Since she looked very pleasing to the eye, Xu Xin thought he should reveal some information to her: "Go dig up some soil around the tree house, put it on the identification table, and check the grade of the soil. The soil here also has grades, but we can't see the names or the grades."
"Soil is also a resource?" Li Wenxi stood up from the bed with her chest facing the screen. Then she sat down again and asked impatiently, "What did you find?"
Xu Xin told Li Wenxi about his theories about soil and plants. The more Li Wenxi listened, the more excited his expression became. He even looked at him with eyes full of admiration for the big boss.
"Xu Xin, oh no, boss, you are so strong, take me flying!" Li Wenxi even bowed to him on the bed.
Xu Xin looked at the beautiful girl who was pretending to salute him, and said, "Do you believe it? Why don't you verify it?"
"What are you trying to verify?" Li Wenxi sat back on the bed nonchalantly. "There don't seem to be any blue plants around me, and there's no need for you to lie to me."
"I always feel that you are being sold out and are still counting money for others." Xu Xin couldn't help but complain.
"How can you talk like that!" He was the big boss just now, but now he has become a jerk. Li Wenxi stared at him with wide eyes, "Are you really lying to me?!"
"What's the benefit of me lying to you?" Xu Xin rolled his eyes at her in annoyance. He finally understood that this girl was really a fool. Maybe her family was rich and she was overprotected. She thought that everyone around her was a good person. Fortunately, the one she was trading with was Xu Xin, who had abundant resources and special abilities, so he didn't have to cheat others to survive. Otherwise, she might really be cheated.
"Hmm..."
"Okay, let's stop chatting and get to work." Xu Xin stood up and put the stone pickaxe aside. He now wanted to make an upgraded stone shovel. After all, the tree had been cut down, but the stump was still there, so he had to clear it first.
And he remembered that the stone shovel had a certain probability of obtaining seeds.
"I don't want to do it. I moved rocks all day yesterday and my whole body is sore." Li Wenxi pursed her lips. She was a little addicted to chatting.
For her, these past two days have been a lonely situation where she feels that her future is uncertain and her life is not in her own hands. She doesn't know what to do except mining. Now she has found someone to chat with, and most importantly, he is a handsome guy! This makes her not want to turn off the video.
"Today is the last day of the novice protection period. Who knows what kind of weird things may pop up tomorrow. You should bring back as many stones as you can today." Xu Xin immediately persuaded her that this last day should not be wasted.
"Well... okay!" Although her limbs ached, what Xu Xin said made sense, and the two of them had been chatting for such a long time, and the pressure accumulated in the past two days was basically released. Since there was something to do now, she couldn't stop. As a girl who could stick to fitness, her self-control was stronger than most people.
"Then... let's talk about it tonight." The beautiful girl even felt a little reluctant.
"Okay, let's talk again tonight." Xu Xin hung up the video call.
He picked up a stone (blue) and made a stone shovel directly.
Improved Stone Shovel (Green): Can dig blue-level and lower soil materials, with a 50% chance of obtaining seeds of plants on the soil, durability 200
The probability has increased from extremely small to 50%, that’s great!
Xu Xin picked up the stone axe and stone shovel, came down from the tree house and continued to work.
The improved stone shovel can dig the tree stump out of the soil with just one stroke.
Get ordinary soil (green)*1, wood (green)*1, poplar seed*1
The tree stump turned directly into a piece of wood and also obtained seeds!
Xu Xin dug the seed out of the soil.
Poplar Seeds: can be planted in the soil and in just ten days will grow into a poplar tree that can be cut down.
Aren’t poplar seeds poplar fluff? Never mind.
Xu Xin flipped the seeds in his hand. Like the tree house seeds, these seeds had no grade, and his ability to identify them could not see the color of the seeds. Xu Xin thought, perhaps the grade of the poplar trees that grew only depended on the fertility of the soil.
The excavated land became a pit. Xu Xin filled the soil back and continued digging.
Before long, Xu Xin harvested more than 20 poplar seeds and more than 40 pieces of wood, but he did not plant the seeds back to the original place, and turned the area under the tree house into a flat open space. After all, it was too much trouble for him to choose a place without trees every time he went up, and this open space could also be used to place some facilities or grow some low crops in the future.
Xu Xin first put the wood up, then spent half a day cutting trees in other places, and planted seeds in the empty spaces where the trees were cut down, achieving sustainable development!
Soon, the sun rose overhead. It was already noon on the third day. Xu Xin looked at the first layer of wood piled all over the ground and nodded with satisfaction.
Wiping the sweat off his face, he decided to have lunch first and explore some places he had never been to in the afternoon. He had to make good use of the last half day of protection period.
Before that, he had to take a bath in the lake. His body was sticky and it was really uncomfortable.
After taking a shower, he also washed his clothes. It was midday in the summer, and the sun was at its strongest, so he hung his clothes by the window, and they would dry in less than ten minutes.
Although there are dense banyan leaves outside the window, the sunlight can still shine into the room through the leaves, as if the leaves were transparent.
While eating the fruit, Xu Xin opened a bag of bread. He had to replenish his energy before exploring in the afternoon. While eating, he looked at the chat room.
"Who has water? I'm dying of thirst..."
"Why is there nothing in this damn place except trees?"
"Aren't there streams all around? Don't you know how to take a walk?"
"Who knows where the stream is? If I walk any further I won't even know where the tree house is, and I won't be able to get home!"
“Why did I choose to plant a tree house here in the first place?”
"Is there any big guy by the stream who can share some water with me? Your water is worthless anyway!"
While Xu Xin and Li Wenxi were discussing blue-quality supplies, there were still a large number of people who could not even guarantee the most basic water resources.
But Xu Xin didn't want to help them. If he wanted to give them water, he had to carry the water up and put it in containers for them. He didn't want to do the first step of carrying the water up. That would waste a lot of time. The last half day of the novice protection period couldn't be wasted on such things.
It's not impossible to make containers. There are some wooden barrels, wooden basins, wooden bowls and other containers in the crafting list. They don't need a crafting table. They can be made with wood (white). After the novice protection period is over, he can make a backpack that can carry water resources at will. Maybe he can share some with them. It's impossible to let him be a porter now. This kind of thing needs to be done by those saints. If he does it, won't he steal the limelight from them
Water resources seem scarce, but in fact, as long as the survivors can find water resources, their water resources are basically endless. Therefore, water resources cannot be exchanged for anything good. At most, they can only get white supplies. People who cannot find water resources will most likely only have white supplies. Only a fool would spend a lot of time carrying water resources in exchange for white supplies.
