Chapter 3: To get rich, first pull down trees
That afternoon, Bilbo ran straight to the warehouse and pulled out a bunch of sausages of different flavors. He said that as a native of the Shire, he must give warm hospitality to a friend like Levi who came from afar.
Levi naturally wouldn't refuse.
The two had a sumptuous "afternoon tea" together.
While enjoying the delicious food he cooked himself, Levi was worried.
Although I have watched The Lord of the Rings many times, I am very familiar with the story.
But when he really came to this world, apart from the key story scenes and general plot that seemed like the prophecy, he knew nothing about the specific circumstances that were not described in detail in other stories.
He needs time to integrate and also needs to collect some intelligence.
After dinner, after declining Bilbo's offer of tobacco from the Charter, they sat on chairs in the small yard, staring into the distance in a daze.
The air was quiet for a moment.
"Levi, do you have anything important to do in the next few days?"
Suddenly, Bilbo asked this question.
Levi glanced at Bilbo and raised his eyebrow.
Bilbo stood up, took a breath and said, "Of course, don't get me wrong, I don't want to pry into your privacy. What I mean is that if you don't have anything important to do, maybe you can stay here for a few more days."
"Look, the scenery in the Shire is pretty nice, isn't it? I think you can walk around and give yourself a break."
"Well... you know, we Hobbits never like to leave our homeland, nor do we like adventures. But I am personally interested in the scenery outside. If you are willing, you can tell me about it. I am also willing to play the role of a good host and entertain you."
After saying this, Bilbo put his hands on his waist and blinked, waiting for Levi's reply.
In his eyes at this moment, Levi has become a top chef traveling far away, and maybe even the royal chef of some human kingdom.
With food made with this kind of craftsmanship, every extra bite you eat is like earning a bite.
The air returned to silence.
Levi saw through this little trick after just a quick thought.
Sure enough, people with skills will never have trouble wherever they go.
Bilbo was a little uneasy, and just when he opened his mouth again to say something, Levi smiled.
"Hahaha, since you said that, I'm going to shamelessly bother you for a few more days."
"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Bilbo."
"Oh, yes, yes!" Bilbo nodded repeatedly.
Levi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got up and returned to the house.
This was the first time Bilbo invited a stranger he had just met to stay in his home, so he was inevitably a little nervous.
Leisurely time is always short. The gap between afternoon tea and dinner passes in just a few words.
In the name of learning, Levi learned several recipes in one night. As a result, all the dishes cooked by Bilbo were eaten by Levi, and all the system-level delicacies made by Levi were given to Bilbo.
For a moment, the Hobbit felt a little ashamed. He was eating high-quality food while Levi had to deal with his own crude cooking.
It must be difficult for such a chef to eat such crudely prepared food...
Bilbo thought that if he had to eat burnt fried fish made by a novice in the kitchen, he would definitely not be able to bear it.
At the table, the two people who had just finished dinner had satisfied expressions on their faces.
I have to say, the Hobbit's stomach is really big.
According to Levi's usual appetite, this meal would last him a whole day.
Li Weiben also thought that he might not be able to eat. After all, in "Minecraft", you can't eat anymore when your hunger bar is full.
However, he was surprised to find that he could continue eating after his hunger bar was full.
The extra food turns into a second, brighter hunger bar that covers the original hunger bar.
Apple peel? The so-called Apple peel is a mod that can display the "saturation".
In MC, no matter whether it is the recovery of health or the consumption of physical strength, the first thing deducted is the saturation, and then the hunger.
However, saturation and hunger are often not synchronized. The saturation added by most foods is less than the hunger value, which causes the second hunger bar to be full most of the time.
But now, after the hunger value is full, Levi can continue to eat to fill up the saturation.
When the second hunger bar, which is the saturation level, is full, no matter how much you continue to eat, there will be no new changes. At this time, you will normally feel that your stomach is full.
Very reasonable.
After dinner, Levi said hello to Bilbo and left quietly, running into the distant woods.
Levi had wanted to do this for a long time.
He just looked around to make sure that no one lived in the area and that no one would disturb him.
So he raised his hand and knocked hard on the big tree in front of him.
Boom.
A slightly dull sound was heard.
A barely perceptible crack appeared on the tree trunk.
The hands were intact.
Boom boom boom boom…
A dull sound continued to be heard, and after a few loud punches left a great psychological trauma on the tree, a "pop" sounded, and a gap appeared in the middle of the tree. The whole tree fell to the ground with a bang, startling a group of birds and beasts.
In contrast, a miniature piece of wood fell to the ground and floated slowly.
After being sucked into the backpack, the name is revealed: Oak Log.
The difference from the game is that the wood looks the same as it did when it was broken.
Levi tried to break another piece of wood, but found that this piece of log took up one more slot in the backpack and could not be stacked at all.
Because there are differences between the two pieces of wood.
The solution is…
"Unlocked crafting recipe: Standard Oak."
After a while, the big tree that fell on the ground disappeared, and was replaced by several pieces of "standard oak" stacked in the backpack, as well as a pile of sticks and leaves.
【Achievement: "Standardization!"】
"I see."
Watching the achievement pop up, Levi realized something.
Just as there are no two snowflakes that are exactly alike, things that are knocked off cannot be stacked directly in a backpack because of their different shapes, sizes, and specific structures.
But after the synthesis process, they can be turned into exactly the same raw materials, so they can be stacked and stored in the backpack.
For example, if Levi knocked down a tree log, he only needed to put it in the four-grid synthesis column that came with his backpack to "standardize" it and turn it into the "log" he was familiar with.
After having a clear idea in his mind, Li Wei immediately continued to work, knocking on wood and collecting materials.
As the materials in the backpack increase, more synthesis formulas are unlocked.
First the workbench, then the wooden pickaxe.
Click, Levi knocked on the ground under his feet and started digging like a real man, digging vertically on the spot.
After a long time, when Levi crawled out of the ground, his backpack had already collected a set of stone tools, achieving the "Stone Age" achievement. He also made a few furnaces and burned some charcoal to make torches.
There is no way. Reality is not like MC. You can't just find mines anywhere. You can only burn some charcoal first.
After some trouble, with a ding sound, Levi's level reached level one.
There were no noticeable changes.
If I find diamonds and obsidian in the future, I can try to synthesize an enchantment table and see...
It was getting late now.
Looking up, I see stars everywhere, with a crescent moon among them.
“It’s so beautiful.”
It was almost time to go back, as Bilbo was still waiting for him to make a midnight snack.
