Chapter 10: Part 10. Building Artificial Lakes and Planning Missions
"Okay, I'll try to sell these things, and I'll buy a set," Andalas said, and he resold the items he had just bought. But he only sold the water pump while he did not sell the paralon, in case he needed it later.
After getting it, he read the instructions on how to use it. After everything was installed and according to the instructions, Andalas started the machine. It didn't take long to find the spring. Andalas turned off the tool, then he built a bath. Actually, he could use development services, but Andalas chose to do it himself and buy the tools so that the construction could be completed quickly.
For the rocks themselves, there are actually those who sell bricks or blocks or ready-made buildings. However, Andalas used the rocks in the meadow by cutting the grass so that he could collect the rocks. He also built a lake with the help of heavy equipment such as excavators to dig it up. After that, he put rocks on the edge of the lake. Filled the lake with water from the spring. Inside the artificial lake, he filled it with several types of animals that could live in an artificial lake. He also planted water hyacinth to keep the lake clean. He also added two storks to live in the lake.
Then he drained the water with a pipeline to bring it to the plants. Although they can live well, water is also important for plants. So he ran water pipes towards the plants, and then on some of the pipes, he attached a fountain tap so that when alive it could spread to all the plants. He also installed a device to regulate the water to be flushed every 6 hours.
It doesn't feel like just taking care of the water to water his garden, the time is late in the afternoon. Andalas immediately took care of his place so that he could bathe, and around eight o'clock at night he could only lay his body on the bed he built from the grass.
He had dinner with the steak he ordered at the restaurant on the app. He had changed his clothes into a t-shirt, hoodie, jeans, and mountain boots. He also bought a blanket so it wouldn't be too cold for him to sleep. He is now strategizing what mission to do first. From level four to ten. After much deliberation, he finally chose mining, where he would focus on finding gold, although he would still do diamond mining and pearl shell cultivation.
He also prepared a basket of fruits and planned to buy some tools so that the excavation land could be improved directly and planted with trees that were suitable for building on the former mine and grasses that were of course also suitable for planting on the former mine. Even if there is no task in the system to do the greening of the former mine, Andalas will still do it. After all, if there is a mining area in the system, it must be an area specifically for mining. It's just that, even if no one lives there, shouldn't we love nature? Don't continue to destroy nature to enrich yourself, because if we are always selfish to enrich ourselves, then the area we live in will be damaged over time. It's true, this country is different from the country he lived in. But why don't we keep greening it? Because, as Julia said, the wealth he has can be brought to his world, which means that the damage from mining can affect his country.
After being firm with his plan, he then chose to build a research building as well as a place where he could print money that could replace dollars. He has been looking through the internet, and it turns out that in the cosmic world there is a website to find out, like in his world. He found out what money is made of. He also found out about the price of gold, diamonds, and pearls and the environmental impact of the three. The one that did not have excessive effects was pearls, but because it affected marine life, Andalas chose not to focus on pearls even though he would still cultivate them until he reached the target required by the system.
Diamonds are in second place for environmental damage, the most damaging being gold mining. But from the way of maintenance so that the soil can be good and not disturb the environment, it is quite a long process to improve the soil because the soil from diamond mining is so hard that it is difficult for plants to live. So Andalas chose gold, which has the highest environmental damage but handles the soil faster than diamonds.
All the things he needs for green gold mining he has prepared and has spent a lot of money on if he totals it. However, Andalas did not care about that. He was sure that the fruits he brought were enough for him to eat. All this time he had only eaten a little bread to survive until this moment, so why not, with the amount of fruit he had, he could not survive until he reached the tallest building?
He once went three days without eating and only drank water for his wife, who was craving food from fancy restaurants. He bought the food his wife wanted at the fancy restaurant, and every night when he came home, he would bring food to his wife. He did this so that his wife wouldn't worry if he didn't have any money. So every time he came home, he would bring food for his wife so he wouldn't worry.
His wife works from morning to evening as a salesperson, so every morning he will not be prepared breakfast by his wife. Moreover, at that time the food ingredients at home were also running low, so he always told his wife that he had eaten when in fact he only drank water.
So, it didn't matter if he had to lose a lot of money, because maybe later he could have money again. After all, he still has fruits that he can sell and make money. So, he doesn't need to worry if he is short of money. Gold can also be sold to a gold shop if he really needs money.
Andalas lay down and looked up at the starry night sky. A beautiful night sky that he could never see like this because his work was always at night. Andalas smiled, his hand stretched forward as if he could hold the star. "I will reach it," Andalas said with a smile before finally closing his eyes.
He needed to rest so that tomorrow he could be even more eager to complete his mission. To finish mining gold, diamonds, and pearls. He will not take much to the diamonds and pearls. The main focus remains gold mining.
Morning was approaching, at five in the morning, Andalas had awakened from sleep. He usually wakes up early if he doesn't work at night. So, now he was ready with his backpack containing his fruits, blanket, change of clothes, and toiletries. He had also cleaned herself up. Once everything was ready, Andalas pressed the button where he would be taken to the level six mission where the mining would take place.
In no time, he was in the mining area, and the mission map was now in his hands. On the mission map, there are already clues where there are many gold, diamond, and pearl mines. Andalas will first go to pearl production. After that, go to the gold mine.
Use gemstones to get the fastest way. Arriving at his place, Andalas must make a shelter where the pearl production shells will be cultivated. He bought the tools needed for cultivation. He started doing everything himself. After his pearl cultivation shelter was ready, he now looked for the shells that could make the best pearls.
With clues on the map, Andalas was able to find where the shell produced the best pearls. From the clouds that Andalas did not realize, someone saw everything you did. A sharp-eyed grayish man almost two meters tall.
