Cluck cluck cluck

The young rooster has started crowing again.

But Han Qiwu could hear that it wasn’t very energetic.

Their owner can eat those kinds of eggs again.

Jealous.

Wait, what am I jealous of?

The chicken coop money is ready, only lacking about twenty materials.

Today I, Han Qiwu, shall raise chickens!

I want to hear crowing from my own coop!

After quickly glancing at the log, Han Qiwu got up and went to watch TV.

Wait, didn’t watch TV yesterday.

Such a loss!

Making up for it, Han Qiwu grabbed a piece of paper and wrote down four large characters with a marker: "Watch More TV."

He stuck the note on the door handle so he’d see it as soon as he left.

After finishing that task, Han Qiwu turned on the TV.

[Weather Forecast]

Tomorrow will be sunny; enjoy the fun of watering!

[Life Tips]

Even the trash you fish up has special uses; remember to sort it when storing. If you don’t know how to sort it, you can ask directly: "What kind of trash are you?"

[Almanac]

Good for unlocking treasures, bad for marriages

Han Qiwu already knew about the sunny weather tomorrow from the dried fruits, but this life tip? Putting aside its truthfulness, the more he read, the more it sounded like an insult.

Forget it for now; the information from the almanac interested Han Qiwu the most.

No weddings allowed? What does that have to do with me?

Treasure unlocking, my friends!

The treasure chest and crystal orb haven’t been opened yet.

Without hesitation, Han Qiwu took out the treasure chest, placed it on the table, and forcefully pried it open.

Clink clink clink

[Congratulations on obtaining 2333 Gold Coins from the treasure chest]

Though it wasn’t even half full, Han Qiwu was already quite satisfied.

Used to it.

Such a bittersweet phrase.

After watching TV, Han Qiwu decided to hang up the dried fruits. Upon picking them up, he discovered that the wild scallions had already dried.

[Dried Wild Scallions]

[Stamina +10]

[HP +6]

[Note: Hard to imagine what use dried wild scallions have. Did you think this was instant noodles?]

Han Qiwu: "..."

I just like drying wild scallions! Even if the effects decrease, I still enjoy drying them! Problem?

Han Qiwu had dried three wild scallions in total, and each one’s attributes had slightly decreased from before drying.

No worries, he’d keep them to eat during winter.

Han Qiwu set the dried raspberries and wild leeks to dry again, then walked into the yard to start watering.

While watering, Han Qiwu made a special observation of the scarecrow. Perhaps it was due to the coal, as the scarecrow’s body was very dry.

Thanks to the scarecrow, Han Qiwu’s crops were safe.

The twelve cauliflower plants had sprouted green shoots, the five potato plants had blossomed white flowers, the five peanut plants were growing well, and the three string bean plants were showing average growth but had started developing long vines on their trellises.

What a thriving springtime scene.

Calculating the time, the peanuts and potatoes were planted on the 3rd, so if they mature in ten days, that means the 13th — only four days left.

Exciting!

Once the peanuts are harvested, I can make nitrogen fertilizer!

Once the potatoes are harvested, I’ll have potato shreds, mashed potatoes, potato buns, and potato stew with everything!

That’s all for later though. Right now, the most important thing is gathering materials.

Following the spirit of Bald Strong, charge ahead!

Unfortunately, Bald Strong uses a chainsaw, while Han Qiwu uses an axe.

Before he could even get going, Han Qiwu’s phone rang:

"If this is your excuse for breaking up~"

Answering the call, it turned out his anti-bee clothing had arrived.

After picking up the package, Han Qiwu set it aside, telling himself to deal with the chicken coop first. It wasn’t like that huge beehive could escape, right?

The big spot on the map had been flashing all morning!

As if afraid I wouldn’t notice!

From a little after 6 AM to a bit past 11 AM, Han Qiwu finally gathered enough materials.

Of course, that’s also because he went out foraging midway.

No choice, his stamina wasn’t enough.

Given the time constraints, Han Qiwu held back his impatience and had a grilled eel rice lunch at home before heading to the breeding farm to buy the chicken coop and chicks.

At the breeding farm, Han Qiwu went straight past the security guard to the trading area.

Yang Yangyang was still the one assisting him.

"Let me see the catalog." Han Qiwu said outright upon meeting him.

"Sure, have you eaten? I cooked some dishes myself; want to try?" Yang Yangyang asked warmly.

"Thanks, but no." Han Qiwu waved his hand and picked up the catalog, with system notifications popping up simultaneously.

[Build Farm Facilities]

[Purchase Offspring]

Han Qiwu selected the first option, Build Farm Facilities.

[Basic Chicken Coop]

[Can house chicks: 6]

[Materials Required: Wood (101/100), Stone (100/100), Money (7304/4000)]

[Note: Start raising chickens today!]

[Would you like to purchase the Basic Chicken Coop?]

"Tsk tsk, this system is too realistic." Han Qiwu clicked his tongue. "Purchase Basic Chicken Coop."

[Congratulations! You successfully purchased the Basic Chicken Coop. It will appear in your yard tomorrow morning. Please select a 3×6 plot to build the coop.]

Luckily, Han Qiwu had cleared quite a few plots over the past two days by chopping wood and smashing stones. He chose a spot on the map that was downwind of his house.

Just in case there’s a smell.

Once successfully placed, Han Qiwu selected the Purchase Offspring option again.

[Please wait until the Chicken Coop is built to purchase offspring.]

Han Qiwu: "....."

Do you really have to make it this complicated?

On second thought, it kind of made sense. If the coop wasn’t ready, where would the chicks sleep at night?

Rechi Korba.

Resigned, Han Qiwu handed the manual back to Yang Yangyang.

Not that I don’t want to support your work — the system is just throwing hurdles at me.

Sorry, Hengyuanxiang.

No, no.

Sorry, Yang Yangyang.

"I’ll think it over some more, but let me add you on WeChat so I can contact you later." Han Qiwu took out his phone proactively.

"No worries, raising animals is risky; being cautious is actually a good thing. Haven’t you heard that saying? No matter how rich you are, it’s not counted if it’s covered in fur." Yang Yangyang said enthusiastically, trying to console him.

After adding WeChat, Han Qiwu left the breeding farm and returned home.

Wild honey, here I come!

He opened the package, and just figuring out how to put the anti-bee suit on took twenty minutes.

Layer upon layer, it was quite complicated.

But the more complicated, the better! The more complicated it was, the safer Han Qiwu felt!

Once suited up, Han Qiwu tore a large pile of green branches from the tree in his yard and tied them onto his electric scooter.

Preparations complete, it was time to set out!

Luckily, it was lunchtime, so there were hardly any people on the road. Even the villagers working in the fields had gone home to eat.

When he arrived at the small grove, Han Qiwu parked his scooter right next to the grove, leaving the keys in, ready to escape at any time.

After confirming his anti-bee suit was secure, Han Qiwu carefully walked into the grove, being cautious throughout to avoid sharp branches or leaves tearing his suit.
