Chapter 6 - second day and expectations for the shelter

yawn~

waking up from my sleep I feel cold and try to cover myself with my blanket but then I realize that the only thing I have to cover myself with is a piece of gray cloth.

'how cold...so it wasn't a dream then?'

'haa~ I don't want to get up... but I'm hungry... I guess I can reheat yesterday's soup."

After a small moment of resignation I got up and started to prepare a new fire to warm up my breakfast.

"huu~ it's a bit annoying to eat my food like this... I need a spoon, I guess I could carve it using wood".

after breakfast I decided to open the chat to see what the other people in the world were doing, however there was a system message that I didn't see yesterday.

[SURVIVED TIME: 1 DAY]

"so this should count the days since I came here... what for?"

after a moment I closed the chat, it wouldn't help me to think about it now.

remove stone axe x1 and stone x1'.

taking the axe and a stone I started to file the edge of the axe.

'durability can go down... well, I can do more, a goal for today..... maybe I can make a shovel or a pickaxe? I need a lot of earth if I want to make mud walls."

after filing for a while I was finally satisfied with the edge of the axe and with it in my hands I left the shelter.

//Fuosh//

"haa~ I want to make a coat out of that rabbit fur but first I need the necessary tools, it's a hassle."

I went to the back of the shelter and put the axe aside.

'remove stone x10 and wood x20'.

on the ground to my left appeared 10 rocks of between 50 and 70 centimeters while to my right appeared 20 tree trunks of about 30 centimeters wide and approximately two and a half meters long.

"this is going to be quite a nuisance.."

I used the stones to make a support and prevent the trunk from moving by accident so I started to cut the trunk.

//cut down/// //cut down/// //cut down///

once I finished cutting I now had two wood units of a little more than 120 centimeters, I left them aside and placed another log to continue doing the same as with the previous one.

//cutting/// //cutting//// //cutting///

I continued with my work cutting wood until I finished with half of it, then I cut the same wood in the middle leaving a smooth part.

//huff// //huff///

"haa~ I'm done with this, system, keep this wood that I cut in the inventory".

[received]

Having finished half of the job I dragged one of the logs that was still intact and placed it on the stones.

as with the smaller halves I cut these logs down the middle then put them in the inventory, put the axe and rocks on the ground and went into the shelter to warm myself with the heat from the campfire.

"I need a drink of water... or a soup, if I leave it for too long it could spoil".

I reheated the soup and poured myself a bowl, it had been several hours since I started working in the wood and it was now a little past midday.

"the rabbit meat is a little tougher than yesterday but not much... ah, the rabbit, right, I was going to ask David to eviscerate it for me."

[Red Crescent: hey david, i need your help with something, of course, it's not free]

[David Crescent: what is it? you know I don't think there's much I can help you with, at least not at this time]

[Red Crescent: i know, i know, the thing is i have a mutant rabbit in my inventory, i already skinned it and i keep its fur for myself, what i need is for you to eviscerate it for me]

[David Crescent: and I guess some of its meat is for me right?]

[Red Crescent: yes, we can use the transaction option, just put anything you don't need in there to give you the rabbit, ok?]

[David Crescent: that's fine with me, I'm going to send you a weed]

[vendor: Red Crescent

item: mutant rabbit (lv 0) skinned x1

price: weed x1

stock: 1]

I didn't even have to wait a minute, just a few seconds later.

[transaction completed: you lost (mutant rabbit (lv0) skinned x1) and acquired (weed x1)].

"perfect, I can also sell some water, at this point I could use some rope or at least string."

[seller: Red Crescent

item: water x 50ML

price: rope x 1M

optional: string x 2M

stock: 4]

This should be enough, now I just have to wait for someone to buy it'.

some people sent me messages asking me to lower the price or wanting to exchange it for wood or earth units, I decided I had to bother with that and just ignored them.

I relaxed for a moment in the warmth of the campfire while thinking about what I have left to do.

"next is to... place the long logs surrounding the shelter to act as beams".

my plan for the shelter is to reinforce it with wooden beams and mud walls.

'the goal is to transform this wooden box into a house or cabin more or less adequate to survive the winter'.

"well, that's enough rest for now, first I'm going to finish what I was doing".

[transaction completed: you have lost (water x 200ML) and acquired (curda x 3M) and (thread x 2M)].

I smile at the notification and return to the cold outside to finish my work.
