Natural disaster base.
Xiaoxiao said with a strange look on her face: "Have you noticed... there are often some strange things in the base recently, such as... what are those flowers used for?"
Uncle Tian: "Oh! I know this. It's the material collected by the player named Sentinel. It seems to be... Advanced Radiant Flower, which is also a material. Maybe you can use it to make equipment."
Yukiko: "Stay away from those flowers. I got close to them just now... and was burned by the radiation. I lost dozens of HP."
"Oh... I see. This material can also add radiation properties to equipment. It's just right. Let's borrow one from him and add it to the equipment to try."
At this time, Xiaoxiao, Xue Zi... and the skeletons worked overtime and had refined a large amount of sponge iron. This kind of iron is also called pig iron. It has a high carbon content and is relatively soft. It is okay to use it to make some tough iron tools, but it is obviously not qualified for making weapons.
So, today!
"We want to turn iron into steel!"
"Put the pot on the stove and light the fire!"
"Little Skeletons, move!"
In the large blast furnace, a clay pot is placed inside, with a space underneath for charcoal.
Xiaoxiao filled the clay pot with pig iron and then lit it!
The blazing flames gradually raised the temperature of the blast furnace to 1250 degrees, and the soft pig iron began to melt...
After burning for 3 hours, a large pot of molten iron appeared.
"Xiaobai, Xiaohei, come on!"
The two skeletons were taken out of the clay pot with large tongs and poured into a clay pool outside, with charcoal underneath heating it.
Xiaoxiao, Uncle Tian and Xuezi each took a stone stick and began to stir the molten iron quickly.
Puffs of black smoke came out.
Xiaoxiao said: "This is the 'steel frying method' introduced in Tiangong Kaiwu. Through blowing air and rapid stirring, the air and carbon elements in the molten iron are combined to form carbon dioxide gas, which floats away. It can effectively reduce the carbon content of iron and form steel with a carbon content of 0.02% to 1.7%!"
Yukiko added: "We stop stirring when we think it's almost done. We also can't let the carbon content of the steel be too low, otherwise it will be too hard and easy to break, making it unsuitable for making weapons."
Uncle Tian: "Awesome... I never thought you two girls could do such rough work."
After the three people have stirred it almost enough, they stop heating it and pour the molten iron into molds. The molten iron cools down quickly and turns into several pieces of hard steel. This is the raw material for making weapons or tools.
Wait until the steel is completely formed and cooled.
The skeleton dug a piece of knife-shaped steel out of the mold.
Xiaoxiao used a stone to grind off the black oxide on it, looked at the silvery-white metallic color inside, and tested its hardness and toughness.
"It's a good piece of steel! We did it!"
"This pot of steel is enough for me to make many Tang swords."
"I want to get a Longquan Sword!"
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Xiaoxiao and Xuezi embraced each other warmly, expressing the friendship between girls.
Uncle Tian: "... ...Does anyone want to hug me?"
The two of them immediately gave Lao Tian a hug and said, "Good job, Lao Tian! You helped us make steel this time. Whatever you want to do next, we two sisters will do our best to help you!"
Uncle Tian looked surprised. She thought she could just say something to liven up the atmosphere, but she didn't expect...
He suddenly felt like he had friends in this game.
"Okay... okay! Then I won't be polite. Next I will start a large-scale construction! Build infrastructure for the base! I'll say no more. I went to the Ethereal Land yesterday and gained 200 experience points. I'll go chop some trees and level up. I'll be able to summon skeletons soon. Add Yukiko's skeletons and we'll have 6 permanent and working skeletons. They'll help me turn the Scourge Base into a real city!"
Various life skills also add experience points. Although it is a little less, it is almost enough for these two players to level up when accumulated.
Skeletons:
You are amazing, you are so noble! You do the infrastructure, I do the work! You are really good at playing games!
After Xiaoxiao obtained the steel, she immediately started forging knives.
First, put the steel into a blast furnace and heat it until it turns red and softens, then sprinkle the ground juice of a whole large radiant flower on the steel, which directly achieves the effect of semi-cold extraction.
A burst of green smoke rose up, and Xiaoxiao's health dropped by 50 points...
Suffered radiation damage.
Grandpa Tian, who was watching, said, "This big flower is really poisonous. Next time when the necromancer is practicing, I will place one behind him. I heard that he can be harmed by radiation. Let's try it and see if it works..."
Xiaoxiao: “6!”
Atton, who was practicing not far away, continued to indulge in extreme training because he could not hear the players' language.
After the cold extraction, several green stripes appeared on the steel knife blank, emitting a strange aura.
Xiaoxiao put the knife blank on the whetstone and began to grind it carefully.
This is a long process, and Skeleton cannot do this job, so Xiaoxiao has to do it.
Uncle Tian got bored after watching for a while, so he took his skeleton minions to cut down trees and build infrastructure.
He plans to make a wooden door for the disaster base today.
After consulting the lord and receiving a positive response, Uncle Tian started to work with the skeletons.
... ... .
Game time, 3 p.m.
All the players returned.
Each of them has their own skills.
Top team.
Xigou, Yaohu and Lintang have all reached level 3.
Each gained 1 attribute point and 3 skill points.
All attribute points are added to strength, which will definitely increase physical fitness and health.
Skill points...
For the Barbarian profession, the thin dog can learn battle roar and more advanced barbarian skins, or add a barbarian profession specialization slot.
"I'm sure you'll want to get level 1 Battle Shout first..."
After clicking, Xigou felt that the method of using a skill entered his mind, as if he was born with the ability to use the throat muscles and Dantian Qi to produce such powerful sound waves.
"Huh? How magical... So this is what it feels like to learn active skills. I thought there was just an extra skill button, and I could use it automatically by just using my consciousness, but I didn't expect it to be like this... It's quite fun."
Xigou thought carefully about how to use the remaining two skill points.
He checked the improvements provided by levels 2 and 3 of Battle Shout.
"Oh... Upgrading to level 1 increases the range by 0.4, increases physical damage by 8 points and trauma damage by 45 points, as well as stun duration by 0.2 seconds and a debuff that reduces defense by 13 points."
Among them, a small amount of damage is not a big deal.
That is to say, it's just a matter of doing more general attacks.
The main thing is to increase the range by 0.4 meters and the stun time by 0.2 seconds.
“Is it worth using precious skill points to learn it?”
Xigou was a little conflicted. He was afraid that he would just learn the level 3 battle roar and a better skill would drop right after him, and then he would have to watch helplessly.
This is very likely to happen!
After all, the boss we are going to kill today is a plunderer, so it’s not too much to drop a skill seal, right
After much thought, Xigou decided to go to level 1 first.
"Compared to the improvement gained by each level, the benefit of level 1 is the highest..."
Then click on the 1st level Barbarian specialization slot, leaving 1 skill point as a spare.
The fox demon didn't hesitate and directly gave 3 skill points to the skeleton's resurrection without even looking at the bone spear.
There is no other reason, because level 5 Skeleton Resurrection... can summon 2 Skeletons.
Blizzard Polar Bear who heard the news: "..."
"Who told me to choose Bone Spear? I can't summon 2 Skeletons at level 3. Everyone here is responsible! I'm so angry!"
After the fox demon finished clicking, he waved his hand to the side and two skeletons jumped out of the plunderer's body.
One holds a bone knife and the other holds a bone crossbow.
The fire in his eyes grew stronger.
Atton, who was happily practicing among the corpses newly brought back by the players:
He was startled!
"He... can actually use the Skeleton Resurrection to such an extent that he can summon two like me?"
At this time, he looked at the skeleton holding the bone crossbow again, and frowned deeply.
“No... His attainments in necromancy are even better than mine! He can already change the form of skeletons on his own, creating more intimidating long-range skeletons... Damn it! When did... this man's men grow to this level!?”
"No, I have to become stronger! If I keep going on like this, I might become the weakest necromancer in this base. If I'm no longer needed by then...hiss!"
Thinking of this, Atton, who had just recovered his energy, walked onto the energy emission column by himself.
“Ahh~”
Extract 830 points of death energy.
"Sure enough... The extreme training method is useful, and I am improving too."
Atton gave a weak but satisfied smile.
