As the first rays of morning sunlight shone on the extremely simple shelter, Meng Yanyi finally finished her cultivation.
She stretched, her perfect figure showing off in the sunlight.
"It feels so good!" Meng Yanyi exclaimed as she felt her body brimming with unprecedented power.
She stood up, swung her fists a few times, and surprisingly, her punches made a whooshing sound.
The fact that she could generate such force with her punches shows that Meng Yanyi's strength at this moment has probably reached or is very close to the Limit of an ordinary person.
However, Meng Yanyi was unaware of this yet. She straightened her clothes and walked out of the shelter.
When Meng Yanyi saw the situation outside the shelter, she was completely dumbfounded.
Before me lay a large pile of logs of varying thicknesses, numbering in the dozens.
Beside it, there was a water pit that had been dug out at some unknown time. It was now filled with water, and what's more, the water was very clear.
Beside the puddle, there was a makeshift wooden frame with more than a dozen Big Fish on it.
"My god, did Ling Yi not sleep all night? That's amazing!"
Just then, a rhythmic rustling sound came from afar.
Meng Yanyi looked in the direction of the sound and saw Ling Yi carrying a large bundle of wood, Youyou walking over.
Because some branches had not been removed from the wood, it made a rhythmic rustling sound as Ling Yi walked on it.
"Is this Superman?" Meng Yanyi was dumbfounded again.
This huge bundle of wood looks incredibly heavy; it's definitely not something an ordinary person could do.
Ling Yi had already approached and, with a little force, threw the large bundle of wood—more than a dozen logs—to the ground.
"You're awake!" Ling Yi said with Meng Yanyi.
"When did you get up? Why didn't you call me? We're partners." Meng Yanyi said, feigning displeasure.
"It's best not to be interrupted during your first practice of this Breathing Technique. If you have good aptitude, you can directly progress to the second level."
"Huh? What's the second realm?"
"The second stage is when you make Breathing Technique instinctive. Try it and see if you can use Breathing Technique freely."
Why did Ling Yi say that? Because in one night, Meng Yanyi brought Ling Yi 170 points of Diligence Points, which means that Meng Yanyi's Breathing Technique accumulated 170 experience points.
170 experience points were just enough for Meng Yanyi Breathing Technique. Once she reached level 2, the Breathing Technique could be activated passively.
Sure enough, after trying it out, Meng Yanyi exclaimed in surprise, " The Breathing Technique works! Does that mean I'm a cultivation genius?"
"Can it really work?" Ling Yi asked, feigning surprise.
"Of course! Why would I lie to you? Aren't I amazing?" Meng Yanyi said with a look that said, "Praise me!"
Ling Yi gave Meng Yanyi thumbs up. "Amazing! My the Final Master once said that anyone who can reach the second realm in just one night is a peerless genius, one in ten thousand."
"One in a million" Meng Yanyi?
Hearing Ling Yi say that, Meng Yanyi became even happier, her smile revealing her white teeth.
"Let's eat first, we have a lot of work to do today." Ling Yi walked to the fish rack by the pond.
He grabbed four foot-long white fish, skewered them with a stick, and walked towards the fire to roast them.
"I'll do it, I'll do it!" Meng Yanyi immediately ran over and snatched the fish from Ling Yi's hand.
In her opinion, grilling fish should be very simple; it's just putting it on a fire to grill, what could be so difficult about that?
In the past, Ling Yi would never have given it to Meng Yanyi. Although Ling Yi and his group are not short of food now, they can't waste food.
The problem is that it got burnt, wasting time.
But now that Meng Yanyi has Team-Up Card and Sharing Diligence System, Cooking skills will be generated whenever she grills fish, so there won't be any problems.
Ling Yi sat down on a nearby Shitou and continued, "The shelter needs to be rebuilt. The current shelter is neither sturdy nor aesthetically pleasing. I plan to build a two-story wooden building."
"Will it be very troublesome?" Meng Yanyi asked.
"It's worth the trouble. This shelter is too small. With a second floor, the space will be much larger."
"I plan to partition off the first floor, including a kitchen, storage room, bathroom, and toilet."
Upon hearing Ling Yi's words, Meng Yanyi couldn't help but think of last night, and then nodded frantically.
"Yes, yes, a bathroom and toilet are a must." For a clean and tidy Xiao Xian Nü like me, not having a bathroom and toilet is like a death sentence.
Everything else is optional, but these two are essential.
"The second floor is simple; just make two bedrooms."
"Also, we need to get some wolf and sheep skins; we can't keep sleeping in the grass forever!"
"Wolf skin and sheep skin? Where can I get those?"
"There are flocks of sheep and packs of wolves in the valley below the mountain."
"Huh? A pack of wolves? Isn't that very dangerous?" Meng Yanyi surprise.
"I'm very powerful. A wolf pack is nothing; I can take them down one by one. Easy thief!"
Meng Yanyi suddenly realized that the person in front of her was someone who seemed to be a cultivator, so dealing with the wolf pack would definitely not be a problem.
"In addition, we need to make some tools, such as pots and pans, bathtubs, and water tanks. We also need to go to the seaside to make some salt."
"Mmm!" Meng Yanyi. Anyway, she didn't understand, so she would just listen to Ling Yi.
"Once our livelihood is secured, we'll explore this Ice and Fire Island. If we can find the original inhabitants of this world, that would be great. If not, then we'll have to find a way to build a boat and go out to sea."
"Furthermore, I'm going to teach you some Kung Fu Hustle. It would be such a waste to waste such a great talent for cultivation, and with Kung Fu Hustle, you'll also have some ability to protect yourself."
"Really?" Meng Yanyi surprise.
"Hmm, but let's talk about it tonight."
"But won't this upset your the Final Master? Isn't it said that teachings shouldn't be passed on lightly?"
"My the Final Master passed away a few years ago, and now I'm the only one left in my sect," Ling Yi said, making things up.
Sorry!
"It's alright. My sect isn't one that keeps its techniques to itself. It's just a pity that our sect's martial Kung Fu Hustle place too much emphasis on aptitude. If you don't have enough aptitude, practicing our sect's techniques will be a waste of time."
"Now that I've started practicing your sect's Kung Fu Hustle, are we considered fellow disciples?"
"If you're willing, you'll be my junior sister from now on."
"Then I'll call you senior brother from now on. Senior brother, please take Duoduo care of me in the future."
"Junior sister, please Duoduo care of me in the future." Ling Yi clasped his hands in a Fist Dao to Meng Yanyi.
The two then looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh.
At this moment, the aroma of grilled fish began to fill the air, Meng Yanyi moment, staring at the grilled fish with a strange expression.
Ling Yi glanced at his system interface; his Diligence Points had increased by another 50.
It was immediately clear that Meng Yanyi had already mastered level 1 Cooking skills.
Among all the skills, Cooking is arguably the easiest to upgrade, especially the first two levels, where you can easily cook one or two meals.
At this moment, Meng Yanyi must have had more memories of Cooking techniques in her mind, which is why she was in a daze.
This is a capability of the system; the others are easy to explain, but this one is truly inexplicable.
Therefore, Ling Yi decided to play dumb.
However, Meng Yanyi didn't ask any further questions about it, whether she didn't care or kept it as her little secret is unknown.
After finishing their meal, the two got to work.
Ling Yi first demolished the original shelter, then began leveling the ground, laying the foundation, and Digging.
The tools they used were still Shitou of various shapes; they had no choice, as they didn't have any readily available tools.
They could only use barely usable Shitou as tools.
But if you don't have the right tools, you have to make up for it with sheer force. MU Online happen with Dali, and the speed wasn't slow at all.
As Ling Yi busied himself, lines of text kept floating before his eyes.
Soon, his Construction Skill leveled up to level 1, and Ling Yi's mind was immediately filled with information about construction.
This gave Ling Yi even more confidence in building the two-story wooden house.
At first glance, a rough design drawing already comes to mind; the next step is to bring the design to life.
Compared to yesterday, Meng Yanyi was clearly able to help a lot today, at least in terms of strength.
Now they can carry dozens of kilograms of wood around.
The Xiao Xian Nü transformed into a powerful young woman, and the key point is that Meng Yanyi got more and more into it, becoming more and more energetic as she worked.
By noon, Ling Yi's Diligence Points had exceeded 1,000.
His Construction Skill reached level 3, and Meng Yanyi also increased Ling Yi's Diligence Points quite a bit. It's just unknown what skill she activated this time.
However, it's likely a skill related to construction.
After all, both of them were busy building the shelter.
And indeed, by the afternoon, the two were working together even more seamlessly.
Meng Yanyi's strength also increases significantly as her skill level increases.
With the added passive boost from the Breathing Technique, Ling Yi estimated that at least two of Meng Yanyi's three attributes exceeded 10 points.
However, Ling Yi also discovered a problem: when the Breathing Technique is used passively, it does not increase Diligence Points or experience points.
Clearly, to improve one's Breathing Technique level, one must actively practice it.
It seems I'll have to set aside some time each day to specifically practice Breathing Technique from now on.
By the time the sun was about to set, the basic framework of the two-story wooden building was complete.
Looking at the neat and orderly two-story wooden building standing close to the cliff face, both Ling Yi and Meng Yanyi felt a great sense of accomplishment.
Keep in mind that they built this without any tools, relying entirely on MU Online Dali.
This little two-story building would be even more perfect if we had the right tools.
"We're amazing!" Meng Yanyi said boastfully.
"I'll go down the mountain and get some wolf and sheep skins. I'll tan them tonight so we'll have blankets and quilts tomorrow," Ling Yi said.
"I'll go with you!"
Ling Yi shook his head. "I can go by myself. Going up and down the mountain is too much trouble."
"Then be careful, senior brother. I'll grill some fish and wait for you to come back so we can eat together."
"Okay, junior sister, haha!"
Ling Yi checked his system as he walked down the mountain.
