Chapter 7, Li Siwen visited here

The illumination mechanism of the yellow ball is somewhat similar to that of the green ball; however, perhaps due to one being an animal and the other a plant, slaughtering ten small fish accumulates nearly one-tenth. This means that by slaughtering one hundred small fish, the yellow ball can be illuminated

If the shrimp is too small, then so be it; however, the toad will not let it go. Of course, to be cautious, Li Siwen always uses a hoe for long-range attacks

Died quietly, without even a name

However, he now feels that this is unreasonable. Just think about what kind of food he is eating and the living conditions he is in. The weather is fine now, but what if it becomes the rainy season? At that time, even hiding in a wooden house would not prevent diseases from knocking on their door. Moreover, he does not believe that the lord would show them any compassion. During the rainy season, they cannot weed, but there is still plenty of work to be done, such as repairing the irrigation ditches, roads, and leveling the ground. Does he dare to resist or run away?

The supervisor Sun Tieshi has lost the will to reprimand the remaining farmers, and apart from Li Siwen, the remaining seven farmers are also not in good spirits today, their honest and simple faces filled with worry

There is no doubt that a higher physical strength will provide a very good resistance to various abnormal conditions, as well as to epidemics and labor injuries

Next, take a break, eat some provisions, replenish water, and take a nap. After these operations, the stamina value successfully recovers to 10 points, and by evening, increasing the stamina to 14 points is no longer a problem

Therefore, he must always maintain ample physical strength, as this is the best remedy and the foundation for combating illness

Thus, around eleven o'clock in the morning, he successfully accumulated about half of the green light points, while only consuming six points of stamina. This was mainly due to the increased rest time and the reduced amount of weeding, yet the acquisition of green light points remained substantial.

Li Siwen silently noted the locations where the supervisor Sun Tieshi and the lumberjacks crossed the river ditch every day, as well as the mountain pear tree and the areas where the farmers regularly went to enjoy the scenery outside the palace. He then found a curved river ditch, first using a hoe to clear the grass around it to ensure there were no dangers, and only then did he set up a stone dam trap in the stream.

Upon returning to the territory, the four wooden houses had been constructed swiftly. The primary reason for this speed was their simplicity, with a height of only two meters. Wooden stakes were casually buried, a framework was erected, and branches were first used to cover the top, followed by thatch, and finally a layer of mud was applied. There was only one entrance, and there were no doors or windows.

Thus, he timed himself, and approximately one hour later, he immediately restored the scene, cleared away the traces, and at the same time deliberately left a pile of "evidence" at the site, so that in case the matter was exposed, he would have ample reasons to defend himself

After redefining the red zone, yellow zone, and green zone, Li Siwen also changed his objectives. Just yesterday, he was contemplating seizing two vitality points in a single day, but it now seems unfeasible. The stamina in the red zone must not be easily depleted, unless faced with a life-threatening situation

In fact, the lord may have already realized this, so when the supervisor Sun Tieshi reappeared around 10:00 AM, he announced that there would be a two-hour break at noon, but only during these hottest days.

The lord's reaction was indeed very swift, so for today's dinner, everyone, and I mean everyone, is entitled to an extra bowl of meatless broth.

Therefore, gaining a little vitality each day is just right, and it also provides an opportunity to go to the riverbank to hunt small fish for leveling up. He is also very curious about what can be extracted once the yellow orb is fully charged

A stamina value above 11, until full stamina is reached, constitutes the safest green zone. During this phase, one is mentally invigorated and physically ample, representing the peak state. As long as stamina consumption does not fall into the yellow zone, recovery can occur at a rate of two hundred percent.

Everything else remains the same

However, even the allocation of housing cannot significantly boost morale, as both the farmers and the lumberjacks have been extremely fatigued these past few days. Furthermore, with the recent death of one individual and two farmers succumbing to heatstroke and falling unconscious, a sense of worry and panic is spreading.

This thing is not technically difficult; it merely reduces the difficulty of fishing by altering the flow of water, something Li Siwen had grown tired of when he was still a country bumpkin.

Upon hearing this temporary order, Li Siwen immediately thought of the small fish in the ditch, this is a good opportunity

At the southwestern end of this hill, there lies a river valley, yet the source of the stream within it is located in the northeastern direction, flowing southwest all the way until it ultimately merges with the great river to the west

Even so, it is still much better than a thatched cottage, as it will at least not be so damp

Thus, their weeding speed has coincidentally slowed down to about sixty percent of what it usually is, which is a good thing. After all, the weather is excessively hot, and their physical strength is insufficient. If they were to continue weeding with full effort, heatstroke would be inevitable

In a short period, he reaped considerable rewards, and he was exhilarated by his kills—yet that was impossible. On average, after slaying a small fish or a frog, he would immediately dart nearby to observe the "enemy situation," with a level of tension comparable to that of espionage.

The accumulated vitality value was ultimately added to the stamina attribute, resulting in a total of 13 points

Having taken the provisions, filled the container with cool boiled water, and shouldered the hoe, a new day has begun

However, on the way to the wheat field, Li Siwen decided to revise the safety regulations

It was rare; this night was very peaceful, with no unexpected events occurring. After dawn, Li Siwen woke up feeling invigorated, his stamina fully restored at 13. After performing a few subtle and discreet stretching exercises, his gaze became fixed. At the edge of the territory lay two corpses side by side; the two farmers who had suffered from heatstroke ultimately succumbed to death.

Overall, this area is quite flat, with only a low hill running through the middle. The northern side of the hill provides a direct view of the territory, which consists of a total of eight fields of wheat.

According to the population, five lumberjacks are allocated one room, four hunters are allocated one room, and ten farmers are allocated the last two rooms

In the evening, Li Siwen's progress in weeding had surpassed that of all the other farmers, and he was still the most energetic among them

Previously, he classified below 2 points of stamina as the red zone, 3 to 5 points of stamina as the yellow zone, and above 6 points of stamina as the green zone

Crossing this ditch and continuing south for approximately two to three miles, one will find a vast expanse of woods, which marks the edge of the forest to the south

Glancing at the other farmers who were taking a moment to rest, Li Siwen picked up a hoe and strolled leisurely around the wheat field. Today was a rare opportunity to have some free time, and it was a chance to familiarize himself with the terrain near the wheat field.

The stream naturally contains not only fish, but also shrimp and frogs

Li Siwen thought this, and after filling his belly, he quickly fell asleep in the new wooden house. Restoring his strength was always the top priority.

If I were him, at this moment, I should prioritize recruiting a hero unit with medical skills, rather than a brute like Supervisor Sun Tieshi. Of course, he might be regretting this decision right now, or he may still be stubbornly clinging to his beliefs, or perhaps he truly has no way to recruit with purpose and selectivity

A physical strength value below 5 can be designated as the most dangerous red zone, as this indicates that one is approaching the limits of human overexertion, which will directly weaken the intensity of the body's resistance to diseases by several percentage points

I still have high expectations.

The period from 6 o'clock to 10 o'clock can be designated as the yellow zone for physical strength. When physical strength is consumed to this extent, one will only feel slightly tired, but the muscles have already been activated, making this actually the stage of highest work efficiency and the most effective stage for exercising the body

However, plans are merely plans; Li Siwen would absolutely not allow himself to rush about in a fluster. It is essential to formulate various action plans, guard against all possible emergencies, and meticulously execute the allocation of physical strength, the progress of weeding, and so forth.

There are four fields of wheat on the southern side of the hill, but the height difference is not significant; one can easily cross over the hill after walking just a few steps

Did not see the lord, only the foreman Sun Tieshi with a stern face, directing two militiamen to pile the corpses onto the firewood and set them ablaze.
