After taking a bath to relax his tiring body, Xu Xin began to try out his new ability.
He first took inventory of the new materials in his hands.
There are more than one hundred colorful green-grade crystals and 132 pieces of mahogany, which are all materials that can be used for carving, and the mahogany can also be used to make furniture.
Xu Xin took out all the crystals and placed them on the floor. These crystals themselves can also increase the decoration of the tree house.
It is detected that there are 1 white crystal (green), 1 yellow crystal (green), 1 red crystal (blue), 1 blue crystal (blue), 1 white crystal (blue), 1 amethyst (purple) in the tree house. The decoration degree of the tree house is +16. The current decoration degree of the tree house is: 62.4
Um
How come he added 16 points of decoration when he poured out so many crystals? According to the previous calculation, each green-level crystal can add a point of decoration
So he came to the screen and clicked on the decoration option, in which all the decorative items were listed.
Cultivate colorful scale fish (green)*52, increase decoration level by 10.4
Breeding Taiji White Fish (Blue) and Taiji Black Fish (Blue) increases the decoration level by 32
Place red, yellow, blue, green, purple, and white crystals (green) to increase the decoration level by 6
Place red, blue, and white crystals (blue) to increase the decoration level by 9
Place amethyst (purple) to increase the decoration level by 5
Total decoration: 62.4
Xu Xin took a quick look and immediately understood how to calculate the decorative degree of these stones.
It turns out that no matter how many crystals of the same level and color there are, they can only increase the decorativeness of one crystal.
That is to say, although he has more than a dozen red crystals (green), these red crystals (green) only add 1 point of decoration in total. Crystals only have six colors, so all his green-level crystals add only 6 points of decoration to his tree house.
Come to think of it, it's impossible to add too much to a pile of broken stones.
Xu Xin calculated that, except for the green-level crystal, each type of blue-level crystal only added 3 points of decoration, and the purple-level crystal only added 5 points of decoration.
…Isn’t this too little
According to his previous calculations of the blue-green grade exchange ratio of wood and stone, it is about 50:1. How come the difference between the blue and green grade decoration is so small
Could it be that the advantages of blue and purple grades will only be reflected after they are carved into finished products
There are many requirements for carving, so let’s take a look at the mahogany furniture first.
Coming to the screen, Xu Xin clicked on the tree house renovation option. Sure enough, after obtaining the mahogany materials, several methods of making mahogany furniture were added to the options.
Mahogany Bookcase (Green): A classic and elegant bookcase that can be placed in a tree house to increase the decoration. Requires Mahogany (Green)*3
The first one surprised Xu Xin a little. He didn't expect that a large bookcase could be made with only three pieces of mahogany.
Thinking that other woods are bought in pieces but mahogany is bought in roots, and that a piece of mahogany is much larger than other woods, he felt relieved.
Continue looking down.
Mahogany long cabinet (green): A classic and elegant long cabinet that can be placed in a tree house to increase the decoration. Requires mahogany (green) *3
It still only requires three pieces of red wood.
In addition, there are mahogany desks, mahogany chairs, mahogany beds, mahogany wardrobes, mahogany bedside tables, and mahogany dressing tables.
These can all be used to increase the degree of decoration. Unfortunately, Xu Xin does not have blue-grade mahogany at the moment. The furniture made from these green-grade mahogany only has the effect of increasing the degree of decoration, and has no other functions, so it cannot replace his current furniture.
But it is still possible to make them and place them in the tree house specifically to increase the decoration.
Xu Xin immediately made a mahogany bookcase and a long cabinet. The bookcase was placed in the small study, and the long cabinet was placed under the screen to serve as a TV cabinet.
A mahogany bookcase (green) is detected in the tree house. The tree house decoration level is +3. The current tree house decoration level is 65.4.
A mahogany long cabinet (green) is detected in the tree house. The decoration degree of the tree house is +3. The current decoration degree of the tree house is: 68.4
Each piece of mahogany furniture can increase the decoration level by 3 points.
So he made a mahogany desk and placed two mahogany chairs in the study.
… Mahogany desk (green), tree house decoration +3, current tree house decoration: 71.4
… Redwood chair (green), tree house decoration +3, current tree house decoration: 74.4
really.
He made two chairs, but only added 3 points of decoration. These furniture have the same properties as crystals, and the same furniture cannot provide decoration repeatedly.
He had originally been thinking about whether he could use the number of mahogany furniture to increase the decoration level, but it seems that this is not possible, as there are only eight mahogany furniture blueprints in the list.
So Xu Xin made one copy each of the remaining beds, bedside tables, wardrobes and dressing tables.
He had a blue-wood bed in his bedroom, which could not be replaced with a mahogany bed, so he put the mahogany bed and dressing table in the second empty bedroom and put the bedside table and wardrobe in his own room.
After making these four pieces of mahogany furniture, the decoration level of Xu Xin's tree house reached 86.4.
There are only so many mahogany furniture that can be made at present. He can no longer use furniture to improve the decoration level unless he can get blue-level materials and make blue-level furniture. According to the decoration level of crystal, different levels are not considered the same resource.
Try to get the decoration level over 100 today. If it exceeds 100, you may be able to see the effect!
The next step is carving and painting.
Carving and painting are much more troublesome than making furniture, and he has to make the corresponding tools first.
Open the crafting list to view tools related to engraving.
Carving Tool Set (Green): can be used to carve green-level materials and make green-level carvings. Requires Iron Block (Green)*1, Wood (Green)*1
Carving and Painting Workbench (Blue): Only on this workbench can you carve and paint works that will go down in history! Requires 5 redwood (green) and 5 stone (blue)
The lowest level of the tool set is green, and it can only engrave green-level materials, so Xu Xin must make a blue-level set, which requires an iron block (blue) and a piece of wood (blue).
There seemed to be no limit to the workbench. According to previous experience, the grade of workbench items was fixed. So this carving and painting workbench could only be blue grade. He had a lot of mahogany, but he didn't have any blue grade stone at the moment.
But Li Wenxi definitely has them, she never lacks these things.
Xu Xin immediately sent a video to Li Wenxi, and the other party answered the call after a few seconds.
Li Wenxi was curled up on the sofa rubbing his eyes.
She was not good at swimming, so after the activity started, she went out and fluttered around near the tree house, but found nothing, so she came back.
There was nothing to do in the tree house, so she, Qi Xuefei, Wang Lei and a few others stayed in the house and did not go anywhere. They fell asleep while chatting.
"You... are sleeping in broad daylight." Xu Xin was speechless.
"What can I do? I'm not as good at swimming as you. I almost drowned after swimming a little. I swallowed a mouthful of rainwater every time I took a breath." Li Wenxi had just woken up and propped himself up from the sofa. He said weakly, "This event is really a benefit for people who are good at swimming."
"There is no benefit at all. It's very dangerous."
Xu Xin told Li Wenxi what he had encountered, including the underwater whirlpool and the blood-marked swordfish. He told Li Wenxi that the blood-marked swordfish was much stronger than the ordinary mutant beasts they had encountered.
"This, this, this, a new monster?" Li Wenxi was a little scared and patted his chest. "Fortunately, I didn't swim far. With my swimming ability, if I encountered a monster in the water, let alone a mutant beast, even an ordinary big fish that would attack people, I would basically not be able to come back. It's a pity that I can't get the new resources..."
Xu Xin actually felt that something was wrong with this activity. The restrictions on abilities were too great. If he hadn't happened to obtain the scale armor set, he would have only been able to stay in the tree house for one day, and these new resources would have been out of his reach.
But he didn't know why, so he could only comfort her: "There's still night, maybe there will be new changes at night, and you can go out."
"Who knows? I'll just borrow your good words."
After such a long exchange of pleasantries, Xu Xin also stated his purpose: "I want to trade you a blue-level iron block and five blue-level stones. Do you still have these?"
Li Wenxi showed an expression of as expected: "I knew you were here to ask me for resources. You never contact me when you have nothing to do. Of course I still have these. As long as they are mineral resources, they are enough for me at any time."
Xu Xin smiled awkwardly. That was true. With life uncertain every day, who would have time to chat? "I'll trade you some new resources, mahogany, which can be used to make furniture and decorate the tree house."
"New resources? That's great!"
Xu Xin exchanged eighteen pieces of mahogany (green) for these six blue-level resources. Judging from the level and quantity, it seems that he made a fortune, but you have to know that mahogany is much larger and rarer than normal wood, and there is no way to obtain it yet.
Eighteen pieces of mahogany are enough for Li Wenxi to make six pieces of furniture, which is equivalent to exchanging one piece of furniture for one resource.
"Wow, this piece of redwood is so big, isn't it just a tree?" Li Wenxi stared at the piece of wood in front of him with his eyes wide open.
"Three pieces can make a mahogany furniture, and the furniture can increase the decoration level, so you should be able to unlock the decoration level option." Xu Xin explained, and gave her six green-level crystals of different colors, "This can also increase the decoration level."
"This is the crystal you mentioned. It's really beautiful." Li Wenxi seemed to like shiny things very much and couldn't let go of the crystal.
"Oh, and don't repeat the furniture. Repeating the furniture won't add any decorative value."
"Oh ok!"
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin immediately made a blue-level engraving tool set and engraving and painting tool table.
He also placed the engraving and painting tool bench in the study instead of on the second floor.
He didn't want to sit down and carve on the second floor among the manufacturing tables. And if the furnace was working, the environment on the second floor would become very bad, which would be even more unsuitable for carving quietly.
Taking out a piece of green-level crystal, Xu Xin decided to try his hand at it.
