Lin Wanwan quickly took a shower, washed her hair, and then comfortably soaked in the bathtub.

The hotel’s design is quite unusual, as the glass window by the bathtub is transparent. Even though she knows that people outside can’t see inside and it’s only visible from the inside, and this is the top floor.

But as Lin Wanwan lay in the bathtub overlooking the unobstructed cityscape outside, she still felt insecure.

She didn’t soak for too long before she got up, simply put on a bathrobe, and headed to the beauty salon, where the masseur and beautician arranged by the butler were already waiting for her.

She enjoyed an hour in the modern era — bathing, massages, skincare, and having someone blow-dry her hair.

Meanwhile, the butler, following Lin Wanwan’s instructions, went to purchase a micro-tillage all-in-one machine and cement, delivering them directly to the entrance of the small warehouse she temporarily rented.

Lu Shouyue contacted her once during this time, but knowing she still wanted to act on her own in the afternoon, didn’t rush back.

His friends arrived one after another, and when not talking about love, men still preferred to hang out and play together.

After relaxing, Lin Wanwan got back in the car and went to the small warehouse. She was going back to the ancient times, making good use of time to solidify her territory.

The 3D printer that could print buildings was too big to move through the Space-Time Gate, otherwise, Lin Wanwan would want to learn 3D printing to truly perform magic tricks.

Using a 3D printer to print a small house of 100 square meters takes less than 24 hours, while printing a building with fewer than three floors doesn’t take more than three days.

In modern times, Lin Wanwan already felt it was magic; one can only imagine the shock effect it would have in ancient times.

Unfortunately, it was just too large to move in.

With a slight sense of regret, Lin Wanwan moved several micro-tillage all-in-one machines filled with diesel into the Space-Time Gate.

After a busy round of work, she broke out in a thin sweat. Although it had just rained, the weather was still too hot.

Moreover, it hadn’t rained in ancient times, making it even hotter than the modern era.

At this time in ancient times, it was already nightfall. After dinner, most people, to save lamp oil and energy, went to bed early.

Occasional dog barks made the night sky even more silent.

Outside Lin Wanwan’s small wooden house, two people were still guarding. The young and strong men in the village took turns guarding the sacrificial spirit with great tacit understanding.

Upon hearing the sound of machinery starting up inside the house, the two people guarding the porch exchanged a glance, their expressions becoming even more respectful.

The sacrificial spirit was performing magic again. So amazing!

Regarded as an omnipotent sacrificial spirit, Lin Wanwan was checking the nine machines that had passed through the Space-Time Gate. She found that only two were intact; the others were broken and couldn’t start at all. She would have to take them back to the modern era later.

In fact, this probability was already much better than Lin Wanwan anticipated, considering other high-tech products like mobile phones and video recorders had even higher failure rates.

She moved the broken machines back to the modern warehouse and then brought over the remaining bags of cement.

In the ancient world, Lin Wanwan did not plan to build a fortified building with reinforced concrete because the local construction workers weren’t as skilled as the craftsmen of Mao County. Nor did she have someone like Xiao Chong to help address any shortcomings, and most importantly, she lacked a master craftsman like Wang Dulei to oversee everything.

Lin Wanwan herself had only a half-understanding of building houses, and she dared not direct the construction in case it collapsed.

This isn’t something you can instantly master just by reading a book on military talent resources. Besides, she hadn’t seriously studied the content of that book, simply because she didn’t have enough time.

So, she let the locals build using the techniques they knew. The ancient city walls made of red bricks, glutinous rice, and ox and sheep blood were also very strong, albeit slow and costly.

Lin Wanwan didn’t mind the high cost, and she could only endure the slow speed.

Fortunately, she could transport cement over from the modern era, significantly speeding up progress. In ancient Lion City, it was not easy to buy enough materials to build walls, with more stones than anything else.

After moving the items, the small wooden house was almost packed full,

Lin Wanwan couldn’t be bothered to return to the modern era to freshen up. She simply washed up by the water tank in the backyard and went to sleep. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

To speed up progress in the ancient world, her conditions were really tough this night, with no latex pillows or leather mats.

She wished she had brought them over, as she wouldn’t need to return them until she went back to Yongcheng.

After all, such a minor flaw was no big deal, and Lu Shouyue was already aware of it.

She had already planned to give Lu Shouyue a surprise after the birthday party!

On the morning of January 3rd, Lu Shouyue’s birthday, Lin Wanwan returned to the modern era, freshened up, and comfortably went to the beauty salon for beauty treatments and styling, preparing to appear at the party looking beautiful.

Today’s schedule was allocated to Lu Shouyue, so she didn’t plan to return to the ancient era.

From New Year’s Eve until six o’clock on January 3rd, Lin Wanwan had been in the ancient world for a full ten days, achieving significant results.

She spent half a day convincing — oh no, winning over a group of "followers," and spent the rest of the time developing infrastructure on her territory.

Preparing for the possibility that she might not be able to stay in the Great Tang in the future, her own castle was already taking shape with one layer, and ’rapid’ would be an understatement. All thanks to the ample manpower in ancient times and the material support from the modern era.

Besides the sturdy castle, the Dai people on her territory also built Lin Wanwan an elegant elevated bamboo house with a wooden shingle roof.

There really is strength in numbers. In just a few days, Lin Wanwan had her first real new residence in ancient Lion City.

Lin Wanwan liked the village chief’s small wooden house too, but compared to the elevated bamboo house that suited the local weather better, the small wooden house paled in comparison as it was lower and more prone to snakes, insects, mice, and ants.

Besides the food, the accomplishments in road construction and land clearing were also significant, especially the latter.

Lin Wanwan had now accepted three direct lineage disciples, imparted them with some mana, and taught them how to use the "magic artifact" — the micro-tillage all-in-one machine.

Afterwards, Lin Wanwan instructed them from the edge of the field, watching them work busily.

The few broken machines had their diesel extracted for use in ancient times. During this period, a total of five or six hectares of land were cleared.

Due to the terrain, some land was on slopes, where many tropical fruit trees were planted.

Most of the land had only just been fertilized a few times with a plant protection drone but hadn’t started cultivation yet.

First, she used chemical fertilizers to adjust the fertility of the land; after all, these were newly cleared barren fields with poor soil fertility.

The plant protection drone’s power was depleted, but its mission had been completed.

Lin Wanwan wasn’t in a hurry to get a charger to recharge it; if she were to come back to this island in the future, she’d deal with it then.
