"Why is every visit from her so far so damn stressful?!"
I groaned as I rested my head against the table, only looking up when Kalia came over and stroked my shoulder, my daughter giving me a wry smile as I looked up towards her.
Caressing her hand, I sighed and stood up, smiling back as I said "Well, she does think your tea is delicious, so that is a rather large compliment for you, my dear daughter~!"
She chuckled before kissing me softly, her lips brushing against mine as she soothed my nerves.
I deepened the kiss for a moment before pulling away, nodding to Prixisia as I said "We can get back to what we were doing now! We'll talk more about her offer when the others come back and we're eating dinner. Until then, let's get some more work done!"
They nodded, and I added "Add some more lemongrass and tea to the crops we're growing, as well as some grape trees. If we can get them growing well in this soil on their own, that'd be great, and if we can mass produce them, that'd be even better! A deal with a Duchess for tea and wine... how lucrative would that be~?"
Kalia chuckled again and nodded, answering my rhetorical question anyways as she leaned into my side "Quite the lucrative deal indeed~! And that's if we only sell to the Duchess herself! She said nothing about an exclusivity deal in regards to the tea, just that she wanted shipments! We could make some teahouses as well... or a cafe that sells all types of non alcoholic drinks."
"We certainly could... wheat would remain a priority on that other plot then for flour, so that we could make something to be sold with the drinks... Ah, we'll dig deeper later! For now, let's get those crops planted and trees planned out, alright? I'll continue on the house!"
Making my way back over, I looked between the different walls before shrugging, retrieving my shovel and beginning to dig yet another large hole, expanding the basement some more as I began the next set of foundations for the house.
Now that I had my groove with shoveling, and a stronger desire to get everything finished quicker, I moved swiftly as I began to excavate the earth as I dug out a twenty by ten pit to start, still deciding on the house layout in my mind as I worked tirelessly.
Rhefia eventually made her way out of the cart with the three children in her arms, Aka and Ehretia fast asleep while Ipoala looked around curiously, continuing to examine her surroundings before settling into her Dama's chest when they got over to the site of our house.
The Deerkin began to help in the same way she did before, allowing her threads of Earth Mana to compact the dirt and hold it back as I worked, watching me harvest a large amount of soil for the production of clay in the future as well as finish a large portion of the foundation in just a single day.
When I took a midday break and fell into the Deerkin's lap - after Kalia took the children away - I enjoyed myself a little as my wife blasted me with semen, filling my womb with three thick shots of her sperm as I bounced on her cock for almost twenty minutes.
Topping me off with her thick seed, Rhefia gave me a deep kiss before retrieving the children and walking away for a moment, giving me a few minutes with Kalia as she lapped the remaining sperm away from my pussy, making me cum again as she knelt in front of me.
As tempted as I was to summon a penis and fuck her for a little bit, I held back and sent her on her way with a promise, watching as she sashayed her wide hips for me and made me shake my head with a wry smile as I caught her playful smile.
Besides sex, my break was productive because I not only got some real food in my stomach as well - a nice platter of noodles and fish drizzled with a cream sauce that Rhefia brought back over - but I also leveled up my Survival System a few times, getting it to level 78.
With those three points, I purchased two skills, one of which cost two, but the first one I purchased was a simple one.
[Digger I : Increases efficiency with all excavation type tools (shovel, drills, pickaxes, etc) by 10%]
Again, it was an incredibly simple tool, but I now could get so much more done so much quicker that it was worth it; besides, it helped me mine stone as well with pickaxes, and that might eventually be useful?
[Architect : Unlocks additional Building Blueprints, unlocks Room Assignment (assign a room as a bedroom to increase resting efficiency), and decreases materials needed for buildings by 10%]
That was what I was excited for, since another exampled listed for the Room Assignment feature was this:
[Kitchen : Decreases cooking time by 10% and ingredient cost by 10% (Can be upgraded for specific foods)]
[Forge : Decreases smelting time by 10% and material cost by 10% (Can be upgraded for specific tools)]
This was an incredible find, and since I hadn't finished constructing literally anything for the house, this was HUGE.
Besides, the benefits - even if they were just for me - were insane, and I was almost certain that the ones that were like the bedroom would be universal, meaning this could make the entire family get a guaranteed good rest each night.
That was a small thing that stacked up very quickly with each day we used these rooms, so...
On top of that, I now also had a bit more knowhow and ideas in my head in regards to the house itself, so I got back to work and continued to work on digging out the foundation for my house.
