Volume 1 - CH 19

The house was built fast enough to leave me dumbfounded. It even had a door and wooden windows nicely in place. …If I had some sand, construction technique claimed to be able to even make some windows.

…No no. Nuh uh!

I tried giving the wooden house a few tackles. It was completely unaffected. I didn’t think it would be too stable as a log house on top of the ground, but it seemed as solid as a house with a proper foundation.

I also remained undisturbed by a shot of wind magic. I went inside and tried simulating rain with water magic, but there wasn’t even a single leak. I opened the wooden window and looked outside. Everything was perfect. Are you serious?

It’s pretty weird to just make a house this easily. This skill is just too convenient. After that I checked construction technique and made furniture for the inside.

Though I say that the inside wasn’t particularly big, so I stopped at making a dresser, table, chair, and a bed.

My house was finished within two hours. I felt a bit moved that I assembled it all myself and lied down on my empty bedframe.

I could finally lay down on a bed… I thought, but I can’t make anything like a mattress. I lack the needed recourses for it. Well, it’s entirely different from having to weather the elements.

I was feeling pretty satisfied for now… but this isn’t enough. I want to roll the gacha a few more times in April. Or maybe I want to leave a few points for the next gacha.

Whatever I want, I need to go hunt some monsters for points. I left my house and opened my map so I could search for some monsters.

I guess I’ll check out the area beyond where the honey bears live for today. There might be new monsters over there.

When I arrived at the honey bear territory I activated perception technique. I could tell where the monsters in the surrounding were. There were some honey bears in front of me, but I had no reason to go out of my way to hunt them.

I continued north with that in mind. Every once in a while I checked my surroundings for monsters with perception technique. The number of honey bears was increasing. Further south there was a mix of honey bears and poison bees, but up here it was just honey bears.

I guess if I continue further a new monster will come out? With that in mind I kept going until… I encountered a really lumpy beast.

I examined it with appraisal.

…I guess it’s a sheep monster. It had really sharp teeth and was eating some kind of meet. These guys eat meat? The look in its eye was also really bad. Quite the strong looking monster.

It’s a new monster. Did fang sheep move in herds? There were three of them around here.

Oh yeah, isn’t sheep wool a good material for making clothes and bedding? I checked construction technique to make sure. …Oh nice, looks like I can use fang sheep wool to make a mattress.

In that case I’ll hunt them here. I need to make some points too. With that in mind I raised my sword.

When I charged my sword with magic the fang sheep turned towards me. …They react early to magic!? While I was surprised, I quickly fired a slash at a fang sheep.

The fang sheep used its wool to block my slashing attack. How can it do that!? I didn’t have time to be surprised. The fang sheep charged in my direction.

There are three of them. Crap! I guess I should have only gone against one of them. I readied my sword and dodged the fang sheep’s charge.

The fang sheep pulled their breaks and turned back my way. I shot another slash attack at them, but they blocked it again.

Are you kidding me? My slashing attack is totally ineffective? Is my weapon week, or is my skill level low?

Oh crap oh crap. I appraised some of the remaining meat.

A- are you kidding? Honey bears are fang sheep food! The three of them came my way and I dodged them to the side.

…But I can see all their movements. They move really predictably. I don’t know which is stronger between fang sheep and honey bears, but I could still clearly tell that a honey bear was stronger individually.

I knew that the wool could defend against my slashing attack, so I had no choice but to aim at their wool free faces. I waited until the fang sheep came up really close before I stabbed one of them through its face with my sword before spinning out of the way.

The one I stabbed with my sword into made a squeal before tumbling through the dirt. I swiftly went up to it and pulled my sword from its body.

I brought my sword down on it for a finishing blow, thus ending one of them. As I thought, individually they’re a lot weaker than a honey bear.

The fang sheep charged at me again and I launched a slashing attack at one of them. Then, that one stopped its legs and received my attack with its wool. …I see, that’s how it is.

The fang sheep needs to brace its legs in order to receive my slashing attack. I figured it out after several shots, but the fang sheep were leaving really deep tracks in the dirt.

With that there was only one left charging at me. They aren’t really scary like that. I stabbed it like the one earlier and then finished it off while it was staggered. Only one left. The last fang sheep charged at me in rage, but by itself it wasn’t particularly threatening.

I matched its charge and stabbed it with my sword. I appraised the fang sheep once it stopped moving before letting out a sigh. …I also used perception technique. There didn’t seem to be any other monsters in the area.

I thought about collecting the materials from the fang sheep, but as expected it would be pretty hard to transport this much. It might be easier to make it into a mattress here, but can I do that?

For starters I collected the fang sheep wool. Then I activated construction technique. I could do it with construction technique, but tailoring technique was also seemed to be able to do it.

I could make either a mattress or a futon. I activated the skill and then I could designate where I wanted it.

…Ah, I see. It would be a pain to have those words in front of my eyes the whole time, but I can carry it like that.

…But it doesn’t seem like I can use any other skills like this. Well for now I guess I’ll head back to my base. With only some fang sheep meat, I made my way back to my base.
