Chapter 21: Structure cards.
• Lvl 2 Structure card: Lumber Mill.
(A Lumber Mill Processes wood for construction purposes)
Each and every single structure card he’d received were going to be useful soon enough, especially the Livestock Fenced Pastures, he wasn’t sure if demons were omnivores, but with this he could rare some meat for his militias consumption.
The cultivation fields and HardHat buildings as well as the farmers building were all useful in their own way as well.
Su Ping led everyone back to Ming Yao’s den, since it was the center of his territory, he thought he might as well build the vital structures near it.
[Constructing HardHat buildings x 3]
He decided to build all three hardhat buildings in one go. As for the Cultivation fields and Livestock Ranches.
He felt like it was to early to create them, after all, their numbers were still small. Plus, he wasn’t sure if creating all the structures in one place was the best development move.
Ming Yao, Ning An and Yang Lan, as well as the ten imp demons, were all stunned by the sight of the 6 buildings emerging out of thin air like magic.
" Master, what are those things?" Yang Lan asked, clearly confused.
" I’m not the best at explaining things, you’ll just have to watch and see." Su Ping said before ordering all ten of the imp demons to enter one HardHat building.
The Imp demons looked skeptical and wary but seeing Su Pings expression growing impatient, they all hurried inside.
The HardHat building then released a purple black glow which dimmed the next moment. Shortly afterwards, the Imp demons walked out but their appearances had changed significantly.
They now all had Custom made hardhats with openings for their horns which fitted them perfectly, and instead of a tool belt round their waist, there was a strange pouch tied to their pouch.
Su Ping nodded on seeing their transformation, the Imp demons themselves were all excited, explaining to him that they felt some sort of power imbuing their minds with knowledge while inside their.
" Master it was amazing, I didn’t think it would actually be possible to protect one’s self with wood."
" Who knew we could turn such things into so many useful constructions."
The three fox demons were confused, not understanding a word the Imp demons were saying but Su Ping on the other hand was all smiles, he knew that the HardHat building definitely worked.
Feeling curious he asked them what the pouch on their waists we’re after all, he only remembered seeing things like a tool belts or tool boxes, not a pouch.
" Hahaha, Master this is the best yet. It’s a storage item gifted by your creation." Said an imp demon as he reached inside and pulled out a hammer longer than the pouch itself. The sight left the three fox demons dumbfounded, even Su Ping was a bit taken aback.
Su Ping tested the pouches trying to figure out if other things could be placed into them but regrettably, they could not. The pouches only functioned as a storage item for each Imp demon, they couldn’t even put each other’s own building items in another’s bag.
’ The system sure is fickle.’ Su Ping sighed but moved past it. He now had his own building squad, though few, he was sure he could increase their numbers in no time.
Su Ping then tasked the Construction-Imp demons with building a defensive wooden wall round the central territorial area. They didn’t have to worry about nails because the storage pouches seemed to possess a constant supply of them.
Su Ping then activated the Lumber Mill building, unlike the dome like hardhat buildings, The lumber Mill resembled a real lumber Mill but with a twist.
It’s only openings were two, one for putting the collected wood into it and one where the processed wood would exit from.
Su Ping didn’t mind the strangeness, he was more grateful that the building operated fine on its own without electricity, which was a major relief but, he suddenly realized he needed someone to help procure Wood for the construction.
The Imp demons were on the small side so it would hinder construction if they were to do it and he didn’t want to burden his 3 fluffy foxes with such rigorous work.
" Master, you look troubled, is something the matter." Su Ping didn’t know when but Ming Yao stood Infront of him with a worried look at the sight of her master looking troubled.
" It’s nothing, I just realized that it’ll be too much work if the imp demons were tasked with procuring the wood for production, after all, I’m not sure their small forms can handle such."
" I’ll gather the wood myself." He said with a sigh. Looks like his job was never done, for some reason he can’t seem to catch a break.
" Master you mustn’t!" Ming Yao’s sudden raised reproach stunned him, stopping him in his tracks.
Ming Yao stiffened realized what she’d just done but Ning An suddenly came over with a nervous look.
" Master please forgive Ming Yao, I think what she’s trying to say is that it would be unfit for you to do such demeaning things. Please allow us to do it." Ning An said hurriedly as if afraid she would be too slow to quell Su Pings anger.
Su Ping blinked, before staring at the three of them from head to toe, they were no bigger than the imp demons, infact they were even smaller, so how would they be able to pull that off, he wondered.
’ Do they have a specific ability for the job that I don’t know about?’
" And how would you be able to go about doing such?" Su Ping asked with raised brows, he was touched that they wanted to help him but he still didn’t want them getting hurt, after all, they were his precious subordinates.
" Umm..." The three of them turned silent, it was obvious they had no idea how to do such.
. At least they had good intentions.’
Su Ping sighed before turning around, getting ready to head out.
