CHAPTER 624: CHAPTER 447: TITANIUM ALLOY ACQUIRED IN BULK, THE UPCOMING TRANSFORMATION OF BAI_2

Once the door of the underground second layer is closed, the noise won’t be too loud, and it won’t disturb Bai, who has already fallen asleep in the bedroom on the first layer.

Plugging in the power and putting on his work clothes, Lin Yue began to work.

First, he turned the wood into long planks, each about one meter high, 12 centimeters wide, and roughly five centimeters thick.

Then, he tightly pressed them together, using three wide and thinner planks, placed horizontally, and finally fixed them with nails. After creating one wooden raft, Lin Yue quickly made three more of the same size.

Finally, he positioned the four wooden rafts vertically, nailed them together to form the four sides of a rectangular shape.

Once he finished these, Lin Yue used a smaller wooden raft to seal the bottom of this somewhat crooked yet shaped object.

Just then, the system finally provided feedback.

[You have obtained the wooden bathtub design blueprint!]

Lin Yue wiped the sweat off his forehead and managed to make it after all.

Using the High-Precision Research Workstation to disassemble what he had made into raw materials, Lin Yue chose the blueprint to make a new wooden bathtub!

This bathtub turned out to be much better than the one he made before. Although it remained square, there were hardly any gaps between the planks, and it even looked much more aesthetic.

Lin Yue looked it over from front to back; other than being simple, it seemed to have no drawbacks.

However, simplicity can be considered a merit.

"Although I remember bathtubs are usually round, I don’t have that skill, and the system didn’t make it any differently, so square is fine."

Lin Yue didn’t pursue perfection in this aspect, considering it’s a temporary solution, and when better options become available, or when he finds some luxurious bathtub blueprint in the future, he would switch.

Next, Lin Yue stored the large soaking tub into the Storage Space and went back to the first-floor bathroom to set it up.

He placed the shower head into the bath and started filling it with the hottest water.

But this hot water is probably far from enough, and it’s an extremely clumsy method.

His bathtub was one meter in length and width, and one and a half meters high. Even if the water isn’t fully filled, it takes nearly one cubic meter of water.

So much water that a single water heater likely can’t handle it too well.

Heading to the kitchen, Lin Yue cleaned five large pots, filled them with water, and placed them on five stoves.

"The water needs time to heat too, so while waiting, let’s do something else."

Since he’s in the kitchen, he might as well make some food. Although the barbecue in the evening was nice, Lin Yue was indeed getting tired of barbecue.

Taking out two eggs from the refrigerator, Lin Yue also got a large tomato out.

Although eating this late is a bit unhealthy, the stomach is indeed empty. Not replenishing some energy indeed doesn’t feel right.

Closing the kitchen door tightly, Lin Yue carefully turned on the induction cooker and placed the pan on it.

Pour cool oil into the hot pan, and add the beaten eggs...

"Gawu?"

Just as Lin Yue was about to pour the eggs, the kitchen door suddenly opened, and Bai poked its head in.

It looked at Lin Yue, then at the eggs beaten in the bowl, eyes shining, and Lin Yue even heard the clear sound of swallowing.

Good gracious, is this little one awake?

And woke up because it was hungry?

"Gawu!" Bai put its hands on its hips and crossed its arms.

"Huh, now even getting angry and throwing a tantrum?" Lin Yue felt this creature was becoming more and more human-like, learning things really fast.

This gesture seemed like what Fei Yue did when they were cleaning the battlefield, arguing over something with You Siyuan and Feng Peng. Bai must have seen and learned perfectly.

Lin Yue thought, if Bai were sent to Fei Yue’s shelter for a few days, it might come out like a skin-covered Bai, being intelligent yet a bit greedy and mischievous.

"Alright, alright, we’ll eat together. Didn’t you just finish two rib plates? How come your appetite is so good?"

Lin Yue patted his little partner’s large arm, suddenly feeling something was amiss.

"Huh? This is..."

Lin Yue noticed that the originally cold and smooth scales of Bai now had some dry and abrasive white fragments!

"Shedding skin?" Lin Yue raised an eyebrow, "Bai, are you going to shed your skin again?"

"Gawu?" Bai looked at the white flakes on its own arm, looking quite surprised.

What’s going on?

It’s not been long since the last shedding, right?

"Bai, have you been eating too much recently, causing you to start shedding skin? Or is it..."

Lin Yue considered another possibility.

Is it because of the cold weather?

"Gawu?" Bai was still unable to understand what had happened to its body, just like its last shedding, completely unanticipated.

"I see..." Lin Yue could tell Bai also didn’t understand what was happening, which is why it’s like this.

He went back to the fridge, took out another five eggs, two tomatoes, and returned to the stove.

Turning around, he saw the water was almost ready.

"Wait a moment, Bai, I’ll wrap this up first."

Taking the pots of hot water into the Storage Space, Lin Yue then went to the bathroom to turn off the water heater.

After such a long time, just enough water accumulated to barely reach ankle depth.

Returning to the kitchen, Lin Yue whipped and cut, and soon prepared a meal of scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Of course, just like last time, he plated some rice and served Bai directly a large dish.

Warm rice with sauce in hand, Lin Yue and Bai, one sitting on a small stool, the other directly on the floor; one using a regular spoon, the other holding a cooking shovel.

Savoring the rice drenched in sauce, eating the eggs which were sweet and sour with a touch of saltiness, happiness gradually rose within them.

After the hearty meal, Bai seemed quite sleepy.

Lin Yue took it directly to the bedroom, where Bai lay down on the sheepskin mat, eyes closed, soon accompanied by a soft and rhythmic breathing sound.

"Hope the little one will be alright." Lin Yue watched the gradually thickening white membrane-like shedding on the little one’s body and remembered the last time Bai shed its skin.

At that time, in the Secret Realm, Bai spent the entire night shedding its skin completely.

Before shedding, Bai would be very weak, lacking energy, and mostly in a "coma" state.

At such times, without a safe place for it to shed skin, Bai would fall into an extreme predicament.

Similar to last time, he indeed tried his utmost, fighting hard for an entire night before Bai completed its shedding.

After shedding, Bai would have an increase in strength to a level stronger than before!

"What will the little one become tomorrow?"

He waved his hand against the wall, to find the outside temperature had dropped to only 11 degrees.

"Only about ten more days until the disaster..."

The nighttime temperature continued to decline.

Estimate disaster’s morning time, this temperature would likely be quite uncomfortable.

Lin Yue couldn’t help but shiver, he rubbed his hands, heading to the bathroom.

Pouring the pots of hot water inside one by one, quickly filling the room with white steam, Lin Yue pulled the water hose from the heater to pour in cold water to adjust the temperature.

If you’re going to have a comfortable soak, insufficient water is not an option.

After adjusting twice, Lin Yue finally mixed the cold and hot water to a temperature that felt comfortable to him.

"Honestly, using so much water is extravagant, just for me." Lin Yue felt that his bathtub was indeed larger than he had imagined.

If there were a regular-sized one, it wouldn’t be a problem.

Seeing the water depth almost 80 centimeters, Lin Yue thought a bit, adjusting its total depth to around 60 centimeters.

After all, sitting in the tub is the most comfortable.

Lin Yue tested the water temperature again and confirmed it was just right, then began removing all his clothes, legs stepping into the one-meter wide gap.

"This feeling..."

Lin Yue slowly sat into the bathtub, resting his back against the tub wall, leaving only his head exposed outside.

And as the hot water soaked him, he couldn’t help but let out a satisfying low growl!
