Chapter 24 Chapter 24 [The construction function has been automatically unlocked! ]...

Because there was no need to rush out and no special plans on this day.

So Ye Mian was a little lazy and waited until the last minute to wash up and go downstairs. Just as she was sniffing the fragrance in the air and guessing what breakfast would be today, and was a little disappointed when she saw that her spiritual essence value was only 4+1 today, she heard a chaotic commotion outside.

“Here, here!”

“Hehehe~~~”

“Woof woof woof!!”

"Hey! Be careful with the vegetables!"

?

Ye Mian walked a few steps faster and went out of the gate. However, before she could see what was going on, a shadow like a bird flew towards her. Before she subconsciously stepped back, a basket appeared out of nowhere and scooped up the entire shadow.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Ning appeared quickly and put a cover on the basket, completely trapping the shadow inside.

It didn't have much strength, so it didn't struggle, it just kept making muffled noises inside.

“Cluck, cluck, cluck, cluck~”

"Is it a chicken?"

Ye Mian just reacted when Xue Kai called out again: "There's another one, come and surround it!"

Hearing this, Lu Ning pushed the basket towards Ye Mian and said, "I'll leave this to you."

"Okay." Ye Mian reached out and pressed the cover, watching Lu Ning take a step forward, and stand on each side with Xue Kai and Chen Jia, and quietly move towards the hen with gray-white feathers that was relatively docile and quiet.

This time it didn't take too much effort. Before it could spread its wings and escape, the three of them worked together to hold it down slightly.

Seeing that it had no intention of struggling, Xue Kai took over and held it in his arms, and even touched its feathers as a comfort.

Even though Dahei was sticking out his tongue and watching, the hen was not afraid at all and even made comfortable clucking sounds.

The chaos ended just like that. Later, with the help of Ye Mian and the other two, Xue Kai locked up the hen with multi-colored feathers and a bad temper in the basket in the utility room to prevent it from coming out to peck at the vegetables planted last night.

Almost as soon as the door closed, a system reminder box popped up.

[Successfully captured 2 "hens", please build a comfortable home for them! 】

[The construction function has been automatically unlocked! ]

【New blueprint unlocked! 】

[Own three employees and make their loyalty reach 80 or above (3/3), experience +30, points +30! ]

The first three are related to each other, as for the fourth one... Ye Mian glanced at Chen Jia who was still a little excited. When she just came back yesterday, her loyalty was only 79, but now it has reached over 80 after catching a chicken.

Really naive and gullible.

"What they attracted was actually a normal animal, not a mutant beast..."

"This is a hen, so it should lay eggs? Or does it need a rooster?"

"Yes, yes. You only need a rooster if you want to hatch chicks."

"Ahem," Ye Mian coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the three people, "Maybe there will be a new mission."

After saying that, she opened the system interface to check the new construction function while walking towards the small drawing board hanging on the wall of the living room.

The construction function interface is divided into two options, one is [Blueprint] and the other is [Improvement].

There is a line of small words at the bottom -

Current construction points: 0 (you can gain construction points by unlocking blueprints and building improvements. For every certain number of construction points accumulated, you can unlock an additional blueprint)

[Blueprint] contains various building drawings, but currently only one is unlocked and can be collected, and the others are gray and unlocked.

[Improvement] The interface is all black, with a line of red text as a reminder - a craftsman is needed.

This means that the so-called improvement is to make various interior decorations inside the building.

There are only a few buildings on the farm right now, so this can be put aside for the time being.

Ye Mian simply switched back to the blueprint option and received the blueprint called "Chicken Coop".

[Exchange the blueprint for the first time and get "Magic Toolbox" X1! ]

[Automatically accept the main task - build a comfortable chicken coop! ]

The three people following behind watched Ye Mian pause in front of the drawing board for a moment before picking up the pen and writing a line of words.

"Build a chicken coop? That'll require some good wood."

"Well, I know a little bit of simple carpentry."

Hearing this, the three people including Ye Mian couldn't help but look at Chen Jia in unison, all of them were a little surprised.

Chen Jia groaned, "My grandfather was a carpenter when he was young. Although he always felt that it was inappropriate for girls to learn this, he still let me watch and learn from him."

Xue Kai gave her a thumbs up: "Great!"

It's good to know carpentry, but the chicken coop required by the mission should be built according to the blueprint.

Thinking about it, Ye Mian said, "Come with me."

Under her leadership, a group of four people walked to a warehouse on one side where most of the space had been vacated.

After taking out the blueprint of the chicken coop and taking a quick look at it, Ye Mian handed the blueprint to Chen Jia, and then took out the magical toolbox he had just obtained.

The box was much larger than it looked in the thumbnail, and it made a loud thump when it landed.

For this reason, the three people who gathered together to look at the blueprint subconsciously looked at the huge iron box on the ground with surprise in their eyes.

"There are tools in here," Ye Mian squatted down and opened the iron box. When he saw the various tools inside, he couldn't help but paused, "It should be useful."

Chen Jia came back to his senses and asked: "Are we going to build it according to this blueprint?"

The blueprint shows a medium-sized but two-story chicken coop. The first floor is surrounded by barbed wire, and the second floor is a small wooden house. There are very detailed structure and step-by-step diagrams below.

The required materials and tools are also attached to one side, there are no special items.

Ye Mian nodded: "Yes, there seems to be wire in the box, so we still need wood, right?"

"Yes, let me see..." Chen Jia had already roughly looked at the drawings, and now handed them to Xue Kai, then began to rummage through the toolbox to see what was inside.

Seeing this, Ye Mian stepped aside and found the three wood bags that had been opened from the previous level gift pack and opened them one by one.

【Get "Logs" X50! 】

[Get "Thick Wood Planks" x100! ]

[Get "Thin Wood Plank" X100! ]

ah?

This is called moderation?

Ye Mian was stunned for a moment, then he smiled and took out a thin orange-yellow wooden board.

It is said to be thin, but in fact it is not thin to the touch, and it has some weight, which shows that the sturdiness of this wooden board is definitely not low.

"Hey," Chen Jia looked up and saw the wooden board in Ye Mian's hand, and her eyes lit up, "This can be used to build the small wooden house on the second floor."

Hearing this, Ye Mian simply took out all the thin wooden boards and piled them on the ground: "Are these enough?"

"Ah..." Chen Jia was startled for a moment, then nodded with her mouth open, "That's really enough."

Now that the tools and materials were complete, Lu Ning stepped forward and said, "I'll help."

Seeing that the two were ready to start working with great interest, Xue Kai handed the blueprint back to Chen Jia and shook his head helplessly: "Everyone, let's have breakfast first!"

After breakfast, the four of them officially divided the work.

Chen Jia and Lu Ning are responsible for taking care of the chicken coop.

Ye Mian and Xue Kai were sorting out what she and Lu Ning had gained from their outing yesterday.

I took out the diesel last night and looked at it. Now I have nowhere to put it, so I just keep it in the system warehouse.

As for the instant drinks taken from the villa, they could not be used for the time being. At Xue Kai's suggestion, they just took out some biscuits and snacks and placed them in the living room so that everyone could take them and eat them when they were tired from work.

What remained were some tools found in the first two villages and towns.

Some commonly used farm tools and instruments were placed directly in the utility room, and the saw found in the forest farm was just right for Chen Jia and the other two to use.

Finally, there was only one big one left.

Ye Mian walked to an open space where the weeds had been eaten by Panax notoginseng and lit the tractor he had taken out of the warehouse.

Although he had heard Ye Mian and the others talk about it last night, Xue Kai couldn't help but feel a little emotional and an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he actually saw it with his own eyes.

He first checked it inside and out, and confirmed that there was no rust and it was obviously still in use a few months ago. Then he asked Ye Mian to bring out a bucket of diesel and fill it up with oil.

After adjusting the agricultural machinery installed on the front of the vehicle so that it could function, he held the handle and sat on it.

"You should go away first. I touched it a few times a few years ago, but I have almost forgotten it."

Ye Mian silently retreated about ten meters away.

"..." Xue Kai sat on the tractor reluctantly. After holding the handles on both sides to get a feel for it, he took a deep breath and started the tractor.

As the familiar roar of the engine sounded, Xue Kai felt the blood in his body warm up, and then he inexplicably gained confidence, and he stepped on the accelerator and drove forward.

There was a series of "thump thump thump" sounds, and the figure of Xue Kai driving the tractor gradually disappeared into the distance.

Ye Mian was stunned for a moment, then raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It really can open."

Moreover, the effect of agricultural machinery was almost immediate - the hard wasteland that Xue Kai drove through was directly turned into soft soil, and the results of a few minutes were almost equivalent to half an afternoon's work.

Even if the farm is 10,000 square meters after upgrading, it will not take a few days to plow all the land.

Very good, we have successfully reduced an extremely laborious task.

Just as he was thinking about it, Xue Kai drove back over there, and he could still hear his laughter from afar: "Hahaha this is so fun!!"

Compared to just now when he was still a bit nervous and unfamiliar, this time he parked the tractor ten meters away from Ye Mian with incredible accuracy, and then trotted over.

"You're not busy farming today, are you?"

Ye Mian hummed: "The timing is not right."

"Hey, that's perfect. I'm going to play this today."

After saying that, Xue Kai turned around excitedly and went back. Halfway through, he remembered and reminded, "Remember to ask Lu Ning and the others to pick the peaches when they are ripe."

Hearing him mention peaches, Ye Mian subconsciously turned his head to look at the peach tree beside the door in front of the house.

The flower bloomed for a whole day yesterday, and today it has transformed into a tree covered with green branches and leaves, and has produced fresh green peaches.

According to Xue Kai's speculation, the maturity period will probably be within these few hours.

"Um……"

So all she needs to do today is wait for the peaches to ripen?

Although this is the advantage of having more people, Ye Mian really can't stay idle. Just as she opened the system warehouse and scanned the items inside, planning to find some work for herself, she saw a text box quietly appear at the top of the system interface.
