Wow, i got a lot of credits to splurge and there seems to be things that i desperately need to buy like that wooden house and storage blueprint. Though i could do without the storage shed but i do need the house, i Don't feel safe sleeping in the open i could get nasty insects up my body and stuff.
Well Let's not waste time and buy some much needed items.

[x1 Long Bow Bought] -250©
[x2 Basic Stamina Potion Bought] -400©
Current Credits- 8,600©
Okay for now that should do i also went ahead and bought the stamina potion incase i need to run from something or if i am Just very tired it could be usefull in various Situations.
All the items seems to appear in my inventory. I took the blueprint out, it had a smooth texture and looked like a normal blueprint except it looked quite shit, oh well beggars can't be choosers.
Let's check the requirements.
Rudimentary Wooden House Requirements:
- 100 Wooden Logs
- 60 Stone
- 25 Wooden Planks
- 4 Wooden Pillars
Well that's a lot of requirements but i have hope with the help of my system and minions i will be able to complete it.
Speaking of my Minions Let's how it progressed the task i gave.
Lets check up on how much resources they've gathered.
Inventory Tab
-[20 Wood] [35 Leaves] [x1 Mutated Apple]
Well that's certainly something. Let's see hmm the woodcutter seems to have finished cutting down a tree and took around 2-4 Minutes i think not bad for a single woodcutter.
"Alright keep cutting down more trees" I commanded the Minion. Then i looked towards my Miner Minion It's time to Put it to work though i Don't see any stone deposits nearby maybe it can find one by itself.
"Okay, you Miner... yeah you! Get to mining" At my command the miner looked around seemingly in contemplation than it started walking towards a random direction. I guess it found something and went towards mining it. I Don't know how It's scanning functions and what not works.
Let's keep checking how much resources i am getting after all this is vital to my survival who knows what kind of beasts are inside this forest alongside me.
Inventory Tab
-[40 Wood] [65 Leaves] [x2 Mutated Apple's]
Hmm Let's see what this mutated apple looks like, i reached out towards my inventory and instantly i felt a weight in my hand.
It looked like a apple but a bit larger and it was light crimson colored. I cut inside of it only to find out it was basically the same as a regular apple just a bit larger.
I have been here for what felt several hours so i am pretty famished and an apple would fill my stomach. I washed the apple from the pond water and took a bite.
It was succulent and sweet but not overly sweet it had the right amount of tanginess and juices overall It's something I'd always pick over any other kind of apple. Maybe because i hadn't eaten anything or maybe because of the chaotic Situation it felt very good to finally put something in my mouth.
I ate the other apple as well only to regret it maybe i should have saved it just incase it was rare.
But maybe it wasn't very rare well Let's see what my Woodcutter is doing.
Oh, it seems to be resting near a tree stump. Huh..how curious.
[Minion Menu
Tier-1
Hp- 100
Energy- low
Exp- 5/10
Status- Recovering]
Ooh so they all have individual panels for the minions as well nice. I see so they cant work for like infinitely they can wear down and need to recover and from what it seems they can also be upgraded i guess when they get full exp then they evolve i suppose.
Let's check the warrior Minions.
[Minion Menu
Tier-1
Hp- 500
Energy- Full
Exp- 0/50
Status- Perfect]
So they can also evolve and that high hp must be because of their profession well what i know is that 500 is a lot better than 100 damn i am liking those numbers, their requirements for level up also seems higher too.
Now then, the part i am most excited about, its Archery Time. I wonder how it will give me arrows i only saw the option to buy a Bow so maybe the arrows are something added with that cost.
Taking the bow out of the inventory solved the dillema and it turns out i did receive a leather bound quiver. It has exactly 22 Arrows well that's good enough i guess maybe in the future I'll be able to produce my own Arrows and my own Bows.
For now though i could use this to hunt some game after all i need to eat proper protein and there's no gurantee of getting more food from trees and my worker is resting so, this is realistically the only proper way to procure food.
I have the perfect helpers to help my 3 Warrior Minions, oh this is gonna be good but first let me practice my archery. I am no genius but i am sure i should be able to learn a thing or two about hitting targets after some practice shots.
I set up a crude targeting setup using a few wooden Logs from my Inventory i had a lot of them after all.
"Okay now let's do this" Pumping myself up i nocked the Bow Pulling the strings midway i shot my first arrow and it spectacularly missed the log entirely.
"Baby steps Deus, Baby steps i am gonna get better with time"
The second shot was a bit closer but after trying a different position and changing my footing i was able to hit my third shot. It was pretty bad barely scraped the log and hit the corner it looked quite pitifull any Normal archer would most likely laugh at me.
Like this i practiced for like about an hour before my arms got a bit sore from pulling the strings.
"I think i fired around 80 Shots or so and only around 20 of them hit the log properly and only 7 of them hit center. Ah shit that's terrible and thats only from like 30 Meters away. The standard i should go for should be around 40 i think considering that 70 meters is like perfection but 40 should be enough for this forest Where i can snipe from closer distances"
While i was lost in my inner musing i another notification alerting me.
"Well Let's check what's this about"
