After settling the rental issues, An Wen went to the new house to take a look.
The renovation company had not started on the renovation yet, and the house was still bare and empty.
The only reason An Wen went to the new house was simply because he wanted to see what it looked like.
He was not the least concerned about the state or layout of the house, but was instead interested in seeing if there were any beneficial items that he could add to the new home.
However, after pondering for a long time, An Wen realized that he truly did not have much talent in renovation design.
“Forget it, I should return home to continue excavating the foundation and constructing buildings.”
Along the way home in the afternoon, An Wen found a place to eat his lunch. He then traveled to the other world right away, making it on time.
He gazed upon the other world as the sun rose above the horizon and the snow melted.
He then got down to work.
First, he replaced the wooden planks that he had removed from the buildings the previous night, then filled the bathtub with water. After this, he started working out.
“I shall warm up with a slow, 10-kilometer jog.”
An Wen made a 10-kilometer jog sound extremely easy to accomplish.
In reality, however, An Wen would still be extremely exhausted after running 10 kilometers, though his stamina was much better than before when he would be completely drained.
An Wen worked out until 5 p.m., then went home to order takeout. After this, he returned to the other world to take a bath.
After being under the sun for more than two hours, the water in the bathtub had turned warm, so it was just right for a relaxing bath.
After the bath, An Wen returned home to wait for his takeout to be delivered, then brought the takeout to the other world to eat.
An Wen built a dining room in the other world.
“Building: Exquisite Dining Room”
“Grade: Excellent”
“Attributes: Taste of Food +15%, Absorption of Nutrients +20%, Cleanliness and Hygiene +15%”
“Income: 1500 Survival Points / Hour”
The thought of building a dining hall had struck An Wen out of a sudden.
An Wen had not even imagined that the dining hall would end up with such attributes, after he moved all of the kitchenware from his house to the other world.
In that case, An Wen would eat every one of his meals in the other world in the future.
He also needed to replenish the nutrients in his body while working out every day.
Although he was young and his digestive organs were functioning well, it would still be beneficial to him if more nutrients were absorbed into his body.
“Burp!”
After finishing the meal, An Wen burped in satisfaction.
He then leaned back on the sofa as he counted the number of Survival Points he had in glee.
His total income, per 12-hour day, from all of the buildings he had now, was 1.86 million Survival Points.
Over the past few days, he had already accumulated 6.47 million Survival Points, and so he would cross the 10 million mark in two days’ time.
“Which of the skills should I light up and activate?”
An Wen began clicking around with his finger subconsciously as he deliberated over which skills he should light up and activate.
Currently, there were three skill trees which he could light up.
They were Wood Crafts, Human Body Enhancement, and Stone Material Crafts.
Stone Material Crafts was a skills tree that appeared after he built a stone processing plant, and it was fundamentally similar to the Wood Crafts skills tree.
The sole difference was that Stone Material Crafts did not have much potential for development with only one ultimate skill.
Furthermore, the ultimate skill was for sculpting ultra-large stone sculptures.
An example sculpture that he could carve would be the Leshan Giant Buddha statue.
The ultimate skill of the Stone Materials skills tree was precisely such a sculpting skill.
Although it was very powerful, An Wen did not fancy it.
He merely wanted to cut stone to sell for money; he did not require stone crafting skills to build stone houses, bridges, tall towers, and the like.
If he was able to build cement plants and steel mills in the future, and reinforced concrete crafting skills appeared, stone would be rendered useless.
After all, unlike wood, stone was a material set to be replaced.
As such, An Wen directly passed on stone crafting skills.
“Although human body enhancement skills are necessary, my body still needs to be trained. Even if I light up and activate the ultimate skill, my body would still be unable to fulfil its requirements anyway.”
After pondering about the choice, An Wen decided to pass on the human body enhancement skills as well. He just did not need the enhancement urgently.
Consequently, only the wood crafting skills remained.
“There is no urgent need for Machine Megacity and Sacred War Beast, which leaves me with only one option – Ancient Flying Eagle.”
At that juncture, An Wen did not hesitate any further.
He certainly could not activate Ancient Flying Eagle with the number of Survival Points he had currently, but there would surely not be a problem activating the machinery skills for him to make a wooden kite.
After some clicking, An Wen started slowly understanding the knowledge that was infused into his mind.
Twenty minutes passed.
An Wen finally shook himself out of his slight daze.
“This is essentially just information from the Mechanical Design Manufacturing and Automation major.”
After receiving the knowledge from the skills which he lighted up and activated, An Wen realized that the skills were simply what was taught in modern-day universities. However, certain aspects were less advanced than what was taught in the modern-day, while certain aspects were more advanced.
