Yun Xiao Yi approached the wall, preparing to install a large scenic window here. Although the second floor was intended as a resting area and should emphasize privacy, this did not hinder his bold design choices, which featured expansive transparent surfaces. As for maintaining privacy, simple measures could be implemented later, such as hanging sunshades.
For him, this was not difficult. Even though the material options were limited compared to future choices, the craftsmanship of ancient techniques was exquisite. The materials were not restricted to coarse burlap; they included many finely textured and vividly colored silks, even the legendary lightweight plain gauze that appeared during the Han Dynasty.
Following his previous steps, Yun Xiao Yi held the glass and, with a thought, firmly adhered it to the wall. After completing the installation on the second floor, they proceeded to the higher level—the third floor—designed specifically for relaxation and enjoyment. The most striking feature planned for this space was a swimming pool.
The pool's bottom had been excavated to a depth of about two meters and was yet to be filled with water. This time, Yun Xiao Yi did not immediately start installing windows; instead, he decided to fill the pool first. He took out a bucket full of water and accurately placed it in a pre-selected spot. Immediately, those blocks representing the Infinite Water Source began to function, continuously pumping clear spring water into the pool.
Due to the game's settings, water would stop spreading beyond a certain distance. To overcome this limitation, he brought several more buckets of the same type for distribution until water source points were set up along the entire edge of the swimming pool.
At that moment, despite countless streams converging together, the surface of the pool remained uneven, especially in the depressions where the water appeared particularly shallow. It was difficult to swim; even moving one's feet would cause one to sink deeply.
However, Yun Xiao Yi did not seem anxious; instead, he waited silently. It seemed that these endless Water Cubes had reached a critical point. Soon enough, these Water Cubes began to merge with one another, slowly spreading like ocean waves from one end to the other.
Eventually, all separated Water Cubes completely fused into one cohesive body, forming a smooth and stable body of water. At first glance, it seemed he had painstakingly crafted just a swimming pool. In reality, it was far more than that.
Thanks to the unique rules of My World, he had created a pool that could provide an infinite supply of water resources. In the future, even if he needed buckets of water, there would be no need to trek through mountains or search for rivers. He could simply pick up an empty bucket and easily obtain the water he needed right by the poolside.
This body of water will never run dry. Each time a bucket of water is taken out, the pool automatically replenishes itself. If one day, Yun Xiao Yi wants to completely change the water in the swimming pool, the method is quite simple. All that is needed is to prepare enough empty buckets and use stones to partition the entire pool. By doing this, the pool's infinite replenishing feature can be temporarily isolated.
Next, one just needs to scoop out the water with the empty buckets one by one until the pool is completely drained. After breaking the stones used for partitioning, the scooped-out water can be returned to the Infinite Water Block using the same method. Thus, with the help of special rules in My World, a new source of continuous water supply for the swimming pool will be born again.
"Can you swim?" Yun Xiao Yi suddenly turned to Zhao Yun and asked.
Zhao Yun nodded in response, "I can swim. However, I haven't been in the water for a long time, so my skills have become quite rusty."
Of course, in recent years, Ji Province has experienced prolonged droughts with little rain, and the Hutuo River has turned into a trickle. Not to mention that there weren't any dedicated places for practicing swimming back then.
Seeing this, Yun Xiao Yi gently waved his hand and reassured him, "It's okay; from now on, if you want to swim, you can always come find me. My indoor swimming pool is unaffected by any weather conditions."
Then he added with a smile, "Just remember to bring your swimsuit first."
Zhao Yun looked a bit confused and asked, "What do you mean by swimsuit?"
At that moment, Yun Xiao Yi realized that perhaps the concept of swim trunks did not exist during the Eastern Han Dynasty. In fact, it was similar to underwear; as long as it covered the lower body, that would suffice. However, Zhao Yun expressed his confusion once again. What did underwear refer to? Had he never even heard of it?
Faced with Zhao Yun's response, it was now Yun Xiao Yi who felt surprised. Could it be that people in ancient times did not wear underwear at all? She recalled having seen some introductions online that mentioned how ancient people might have gone without it. Most trousers back then were likely without a closed crotch.
Thinking of this, Yun Xiao Yi adjusted her expression and focused her gaze on Zhao Yun's loose outer robe. Was he wearing anything underneath? Zhao Yun nodded naturally. "Of course, I am wearing Dubi Kuan."
With that, Zhao Yun deliberately lifted a corner of his robe to show Yun Xiao Yi what he was wearing. She took a careful look. It seemed that men in the late Eastern Han were not as rumored. The so-called Dubi Kuan was actually quite similar to what we refer to as underwear today. The name might differ from modern terminology, but it was indeed quite descriptive.
