Chapter 5, The Joy of Harvest

The third pot was not cooked properly, resulting in a slight burn.

However, at present, Liu Yi can only temporarily abandon this plan and focus on developing his strong talents. After all, being born in chaotic times, although he is not prepared to go into battle, he at least needs to have the endurance to escape. Moreover, whether it is carpentry or other tasks, a great deal of strength is often required.

The main entrance that meets quality standards: Attracting wealth + 7

At the moment the Pixiu landed, the system that had been dormant in Liu Yi's mind for a month finally resurfaced, and a series of prompt sounds left Liu Yi somewhat bewildered

The second pot ... ... is a bit too salty, it won't do, pour it out!

The host gains woodworking experience + 12306, gains carving experience + 2309, gains building experience + 5800, gains masonry experience + 2019, gains dyeing experience + 1250, gains talent points + 13

Liu Yi held a hammer in his hand, gazing at the newly renovated home before him, a surge of indescribable accomplishment welled up in his heart. Although it still appeared somewhat shabby and had a few odd attributes mixed in, the entire structure was almost entirely built by his own hands, a sense of achievement and satisfaction that others found hard to comprehend

"Save it for tomorrow." Liu Yi patted Wangcai's head and sighed, feeling somewhat regretful. Food was already scarce, and now, he had fed his own six meals' worth of rations to the dog.

After having eaten and drunk to his satisfaction, Liu Yi returned to his room feeling quite content. Without a bed, he simply threw down a straw mat and fell into a deep sleep

Skills: Carpentry Level 4 (12306 / 100000), Masonry Level 3 (926 / 10000), Sculpting Level 3 (1269 / 10000), Forging Level 1 (88 / 100), Architecture Level 3 (4690 / 10000), Dyeing Level 3 (147 / 10000)

This talent is quite commendable

A beautifully crafted pavilion: refreshing and uplifting + 11

It is done

There were no remarkable changes, but the body began to feel a bit warm. Liu Yi, who had previously experienced a point in talent, understood that the enhancement of talent and the corresponding changes in the body occur through a process. It is not the case that one immediately becomes as strong as an ox or robust after simply allocating points to talent. However, allocating points all at once to level 5 resulted in a noticeably stronger bodily reaction compared to the gradual increase of the skill talent from level 1.

Remaining talent points: 13

Thirteen talent points are just enough to raise the strength to level five

"So fragrant!" Liu Yi comforted the somewhat stuffed Wang Cai, as he began to savor the corn porridge he had made at great expense.

A well-constructed restroom: Pleasant aroma + 4, Foreign object removal + 2

Liu Yi, satisfied, blew off the wood shavings from the Pixiu, climbed the ladder, and placed the Pixiu above the main entrance

Only the final item for the house's protection is left. In Liu Yi's hands, the carving knife swiftly flips under a pair of skillful hands, and amidst the flying wood shavings, the image of a Pixiu gradually becomes clear

Host: Liu Yi

Tomorrow, preparations will begin to add furniture to the home. Liu Yi, for the time being, cannot afford to feel distressed. This time, the construction of the house has yielded abundant rewards. Just looking at the series of upgraded skills he has acquired, Liu Yi can completely dispel the gloom that had previously resulted from wasting food.

A well-crafted Pi Xiu for home protection: warding off evil and attracting wealth + 2

Congratulations to the host for unlocking a new talent: Stamina Level 1 (0/1). An excellent craftsman must possess sufficient physical strength; otherwise, it is easy to suffer a sudden death during the course of work.

Congratulations to the host for successfully establishing a complete architectural complex, with the exclusive attributes of the complex automatically generated, resulting in the attribute: Indestructible + 10

At this moment, Liu Yi could not afford to appreciate his culinary skills; with a pained expression, he hurriedly collected the food that had been spilled on the ground using a dustpan, and then poured it into the dog bowl

A well-constructed wall: Reflecting on one's mistakes + 6

Liu Yi has experienced for the first time the peculiar nature of the attributes bestowed by the system. If it were his usual self, he would never be so particular. However, today in this kitchen, it feels as if he is under a spell, compelled to achieve the best possible outcome

Apart from forging, all other skills have reached level 3. If given the opportunity to rebuild his house, Liu Yi is confident that he could make his courtyard even more perfect. However, at this moment, he cannot do so. In the past month, the money he earned from Zhuge Liang has almost been spent. If he does not start a new venture soon, he is afraid he will have to face hunger.

Silently, he set up the clay pot, ignited the fire, and began to cook. Liu Yi found his mind becoming exceptionally focused. The first pot... the taste was somewhat bland, as he had added too little salt, which he promptly discarded. Normally, he would have settled for it, but this time, he did not know what had come over him and simply threw away the unsatisfactory meal. This, however, caused Wang Cai, who was eagerly watching Liu Yi with bright eyes, to joyfully rush over. As a pet, it had been trained by Liu Yi not to be picky; as long as it could eat, that was sufficient.

It is uncertain whether the attributes of the dog house have been triggered, but this dog has not only grown faster than an ordinary local dog this month, but it also exhibits more intelligence than usual. Despite having received little training, the little fellow will certainly not repeat the actions that Liu Yi had previously stopped. The same applies to its eating habits; if it were an ordinary local dog, it would likely have already overeaten by now, yet Wangcai has only eaten slightly more than usual.

However, what surprised Liu Yi the most was the sudden surge in the number of talent points required after reaching level 5. He had originally planned to invest all the talent points he gained this time into the skill of Craftsmanship. Although this talent made his hands appear somewhat delicate, its effectiveness was truly remarkable. With level 5 Craftsmanship, he was able to create items that exceeded his skill level. During the house-building process, the ability to produce so many exquisite works was largely due to these skilled hands.

Indeed, it is much better than what I made before, whether in terms of cooking time or the control of heat. Not to say it compares to that of a true chef, but it is certainly ten times more delicious than the porridge I previously cooked. After so many days of crossing over, I finally had a proper meal. Unfortunately, the system did not include culinary skills in the list of abilities; otherwise, I would not have to focus on this aspect when it comes to satisfying my cravings, allowing for a broader range of choices.

Liu Yi glanced at his slender palm; this talent indeed made him appear more masculine. Looking at the sky, it was gradually darkening, making it impossible to work on furniture. It was better to fill his stomach first and then see what the pursuit of perfection was all about. Literally speaking, it was easy to understand, but the effect would need to be tested before any conclusions could be drawn.

A well-constructed guesthouse: Happy and carefree, plus 9

The corn in the rice jar rapidly decreased due to Liu Yi's wasteful behavior. It was not until Liu Yi managed to bring out the seventh pot that he was barely satisfied, only to see a ground covered with discarded corn rice, along with Wang Cai lying beside it, looking somewhat stuffed from eating.
