The Low-Key Life of a Necromancer

Li's words of not backing down made everyone excited, and his remarks on economic development were confusing at first, but even more confusing upon closer inspection.

Regardless of whether Mrs. Li understood it or not, she would support her son, and Xiaoli would not oppose Li's opinion.

After successfully reaching a consensus, the Li family began to work on building a restaurant, but when it came to construction, Li discovered a host of problems.

[No, don’t you build houses without laying foundations here? ]

"Foundation? What is foundation?"

The Li family is well-known locally, and the vacant land next to the house was originally a residential plot reserved for future generations to use.

If we enclose an area here to build a restaurant, no one will care.

[It means digging a little deeper into the ground first to ensure the stability of the foundation. ]

"Ah? Building a house shouldn't be that difficult."

As Earth Li stared in astonishment, Mother Li called in a magician to help her, who used a spell to turn mud into stone, making the ground clean and smooth.

Next, you just need to pile up the foundation with square stones, and then build the walls and roof.

[Frog Fun! Is it so convenient to use magic to build infrastructure? ]

The technique of turning mud into stone really opened the eyes of Earth Li. As for the subsequent construction process, Earth Li kept it deep in his mind and said nothing.

However, when Earth Li saw a bunch of strong men moving stones and laying stones together, Earth Li couldn't help but jump out and beep.

[Well, if we already have the skill of turning mud into stone, why do we still need to build a wall bit by bit? ]

"Ha, turning mud into stone is only useful for the ground. If you want the wall to be flat and stable, you have to build it bit by bit."

The mud is very slippery and easier to control on the ground, but it is too far-fetched to think of using magic to build a wall.

But such a statement confused Earth Li instead.

[Wouldn't it be possible to first support the wall with wooden boards, then pour gravel and mud into it, and finally use the technique of turning mud into stone? ]

Earth Li took out the modern technology of using formwork and then pouring concrete. After hearing the information in his mind, Li was stunned on the spot.

I have lived in this world for twenty years and have seen countless houses, but it seems that no one has ever built a house using the method that Li from Earth said.

In the local people’s understanding, the walls of the house should be stacked up little by little with stones. This is how our ancestors did it, and this method is definitely the best...

"You said to prop it up with wooden boards first... Hey, everyone, stop for a moment, I have an idea!"

At Li's call, Xiaoli and the helpers all looked over with confused expressions.

Li picked up a few pieces of wood and put them together into a loose box. He then poured some soil and gravel into the box and cast earth magic on the box.

Stimulated by magic, the mud surged, agitated, and spit out bubbles, and finally slowly solidified into a square brick.

In the magical world, there is no need to make fire to make bricks. Just use some earth magic to get it done.

Xiaoli came over, stepped on the newly solidified bricks, and jumped hard on them twice.

"Master, did you get a stone? We have so many stones, you are wasting your magic power."

Faced with Xiaoli's disgust, the two Lis were speechless. This great discovery was right in front of everyone, but no one realized the key to the problem.

"I'm not making bricks, I'm just thinking of a quick way to build a wall! Come on, help me build the wall with wooden boards first."

With Li's operation as an example, everyone quickly figured out what to do.

Everyone was a little confused at first, but as the work progressed, everyone gradually realized what was going on.

Xiaoli and several helpers from the neighboring house poured the first bucket of gravel and mud into the wooden box. Because too much earth and rocks would damage the wooden board, Li quickly used magic.

A half-meter-high low wall stood neatly on the paved ground. Unlike the disordered stone blocks, the wall solidified directly by magic was flat and smooth, and could reflect vague human figures.

"It seems that this method can only go this high. It's OK for building a sheepfold, but it's not suitable for building a restaurant."

"Are you stupid? Why don't you just put some planks on top of it? This will save a lot of effort than lifting the stones one by one!"

Having discovered the benefits of the new method, those who participated in the labor showed unprecedented enthusiasm.

The humans in this world generally have strong physical fitness, and there are even unreasonable existences such as bloodline warriors.

With their cooperation, the wall was quickly erected.

The first wall took three hours, and the subsequent walls took a total of one and a half hours to complete.

When Aunt Li was carrying a basket to deliver food to everyone, she saw a group of people gathered around a poured wall, discussing how to build a roof.

"Son, what did you eat? You built the wall so fast!"

When the big house was built, Li's mother and father worked together. At that time, Li was still a little kid who only knew how to make trouble.

Now it was the son's turn to build the house, but his mother was completely overwhelmed by his efforts.

Mother Li even thought that some ancient book recorded the magic of building a house directly.

"Mom, let me tell you, this is the method another soul taught me. They build houses this way over there, and it's super fast! Mom, I think using this method, we can build a wall around the town in a few days!"

When Li mentioned that he wanted to use this method to build the city wall, not only Li's mother and his friends were stunned, but even Earth Li hiding in his head was shocked by this amazing idea.

Originally, Earth Li didn't think much of the native Li, thinking that he was just lucky to meet a kind soul like himself.

Even if Earth Li agrees to coexist with this body, he will subconsciously feel that Earth's experience and skills are advanced, and that local cognition is closed and backward.

But Li used the small matter of building a restaurant to associate it with the big matter of building a city wall.

【You are a genius! 】

Li touched his nose embarrassedly, suddenly feeling the praise from his other self.

Li was just talking nonsense because he was happy. Building a city wall is such a big thing that cannot be decided by an honorary knight.

With the help of everyone's ignited enthusiasm, Earth Li popularized architectural concepts such as prefabricated panels to his own self in this world.

When the restaurant was successfully topped out before dark, everyone looked at the masterpiece they had built with their own hands, and a sense of confidence surged in everyone's heart.

Building a house is also a big deal in this world, but with the addition of new concepts, everything seems easy.

Mother Li looked at the building, whose doors and windows had not yet been sealed, with satisfaction. It had a spacious space, a square layout, and smooth and tidy floors and walls.

This house, seemingly built in a hurry, seems to be a little better than the big house we have been living in.

“It’s a bit of a shame to turn it into a restaurant. Such a nice house should be used as a residence for people…”

"Mom, this is just our first attempt. Tomorrow, we will go to the refugee camp and build a few more. It's not difficult."

Mother Li turned her head and looked at her son. Her son, who used to only whistle at pretty girls, seemed to have grown up suddenly.

Her son's confident eyes and determined profile made Mother Li feel as if she was getting old.
