She's even leaking?
Chuck was stunned at the sight.
It stained her clothes… This meant she probably had just expressed it herself.
Looking at the clay bowl in front of him, Chuck slowly raised his hand and took it, under Gu Yitong's shy gaze.
He felt a slight warmth in his hand. The rich, milky aroma immediately rushed into his nostrils, instantly making Chuck's mouth water.
A strange urge inexplicably rose in his heart.
He hesitated no more, raised the clay bowl, and drank it all in one gulp.
Gulp, gulp.
The warm milk slid down his throat and into Chuck's empty morning stomach, providing him with the initial energy to start his new day.
Chuck put down the bowl and let out a satisfied burp.
He didn't forget the source of his drink.
He raised both hands, one grabbing each of the two heavy mounds in front of him, and smiled under Gu Yitong's increasingly shy expression.
"It tastes good, but next time, I want to drink it directly."
Directly drink it?
With those three simple words, Gu Yitong immediately understood Chuck's meaning.
Her cheeks instantly flushed completely red. The mature woman, in her early thirties, suddenly seemed like a shy young girl. She gently nodded, letting out a response as faint as a mosquito's buzz.
"M-hm…"
A dairy cow needed time to produce milk.
Therefore, Chuck still proceeded with the work he had planned earlier.
Digging the gravel was not as difficult as Chuck had imagined.
Since the riverbed had changed course years ago, the gravel beneath the rocky beach was very dry. A handful could be scooped up effortlessly, making it easy to collect a considerable amount. He could even look for scorpions to make potions along the way, killing two birds with one stone.
Chuck was still getting used to using the storage space for the first time, but he quickly adapted to the Workbench panel, which resembled an RPG game's inventory. All items stored within were displayed as small squares multiplied by a quantity, for example—
Gravel × 10
According to the Workbench standard, five kilograms of gravel counted as one portion. Ten portions were exactly 50 kilograms, perfectly matching the space capacity of Gu Yitong's Generosity of the Great Exclusive Perk.
Chuck lay on the riverbed, collecting handfuls of gravel and storing them. Once full, he would return to pour the gravel into the water pot, add the pre-measured lime and seawater, and then select a thicker wooden stick for stirring.
Finally, he placed it all into the Workbench, as usual.
[Detecting items placed in the Workbench: Gravel × 10, Lime × 20, Seawater, Large Capacity Container, Stirring Tool]
[Target item for synthesis: Lime Mortar × 1!]
[Tip: The water pot is large; the process will simultaneously occupy two work slots.]
[Estimated Synthesis Time: 1 hour. Start synthesis?]
One hour of synthesis time was just enough for Chuck to make one round trip to the sea for seawater and another to the rocky beach for gravel.
However, after the first portion of lime mortar was synthesized, an unexpected situation occurred.
[Lime Mortar × 1, Synthesis Complete!]
[Tip: The stirred lime mortar will solidify quickly. To use it for construction or upgrading blueprints, please add it to the blueprint for air-drying and solidification as soon as possible. Each portion of lime mortar requires 12 hours for natural air-drying. Please do not step on or touch it during this time, or the architectural structure will be damaged.]
Well, well, it really is similar to pouring concrete!
Chuck was generally accustomed to the Workbench cheat's highly realistic approach. After all, if it were too magical, it would likely frighten the three women around him.
So, after preparing the lime mortar in the water pot, Chuck called for the bombshell and the Gu mother and daughter, explaining his plan to pour the foundation for the house. The three women had different reactions.
Julia nodded readily. She always obeyed Chuck's commands unconditionally and trusted him blindly.
Gu Mòmo also answered obediently, her small face filled with adoration and admiration. In the little one's heart now, Chuck was the most amazing Daddy in the world.
Gu Yitong's expression, however, was completely stunned.
Among the three women, only she truly understood how incredible Chuck's current task was.
She had been an executive at a property developer. Naturally, she was very knowledgeable about some basic aspects of construction.
On a deserted island, it wasn't enough to build a sturdy wooden house with his bare hands and homemade tools…
He was actually going to pour a foundation for this wooden house?!
Gu Yitong felt her breathing quicken. The heart shapes in her eyes were barely suppressed.
For so many years, the strong woman in her early thirties had never felt impressed or even admired any man for their capabilities. Even those in high positions relied on connections or background. In short, they were men she politely dealt with but secretly despised.
And today, on this deserted island, she finally found the man worthy of her willing submission, the man to be his woman and his bitch.
As Gu Yitong thought this, her mature, beautiful eyes turned increasingly infatuated and intoxicated toward Chuck. Her heart beat faster and faster, and her groin was overflowing.
Even her chest felt gradually engorged for some reason…
The synthesis of one portion of mortar required an hour. During this time, Chuck needed to make one round trip to the sea and one to the rocky beach, but thanks to the storage space, the transport was nearly effortless.
Chuck had expected to complete the entire day's work easily and pleasantly, but as it turned out…
Being on this deserted island, cruel nature wouldn't let his life continue so smoothly.
When the time reached ten in the morning, and the sun was directly overhead, Chuck made his third trip back from the sea, passing through the jungle to the outside of the wooden house.
He felt inexplicably suffocated.
Looking down, he belatedly realized his chest was soaked with sweat.
The insect buzzing in the surrounding jungle was noticeably louder than usual.
Chuck raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead, looking at the clear sky, and his brow gradually furrowed.
The temperature today was unusually hot.
It wasn't just him. Gu Yitong, working indoors, was also dripping with sweat, and Gu Mòmo, fanning the kiln fire, had a flushed face and somewhat hazy eyes from the heat.
Chuck quickly carried Gu Mòmo into the wooden house, made her drink some water, and rest well. He also called Julia back from gathering firewood outside.
"Holy crap… why is it so hot today? My nipples feel like they're melting!"
Julia, her slender neck glistening with sweat, held a bundle of branches. Her blonde hair was clumped together by sweat. She fanned herself by pulling at the collar of her T-shirt while pouting and complaining.
Chuck couldn't help but chuckle. He instructed her and the Gu mother and daughter to rest well under the eaves and completely extinguish the fire inside the room.
Then, he addressed the three women sitting on the bed.
"It's too hot. You stay inside today to avoid the sun. Take turns watching the kiln for me. Don't start a fire for lunch either; eat something simple. There's no air conditioning on this deserted island; you must not suffer from heatstroke."
"What about you, Darling?"
Julia wiped the sweat from her forehead with her slender, pale hand, looking at him with worry.
Based on her understanding of Chuck, he certainly wouldn't just rest so easily.
Sure enough, Chuck only smiled.
"I'm fine."
He then turned and left the wooden house, walking all the way to the beach.
His brows were tightly locked.
Over the past few days, he had thought his biggest challenge would only be the tropical island's storms. But today, reality gave him another cruel lesson, reminding him that he had forgotten another equally powerful and even more tricky opponent.
The heat.
The heat of a tropical oceanic climate wasn't just high temperatures; it was accompanied by extremely high humidity, which made breathing difficult, significantly increased the daily water requirement, and, in severe cases, could lead to heatstroke and endanger life.
To combat the storm, Chuck could desperately build a solid shelter, but against the heat, the only countermeasure he could think of was…
Five minutes later, Chuck returned to his original starting point—the South Beach.
He filled the storage space with the seawater needed for the next batch of mortar at the beach, but this time, Chuck was not in a hurry to return. Instead, he headed east.
He arrived once again at his and Julia's first shelter: the coastal cave.
Stepping inside the cave, as expected, Chuck immediately felt the surrounding temperature drop significantly, and he felt a wave of comfort.
He looked around the cave and nodded thoughtfully.
The thick rock of the cliff was a natural insulator, much cooler than inside the wooden house. It was an excellent place to escape the heat when the weather was hot.
But soon, Chuck's expression grew serious again.
Although this natural cave on the East Beach could indeed serve as a cool retreat, it was too narrow and somewhat far from the homestead on the stone slope platform.
Using it as a long-term summer retreat would impose too many restrictions and might severely impact their daily schedule.
Chuck rubbed his chin, pondering with a frown.
If so, was it possible… to manually excavate a more spacious cave beneath the high cliff face on the back of the stone slope platform?
A larger cave space would naturally provide better insulation and be cooler. It would also be closer and more convenient, and could even be used as a natural cold storage room in everyday life.
A perfect summer retreat with two uses in one place?!
Thinking this, Chuck didn't feel excited. Instead, he sighed.
Plans are always idealized, but when it came to implementation…
How easy was it to manually excavate a large enough artificial cave in a hard cliff face without modern power tools?
But all in all, whether for the quartzite needed later to build the fireplace or for excavating an artificial cave to escape the heat, regardless of the future difficulties.
The prerequisite for all of this was creating a handy tool capable of breaking rock.
And undoubtedly, flint picked up on the rocky beach was absolutely incapable of doing the job while ensuring the tool's durability.
It was probably time to consider smelting metal.
Leaving the cave, Chuck returned the way he came.
He was gradually forming a detailed plan for his next goal.
The temperature peaked in the afternoon, but fortunately, it was cool enough under the wooden house. The three women used palm leaves as fans, hiding under the eaves, and leisurely passed the hot day.
As for Chuck, he only took a short break during the hottest time in the afternoon and continued to work.
It wasn't until the evening heat subsided that the final portion of mortar was synthesized. The entire floor of the expanded wooden bungalow was covered with the yet-to-solidify mortar, raised about five centimeters higher than the outside ground. However, the blueprint progress bar had not reached 100%. It seemed he still needed to wait for it to naturally air-dry before the upgrade was officially complete.
After dinner, before it got completely dark, Chuck took the three women to the East Beach to wash away the day's heat in the cool seawater.
The evening glow covered the sparkling sea. On the sandy shore, a girl's head rose and fell with the waves beneath her.
"Mmm… Pwah~"
Gu Mòmo, her face flushed, paused her tentative movements. She gently touched the shaft with her tender tongue, slowly licking it. Then, she raised her watery eyes to Chuck, asking in a muffled, sweet voice.
"…Is it nice?"
"Not there, little sister. You need to lick the cap on top more. That's the most comfortable spot."
Julia, who was kneeling behind Chuck, soap in hand, cleaning his back, turned slightly and leaned her head over. Seeing Gu Mòmo's action, she smiled and imparted her "experience."
"M-hm, I'll try that…"
It was no surprise for a prospective university student from a prestigious school. Gu Mòmo's learning ability was truly astonishing. Just one casual remark from Julia allowed her to grasp the essence. Her warm, small mouth and extremely smooth, fragrant tongue suddenly enveloped it, making Chuck feel a wave of intense pleasure that made his scalp tingle. He subconsciously leaned back, lying in Julia's soft, warm embrace.
"Hehe, Darling is so cooperative? Just in time, I need to wash the front now~"
Julia curved her rosy lips, feeling a flutter in her heart at the sight of her beloved man looking so comfortable. One small hand gently rubbed Chuck's earlobe, while the other, covered in soap, slowly stroked Chuck's chest, complementing Gu Mòmo's actions.
Not far away, Gu Yitong, also completely naked, her pair of pale massive mounds hanging low, knelt by a beach reef, washing clothes. She frequently turned her head, her beautiful eyes irresistibly drawn to them.
Seeing her most beloved daughter kneeling between Chuck's legs, her small head bobbing up and down, sucking and spitting, Gu Yitong's heartbeat accelerated rapidly. Her already engorged chest became even more painfully swollen and unbearable.
She bit her lower lip, unable to endure it any longer. She rushed to pick up the clay pot she had brought earlier. She used the small amount of fresh water within to rinse the clothes one last time, packed everything up, and walked hastily across the fine sand with her anxious, mature feet and plump legs.
She swayed her entire fleshy body and came to kneel beside Chuck.
Chuck, who was enjoying himself with half-closed eyes, looked sideways when he saw her approach.
"What's wrong?"
The beautiful, mature mother's eyes had already turned into two peach hearts. To Chuck's surprise, she proactively cupped one of her massive mounds, which was noticeably more swollen than before, the shy buds naturally visible, even showing faint blue veins, and pleaded in a slightly hoarse voice.
"Please, I'm feeling so engorged right now…"
