The cave behind the hidden waterfall should have been dark and damp, but this cave was not.
Sunlight streamed in from above, striking the front of the cave entrance. She could clearly see the path of the rays as they pierced down.
With the occasional water droplets drifting by, a colorful little rainbow appeared in mid-air.
What's even more amazing is that the surrounding walls are not made of mud or gray stone, but are made of a kind of shimmering crystal.
The crystal was composed of white and light blue, and was transparent and translucent throughout. Gu Xi raised her hand and tried to touch it.
[Game Hint: Aquamarine ore discovered.]
Aquamarine mineral?
Gu Xi recognized the name; wasn't it a hard material obtained through a trade with Lorraine?
She clearly remembered that the color of aquamarine was a cornflower blue, but why was this color white and light blue?
Gu Xi opened the game manual and started looking it up.
It turns out that aquamarine is just a type of mineral, with various colors ranging from white to dark blue.
Although it can be used as a hard material, if it is calcined at high temperatures to burn off impurities, it will form another more advanced hard material, aquamarine.
As for the effects of aquamarine, the game allows players to discover them on their own.
After getting a general understanding of the aquamarine mine, she glanced at the time; it was already 3:30 PM.
It takes about an hour to get back to the ship from the cave.
That is to say, she spent less than 90 minutes exploring.
Gu Xi closed the light screen and glanced into the depths of the cave.
This cave is very deep; exploring it would take quite a bit of effort. It would be better to mine here than to venture deeper into the cave.
Having made up his mind, Gu Xi took out a pickaxe and smashed it against the wall.
With a clang, the pickaxe struck the wall, sparks flying.
[Game Tip: Mining aquamarine ore with a pickaxe is too inefficient.]
Upon hearing the notification, Gu Xiding glanced at the sample and, sure enough, the mining progress was only 0.5%.
But she has no other materials to make a pickaxe.
Gu Xi: Are we going to give up and wait until tomorrow to start mining?
Gu Xi shook her head. She had limited time on the island today, and she couldn't let the matter be put on hold.
After hesitating for two seconds, Gu Xi opened the friends channel, found Lorraine's profile picture, and sent her a message.
Gu Xi: Lend me five shark teeth, I'll return them to you tonight.
The message was sent, and within ten seconds, the other party had already sent over the shark tooth.
Gu Xi chuckled. She thought she would have to use a lot of persuasion, but who would have thought that the other party would send the materials directly without asking a single question.
It seems that Lorraine is a very good person.
In a good mood, Gu Xi replied: Thank you!
With the materials in hand, she quickly used five shark teeth to craft a new pickaxe.
Unlike weapons, which have various stats, pickaxes only have durability stats.
Gu Xi held the newly forged pickaxe in the air and waved it around a couple of times, finding that apart from being more aesthetically pleasing, the shark tooth pickaxe wasn't much different in appearance from an iron pickaxe.
She raised her pickaxe and struck the aquamarine ore with a clang.
The sound of the shark tooth colliding with the aquamarine ore was crisper than that of the iron pickaxe, and it did not produce any sparks.
She stopped what she was doing and checked the progress of the mining operation.
Whether it was because shark teeth themselves had a sharp effect or not, with one swing of her pickaxe, the mining progress was immediately increased to 10%.
"Indeed, the right tools are essential for a good craftsman. This shark tooth pickaxe is much better than an iron pickaxe."
With the pickaxe working well, Gu Xi was able to mine very smoothly.
She banged on the wall and began to mine aquamarine crystals on a large scale.
【Aquamarine Mineral 5】
【Aquamarine Mineral 7】
【Aquamarine Mineral 3】
...
The deeper you go into the aquamarine mine, the deeper and more vibrant the color becomes.
Gu Xi's intuition told her that darker colors of aquamarine ore were better.
So Gu Xi pointed to a spot and started digging. The wall, which was originally fairly flat, was soon smashed into a large hole by her.
