Chapter 147: 135 Secret Base Renovation Plan
Transforming the cabin into a secret base was not an overnight task.
First of all, to move out the unused and abandoned items, Fang You spent most of the afternoon completing this endeavor.
Of course, being a man blessed with "Indefatigable Vitality" and "Aerobics Expert," such physical labor was a piece of cake for him.
During that time, although Luo Xianyu offered to help, Fang You declined her offer politely, citing concerns for her safety.
She was clearly the type who would make more mess than help, and being clumsy, Fang You dared not let her get hurt.
But Ayu refused to remain a useless fish!
After Fang You had taken care of the larger items, Luo Xianyu proactively approached him, offering to help him relax.
"Dad, you've worked so hard! Let me give you a back rub and a shoulder massage!"
[You could see from Luo Xianyu's eyes that she really wanted to show her filial piety, Emotional Energy +10]
"Alright then."
To let Ayu feel involved in helping out, Fang You turned to give her a chance to show what she could do, "Then give it a try."
Thump, thump, pat, pat.
Luo Xianyu sat beside Fang You, happily loosening his muscles.
But Fang You was not satisfied with Clumsy Luo Xianyu's performance.
"You're not putting enough strength into it."
"How about now?"
Luo Xianyu tried squeezing harder.
"Put more effort into it!"
Luo Xianyu's cheeks turned red with the effort!
"Umm... "
After a few squeezes, Luo Xianyu wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Ugh, I'm so tired, poor Ayu worked so hard."
"You hardly put any strength into it..."
"But, your body is so stiff, Ayu can't even squeeze it."
Luo Xianyu sulked while pinching Fang You's flesh, "My mom's body is much softer than yours..."
"How can your mom compare to me, I'm a boy."
The Life Winner System in Fang You's possession has three basic attributes: physique, intelligence, and charm, which have been continuously accumulating and increasing over the years.
Although Fang You still doesn't know his exact physical strength value, there is no doubt that years of talent accumulation have made these three dimensions reach a certain level.
Just as a high level of charm suddenly made Fang You more attractive to the opposite sex, his body also grew increasingly sturdy over the years, different from other kids.
However, this did not manifest in a well-developed muscular physique, Fang You still looked like a skinny child, easily leading others to underestimate his strength.
"Do all boys' muscles... feel like Dad's when you touch them?"
"Why the sudden curiosity?"
"Because... Ayu feels Dad is unique."
Luo Xianyu resumed massaging Fang You's back and shoulders, her eyes filled with admiration, "Ayu just feels that Dad is especially, especially powerful."
Your feeling is correct, Ayu.
I am especially powerful.
But even so...
Fang You pushed away Luo Xianyu's hands, his attitude serious:
"You're too weak at this, it's not comfortable at all. Did you think massaging is so casual?"
"Ah... but Ayu has been trying her best to massage..."
Luo Xianyu said looking hurt, "Doesn't Dad feel happy just by receiving Ayu's good intentions?"
"How is that possible, that would be too unfair to those who seriously learn to massage!"
Fang You decided to properly teach Luo Xianyu a lesson, to let her see the real techniques.
"Ow, ow, it hurts!"
"Pain? Pain is good, pain means it's working, pain means it's working."
Previously, Fang You's Joyous Man lottery draws often included the Acupressure Technique technique, which unlocked the Masseur profession.
However, he had never had the chance to use this profession before.
Now it was time to give it a try!
[You are giving Luo Xianyu a massage, Pleasure Experience +2, Pleasure Experience +2]
But Fang You barely made progress before Ayu, with her delicate body, cried out and escaped after just a few strong presses.
"Dad, it hurts too much! I don't like you anymore."
...
Luo Xianyu rubbed her shoulders, sticking out her tongue at Fang You, "Ayu is going home today!"
Fang You watched as Luo Xianyu walked away from the cabin.
Within seconds, like time rewinding, she walked back in reverse and sat down next to Fang You.
"I thought you were going home."
"Ayu doesn't want Dad to be lonely."
Luo Xianyu sat on a small stool, wobbling, "I'll still wait for Dad to finish his work before going home."
Alright then...
Fang You continued with his garbage clearing work, moving out the bigger pieces of rubbish and, after cleaning the floor, he saw that the system task indicator had a little checkmark.
It seems the system's assessment wasn't too strict, roughly cleaning up to a fairly decent extent was enough.
The next task was to start repairing the holes in the cabin.
The cabin had four gaps, the most noticeable being the broken windows. Fang You wondered whether to replace the windows or just nail wooden boards over them;
The next was the large hole in the cabin wall that obviously needed to be covered with wooden boards.
The ceiling holes could be filled with construction tape, but right now he couldn't reach that high, so he'd need to get a stepladder to fix it next time.
Watching Fang You skillfully handle a hammer, nails, saw, and working the workbench, measuring dimensions and comparing angles, Luo Xianyu found it amazing.
"Wow, Dad, you can even do carpentry! You look so professional."
"Mhm, it's quite simple, just watch some online tutorials and you'll learn."
With skills honed through repeatedly folding paper, Fang You's dexterity had reached a certain level.
