Oasis: The Desert King

Making a reservoir

The Table land was atleast two acre. It was flat at the top. There were cactus and patches of grass on it along with some drying looking tree. However, the most surprising thing was that it had a spring. In the middle of the tableland, there was a large patch of wet soil and puddles of water were forming.

"I should buy the hoe and the Shovel," Said Alex. The penalty was too high of a problem. If possible, Alec didn't want to die.

*Ding*

[You have bought Steel hoe×1.

You have bought Steel Shovel ×1.

Where do you want it to drop?]

"There," Said Alex, pointing to a place under a small tree a few metres away.

A blue light appeared underneath the ground and the item appeared. Alec checked them. They were of good qualities and made of steel.

"I should get to digging,"thought Alec, picking up the hoe and Spade.

It was morning. The Sun was riding in the East.

Alec chose a soft spot, a few metres away from the wet patches of soil and began to dig. Relentlessly he dug till noon by which time he had dug enough to store five hundreds volume of water. He drank some water directly from the puddles and ate some berries he found in the tree. It tasted sweet and tangy.

Next, he dug at the centre of the wet patch. When he reach a metre deep, water came rushing it, sprouting at least five feet into the air. After the water gush down, he dug around the ground, making a small pool of water around the stream.

The soil was sandy. It cannot retain water for long.

It was also the reason why it was easy to dig. Alec had found clay while digging. He mix the clay with water and applied it on the walls and floor of the reservoir in order to hold water. He dig some few more holes in order to find clay. Using those clay, he finally made the reservoir waterproof. Then, he join the Spring pool and the reservoir with a small drain of around three metres long. In about five minutes, the reservoir was filled with water.

Alec was happy. It was an extraordinary feeling of satisfaction he felt. He looked up to the blue sky and felt thankful for the second chance he was given.

"I swear I will make it big this time," Alec promised to himself, bumping his right fist into the air. At that moment, a familiar ringing sound echoed through his ears.

"Raise the productivity of the soil, Harvest your first crop and Domesticate your first livestock," Said Alec, peering into the three screens. "Well, that's that. For now, let's set up camp."

The Sun was about to set and night in the desert can be very cold unlike the day. He had to built a fire and a shelter as soon as possible. For that, he needed a tool. He check the store and got a machete for chopping wood.

Using the machete, he gathered the necessary materials. He made a small sleeping tent with two sloping roof of grass reinforced with branches he cut down from the trees inside which he made a bed of grass. He built a small fire by rubbing dried wood and roasted a small lizards he caught. Soon his first day in the new world came to an end.
