The fifth brother watched as his body slowly floated up and exclaimed excitedly, "Little brother, how did you do that?"
Chen Nong's cheerful voice came over, "Use bubble balls! Throw bubble balls at other people and they'll fly! Fifth Uncle, come on, I'll teach you how to fly. You can even walk in the air! It's so much fun!"
Daya was overjoyed and asked, "Uncle, where did you get this bubble ball?"
Chen Kai: "I picked them up by smashing the jars. Some of the jars here will drop some items when they are smashed."
The fifth brother shouted, "Little brother, why don't you fly up and play too!"
Chen Kai laughed and said, "No, you guys go ahead and have fun."
Chen Kai continued chopping down trees. After a while, he found an open space, crafted an empty crafting table and placed it on the ground, then crafted a large vertical storage box and placed it next to it.
Then, he made several more stone spears, stone axes, stone shovels, stone hoes, stone picks, and stone rakes and put them in the storage box.
Xiao Tian walked over, opened the craftsman's table, and synthesized all the plants in his backpack that could be used to make seeds, then put them into his backpack.
Xiao Tian, holding a stone shovel, said, "I'll build a house first, then I'll mine."
Chen Kai: "Yeah, I'm watching them from up there."
Chen Kai then built another campfire and placed it on the ground, then took a hoe and started hoeing the ground for them.
When the bubble ball's time was up, Chen Nong fell down, but this time he was unharmed, without injury or pain.
"This is so much fun! It's so much fun, I'm going to smash a jar later."
When Da Ya and the others returned, they saw Xiao Tian building a house. The speed at which he did so was so fast that it almost made their jaws drop.
Xiao Tian took a block of soil and built a mud wall from a distance. Standing underneath, you could stick the soil block to the wall without it collapsing, as if it had been glued on.
After finishing one wall, Xiao Tian first sealed the top, then started making thumping noises on it, and the roof was done in no time.
Chen Nong rubbed his eyes in disbelief, "It actually doesn't collapse!"
Da Ya was stunned: "You can use clods of dirt like that!"
She had no idea that you could build a house by piling things up like that!
Xiao Tian: "If blocks can be used like this, then if we encounter darkness in the future and don't have any items to jump through the darkness, we can just dig a hole and block the entrance with blocks. It's convenient and safe."
Chen Nong was surprised that building houses here was so easy, and shouted, "I want to play too!"
Just then, Chen Kai's voice came over, "Fifth Brother, Daya, come and plant cotton."
Chen Kai divided the farmland into several plots: one for his fifth brother, one for his daughter, and two more for the remaining plots. One plot was for growing grain, and the other was for growing flowers.
Daya came over and looked at it, asking curiously, "Uncle, why did you leave a few holes in the plowed field?"
Chen Kai: "The water from the river can only irrigate a limited area, so we have to dig a few pits. Once we have the tools, we can fill them with water so that the plants can grow faster."
Fifth Brother: "Then why do we need to stick torches on top?"
Chen Kai: "Sunlight is good for plant growth. Daya, you plant cotton on the right first. Fifth Brother, you plant cotton on the left first too. One of the two plots in the middle is for growing flowers, and the other is for growing grain."
"Uncle, you found the grain?" Da Ya exclaimed excitedly.
Chen Kai: "Yeah, there are 6 sweet potatoes. I just got them from breaking the jar. I'll plant them later."
Daya had never heard of sweet potatoes. "Sweet potatoes are edible?"
Chen Kai: "Yes, it's still a high-yield crop."
The fifth brother exclaimed excitedly, "You can actually get such good stuff by smashing jars!"
Chen Kai: "Otherwise, why would Xiao Tian and I smash the jars? You think it was just for those few bubble balls?"
The fifth brother and the eldest daughter quickly planted the cotton seeds. Since there weren't many seeds, they finished planting them in no time. With so much arable land left, they could only wait until the cotton was harvested before combining the seeds and planting them again.
In order not to get them mixed up, Daya planted flowers and Laoqi planted grains in the middle of the farmland. There weren't many seeds, so they were all planted in no time. Then the two of them continued to cultivate the farmland to the left and right.
Xiao Tian finished building the house, installed doors and several windows, and also put a storage box and a craftsman's table inside.
He opened the crafting station, looked at the crafting recipes inside, thought for a moment, and decided to chop down trees first and deal with mining later; he needed to get the warm clothing first.
Chen Kai shared the same thought. Even if they managed to get an iron pickaxe from the mines, they would still need time to find a floating island to craft the titanium alloy axe. With three newbies around, some unexpected things were bound to happen. They didn't want to go back so soon; they hadn't even gotten their food and warm clothing yet. They decided to play it safe and develop their strength cautiously for now.
Xiao Tian came out and said, "Zhou Zhu, I'll go cut down some trees first and get some materials while I'm at it."
Chen Kai smiled and said, "Okay, go ahead!"
Xiao Tian turned to Chen Nong and shouted, "Brother, come on, I'll take you to play something even more fun!"
Chen Nong had just finished building half of his house and was extremely excited. "Brother, you go ahead, I'll build the house first."
Xiao Tian: "I'm going to find bubble balls and bubble gum, aren't you coming?"
Chen Nong's eyes lit up, and he came running over excitedly, "Come on, bro, let's go together!"
Chen Kai built some fences and enclosed an open space near the right side of the house to build a chicken coop.
"Fifth Brother, I'm going to cut down some trees. I'll be right back."
The fifth brother replied, "Okay, don't go too far. Call us if anything happens."
On the way, Zhou Zhu picked up a chicken coop. He also saw a chicken along the way, but there was no feed, so he had to kill it.
Not long after, he saw another blue bird. His eyes lit up. It was a dodo. He didn't shoot it. He kept it and saw if he could lure it into the chicken coop.
Although there is no feed available now, placing chicken coops in the chicken coop will always attract some chickens and birds to go in.
After finding six chicken coops, he went back and put them in the chicken coop.
The cotton they planted has already been harvested and exchanged for seeds to plant. Now, Daya and Laoqi are making stone spears and stone hoes.
Chen Kai put the wood he had just collected into the storage box so that Da Ya and the others could easily access it.
Daya asked curiously, "Uncle, do you want to raise chickens?"
Chen Kai: "Yes, aquaculture is a good business."
Daya said happily, "Then I'll catch some chickens for you to raise. The plants here grow so fast, the animals must reproduce quickly too."
Chen Kai said, "We can't catch the chickens; we have to lure them back with feed. To make feed, we need to find wheat seeds."
The fifth brother exclaimed excitedly, "Little brother, look! There's a blue bird circling around on the fence!"
Chen Kai happily ran over and shooed the dodo bird that was circling the fence into the chicken coop. This bird is great; it can not only lay eggs but also excrete corn seeds.
After Chen Kai returned to the craftsman's station, Daya asked worriedly, "Uncle, isn't that fence too low? Won't the birds fly away?"
Chen Kai laughed and said, "Don't worry, the Dudu bird can't fly. It looks like a bird, but it's actually just like a chicken. The eggs it lays are the same as chicken eggs, only they are blue. Just think of the Dudu bird as a colored chicken."
Also, that fence cannot be crossed; you can only get in through the gate.
