100: Chapter 100 Construction of the Secret Realm, New Home
After testing the various abilities of Benboba and the others, Mo Yufei looked toward the camp.
The eastern side of the camp bordered the expanded large lake, and the small river had swelled several times over, turning into a wide river that ran north to south, dividing the plain in two.
The Commander was coordinating the entire scene, dispatching all mechanical units to begin work.
Da Pao and Er Pao were equipped with high-energy laser arrays, precisely cutting down the surrounding swathes of trees. The trees fell neatly, undamaged and intact, all recovered as high-quality lumber for construction.
Eva and Miaomiao swept low over the area around the camp, their fine lasers clearing away all weeds, thorns, and vines, leaving the ground instantly clean and level.
Walle and Dali continued to compact the raised soil layers, heavy shockwaves repeatedly crushing the ground, making the entire foundation dense and hard.
A-Piao and Afu shuttled across the site, dismantling all abandoned vehicles, damaged machinery, and scrap metal parts. The recovered metal materials were uniformly melted and organized, specifically for building reinforcement and facility modification.
After the site clearing and foundation work were completed, Walle submitted a full set of optimized architectural construction blueprints. After being reviewed and approved by the Commander, the blueprints were synchronized to Mo Yufei's smart bracelet.
Mo Yufei opened the blueprints, and his eyes lit up. The overall layout was grand and just right.
There was a three-story main hall, with a two-story side building on each side. The entire structure featured antique wood and stone architecture with precision mortise and tenon joints, flying eaves, and the warm, solid texture of natural wood.
Between the three buildings, enclosed carved aerial corridors were installed, connecting them level by level. The second-floor corridor of the main building connected horizontally to the left and right side buildings, eliminating the need to go downstairs and take a detour.
At the same time, inside each antique wooden building, a hidden, silent, intelligent elevator was embedded. The quaint wooden walls perfectly encased the elevator structure, with no visual dissonance.
On the first floor of the main building, a large, high-ceilinged, detached-style living room was spacious and elegant, offering a wide view. Inside the living room were several high-quality ornamental fish tanks brought back from The Apocalypse. The wooden hall paired with the high-tech fish tanks from The Apocalypse created a strong, atmospheric contrast between the ancient and the modern.
Next to the living room was a separate bathroom with dry and wet separation and a temperature-controlled shower room, fully equipped. Adjacent to the living room was a large integrated kitchen and an independent dining room.
In addition to embedding all the full sets of kitchen appliances and refrigeration/freezing equipment brought from The Apocalypse, the kitchen had a core space reserved in the center for installing a purchased food synthesizer.
It could synthesize standard meals, nutritional meals, and energy supplements with a single click, completely solving daily dietary needs. It was time-saving and efficient, perfectly suited for long-term solitary life in the Secret Realm.
A separate tool room was set up to the side, neatly storing all maintenance, exploration, and construction equipment parts.
The second floor of the main building was Mo Yufei's exclusive private living and cultivation area. The entire floor contained only one oversized master bedroom, which featured embedded intelligent, temperature-controlled home appliances from The Apocalypse, ensuring comfortable living. On the side of the floor, a quiet meditation and cultivation area was reserved, with superior spiritual energy gathering effects.
The third floor of the main building was designated as a high-end combat readiness and core material zone. It featured an oversized temperature-controlled material warehouse specifically for storing spiritual materials, spiritual herbs, pills, and various supplies, as well as an enclosed intelligent armory for storing all firearms, superpower equipment, and combat armor.
The left side building focused on cultivation and storage. The first floor was a sealed, moisture-proof, temperature-controlled granary for storing grain, seeds, and long-term living supplies. The second floor was a spiritual plant cultivation room, equipped with a spiritual energy gathering array and temperature/humidity control systems.
The right side building focused on spiritual beast leisure and habitat. The first floor was an oversized lounge hall exclusive to the spiritual beasts, with an extremely spacious area specifically provided for the five spiritual beasts—Dabai, Xiaohei, Xiaobai, Xue Rong, and Benboba—to move, rest, and play.
The second floor was a private entertainment room with a minimalist layout, provided for Mo Yufei to relax and rejuvenate in his spare time.
The perimeter of the building was equipped with necessary functional areas for the entire region. An enclosed intelligent garage was built on the ground to store all land off-road and transport vehicles, while the roof was fully hardened and reinforced to create a wide, level landing platform for aerial vehicles.
It could be used for charging and maintenance of that crescent-shaped airship, meeting the needs for aerial travel and combat readiness.
Mo Yufei was very satisfied with this plan. He slowly let his fingertip fall, confirming the final approval authority on the holographic architectural blueprints. The complete construction instructions were instantly synchronized and transmitted to the terminals of every machine and android in the camp.
From then on, the methodical construction officially began. Time was no longer a fleeting moment but flowed slowly with the alternation of day and night, from the morning mist to the evening glow, with every day quietly advancing the formation of the new home.
Mo Yufei did not interfere too much with the specific construction details, watching that desolate flat land go from nothing to slowly developing foundations, erecting beams and columns, until a building slowly grew.
His mood also shifted from the initial simple anticipation to a deep sense of relief as the building's outline became clearer day by day, finally settling into the stability and peace of mind that belonged only to one person and five pets.
The vast Taoyuan Secret Realm was boundless. In this independent world, there was only him and his five spiritual beasts relying on and accompanying each other. A residence that could be lived in for a long time, was fully functional, and was secure enough was his most reassuring home in this world.
In the camp, all the androids and robots were operating according to the plan on the blueprints, alternating day and night and performing their respective duties.
The ten androids with different personalities meticulously organized building materials, pre-buried circuits, and checked equipment locations. Walle and Dali worked in turns, constantly compacting the soil, building stone foundations, and assembling the wooden frames.
The entire construction site was busy but not noisy. All procedures were steadily advancing under precise coordination, except for one exceptionally noisy figure that constantly circled above the camp.
Ever since construction began, Benboba had not been idle for a moment. It did not participate in the construction, nor could it offer any actual help, but it hovered in the high sky all day long, its little mouth constantly in command mode.
It looked down at the entire construction site from a high vantage point, occasionally shouting loudly at the busy Walle below. One moment it would say the angle of the lumber placement was not aesthetic enough, and the next it would remind Dali to be gentle when moving logs, for fear of damaging the building materials.
Even though Walle repeatedly used precise data to explain to it that the construction fully met the standards, Benboba continued to chatter away, acting like an experienced supervisor.
Days passed quietly in the day-after-day busyness. On the first day, the foundation of the entire camp was thoroughly compacted and reinforced, and the hard, level ground steadily supported the subsequent building construction.
On the second day, the stone bases of the three buildings were all completed, taking root squarely and neatly on the raised plain.
On the third day, the main wooden frames of the main building and the side buildings quickly rose, the layers of mortise and tenon joints locking together, and the prototype of the ancient and grand flying eaves slowly emerged.
As the construction period continued to advance, several days passed quietly. The three-story main structure of the main building was successfully topped out, and the two two-story side buildings were completed one after another.
The carved enclosed aerial corridors steadily connected the three buildings. The hidden elevators inside each building were tested and debugged, and the interior partition walls, pipelines, and circuits were all neatly laid out.
All household appliances collected from The Apocalypse were accurately embedded in preset positions according to the plan on the blueprints.
The multiple sets of ornamental fish tanks of various sizes were properly placed in the living room, and the food synthesizer installed in the center of the kitchen was in place.
The spacious spiritual beast lounge, granary, spiritual plant cultivation room, armory, laboratory, and entertainment room were all formed, and the ground garage and the roof landing platform for aerial vehicles also completed their final hardening treatment.
After several days of alternating sunrises and sunsets, the once desolate open space was completely transformed.
A massive building complex, fusing antique wood-stone structures with modern technological facilities, stood proudly in the center of the plain.
The north-facing, south-oriented position provided ample sunlight, and it bordered the wide lake and long river to the east, capturing the spiritual energy of the entire Secret Realm.
Mo Yufei looked at the magnificent and exquisite complete residence before him. The emotions in his heart went from the initial anticipation to relief, finally turning into peace from the bottom of his heart.
Alone in this world, with five spiritual beasts for company and a stable home, without having to be disturbed by the chaos of the outside world, this kind of life was already fulfilling enough.
Benboba above still refused to land, continuing to circle and chatter, commenting on the completed buildings, as if only by constantly speaking could it prove that it had participated in the construction of this home from beginning to end.
