Chapter 37: Aren’t You Afraid of Me?
After all, people’s constitutions are different. A game character doesn’t need to drink water or use the bathroom, and while they do need to eat, it’s only to restore stamina or health. If they don’t work or fight monsters, they won’t consume anything at all in a day—something that would make even a robot shake its head.
Leon was just an ordinary transmigrator with a System, and he couldn’t handle that kind of high-intensity lifestyle.
So he kept to his daily routine: watering his crops, wandering in the wild, eating in town now and then, glancing at the girls, and making friends with a few like-minded strangers. For Leon, it was just right.
As time passed and his foraging progressed, Leon reached the edge of the remote forest. The surrounding trees and vegetation thinned, and a little further on, the view suddenly opened up.
It was still mountainous terrain, but before him stretched an unusually flat slope, as if naturally formed. Vegetation was sparse, and the open view made the place feel vast. The only striking sight was a colossal ancient tree—so large it would take five or six people linking arms to encircle it—standing in the middle of the slope.
A short distance further down, Leon spotted a small, solitary villa built on another flat patch of ground. Behind the villa lay a large open yard stacked neatly with construction materials: cut stone of all shapes and sizes, and timber in various lengths. Only in this storage area was there a simple roof, shielding the materials from wind and rain.
Among the timber piles, Leon saw Robin sawing planks by hand with a steel saw. Standing upwind, he called out, “Hey! Robin.”
Hearing the shout from above, Robin looked up in puzzlement. When she saw Leon on the slope, she grinned. “Ha, Leon! I didn’t expect you to come all the way to the northern foothills. Out for a walk?”
“Something like that. Is this whole area yours?” Leon asked, nodding toward the land around them.
