Chapter 557: Chapter 557
[Materials: [Pine Tar] ×1, [Wood] ×60, [Fiber] ×30]
[Effect: Converts animal fur into beautiful fabric]
[Note: Strive to become a master tailor!]
"A loom is here already? Does that mean I can make my own pants now?" Han Qiwu was instantly interested, eager to craft one.
But when he saw the materials, he got a bit stumped.
How do I get this stuff?
As he continued to look at another blueprint, he smiled.
[Materials: [Wood] ×40, [Iron Ingot] ×2]
[Effect: Collects natural resin from trees]
[Note: The blood of industry is born]
Isn’t this convenient?
Whatever I need appears.
This resin collector should be able to collect pine tar from pine trees, right?
Without further ado, Han Qiwu quickly crafted two resin collectors and headed towards the Miniature Forest.
He’s been encountering pine trees while logging these past few days, maybe he’ll find some today too.
Just as he entered the Miniature Forest, a line of prompts appeared before him.
[Total number of trees felled meets the requirement, daily tree refresh limit increased to 80]
As he entered the cutting area, he looked around and saw a few pagoda-shaped pine trees.
He walked over and installed the two resin collectors.
The resin collectors look unique, with five probes automatically attaching to the tree bark, while the collection bin at the bottom was still empty.
[Pine tar collecting, estimated collection time: 12 hours]
"Alright, I’ll come back tonight to collect." Han Qiwu took out an axe and chopped down other trees, collecting a total of [Wood] ×156.
The Miniature Forest was truly a good buy!
Back at the yard, he quickly made some breakfast and watched a bit of TV.
Tomorrow will be light rain
Proper combinations can unleash unlimited power
Good for mining, avoid mountain climbing
[Heard you’re about to have wheat? Then you must try this]
[You’ve learned how to make scallion pancakes]
[Materials: [Scallions] ×2, [Oil] ×1, [Wheat Flour] ×2]
[Note: Scallion pancakes will bring you happiness]
While eating, Han Qiwu analyzed the contents on TV.
The life hack requires some thought.
The almanac information is just the opposite of yesterday; guess I’ll go mining today.
Shennong’s recipe this time is quite down-to-earth.
Scallion pancake, made of: scallions, oil, cake.
Let’s wait until I have wheat.
If I eat it now, it might just cause me heat.
Turning off the TV, Han Qiwu packed enough supplies, called on Poison Liquid Radio, and was just about to head to the mine when he recalled the morning sounds of ducks and sheep.
With anticipation, Han Qiwu headed into Hongyan Tower.
Once inside, he was surprised by what he saw on the duck nest.
A pile of duck feathers, glowing with system light, scattered on the duck nest.
He quickly stepped forward to gather them and check the situation.
[Gaoyou Duck Feather]
[Special Effect - Warmth: Gaoyou duck feathers are soft with good warmth retention]
[Special Effect - Fluffy: Muscovy feather is fluffy with strong adaptability]
[Note: It will behave differently in the loom]
Got the feathers now.
But duck feathers should be used for down jackets, probably not needed yet.
Once I have wool or grow my own cotton, the fabric from the loom should be able to make summer half-sleeves.
After packing everything up, Han Qiwu went to the bait box he set yesterday and clicked on the phantom above it.
[Fresh Bait]×3 Latest content published on Nov3lFɪre.ɴet
[Special Effect - Fresh: Reduces fish hooking time within two days]
[Note: Fresh bait attracts fish love]
"This bait box is kinda interesting, could make a couple more in the future." Satisfied, Han Qiwu put away the fresh bait, called on Poison Liquid Radio, and rode his pony straight to the mine.
The first level of today’s mine was still pitch-black, with quite a few coal lumps scattered on the ground, and Han Qiwu picked up over ten of them in a short while.
Time to start mining!
[You’ve reached Mine Level 95]
As his vision returned, Han Qiwu routinely took out white cogongrass water to start feeding Xiao Lai and the little electric.
"Here, don’t be shy, drink up, drink up."
Xiao Lai looked at Han Qiwu with a peculiar expression, stretched out his little paw and pushed the white cogongrass water aside, pointing to the location of his heart.
"Master, you drink it yourself, I have a Lava Heart."
Seeing Xiao Lai doesn’t need to drink up, the little electric beside him showed an envious look.
When will I get one too?
I want to dye my hair red!
After finishing the white cogongrass water, Han Qiwu looked around the surrounding terrain. It was just like last time, still nothing much to explore here.
Might as well go deeper into the mine, let’s see what Level 100 looks like.
Could there really be an underground world?
[You’ve reached Mine Level 96]
As his vision returned, Han Qiwu felt a rush of wind tighten around his ears. He immediately put away his pets, summoned the Wind Fire Wheel, dodged with a bridge move, and quickly pulled out a Scorching Shield to block in front of himself.
A large mine creature resembling a squid was lashing out its tentacles at Han Qiwu’s position.
"What the heck is this thing?" Han Qiwu felt a huge force pass through the Scorching Shield, almost knocking the shield out of his hands.
Thankfully, after a few more lashings, the Scorching Shield triggered the Fire Poison Mark, revealing the creature’s attributes after causing damage.
[Attack Methods: Lashing, Entwining, Ink Spraying]
[Note: Lava squids can move through magma rivers and might appear on any layer within the lava range]
"Level 98? Thank goodness I didn’t encounter this earlier, it would have been tricky to handle." Realizing the situation, Han Qiwu activated his cloak and fled, putting distance between them before throwing two Flame Bombs in reverse.
As the ashes scattered, he noticed the creature wasn’t dead yet, despite having most of its tentacles blown off, it was still trying to escape using its remaining tentacles.
Han Qiwu rushed forward with an ice stick, ensuring safety by releasing Xiao Lai and the little electric for a bit of assistance.
After a few rounds of control, Han Qiwu effortlessly sent the creature back to where it came from, using the ice stick’s meridian-blocking and bleeding effects.
"Squids should stay in the sea, why come out here?"
As the white light faded, Han Qiwu was delighted to find a glowing item on the ground, quickly walking over, and letting his magnetic ring automatically draw it in.
[Note: Peculiar ingredient]
