Wang Yu wanted to eat grilled fish, so he took out the 320g Pincer Fish he had shot with his crossbow.

He spread out his right hand, and a dice the size of an egg appeared in his hand. The pips on each face of the dice had all turned golden.

"Increase the quantity of this portion of Pincer Fish Meat."

Then Wang Yu felt the Pincer Fish Meat in his hand being locked on. He immediately threw the dice in his right hand.

The dice instantly floated and began to spin.

After a moment, the dice stopped.

Three pips.

Wang Yu had rolled a three.

At this moment, three Light Balls appeared above the dice, which were phantoms of three portions of Pincer Fish Meat.

At Wang Yu's thought, three portions of Pincer Fish Meat appeared in his hand. He now had a total of four portions of Pincer Fish Meat.

Wang Yu did not put the four portions of Pincer Fish Meat into his [Backpack]. Instead, he took everything out of his [Backpack] and placed it inside the Shelter.

Then Wang Yu left the Shelter and went to the creek. He needed to pick up stones, specifically stones about twenty to thirty centimeters in size.

There were many stones of this size by the creek.

By the creek, Wang Yu picked up stones. As soon as he willed it, the stones he picked up appeared in his [Backpack].

Wang Yu tested it. He found that stones he couldn't lift could not be put into his [Backpack].

Soon, Wang Yu had collected enough stones to fill one cubic meter of his [Backpack].

Wang Yu returned to the Shelter and took out the stones from his [Backpack] one by one.

In front of Wang Yu, there was a large frame on the Light Screen.

He could clearly see each stone in the large frame. Whichever stone Wang Yu thought of, that stone would appear in his hand, and then he could place the stone on the ground.

After taking out a [Backpack] full of stones, Wang Yu left the Shelter again.

He needed to dig up some Soil. Outside the Shelter, Soil was everywhere. Wang Yu found a patch of relatively moist Soil, which dug up as Mud.

Wang Yu still used the tin buckets to carry the Mud. After filling four tin buckets, Wang Yu returned to the Shelter.

The materials were ready.

He was going to build a Fireplace inside the Shelter.

For the location of the Fireplace, Wang Yu chose a corner inside, to the left, after going down the stairs, where two giant stones connected.

The materials for building the fireplace were only stones about twenty to forty centimeters in size and mud.

Wang Yu first laid down stones, one meter long and one meter wide, on the ground where the two giant stones connected, leaning against the stone walls on both sides.

These stones served as a fireproof layer.

Then, mud was spread on top of the stones and smoothed with an entrenching tool, thus completing the foundation of the fireplace.

On the foundation, still leaning against the stone walls on both sides, a circle with an inner diameter of forty centimeters was first formed with stones.

Then, a layer of mud was applied over the stones.

After applying the mud, another circle of stones was added, but not completely enclosing it. A twenty-five centimeter opening was left at the front to serve as the fireplace opening.

Firewood would be added through this opening in the future.

Then, a layer of mud was applied over the stones, and the top of the fireplace was sealed with stones.

Of course, a chimney opening had to be left on top of the fireplace, where the two giant stones connected.

Next was the construction of the fireplace chimney.

Where the two giant stones connected formed a right angle. The gap between the two giant stones was already filled with moss. Wang Yu then plastered a thick layer of mud into the connecting crevice and placed twenty-centimeter stones against the right-angle connection.

This formed a triangular passage between the right angle of the giant stone connection and the stones.

Wang Yu continued to add stones and mud, and the passage grew taller.

At a height of two meters, Wang Yu had not blocked the moss earlier, intentionally leaving a twenty-centimeter gap.

This gap was a reserved smoke exhaust channel.

Wang Yu continued to add stones upwards. When the passage was over 2.2 meters high, he blocked the top of the passage with stones and plastered it with mud, thus completing the fireplace chimney.

The smoke from the burning fireplace could be exhausted outside the shelter through the triangular passage at a height of two meters.

A fireplace about one meter high and seventy to eighty centimeters wide was thus completed.

This could be considered a very large fireplace.

Wang Yu started a fire in the fireplace.

He then inspected the fireplace chimney.

The chimney Wang Yu designed for this shelter was very important. If there were any problems with smoke exhaust, the entire shelter would be filled with dense smoke, making it completely uninhabitable.

Seeing that the fireplace chimney was working well, Wang Yu finally felt relieved.

Then Wang Yu climbed onto the giant stones.

On top of the giant stone, there were originally 72 large wooden planks. After using 27 planks to pave the floor, there were 45 large wooden planks and 4 large logs remaining.

First, Wang Yu placed two large logs from the top of the giant stone into the stone wall. Then, he placed large wooden planks down one by one, a total of 23 large wooden planks.

Wang Yu then descended into the stone wall using the wooden ladder.

Inside the stone wall, there were already two vertical wooden pillars.

Wang Yu had just placed down two large logs. He laid one of the large logs down, leaning it against the vertical wooden pillars, and then slowly adjusted it so that the entire large log lay flat on the wooden pillars.

Since the large log was 5.45 meters long, slightly longer than the stone walls on both sides, Wang Yu used the large wooden mallet to smash down the raised end of the large log until it lay horizontally on the wooden pillars.

After the first large log was placed securely on the wooden pillars, it was very firmly fixed.

Subsequently, Wang Yu placed the other large log on the other wooden pillar using the same method.

Thus, two beams were added inside the shelter.

Next, Wang Yu would lay large wooden planks on top of the beams.

Laying large wooden planks on the beams was exactly the same as laying them on the ground.

The wooden planks were laid one by one on the beams, and they still had to be tightly secured between the two giant stones.

The wooden planks above had to be even more tightly secured. If they loosened and fell, it would be disastrous.

After all 23 large wooden planks were laid, the top of the shelter had a layer of wooden planks, 4.6 meters long.

Of course, Wang Yu left an opening of over 80 centimeters at the staircase.

This opening was left very large for Wang Yu's convenience in going up and down.

After completing all this, the shelter now had a first floor and a second floor.

The indoor height of the first floor was 2.8 meters, which was similar to the indoor height of ordinary residential areas.

This height was considered comfortable to live in.

Wang Yu went up to the second floor.

He jumped on the second floor, and the wooden planks remained completely still. The ten-centimeter thick cedar wood was indeed sturdy.

The top of the giant stone was 5.4 meters high, which was 2.5 meters higher than the second floor. The second floor had a height of 2.5 meters.

This height was also very good.

The second floor could become an independent room, greatly expanding Wang Yu's shelter.

Afterward, Wang Yu went up to the top of the giant stone.

At this time, there were still 22 large wooden planks and two large logs on top of the giant stone.

Outside the shelter, there were 16 large wooden planks and one large log.
