The Strong Female Lead Versus The Most Miserable Male Lead

Chapter 80: Chapter 80 The Academic Overachiever’s Wall
 

The second day, just as dawn was breaking, Nian Shutong prepared to step out for work.

As she walked into the living room, she saw only Rubble still resting; Ha Ha was nowhere to be seen.

Without paying much attention, she stepped out of the small wooden house and immediately caught sight of a figure busy working in the field.

“Ah… I’d feel embarrassed not feeding you properly!”

Shaking her head, Nian Shutong thought of heading to the kitchen when, huh?

“Xiao He, you’re up early.”

She hadn’t expected Fu Yunhe to be awake, considering his health was hardly any better than that of Rubble, who was still resting inside.

“Good morning, I just got up too,” replied Yun He.

Nian Shutong walked over to the kitchen area, taking out rice and eggs and placing them all on the stone counter.

“Leave it all there, if you wake up early, then you cook,” she instructed.

“Alright,” Fu Yunhe took the items and began preparing breakfast. It was still steamed rice served with egg custard.

Seeing that someone had taken over breakfast duties, Nian Shutong didn’t linger long and continued with her work.

However, she wasn’t heading to clear the fields but instead, she planned to study how to build a house.

She could buy one, sure, but with the tens of thousands of Star Coins it cost, it pained her heart.

Their three meals a day were not cheap either.

Moreover, today she also planned to switch things up in the live stream and try different foods.

No matter how tasty food is, you can’t just sell the same thing on a live stream.

Early in the morning, Nian Shutong moved a pile of stones, stacking them to the left of the small wooden house, planning to build a stone house next to it.

Nian Shutong worked quickly; the stone transportation was soon completed. Then, it was time to lay the foundation.

She started digging a hole, roughly seventy to eighty square meters in size.

Only Nian Shutong could dig out most of it in the time it took others to have breakfast.

After finishing the digging, before she had time to tamp down the foundation, Fu Yunhe called them in to eat.

Breakfast was devoured quickly and afterwards, everyone continued with their work.

The area Ha Ha was clearing was soon to be finished.

Now, opposite the small wooden house, a large area was completely bare, though there were still many large trees on both sides.

Before cutting down any trees, Shutong received an environmental lesson from Daodao: not to cut down too many, but also not to leave so many standing.

The whole planet was overgrown with greenery, and the soil hadn’t been properly nourished.

After the meal, Nian Shutong tamped down the foundation and, under Daodao’s technical guidance, she mixed up some muddy clay and began stacking the wall.

This was a task requiring technical skill, and Nian Shutong had to rebuild several times as the walls weren’t stable and kept falling.

“Put it here,” a metallic finger pointed to a specific spot, and with a mix of skepticism and trust, Nian Shutong placed the stone where Rubble had indicated.

Seamless and perfect.

“Impressive!” Nian Shutong freely lavished praise on Rubble.

“Of course, Rubble has always been impressive. Please don’t state such obvious things,” Rubble replied.

Great! She had just made a fool of herself.

“Rubble, how do you know where to place them?” Nian Shutong picked up another stone and positioned it under Rubble’s seemingly casual direction.

Again, it fit perfectly.

“It’s quite simple, all the stones need to make as flat a surface as possible while maintaining balance in the support below. This angle is 37 degrees, this one 98 degrees, so this stone should go here, forming a 180-degree flat angle.”

“Considering their stability, so…”

Rubble explained a great deal, but how much was there in total?

Nian Shutong had already stacked four walls, each one meter high.

“Did you understand any of that?” Rubble looked at Nian Shutong, who had been focusing on stacking stones, and asked seriously.

Nian Shutong, as she picked up another stone, paused for a moment, tilted her head up to Rubble, and asked, “Did you finish creating what was on your blueprint?”
