Just as Luke put down his workbench, a system notification rang in the ears of all the players present.
"Congratulations to the players for unlocking the shared item - the multi-functional workbench. Players can use the workbench to create any item."
Luke glanced at the players around him and noticed that they were keeping a respectful distance this time, so he nodded in satisfaction.
"I will only demonstrate once; you can figure out the rest yourselves."
After Luke finished speaking, he stood near the workbench and took out some materials.
Luke took out a stone and some liquid from the ring on his hand.
"First, the stone is carefully polished on a polishing stone. Then, the soft vines are placed in a plasticizer for reinforcement. Finally, they are bound together with thick branches."
Tied together...
As Luke crafted the axe, he explained its construction, and soon, a perfect stone axe appeared before the players.
This stone axe has an incredibly sharp blade; it's not one of those junk items that players make themselves.
"Congratulations on learning the crafting process of the stone axe. You can also use the workbench to develop more crafting recipes for other items."
After Luke finished crafting the stone axe, the players heard another system notification.
Luke glanced around at the other players, then pulled a large blackboard from his ring and hung it on the door of his room.
After finishing these tasks, Luke clapped his hands and went back into the room.
After Luke entered the room, the players gathered around the blackboard.
A few tasks were simply posted on the blackboard.
Task 1:
"Exploration mission: Collect various ores."
"Mission Description: Luke has just arrived in Tiandao Village and is very interested in the surrounding ores. If you collect the ores that Luke is interested in, Luke will reward you."
"Mission reward: Luke decides."
Task Two:
"Exploration Mission: Metal Ore".
"Mission instructions: If you have metal ore, you can find Luke, and he will help you make metal weapons."
"Mission Reward: Making a weapon for you is already a reward."
Task 3:
"Recovery Mission: Recover various metal weapons."
"Mission description: Luke can help you rework any weapons you no longer need."
"Mission Reward: You should pay Luke a reward, not ask for one."
Three new tasks.
Although the developers' explanation was laughable, it undoubtedly opened the door to a new world for players. Now there is a way to create metal weapons, and the path to becoming stronger is within reach!
After reviewing the tasks, they went to check out the workbench.
The stone workbench is quite large, enough to accommodate about ten people at the same time.
Currently, players only have one recipe for crafting stone axes.
A player tried to craft a stone axe, but the system prompted him that he did not have enough materials.
Hydra examined the workbench and discovered that apart from the polishing stones being free, they didn't have anything else like plasticizers.
He frowned and thought for a moment, then gathered a few people and quickly ran to the open space at the village entrance to get some appropriately sized stones, branches, and vines.
As the guild leader, Hydra has a pretty good gaming IQ.
He sat on the stone platform and sharpened the stone into a blade shape. Since there was no plasticizer, he simply didn't use it and used vines to attach the sharp stone to a thick tree branch.
Soon, a stone axe appeared in the hydra's hand. He swung it a few times, creating gusts of wind.
"You have obtained a crude stone axe."
The system notification arrived just in time; Hydra had successfully crafted a stone axe.
Seeing that Hydra had successfully crafted the stone axe, the players all shouted "666!"
"Wow, this guy is awesome!"
"Let's go! Let's give it a try!"
The triumphant Hydra picked up the stone axe he had made and ran to the village entrance.
At the entrance of the village stands a tree of moderate size, its surrounding vegetation cleared away, leaving it all alone.
Previously, without the necessary tools, this tree could not be removed.
This is your doomsday!
Without a word, the hydra swung its stone axe and chopped at the tree, which was neither too big nor too small.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud came from the tree trunk.
The hydra forcefully pulled out its axe, leaving a deep gash in the tree.
"There's hope!!!"
Hydra looked delighted.
He quickly turned around to look at the other players who were watching the commotion.
"Everyone sees it, this stone axe is usable!"
"Quickly, let's split into three groups. One group will collect vines and stones, another group will make stone axes, and then we'll chop down trees together!"
"Now we can clear the area all at once, and we can also get some wood. Once we have the wood, we can start a fire and build a house!"
The Hydra's voice was excited.
Having the tools is undoubtedly a huge step forward.
This will obviously speed up the land reclamation process.
These beta testers are all of very high quality.
No one said anything like, "Why are you ordering us around?"
They were quickly divided into groups and began their work.
If we can't even unite during the pioneering period, what kind of game can we possibly play?
As the saying goes, to get rich, start by cutting down trees.
With the stone axe, players' efficiency improved dramatically.
Some clever players even created their own stone hoes, while those with more dexterity wove wooden baskets from branches and vines.
This is much more efficient.
Previously, it took players half a day to chase the Ghost Rabbit, but now, as soon as it appeared, the players all swung their stone axes and instantly killed it with flying axes.
Of course, some unlucky guys were hit by their own allies' flying axes and revived on the spot.
There were also players who survived being hit on the head, their faces completely pixelated, rushing over to confront the culprit; the scene was truly horrifying.
This is called casualty from stray bullets.
The players, who were enthusiastically chopping down trees and weeding, piled up trees and other usable resources in the thatched huts near the center of the square. They had already agreed to share these resources.
They even lit a huge bonfire in the square, and everyone roasted a rabbit with smiles on their faces.
Some clever players sent some rabbit meat to Luke, and Luke was very generous, giving these players some plasticizer in return.
On the third day of the closed beta test, the area within a ten-meter radius of Tiandao Village had been completely cleared out.
The results were outstanding.
At least the first phase of work within Hydra's mouth has been completed.
Nowadays, players have at least one stone axe, and those with more dexterity have even developed tools such as stone hammers and wooden clubs.
If the players before were a group of desperados, the players now are desperados with weapons in their hands.
The unity and cooperation shown by the fifty players in pioneering the new territory impressed Tiandao.
