Chapter 17: The Scene Is Too Beautiful

Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching glanced at Mr. Zhou with some confusion: "What? Do you have some unspeakable troubles?"Mr. Zhou held his forehead with his hand: "Sigh, I studied civil engineering just out of interest. My family rents out a few buildings, so that’s enough to get by. Of course, I’m too lazy to work."

"..." Grandpa Qian tilted his head: "If you stop boasting, we can have a proper chat."

"These days, no one believes the truth, but everyone believes lies." Mr. Zhou shrugged: "Let’s not talk about this; I’ll go ask Mage Fang Ka if there’s any paper and pen to draft the building plans."

"I feel my inspiration is bursting uncontrollably, I’ve already figured out how to build the Divine Hall!"

Staring at Mr. Zhou’s back, Grandpa Qian of Bone-Touching stroked his chin: "Based on my years of gaming experience, you can’t believe a single word from online folks."

Soon, Mr. Zhou arrived in front of Fang Ka.

He politely said to Fang Ka: "Mage Fang Ka, could you possibly provide me with some paper and pen? I need to draw up the building plans."

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Fang Ka nodded lightly: "Of course, it’s 1 Copper Coin and 1 point."

Upon hearing Fang Ka’s words, Mr. Zhou felt a toothache; didn’t this mean that his recent Magic Potion harvest would be immediately reclaimed?

However, he quickly thought of a question.

That is, this team task rewards the pool based on individual contributions.

So, does this mean that his drawing of building plans is also a crucial contribution to this task?

Is that why it’s 1 point and 1 Copper Coin? Instead of providing it for free?

Thinking of this, Mr. Zhou immediately snapped back, feeling a bit excited in his heart.

If that’s the case, then this is definitely a surefire win.

So he nodded right away: "Alright, Mage Fang Ka."

Seeing this, Fang Ka said no more, directly deducted 1 point and 1 Copper Coin from Mr. Zhou, then stepped towards the Ancient Castle.

Very soon, he brought out what Mr. Zhou needed.

A quill, half a bottle of ink, and two large sheets of white paper.

Looking at the items Fang Ka brought out, Mr. Zhou carefully took them: "Seems like I guessed right; this must be a crucial part of personal contribution, it’s so challenging..."

"It’s time to test my hard skills, this really doesn’t allow for any mistakes."

He moved to the side, spread the white paper on the smooth tiles in front of the Ancient Castle, and began sketching squat.

His pen flew swiftly, without a hint of hesitation.

Because he had already structured the entire Divine Hall in his mind.

Curious players gathered around out of interest.

Flatulence watched Mr. Zhou quickly sketch the building plans on the white paper and marveled: "This game truly prides itself on realism, even building a house is so detailed."

"This allows us to experience the entire process of building a house completely."

"It’s not like other games’ one-click fabrication fake experiences, truly impressive."

"And Zhou, your skills are impressive. Even I, an outsider, think it’s amazing."

Mr. Zhou didn’t have the leisure to reply, still focused intently on drawing.

At this time, Flatulence saw Sea Flip coming over, so he hurriedly went up to him: "Somersault, are you a chef in reality?"

"Actually daring enough to take on Mage Fang Ka’s cooking task?"

Hearing Flatulence’s question, Sea Flip nodded slightly, placing a hand around Flatulence’s neck: "I’m not a chef, but my dad is."

"He taught me to cook since I was young, and I’ve been cooking for the family since I was seven."

"I’ve learned 99% of his culinary skills. Although I didn’t become a chef later for personal reasons, I still have great confidence in my cooking skills."

Flatulence, hearing this, couldn’t help but give a thumbs up: "Awesome, didn’t see that coming, you’re quite deep."

"When you become successful, don’t forget to look after your bro."

Sea Flip patted his chest: "Haha, Brother Pi, rest assured, we get along so well. When I become a God in this game, I’ll definitely take you with me."

"But, for hidden talents, Old Zhou takes the cake; just look at those building plans, they’re simply brilliant—a definite high-caliber talent!"

"Mm-mm," Flatulence nodded in agreement: "Truly impressive, just look, there’s not been a single mistake, very professional."

After finishing the Divine Hall plans, Mr. Zhou contentedly picked up the drafts and examined them several times.

Then he nodded to himself and spoke: "Hmm, they look decent, as for the kitchen plans..."

Saying this, Mr. Zhou looked up at Sea Flip beside him: "Somersault, since you’re a chef, I think, right, the kitchen design should definitely seek your opinion."

"What do you like?"

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s question, Sea Flip slightly pondered and then looked up: "Actually, I don’t have much in the way of demands, but since Mage Fang Ka wants something a bit grand, I have some ideas."

"Of course, you can just listen, and if you don’t like them, you don’t have to adopt them."

"First, since we’re all Skeletons, I think there’s no need to worry about warmth, and as for the kitchen, ventilation is crucial."

"So, instead of setting a pillar in each of four corners and using those four pillars as base points, how about capping it off at the top."

"Add some intricate decorations on the top, what do you think?"


"Time-saving, labor-saving, and elegant."

After hearing Sea Flip’s plans, Mr. Zhou wanted to roll his eyes, but unfortunately, he was a Skeleton, so he could only sigh slightly:

"Are you planning to cook inside a pavilion? Have you considered a problem?"

"This indeed has very good ventilation, but the spot Mage Fang Ka designated for the kitchen is right next to the side of the Ancient Castle."

"If when the wind blows, all the cooking fumes drift right to the entrance of the Ancient Castle as you’re cooking..."

"We’ve all noticed Fang Ka often likes sitting at the entrance reading books; do you think, if those fumes reach him, his favorability towards you might decrease?"

"After all, we all know this game’s details are exceptionally well done, exceptionally real."

Hearing Mr. Zhou’s words, Sea Flip was instantly enlightened and quickly waved his hands: "Wow, Old Zhou, you’re still the reliable one."

"Indeed, it takes an expert to see the essential points; people like me just have random thoughts."

"Cooking fumes choking Mage Fang Ka...I can’t even imagine how wonderful that scene would be."
