Luban and Mozi

Lin Feng arrived at the Outer Valley.

After the Players finished learning skills and receiving quests from him, the veteran Players went to team up and challenge the Illusion Realm, while the new Players went to complete their beginner quests. He, on the other hand, found himself with nothing to do.

So he came to the Outer Valley to discuss building a residential area with Ying Zhan and the others.

The Outer Valley had a small freshwater lake, oval-shaped and covering over thirty mu. Since they had relocated to the valley, the Tribe had been drawing water from the lake.

The water source in the lake primarily came from natural rainfall.

Lin Feng planned to build the residential area on a patch of open ground east of the lake, which would be convenient for residents to fetch water.

Of course, relevant regulations would also need to be established, strictly prohibiting residents from polluting the lake.

"Tribe Leader, if you're talking about setting up tents, I'm naturally very skilled. But when it comes to building wooden houses, I'm not so sure."

When discussing building houses, Ying Zhan scratched his head.

The Ying Clan Tribe was a small Tribe, with only about thirty people in total, so there was no need to build houses to settle down.

They usually just found a place, set up a few tents, or lived in caves. When the prey in the vicinity became scarce, they would move to the next location.

He could build wooden houses, but he couldn't guarantee their sturdiness.

What if, after painstakingly building a large area of houses, a strong gust of wind blew them all down one day? Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

"Pan Xiong, your Baimu Tribe lives in houses, you must know about this!"

Ying Zhan cast a pleading look towards Pan Xiong, who was standing nearby.

"Our Tribe is in the Baimu Forest, and our houses are built using existing trees. As for building houses on open ground, I'm not very knowledgeable either, but I can try."

Pan Xiong said, scratching his head.

His concerns were the same as Ying Zhan's.

They could build them, but they couldn't guarantee their sturdiness or durability.

Lin Feng looked at them and sighed helplessly.

It seemed he couldn't rely on them.

He would have to rely on the Players. He hoped that among this batch of new Players, there would be one or two talented individuals in this area.

Lin Feng opened the system and issued a quest to all Players.

Quest Name: House Construction

Quest Content: The Tribe needs to build a residential area, but the Tribe Leader, lacking any construction experience, is struggling with the issue of house building. If you know how to build a sturdy and beautiful wooden house, report to the Tribe Leader within thirty minutes.

Quest Reward: 10 experience points, 10 Contribution Points.

Since it was just about reporting to the Tribe Leader, the experience points generated by the system were very small.

But it was clear that this quest had follow-up quests!

Lin Feng set the quest duration to half an hour. After half an hour, the quest would automatically be canceled.

After the quest was issued, all online Players received the quest notification.

In a forest in the Outer Valley, a group of new Players were swinging their stone axes, diligently chopping down trees.

This was the first part of their beginner quest.

Although chopping trees was a tedious and arduous task, they were enthusiastically chopping trees in the game, filled with a sense of novelty.

A few people who were close by chatted while chopping.

"I never dreamed this game could be so realistic. The veteran Players on the forums weren't exaggerating at all! I saw the game's official website link in a game group and clicked on it out of curiosity to make a reservation. Look at this axe, the details of these trees, the realism, it's absolutely amazing!"

A Player exclaimed while chopping wood.

"It's truly astonishing. It's hard to believe that technology has developed to this point! I heard that when you log into the game, your body enters a deep sleep state, effectively doubling your time! If you moved your company into the game, working at the company during the day and handling documents in the game at night, wouldn't work efficiency double?"

Another Player said.

"Holy crap, are you a Devil?"

"996 becomes 247?"

"Scary!"

Just as the Players were chatting enthusiastically, the quest update notification suddenly rang out.

Can't find the book by searching the title, you can try searching the author, maybe the name has just been changed!

Everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing, opened their quest panels, and took a look.

"Building houses... unfortunately, I don't know how."

"I've never moved bricks before, who knows about that stuff?"

"Even if you moved bricks, it's useless. There are no bricks in the Tribe, so it's obviously about building wooden houses."

"The quest gives 10 experience points and contribution points. Should we go find the Tribe Leader to report the quest, and then say we don't know how?"

"I advise you not to do that. I heard from veteran Players on the forums that NPCs have hidden favorability ratings. It's said that if their favorability is high enough, it's easier to receive exclusive and hidden quests. If you go and deceive an NPC like this, you'll most likely lose favorability."

"Then let's forget it."

The Player, who had originally intended to cheat for experience and Contribution Points, immediately lost his nerve.

For a mere amount of experience points and Contribution Points, losing an NPC's favorability was simply not worth it.

Amidst the discussions of many novice Players, two Players who were chopping wood suddenly put down the axes in their hands and exchanged a knowing glance.

Flames burned in their eyes.

"Our chance to shine has arrived!"

"That's right, son. Our chance to shine has arrived!"

"Get lost! You're more like my son!"

The two of them were good buddies from the same dorm, studying civil engineering at a university in Xia Country.

By chance, they saw someone recommending this game in a game group.

They weren't particularly interested at first.

But when they read comments saying this game was a perfect sandbox game, with mechanics that perfectly replicated reality, allowing them to build any structure just like in reality, they were moved.

So they tried to make a reservation.

Unexpectedly, today, two cool, futuristic black Game helmets were delivered to their dorm.

They couldn't wait to enter the game.

When entering the game, they had agreed to name themselves "Luban" and "Mozi."

The two most famous god-like craftsmen in Xia Country's history.

They wanted to become the gods of construction in the game!

However, after Luban entered the game, he discovered that his companion, who should have been named "Mozi," had the ID "Father of Luban"!

This made him furious.

That scoundrel, always trying to take advantage of me!

Fortunately, he had a backup plan too.

His ID wasn't Luban either, but "Father of Mozi."

The two of them were considered to have called it a draw, merely swapping IDs. Luban became Mozi, and Mozi became Luban.

"Let's go, let's report to the Tribe Leader."

"Let's go!"

Not long after Lin Feng posted the quest, he saw two small Players carrying stone axes, trotting over happily.

"Reporting, Tribe Leader! We know how to build sturdy wooden houses!"

"That's right, we guarantee they'll block the wind and rain, and won't fall even in a level ten gale!"

The two ran up to Lin Feng, enthusiastically boasting about their abilities.

The part about not falling in a level ten gale was naturally an exaggeration, but in this valley, a level ten gale was unlikely to occur.

Besides, what would an NPC know about a level ten gale?

As long as it sounded impressive, that was enough!

Lin Feng watched with interest as the two newbies frantically boasted in front of him.

Father of Luban?

Father of Mozi?

Their names looked quite professional, but why did they have to add "Father of" at the end?

Why couldn't these Players choose normal names!

If you find this book good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.
