It was a little past three in the afternoon when the dice in Wang Yu's right hand could be used again.

In the rocky area behind the shelter, there were many big stones.

Wang Yu found a big stone, over three meters high and more than five meters long. The stone was irregularly shaped but large enough. Wang Yu wanted to use the dice to increase the number of these big stones.

He rolled the dice.

Three.

Wang Yu rolled a three.

The number of big stones increased by three.

Wang Yu went into the forest area. Here were the traces of his fire starting and the stumps of seven cut big trees.

He went to the stumps of the cut big trees and placed the three big stones, covering the stumps completely.

Then, he used leaves to camouflage the traces of the big stones covering the stumps.

The big stones were covered in moss. Placed here, they looked completely natural, as if they had always been there, especially in the faint light.

Of the seven stumps of cut big trees, Wang Yu had covered three. He decided to cover the remaining four stumps with big stones later that night.

After placing the three big stones to cover the stumps, Wang Yu found that the path to the shelter was blocked. From the creek to the shelter, this forest area was the only way. Now, with three big stones, the path was blocked.

This gave Wang Yu a flash of inspiration. If he placed more big stones around here, wouldn't that form a rocky isolation belt?

If other players passed by, they definitely wouldn't venture deep into the rocky area, and thus his shelter wouldn't be discovered.

In this way, the rocky area would hide the traces of his activity while also providing a protective barrier for his shelter.

He only needed to leave a small path through the rocky area for entering and exiting the shelter, and then his shelter would be safe.

Other players would not dare to dart around in the rocky area. Even if they entered, they wouldn't be able to find the path to his shelter.

This was truly a brilliant idea.

After covering the stumps with big stones, Wang Yu also used moss and leaves to camouflage the place where he had cut trees and started a fire, hiding the traces of fire starting.

He checked the time. It was only a little past three in the afternoon. Wang Yu needed to go chop wood.

Now he had to chop wood to store it. He planned to pile wood all over the second floor of the shelter.

He no longer needed dry firewood for torchlight, but he intended to store more wood as firewood. Although the newly cut big trees couldn't be used as torches, they were fine for cooking food.

Since this game was called 'Extreme Night Wilderness Survival,' the extreme night would surely be very cold in the future. Storing more wood was definitely the right move.

Wood could not only be used for cooking but also for heating and cold protection.

In the survival game, one must prepare for a rainy day.

The forest along the path from the creek to the shelter was vast. He could only cut down the big trees here because they were close and easier to transport.

However, Wang Yu couldn't just chop down any big tree. He needed to preserve the original appearance of the nearby forest and carefully select which trees to cut.

After felling these big trees, he still had to use big stones to cover the stumps of the cut trees.

This would hide the cut stumps and also create a rocky area nearby, preventing other players from going to the shelter.

Taking out his small hacksaw, Wang Yu began selecting the big trees to cut.

He wouldn't cut trees that were too thick, but rather birch trees or cedar wood that were ten to twenty centimeters thick. Trees of this thickness could be felled faster.

After selecting the big trees to cut, Wang Yu got to work.

First, he used the small hacksaw to fell the big trees, then he cut off the branches.

He cut all the branches into meter-long pieces, then bundled the branches into bundles. This way, he could load some of the branches into his [Backpack] and take them back to the shelter when transporting.

As for the tree trunks, Wang Yu used the small hacksaw to saw them into meter-long logs. From one big tree, Wang Yu could saw five to six meter-long large logs.

Wang Yu could also fill his [Backpack] with the meter-long large logs and take them back to the shelter when transporting.

With the [Backpack] available, his wood transport efficiency was much higher.

After one big tree was felled, Wang Yu could transport all of it back to the shelter in two or three trips.

He carried some, and the [Backpack] carried some.

From past three PM until past eight PM, Wang Yu finally stopped cutting trees.

He had cut a total of 5 big trees.

Cutting trees didn't take much time; what took time was sawing the branches and trunks into meter-long pieces and transporting them back to the shelter.

After cutting 5 big trees, the second floor of the shelter was neatly piled with lots of firewood.

After finishing his work, it was time for dinner.

Wang Yu took out 213g of pincer fish meat and started a fire in the fireplace to grill the fish.

Dinner tonight was grilled fish.

Just then, a message arrived.

Wang Yu opened the message and saw it was from Zhang Dahai.

[Zhang Dahai: Brother, are you there?]

[Wang Yu: I'm here.]

[Zhang Dahai: I caught a fish. You like eating fish, so I'll trade it with you.]

[Wang Yu: Okay.]

Afterward, Wang Yu received a trade request.

Wang Yu opened it and saw:

[Player Zhang Dahai has initiated a trade request with you: Grass Carp 450g.]

After seeing this, Wang Yu also listed Wild Rat Meat 500g and sent a trade request to the other party.

The only thing he could trade now was Wild Rat Meat.

[Zhang Dahai: Brother, you listed 500g of meat, which is too much. My fish meat is only 450g.]

[Wang Yu: It's fine. Let's make it a round number. I like eating fish, so consider it me taking advantage of you.]

[Zhang Dahai: Brother, you are a particular person. Then I won't be polite anymore.]

[Wang Yu: If I catch fish in the future, we can exchange again.]

[Zhang Dahai: Okay.]

After clicking confirm, Wang Yu had 450g of fish meat in his hand.

Giving Zhang Dahai a little more meat wasn't a big deal. He had 18 Jin of Wild Rat Meat, and after giving away one Jin, he still had 17 Jin left.

Giving Zhang Dahai a little sweetness would make him more proactive in exchanging fish meat with him in the future.

He had used his dice to increase the quantity of this 450g of fish meat, so he would get a few more Jin of fish meat. He was profiting either way.

Last time, Zhang Dahai exchanged a Grass Carp 580g with him, and now he had two Grass Carp.

It seemed like building a good relationship with Zhang Dahai to exchange fish meat was a wise choice.

Putting the fish meat away, Wang Yu continued to grill fish.

After finishing the grilled fish, it was already past nine PM.

Wang Yu could use his dice again to increase the quantity of items.

He went to the Rocky Area behind the shelter.

He found a Big Stone.

The Big Stone was over seven meters long and over four meters high, with an irregular shape. Wang Yu still fancied the Big Stone because it was large.

Wang Yu used the Dice in Right Hand to increase the number of these stones.

He cast the dice.

Four Points.

Wang Yu rolled a Four Points.

Subsequently, Phantoms of Four Big Stones floated above the dice.

Coming to In Front of Stumps, Wang Yu placed the big stones on top of the four stumps respectively.
