After taking a shower, Han Qiwu suddenly rembered he had a newly built weaving machine. He casually wiped his hair, walked into the yard, wandered around, and decided to place the weaving machine next to the mill.
The weaving machine didn’t take up much space, only a 2×2 area. Unlike what Han Qiwu initially imagined, the appearance of the weaving machine resembled more of a clothing recycling machine. It had just one input and one output, and the actual weaving process inside wasn’t visible.
[Insert materials into the weaving machine to produce corresponding clothing or bedding]
[Currently producible items: Down jacket, wool sweater, down comforter, feathered shuttlecock, wool blanket, felt coat]
"Quite a lot of options," Han Qiwu remarked as he took out the duck feathers he had obtained earlier this morning and chose the down comforter.
The ancient glacial stone at ho had recently beco quite intense—without a blanket at night, it got rather chilly. Since sumr was approaching, making a cooling blanket seed like a good idea.
[Down Comforter (Thin Version)]
[Materials: [Bundle of Duck Feathers]×20, [Cotton]×5]
[Special Effect - Temperature Regulation: The down comforter automatically adjusts the temperature to the most comfortable level]
[Note: Cotton is indispensable for weaving]
Han Qiwu: "....."
Well, forget it, it needs cotton.
But now that he thought about it, he hadn’t seen any cotton seeds being sold at the seed store.
Could it be that they were only available from the traveling rchant?
Never mind, he’d check it out tomorrow.
After blow-drying his hair, Han Qiwu picked up his phone and gave his mom a call.
Although it was already eleven o’clock, he knew his mom’s nightly drama-watching session had just begun.
Sure enough, Mrs. Han answered the call instantly. Her face was still covered in a face mask. She gestured toward the mask, then handed the phone over to Mr. Han, who was playing cards nearby.
Han Qiwu chuckled, "Dad, do you guys have any plans this weekend? Interested in eting your daughter-in-law? Oh, by the way, the other day I ran into Qingying’s parents during the fishing tournant in town. We ended up sitting down for a al together."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Han imdiately set his ga to auto-play. Holding the phone in surprise, he nodded enthusiastically, "We don’t have any plans. What does Qingying like to eat? I’ll go grocery shopping early tomorrow morning."
Before Han Qiwu could reply, Mrs. Han, unwilling to give up her face mask earlier, snatched the phone back, peeled off the mask, and eagerly asked, "You t Qingying’s parents? Just like that? Did they take a liking to you? Did you perform well?"
"Mom, co on! With your son’s exceptional qualities, who wouldn’t like ? They even said they wanted and Qingying to get married right away!" Han Qiwu boasted smugly.
"Oh, look at you showing off! Don’t worry, bring her ho tomorrow! I’ll make sure there’s a big feast for lunch," Mrs. Han replied happily.
"Nah, Mom, no need to fuss. Just buy so groceries in the morning. I’ll cook lunch, and you two can take a break. Tonight, your mission is to relax—don’t keep Dad up cleaning the house at midnight," Han Qiwu waved his hand casually.
"Ah, my son truly cares about ." Mr. Han gave a thumbs-up from the side.
Mrs. Han pouted but eventually nodded in agreent, "Alright, you sleep well too, and drive carefully when you bring Qingying back tomorrow. Safety first."
"Got it." After a few more reminders, Han Qiwu hung up the phone. In bed, he texted Mr. Tang to let him know he’d be free to co by for lunch tomorrow if he had ti. He glanced up at the ceiling and couldn’t help but smile. Sweetly, he fell asleep.
anwhile, Mrs. Han, having just hung up, couldn’t resist the urge to call out to her husband to start cleaning.
Mr. Han had been prepared for this. Keeping his phone ready on the "call son back" screen, he persuaded her, "Don’t rush. I’ll go grocery shopping myself tomorrow morning. You can tidy up at your own pace; there’s plenty of ti."
"No, we’re going grocery shopping together to get fresh ingredients. Let’s wake up early. No more watching TV," Mrs. Han declared, turning off the television and dragging Mr. Han off to rest.
She was taking this eting very seriously.
That brat! Couldn’t he have told us sooner?

"Baa, baa, baa."
Listening to the sheep bleating, Han Qiwu stretched lazily and went straight to the sheep pen.
While walking, he didn’t forget to glance at his log.
After accumulating for so long, both his combat and mining skills had finally leveled up. From the experience logs, it was clear that the creatures in the deeper layers of the mines yielded significantly more experience points.
"Shield Ring? Is it the kind of ring that cos with a built-in shield?" Han Qiwu curiously pulled up the blueprints for the Shield Ring.
[Shield Ring]
[Materials: [Gold Ingot]×2, [Iron Ingot]×1, [Iridium Ore]×1]
[Effect: Provides a shield to the wearer at regular intervals]
[Note: The shield refresh ti is affected by the Luck stat]
"Interesting." Han Qiwu noted that he happened to have all the materials on hand and detoured to the storage chest to take out the necessary components to start crafting.
A few minutes later, a quaint ring resembling a thimble appeared in Han Qiwu’s hand. Though it looked a little shabby, it gave off a strong sense of security.
[Shield Ring]
[Special Effect - Protection: Provides the wearer with a shield that can block 100 points of damage. Once broken, it refreshes every 1–5 minutes]
[Durability: 50 uses]
[Note: It offers imdiate protection when you need it most]
"This thing is pretty good. With it, I could tank beetles for up to five hits." Han Qiwu nodded in satisfaction. Although the durability was a bit low, given that the materials weren’t scarce, he could simply craft another once it wore out.
Not to ntion, he had also just learned Alchemy.
He had tried it earlier, and the results were impressive. Within seconds, he could turn iron ingots into gold ingots.
If he showcased this as a magic trick, he could definitely land a pri spot on the Spring Festival Gala.
No need to hire a stand-in either.
After finishing his analysis of the latest gains, he stepped into the sheep pen. He looked around but didn’t find any scattered bundles of wool.
Instead, he noticed system-enhanced glimrs on the sheep’s bodies.
Ah, turns out you have to shear them yourself.
Han Qiwu grabbed a large pair of scissors and swung them mid-air toward the goats and sheep.
*Snip*
Several bundles of wool floated gently to the ground from the sheep’s bodies.
Now that he had the wool, could wool sweaters be far behind?
