Terraria: Cruel World Legends

"Hmm? You're awake. Then learn how to build a house with me today. After all, having a base will give you the motivation to go out for adventure." Andrew closed the book and then smiled.

"Well, okay... By the way, guide, what book is that?" Xi Yao said, pointing to the green book.

"This? Oh, this is a book you can't understand."

"I don't believe it." After saying that, Xi Yao took the very thick book from Andrew's hand, opened it and took a look...

"Ah? What's this word?"

The words in the book are a bit strange, like some strange ancient text.

"I said you don't understand it, but you still want to read it. Let me teach you how to build a house."

Andrew snatched the book away, then took out a pickaxe and dismantled the small matchbox in front of him.

……

Andrew cleared his throat: “Ahem, listen.

First, use wood and resin to make some wooden platforms, tables, chairs and doors that will be used later."

Xi Yao nodded: "... um... I remember it, and then what?"

"Ahem, next, listen carefully: First, use wooden boards to build a foundation with a length-to-width ratio of 2:1. As for the length, it's up to you.

Then build a dividing point halfway forward from the center of the rectangular foundation, and build from the other end with the same height as the width, and continue paving it flat to the dividing point. You can use resin to glue it.

Then, after reaching the dividing point, lay the staircase-shaped roof. When it reaches the door, lay it vertically downwards and dig out a space for the door.

Well, let's just take this small step first." Andrew said, looking at Xiyao with a smile.

"Uh..." Xi Yao was silent.

"Huh? What, didn't you understand?" Andrew asked with one eye closed.

"Uh... I understood a little bit. Let me try." As he said that, Xi Yao took out the materials.

After a while...

"Huh, you're done!"

Xi Yao clapped his hands, looked at the wooden house frame in front of him and smiled, then looked around.

"Guide! How is it?" Xi Yao called out to Andrew, but found that he was not around.

"Guide?"

"Guide...towards...woo!" Xi Yao turned around and was hit hard in the face by a slime again.

"Hiss... It's you again..."

Then Xi Yao drew out his tin broadsword and swung it at the slime, but the slime jumped over Xi Yao's head.

Xi Yao frowned slightly, then secretly took out a brick from his backpack and threw it at the slime, but the slime made a micro jump and easily dodged the brick.

Just as the blue slime was about to make its next big jump, Xi Yao seized the opportunity and stabbed a sword into the slime's body!

Immediately afterwards, Xi Yao lifted the sword up and easily split it in two. The two slimes moved a few times and then stopped wriggling...

"Huh... This thing is really hard to deal with... Where on earth did the guide go?"

Before Xi Yao finished speaking, he saw Andrew walking out from behind a huge tree.

"Not bad, Xiyao, now you have mastered some basic combat skills, which is good for you at your current stage."

"Hmm? Guide? Where did you go just now... Never mind, let's see what the results are." As he spoke, Xi Yao pointed to the wooden house frame behind him.

"Guide, how is it?"

"Well, not bad." Andrew praised.

"Oh, it's all because of your good teaching. So what's the next step?"

"The next step is the second step: first cover the interior with wood, which will become the wall, and then put in wooden doors, wooden tables, wooden chairs, and then insert torches in the corners of the ceiling. After that, replace the glass here and here, and this is the layout of a room.

Then, use the platform in this corner to build a staircase leading to the second floor, and then I will build the second floor. After that, I will burn some glass to install windows in the room. Now you can explore the surroundings." Andrew said with a smile.

"...Andrew, I noticed that you speak a lot and at a fast speed, which makes it difficult for people to hear you clearly." Xi Yao complained.

"Hmm? Really? You'll get used to it."

Xiyao: (?_? ?)

Soon, Xiyao built the first floor according to Andrew's instructions... If you take a closer look, you will find it even a little warm...

A table, two chairs facing each other, and four torches flickering in the corner, give people a simple and safe feeling.

Andrew looked at it and said:

"Well, that's good. Well, it's 1pm now, so there's still plenty of time. Go explore the surroundings first. I'll build the layout for you. But don't go too far...

Oh, by the way, I just found a cave nearby. If you see it, don’t go in... unless you have my permission."

"Oh, okay. I'll be leaving then." After saying that, Xi Yao walked away.

Andrew looked at Xiyao's back in silence.

……

In front of the cave——

Xi Yao stood at the entrance of the cave: "Is this the cave the guide mentioned?"

Seeing the pitch-black darkness inside, he was not afraid but curious and wanted to go in.

"…Forget it. Since the guide told me not to go in, I'll just listen to him."

As he was thinking, Xi Yao turned around, and was suddenly attacked by a slime again. Due to inertia, Xi Yao leaned back, then missed a step and fell directly into the cave.

"Ah-ah-ah!"

boom!

After Xi Yao pulled the slime off and split it with a sword, he felt pain in his left knee. He looked down and saw a wound on his knee that was still bleeding.

"Guide! Guide! Andrew!" Xi Yao shouted.

...But only the echo in the cave responded to him...

"Hiss... Is this place so high from the ground?" Xi Yao looked up and found that he was at least 20 meters above the ground.

Xi Yao looked at the exit, feeling a little confused... Is it possible to never go back?

Xi Yao slowly raised his head and looked around in the darkness, only to see a wooden box not far from him.

Out of curiosity, he dragged his injured leg to the box and opened it. Inside, he saw a golden belt, some small bottles filled with red potions, and some miscellaneous gadgets.

"what is this?"

As he spoke, Xi Yao picked up the red bottle, unscrewed the lid and smelled it. There was a faint scent of flowers and plants.

Xi Yao hadn't drunk a drop of water since he met Andrew, and now he was thirsty. After thinking for a moment, he raised his head and poured all the water in the bottle into his throat.

The water tastes a little bitter, but it has a faint breath of life.
