Chapter 93: Planning the Manor

According to Lin Yifan's estimate, his method of only adding stamina, then using stamina to boost vitality, which feeds back the other three attributes, likely allows only one feedback per life stage.

So according to his guess, he needs to raise his life tier to the next stage before another feedback can occur.

So far, he has added another 15 points of stamina, meaning he now has a full 45 points of stamina, yet his life tier has still not risen to the next stage.

To say he isn't at all anxious would be false; the benefits of raising his life tier are practically addictive.

However, Lin Yifan also knows that being anxious is useless; he still hasn't figured out exactly how many attributes are needed to raise his life tier.

He can only keep adding attribute points, accumulating them bit by bit.

But no matter how you say it, the feeling of gaining a random attribute after a nap is just too comfortable!

After stretching, Lin Yifan finally got up feeling satisfied, washed up, and opened the weather forecast to check today's weather.

Current time: Survival Year May 5, 6:58 AM.

Dawn: 9 o'clock.

Dusk: 3 o'clock.

Today's weather: overcast.

Temperature: 3°C.

【Friendly reminder: Dawn is approaching, a day of survival is about to begin; please all survivors prepare, and especially note that you must return to the safe house before dark, otherwise you bear the consequences!】

Daytime has gotten even shorter!

Lin Yifan looked at the displayed dawn and dusk times, feeling somewhat heavy-hearted.

He still remembers the day he first arrived here, when dawn was at 7:00 and dusk at 5:00, giving a full ten hours of daylight.

But now, there are only six hours left!

If this continues, in another six days the world will enter polar night!

By then, it will likely be another catastrophe.

Of course, Lin Yifan believes that even if they truly enter polar night, it won't be completely lifeless, after all this is the Survival Realm.

If everyone were dead, what's the point of begging for a hammer's life!

Moreover, now isn't the time to think about those things; the day after tomorrow, a heavy rain disaster will arrive—this is a four-star disaster, and even the three-star disaster killed so many people, the danger of this heavy rain disaster will only be greater, not lesser.

Rather than worry about polar night, it's better to first worry about the heavy rain disaster!

Lin Yifan set aside his random thoughts, washed up, and began preparing breakfast.

The breakfast he needs to prepare is also simple, just like last night's—throw together a pot of mixed grain rice and call it a day.

Moreover, while cooking the rice, he plans to head out for a walk!

If the arrival of polar night is an unavoidable reality, he must adapt to surviving in the wild at night.

The best way to adapt is to go out!

Based on his two previous experiences of lingering in the wild at night, the closer to the shelter, the higher the safety.

Apart from those maggot human bones, basically no large beasts come near the shelter.

As for small beasts, if he doesn't encounter them, it's fine; if he does, they make a nice addition to his meal.

Nevertheless, Lin Yifan wasn't careless; he took out the great axe and held it in his hand, and placed the Wind-Chasing Cloud-Breaking Bow in his storage at a spot where he could grab it fastest.

Then he took the radiant stone and pure spirit flower, and left the shelter.

This time he doesn't plan to go far; he just intends to stroll nearby, after all the pot is still cooking rice!

If it gets burnt, that would be a loss not worth the gain.

After carefully scouting around the shelter, he began cutting and clearing the shrubs in front of the shelter's gate.

The shrubs in front of the shelter's gate aren't tall, mostly only about waist-high, and usually they don't block the view; that's why Lin Yifan was too lazy to clear them.

But once polar night truly arrives and cannot disappear in a short time, he must find a way to become self-sufficient.

Although he now has plenty of cultivation soil, each batch is limited in area; if used to grow crops, relying solely on cultivation soil is far from enough.

So, he needs to open up land!

Lin Yifan had previously observed that the patch of ground in front of the shelter is covered entirely with fertile black soil, and with a large amount of decayed leaf litter forming humus, this land is absolutely fertile.

If it could be used to plant sweet potatoes and potatoes, it would definitely yield a bountiful harvest.

Moreover, he had previously planned that when he had enough materials, he would build a large wall around the shelter to create a big courtyard for himself.

Then he would plant various crops in the courtyard to make his life self-sufficient.

That way, even if he truly faces a prolonged polar night, he can use lighting to turn this courtyard into his final reliance.

Given Lin Yifan's current stamina, clearing a little thicket in the village is practically child's play.

Even if he has to go inside every few minutes to check the rice cooking in the iron pot to prevent it from burning, within an hour he can still clear over 200 square meters of open space.

Moreover, fortunately, while clearing the open space he encountered no beast attacks; instead, while cutting a clump of wild azalea, he discovered a nest of wild rabbits.

This rabbit nest had two large rabbits and six small ones, living in a small hole beneath the wild azalea where three stones were piled together.

Lin Yifan originally wanted to take the whole rabbit nest, but after a second thought he changed his mind.

Rabbits are also a renewable resource; moreover, here there is originally a male and female plus a bunch of babies, so if he raises them well, he'll have a steady supply of rabbit meat in the future.

Since he aims to live self-sufficiently, meat naturally also needs to be solved.

Raising rabbits is absolutely a hundred benefits with no harm!

So he grabbed a bunch of rabbits, tied their feet with vines, and carried them all back to the shelter.

Then he went to the side and cut some flexible branches and vines, returned to the shelter, and began weaving cages.

His breakfast had finished cooking, just like last night's—a pot of attribute-infused mushroom pork rice, and he had deliberately cooked extra, intending to save it for lunch.

Since it's still early, he wasn't in a rush; after finishing breakfast he started weaving the cages.

While weaving the cages, he also took a large piece of crocodile meat he had set aside and placed it in the iron pot to start pan-frying.

Because, another mouth in the shelter finally opened.

This beak is the Small Golden Eagle.

Since the last time it fell into sleep, the Small Golden Eagle has never woken up.

Lin Yifan had been worried, but upon seeing the Small Golden Eagle asleep, not only did it not become weak, its feathers grew even glossier, so he stopped worrying.

Never would have thought that today, the Small Golden Eagle finally woke up.

And as soon as it woke up, it often directly used its sharp beak to nibble Lin Yifan's pant leg in a coquettish manner.

But Lin Yifan almost didn't recognize it; the Small Golden Eagle's feathers had completely changed.
