That evening, the women, dressed in the clean clothes that Lin Feng had "lent" them, sat around a small fire in their cave, sharing the dried meat and roasted sweet potato cakes they had exchanged with Lin Feng.

Warm clothes, clean bodies, and the anticipation of a relatively stable food source and regular bathing in the future brought them an unprecedented sense of ease and joy.

"I never imagined we'd have days like this."

Qian Xiaoxiao stroked the soft fabric of her clothes and sighed, "If only things could stay like this forever."

“Yes,” Ruan Mengtian nodded, “Although we are still in this desolate wilderness, it is much better than when we first arrived. All of this is thanks to Lin Feng.”

Su Wanqing stared at the flickering flames, her eyes somewhat unfocused: "You tell me... who exactly is Lin Feng? He knows so many things we've never even heard of, and he can create so many magical items out of thin air. He's like... like an omnipotent god."

"Gods?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Lan frowned slightly, then smiled with relief, "Perhaps. At least for us, he does indeed hold our lives and fate in his hands."

She paused, looked at everyone, and her tone became serious, "Sisters, we owe everything we have today to Lin Feng's kindness. We must work even harder for him in the future to make him happy, so that our lives can get better and better."

"Sister Qin Lan is right!"

Tang Bao immediately chimed in, her admiration for Lin Feng running deep. "We must do our best and not let Lin Feng down!"

The others nodded in agreement.

Just then, Qian Xiaoxiao blinked and whispered, with a hint of tentative anticipation and fantasy, "You guys think... if we... if we could become the mistress of this wooden house... wouldn't that... wouldn't that mean we could use that hot spring every day?"

As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the cave instantly became somewhat subtle.

The other women were stunned, and then their faces showed different expressions.

A complex light flashed in Su Wanqing's eyes. She gently shook her head: "Xiaoxiao, don't overthink it. How could we possibly be worthy of someone like Mr. Lin Feng?"

“Yes,” Ruan Mengtian said softly, “We are already very satisfied to be able to work for him in exchange for food and a stable life. The mistress of the house… is too far away.”

However, Qian Xiaoxiao's words were like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, stirring up ripples in the hearts of every woman.

Become the lady of this wooden house?

This idea was undoubtedly very tempting to them.

They were once outstanding figures in the civilized world, either high-profile female celebrities or internet celebrities with countless fans.

They too once had their own pride and ambition.

But after months of life-or-death trials and arduous survival in this cruel, primitive wilderness, their former pride and ambition have been worn away by reality.

Survival, and to live more comfortably, has become their most urgent desire.

What would it mean to become Lin Feng's woman and the mistress of this wooden house?

It means being able to completely get rid of hunger and cold, it means having a warm and comfortable place to live, and it means being able to enjoy clean hot water and delicious food every day.

It means that you can get the protection of this powerful man and gain a real sense of security in this dangerous wilderness.

This temptation is fatal to them.

Qin Lan's heart was also stirred. She knew better than anyone else how powerful and unfathomable Lin Feng was.

For this small group of women, establishing a deeper relationship with such a man would undoubtedly be the most secure guarantee.

But she also knew that Lin Feng's aloof personality meant he was not easily swayed.

Over the next few days, Lin Feng began building toilets.

What he wanted was not just a latrine to shelter him from the wind and rain, but a true indoor bathroom that could completely isolate filth and flush it away with water, the core of which was an efficient and convenient flush toilet.

Once this idea took root in his mind, the related knowledge poured out like a flood.

From the oldest siphon principle to various toilet structures such as flush and vortex siphon, from ceramic firing processes to pipe design, water tank construction, and even the principle of simple septic tanks, countless drawings, data, and processes appeared in his mind.

"It's feasible!" Excitement gleamed in Lin Feng's eyes.

He has successfully fired bricks and ceramic pipes, and even mastered the basics of glassmaking and gold processing. Although a flush toilet is complex, it is not out of reach.

In the days that followed, Lin Feng directed the women to expand his wooden house into a small room next to the bedroom, according to his drawings. The excavation of the foundation and the construction of the mixed stone and brick walls proceeded methodically under his strict supervision.

At the same time, Lin Feng personally began preparing the top-grade clay needed to fire the core components of the toilet and the sewage pipes.

The deep, bluish-gray, pure clay from these western marshlands is meticulously crushed, washed, settled, and drained to produce a mud paste as smooth as fat. This mud paste is then placed in a specially made cellar for a long period of "aging" to achieve optimal plasticity.

Lin Feng spread out a huge animal hide and meticulously drew the design of a golden toilet with a charcoal pencil.

He decided to use a siphon flush design to ensure powerful flushing and effective odor control. The toilet body will be a perfect combination of ceramic and gold—with an internal S-shaped water trap and a complex flushing channel.

He plans to use the finest clay to ensure its functionality and durability; the entire outer surface of the toilet, the seat, and even the tank will be covered in gold or cast as a single piece.

"This is not just a toilet; it will be a work of art, a symbol of power."

A confident smile curved Lin Feng's lips.

The huge nugget of gold, catalyzed by the knowledge of precious metal processing surging in his mind, has been transformed into pieces that gleam with dazzling golden light.

He even devised a plan on how to utilize gold's high ductility to create a seamless gold shell that would encase the ceramic liner, and how to cast a gold water tank with exquisite reliefs.

In order to fire high-quality ceramic liners and sturdy drainage ceramic pipes, Lin Feng upgraded his kiln again, enabling it to reach higher temperatures and more uniform firing.

When the top-quality clay was ready, Lin Feng personally took charge, using great patience and skill to create the ceramic liner for the toilet.

The curvature of the S-shaped water trap and the smoothness of the internal water channels are all meticulously crafted to achieve perfection.

After a long period of air drying and meticulous trimming, the ceramic inner liner, coated with a special glaze, is sent into the kiln.

During this firing process, Lin Feng stayed by the fire closely, using his extensive experience to precisely control the temperature.

Several hours later, as the kiln cooled, a light blue ceramic inner liner with a smooth glaze and perfect structure was successfully removed from the kiln.

While the ceramic inner liner was being fired, Lin Feng began making the gold components.

He cut the desired portion from the enormous nugget of gold and melted it in a specially made crucible. In the raging flames, the dull gold was transformed back into dazzling molten gold.

Using his previous experience in making tableware, combined with the more complex precious metal casting process in his mind, he first used refractory materials to make molds for the toilet shell, seat, and tank.

Then, he carefully poured the molten gold into the mold.

To ensure the exquisite craftsmanship and sturdiness of the gold components, he employed separate casting and precision welding (utilizing the low-temperature self-melting property of gold) or riveting methods for some structurally complex parts.

He also plans to have his own personal totem symbolizing the sun and fire engraved on the surface of the gold tank.

The women were ordered to stay away from the area where gold mining was taking place.

They could only see Lin Feng's figure working busily in the firelight from afar, and smell the unique scent of melting metal, their hearts filled with awe and incomprehension.

They couldn't imagine what these heavy gold pieces would become in Lin Feng's hands.

In the following period, Lin Feng used gold and a small amount of brass that he had previously refined to make it precise and durable.

The levers, pistons, and seals (made from tanned animal hides and resilient rattan fibers) have all been carefully polished and adjusted.

For the sewage pipes, he used thickened fired ceramic pipes with smooth inner walls, and the joints were sealed with a special clay mixture of hemp fiber and pine resin asphalt.

The septic tank has been excavated and constructed according to his design, downwind of the wooden house and water source.

After all the gold parts had cooled, been polished, and gleamed, Lin Feng began the final assembly.

He carefully embedded the perfectly fired ceramic inner liner into the gold outer shell, sealing the joint with a special material to ensure a perfect fit.

The gold-plated toilet seat is connected to the toilet body and is so shiny it reflects your image.

The gold water tank, fixed to the bathroom wall, also shone with a dazzling light.

Women were allowed into the partially completed bathroom to assist with moving and installation.

When they first saw the toilet, made entirely of gold and gleaming in the sunlight, they were collectively speechless.

Qian Xiaoxiao opened her mouth wide, her eyes wide open, almost popping out of their sockets.

She rubbed her eyes hard, wondering if she was dreaming.

Even though Su Wanqing came from a wealthy family and was used to luxury, she was still stunned by the unimaginable creation before her.

She murmured, "This...this is...a bathroom? Made of...made of gold?"

Qin Lan remained relatively calm, but her clenched fists and rapid breathing betrayed her inner shock.

She couldn't understand why someone would use such precious gold to make something that... was used to dispose of filth.

This completely overturned her understanding of luxury and practicality.

"Be careful, don't scratch it." Lin Feng's indifferent voice broke the silence.

Afterwards, under Lin Feng's direction, the women, with extremely mixed feelings, carefully connected and secured the gold toilet to the drain pipe. The gold water tank was also connected to the toilet's flush outlet via a curved gold pipe.

With everything ready, Lin Feng personally drew clean water from the hot spring's storage system and poured it into the golden water tank.

He gripped the gold handle, which was intricately engraved, and pulled hard!

"Whoosh—Boom!"

A powerful jet of water gushes out from the gold tank, swirling down the smooth gold inner wall (actually a ceramic liner), carrying simulated "dirt" (a few leaves), and cleanly rushes into the S-shaped water trap, disappearing into the sewage pipe.

When the water flow stops, a section of clear water seal is automatically retained in the S-bend, where the luster of gold and the crystal clarity of the water complement each other.

"Perfect."

Lin Feng nodded in satisfaction.

Next, he closed the door and enjoyed the private, clean, and extremely luxurious space all to himself.
