Chapter 133 Armor Blueprints
The knife fish walks on the shore, unlike the crucian carp of yesterday; it hops forward.
Although the giant knife fish jumps quite far with each leap, it's still a bit slow for Li Sijing at her current speed.
Avoiding the pectoral fins swung by the knife fish in advance, Li Sijing didn't intend to waste time and quickly slashed at the fish's tail at her feet with her Tang sword.
Compared to the entire fish body, the already somewhat slender tail was suddenly cut open with a large wound.
The giant knife fish, like a person tripped over its feet, fell heavily to the ground.
Although the wound on its tail was not small, it did not sever the tailbone. The big knife fish stubbornly struggled on the ground, trying to stand up again.
Li Sijing raised her Tang sword and, with another blow to the injured area on the tail, severed the entire fish tail off.
This is almost impossible to happen with crucian carp; indeed, the bones of the knife fish are much finer in comparison.
The fight ended so quickly, less than five minutes after she got out of the car, which surprised Li Sijing herself.
However, she was also well aware that her rapid progress today was due to her own improvement in strength.
Most importantly, the knife fish's weaknesses are too obvious once it comes ashore, which gives her an opportunity to exploit it.
If she were to encounter ferocious fish like blackfish later on, she wouldn't be as relaxed as she was today.
Therefore, she would not underestimate small wild animals just because of one moment of ease; it was always better to be more cautious in everything she did.
The Tang sword struck the fish's head, ending the fish's brief appearance.
[Congratulations to the player for killing the small wild beast, the knife fish, and obtaining one knife fish weighing 300g.]
As the survival game prompted, the two-meter-long knife fish in front of them shrank countless times in an instant.
In the end, it became a slender knife fish, 40 centimeters long and no wider than a palm.
Li Sijing was dumbfounded when she didn't get any follow-up. So, after killing a small wild animal, all she got was a knife fish? Nothing else?
I even got a fish fin needle when I was killing crucian carp yesterday!
However, thinking about how easy today's battle was, Li Sijing felt that she shouldn't be too greedy.
I squatted down and picked up the knife fish. Like the crucian carp from yesterday, it had already been scaled, gutted, and cleaned very well.
With a flick of his hand, he directly stored it in his spatial storage, then picked up the intermediate resource box next to him and returned to the car.
It's already six o'clock, and there's still an hour until it gets dark.
Now that she had encountered the intermediate resource box, Li Sijing decided to stop here and not continue on her original plan.
After getting on the bus, Li Sijing first opened the intermediate resource box, wondering what blueprints she would get today.
【Millet Rice Crackers 25g】
[Metal javelin blueprint, disposable armor crafting blueprint, 1 thermos, 2 x 30g hard-boiled eggs, 10 x 20g instant noodles]
The first thing Li Sijing noticed was the armor blueprints, which she had been longing for for a long time.
In the last century, Li Sijing had been acquiring armor blueprints.
When nothing came of it, she tried to find a manufacturer, but so far, no matter what kind of purchase she made, there has been no response.
She had always suspected that someone in the area had obtained such blueprints, and that they were kept hidden for too long.
She was about to give up when, unexpectedly, this blueprint appeared in her hands, truly a stroke of good luck.
[One-time Armor Crafting: Using basic materials, ordinary armor can be crafted. Adding special materials can create armor with special attributes. It can only be crafted once.]
Materials required for manufacturing: 10 pieces of cloth, 2 pieces of rubber, and 3 pieces of metal.
After carefully reviewing the information on the blueprint, Li Sijing finally understood why no one in the region was willing to process her work, even when she offered a high price.
It turns out that armor blueprints are one-time use only, and can only be made once, just like car parts blueprints!
Although it could only be made once, Li Sijing was quite satisfied, at least she could get her armor sorted out.
Reluctantly closing the armor blueprint information, she still had resources to check before crafting the armor.
[Metal Javelin: The javelin weighs 500g, is 198cm long, and can be used for hunting.]
Materials required for manufacturing: 10 metals, 2 rubbers, 2 plastics
For Li Sijing, who already possesses a Tang sword, this javelin may not be of much use.
That javelin is taller than her. Without experience using javelins, it would be quite difficult to hunt wild animals with this weapon.
However, looking at the blueprint, Li Sijing suddenly thought of a harpoon.
If we use this javelin as a harpoon to shoot fish, it seems like that would be acceptable, right?
After the idea popped into her head, Li Sijing did some mental calculations and finally concluded that it was entirely feasible.
Although it may not be very easy for the average person to operate, it is still a viable method for hunting fish in the water without going into the water.
However, using this javelin as a harpoon has a serious drawback besides the handling issues: it cannot be retrieved.
Once a javelin is thrown, it hits the water directly, meaning it cannot be reused unless a rope is tied to it.
Even Liu Yizhou couldn't acquire any ropes, so how could she guarantee that everyone else would have one?
So, while her idea was good, it was ultimately useless unless she got another rope blueprint.
After figuring it out, Li Sijing was speechless. Where was she going to find rope blueprints now? She immediately lost interest in the javelin blueprints.
Unless she or someone else can produce a rope blueprint in the next few days, this javelin blueprint will have to be kept at the bottom of the box.
Shaking her head with some regret, Li Sijing closed the manufacturing page and continued looking at other resources.
A thermos brought some comfort to Li Sijing's wounded heart.
This was an item she had wanted for a long time, and it actually appeared in the last resource box of the day.
With this thermos, she will never waste hot water boiled with gasoline again.
She had finished the hot water she had in her thermos, so now she was just about to boil a kettle of water.
The remaining food also brought Li Sijing a pleasant surprise.
A bag of millet rice crackers, a taste of childhood; two braised eggs are also good; and finally, there are 10 small bags of palm-sized crispy noodles.
Although each packet of instant noodles is only the size of a palm, these snacks together are enough to make her half full.
The millet rice crackers and braised eggs were placed in the storage compartments that had just been cleared out, and they were immediately filled up again.
As for the palm-sized instant noodles, they've been moved to the shelf.
By this time, the water had boiled. After rinsing the thermos, Li Sijing poured the water from the kettle into it.
After packing everything up, Li Sijing prepared to take a look at how to make the armor, as she had saved up quite a few special materials!
