Webnovel Author In The Apocalypse World-Chapter 284: Teaching Ducklings to Swim

"Not bad, Xiao Bai. If there’s anything you don’t understand in the future, just come and ask me. I’m very familiar with this farm," Go Okrim said, patting his chest with confidence. "Oh, right, Brother Shu, where is he staying?"

Kim Haru pointed to Go Okrim’s employee dormitory. "Just open the door, and you’ll see."

While Go Okrim and Kang Hose were chatting, Kim Haru had already adjusted the layout of the employee dormitory.

Previously, with only one person living there, the wooden cabin had a single unit. Now,

The new guy was so obedient that Go Okrim felt quite satisfied.

A newcomer who could clearly recognize his own position wouldn’t compete with him for Kim Haru-hyung’s attention.

This confirmed in Go Okrim’s mind that he was still the most important younger brother to Kim Haru-hyung.

With a second person, the exterior of the cabin remained unchanged, but inside, another unit and a shared living room had been added.

Go Okrim had already seen plenty of Kim Haru’s miraculous methods.

Whether it was building a chicken coop, duck pen, cow shed, dog house, or pigsty, he had witnessed them all.

Being tactful, he never asked about things that Kim Haru-hyung didn’t explain.

"Come on, I’ll show you your room. You probably haven’t stayed in such a nice place in a long time," Go Okrim said, throwing his arm over Kang Hose’s shoulder and pulling him toward the employee cabin.

Kang Hose’s Trinity Lunarian Cat and Moonlight Howling Corgi, still unaccustomed to the farm’s strong aura of mutated plants, didn’t dare to linger outside and quickly followed him into the cabin.

The reconfigured employee cabin opened into a 20-square-meter living room, equipped with a sofa, coffee table, and television.

On either side of the living room were two doors.

One led to Go Okrim’s private unit, identical in size and layout to before, while the other opened to reveal Kang Hose’s new room.

In fact, the system had provided accommodations for up to ten employees, meaning the cabin could theoretically have ten such doors.

But since only Go Okrim and Kang Hose were staying, Kim Haru hadn’t added more.

It would be easy enough to install additional units later if needed.

As Go Okrim had said, when Kang Hose saw his room, his heart warmed.

It had indeed been a long time since he had lived in such a comfortable space.

Not only was it warm and cozy, but it also had running water, electricity, and gas.

The bed, wardrobe, and other furniture were arranged in a very homey way.

He even noticed a cat bed and dog bed prepared for his Trinity Lunarian Cat and Moonlight Howling Corgi, along with water bowls for them.

Go Okrim also noticed the pet bowls and patted Kang Hose on the shoulder. "All the creatures on this little farm eat at the same time as we do, so we don’t usually keep feeding bowls in the rooms. Their bowls are in the kitchen for convenience, but if you’d prefer to feed them in your room, that’s fine too."

Not only were there just water bowls in Kang Hose’s room, but even the doghouses of the Cryo Wolf only had water bowls, to make it easier for them to drink at night if they were thirsty.

Kang Hose shook his head. "I don’t mind."

He didn’t just not mind—he was already thrilled by the thoughtful arrangement.

In fact, Kang Hose was beginning to wonder whether he even deserved to be treated this well.

"If there’s anything you need me to do, just let me know," Kang Hose said to Go Okrim. "I’m willing to do anything."

He had noticed that this place was described as a small farm.

Since it was a farm, there would inevitably be crops to grow.

Although he didn’t understand what could possibly be cultivated in a world where nothing could thrive, he didn’t plan to dwell on it.

He simply thought about how hard it was to till the soil in the post-apocalypse world.

That was grueling physical work, and he decided he could help more in this area to make things easier for Mr. Kim and Go Okrim.

Maybe that would make him seem a little more useful.

Before he could voice this thought, he saw Go Okrim’s eyes light up with excitement. "You’re really willing to do anything?"

Kang Hose nodded. "Yes."

"Perfect!" Go Okrim tossed Kang Hose’s few belongings into his room and pushed him outside. "You can unpack later. I’ve got something important for you to do right now."

Something important?

To be trusted with a task right away—it seemed they really had faith in him.

He couldn’t let them down.

With that thought, Kang Hose’s gaze grew determined.

Then, he was pushed to the shade of the Dreamweaver’s Osmanthus Tree on the other side of the farm.

Kang Hose glanced at the tree, feeling an indescribable sense of oppression as he passed it.

He didn’t recognize this mutated plant.

That made sense—after all, few had ever seen a Dreamweaver’s Osmanthus Tree.

His attention was quickly drawn back to Go Okrim, who crouched in front of three identical small structures and peered inside.

Go Okrim called out to him, "Come over here!"

Curious about these waist-high little houses, Kang Hose crouched down for a look.

Inside, he was stunned to see fluffy, yellow ducklings!

Pointing at the ducklings, Go Okrim said, "Your next task is to teach them how to swim."

What?

Kang Hose was dumbfounded.

"Teach them to swim?" For a moment, he thought his eyes were playing tricks on him. Pointing at the animals inside the little house, he asked, "Ducks?"

This was the first time Kang Hose had ever heard of someone needing to teach ducks how to swim.

Go Okrim was equally exasperated.

It was also his first time having to find someone to teach ducks to swim!

Heaven only knew why this batch of ducklings couldn’t swim.
