Chapter 11 Division of Labor
Under Fang Bie's simple guidance, two people who had just arrived in this World and hadn't even figured out the situation were already engaged in intense labor.
Although they couldn't be considered lazy or ignorant of basic crops, they were definitely not too familiar with this kind of farming work.
Fang Bie also didn't need them to be too familiar with real-world work; this wasn't true reality. He only needed to have the two of them share the workload of opening up Fields and filling in earth and stones for him.
Tony, as someone who had just learned to use this Ability, was eagerly teaching his friend Ethan how to use this Ability. The two high-level materialist scholars were having a great time playing with this Magic-like Ability.
"Stop playing around, come quickly and help with farming! If you don't want to go hungry tomorrow!" Fang Bie said, half urging and half threatening, which also brought the two people who were engrossed in studying their new Abilities back to their senses.
The two of them couldn't help but blush, and hurriedly ran towards him.
Fang Bie conjured up two stone hoes as if by Magic. "Take these hoes, and use them on those soil Blocks.
Just hoe them simply, and the soil Blocks will turn into dry farmland, and then you can plant!"
He spent a morning digging out some iron and planting Sugarcane at the Foothill not far away. Afterward, he specifically used the stockpiled Stones and newly dug-out Soil to excavate and fill in the surrounding Mountain rocks.
After acquiring new stone Tools, his Speed could be considered to have made a qualitative breakthrough.
In just a short morning, he had laid out four 9x9 Fields, smoothed with Soil neatly. In the center of each Field, a space was left empty to hold Water.
In MC, if crops want to grow, they must have a water source nearby, because only a water source will make the farmland moist and suitable for planting.
And the expansion range of a water source is 4 Blocks, which is 4 meters.
Within this 4-meter range, a 9x9 Field, when adding length and width, is the maximum area that one Block of Water can reach.
Fang Bie's purpose in having them hoe the Fields was to open up these four Fields.
Adding in the extra set of Seeds he had obtained yesterday, he could guarantee that he would not lack Food for at least the next two weeks.
Both of them were extremely intelligent people, and they quickly understood Fang Bie's meaning.
Moreover, they didn't feel like they were doing hard labor at all; on the contrary, they found this kind of thing very novel and worked without any hesitation.
Fang Bie followed behind the two of them, scooped a bucket of Water and placed it in the center of the 9x9 Field, and then began to slowly scatter Seeds.
Almost the moment he put the Seeds down, young sprouts half a palm's height tall grew out of the Field that had just been moistened.
Tony and the other person quickly finished processing all four Fields, and, leaning on their hoes, they curiously watched everything in front of them, discussing with each other.
"This is truly a wonderful World, isn't it?"
"Hmm... if it weren't for the lack of Tools, I would really want to take apart the Things in this World to see. This has simply overturned my life!"
Fang Bie also heard their conversation, but he didn't have any special thoughts about it.
In fact, this was the normal reaction people should have. The two of them weren't his puppets; it was impossible for them to work silently without saying a word.
He raised his head, smiled at the two of them, and said, "The Rules of this World are very simple.
Once you have a clear understanding, I will take you to see other Things."
He paused slightly, then continued, "As for now, let's expand the House first, otherwise you two won't even have a place to sleep at Night."
"It's okay. The weather here is sunny, and it's not much worse than the Cave we slept in before.
Sleeping outside won't be a problem," Ethan said, his words considered understanding, but he was quickly refuted.
Fang Bie shook his head with a serious expression. "Since you are willing to stay here, then you are temporarily my companions.
I am not willing to let my companions be in danger."
"During Daytime on the Mountains, of course, it is very safe, but once Night arrives, all safe places will turn into hell!" His expression didn't change, but he was saying words that made the two people's hair stand on end.
"Around your bodies, some Monsters will randomly appear.
Some of them are Zombies, who will turn you into their kind. Some are Skeleton archers, whose Bow and Arrows can penetrate half a meter into the Soil.
Some are terrifying creepers, capable of generating powerful Explosions that will blow up everything within a radius of more than 10 meters!"
"If you don't want to be killed just as Night begins, you'd better stay in the Room honestly!" Fang Bie finished speaking in one breath, adding a layer of shadow to the two people's hearts.
Everyone was a psychologically healthy and normally perceptive adult, so of course, they couldn't fail to hear his warning.
However, they probably wouldn't fully believe his words until they saw a real Monster. As for now, they would believe half of it.
Fang Bie took out two sets of Wooden Planks and distributed them to the two people, also giving them an Axe each.
"You can tear down the wall with the Door, and then use the Wooden Planks I gave you to build a House, just like Building Block toys from childhood.
I believe it won't be difficult for you two to understand with your intelligence."
Tony played with the stone Axe in his hand, watched Fang Bie take out a Sword from his Backpack, and walk down the Mountain, asking, "Where are you going now?"
Fang Bie waved his hand. "I'm going down the Mountain to find some Food for you, and also to find some Wool to make two Beds for you."
The two people now basically understood the difference between this World and the real world, and they didn't continue to ask silly questions like how Wool is used to make Beds.
Instead, they pondered over the Tools in their Hands with great interest.
Fang Bie went down the Mountain very easily.
With someone's help today, he had already exceeded the target he had set for himself.
Although he had stockpiled a lot of Ingredients in the Box, before those Things in the Fields were truly grown, he still had to rely on his own Hands to obtain as much Food as possible.
He remembered that on the other side of the Mountain, in that Grassland, there should also be a flock of Sheep, and he had even occasionally heard the sound of cows.
So he strode towards that direction. There were still two or three hours before the Sun set, Time was plentiful.
He quickly started running.
The abundant Oxygen seemed to have improved his physical fitness by a level, and the Rules of the MC World, having become part of him, also gave him Abilities far beyond ordinary people.
He saw a herd of cows grazing on the Grass in the distance, chuckled, and said, "Beef, Leather, here I come!!"
