Chapter 39 – House Lv.10
This island, with its abundant nature, is covered with forests and many trees grow here. Apparently, the island seems to be special. According to Havamar, the ‘trees’ will grow where they are needed within a week. That’s why it doesn’t seem to matter how much I cut down.
“This place is good. It’s time to knock down some wood.”
“Then I’ll use my support skill right away!”
Skor cast her new skill on me. She held her hand over me and I was enveloped in a mysterious green aura.
“Oh”
“It’s Kirie and Gloria. It’s not a big boost, but it’s better than nothing.”
“My movement speed is increased. This is helpful.”
“That’s great!”
Just increasing my walking speed alone can improve my efficiency. As soon as I started walking, I found that I could walk faster than usual, no, it was almost like running.
I mow down a large tree with “Gale Tulle”.
“Oriyaaaaa!!!”
Normally, a pickaxe is used to crush rocks and such, but Gale Tulle is different. It is an all-purpose pickaxe that can knock down trees, break stones, and dig soil. 1TN: I might have been wrong in my translation. I think the pickaxe is knocking the trees down rather than cutting them. But I’m still not sure. Sorry about that.
When I hit a tree with it, the tree fell and dropped as “wood”. It is automatically collected in the item box. From this, I am able to get 25-50 pieces of wood thanks to the effect of Gale Tulle.
When I checked, it had really increased.
Wood x63 -> Wood x80
It seems that I obtained “17 pieces” from that. This is amazing! Until now, it was usually just 1 to 5, but to get this many at once… At this rate, the island level will exceed ’10’ by the end of today.
Moreover, thanks to Skor’s support magic, both my power and movement speed have increased, even if it was only by 1%, it was better than nothing. It was a big help.
“It’s amazing, Rasty-san! The path is now clear.”
“Ah, it’s easier to access the lake… in other words, it’s also part of the road development.”
The lake wasn’t far away, but the trees were in the way. If I make a road, we can draw water. I continued to clear the trees towards the hot spring.
Mowing down trees one after another, I obtain a large amount of wood. I continued to make progress. Occasionally, I took a break and received healing from Skorl to recover. We also chatted and deepened our relationship.
I was so focused on the work that before I knew it, it was already evening. Oops, I got too absorbed in it.
“…Phew, I’m tired.”
“Right. We’ve got enough. Let’s move on to strengthening.”
“Okay. I’ll start preparing dinner.”
We said goodbye in front of the house, and I stood in front of the entrance.
Let’s strengthen the “house” right away.
The number of materials required for strengthening is 100. Using the “Uninhabited Island Development Skill”, it seemed like the house would level up.
I activate the skill.
Wood x1277 → Wood x1177
House Lv.1 → House Lv.2
Wow, it really leveled up.
The appearance has changed a little, and the size seemed to have changed slightly. Alright, let’s strengthen it all at once.
House Lv.2 → House Lv.10
I used 800 pieces of wood. There are 377 pieces left, but the appearance of the house has been greatly strengthened, and it felt like it could easily withstand a typhoon.
With this, the uninhabited island has finally become “Lv.17”. I can finally use the “worktable”!
TN: In case you miss the footnote. A minor mistake in the translation: Pickaxe knocks down trees, not cut them. This applies to all previous chapters. Though, I’m not sure about this.
