Luo Yu said, “Get lost!”

After saying that, he closed the chat window and chatted privately with a fellow called Ao Fu from the Barbaric Bull Clan.

Luo Yu said, “Brother, I’ll exchange your 400 ice cubes with something else. How about that?”

Ao Fu asked, “What can you exchange?”

Luo Yu asked, “What do you want?”

Ao Fu: “Vegetables, fruits, or pets. Good-looking female pets are fine too.”

“The kind that takes human form!”

Luo Yu: “Bro, you want to exchange a few pieces of ice for a humanoid pet? And it has to be a good-looking female? Has your brain been kicked by a donkey?”

Ao Fu said, “If you have it, then exchange it. Are we still going to discuss it?”

Luo Yu thought for a moment and replied with a faint smile, “I definitely don’t have a female pet, and I won’t give you fruits and vegetables, but I can give you hope!”

“Do you know that there’s a chance of hatching a human-shaped birdman from a bird egg?”

Ao Fu: “Birdman?”

“Do you have eggs that can hatch into female birdmen?”

Luo Yu: “I have an egg of a Burning Fire Bird!”

“Brother, I’m an honest person. I can’t guarantee that this bird egg can hatch a birdman. Even if there’s a high chance of hatching a birdman, it might not be a female birdman.”

“But there is hope!”

“A hope to gamble with the Heavenly Dao!”

Ao Fu said, “You… What you said seems to make sense. What about the bird egg? Let me take a look.”

A trading interface was sent over, and Luo Yu simply placed one of the bird egg.

[Burning Fire Bird Egg: About to hatch]

Ao Fu said, “It’s about to hatch? How about this? I’ll exchange 200 ice cubes with you!”

“200? The hope of a female birdman is only worth 200 ice cubes?”

Luo Yu said, “Forget it, I won’t change it. I will keep it for myself.”

After saying that, he closed the trading window.

As expected, Ao Fu immediately sent a message. “300! 300 ice cubes. This is the highest price I can offer.”

“No!”

Luo Yu appeared to be very decisive. For a moment, Ao Fu did not send any more messages.

It’s just that those from the Barbarian Bull Clan did not have much patience. In less than three seconds, Ao Fu sent another message. “Alright, 400 it is! I’ll risk my life for a female birdman!”

“Good lord, is he thinking with his lower body?”

Luo Yu laughed in his heart, but he fell silent.

The more he acted like this, the more impatient the other party became. He continuously sent messages. After three minutes of silence, Luo Yu replied, “Sigh, I always feel that I will regret trading with you.”

Ao Fu said, “Brother, I beg you. I’ll give you all the ice. I’ll add another carrot, okay?”

“Well …”

Luo Yu said, “Alright, we can make a deal.”

Soon, the trading page came over. As expected, there were 400 units of ice and a carrot. Luo Yu simply placed the bird egg on it.

[Deal completed! Please choose the area where the ice is placed.]

Overjoyed, Luo Yu chose to place the ice cubes outside the house. His vision blurred, and 400 ice cubes were piled up squarely. Each ice cube was basically the size of a lunch box.

This was enough for a small underground icehouse.

Ao Fu said, “Brother, let’s not talk about anything else. I’m going to incubate the eggs. If there really is a female birdman, I’ll give you a carrot every day!”

“Thank you, thank you!”

Luo Yu said, “That’s easy. Remember to use the soft parts of your body to incubate it. Don’t break the egg!”

Ao Fu: “Sigh! Thank you, brother. I won’t talk anymore. I’m leaving!”

The chat window closed. Luo Yu did not waste any time. After choosing a location, he started digging!

Luo Yu was very strong, and the Heavenly Crafting Saber was very efficient in digging. As he dug, he quickly dug a passageway and a square hole about four meters deep with an area of about twenty square meters.

He opened the construction page and spent some ordinary stone bricks and silver to build a small cellar!

After placing the ice cubes one by one and covering it with a stone cover, the surrounding temperature instantly decreased.

Luo Yu felt extremely comfortable in the dark environment of the icehouse.

There were at least 2,000 units of meat and vegetables stored here. There was no need to worry about expiration dates in the summer!

After climbing out of the icehouse, Luo Yu calculated the surroundings of the icehouse and said to himself with a smile, “When the time comes, I’ll build a warehouse above the icehouse. It’ll be convenient to block the sun. Perfect.”

He had already planned it.

Since he had exchanged a bird egg for so much ice, Luo Yu had saved at least seven to eight thousand silver. Thinking of the situation last night, he decided to spend five thousand silver to add points.

Fang Yumeng and the others’ train of thought was actually very correct. Only with a high physique could they resist illnesses and their injuries would recover faster. At the same time, they would be able to work for a longer time.

Physique was the support of everything.

5,000 silver could buy 5 attribute points. After thinking for a while, Luo Yu added 2 Strength and 3 Physique.

Only when one’s strength was high could they use a javelin to stab that strange fish to death!

He looked at the interface.

Strength: 23

Physique: 30

Agility: 27

Currently, he still had more than 5,000 silver coins. He would save them for mercenary technology.

After sorting out his thoughts, what he lacked the most now was still stone. The wall, warehouse, and big villa all needed a huge number of rocks to support them. Luo Yu went to the mine again.

In the dim environment, he slashed down with his pickaxe.

[Hundredfold Critical Hit triggered]

Following the swing was a hundred black spotted stones. This time, a large pile of stones appeared.

[You have +1 Strength from mining activities.]

“Beautiful.”

The corners of Luo Yu’s mouth curled up. After holding on for a few days, he gained another attribute point.

His sharp gaze swept across the pile of rocks and indeed, he discovered three Earth-digging Worms!

There was nothing else to say. Tame!

After a series of operations, there were three more Earth-digging Worms. This time, there were seven worms. One worm’s mining ability was equivalent to an ordinary human with Mining LV1. This was equivalent to seven people working for Luo Yu for nothing.

After digging for two hours in the morning and spending an hour cutting stones to build a wall, the total length of the wall was now 170 meters. It were getting closer and closer to the goal of 400 meters!

During lunch, the seven Earth-digging Worms also crawled out and waited to be fed.

After Luo Yu gave them a few pieces of meat, he realized that as the number of Earth-digging Worms in the base increased, the food supply became tight again.

These worms did not eat vegetables or grass, so he had to think of a way to get some meat.

He went to the auction house to take a look. The general price of meat was much lower than vegetables, but it was still very expensive.

Speaking of which, there were many restrictions in this auction house. All the restrictions should be to prevent the reselling of items and the appearance of merchants.

Going to the auction house to buy meat now would definitely be a waste. Currently, there were three ways to get food.

The first was hunting.

Small animals would sometimes pop up on the grassland, such as field mice, rats, squirrels, and so on. If one were lucky, one would even encounter rabbits, but the chances were very low.

It was difficult to find such animals, and Luo Yu did not want to eat rats…
