Chapter 73

For Lin Yifan, this Mountain Bike is truly a pleasant surprise!

Given his current physical condition, the chance of encountering danger while out scavenging supplies is actually not high.

Even if he occasionally runs into a few wild beasts or birds of prey, with the Wind-Chasing Cloud-Breaking Bow in hand, he can almost kill anyone he meets.

Unless he encounters fierce beasts like tigers or lions, even a crocodile can be killed with a bit of trickery.

But what troubles him most now is actually traveling!

Relying on just two legs, how fast can he really get?

Besides, although his physical condition is much better than before, he's still not a god.

Just like tonight, he managed to cut down so many trees in such a short time, which was only possible by risking his life.

If it weren't for being chased by the Maggot Human Bone from behind, forcing him to fight for his life, and finally obtaining a blue Treasure Chest, he would have probably gone back to his room to sleep already.

How could he possibly still be awake at 12 o'clock!

Anyway, do what you can and leave the rest to fate; he's done what he should, and the rest isn't his concern.

Traveling likewise consumes Physical Stamina, and moreover, traveling requires a lot of time.

For example, that Water Pool—getting from the Shelter there takes an hour and a half; he had previously fantasized that if he had a means of transport, like a Mountain Motorcycle, it would be great.

Although this Mountain Bike isn't as good as a Mountain Motorcycle, having it is still better than nothing!

Lin Yifan happily played with the Mountain Bike for a bit, then turned his attention to the last item.

It was a Light Orb!

No, it wasn't a Light Orb at first; it started as a scroll, and after being upgraded, it became a Light Orb.

What exactly is the Eye of Appraisal?

Lin Yifan didn't know, but he vaguely felt that this thing was definitely an extraordinary good thing.

He just didn't know how to use it.

He carefully reached out and touched the light with his fingertip, and then a string of information appeared before his eyes.

【Eye of Appraisal】

【Skill-type Special Item, can fuse with the eyes.】

【Fuse?】

"It's actually a skill-type special item?"

Lin Yifan raised his eyebrows, but without hesitation, he directly chose to fuse.

"Whoosh!"

At the moment he made his choice, the Light Orb instantly flew toward him, then split into a slightly smaller Light Orb before his eyes and burrowed into his eyes.

As the Light Orb entered his eyes, Lin Yifan instantly felt a cool sensation in both eyes, not unpleasant, like applying two drops of eye medicine.

After a moment, the cool feeling faded; he opened his eyes, but felt nothing much.

If anything, his vision became a bit clearer; he originally had mild myopia, around a hundred degrees or so.

But because he disliked wearing glasses and it didn't really affect his life, he never got glasses.

Still, myopia is myopia, so it still had some effect.

But now, he feels his eyes are extremely clear; likely his myopia has been cured.

"Just cure one nearsighted eye?"

Lin Yifan frowned, feeling slightly disappointed in his heart, although curing nearsightedness is also good.

But no matter how you say it, this came from the blue Treasure Chest and was also an upgraded item.

And that's it?

Wait, people said it's the Eye of Appraisal, so it must be related to appraisal.

Lin Yifan suddenly recalled something: earlier, Chen Yunuo wanted to exchange the Strong Mosquito Repellent from him, and gave him a Special Blueprint.

And the note attached to this blueprint said that it required an appraiser or an Appraisal Card to be identified.

Now that he has obtained the Eye of Appraisal, could he also identify it?

Thinking this, Lin Yifan quickly took out that Special Blueprint.

Sure enough, as soon as the blueprint appeared before his eyes, the textual explanation changed.

【Special Blueprint】 (Requires an appraiser or an Appraisal Card to identify, in order to know the item information)

Item Grade: Currently unknown (at least Excellent or above)

【Identify?】

Sure enough, it can be identified.

Lin Yifan felt a surge of joy and immediately said with his thoughts:

"Identify!"

As his thought settled, he noticed his eyes again emitted a slight coolness.

Along with the surge of coolness, the blueprint before his eyes also changed.

Originally, the blueprint had nothing on it, just a dull gray with a few special patterns.

One could vaguely sense some mystery, but from the patterns alone, it was impossible to tell what the blueprint was.

But now, the dull gray blueprint gradually shed its grayness, revealing its original appearance.

And the information changed as well.

【Basic Wall Construction Blueprint】

Grade: Excellent

Materials required per square:

Granite 30/0

Lime 40/0

Glutinous rice 10kg/0

(Within the walls, all count as shelter!)

Lin Yifan saw the last eight characters, his eyes lit up like a light bulb.

Within the walls, settle shelter!

That basically means, as long as he can build a sufficiently wide wall and then enclose an area, the whole area counts as a shelter!

He always felt that at night he could only stay inside the shelter; even to eat his fill and go out for a walk, he needed to bring 【Radiant Stone】 and 【Pure Spirit Flower】, and even then he might still encounter danger.

This kind of life is really oppressive.

Moreover, whether it's the shelter or the Ring Space, the internal space is limited.

When there's too much supplies, there's simply no room to put them.

And supplies like stone and timber, although they can be placed outside the shelter, at night it's also troublesome to go out and fetch them.

But if he could use walls to enclose a courtyard, these problems would disappear.

And most importantly, he can grow vegetables in the courtyard outside the shelter!

Exactly, it's about growing vegetables!

Lin Yifan had previously observed the land here; although not very fertile, it's not very barren either.

If he tends it well and has seeds, growing vegetables himself is completely fine.

However, daytime is really too short; gathering supplies and treasure chests already takes up all time, leaving no spare moment to till the soil and plant vegetables.

But nighttime is plentiful; yet he can't go out, so each day he can only idle inside the shelter, picking his feet.

Once the wall is built, he can plant vegetables in the courtyard at night, which is wonderfully comfortable.

And as long as he builds enough wall, the courtyard can keep expanding; someday building a manor, even a city, is not without hope.

Lin Yifan, the more he thought, the more excited he became, the more he thought, the more stirred he became.

However, when he saw those several materials, he couldn't help but feel a headache.

Granite belongs to special stone; so far, not a single piece has appeared on the market; lime is the same.

But these two are ultimately natural materials; they will eventually appear sooner or later.

But glutinous rice is different!

This stuff is food; even if occasionally opening a box yields a bit, at most it's one or two catties.

But to build a wall, just one square meter needs 10 kilograms of glutinous rice, i. e., twenty catties!

Lin Yifan now doesn't even want to think about why building a wall requires glutinous rice.

He just wants to know where he can get that much glutinous rice!
