Lin Xu then confirmed that the curse had no other side effects besides attracting enemies.

He ignored this and instead began to examine the newly stacked saltwater blocks.

As expected, the properties of the blocks changed after they were stacked.

Double-layered saltwater blocks

[Introduction: A rather strange creation—how can two oceans exist in one location at the same time?]

[Function: Possesses a certain amount of saltwater reserves; due to its placement near land, there is a chance of attracting near-shore fish.]

Looking at the probability description on the block, Lin Xu realized that the chance of this block spawning fish was relatively small.

After all, it's just two blocks stacked together, so the special properties don't get much of a boost.

But it's true that saltwater blocks can produce fish.

If you continue to accumulate these blocks, you'll soon be able to eat sea fish.

While large peaches are delicious, it would be even better if there were more flavor options available.

Lin Xu was looking forward to obtaining the saltwater cube later.

Moreover, unlike regular blocks, saltwater blocks have the potential to generate an infinite water source.

By using a desalination device from the equipment technology, refined salt can be continuously produced from brackish water, which is equivalent to adding another type of condiment.

Although the creatures on Lin Xu's island are all extraordinary and can survive for a long time without eating salt, it would be better to have another type of seasoning product.

In addition, the Spring of Life can also be used to irrigate schools of sea fish. With the help of the Spring of Life, the fish will definitely grow fatter and of higher quality. Whether you make them into products to exchange for Federal Coins or simply eat the top-quality, several-meter-long fish yourself, it will be a very good harvest.

Lin Xu instructed Tao Yao to continue keeping watch over the surrounding area and see if there was any loose soil.

Then he sat back in the recliner, holding a large peach in one hand and a book on equipment in the other, and continued to study the technology.

For the next half day, Lin Xu had good luck.

In addition to the loose soil he encountered last time, he obtained a lot more loose soil.

Some are forest and plain blocks.

There are also quite a few saltwater blocks.

Perhaps due to the curse of the Whale Prince, Lin Xu had a much greater chance of encountering Saltwater Cubes, and he also encountered Dark Orcas twice.

The two orcas naturally showed hostility again, but could not escape the blasting of the rotating machine gun, and two pieces of their back skin were blown off.

However, compared to the previous orca prince, the hides shed by these two whales are of slightly lower quality, though still of excellent quality.

However, Lin Xu felt that he would definitely need to practice with various materials when he practiced his equipment skills, so he didn't pick and choose and put all the leather into his personal space.

The saltwater blocks on the island have now been stacked again, making it a five-layered block structure.

As the number of blocks increased, extraordinary characteristics indeed appeared. The chances of fish appearing increased significantly, and seaweed and coral began to grow.

The block also provides a hint: if you combine and stack saltwater blocks and dirt blocks, you will create a seabed, which will then create a complete marine ecosystem.

Although this saltwater block is only ten meters deep, it is more than enough for a shallow sea block placed on the shore.

Lin Xu decisively stacked up the temporarily unused black soil blocks and then merged them with the saltwater blocks.

He then obtained a block whose stacking frequency was averaged out:

【The Triple Existence of Ocean Blocks】

[Introduction: How is it possible to create a marine ecosystem within a one-square-meter cube?]

[Function: Produces a stable 100 liters of brackish water daily. If not consumed, it will increase the depth of both ocean water and land. Current maximum depth: 100 meters for seawater, 10 meters for soil]

【Feature 1: Endless schools of fish. There is a chance that new schools of fish will be born every day. The more existing schools of fish there are, the lower the chance of a new school will be born.】

【Feature 2: Marine Ecosystem. Although this block is small, it has a complete marine ecosystem, including enough plankton, seaweed, coral, seabed jade, shrimp and crab】

Although this block currently only has two properties, and the spawning of fish is not 100% guaranteed, but rather has a certain probability.

But compared to before, this block is indeed much stronger.

What delighted Lin Xu the most was that the cube could generate itself and gradually grow larger.

If these blocks are accumulated, he can have a larger territory without having to painstakingly collect and stack more blocks.

Lin Xu was somewhat disappointed that the block would only become deeper and thicker, and would not extend into the plane. Therefore, if he wanted to expand the ocean block, he would need to get more of the same type of block.

In addition, the current properties of this block are relatively weak, so more blocks need to be stacked. Even if it can't reach the 100 times stacking of Fertile Soil, at least a dozen or twenty layers should be created so that the fish can respawn stably every day.

Lin Xu confirmed the gains from this trip and knew that his superimposed talent indeed had unlimited potential. This ability, combined with the various magical functions of the island's creations, could definitely create an endless stream of miracles.

At this moment, he was eager to take the initiative and search for loose soil everywhere.

After thinking for a moment, Lin Xu flipped through the book in his hand and turned to a picture of a mechanical creation.

"Perhaps I could build one of these to expand the land even faster?"

With that in mind, Lin Xu began to read seriously.

Time flies.

Two more hours passed, and Lin Xu and the elves had eaten quite a few peaches.

Tao Yao collected all the peach pits, saying that her abilities might be able to improve the essence of the peach pits and create a clone of the giant peach tree.

Lin Xu didn't understand what Tao Yao was saying, but he let her do it anyway.

These elves are the darlings of heaven and earth, creatures born to create miracles, and Lin Xu did not think Tao Yao would disappoint him.

Lin Xu, who had been studying the book for a long time, now had something extra in his hand.

As he played with the object, a meaningful glint appeared in his eyes, and a hint of anticipation crossed his expression.

What he held in his hand was a carving knife.

He made the knife using the tools at hand, based on his knowledge of machinery.

The carving knife itself wasn't particularly special, except that the handle was made of peach wood and the blade was made of steel ingots that Lin Xu bought while buying the house.

Lin Xu had high hopes for this carving knife, largely because of his talent for using tools.

The crafting of equipment under the island's rules is far more ingenious than that of the main world.

For example, the carving knife in Lin Xu's hand might just be an ordinary tool if used by someone else, but for someone like Lin Xu who has an extremely high talent for tools, this knife can play a much greater role.

In theory, any part, tool, or equipment that can be made using a carving knife, no matter how complex or difficult the process, can be carved out by Lin Xu as long as he understands the structure and principle of the tool and can replicate the structure with his mind. He can then carve out the corresponding product by continuously carving on the raw material with the carving knife.

During this period, Lin Xu only needed to expend some physical strength, some raw materials, and a certain amount of mental energy.

This is like the ability to smash a wooden house with your bare hands in some games from a previous life.
