Chapter 7

So he goes out of the perimeter of the house and is at the border between their house with Mei and the forest that is all around.

He enters this forest which looks like any ordinary forest, it has trees that are of any size but have a height that is less than 9 meters. The forest has a dense vegetation with many plants and different mushrooms.

Since this is the first time Mu is in a forest, not to mention the time he was unconscious. He is extremely shocked to see that the atmosphere of this forest is totally different from the laboratory where he lived, the cities or the house where he lives now.

The atmosphere of the forest is calm and quiet with some animal noises that can be heard. However, the animal noises seem to fit perfectly into the atmosphere of the forest. Like in a puzzle.

After enjoying the atmosphere of the forest, Mu decides it's time to get to work and find the perfect wood to make his first puppet. So he started to look around at the different types of wood that were available.

After several hours of research, he finally finds a wood that suits him very well. This wood comes from the trunk of a tree that is about 2 meters long, so it is not very big for a tree. The wood is rather large, it is the width of an adult human body.

To cut this tree trunk, Mu decides to use one of his skills to make the task easier. The skill he uses is called wood manipulation.

The moment he uses the skill, the energy around him is concentrated in his hands and he changes the shape of the wood. He causes the wood to be cut at the base. After he does this, the wood falls and a few minutes later is on the ground next to Mu.

He looks at the tree trunk that he cut with his skill and the tree trunk is enveloped by the energy of the world and disappears a few seconds later, as if it had never been present in the world.

This could have been the case, if there was not still the trace of the tree trunk on the ground and the base of the tree trunk still in the ground.

Indeed, the tree trunk was placed in the inventory of Mu. The inventory systems of the inhabitants of the Earth have their abilities which are related to their levels. The higher the level of the person, the more objects he can carry.

DING!

After the trunk disappears from its location, Mu hears the notification of the system that proves to him that the trunk was well transported in inventory.

Inventory: X1 tree trunk

An hour later, he is in front of his cabin and goes inside. He goes to the workbench inside and makes the tree trunk appear inside the hut.

To make his first puppet he has to make a sketch of it. So he looks for a sheet of paper and a pencil and starts to make a sketch of the puppet he wants to create.

Several tens of minutes later, he finishes making the sketch. The puppet he drew on this sketch is simple. It looks like a human child but has no expression. The body of the puppet is also extremely simple, it is not detailed.

After finishing the sketch, he goes to the tree trunk and with his skill of wood manipulation he starts to make the different parts of the puppet, such as the head, arms, legs and torso. After two hours of work he finished making all the parts of the puppet.

But before he could start to assemble the puppet, he noticed that it was already dark and that Mei would probably call him to eat soon. So he decides that it's time to go home to see if the meal is already ready or if she needs help to finish it.

He enters the house, the moment the door opens he notices that the meal has just been finished. He goes to the table and sits in front of Mei as usual.

Mei is surprised to see that she doesn't need to call him this time because he came all alone before she even called him.

Hmmm... My food is so good that the smell makes it come by itself! I am really the best chef in the forest!' Mei said to herself with a haughty tone.

Suddenly during the meal Mei asks Mu a question.

"How is the creation of your puppet going? When can I see it?"

Mu raised his head and looked in Mei's direction, then put down his cutlery and answered.

"The puppet that I am making is extremely simple to make. It will be finished tomorrow night at the most. But I hope to make more complex puppets in the future.

"Oh!"

Mei is shocked to hear that Mu's puppet will be finished in such a short time. She expected it to take several days, but not just two!

"Mei, what do you do in this forest? Mu asks her a question.

Mei is taken by surprise, because she had never thought that he would ask her this question. She is a bit embarrassed to answer him.

"Heuuu ..... actually, I don't have a job .... I just do some research on the energy of the world and that's all! She answers him with a little embarrassed tone by turning her head on the side and by inflating her cheeks. This action makes Mei extremely cute and makes you want to protect her from all the dangers of this world.

"Ah..." Mu was not ready for Mei's answer, he thought Mei was an important figure because she is all alone in this forest. He thought that she was a kind of forest guardian but Mei's image just greatly dropped in Guo Mu's head!
