Chapter 205 The Expansion

Uh

Riley stared at the meager result, her lip switching

“That is pathetic. If I made Ash live in that, he’d probably run away from home out of spite.”

“Neeko!” Riley called out

Neekc, who had been playing ball with Ash inside, came sprinting out immediately.

“What’s up, Riley?”

“I’ve got a job for you.”

Riley pointed at the sad little shed. “I want to turn this into a room for Ash and the treant. What kind of environment do you think they’d like?”

“Oh! For Ash?”

Neeko’s eyes lit up as she circled the shed, her cat ears twitching.

“Ash likes high places! And soft things!”

Neeko began gesturing wildly. “It needs a big window so he can see the sky! Then the floor should be covered in hay-no, wool! Like a giant nest!”

“As for the wooden guy…” Neeko scratched her head. “He likes planting himself in dirt? Maybe leave him a flower bed?”

“Good point.”

Riley nodded.

Neeko’s description was abstract, but she’d nailed the core needs.

“Alright, let’s get to work then!”

“System, activate Free Build Mode!”

Riley rolled up her sleeves and grabbed her tools.

“Neeko, go grab stones and planks. We’re sealing this shed and connecting it to the house!”

“On it!”

With the system’s assistance, Riley began the expansion project.

She relaid the perimeter with stone for insulation, smashed the solid wall to install a floor-to-ceiling window, and cut a doorway

into the house.

Next, she cut a doorway into the wall separating the shed from the main house.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

As Riley was swinging her hammer at the wall, a wooden hand pressed against her shoulder.

Riley looked back to see the Grove Gardener standing there.

It didn’t speak, just pulled out its tape measure and hammer and pointed at the planks, signaling for Riley to hand them over

“Fine. The professional can’t stand to watch me struggle.”

Riley was happy to let him take over and acted as his assistant instead.

With the treant, the project shifted from “brute-force construction” to “artistic creation.”

Every “ough joint was trimmed to a perfect fit, and the doorway was decorated to form a beautiful arched portal.

Half an hour later.

A unique side-wing was complete.

It was now a sunroom bursting with a natural vibe. The roof was a semi-open glass ceiling for stargazing.

One half was covered in thick wool rugs and traded wool carpets, with various high perches for Ash; this was Ash’s room.

The other half kept the dirt floor with a framed stone flower bed-the treant’s “bed.”

Aside from that, Riley also used wool and planks to build an incubator in the corner for the Red-Blue Lord’s Egg-

She’d thought about keeping it in the altar cabin like before, but decided the presence of people here might help it hatch faster.

A Lord-tier egg was something she was genuinely looking forward to.

“Perfect.”

Riley dusted off her hands, admiring the masterpiece.

“But one room isn’t enough.”

Riley turned her gaze to the right side of the main house.

The system had unlocked the “Second Subsidiary Building” permit back at Level 3.

She hadn’t built it before because there was no need.

But now, with thousands of units of wood and stone, she might as well.

“System, in the area on the right, construct Standard Stone-Wood Cottage (Subsidiary)!”

“Consume Lumber x50, Stone x20. Confirm?”

“Confirm!”
