"The first day's mission objective is still simple. I expanded a few new mine tunnels in advance to prepare for tomorrow's objective. There shouldn't be any major problems in the first few days."
"Yes, once the scale is increased in the later stages, it won't rely so much on individuals."
Old Deer chuckled easily, looking at the corner of the fence peeking out near the hill, and said:
"Then let's go see Mr. Latis's results."
"Okay, let's go!"
Appi ran off with great enthusiasm.
A dozen seconds later, when they saw what was inside the fence, their hearts felt as if they had been instantly swept by a gale, and they were unable to calm down for a long time.
"Oh, you're here? I'll be right there after I finish this last round!"
Latis laughed and patted the cow's butt in front of him.
"Oh, another one has been born."
He pulled the calf out from under the cow and tossed it behind him into the herd of nearly fifty calves.
"Alright, that's enough for today. Let's call it a day."
Latis twisted his waist, stared blankly at the four cows and four sheep lined up with their rear ends facing him, and asked:
"What's wrong? You don't want to leave? I'm leaving now, I'm not going to keep you company."
He turned and looked into the crowded interior of the fence, squinting.
"Ten, thirty, seventy... ninety-three, ninety-four... never mind, I'm too lazy to count."
He leaped over the fence, hooked his well-seasoned hands around Api and Old Deer's shoulders, and grinned:
"How is it? The results are impressive!"
"This this……"
The old deer seemed to have lost its ability to speak, staring blankly at the herd of cattle and sheep, unable to utter a word.
“There’s a smell…” Appi murmured, glancing at Latis’s hand before subtly taking two steps forward.
"I'm super!"
Old Deer then realized what was happening and excitedly shouted:
"It's all set! It's all set! Even if we're free all day tomorrow, we'll have enough weight to pass the weigh-in the morning after tomorrow! In that case, why don't we just go and gather materials tomorrow to build the Nether Portal!"
Latis and Appi paused for a moment, then said in unison:
"It's not impossible..."
After a day's work, the three of you gather together, intending to enjoy a nice dinner.
Seeing the bread in Old Deer's hand and the rotten meat in Api's hand, you couldn't help but stop them. Then you borrowed some iron from Api, made a crucible, and a bucket, and went into the enclosure.
A few minutes later, you returned carrying a bucket of milk and some beef, and to their astonishment, you lit a fire under the crucible and made a hot pot.
[Boiling beef with its hide burning, the beef weeps in the pot... You serve two bowls of beef soup, and after hesitating for a moment, Old Deer and Ah Pi eat the bowls and the soup together.]
Faced with their increasingly admiring gazes, you couldn't help but chuckle awkwardly; you'd forgotten to add salt earlier...
After a satisfying meal, you put away the cooking pot and sighed. "No wonder even the gentlest of us, Ate, never praised your cooking. You truly are a corporate slave who eats takeout every day."
The next day, following the rules of the competition, you brought the harvested crops and livestock to a cave near the beach. After a moment of silence, you vaguely saw a pair of large eyes open inside the cave.
[After seeing the mosaic-like image of cows and sheep, the big-eyed man's pupils dilated for a few seconds. You heard a dripping sound of saliva, followed by a deafening howl, and then the big-eyed man turned and left.]
"Alright, the first weighing passed. I'll go plant the seeds and stuff. Latis, you take this wheat and use it to breed cattle and sheep. This afternoon I'm planning to go mining with Appi, what about you?" Old Deer asked. You looked at them, scratched your head, indicating you planned to explore the surroundings first.
"Alright, we were so busy completing the mission that we didn't even see what the area around the camp looked like..." You put away your loot and prepared to start your morning work. You were herding the cattle and sheep when you hesitated and looked back at the cave one last time. You weren't sure if it was just your imagination, but you felt that the whooshing sound earlier sounded a bit like a cat's meow...
Let's try using fish...
"Mumu, have you ever participated in this competition?"
Latis took two strands of spider silk and three sticks from a chest in the camp and asked:
Do you know what kind of monster lives in that cave?
"I didn't have any of these things back then!" Mu Mu's voice seemed a bit wiser today. After a few moments of humming and groaning, she said:
"I always felt that the aura of that monster was somewhat similar to that of an old friend who used to study necromancy..."
"Necromantic magic?" Latis paused, then asked:
"You guys have magic here? Wait, are you getting dementia?"
"What dementia, get lost!" Mu Mu shouted, then said hesitantly, "Hmm... it feels like I've regained some memories and common sense, but it's still very blurry... I only remember that back then, our group seemed to have made some kind of decision to carry out some secret plan, but no, I can't remember..."
She covered her head, rolled around a few times screaming, and then slowly calmed down before saying:
"You just asked about magic? Of course magic exists in this world. Powerful magicians can create enchanted books, and we apply our magical knowledge to various tools to solve all sorts of problems. You could say that human life, from birth to death, is the source of our magical wisdom; progress comes from need..."
"Wait a minute, you just mentioned birth, aging, sickness, and death. Do you experience birth, aging, sickness, and death?" Latis asked, frowning as he walked to the beach carrying the fishing rod he had just made.
"Yes, when I first met Pallas, she was just a tiny little girl! In the last time I remembered her, she had grown so mature, and her figure was even better than mine, haha..."
"what?"
Latis sat cross-legged on the beach, casting his fishing rod. He couldn't help but recall Queen Pallas's appearance. Judging from her attire, she should indeed be a beautiful girl, but what about her figure?
"Wait! Mu Mu's soul form... has breasts and buttocks! That's when I remembered!"
He looked thoughtful, gripping the fishing rod firmly in his hand, thinking to himself:
"No way... Could it be that decades ago, everyone here was normal? Or was the body shape she described just a texture on a blocky figure?"
"Mumu, do you know why the people here look different from me? I mean, why are they all cubes?"
"Hmm..." Mu Mu thought for a long time before saying:
"I don't know... I haven't recovered my magic power yet, so I can't sense anything..."
"Ok."
Latis shook his head, dismissing the doubts in his mind.
"What you need to know will come eventually, and what's meant to happen will happen..."
thump!
He grabbed the fishing rod suddenly, pulled it up hard, and shouted:
Just like this fish!
Wow!
A dark figure was tossed high into the air by the fishing line and fell onto the beach.
Latis stepped forward, picked up the thin, round piece that was only slightly thick, and scratched his head.
"What is this?"
He flipped it over and saw a line of words in a small corner.
[Layered Birth Control Kit (Second Generation), Personally Made by Master Wandefer]
"This looks familiar... Wait, emulator, is your ad real?"
A distant memory suddenly flooded his mind, and Latis, as if feeling a burning sensation, flung the cube back into the water. After a long silence, he couldn't help but mutter:
"Damn it, the condom came out before the truth..."
……
Two minutes later, he stared at the sterilization sleeve on the fishing rod and fell into deep thought.
To prevent it from being caught again, he buried the condom in the ground.
Five minutes later, a thin, black square fell onto the beach.
[Layered Intrauterine Device (Fifth Generation), Personally Made by Master Wandefer]
"What the hell……"
Latis buried the condom back into the ground.
A minute later, a thick, round block was attached to the fishing rod.
"Boiled!"
Thirty seconds later, a bright pink, semi-transparent cube fell to the ground.
"His!"
Two minutes later, Latis fell silent as he stared at the thin sheet that had been flung into the tree.
……
"Why, why did this happen?..."
He sat on the beach, looking at the rows of condoms in front of him, and began to doubt himself.
"Could it be that this guy is really the reincarnation of Brother Bull? Is that why he's so attractive to condoms?"
Latis took a few deep breaths, his gaze shifting to the condoms on the ground, when suddenly his expression turned serious.
Wait a minute, the shape of these condoms seems to be changing gradually...
He reached out and arranged the contraceptive condoms in the order of their iterations.
The first generation was round and had some thickness; the second generation was still round, but much thinner; the third generation became square... and the later ones became thinner and thinner until they became a small, thin sheet...
Latis picked up the thin slice and squinted.
"Does this suggest a change in the morphology of those using sterilization condoms? Then again, it's questionable whether modern blocky people even need reproductive behavior anymore..."
He buried this thought in his mind, planning to find a blocky person to study it later. Then he stood up, about to continue his swing, when he suddenly paused.
"Hiss... Can I even use this thing? The description sounded pretty good..."
He hesitated for a moment, picked up the thin slice, gestured with it, and shook his head.
"We still need to use round ones..."
Latis picked up the first-generation sterilization condom, looked at the black cylinder, and couldn't help but complain:
"Is this for men or women...?"
