Survival For All: I, Aura Creator

Chapter 73: Expansion of the Stone House, Large-Scale Layout (Seeking Collection!)

[NZ-3534: A large amount of coal and flint resources are newly available in the coal mine. Although the cold wave is fast leaving, the problem of starting a fire still persists. First come, first served. Those who come late will have nothing.]

[Trading Instructions: To be determined! The highest bidder wins!]

When Ning Ze listed this batch of ordinary coal mine resources and flint resources, players who spent a long time in the Trading Post flocked to his trading building like mosquitoes smelling blood.

HF-8632: "Just received the last batch of trading messages. Thanks to the boss for bringing warmth to me during the cold wave, saving my life."

WD-1156: "The boss didn't accept my last batch of trading offers. I cried. Tonight is destined to be another sleepless and cold night. This time, boss, you must choose!"

LT-6671: "Huh? There are no special coal mine resources listed this time? No high-temperature combustible coal, no smokeless coal. Without these two types of resources, how can we burn fire for warmth?"

NY-5354: "What the heck, my high-temperature combustible coal has just run out, and I was thinking of coming to buy some more. Seller, hurry up and stock up. I'm not short of money."

LS-7736: "I remember the guy upstairs, he's selling a lot of smelted metal materials in the trading building, and the quality of the smelted metal items is generally better than others. It looks like they are smelted using this high-temperature combustible coal."

YQ-9187: "Damn, isn't this too much? We don't even have anything to use for heating, and he's using these materials to make metal items, which is seizing other people's survival opportunities."

WM-8233: "Awesome, why didn't I think that high-temperature combustible coal could be used like this?"

Ning Ze roughly browsed through the comments in the trading building, and it seemed that some people had already realized other uses of high-temperature combustible coal.

A lot of scrap iron, such as broken iron pickaxes, iron axes, or metal materials on iron and copper chests, can actually be reused.

Ordinary coal mines may have difficulty smelting these metals without professional equipment, but for high-temperature combustible coal, it may only require a rudimentary smelting furnace to re-smelt these abandoned metals.

If one has some blacksmithing skills, perhaps these smelted metals can be crafted into various metal items, such as kitchen knives, axes, hoes. Even without attributes, they can still be considered relatively practical materials.

Unfortunately, Ning Ze doesn't understand these things.

After closing the Trading Post, he glanced at the time on his pocket watch. It was already 5:36 in the evening, and there were only a few minutes left until nightfall.

Their location was several hundred meters away from the territory, so they needed to return at least ten minutes in advance.

"Fenrir, Siyu, let's go back."

After calling these two followers, the two of them and the dog set off on the road back to their nest.

In the blink of an eye, Ning Ze and Xue Siyu had already returned to the outskirts of the territory. With a creak, they pushed open the gate and, as they entered, Ning Ze suddenly felt a faint sense of danger.

After Xue Siyu entered the courtyard, she looked at Ning Ze, who was standing still, with surprise, and Fenrir also looked at him with his head tilted.

"It's nothing, let's go in first."

Saying that, he casually closed the gate and latched it, while activating his snake-like perception, coupled with night vision.

"There are no target traces within forty meters, but there seems to be some movement in the woods over there."

The sense of danger just now was not a misconception. Although it only appeared for a moment, it indicated that someone had already set their sights on him.

Is it a monster?

"Never mind, we're already back in the territory. Even if there are monsters, we have to break through the fence first."

It was already very late, and Ning Ze couldn't go out to investigate at this time. Besides, there were defense buildings in the territory, so safety was guaranteed.

Then, he opened the light screen interface and went to the Construction page as usual.

There were four watchtowers in the courtyard, and Ning Ze decided to equip each of them with a level three crossbow bed, relying on the height advantage for a better field of vision. The level three crossbow bed would enhance the defense of the courtyard.

[Level III Crossbow Bed Blueprint (with Crossbow Arrows)]

[Consumption]: Wood*30, String Material*1.5m, Adhesive*3, Iron Ingot*5, Fur*0.3㎡

[Description]: A powerful medium-sized crossbow bed with a minimum effective range of 300m.

Wood was easy to come by, and he still had several hundred pieces of tough wood in his backpack, so there was no pressure to build four crossbow beds.

For the string material, he chose a material that was not easily deformed but had a certain elasticity, such as animal tendons like beef tendons. However, steel wire was also a good choice for crossbow strings.

Coincidentally, he had obtained twenty meters of steel wire from a copper chest during the day, which was enough to make four crossbow beds.

As for adhesive, he currently had no choice but to use strong glue. He had over a hundred iron ingots in his backpack, and he could use wild boar fur for the fur.

After selecting the materials, Ning Ze quickly made four crossbow beds, which would take half an hour to complete.

Then, Ning Ze opened the panel of the stone house.

[Two-bedroom, one-living-room exquisite bungalow]

[Level]: 3

[Size]: 8m*10m*3.5m

[Features]: Insulation +20, Acid Resistance +20, Sturdy +10, Level III Decoration (Extra)

[Description]: The sturdiness far exceeds that of a small wooden house. But do you call this a stone house?

After upgrading to level three, the stone house could not be upgraded temporarily, but it could be expanded.

According to Ning Ze's plan, there were only two ways to expand the stone house: either expand the area of this floor, or build another floor on top of the first floor to create a two-story building.

"An area of 80 square meters seems a bit small. With this layout, even if I build a multi-story building, it will still seem inadequate."

After some thought, Ning Ze decided to expand the first floor. He took out 750 pieces of constant-temperature rock and acid-resistant rock from his backpack and used them to expand the stone house.

This expansion would increase the area of the stone house to 160 square meters, barely qualifying as a large-scale layout. If he added two more floors, it would resemble a villa.

"I can also make a few wardrobes to fill the space in the house."

The materials for building a wardrobe only required ten pieces of wood. Ning Ze casually used thirty pieces of anti-corrosion wood to create three large wardrobes.

[Carved Anti-Corrosion Wardrobe]

[Level]: 1

[Features]: Anti-corrosion and moisture-proof +10, Level II Carving (Extra)

[Description]: Using simple carving techniques, it creates an antique and elegant style.

The carvings on the wardrobe were very exquisite, exuding a sense of antique furniture. He didn't expect a small wardrobe to give him a little surprise.

Tomorrow is Aura's day, after all.
