My Pokémon Player

Chapter 40 Brickmaking and Construction

"Lord Ryan said that he could see at a glance that I was a person capable of great things, so he gave me this difficult task."

Lin Mu put his hands on his hips and said to Chen Yan proudly.

"Ah, yes, yes, then why are you here looking for me if you, a man who can do great things, don't fix the toilet?"

"Aren't I sharing the blessing? When something good happens, I will think of you first and come to you to complete the task together."

"I don't think it's a good thing to be sent to repair toilets. Besides, my fields haven't been planted yet. I should keep this blessing to myself."

Chen Yan waved his hand, signaling Lin Mu to go away quickly and not to delay his farming.

Seeing Chen Yan like this, Lin Mu stopped pretending. He hugged Chen Yan's arm and cried:

"Brother, please help me! I really don't know how to repair the toilet. If I can't complete the task by then, my favorability with Lord Ryan will be lost!"

"You don't want to see your good brother being targeted by the protagonist of the game and finally giving up the game sadly."

Chen Yan looked at the tearful Lin Mu, felt a chill in his heart, and quickly wanted to break off Lin Mu's hand.

"Put your hands away first! Who asked you to take random tasks just for rewards? Besides, you can't repair the toilet, can I?"

Lin Mu refused to let go, but held him tighter.

"If you don't promise me, I won't let go! It's better to have someone to help me than to do nothing alone."

"And your help is not in vain. Lord Ryan said that as long as players participate, elf coins will be distributed according to their contribution."

"Please, my good giegie~"

At the end of the sentence, Lin Mu even shook Chen Yan's arm, and his voice became extremely numb.

"First of all, please don't disgust me. I promise you, why don't you? Please take your hands off me!"

Chen Yan felt like he had goosebumps all over his body. Why did Lin Mu become so arrogant in the game? He was not like this in reality either.

Everyone lets themselves go after entering the game, right?

"If I had promised earlier, it would have been over. I had to act like a spoiled child for you. I didn't expect you to be so good at it."

After hearing Chen Yan's promise to him, Lin Mu immediately let go of his hand and said with a look of disgust.

"Mosquito-repellent tadpoles, don't water them yet. Please spray them with a water gun to kill them!"

Chen Yan turned to the mosquito-repellent tadpoles that were being watered and said.

"Yo?"

Mosquito-repellent tadpole looked at Chen Yan with confusion.

Weren't you two still posting stickers just now? Why are you attacking him now?

"No, no, no, we are joking."

Lin Mu was really afraid that the mosquito-repellent tadpole would take him seriously, so he directly fired a water gun at him.

But he was overly worried. Ryan had already told these Pokémon that they were only responsible for plowing and watering the fields and did not need to listen to other orders.

Chen Yan naturally knew this, so he said it deliberately, wanting to scare Lin Mu so as not to disgust him all the time.

"Let's stop making trouble and be serious. Thank you very much for coming to help me. Do you think the two of us are enough? Do you want to recruit a few more players?"

"We definitely have to recruit people. Just the two of us will have to build it until the end of the year."

"Lord Ryan said that if you need anyone, you can go to Clerk White to get it."

"Then we have to recruit players so that the NPCs can do some hard work. We have to rely on our own research on the technical aspects."

Chen Yan pointed at Xu Ruofeng who was watching the excitement and said:

"Ignore the others for now. Let's get Xu Ruofeng over here. He has been laughing at us for a long time."

"no problem!"

Lin Mu met Xu Ruofeng through Chen Yan and was not familiar with him at first.

But men, after going out to wash their feet a few times, they will get to know each other.

Under the pressure of the two, Xu Ruofeng also joined in.

The three of them decided to check the information after going offline today and officially start building the toilet tomorrow.

Time quickly came to the next day.

As soon as Lin Mu went online, he couldn't wait to share his learning results with the other two people.

"I watched a carpentry teaching class during the day, and also watched a few videos of building toilets in the wild. I have generally mastered the construction process. Just wait and see me show off my skills!"

"Why are you watching the carpentry class? Didn't we say in the group that we would build a toilet with bricks and tiles?"

Xu Ruofeng asked puzzledly.

"When did you say that? Why didn't I know about this?"

Lin Mu even had a question mark on his face.

"Oh no, I forgot to include you in the group! I asked you why you didn't say a word in the group during the day!"

Only then did Xu Ruofeng remember that he didn't invite Lin Mu into the group chat.

"What do you mean? You even created a group behind my back?"

Lin Mu felt isolated.

"No, this group was created by Ruofeng before. There are only five old players in it. We often discuss the game in it after we go offline."

"I was so busy discussing repairing the toilet today that I forgot to remind Ruofeng to invite you into the group."

Chen Yan explained.

"So you are planning to use bricks and tiles to build a toilet? Then my carpentry class was in vain? Why can't you use wood to build a toilet?"

Lin Mu couldn't accept that he wasted a whole day.

“At first we also considered using wood to build toilets. After all, the wood reserves are still sufficient, but then we thought that wood is afraid of water, is easily corroded by excrement, and will rot and deteriorate in a short time, so we gave up this idea. "

"Then we thought of firing bricks and tiles to build toilets. The toilets built with bricks and tiles are not only strong and moisture-proof, but also more convenient for cleaning and collecting excrement."

"It can also increase our experience in building houses with bricks and tiles, so we will be more familiar with building our own houses in the future."

Chen Yan told Lin Mu the results of the discussion in the group.

Lin Mu has no other advantages, but he listens to advice and was quickly convinced.

"But isn't it very troublesome to burn bricks? Are you sure the three of us can make it?"

"I checked some information and videos during the day. In fact, burning bricks is not very difficult. Just follow me."

Chen Yan took them to a muddy land and instructed them to dig mud into the wooden barrel.

Although Lin Mu didn't know what the connection was between the mud and the bricks, he still did it.

After the three of them dug a pile of mud, Chen Yan used the mud to pile up an uncovered cylinder, leaving an air inlet at the bottom.

Then he ignited the branches and dead leaves that had been placed in advance in it, and used the heat to quickly dry the mud.

In this way, the mud kiln was almost formed.

Then the cut wood was neatly placed in the mud kiln, and the top of the mud kiln was sealed after it was ignited with fire.

He used mud to build a cone on the top of the mud kiln. When the temperature in the kiln rose high enough, he blocked all the holes and let the wood suffocate inside.

The rest, leave it to time.

"Okay, you build a few more mud kilns according to my method."

"Can you make bricks like this?" Lin Mu asked in surprise.

"No, your bricks are made of wood? We are burning charcoal here. How can we make bricks without charcoal?"

"Ah? Why not just use coal?"

"Good question! Why don't you use it? Is it because you don't want to? It must be because there is no coal!"

Chen Yan said unhappily.

"Well, okay, I will give the lord a suggestion on digging coal later."

Lin Mu said embarrassedly.

"That's a matter for the future. We still have to burn charcoal now, and we can use charcoal to burn bricks tomorrow."

"We have to wait until tomorrow? What should we do after we finish building these mud kilns?"

"We can first use wood to grind out the mold for burning bricks, and then find suitable clay to make brick embryos."

Chen Yan assigned them the next task.

By the time they finished all the work, it was already afternoon.

"Huh~ I'm finally done."

Lin Mu was so tired that he couldn't even straighten his back.

"We have too few people. If we attract more players and NPCs tomorrow, we won't be as tired as today."

"Okay, I'll go to Secretary White tomorrow to ask for people. It's still early before the offline time. What are you going to do next?"

"Ruofeng and I will definitely continue to farm. As for you, you have taken a carpentry class for a day, so you can put your knowledge into practice and continue to repair the house."

Repairing the house? It's not impossible. It's just right to let those who say I'm making trouble see my strength after a day of further study!

Lin Mu is full of confidence at this moment!

"Are you here to make trouble? Why dig a hole in the middle of the wooden bed?!"

"Sorry, sorry, I thought it was a toilet."

Lin Mu is in tears at this moment. He has learned too much knowledge!

After three days of hard work, Chen Yan and his team finally successfully fired the first batch of red bricks.

Although the quality of this batch of bricks was not good due to various problems such as insufficient drying time and improper firing temperature.

But they were finally fired.

And they also fired some cement with wood ash.

Next, we can build toilets.

The videos about toilets that Lin Mu watched finally came in handy.

He directed the players and NPCs to quickly build the first public toilet.

"Look, sir, this toilet we built is all made of red bricks and cement. It is strong, durable, waterproof and corrosion-resistant."

Lin Mu explained to Ryan who came to inspect.

"We used a wall to separate the left and right, dividing it into male and female toilets, and considering that most of the people in the territory sit to use the toilet, we did not use squatting pits, but used toilets."

"Since our territory does not have a sewer system yet, the toilet does not have a flushing function, but only a wooden barrel is placed underneath to collect excrement."

Ryan listened to Lin Mu's explanation, looked around the toilet, and nodded with satisfaction.

Although this toilet looks very simple, there are also many problems.

But Ryan was surprised to be able to build a brick toilet in just a few days.

As for those problems, this toilet is just for transition anyway, and it can be demolished and rebuilt later.

Ryan plans to re-plan the town when he has time in the future.

The current Firefly Town is indeed a bit dirty and messy, and there is not even a basic drainage system.

"You did a great job and lived up to my trust in you."

"The remaining toilets will be built in the same way. In addition, due to your outstanding performance, I decided to reward you with the right to use the arable land first, and then issue the special reward after you finish building other toilets."

Ryan patted Lin Mu's shoulder and said in an appreciative tone.

"Thank you for your reward. For the development of the territory, I will die!"

Lin Mu said solemnly.

"Damn, how can this guy Lin Mu be more licking than me?"

Xu Ruofeng whispered to Chen Yan.

"You are too modest. In my opinion, you two are equally matched. Don't criticize each other."

"You don't understand. Can licking the protagonist of a game be called licking? It's a necessary means to conquer the game."

"Besides, licking characters in the game is better than licking people in real life. At least the NPCs in the game will increase their favorability. In reality, people will only call you a dog licker!"

After hearing what Xu Ruofeng said, Chen Yan couldn't refute it for a while.

What he said seems to make sense. How about I try to lick it in the future?

Chen Yan was thinking secretly when he suddenly heard Ryan calling him.

He quickly came to his side, bowed and said:

"Lord, what is your order from me?"

"I heard [Bo Yan Guimu] say that you helped him a lot and contributed a lot in the process of building the toilet. Tell me what reward you want."

When Chen Yan heard this, he glanced at Lin Mu and found that the other party was blinking at him.

How about it? I'm interesting enough.

Chen Yan nodded slightly to express his gratitude, and then said to Ryan:

"Lord, I don't need any reward. It's my honor to share your worries."

Damn it?

Lin Mu and Xu Ruofeng both looked at Chen Yan in surprise.

Unexpectedly, this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes also learned to lick people!

"It's good that you have such a heart, but you will be rewarded for your merits. Let's do this. In addition to the elf coins that I promised to reward you before, I will give you another chance to use the circle bear."

"A chance to use the Circle Bear?"

"To put it simply, you can borrow my Circle Bear for a battle, but it cannot be used to help you capture Pokémon."

"Thank you for the reward, I will definitely cherish this opportunity to use it!"

Chen Yan said with a look of surprise.

This is a level 30-plus Pokémon. It is the most powerful Pokémon in the hands of Lord Ryan. He can actually borrow it once. Not much else, at least it is invincible among the player community.

The most important thing is that the level of Circle Bear will definitely increase in the future.

Thinking of this, Chen Yan secretly made up his mind. He would not use this opportunity lightly unless it was absolutely necessary.

"In addition, I have to give you a task. The toilet has been built, and now we urgently need a place to store a large amount of excrement. This place will be built by you."

Ryan released new tasks for players.

"Understood, we will definitely complete the task as soon as possible!"

Chen Yan and the others nodded in agreement.

Isn't it just building a septic tank? They now have bricks and cement, so building a septic tank is not easy.

After the players left, Ryan looked at the toilet and fell into thinking.

Now the toilet has been built and the septic tank has been repaired. All that is left is the transportation link.

Yinghuo Town has no drainage system and can only rely on manpower to transport excrement.

And this task is not suitable for players to do.

They all come from modern society, and they must be resistant to this kind of thing in their hearts.

If Ryan forced them to do it, they would definitely go to play the game.

But it’s true that there is no mistake, and it’s not like Ryan doesn’t have a better candidate.

He said to his followers:

"Inform Clerk White and ask him to post a notice recruiting manure pickers. Successful applicants will not only be provided with three meals a day, but they will also be able to work in lieu of taxes!"

"As you command, I will inform Mr. White right away."

Players may think feces is dirty, but Aboriginal people don't.

They have lived in this dirty town for so many years and have long been used to it.

Moreover, the salary offered by Ryan is very generous, so many people will definitely apply for the job.

“Another problem has been solved. Watching the territory gradually improve, it’s really a sense of accomplishment. The key is that the creation points gained every day have also increased!”

Ryan glanced at the creation point on the panel, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly.

[Side task: Build and repair territorial houses (task completed, reward has been distributed)]

Ryan was startled by the sudden prompt.

"Good guy, I almost forgot that there is a side mission. I only rewarded two entry-level lottery opportunities. There are no good things anyway, so I just drew it and forget it."

"Two consecutive draws, let's go!"

【Congratulations on your draw】
