Chapter 16: The First Hot Meal



Xu Xin looked at the discussions in the regional channel. A person named Ji Chaoyang was very active and would send everyone some practical strategies. He was quite popular in the entire channel.

"The novice protection period is almost over, but this tree house can't make weapons. Do I need to build a crafting table to make weapons?"

"That should be it? Is there any big guy who made a synthesis platform? Sell some weapons!"

Ji Chaoyang: "I have made a synthesis table. There is no weapon making inside, only some advanced tool tables and daily necessities."

"Oh?" Xu Xin raised an eyebrow. Sure enough, besides him, there were other lucky individuals who had managed to create a synthesis table requiring 100 green materials during the novice protection period. After all, these three days were just for novices to plant their tree houses, and the surrounding resources were relatively limited. Obtaining 100 green materials was definitely a very difficult task. Even someone like him, who possessed the ability to identify, had to cooperate with others to collect two green materials.

He also looked for the crafting blueprints on the synthesis table, but there were indeed no weapons. The thing that looked most like a weapon was the stone axe that could be made without a synthesis table. He didn't know how much use the stone axe would have against the impending danger.

Thinking that his stone axe was broken, he directly used a piece of blue stone and a piece of blue wood, combined with green materials, to make his second stone axe.

[Excellent Stone Axe (Blue): Can be used to cut down trees of purple rank and below. Because it contains higher-grade stone and wood, it becomes tougher and sharper. Durability: 1000]

A blue stone axe with 1000 durability could even chop down purple trees. Xu Xin nodded in satisfaction. This thing should last a long time. This axe couldn't even chop down his tree house, could it? According to the tree house's rank, it was indeed made of purple-grade trees.

Xu Xin resisted the urge to try chopping with an axe and continued to watch the regional channel.

The survivor named Ji Chaoyang has begun to reveal the contents of the synthesis table while being surrounded by many people.

"Furnaces, fireplaces, torches, grills, and backpacks are all craftable."

"Boss, you must have a lot of materials. Please help us!"

"Yes, we must unite and help each other to overcome the difficulties we are facing!"

“Shouldn’t resources be distributed evenly?”

Xu Xin didn't read any further and shook his head with a sneer. He knew that in this kind of environment, moral kidnapping was absolutely everywhere. Now that the novice protection period had not yet passed and the danger was still unknown, he didn't want to fall into this situation.

Ji Chaoyang didn't say anything else, and it seemed that he didn't want to pay any attention to this group of people.

Soon, half an hour passed. I went down to the second floor, took out the freshly baked iron block (blue) from the furnace, and threw all the remaining iron ore into it.

[Iron Block (Blue): An iron block that has been essentially free of impurities. Using one when crafting iron tools can improve the tool's grade.]

As Xu Xin expected, the uses of iron (blue) are similar to those of wood (blue) and stone (blue).

It takes three iron blocks to make a grill. He immediately used two iron blocks (green) and one iron block (blue) to make the grill he had been thinking about for a long time.

[Grill (Blue): A high-level grill that can grill food to perfection, making it more delicious while also slightly increasing the effectiveness of the food ingredients.]

Without further ado, Xu Xin placed a few pieces of white wood on the grill and began to grill the shiitake mushrooms (blue), king oyster mushrooms, and wood ear mushrooms he had previously obtained. The unique aroma of the shiitake mushrooms filled the air, and they were cooked in no time.

The flame under the grill automatically shuts off after the mushrooms are cooked, which makes Xu Xin raise an eyebrow. This function is really convenient, and it makes him, a person who always finds his grilled mushrooms are either half-cooked or emit black smoke, very satisfied.

Xu Xin found the bowls and chopsticks for eating in the list. He made them with the lowest-grade white wood. Although he also had blue wood, it was a bit extravagant to use blue for the bowls and chopsticks. He decided to use the lowest-grade tableware for the time being.

With the help of the blue grill, the grilled mushrooms fully released the aroma of mushrooms. Combined with the king oyster mushrooms and black fungus, although there was no salt or seasoning to sprinkle, Xu Xin still ate it with relish. After all, he had only eaten apples, oranges and berries in the past two days and had not had a hot meal for a long time.

Twenty or so mushrooms were quickly devoured, and Xu Xin licked his tongue with a satisfied look. He remembered that the function of these mushrooms seemed to be to permanently increase intelligence by a small amount, right?

With the grill and the dining table, the mushrooms' benefits should have been amplified, but he didn't seem to notice any difference. Perhaps the increased intelligence was manifesting elsewhere? Or was the increase too small for him to notice?

Shaking his head, Xu Xin didn't think about it for the time being. He didn't have a panel to view his intelligence, physical strength, and power, so he couldn't tell how much it had increased. But it didn't matter, as long as it tasted good.

After eating mushrooms, Xu Xin planned to go out again. There were still two hours until midnight, so he could go to the lake and bring back some reeds and lotus roots. After all, once the novice period was over, the lake might become more dangerous.

By the way, he might catch some fish and grill them if possible. He was still a little unsatisfied with the mushrooms he had just eaten.

The three-hour night vision buff still had some time left, so Xu Xin hurried down from the tree house and tiptoed to the lake. The water was crystal clear under the moonlight, and the fish in the water were not only clearly visible, but also emitted a hazy green light, allowing Xu Xin to see their location at a glance. However, without fishing gear, catching fish was no easy task.
