li Yue was moving too slowly by himself, so Qin Ziwen simply called in more people.

Zhao Pu and Deng Guang welcomed Li Yue's willingness to move to Building 8.

Wang Jun was somewhat tempted, but his wife was still recovering and hadn't gone out recently, so he could only wait and see.

Yuan Minggang had just returned home.

Yuan Dajun then asked him, "You mentioned last time that your team leader's surname is Qin?"

"Yeah, what's up, Dad?"

"This person is not bad; he has a good vision."

Li Yue didn't have much to move.

Room 801 had been cleaned once before, and the windows were kept open for ventilation, so there was no smell.

After moving everything, Li Yue thanked everyone, then privately approached Qin Ziwen and asked, "Captain, do you want to redeem that blank expansion card?"

Qin Ziwen shook his head.

Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this. "I currently have 7 contribution points. If I'm lucky when I go up the mountain tomorrow, I should be able to collect enough to exchange for the 8 points."

Qin Ziwen encouraged him, "Alright, keep it up." Then Li Yue suggested that he could use the Tianxing Archery Gallery to practice archery, and Qin Ziwen readily agreed.

But he was a little puzzled, "After I told you last time, this is your first time here. Are you all just shy?"

Li Yue laughed and said, "I guess everyone's been quite busy these past few days."

When Qin Ziwu heard that Li Yue was coming to practice archery, he decided to become his instructor.

The result was a major setback.

Li Yue's archery skills were actually a bit better than his!
"Isn't this your first time here?!" Qin Ziwu gritted his teeth.

“Yes, this is my first time here.” Li Yue said earnestly.

"Damn it, you're just pretending to be weak while actually being strong!" Qin Ziwu roared in anger.

“Brother Wu, I used to like playing with cold weapons, so I must have played with bows before. But I’m not usually this good at archery. I just don’t know why, after coming here, I feel like I’ve been reborn, like I’ve climbed two floors, right?” Qin Ziwu interrupted him, “This is the building’s buff effect. Everyone who comes in to practice archery can enjoy it. Don’t say anymore. I thought my archery ranking would go up one place, but it went down one place.”

He sighed with regret at the end.

After practicing archery for more than half an hour, Li Yue asked to leave. It was evening, and it was not appropriate to stay at someone else's house for too long.

Before leaving, Li Yue suggested, "Brother Qin, this building is too powerful. Even a complete novice can be trained into a skilled veteran here. The effect of this building is too strong. I think you can charge a fee, based on contribution or other resources."

Qin Ziwen waved his hand dismissively, "No charge for now, let's improve the team's combat effectiveness first. Besides, you're all so poor, let's talk about it when you're richer."

As for whether they will still come to this building after they become "richer," that is definitely a given.

Once they obtain the recruitment card and have new subordinates, how could they refuse after experiencing the magical effects of the Heavenly Star Arrow Corridor? This is called cultivating consumption habits.

A little later, Xiao Xuemei arrived at the door carrying three fish and a fish trap.

One tigerfish and two crucian carp.

He put the tigerfish in a bucket separately, while releasing the two crucian carp into the fishpond.

That evening, Qin Ziwen went to the tavern for a while, but failed to attract any customers.

After washing up, I went to bed.

"You have successfully survived in the wilderness for 29 days, earning one card and a large catch of fish. Overall score: 70 points"

Rewards: [Building Card] Level 1 Archery Workshop *1, [Resource Card] Level 1 Bamboo Forest *1

The Bow and Arrow Workshop—finally, a building dedicated to producing ranged weapons.

And bamboo forest
Bamboo is a valuable material; some types can be used to make spear shafts, some to make bows, and others are suitable for making arrows.

However, there are many types of bamboo, and it's unclear which type of moso bamboo is suitable.

A level 1 bamboo forest requires a 30*30 area, which is about one and a half acres, making it a large space-consuming area. In contrast, the archery workshop only requires a 5*10 area, which is much smaller.

When Qin Ziwen came out after washing up, he saw Du Yu practicing her morning exercises in the living room, with Zhang Meng following along.

Thinking back to yesterday when we went up the mountain together, Du Yu won over Zhang Meng.

"My lord." Upon seeing him approach, Zhang Meng quickly stopped what he was doing.

"Do you know what moso bamboo is? What is it suitable for?"

Zhang Meng quickly replied, "Sir, I know! Nan bamboo is straight and hard, making it perfect for arrow shafts."

At this moment, Du Yu slowly stopped his stance and replied calmly, "My lord, the bamboo walls of Nan bamboo are thick and heavy, making it an excellent material for spear shafts. The disadvantage is that it is relatively heavy, but it is more suitable for dealing with wild animals."

"Suitable for arrows and shafts, but what about a bow?"

Du Yu shook his head: "Bamboo is not tough enough. Bows made of bamboo are prone to breaking and injuring the archer."

Qin Ziwen felt a little regretful, but he was also satisfied.

There is no such thing as a perfect material.
