Survival: Starting with a Tiny Treehouse

Chapter 16: First hot meal

Views:

Xu Xin looked at the discussions in the regional channel. A person named Ji Chaoyang was very active and would send everyone some practical strategies. He was quite popular in the entire channel.

"The novice protection period is about to end, but this tree house cannot make weapons. Do I have to build a synthesis table to make weapons?"

"That should be it? Is there any big guy who made a synthesis platform? Sell some weapons!"

Ji Chaoyang: "I have made a synthesis table. There is no weapon making in it, only some advanced tool tables and daily necessities."

Oh? Xu Xin raised his eyebrows. Sure enough, besides him, there were other lucky people who were able to make a synthesis table that required 100 green materials during the novice protection period. After all, these three days were just time for novices to plant tree houses. The surrounding resources were relatively simple. It was definitely very difficult to obtain 100 green materials. Even he, who had the ability to identify coins, had to cooperate with others to get two green materials together.

He also looked for the production blueprints on the synthesis table, but there were indeed no weapons. The thing that looked most like a weapon was the stone axe that could be made without a synthesis table. He didn't know how much use the stone axe would have against the impending danger.

Thinking that his stone axe was broken, he directly used a piece of blue stone and a piece of blue wood, combined with green materials, to make his second stone axe.

Excellent Stone Axe (Blue): Can be used to cut down trees of purple level and below. Because of the addition of higher-level stone and wood, it becomes tougher and sharper. Durability 1000

The blue stone axe with 1000 durability can even chop down purple trees. Xu Xin nodded with satisfaction. This thing should be able to be used for a long time. By the way, this axe can't even chop down his tree house. According to the level, his tree house is indeed made of purple-grade trees.

Xu Xin resisted the urge to give it a try with the axe and continued watching the regional channel.

The survivor named Ji Chaoyang has begun to reveal the contents of the synthesis table while being surrounded by many people.

"Furnaces, fireplaces, torches, grills, and backpacks are all craftable."

"The boss must have a lot of materials, please help us!"

"Yes, we must unite and help each other to overcome the difficulties ahead!"

“Shouldn’t resources be distributed evenly?”

Xu Xin did not read any further. He sneered and shook his head. He knew that in this kind of environment, moral kidnapping was absolutely everywhere. Now that the novice protection period has not yet passed and the danger is still unknown, he does not want to fall into this situation.

Ji Chaoyang didn't say anything else, and it seemed that he didn't want to pay any attention to this group of people.

Soon, half an hour passed, and he went down to the second floor, took out the freshly-baked iron block (blue) from the furnace, and threw all the remaining iron ore into it.

Iron Block (Blue): An iron block that has been basically free of impurities. Using one when making iron tools can improve the level of the tool.

As Xu Xin expected, the uses of iron blocks (blue) are similar to those of wood (blue) and stone (blue).

It takes three iron blocks to make a grill. He immediately used two iron blocks (green) and one iron block (blue) to make the grill he had been thinking about for a long time.

Grill (Blue): A high-level grill that can grill food to perfection, making it more delicious while slightly improving the effectiveness of the food ingredients.

Without saying anything, Xu Xin put in a few pieces of wood (white), put the previously obtained shiitake mushrooms (blue), king oyster mushrooms and black fungus on the grill and started to grill. The unique aroma of shiitake mushrooms was fragrant, and they were cooked in a short while.

The flame under the grill automatically shuts off after the mushrooms are cooked, which makes Xu Xin raise an eyebrow. This function is really convenient. It makes him, a man whose barbecued food is either half-cooked or emits black smoke every time, very satisfied.

Xu Xin found the bowls and chopsticks for eating in the list. He made them using the lowest-grade white wood. Although he also had blue wood, it was a bit extravagant to use blue for the bowls and chopsticks. So he decided to use the lowest-grade tableware for the time being.

With the blessing of the blue grill, the grilled mushrooms fully released the aroma of the mushrooms. Combined with the king oyster mushrooms and black fungus, although there was no salt or seasoning to sprinkle, Xu Xin still ate it with relish. After all, he had only eaten apples, oranges and berries for the past two days and hadn't had a hot meal for a long time.

Twenty or so mushrooms were quickly eaten, and Xu Xin licked his tongue with satisfaction. He remembered that the function of this mushroom seemed to be to permanently increase intelligence by a small amount, right

With the addition of the grill and the dining table, the effects of the mushrooms should have been amplified, but he didn't seem to feel any difference. Maybe the increase in intelligence should be reflected in other places? Or is the increase too small for him to feel

Shaking his head, Xu Xin didn't think about it for the time being. He didn't have a panel to check his intelligence, physical strength and power, so he couldn't tell how much it had increased, but it didn't matter, as long as it tasted good.

After eating the mushrooms, Xu Xin planned to go out again. There were still two hours until midnight. He could go to the lake and bring back some reeds and lotus roots. After all, once the novice period was over, the lake might become more dangerous.

By the way, he might catch some fish and grill them if possible. He was still a little hungry after eating the mushrooms just now.

The three-hour night vision buff still had some time left, so Xu Xin hurried down from the tree house and tiptoed to the lake. The lake water was very clear under the moonlight, and the fish in the water were not only clearly visible, but also emitted a hazy green light, allowing Xu Xin to see the location of the fish at a glance. However, without fishing tools, it was not an easy task to catch fish.

After working for a long time, Xu Xin came back with lotus roots and a bunch of reeds pulled from the shallow shore.

"Catching fish is really a technical job."

Xu Xin, who was soaking wet, sent a message to Li Wenxi: "Do you have any green stones? I'd like to exchange some with you."

The other side replied immediately: "Okay."

So Xu Xin initiated a transaction, exchanging 100 pieces of wood (green) for 100 pieces of stone (green).

After they agreed to the deal, they made a video call.

Xu Xin looked at himself, now in a mess with his hair sticking to his forehead and soaked, and rejected Li Wenxi's request and replied, "Wait a minute."

Then he quickly made a fireplace with his wealth and placed it next to the huge screen.

He didn't notice it before he went out just now, but when he came back, the house was filled with the smoky smell of fresh barbecue. The fireplace has a function that will automatically absorb smoke and toxic gases. Moreover, he was still soaked and urgently needed a fireplace to dry himself.

The fireplace was built and Xu Xin threw a piece of wood (white) into it.

Remaining burning time: 15 minutes.

The same piece of wood (white) takes three times longer to burn than in a furnace.

Heat was radiating from around the furnace, and the temperature in the entire tree house gradually rose, making the originally suitable temperature in the tree house become a little stuffy. However, in just 10 minutes, the clothes on the body were dried and the odor was gone.

Xu Xin replied with a video call. This was the fourth time he had talked with this beautiful girl whom he just met today. Who would have thought that this beautiful girl liked video calls so much.
