I build a shelter in the eternal night.

Chapter 7: Eternal Night Descends, Time to Get to Work!

"understood."

The bronze-skinned man said thoughtfully, "Stationmaster, do you mean that Chen Fan's mother might have left him some kind of backup plan?"

"That's true, after all, he's a level 4 architect, he's not short of money."

"Yes."

Wang Kui nodded, and as they walked to his station, he whispered, "That's why we're trying to build a good relationship. I've worked for the Wang family for so long, and I still have plenty of five strange stones."

"It's not a pity even if it's lost."

"But if you make a profit, the other party will definitely reciprocate out of gratitude for this good deed."

"It doesn't matter if there's no reward."

"When you're out and about, it's never a bad thing to have more friends and fewer enemies."

"correct--"

"When you deliver the supplies later, watch your tone. Don't give people the feeling that you're doing them a favor. Good intentions can lead to bad karma."

"Don't worry, stationmaster, leave it to me!"

"Master."

Jiangbei Chenjia No. 37 Station.

The lame monkey stuffed the knife back into his pocket, looked at the departing figures of Wang Kui and the other man, and said hoarsely, "These two probably think we'll steal their business in the future, so they might not be friendly. Should we strike first?"

"Need not."

Chen Fan shook his head and didn't say anything more. He simply took the rope from the lame monkey, tied it to the "beast trap," and waited for nightfall.

His plan is simple.

Once night falls, as soon as you sense any movement from the "bear trap," immediately pull it into the safe zone, kill the creature with a knife, and then return the trap to the darkness.

This allows the animal traps to be reused.

Low-level monsters can be killed with this ordinary knife.

For monsters of a slightly higher level, this ordinary knife cannot cause any damage at all.

The creatures that can be trapped in the "beast trap" are all of low level and will not suffer a backlash.

After conducting the experiment, Chen Fan went back inside to catch up on sleep, leaving the lame monkey alone outside to keep watch, preparing to take turns catching up on sleep before working that night.

"Master, Master."

Awakened, Chen Fan went outside and saw a burly man with extremely rough, bronze skin. He was standing outside the camp, dragging a plank, grinning and waving at him.

This is the subordinate who was following behind Wang Kui earlier.

He hasn't spoken yet.

The burly man spoke first, explaining, "Station Chief Chen, before your station was abandoned, Station Chief Wang borrowed some food and water from your camp. After your Chen family left the camp, they never had a chance to return it."

"It just so happens that your Chen family restarted this site, so you immediately sent me here to return it without delay."

"well."

"I won't stay any longer; I still have things to do at the station."

After the burly man left.

The lame monkey walked warily to the cart. Two large vats were filled with food. One was filled with clean, pure water, and the other was filled with food, including dozens of dry biscuits, rice, various vegetables, and two steaming roast ducks.

"Gurgle."

After the lame monkey's throat involuntarily twitched, he said decisively, "Young Master, it's definitely poisonous!"

"It won't be poisonous."

Chen Fan shook his head: "The moment they revealed my identity, I knew I wouldn't live much longer. There was no need to poison them and cause trouble for myself."

"Not poisonous?"

The lame monkey frowned, somewhat disbelieving: "Could it really be a return of a borrowed item? Is Wang Kui really so trustworthy?"

"of course not."

Chen Fan picked up five strange stones from the bottom of the jar, weighed them in his hand, and suddenly laughed: "Consider it an investment. The other party thinks I might not die and is betting on my future."

"You mean it's a gift for us?" "Yes."

"Then what did he say?"

"They're really thoughtful, afraid of hurting my self-esteem."

"But if that's the case, isn't he worried that we won't remember this favor in the future? After all, he said he would repay it."

"."

Chen Fan patted the lame monkey's head: "Go inside and catch up on your sleep. I'll keep watch from now on."

"Yes!"

After the lame monkey entered the house.

Chen Fan began to take stock of the camp's current assets. He had to admit that the angel investment came at the right time, allowing him to not worry about food in the short term. The five strange stones would also be of great help to him.

There are also two mysterious stones inside the "mysterious fire," which can sustain the fire for two days.

These two strange stones cannot be moved. I need to give myself at least one day to make a mistake. I can't be too stuck.

With these 5 more strange stones, he now has a total of 6 strange stones.

Six strange stones.
He looked at the five basic buildings that came with the Night Lord's interface.
-
"Currently, five types of basic buildings can be constructed."

"Level 1 Wall": Can withstand the impact of low-level monsters. It costs 10 monster stones to build one meter.

"Level 1 Farmland": Can greatly shorten the maturity cycle of plants, and it costs 2 Mysterious Stones to create one plot.

"Level 1 Arrow Tower": Can deal some damage to low-level ghosts, requires 10 Ghost Stones to build.

"Level 1 Wooden House": It has good insulation and wind protection, and requires 2 Mysterious Stones to build.

"Level 1 Sacrifice Tower": Can obtain special resources, requires 20 Mysterious Stones to build.
-
City wall
That's fucking expensive.

One meter requires 10 Ghost Stones. His current Ghost Fire safety range is 10 meters, which means he needs a 32-meter city wall, which requires 320 Ghost Stones. He definitely can't afford to build it for the time being.

If he were to actually encounter the strange tides and strange fires, he would accept it.

He's just unlucky.

After thinking for a moment.

With the remaining 6 Strange Stones, he created 3 more "Level 1 Bear Traps".

So far——

He acquired four bear traps, but at the cost of his completely empty pockets, without a single strange stone left.

Next.

We're just waiting for the eternal night to fall, time to get to work!

"call"

Chen Fan patted his round belly, looked at the dense darkness rushing in from the horizon, and let out a long breath.

I am full.

The roast duck was delicious, so juicy and flavorful.

Four steel level 1 animal traps, bound with hemp rope, were placed on the wasteland outside the light circle.

next moment!
A dense darkness completely enveloped them, and the light emitted by the eerie fire enveloped the two of them like an eggshell. The rustling sound echoed in their ears again, and countless strange creatures had descended with the eternal night!
"Lame monkey".

Chen Fan, looking slightly nervous, whispered, "I'll hold the rope, you're responsible for killing him with one blow. Be careful!"

"clear."

The lame monkey was also a little nervous. This was his first time trying to kill a monster head-on, so it would be a lie to say he wasn't nervous.

at last.

Half an hour later, one of the ropes suddenly swayed slightly, but Chen Fan noticed the difference immediately. He took a deep breath, grabbed the rope with both hands, and slowly pulled the animal trap placed in the darkness back.

The moment the bear trap was pulled into the light circle.

A monkey-like creature with one leg caught in a bear trap was pulled into the circle of light.

It was indeed the monkey-headed demon.
