Chapter 453: Changes
At the center of a cabin freshly built from large spruce logs, a well-fed hearth blazed, giving off crisp crackles from time to time.
Two opened cans sat over the hearth, heating up.
Before long, the aroma carried by the rising steam made Shiqi swallow hungrily.
Still, our sheriff knew exactly what he ought to do right now.
He skewered two long loaves harder than wooden clubs on daggers and held them over the fire to warm.
"2567, I never knew you could build a house!"
Shiqi turned the bread as he looked at Qin Ran.
Even now, he remembered how Qin Ran had used that terrifying greatsword to fell a small patch of large spruce trees, stripped away the excess branches, and built the cabin sheltering them from the wind and keeping them warm.
What stuck with Shiqi most was that Qin Ran had never used a single tool besides that greatsword.
Yet the cabin was unexpectedly sturdy.
Just listen to the cold wind howling outside.
Anything that wasn't sturdy enough would only end up destroyed.
"I can't build houses, but I can stack blocks-if you don't care about appearances or anything like that, most people could build a temporary little shelter like this."
That was Qin Ran's answer.
"Most people?"
"Most people can't swing [Words of Arrogance] like you!"
Shiqi raised an eyebrow.
He had experienced the weight of [Words of Arrogance] himself. Even straining with both hands, he hadn't managed to budge the two-handed greatsword an inch.
And Qin Ran?
He wielded it effortlessly with one hand, as though it were an extension of his own arm.
That gave Shiqi an even clearer understanding of the gap between himself and Qin Ran.
Naturally, it left Shiqi, who considered himself a real man, feeling dejected.
