Chapter 263: Chapter 255: Construction of the Duck House Completed

After arranging the flight training schedule for the meat chickens, Han Qiwu walked toward the empty space on the side, planning to check out the newly built duck house.

The newly built duck house looked quite pleasing. Its height was similar to the chicken coop. Since no special timber was used this time, the exterior color was just natural wood, matching the color of the sycamore tree. The roof had light-blocking treatment, and there were many small holes at the bottom for ventilation and cooling.

"System-built buildings are still the best. No need to worry about odor issues." Han Qiwu thought to himself as he pushed the door open and entered the duck house.

[Congratulations, you now own your third animal building.]

[Please name it.]

Prepared in advance, Han Qiwu immediately replied, "Hongyan Tower."

The reason for choosing this name was that most duck-related names sounded odd and awkward to say aloud.

Since the fire ducks at home were also called African Geese, the name naturally leaned toward the "geese" theme.

After all, ducks and geese were practically relatives!

After naming it, Han Qiwu pushed the door of Hongyan Tower open and went inside.

The interior of Hongyan Tower was quite rudimentary. It only had one water trough and six duck nests, which were somewhat similar to the setup inside Sycamore. However, there were some grooves on the ground whose purpose was unclear.

Focusing on the ground, Han Qiwu took out a long-held wild fire duck from his inventory.

The fire duck started quacking loudly as soon as it landed, its voice still raspy.

"Don’t rush, have a drink first." Han Qiwu pulled over a water pipe from outside and filled the trough.

Seeing the water, the fire duck wobbled over and greedily began drinking to its heart’s content.

While it drank, Han Qiwu took out a bag of chicken feed and poured it into the feed trough.

He had seen local villagers raising chickens and ducks together, so the feed should be interchangeable, he figured.

After satisfying its thirst, the fire duck followed Han Qiwu’s guidance to the feed trough and began eating voraciously.

[When ducks consume chicken feed, their growth rate will slow down.]

Han Qiwu thought to himself, "So there is an impact after all. I guess I should drop by the blacksmith shop later and craft a feed box. If the fire duck can’t lay double-yolk eggs, that’d be troublesome."

After feeding the fire duck, he planned to visit the breeding farm to buy ducklings. Since he had enough money, he would buy five ducklings all at once.

Leaving Hongyan Tower, Han Qiwu looked up to observe the training progress of Little Electric and the meat chickens.

Hmm, the results were still very decent.

Even the meat chickens’ flapping posture was better than before.

Flying is definitely something best taught by professionals.

If the meat chickens could hear Han Qiwu’s thoughts, they’d surely cry out in grievance: "Master, have you finally figured it out?! You don’t know how to fly, yet you’re trying to train us!"

Retracting his gaze, Han Qiwu headed to the supply box, grabbing his provisions. After buying the items he needed, he planned to go mining.

The fish pond project was far too stone-intensive; he’d need to stockpile more.

"Grr."

Just then, Little Prince, wrapped in a blanket, cautiously walked out of the house. Looking pitifully at Han Qiwu, he rubbed his flat belly, then absentmindedly scratched here and there.

Han Qiwu chuckled and walked over to rub Little Prince’s head. "Hungry, huh? Let me get you some honey." fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

With the morning’s busy affairs, he had indeed forgotten to fetch honey for Little Prince.

Approaching the beehive, Han Qiwu examined the honey silhouette atop it.

"One big and one small? Two jars?"

He reached toward the lower part of the hive and extracted the honey.

[Rapeseed Honey (Small Jar)]×1

[Rapeseed Honey (Small Jar)]

[Function: Ingredient/Material]

[Stamina +70]

[Health +80]

[Price: 100 Gold]

[Note: Rapeseed honey has mild anti-itch properties.]

"Rapeseed honey? Such high efficiency!" Han Qiwu stared at the hive, surprised. The rapeseed flowers had only bloomed today, yet half a small jar of honey was already collected.

Clearly, the Ancient Bee’s sting effect was quite potent.

He should start preparing to build a hive for the Ancient Bee Queen.

As for this jar of rapeseed honey, he might as well let Little Prince eat it—it’d even help relieve its itching.

During the molting season, things were tough. Not only were movements restricted, but Little Prince also had to endure the maddening itch from growing new fur.

With two jars of honey in hand, Han Qiwu quickly walked over to Little Prince.

Little Prince’s eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the honey. He dropped the blanket and sprinted toward Han Qiwu.

Looking at the bald Little Prince, Han Qiwu couldn’t help but laugh again.

Hearing the laughter, Little Prince showed a resentful expression and reluctantly covered his eyes with one hand.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop laughing. These two jars of honey are yours—make sure to eat them sparingly." Han Qiwu handed the honey to Little Prince and glanced at its molting progress.

Thanks to Little Prince’s well-fed physique, its molting speed was pretty quick. In another two or three days, the process should be mostly done.

Little Prince took the honey, mimicked Little Shui by nuzzling Han Qiwu’s arm, and then poured the honey onto his hand, happily devouring it mouthful by mouthful.

"Since you’re molting these few days, you don’t need to go out chopping wood." Han Qiwu patted Little Prince.

"Yay!"

Little Prince nodded eagerly. He wouldn’t have to do any work now!

Seeing Little Prince’s excitement, Han Qiwu smiled and said, "Little Prince, you’re still too young."

Little Prince: "??? I’m still just a kid!"

Seeing Little Prince’s confused look, Han Qiwu patiently explained, "Simply put, you’re celebrating too early. Since you’re not going out, let’s chop down the osmanthus trees at home. By the way, I upgraded the axe last night—it can chop more trees daily now. Keep up the good work!"

Little Prince immediately stopped eating his honey.

He understood.

He truly was still too naive.

Of course, eating two jars of honey at once was bound to come with a price!

From now on, he’d need to be cautious whenever the master gave him something!

Thinking this, Little Prince finished the rapeseed honey.

But...

The honey tasted so good!!!

Just as he finished eating, he immediately felt full, his itching subsided, and his whole body felt warm and fuzzy—he was incredibly comfortable.

Seeing that Little Prince had accepted his new chore, Han Qiwu added, "By the way, although more trees need chopping, the upgraded axe is sharper now, so overall, the workload will be a little less."

Thinking he’d have to work much more, Little Prince brightened upon hearing this good news and quickly nodded, feeling cheerful again.

Master is so thoughtful!

Han Qiwu placed the osmanthus axe next to Little Prince. As he grabbed supplies from the box, he couldn’t help but marvel at how easy Little Prince was to please.

It’s a good thing the child had met someone as generous, understanding, and patient as him.

Otherwise, poor Little Prince would surely be worked to exhaustion.
