Chapter 6 Counting the spoils
[Yi Ling]: "Oh my sister, I was chased by a group of squirrels and almost died."
[Qing Ben Zhi Ruo]: "What did you do? Did you kill the kid?"
Shu Ling came back home, breathing heavily, and took two gulps of mineral water to rest: "How is it possible? I just killed one of their kind."
[Qing Ben Zhiruo]: "You are the one who is so cruel..."
Shu Ling lay on the ground, closed his eyes and rested for a while, then stood up to look at the numerical panel. His satiety dropped even more, and there were only 12 points left.
Moreover, she left home at around twelve o'clock, and now it was almost four o'clock when she returned!
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but complain that time passed too quickly, and then he began to deal with his gains of the day, especially the blueprint of a portable stove.
[Get the lantern blueprint*1, do you want to learn it? 】
Shu Lingyi actually didn't really want to learn. Not to mention that he could use a simple torch instead of a lantern, and the stove in the dream that was similar to a lantern was not easy to make.
[Making lanterns is not easy, but it is very important. Students who don’t study hard are not good students! ]
Facing the line of words that suddenly appeared in front of him, Shu Ling immediately imagined the voice and tone of Xiao Ai: "Ah, this... is the lantern important?"
[Guess? If you guess right, I'll tell you.]
"If I guessed it right, do I need you to tell me...you're just talking nonsense." Shu Ling rolled his eyes and chose to study obediently.
[Lantern: An ordinary lantern that can illuminate the field of vision within a five-meter radius. Charcoal needs to be added continuously as fuel. Materials: Copper block*5, fire pine wood*10, fire crystal core*1, resin*5, wood*10. ]
After learning, a lantern symbol appeared in the upgrade tree. Shu Ling checked the materials needed to make the lantern and said nothing, silently turning off the screen.
"Excuse me, but I really can't afford this lantern right now." Shu Ling took out the other spoils. She was more looking forward to the meat of the fire-tailed squirrel and the tail that could burn!
[Fire tail: It comes from the fire-tailed squirrel. The soft and bright fur can bring you warmth and contains magical power. It is the raw material for making cold-proof clothing.]
Shu Ling took a look at the fire tail in his hand. It was bright red like a ball of flame, and it felt really comfortable and warm to the touch.
[Squirrel meat: The meat of the first-level monster fire-tailed squirrel, fresh and tender, with a good taste. Attack +3, satiety +10. ]
When the squirrel meat and fire tail were taken out, they both emitted green light, while the fire crystal core that was taken out next emitted purple light!
[Fire Crystal Core: A special fire crystal, an epic item, with its own special uses.]
"This is actually an epic item. It looks very powerful." Shu Ling played with the beautiful crystal stone and looked at the other two things in his personal space.
[Pine cones: Fruits produced by pine trees. The pine nuts contained in them are the favorite of squirrels. They are sweet and slightly warm in nature. They can be used to boil water to relieve pain and calm the nerves. ]
Shu Lingyi couldn't help but peel open a pine cone and find the pine nuts inside which were the seeds. The pine nuts were edible, so she peeled the shell and ate one directly.
"It's really good as a casual snack." She glanced at her numerical panel, but her satiety didn't show at all. Shu Ling frowned.
"Do you look down on snacks? I can fill my stomach with these!" Shu Ling expressed his dissatisfaction as he looked at his remaining 14 pine cones.
[Just think about this tiny little thing, is it worth a little feeling of fullness? ]
"..." Shu Lingyi was silent for a moment after being criticized by Xiao Ai: "What you said makes a lot of sense."
"If one isn't enough, then two, right?" So she excitedly peeled another pine nut. After eating it, she looked at the numerical panel and saw that her sense of fullness had increased a little.
"It's okay to add a few pine nuts. At worst... I'll go get some more pine cones tomorrow to stockpile." Shu Ling looked at the shelf life displayed on the box and found that squirrel meat had a shelf life of only two days.
And pine cones actually have 60 days!
"From this moment on, squirrels and I are irreconcilable!"
[Fire pine cone: The fruit of the fire pine tree. The fire pine nuts contain special power. Taking it in cold weather can help drive away the cold. Strength +1 (up to 3), satiety +2. ]
The shelf life of fire pine cones is 60 days, the same as pine nuts. Shu Ling looked at the strength +1 on it but didn't eat it immediately, wanting to put it aside for a while.
The flashing light of the fire pine cone is blue, which means it is a rare quality item. Such an item is not easy to produce, and it has the effect of dispelling cold, so you never know when it will come in handy.
Therefore, Shu Lingyi was reluctant to eat the pine cones for the time being, and stored them in the warehouse, along with pine wood of rare quality.
[Fire pine: a variant of pine, the red trunk contains the power of fire, so fire pine is not easy to burn, fire and high temperature resistant. 】
Shu Ling put all of these into the indoor warehouse, and then began to process the bamboo. Just after taking out the bamboo, he came back to his senses and looked outside.
I realized it was only 5:10 and it was already dark?!
It was not the evening or dusk, but a complete night. The dark sky was dotted with stars, hanging high in the sky.
"No... why is it dark already?" Shu Ling was confused. She paused the movements of her hands and released her life core to send a message to Luo Zhiqing.
[Yi Ling]: "Sister, is it dark over there? It's already dark over here."
As soon as Shu Ling sent the message, she checked the public screen. There were many people who asked the same question as her. It was already dark at five o'clock, which greatly reduced their time for activities.
"I just repaired the thatched hut. The stone axe is gone, and the three pieces of wood are left... How am I going to survive tomorrow?"
[Yi Ling]: "Eat the mineral water and bread sparingly. The fire must not be extinguished."
[Yi Ling]: "After dark, the monsters will come out to hunt. If there is no fire, they will definitely be eaten."
"Can't we kill these monsters? First-level monsters... Is there any chance to rush in?"
Shu Lingyi was actually thinking about this problem, and then she felt that it was not a good idea. She was able to kill the first-level fire-tailed squirrel today because of the treasure chest.
A copper axe 7 with higher attack power was opened. At the same time, it was a wounded first-level monster, so it was a good opportunity to kill it while it was weak.
If it were any other situation, she felt that she would not be able to kill a first-level monster on her own.
[So redundant]: "Don't even think about killing a first-level monster. Unless you use the tools from the treasure chest, you can't kill it."
[So Redundant]: "A monster that comes out to hunt at night will definitely not be injured, so it is extremely difficult to kill it."
