Chapter 613 - 5: Cannon Fodder Bootlicker in the Beast World Farming Novel (Part 5)
First, sharpen the stone axe. After just a few strokes, Little Buding suddenly spoke mysteriously.
"I have something good here, want it?"
Jiang Lai responded while working.
"Let me check it out first."
"Have you seen The Texas Chainsaw Massacre?"
"Can you provide me with a chainsaw?"
Talking to a smart person saves a lot of words. Little Buding didn’t keep the mystery any longer and laid all cards on the table.
"I just spent a big amount in the points mall, and the mall gave me quite a few things. One of them is a prop teleportation."
The normal system and its host can only communicate, release simple tasks, and provide task progress tips.
But ever since Little Buding spent a hundred thousand points, a mysterious door truly opened for him.
It let him witness firsthand how delightful the world of the wealthy is.
Jiang Lai unhesitatingly tossed the stone axe aside.
"You should’ve told me you had good stuff earlier."
"You were just eagerly gearing up like you were about to punch through the Earth. I felt bad interrupting you."
Little Buding did it on purpose.
Let Jiang Lai experience the feel of chopping trees with a stone axe first, then give her a taste of modern technology. Wouldn’t the contrast just pop out, and wouldn’t she then regard him in a new light?
A strong sense of satisfaction arose spontaneously.
Little Buding went straight to the points mall, spent eight hundred points, and bought a chainsaw to teleport over.
The moment Jiang Lai got the chainsaw, she felt hopeful that in ten years she could bring the ancient Beast World into the steam age. But seeing the power cord trailing behind the chainsaw, along with the surrounding desolate and uninhabited ancient forest, she rubbed her head.
Her head started to ache.
"How the hell do you expect me to use this thing without electricity?"
A chainsaw without power is not even as useful as an ordinary saw.
"..."
Little Buding was silent for a few seconds.
Then his brain started spinning wildly, racking it for ways to redeem himself.
Finally able to come in handy, this time he wanted to save some face for himself.
His gaze turned to the mobile power source in the points mall.
Quite advanced high-tech, solar-charged, extremely powerful, operating this two-thousand-two-hundred-watt chainsaw in one go was no problem at all.
Plus, it had a system that upgrades stronger as it encounters more power needs. Simply put, the more it’s used, the higher its power storage capacity.
Little Buding, being a third-tier underprivileged citizen struggling at the subsistence line ever since entering the workforce, had never seen something so advanced in his life.
Thinking of Jiang Lai’s naive expression when he would show her this, Little Buding couldn’t wait to see the price below the product.
Instantly, a bucket of cold water splashed over his head.
"Damn, fifty thousand points, why don’t you just rob me!"
An item like a blood restoration pack, a god-level medicine, is only a hundred thousand. How could this be worth fifty thousand?
At this time, Little Buding noticed Jiang Lai was thinking about how to dismantle the blade from the chainsaw. Just thinking about his eight hundred-point purchase getting wrecked by Jiang Lai, Little Buding gritted his teeth and stomped his foot.
"Loan!"
Buy it even if there isn’t a penny in his pocket!
Now he was a gold-level system, his credit rating was exceedingly high, so he could easily open a zero-down-payment loan feature. As long as he repaid before the two worlds ended, it would be fine, and there wouldn’t be any interest. Interest would start collecting after the two worlds.
Then, just as Jiang Lai was preparing to make her move, a half-person-tall mobile power bank appeared out of nowhere right before her eyes.
"Did you think I wouldn’t have thought of that?
Ha! What a joke!
I’ve arranged everything long ago for you! The latest model of mobile solar-charging powerhouse, a single charge lasts you three days!
Moreover, it can upgrade its capacity according to usage!
Open your eyes and see the work Little Buding has done!"
Seeing Jiang Lai’s expression, Little Buding felt unprecedented satisfaction.
Yes, yes, just this kind of bumpkin aura who hasn’t seen the world!
This loan was absolutely worth it!
Jiang Lai was indeed astounded.
Never thought Little Buding had these many functions!
"Wow, President Ding, you’re awesome, really."
"I used to be too low-profile, just wanted to be equals with you as friends.
Now I’ve laid all cards on the table, no more pretending, high-tech gold-level system, meeting me is like ancestors’ graves belching cooking smoke!"
"Wow, awesome, really awesome."
Jiang Lai followed one principle.
Two sentences, making the system spend fifty thousand for me.
Little Buding totally bought it, not feeling the weight of the loan on his back at all.
With high-tech, Jiang Lai was like a tiger with wings, preparing all the needed lumber before dark.
The original body’s strength was immense and full of energy, and Jiang Lai worked the whole night without feeling tired at all.
Little Buding woke up from a deep sleep, opened his eyes and got a sudden shock seeing a two-story wooden house in front of him, almost thinking he was still dreaming.
As for Jiang Lai, she was still busy.
She climbed onto the rooftop, eyeing and measuring dimensions, then went on to dig a kiln cave without stopping, self-making mud bricks, beginning to try firing bricks.
The wooden house could temporarily dwell, but it wasn’t sturdy after all. To feel secure living, it had to be a brick house.
Bricks weren’t as easy as expected to fire, and ordinary mud bricks were too fragile. Jiang Lai thought for a moment, temporarily mixing hay with the muddy base of the pond, plastering it around the wooden house and on the rooftop.
In this way, the house could also keep warm while blocking wind and rain.
In the meantime, Jiang Lai made some furniture for herself, tables, chairs, and benches were basic, but the bed, which was linked to happiness index, was crucial.
Jiang Lai made a 1.8-meter by 2-meter double bed, and as soon as it was done, she smelled an unusual scent.
When she went out, the smell got stronger, and then three large snow leopards were closing in on Jiang Lai in a triangular encirclement.
Looking at those sharp leopard teeth and smooth white fur, Jiang Lai’s eyes lit up slightly.
Little Buding warned her.
"These are not ordinary leopards, their speed is fast and team hunting makes their failure rate almost zero."
Yet Jiang Lai remained excited.
"Well, let’s give it a try."
She stood still, fingers on the chainsaw’s start button. Just then, the three leopards pounced almost simultaneously, coming at Jiang Lai from in front, left, and right, giving her no chance to escape.
At that moment, the chainsaw roared, accompanied by a wailing sound, the leopard in the center fell heavily to the ground, with blood gushing from its belly.
The other two snow leopards missed and crashed into each other in mid-air. Jiang Lai, already transformed into beast form and lurking aside, pounced on the one to the left, biting its neck.
Quickly, as the other one tried to escape, Jiang Lai yanked the rope made from tree bark in her hand, and a big tree tottered and fell, accurately hitting the fleeing snow leopard.
The battle ended swiftly.
For the gutted leopard, Jiang Lai skinned and saved the flesh, washed and dried the fur outside.
The snow leopard crushed to death could serve for making clothes and boots, keeping the bones, and chopped the remaining meat to toss into the pond.
