In the meanwhile, Alex solely had three easy objectives.
To outlive, to enhance his residing situation and to eat good meals.
Now, his survival was ensured as a result of safety of the tribe.
Additionally, by slowly growing his bodily energy, he might get robust sufficient to outlive on his personal.
And the standard of meals could be improved by counting on the interdimensional farm. Because of the intense train that he was doing, consuming nutritious meals was essential to him. Simply consuming meat was not optimum.
However, to enhance his residing situation, he has to take motion on his personal. He can not depend on others to do it.
So, with none delay, Alex obtained permission from each the chief and Mani to construct his personal home.
The village was small contemplating the inhabitants of greater than two thousand folks. Everybody lived contained in the perimeter partitions. So, Alex needed to take further time to obtain land to construct the brand new home.
Fortunately, The land subsequent to Mani’s home was vacant. He rapidly received permission to make use of that land.
The plot was a couple of hundred sq. meters in space. It was giant in comparison with the henhouse that Alex referred to as house in his earlier life. Hire within the metropolis was astronomical. So, he needed to stay like that.
However now, He has greater than sufficient space to make a small home for himself. So, he fastidiously deliberate its define. Nonetheless, it was inconceivable to make all the things he wished for.
When he started making his design, he realised that almost all of it might be inconceivable to construct.
Even a rest room can be inconceivable. Happily, he made one close to a cliff far-off from the village and the folks. He has to make use of that till he can discover a alternative.
After finishing the design, it was time to make it a actuality. And he wanted manpower for that.

“Unda, are you able to assist me with one thing?” Alex requested the little child.
“What do you want, huge brother Meru.”
“Are you able to carry me to a spot the place there are a number of stones?”
“It is easy. Observe me.” Abruptly, As if he realised one thing, he turned in the direction of Alex. His little eyes shone mischievously.
“Tonight, I need extra meat.” He declared solemnly.
The management over meals within the winter season was strict. Resulting from that, the tribe was utilizing a rationing technique to allocate meals to every household. And many of the meat was preserved for future use. So, the little glutton was having a tough time. It was why he requested for meat from Alex. And Alex was pleased to commerce data for some meals.
“Okay.” He stated whereas nodding with a smile.
“Hello hello hello…In the direction of the north, simply outdoors the village, there’s a mountain path. Strolling round there, you could find all of the stones you want.” Unda giggled whereas describing the place to search out the stones.
Stones have been important for Alex’s plan to make his new home. However earlier than that, that they had much more essential use. He was going to make use of it to make a makeshift oven.
From his expertise, Alex realized that meals was essential to the folks of the tribe. And he technically had a vast supply simply ready for use. And the one factor he lacked was a workforce.
So, If he might commerce meals for that. He couldn’t simply make homes, he might even construct cities.
And making an oven was his first step in village domination.
He needed to bake some candy potatoes and use them as foreign money to purchase manpower.
However by no means did Alex suppose that his candy potato gas ambition would transform the village.
———–
Simply as Unda stated, Close to the mountain path. He discovered a number of giant stones. He moved a few of them into his stock. After ensuring that nobody was close to him. He entered the interdimensional farm.
With out losing time, he took out a big stone as tall as him and started smashing it with the pickaxe. At first, the stone did not budge in any respect, however after hitting it with physique enhancement. Alex was pleased to search out that the stone started splitting from the center.
Now, he had two items of stone with flat sides. Alex plans to make use of it as the underside and high layer of the oven. Two extra stones sandwiched between them will prop them as much as make a stone oven.
He can burn wooden within the farthest finish to warmth the oven. And let the recent air rise and go away from the highest. He might additionally feed air from behind by a small gap.
By closing the entrance aspect with a equally minimize stone, he might make a stone oven simply. This was the proper technique to prepare dinner candy potatoes.
And a good higher thought was to make use of scorching air from the highest to dry meat and different issues. This was an all-in-one cooking contraption made to enhance life. Alex was pleased along with his design.
He by no means realized to make one thing like this in his total life. However that did not cease him from attempting.
He was used to going through issues head-on and fixing them.
He did not want an ideal resolution. He simply wanted a working contraption.
Enhancements could be made sooner or later.
‘It simply must work. And it’ll work.’
After constructing the brand new oven. Alex went again to his house.
He took out one stone at a time and started constructing the oven. No villagers bothered him.
Alex was only a child rolling stones round to make one thing. Why ought to they care about him? It was how the villagers thought.
Lastly, after a few hours of intense work, Alex constructed a stone mound close to his home. To not make the villagers suspicious, he needed to manually drag stones from outdoors the village. It was exhausting work.
After chopping up some firewood. He lit them contained in the oven.
Now, sometimes, curious glances have been directed at him. But Alex was not bothered by it. He positioned some candy potatoes inside and left.
———-
After a while, a candy savoury aroma of the candy potato permeated the environment.
Unda, who was close by was salivating, trying on the stone oven.
“What’s that huge brother Meru?” He requested.
“It is one thing used to prepare dinner meals.” The tribesmen have by no means seen a cooking contraption like that earlier than. They solely used clay pots and fireplace to prepare dinner their total life. If clay pots should not out there, they barbecue the meat and eat them.
Greens have been usually consumed uncooked and rarely cooked. So, Alex might solely clarify it as one thing used for cooking.
“What are you cooking proper now. It smells so good. Can I’ve one?”
“In fact, you’ll be able to have one. It is one thing actually yummy.” Alex smiled and replied. That smile did have an underlying which means behind it.
Whereas he cooked candy potatoes, he cooked up a plan to draw the folks. And the best and best manner was by giving it away without spending a dime.
Like a drug vendor, giving freebies to addict his prospects. Alex was planning to make use of freebies to make them work for him sooner or later. It was a sinister plan.
“Ku Ku Ku…” He laughed.
He wasted no time in taking out the baked candy potatoes.
“Unda, take this. That is referred to as a candy potato. Eat it whereas it is heat.” After barely cooling it, he gave one to Unda.
“And provides these to our neighbours. Ship it rapidly. When you do it. I offers you extra, later.” Seeing Unda benefit from the baked candy potato, Alex coaxed Unda to work for him.
His plan was already half full.
