"Knock, knock, knock."
A knocking sound ca from outside the door.
Qin Ziwen thought it was Zhang Bo delivering fish or Xiao ixue returning with the fish trap.
Upon opening the door, he discovered it was Li Yue.
"Brother Qin."
"Co in, have a seat."
Ever since entering the room, Li Yue had looked troubled and distracted. Qin Ziwen teased him, "What's wrong? Is there sothing you're too embarrassed to say?"
Li Yue said, "It's like this, Brother Qin. I'm planning to move my house over here."
"You spent quite a bit on decorating that house, didn't you?"
Li Yue blurted out his thoughts in one go, "That doesn't matter at all. I just feel like where I live now is a bit too far from you guys. Anyway, I'm the only one living in my house, and I haven't used any cards to build a Ho yet, so it's still possible.
I just want to move directly and find an empty room on your floor to live in. That way, even if sothing happens in the future, I'll be closer to your place, boss."
Qin Ziwen said, "As long as you don't mind the hassle."
A smile appeared on Li Yue's face, "Definitely not a hassle. And new residents are coming soon. I'm worried that if I don't act now and the spots get taken, there won't be any space left."
"Xiao Wu just used the room upstairs. Right now, only 801 and 202 downstairs are left. Which one do you want? But let tell you upfront, both of these apartnts have had people die in them."
Li Yue stated his preference, "801! That works perfectly, I can be neighbors with Brother Deng Guang. 202 is too close to the first floor; I've heard the lower floors aren't safe.
Oh right, Brother Qin, that talent in the residential complex walking around with a loudspeaker shouting everywhere, is that soone you found? See, I told you the idea I thought of was pretty useful!"
"What?" Qin Ziwen was suspicious.
Soon, he fell silent.
In the distance, walking below Building 2, Guo Xiaochun had sohow found a long pole. A piece of yellow cloth was tied to the top, with a large character "Qin" painted on it in pignt. He was constantly patrolling the residential complex.
In his left hand, he held a large loudspeaker, which was playing a looped ssage: "Don't miss out as you pass by! Qin Ziwen, Mr. Qin from Building 8, is providing a piece of important news to the neighbors for free! The next world we'll cross into is the Gobi Desert map! Gobi Desert map! Gobi Desert map! Important things must be said three tis. Please prepare water sources, you must prepare water sources!"
Along the way, people occasionally approached Guo Xiaochun to talk, probably to verify the authenticity of the news.
Guo Xiaochun was talking with such animated gestures, and those inquiring about the news hurriedly left again.
So neighbors, carrying buckets, rushed out the door towards the river, presumably to fetch water.
"Brother Qin, see, I told you it was useful. At a ti like this, people have no patience for fancy, flashy thods. You have to be simple and direct." Li Yue said proudly.
Qin Ziwen sighed with feeling, "Coming up with this thod isn't the hard part; the hard part is putting it into practice. Li Yue, you and Guo Xiaochun should really get along well, be birds of a feather, be two of a kind."
"Ahem, boss, those are all derogatory terms." Li Yue cleared his throat and reminded him in a low voice.
"I ant the derogatory ones. Alright, let's go to your place first and help you move."
Li Yue moving alone would be too slow, so Qin Ziwen simply called a few more people.
Zhao Pu and Deng Guang welcod Li Yue's decision to move to Building 8.
Wang Yun seed sowhat tempted, but his wife was still recovering and hadn't been out recently, so he could only wait and see for now.
Yuan Ming had just returned ho not long ago.
Yuan Dajun asked him, "Last ti you ntioned that Captain of yours is surnad Qin?"
"Yeah, what about it, Dad?"
"This guy... he's not bad. He's got vision."
......
Li Yue didn't have a lot of things to move.
Apartnt 801 had been cleaned once before, and the windows had been left open for ventilation, so there wasn't much of a sll.
After moving everything, Li Yue thanked everyone and then privately found Qin Ziwen. "Captain, are you going to exchange for that Blank Expansion Card?"
Qin Ziwen shook his head.
Seeing this, Li Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "I have 7 Contribution Points now. If I have a bit of luck going up the mountain tomorrow, I should be able to gather the eight points needed to exchange for it."
Qin Ziwen encouraged him, "Alright, give it your best shot."
Then Li Yue brought up the idea of borrowing the Celestial Star Arrow Gallery to practice archery. Qin Ziwen readily agreed.
But he was a bit puzzled, "After I ntioned it last ti, this is your first ti coming here. Are you all just too embarrassed?"
Li Yue laughed, "Probably everyone's been pretty busy these past couple of days."
Qin Ziwu, hearing that Li Yue wanted to co practice archery, decided to co be the coach.
He ended up utterly crushed.
Li Yue's archery skills were actually a bit better than his!
"Isn't this your first ti here?!" Qin Ziwu said through gritted teeth.
"Yeah, it's my first ti here." Li Yue replied with a completely serious face.
"Dammit, you're pretending to be weak to beat the strong." Qin Ziwu was furious.
"Brother Wu, I liked playing with cold weapons before, so of course I've played with bows. But my archery usually isn't this good. I just don't know why, after coming here, I feel..." "Feel like you've been reborn, like you've leveled up twice, right?" Qin Ziwu interrupted him. "That's the buff effect of this building. Everyone who cos in to practice archery gets to enjoy it. Don't say anymore. I thought my archery ranking could go up one spot, but instead it went down one spot."
In the end, he was a bit rueful.
Li Yue practiced archery for a little over half an hour before excusing himself and leaving. It was evening, and staying at soone else's place for too long wasn't appropriate.
But before leaving, Li Yue suggested, "Brother Qin, this building is too powerful. Even a complete novice who knows nothing can be 'fed' into a skilled veteran here. The building's effect is too strong. I think you, Captain, could charge a fee, whether in Contribution Points or other resources."
Qin Ziwen waved his hand dismissively, "No fees for now. Let's focus on improving the team's combat power first. Besides, you're all so poor right now. Let's talk about it after you get a bit richer."
As for whether they would still co to this building after they got "richer," the answer was definitely yes.
Once they obtained Recruitnt Cards and had new subordinates, having experienced the miraculous effects of the Celestial Star Arrow Gallery, how could they refuse? This was called cultivating spending habits.
A bit later, Xiao ixue ca to the door with three fish and the fish trap.
One Tiger Fish and two Crucian Carp.
He put the Tiger Fish in a bucket by itself and released the two Crucian Carp into the fish pond.
In the evening, Qin Ziwen went to the Tavern and worked a shift for a while but didn't attract any custors.
After washing up, he went to bed.
"You have successfully survived safely in the wilderness for the twenty-ninth day. You have harvested a card, harvested a large amount of fish... Comprehensive Score: 70 points"
"Rewards Obtained: [Building Card] Level 1 Archery Workshop1, [Resource Card] Level 1 Moso Bamboo Forest1"
Archery Workshop—finally, a building specialized in making ranged weapons.
And the Moso Bamboo Forest...
Bamboo is good stuff. So can be used for spear shafts, so for bows, and others are suitable for arrows.
However, bamboo also cos in many varieties. It's just not clear which use Moso Bamboo is suitable for.
The Level 1 Moso Bamboo Forest requires a 3030 area, roughly one and a half acres of land; it's a space hog. The Archery Workshop, on the other hand, only needs a 510 area, requiring much less space.

After finishing his wash, Qin Ziwen ca out and saw Du Yu practicing his morning exercises in the living room, with Zhang ng following along and learning.
It seed that after going up the mountain together yesterday, Du Yu had won Zhang ng over.
"Sir." Seeing him approach, Zhang ng hurriedly stopped his movents.
"Do you two know about Moso Bamboo? What is this thing suitable for making?"
Zhang ng quickly chid in, "Sir, I know! Moso Bamboo is straight and hard, most suitable for making arrow shafts."
At this mont, Du Yu also slowly finished his movents, his breath steady as he replied, "Reporting, sir. Moso Bamboo has thick, solid walls and is quite heavy, making it excellent material for spear shafts. The drawback is that it's relatively heavy, but that makes it more suitable for dealing with beasts."
"Suitable for arrows and shafts, what about bows?"
Du Yu shook his head, "Moso Bamboo lacks flexibility. Bows made from Moso Bamboo are prone to breaking and injuring the archer."
Qin Ziwen felt a bit regretful but was still satisfied.
What material is perfect in every way?
