After dividing the first floor area of the shelter, there were three large logs on top of the shelter's giant rock. Wang Yu had already figured out what to do with these large logs.

Wang Yu climbed onto the giant rock.

He lit the second oil lamp; the first oil lamp had run out of kerosene.

With light, Wang Yu began to process the three large logs.

The large logs were 5.45 meters long. Wang Yu sawed one large log into eleven sections, each about fifty centimeters long.

Then, on the other two large logs, he used the small hacksaw to saw a ten centimeter long, five centimeter deep notch.

Each large log had eleven notches sawed into it.

Then, he sawed ten centimeter long, five centimeter deep notches into both ends of the eleven fifty-centimeter long sections of wood.

After sawing the eleven sections of wood, Wang Yu placed the two large logs parallel to each other and then inserted the ends of the eleven sections of wood into the notches on both sides.

Subsequently, Wang Yu used the large wooden mallet to strike the eleven sections of wood, ensuring they were tightly secured in the notches.

In this way, Wang Yu made a wooden ladder.

This ladder was much larger than the previous one, but thanks to the small hacksaw, it took much less time.

The small hacksaw was several times faster at cutting notches in wood than the entrenching tool.

After making a large wooden ladder, Wang Yu pulled the previous small wooden ladder up to the giant rock, and then lowered the large wooden ladder into the shelter through the giant rock notch.

The giant rock notch was 4.1 meters high, and this large wooden ladder was 5.45 meters long. Lowering it was very smooth.

Wang Yu carried the oil lamp and descended to the first floor of the shelter using the large wooden ladder, which was much easier than the small wooden ladder.

This large wooden ladder was too heavy; it would be left inside the shelter as a ladder from now on.

The small wooden ladder was only for that.

In the future, to go up and down the giant rock notch from outside the shelter, the small wooden ladder would still be needed. With two wooden ladders, entering and exiting the shelter became much more convenient.

With this, Wang Yu had used up all five bundles of lumber.

He spent a full two days 'decorating' the shelter, and the 'decoration' of the shelter had now come to a temporary end.

This shelter should be fine to live in for any length of time.

There were many small wooden planks on the ground. These small wooden planks were the leftover scraps after sawing the thirty-eight large wooden planks, and could only be used as firewood.

Wang Yu picked up two small wooden planks from the ground and put them into the fireplace. The firewood in the fireplace blazed up again.

Afterward, Wang Yu picked up all the remaining small wooden blocks from the ground and neatly stacked them inside the small compartment.

After cleaning up the ground, it was already late, and Wang Yu lay down on the wooden bed to sleep.

Another tiring day.

Now the shelter had a fireplace, and on top of it were thick wooden boards. The first floor was very warm, and Wang Yu fell asleep as soon as he lay down.

Past three o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock rang again.

Wang Yu woke up, and he could use the dice to increase the quantity of items again.

He took out the crossbow he had prepared long ago. The reason he wanted to increase the number of crossbows was that the shelter construction had come to a temporary halt, and he would be leaving the shelter to explore further away next.

He needed to find food, berries, and dry wood.

He had been active nearby recently and had lit a blazing fire pit, so naturally, no wild beasts dared to approach. If he went out to find food, the possibility of being attacked by wild beasts would greatly increase.

Wang Yu wanted to increase the crossbows to provide an extra layer of safety.

Tying the crossbows and three arrows together, Wang Yu rolled the dice.

The dice spun.

Finally, a two appeared.

Two points.

"This~"

Alright, Wang Yu could only accept it. He had rolled five points for two consecutive nights before, and he didn't expect his luck to run out on the third night.

Taking out the two newly added crossbows and six arrows, he now had a total of three crossbows and nine arrows.

Putting away the crossbows, Wang Yu went back to sleep.

Eight o'clock in the morning.

Wang Yu got up early. Today was the fourth day since entering the survival game.

After getting up, Wang Yu began to prepare breakfast.

The food he could eat included 10g water snail meat * 38, 200g rabbit meat * 1, 213g pincer fish meat * 5, and 18 jin of wild rat meat (360g * 25).

Wang Yu decided to have grilled fish for breakfast. He added firewood to the fireplace and took out the 213g of pincer fish meat to start grilling.

While grilling the fish, Wang Yu checked the messages in the [Chat Channel].

He found that many other players were still building their shelters. Building a shelter in the wild was not an easy task. It seemed he was quite fast to build a shelter in two days.

After the fish was grilled and he finished breakfast.

Wang Yu climbed up the giant rock notch using the large wooden ladder.

It was pitch black outside. He looked at the top of the shelter. The shelter was not yet roofed, which he had intentionally left that way.

He used the second floor of the shelter as a firewood room. He planned to fill the entire second floor with firewood before roofing the shelter.

Otherwise, if the shelter was roofed, there would only be a small opening formed by a small notch for entering and exiting the shelter. Such a small opening would make transporting firewood very inconvenient.

Wang Yu had already figured out how to roof the shelter.

He had found a large bluestone slab by the creek not far away. He could use his dice to increase its quantity and then cover the shelter with it to complete the roofing.

With the dice in his right hand, building the shelter was indeed much easier.

Wang Yu lowered the small wooden ladder from the giant rock and then descended along the small wooden ladder to the outside of the shelter.

Exiting the shelter, Wang Yu walked ten meters in front of a large tree, took out the three crossbows, loaded them with arrows respectively, and then put two of the loaded crossbows back into his [Backpack].

Wang Yu had one crossbow left in his hand. He raised the crossbow, aimed it at the large tree ten meters away, and pulled the trigger.

"Swoosh~"

"Bang~"

The arrow hit the large tree in front of him.

Wang Yu immediately put the crossbow back into his [Backpack], then took out a loaded crossbow and pulled the trigger. The arrow hit the tree again.

Next, Wang Yu put the crossbow back into his [Backpack] again, took out another loaded crossbow, and then pulled the trigger, hitting the tree.

In three to four seconds, Wang Yu shot three arrows.

"Not bad, not bad."

Shooting three arrows in such a short time greatly increased his combat ability.

Then, Wang Yu did not put away the crossbow. Instead, he quickly took an arrow from his backpack, pulled the crossbow string back, loaded the arrow, and then pulled the trigger, hitting the tree.

This took four to five seconds.

It seemed that loading arrows was still quite time-consuming.

Wang Yu had three crossbows. If he loaded them with arrows and put them into his [Backpack], he could shoot three arrows in three to four seconds, which was much faster than shooting one arrow, reloading, and then shooting again.

After shooting one arrow, Wang Yu did not stop. He continued to take arrows from his [Backpack], loaded them, and continued to shoot at the tree.

Wang Yu wanted to train his arrow loading speed.

He needed to at least become proficient in loading arrows and aiming at targets.

After shooting all nine arrows, Wang Yu took out the three crossbows, reloaded all the arrows, and then put two of the loaded crossbows into his [Backpack].

Wang Yu continued with another round, first shooting three arrows consecutively, and then loading arrows to shoot at the tree.

After practicing for over half an hour, Wang Yu became much more familiar with using the crossbow.
