Under the bridge in the morning, on the familiar riverbank.
Lorraine stood there very seriously, deep in thought, with a huge pile of messy materials in front of him.
You should know...
He collected all of these from various resource refresh points in the city last night, working until 3 a.m.
During that time, he also got into a fight with a group of beggars and knocked out the dentures of several old men.
"Should it be built to the specifications of a doomsday bunker, or to the standards of a death zone?"
Lorraine was in a bit of a predicament.
or……
Grab a shovel and dig down? Let this city experience the taste of tunnel warfare?
If it's built underground, it won't be blown away by those monsters' magical projectiles, right?
no……
If a stray bullet were to fly into the tunnel and collapse it, wouldn't that bury him alive?
In a short time.
All sorts of chaotic plans were swirling in Lorraine's mind.
——
Just then.
"Brother Lin!"
A familiar voice suddenly came from afar. Lorraine turned his head and saw Wu Tina carrying a casual bag, waving and running towards him.
"Ouch."
He almost fell because he was running too fast.
Lorraine was startled.
——
"Wu Tina?"
"Hehehe, good morning, Brother Lin."
"Why are you here? Don't you have to go to the academy today?"
"It's the weekend today."
"Oh, that makes sense. So, what's this all about...?"
"After hearing about what happened to you yesterday, Brother Lin, I was still worried, so I rushed over early this morning. Sure enough, Brother Lin is troubled about the new home."
"Yes, we lost our home, but we can't just stay homeless forever."
"These... are all building materials?"
Wu Tina looked at that huge pile of... 'building materials' that wouldn't be an exaggeration to call garbage.
I felt a little ashamed.
Lorraine laughed.
Are you trying to say that I brought back a bunch of trash?
"Oh no no no... I didn't mean that."
"Haha, it's okay. Even if you really say that, you're not wrong. These things... might indeed be considered trash in your eyes, since they're things that nobody wants and have been thrown away."
"How are we going to use all this stuff to build our new house?"
"I'm trying to figure something out."
"Do you need my help? Oh no, please let me help you too."
"I'm not giving you any payment."
"It's free."
"You want me to work for free?"
"Um."
"Wu Tina, you're too kind-hearted!"
"Because Brother Lin needs me right now."
"Looks like I, Old Lin, am going to owe someone another favor."
"Brother Lin, what are your thoughts on the new home?"
Faced with Tina's enthusiasm.
Lorraine thought for a moment, then casually took out a blueprint from her ring and handed it to the other person. "For now, let's just follow this standard. We have limited materials, and we're not expecting to build a cozy little house yet. We'll just build a shelter-level little house."
"This is... a design drawing?"
Wu Tina looked at the dense, highly professional icons and annotations on it.
For a moment, I was dizzy and disoriented, feeling that my knowledge reserves were insufficient.
Oh no, I can't understand this at all.
Oh no, what should I do?
——
but.
Just as Wu Tina was worrying about this, Lorraine suddenly realized what was going on, took the blueprints back, and laughed awkwardly, "Ahaha, um, sorry, sorry, I think I took the wrong one."
"Huh? Wasn't that the blueprint for our new house?"
"Those are the blueprints for a missile silo. I stole them when I went back to some German headquarters... oh no, it's nothing, haha, anyway, I made a mistake."
"ah???"
"This is the blueprint for the new home I want to build today."
Lorraine casually replaced the blueprints for her.
When Wu Tina took a look, she almost burst out laughing. This shabby place looked like a refugee's shelter.
Even a secret base built by a child might be better than this.
"Brother Lin, is it really okay to live in such a crappy... no, such a tiny shack?"
"Sometimes people need to know how to be content with what they have, Tina."
"Brother Lin is so pitiful."
"Haha, being alive is a blessing. As for these things, don't ask for too much. The reason why people are troubled is often because they want too much. So-called pressure and suffering are all self-inflicted."
"Brother Lin is as optimistic as ever."
Building a new home is hard work, are you... are you really okay?
"Does Brother Lin look down on me?"
"That's not what I meant, but you're so skinny. How about this: I'll do the heavy lifting, and you just need to help me with whatever you can manage."
"Yes, yes, I'll do whatever Brother Lin says."
Wu Tina is happy as long as she can help with the tasks.
She also showed off the bag she was carrying, and said.
"I even brought a bento box today, so I can have a nice and satisfying meal when I'm tired from work at noon."
"You even prepared a bento box?"
"Um."
"Great, they're getting motivated."
