Chapter 18: Cutting Down Trees, Earning Another Title
Having the chainsaw blueprints makes things much easier.
Having successfully synthesized the chainsaw, Shen Jue held it, looked at the large tree in front of him, and smiled.
You little brat, watch me take you down quickly.
Pull the spool, and the chainsaw teeth start moving.
Buzz buzz buzz!
The previously sturdy tree was slowly cut by the chainsaw, from one end to the other, in just 5 minutes.
With a gentle touch, the tree breaks apart.
"Decompose the tree to obtain 20 tree wood and one piece of tree resin."
The wood from the decomposition of the trees is harder and more durable than the wood collected from the wooden boxes. There are countless trees in this area, so it's feasible for her to collect some of the wood.
(The resources here are renewable; once you leave, the island will revert to its original state.)
After receiving the prompt, Shen Jue knew that the resources here would be restored.
She plans to cut down enough trees here before exploring other areas.
Due to time constraints, she didn't plan to sleep during those 24 hours; she wanted to dedicate herself to exploring the island as much as possible.
It's 9:30 AM now, and 4.5 hours should be enough to collect 1000 pieces of wood.
Time passed by, minute by minute, until 2 PM.
Shen Jue finished cutting down the last tree.
"Break down the tree, and you have obtained 50 tree timbers and one unit of resin."
"Tree acquisition progress 30%, personal achievement obtained, junior lumberjack, reward one attribute point."
When the time came, due to the varying amounts of wood produced by the tree's decomposition, she not only exceeded her target but also collected over 3,000 pieces of wood.
That's great! When we get back, we can upgrade her yard and replace it with sturdier tree timber so it won't get damaged.
As for the achievement, it was a complete surprise. Shen Jue added those attribute points to his physique.
He then put away the chainsaw and took out a wooden stick and a short knife.
Keep moving forward; time waits for no one. Dig faster, leave sooner.
Shen Jue always felt unsafe here, but perhaps because of her high luck, she had never encountered any danger.
After leaving the forest, Shen Jue walked and walked until she came to a valley.
The entrance to the valley cave is hidden by vines, and you really can't see it unless you look carefully when you pass by.
Shen Jue was able to discover this valley because he used the wooden stick in his hand to probe the way and passed through it.
This was something Shen Jue hadn't expected. Since he was already here, how could he not go in and take a look?
Shen Jue entered the valley, and the things inside were beyond her comprehension. She saw many trees and plants that she did not recognize.
When we reached the valley, we saw fruit trees growing there, laden with purple fruit.
Is this fruit edible?
Shen Jue wasn't quite sure. In the wild, especially on islands, many things are poisonous. If safety cannot be guaranteed, doing nothing is the best option.
She is human, and humans can make mistakes in judgment. This valley is so big, and this orchard looks so strange.
Hoping the fruit tree was non-toxic, just as Shen Jue was about to cut it down, a fruit suddenly fell from the tree and hit her on the head.
She looked up and saw an adorable squirrel perched on the tree trunk; it was the squirrel that had thrown the purple fruit earlier.
Perhaps sensing Shen Jue's intentions and not wanting him to cut down the fruit trees, it appeared to remind him.
The gray and white squirrel dropped another purple fruit, which this time landed right at her feet.
Shen Jue squatted down and picked up the two fruits.
She instantly learned the name of the fruit: the Purple Fall Fruit, which could quench thirst, but she didn't know if it had any other effects.
Knowing how useful this fruit is, Shen Jue plans to pick some, but she can't climb trees. What should she do?
Watching the squirrels leaping in the trees, Shen Jue had a bold idea.
