CSA 21 - I Tried Building a House (Patreon)

While changing places, I might as well level up my Teleportation Skill.
Currently, my Teleportation Skill is Level 5. Since it was an old fragment, the teleportation effect must have deteriorated.
The gate's teleportation effect was level 90, so it seems like it will no longer be usable at some point. Is there anyone who can do maintenance on it?

While I was doing short distance teleportation for practice, I arrived at a riverside that looked nice, so I decided to make this my campsite!
I feel like this is quite deep inside, but if I use Alchemy Skill to wall off the area, monsters and wolves won't be scary.
At my current alchemy level, I can build as many huts as I want.
Before, I couldn't imagine it at all, but now I think I can build even a slightly complicated house. Now I don't have to save money to buy my own house.

Let’s immediately get to cutting down trees.

“Wind Cutter!”

A sharp wind in the shape of a fan ripped the bark off a tree. I guess this is how it is since its level 1.

“Laser Cutter!”

A red ray of light burned the surface of a tree. My Light Magic is also level 1, so it's something like this.

After repeating this several times and raising their level, I was able to generate enough power on the level of cutting down a tree with an ax, so with this, I can make good progress.
Well, I have a brutal skill that turns anything I touch into a potion, so I was able to cut down the trees in no time. ...It's not like I got tired of the monotonous leveling process, okay?

Or rather, this Potion Creation Skill, it’d be pretty dangerous if used on the human body.
When I imagined it being used against a person, it was too gory. Oeeh.

*

I deliberately prepared a mega potion, touched the little finger of my left hand with my right hand, and then, I tried using my Potion Creation Skill.

“Ei! IZ HUUUUUUUUUUUUWZ!?”

Owowowowowithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithurtsithurts!

I immediately poured the mega potion and my missing little finger started to grow back. Gross.

“Haa... haa... never again!”

I forgot how sensitive a child's sense of pain is.
Next time I do it, let’s make a numbing potion first.

I learned the hard way even if I say so myself.... Is it appropriate to use ‘before the root of the tongue dries’ at a time like this?

* (T/N: it means ‘Not long after one finished speaking’. It is often used to immediately say or do something that is contrary to the previous statement.)

I examine the finished potion in detail using my appraisal skill.

“Lotorl's Blood Potion. It has my name on it... By using this potion, you can acquire the skills that Lotorl had. You will become immortal. You can obtain a part of Lotorl’s memories. You will become Lotorl’s follower. Hmm, I'm not a vampire, you know.”

Using Compounding Skill to remove effects other than the one to obtain my skill would be a waste, so I synthesized each into a ring.

A ring that allows you to use the Skills of Compounding, Synthesis, Alchemy, Appraisal, Potion Creation, Flight, Wind Magic, Light Magic, Magic Power Recovery, and Teleportation. Since the amount of potion is small, everything deteriorates and they are all level 1.

Ring of Immortality, you can become immortal only while you are equipped with it.

Ring of My Memory, when equipped, allows you to remember a part of my memories.

Ring of Become My Follower. When equipped, you can become my follower. When you are my follower, it seems that you will do anything and everything I say. Is it a hypnotic brainwashing thing?

Now then, let's use my Alchemy Skill and build a two-story house made of reinforced concrete in the area I had reclaimed.
I clap my hands, slap the ground with both of my hands, and activate my Alchemy Skill.
‘Zumomomo’ my house slowly rose up from the ground.
This is a homage! I wanted to try it at least once! And it was really easy to imagine! Forgive me!

When I entered the house, perhaps because there was no furniture or anything, it felt empty.
On the first floor there is a kitchen, living room, bathroom, toilet, and storage room.
I built a bedroom and a laboratory on the second floor.
Or rather, the soles of my feet are cold without slippers.
Should I put down a mat, or maybe something else...
I wish I had a woodworking skill or something at times like this.

Hm, no, wait?

Alchemy Skill can be used to turn wood into fine powder and then harden it, so let's use that to make wooden flooring.
No, no,  wooden flooring is cold, so if I use planks with a fine honeycomb structure, it should be warm like with cardboard.
Should I try making one?

“Tettere tettete─ tete─. Honeycomb wood powder plank”

It's more fluffy than I expected. Maybe it feels similar to a bundle of tissues?
It’d be a pain to spread this over the whole floor, so I turned the felled wood into wood powder, put it in a bucket made with the Alchemy Skill, scattered it on the floor, and used the Alchemy Skill to spread it all at once.

Finished! It feels great and fluffy under my foot.
Let’s do the same for the second floor’s floor.

I also made the bed from wood powder, and the bed cover and pillows were also made in the same way.
It seems more comfortable than the futon in my previous life.
It might be good to also make clothes from wood powder.

Next, I went to the bathroom and made a rectangular bathtub by just solidifying wood powder.
If it has a honeycomb structure, it feels like the hot water will leak out.
With my current Alchemy level, it would be impossible to create a honeycomb structure that doesn’t allow water to leak out.

Since there is a large amount of wood, I fill the bathtub with hot water that is wood potions. The ingredients are the tree that I made into potions as is. This feels like a forest-scented hot spring made with only natural resources.
...The scent seems to be a little too strong, so let’s dilute it with river water.

Since I have Compounding Skill, I didn't make a drain at the bottom of the bathtub.
If I remove impurities with Compounding Skill, I can reuse the hot water as many times as I like. It won’t be dirty, okay?

The wood potion hot water has filled the bathtub, so I use Light Magic Skill to activate Light Heat and sink a ball of light into the bathtub to warm up the water.
The level of my Light Magic Skill is low, so it may take a while, but let’s think of it as raising its level and do my best.

“Un, it's just the right temperature.”

Now that I’ve gotten a good temperature, I get in the bathtub.

“Aaah... I'm coming back to life!”

I also want to shampoo, so I'll make it later.
Now that my Alchemy Skill level has increased, it seems like I can easily make soap without a potion kit, so let’s make some while I’m at it.

In any case, the bath felt good, so I soaked in the tub until I’m satisfied.

I've done too many things today and I'm really sleepy, so I'll go back to the city tomorrow.
The bed was so comfortable that it felt like I was lying on a cloud. I can't sleep on a regular bed anymore... zzZ.
