Novel Bin Chapter 21 - (21) World Ranking
Geth just shrugged and clicked on the World Ranking tab. It showed the top 5 highest Levels in the World at this moment.
1. Geth (Lvl 16)
2. Xan Yiu (Lvl 14)
3. Zolis (Lvl 12)
4. FatPussy69 (Lvl 12)
5. SwolePapi (Lvl 11)
Zolis was quick to comment. "Wow, that has to be really embarrassing. I bet the person in 4th place is going to shit when he realizes the whole world will see this eventually."
He just nodded but didn\'t respond, he was still staring at the 5th name on the Leader Leaderboard. \'What an idiot.\' He thought. \'I\'ll definitely have to find him as soon as matters are settled with my family.\'
"Maybe after we get things settled and Level the place a little, we should bring some of our closest friends in." He said.
Zolis replied quickly "That would be nice. It\'s going to get boring around here fast. When do you plan on leaving?"
"In a week at the longest. First I want to see if we can do anything about the housing and sleeping arrangements, can\'t leave you guys on the ground." He chuckled.
They quickly arrived at the flat raised acre and walked towards the back up against the cave wall. He turned an area to mud with a diameter of 16 feet at the cost of 78 MP.
Once that was done, he walked slowly around the edge and turned chunks of mud into earth. He was currently able to harden an area of around 216 cubic inches at the cost of 49 MP. What he was crafting now were bricks, at a size of 3" in height, 6" in width, and 12" in length.
Geth had a large Mana pool and an amazing recovery. He could craft 8 bricks quickly, and it would only take about 4 minutes for his MP to recover. At 80 bricks an hour, he estimated that he could make about a thousand a day. In four days he should have enough to make a simple structure for them to use as a home.
He intended to use the wall of the cave as one of the walls for the structure to save time. It happened to be morning at that time, so he worked constantly throughout the day. He would take breaks occasionally to build structures.
He\'d built a few basic 4 legged chairs and a bunk bed for the kids out of some of the bricks. To secure the structure, he would manipulate mud to seep in-between the bricks, and then harden it.
The result was actually sturdier than cement and much faster. After crafting the basic structure, he would run a super thin layer of mud over and around the item, then quickly harden it. This kept the finish very smooth, so it would be more like sitting or laying on a floor, rather than on the hard ground.
The day progressed in such a way, he would occasionally make a cup or bowl when the bricks had become too monotonous. Zolis would bring him cups of water while he was crafting. She would always have one or two pebbles zooming around her in different patterns.
\'I\'m glad to see that she\'s been practicing her Mana control. I still haven\'t asked her what build she\'s going for. It\'s fine for now, but I\'ll need to know to make plans for future explorations and what gear I should save.\' Her characters in the games she played rarely ever used magic, almost always relying on brute force.
She had also been practicing hard through the day with the hammer that he could barely drag around. While working, he would watch her swing the hammer around with ease, sweat causing her body to glisten in the cavern\'s light.
By the time the evening had come, he\'d made a small room with no roof around the bunk bed. He\'d also managed to make a nice fire pit and rack for grilling if they were able to find meat. Food was definitely something he had to secure in the future. For now, sweet fruits were growing in the vegetation near the pond. They were half the size of watermelon but had the taste and texture of an apple. There was at least a month\'s supply for just a few people.
The cave lights dimmed, signaling that the sun had finally dropped down from view on the outside. Geth was covered in mud and it was time to rest, a pile of over 400 bricks laying to the side.
He checked in the small room and found that the kids were both asleep on the top bunk. "Maybe I should have just made two normal beds for them." He said while shaking his head.. He then turned away from where the living area would be and headed to get clean.
