Chapter 109 Construction
It was a pleasant shopping trip, especially when Yu Sheng found that many things were cheaper than he had imagined.
This was the nth time he had to "store" the goods. Yu Sheng took his two followers to a corner where no one noticed him. He asked Hu Li to make a tail appear and stuffed the newly bought chick into the tail.
Seeing Hu Li's eyes sparkling as he grabbed the chicks and stuffed them into his tail, Yu Sheng couldn't help but feel a little weird. Irene, who was lying on his arm for the time being, was too tired to complain: "You really bought them... Are you really planning to raise chickens in the valley?"
"Why not? It's such a big place, and we don't have to worry about them getting lost or being taken away by stray dogs. We can just scatter them all over the mountains and fields, and they'll be free range!" Yu Sheng couldn't help but imagine a bright future. "I'm telling you, I didn't buy any piglets, otherwise..."
"You still want to raise free-range pigs, right? You're thinking long-term. Are you going to raise such small chickens out there?" Irene sighed. "Besides, the grass is just starting to grow there. Are you sure you can raise animals there?"
"…So this isn't a future plan. Now let's go and raise the chickens in cages," Yu Sheng scratched his head awkwardly. "I'm going to study how to accelerate the ecological environment in the valley. I'll also find a couple of books to learn how to grow vegetables and raise chickens."
Irene was stunned: "...So you don't know how to do it at all?!"
Yu Sheng said with a straight face, "Nonsense, do you think I know how to do it? It's just a wealth of theoretical knowledge and imaginative experience!"
"Then why are you so excited?" Irene said helplessly. "I saw you planning so hard, and I thought you were so professional in this area. You seemed to want to turn the Night Valley into an exotic farmhouse."
"You don't understand," Yu Sheng looked at the little doll hanging on his arm in an inscrutable manner, "farming is the soul."
"I don't understand. After all, puppets don't need to eat." Irene looked around and rolled her eyes secretly. "The puppet ancestor never taught us this knowledge. When the sisters shared their experiences remotely, I didn't hear about any puppet studying farming."
"So I say that your method of prenatal education and correspondence courses for kindergarten graduates is not reliable..."
"I'll bite your head off! How can you describe a lady like that?!"
At this time, Hu Li had already stuffed the last chick into her tail. She looked up at Irene and Yu Sheng who were bickering as usual, hesitated for a moment, and then spoke carefully: "My benefactor, can I keep them?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he heard this: "Can you do it?"
Hu Li nodded: "I know! We teach you in school!"
Yu Sheng always felt that something was strange, but seeing the fox girl's eyes shining, he quickly nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you."
Irene was immediately shocked: "...You let the fox raise chickens?!"
Yu Sheng finally realized what was wrong, and quickly reminded the big fox in front of him: "Raise it until it grows up before eating it!"
Hu Li's eyes were narrowed with joy at this time. It was unclear whether he had taken the words to heart or not. He just nodded happily: "Hmm~"
Yu Sheng felt at that time that he might not be able to see these chicks grow up and run freely in the valley...
He now only hoped that Hu Li would remember to at least cook them thoroughly before eating them.
"Now that we've bought everything, we won't go to the building materials market for now," Yu Sheng glanced at the shopping list he prepared before leaving the house, and after confirming that nothing was missing, he let out a long sigh of relief. Then he lowered his head to look at the puppet lying on his arm, "How about you? How is your health at home?"
"It's fine. We've come so far and there's no sign of being 'disconnected'," Irene replied immediately. "I'm trying to get the body over there to wander around the room."
As she spoke, she moved her arms slightly, raised herself from Yu Sheng's arms, and moved her hands and feet slightly: "At this distance, the control of the two bodies has not changed much. The proficiency of controlling them has improved a little. Basically, I can adapt to and distinguish the two fields of vision that exist at the same time. However, I still can't move freely here. Further testing still needs to go to that valley."
"Okay, let's go home first, pack up our things and go to the valley."
"How do we get back? Take a taxi?" Irene raised her head and said in a subtle tone, "I don't think we'll meet a ride from the Secret Service again this time..."
A smile appeared on Yu Sheng's face. "Of course we have to 'open the door' when we go back. You two wait a moment. I will notify the Secret Service."
As he spoke, he took out his cell phone, but as soon as he unlocked it, he raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"Frontier Communications popped up a notification about a software update," he said, and subconsciously clicked the OK button. "What else will this thing update... Is this it?"
The software update was completed almost instantly. Yu Sheng even almost suspected that there was something wrong with the phone. Then he saw "Border Communication" automatically restart and then enter the main interface.
"It looks like nothing has changed... huh?"
Yu Sheng had just muttered halfway when he suddenly discovered that there was an extra button in the lower right corner of the main interface of Border Communication.
Irene came up to him curiously and asked, "What, what, what, let me see, what's the update?"
Yu Sheng pointed at the button with a wooden expression.
"…'Open the door' one-click report?" The little puppet was stunned for a moment, then looked up at Yu Sheng, "Is this a special update prepared just for you?"
"Anyway, I guess other people's border communications don't have this function," Yu Sheng's mouth twitched, "It seems that the phone call to Baili Qing at twelve o'clock in the night had a big impact."
As he spoke, he had already pressed the one-click reporting function, then turned around and opened the door leading to No. 66 Wutong Road.
After returning home, he first asked Hu Li to empty out the pile of things in his tail, sort them out, and put the rice, flour, grain, oil and other things into the kitchen first. Then he carried Irene upstairs and went to the bedroom to check on Irene.
To be honest, he himself felt that this string of words sounded like a grammatical error.
Irene was walking in circles on the master bedroom floor and seemed to be having a lot of fun.
It was nothing like the morning when two bodies were awake and couldn't even stand steadily.
"I seem to have almost found the trick to control two bodies at the same time," the two Irenes said in unison (the one on the shoulder and the one on the floor), "and I think there may be a simpler way than direct control. The shell that acts as the 'secondary body' does not seem to require too direct and detailed instructions to operate. You see-"
As she spoke, Irene, who was walking in circles on the floor, suddenly stopped, and her expression became extremely dull. However, this puppet, which seemed to have "broken its strings", did not fall down directly. Instead, after a moment of dullness, it continued to stagger towards Yu Sheng.
"Okay, okay, I understand, but this is a bit creepy." Yu Sheng looked at the red-eyed puppet that looked like a cursed doll and was staggering towards him with stiff steps. Several movies instantly popped up in his mind. He quickly waved his hands to let the puppet return to normal, then bent down to pick up the little puppet from the ground and put it on his shoulder.

He went downstairs carrying Irene on one shoulder. As soon as he reached the living room, he saw Hu Li lying next to the dining table. The girl had a silly smile on her face, and two little chicks were pecking at a handful of millet on the table in front of her. She didn't seem to have any sense of crisis.
The fox girl was still chatting with the chickens: "Eat more, grow up quickly, I will keep you for great use... boiled and salted."
Yu Sheng took a moment to figure out what was going on, and broke out in a cold sweat: "What names did you give them?"
Hu Li narrowed his eyes happily: "Yes~"
"...Okay, as long as you're happy," Yu Sheng's face trembled, "Take your boiled and salt-baked food, and we'll go to the valley."
"Why!"
Just as Yu Sheng expected, it was still daytime in the valley.
A clear, cloudless sky covered the vast valley, and the bright light outlined the rugged contours of the distant mountains, with no sign of dimming.
Up to now, Yu Sheng has entered this valley at different times of the day, and he can basically be sure that there is really no alternation between day and night here.
The valley always maintains this sunny and comfortable temperature state.
This has both advantages and disadvantages.
The good thing is that this environment is indeed quite comfortable, at least better than the previous situation where it was always dark, the wind was biting cold and the air was filled with a foul smell.
The downside is that he doubts whether he can successfully complete his "vegetable growing business" in such an environment.
After all, plants also need the alternation of day and night to grow normally.
However, these are all things that need to be verified later. As for the current stage, Yu Sheng still needs to clear a piece of land first - and by the way, clean up the ruins of the dilapidated temple that is in the way. This probably won't take long.
Considering that he might have to frequently move around in this valley in the future, he planned to roughly set up a "camp" here first, and then take Irene to complete the scheduled "test" project.
The ruins of the dilapidated temple had experienced a "feast", and now there is basically nothing left. Broken bricks and tiles are mixed in the bumpy soil, which is useless except affecting his farming.
Under the influence of life, the earth began to gradually "wake up".
The soil squirmed, swallowing up, decomposing, and burying the bricks and tiles. Stones of all sizes were pushed together and stacked at the end of the open space. A flat land was formed under Yu Sheng's feet and began to slowly extend outward, outlining the outline of the plot of land.
He stood at the edge of the clearing, carefully feeling the connection between himself and the valley, feeling the wonderful process of how the soil, stones, and even the air and water here were shaped according to his wishes, and gradually immersed himself in it.
Unconsciously, he felt that his "control" over this place... seemed to have taken a step further.
