A solemn choice...

About ten kilometers away from Sang Jiu's wooden house, there is a high-walled building standing alone on this charred land. The wall is black in color, and it faintly reveals a dark red blood color under the refraction of sunlight.

　　The building within the wall was deserted, and everyone was hiding in the tunnels and caves beneath the building. Only by staying deep underground during the day did they feel less hot.

Everyone gathered together to discuss the heavy casualties suffered by a team last night in an encounter with a group of long-eared star beasts: "Did you know? Last night a search team encountered a group of long-eared star beasts. There were thirty people, but only ten of them came back alive. The loss was very heavy."

"I just heard about it. It's the search team of Li Long　　whom I know . They usually only operate within a radius of thirty miles. There shouldn't be a large group of star beasts in this area. How did they encounter one?"

The area around the safe zone has been cleared, with only small star beasts that have not mutated or some solitary and lost star beasts.

　　"Bad luck." Not far behind the talking people, Li Long stared at the lame young man who kept asking about his sister's whereabouts with a sinister look on his face, "Is that kid your sister? If I had known, I wouldn't have let her go with us. She's just a drag. If it weren't for her, we wouldn't have had the bad luck to encounter the sand and dust and the long-eared star beasts."

　　The others were also injured to varying degrees, and all looked unhappy. Now they all found a way to vent their anger: "The one who held us back deserved to die."

　　The lame young man had bloodshot eyes and his hands were clenched into fists. What did this have to do with his sister?

　　An older man nearby pulled him away, walked a little further away, and said in a low voice, "Ah Shu, do you still want to follow Captain Li to search for supplies? If you do, don't offend them."

　　Most of the people in the safe zone are ordinary people, and not many of them can go out hunting and searching for supplies together. If they offend someone, they can only do the bottom cleaning and tidying up the groceries, which will not exchange for any points or much food.

　　Ah Shu's clenched fists slowly loosened, and he turned around and limped out: "I'm going out to find Ah Hua."

　　The man stopped him and said, "Ah Shu, Captain Li said that at that time, a dust storm started to blow, and the long-eared star beasts kept attacking everyone. Everyone fled separately, and no one cared about each other. But after running far away, we saw a long-eared star beast chasing in the direction of your sister. You know, if you are targeted by a long-eared star beast, you will not be able to survive."

　　The lame young man shook off the man's hand with a look of pain on his face, "I must find Ah Hua, alive or dead."

　　"Your injuries haven't healed yet, so you can't go out and take risks. Besides, it's already daybreak outside." The temperature is rising now. If you go out in the sun for a while, you will get heatstroke and peel off your skin. In severe cases, you may even die of dehydration.

　　"Besides, a whole night has passed. Even if she hadn't been eaten by the long-eared star beasts, she wouldn't have survived."

The man patted Ah Shu's shoulder. "Don't blame me for being realistic. You know, except for the well-equipped hunting team, ordinary people will have no choice but to die when encountering star beasts. You can only blame Ah Hua for her bad luck."

　　That was his biological sister, with whom he depended on for everything.

　　Ah Shu couldn't comfort himself like this, "Brother Zhao, I want to go find her."

　　"Don't go, you can't find it back."

　　"Yeah, the men in the search team didn't escape. How could a little girl like her survive?"

　　"Besides, you know how dangerous the wilderness is. They would have been eaten up overnight. You'd better not go and die."

　　The people watching around didn't think there was any chance that Ah Hua could survive, and they all tried to persuade and stop Ah Shu.

　　But Ashu didn't want to, so he pushed everyone aside and limped out. As soon as he reached the entrance of the cave, he saw his sister running in with a hot breath: "Brother!"

　　"Ah Hua?" Ah Shu excitedly stepped forward and held Ah Hua's arms to check carefully. "Are you okay? Are you injured?"

　　Brother Zhao stepped forward in disbelief, "Is it really Ah Hua? You are not dead?"

　　"Is she really his sister? She actually came back alive? Did she get killed?" Everyone who had sworn that Ah Hua would never come back looked at Ah Hua awkwardly. So many of them died in the wilderness, but this kid actually came back.

　　"Brother, I'm fine. I'm saved." Ah Hua turned around and let her brother check. After a careful examination, her brother found that except for some peeling skin from the sun, there were no other injuries. "Are you really fine? Captain Li said that they encountered a group of star beasts. Why didn't you run back with them?"

　　"I fell to the other side, and then got lost while running. Later I saw a safe house. The air inside was clean, the temperature was just right, not hot at all, and even star beasts couldn't get in." Ah Hua recounted what happened to her encounter with the wooden house.

　　"The air is clean? The temperature is suitable? Star beasts can't get in? Is there such a fairyland on a waste planet?"

　　"Ahua, are you scared silly? Are you talking nonsense? Ashu, why don't you go find a doctor to check on your sister?" Everyone, including Brother Zhao, subconsciously didn't believe it.

　　Ah Hua: "What I said is true. If you don't believe me, you can go and see it."

　　"If such a place really existed, we wouldn't have to live in caves a long time ago." The others sneered and covered their mouths and coughed. The air was turbid and everyone's lungs were not in good condition.

　　"If you don't believe it, forget it." Ah Hua hadn't slept for a day and a night and was exhausted. She helped her brother back to their cabin.

　　The light downstairs was dim, and the shadows illuminated the layout of the room. There were two small beds against the wall, and a cabinet next to them, which was filled with all the belongings of the brother and sister.

　　Ah Shu asked his sister to sit down and rest, and handed her a bowl of turbid water that he had brought back last night, "You must be thirsty, drink some water."

　　"Brother, I'm not thirsty. I drank some water in the cabin." Ah Hua saw that her brother's lips were dry and chapped, so she pushed some water to him.

　　Ashu was silent for a moment: "Is there really a wooden house?"

　　"Really? I'm not lying." Ah Hua looked outside the door warily. After making sure no one was paying attention, she opened her backpack and took out half a bottle of water and some dried meat, stuffing them into Ah Shu's pockets. "Look, brother. These are long-eared star beast dried meat."

　　Ashu looked at the clean water in the bottle in shock. He hadn't seen such clean water for a long, long time.

　　"Brother, eat quickly. There's more here after you finish." The dried meat that Ah Hua packed in her bag was enough for them to eat for a month!

　　Ah Shu swallowed his saliva at the dried meat that exuded a fresh aroma and said, "Did the man in the wooden house give you all this?"

　　"Yes, if the bag wasn't so small, I could have carried more. Sang Jiu is a good person, she is better than them. If it weren't for her, I might never see you again, brother." Ah Hua's words were full of admiration.

　Ah Shu thought of Captain Li who never cared about the lives of his teammates, and clenched his fists. "If I have the chance, I will definitely thank her."

　　Ah Hua nodded heavily: "Brother, it's really magical there. If a star beast hits it, it will die. And it's not hot in there at all. It feels very safe and comfortable..."

　　After listening to this, Ashu also began to yearn for the wooden house.

　　Sang Jiu, the owner of the wooden house, sneezed when she was scolded. She rubbed her nose in confusion, wondering if she had caught a cold due to the unfamiliar climate.

　　She supported herself on the floor and sat up, stretching her sore back. The ground was too hard and her whole body felt uncomfortable. Add to that the strain caused by the accelerated construction and she felt as if she had been run over by a car.

　　Sang Jiu patted his back uncomfortably: "The ground is so hard, it would be nice to have a comfortable bed."

　　She was already beginning to miss her big, comfortable bed before she was frozen.

　　[You can learn the inheritance of woodworking skills and build comfortable beds, sofas, tables, chairs and other necessities for yourself in the future. ]

　　I don't really want to learn.

　　But in order to have a good sleep tonight, Sang Jiu still turned on the system's display screen and found the item on the inheritance of wooden bed making skills.

　　This is a carpentry skill, and the carpenter master will teach you everything from beginning to end. It is more difficult to learn than building a wooden house because it also includes the steps of early wood selection, planing, polishing, chiseling, jointing, carving, painting, etc.

　　However, once you learn how to make a wooden bed, you can also make other tables, chairs, and wooden barrels. The only difference is whether the skills are good or bad.

　　She learned the theory of carpentry skills and various tools directly from her master, and also ate bread and drank rabbit stew.

　　When she chose the reward last night, she chose the kitchen tool blind box, which contained an iron pot, a set of knives and kitchen utensils, and a box of seasoning salt. These were the daily necessities that she urgently needed. After receiving the reward, she directly used the pot to cook a pot of salty rabbit soup.

　　The broth was very delicious. After drinking it, Sang Jiu felt much better and learned faster. After she had memorized everything, the system placed the tools and wood on the open space for her to practice.

　　The wood was all polished, and you just had to chisel out the grooves for the joints, then symbolically carve small children's flowers on the headboard. After a coat of paint and drying, it became a simple wooden bed.

　　In the afternoon, Sang Jiu moved the bed into the room and looked at the wooden bed he made with satisfaction. Although it looked rough, it felt quite sturdy when patted. Not bad!

　　[Congratulations on learning the basic carpentry skills. Please choose the reward you want: A: A full set of bedding, B: matching furniture, C: Farmland. ]

　　The matching furniture can be made by yourself. As for the field, Sang Jiu simply skipped it. She just wanted to have a good sleep now: "Bedding includes a mattress, quilt, and quilt cover, right?"

　　The system answers yes.

　　Sang Jiu made a request with a smile: "Then I choose A, but I want the same quality as what I used before, and two more sets, I need replacements."

　　After the system was silent for a few seconds, an ordinary mattress, a blanket, two pillows and two sets of light-colored sheets and quilt covers appeared on the wooden bed.

　　Sang Jiu touched the mattress and felt that the elasticity of the mattress was average. "I worked so hard to learn the inheritance, can't you give me a better reward? If you give me a good reward, I will be more motivated to learn the inheritance.

　　[Please keep up the good work. If you improve your skills, you will be rewarded again.] After the system said this, it never appeared again. Sang Jiu was so angry that he wanted to scold it but couldn't find any trace of it.

　　"You still complain that I made it roughly?

It's not easy for me to make it in one day, okay?" Sang Jiu looked at his new bed and had to admit that it was indeed made very roughly.

　　She couldn't bear to watch it herself, so after she had a good rest, she tried to make wooden tables, wooden chairs, wooden cabinets, wooden doors, wooden bowls, and wooden chopsticks. The more she made them, the better her polishing skills became, and she could even carve some delicate patterns on them.

　　Two days later, the cabin had a lot more furniture and looked more like a home.

　　The system is online again: [Congratulations on improving your carpentry skills. Please choose the reward you want: A: Speed up skill B: Full body deep massage experience, C: Farmland. ]

　　Sang Jiu thought about it and made a solemn choice...
