"So many! This is too much!"
The cave was full of coal that was broken up by his beloved concubine when she was digging. Xu Xin immediately collected the coal.
[Obtain coal*367]
Wow, it’s only been a short time since we started digging, and we’ve already found so much!
Xu Xin took out his pickaxe and swung it down. "Crack!" The coal ore shattered on the ground, and more than a dozen coal lumps scattered.
It’s settled, the coal shipment is huge, with this coal mine, he can make steel!
One steel fire requires 25 pieces of coal and 1kg of mutant vine juice. He originally thought that it would consume a lot of materials and might not be able to be mass-produced. Unexpectedly, the coal output was so ridiculously large!
Moreover, he doesn't need to do it himself. His beloved concubine can produce hundreds or thousands of pieces of coal by digging for just half a minute!
As for the mutant vine juice, he still had a lot of it. Although he gave them some of the blood-thorn vines last time, there was still a lot left. If he collected all the juice, it would not be a problem to get a few hundred kilograms.
"My beloved, dig a little more!" Xu Xin instructed his beloved.
The beloved continued to swing its sharp claws to mine the coal in the cave. Soon, the amount of coal in Xu Xin's hands reached 1,000 pieces.
"Okay, oh, by the way, make the hole wider, otherwise I'll have to climb up and down every time." Although the one-meter diameter hole was large enough for my beloved concubine to go up and down, it was still too small for him, who was standing and walking. This was a mine he would come to frequently in the future, so of course it had to be better.
After widening the cave entrance, Xu Xin walked out. His scales had turned pitch black.
Coco, who had been lying at the entrance of the cave looking inside, saw Xu Xin, dressed in black, coming out. She was stunned for two seconds, then covered her mouth with her little paws, as if she was laughing.
"You little brat!" Xu Xin lifted Keke onto his shoulders in a grouchy voice. "Look at yourself! There's not a single spot on your body that's not black!"
"Ying!" When Coco heard what Xu Xin said, it immediately shook its body, and the black powder scattered, and its hair immediately became shiny and bright again.
I really envy Coco's ability to stay clean without taking a shower.
Carrying thousands of pieces of coal, Xu Xin quickly returned to the treehouse. He didn't rush to refine the steel fire, but instead went to the lake to cleanse himself. His beloved wife also rolled in the mud by the lake, washing the black ash off her body in the unique pangolin way.
Standing in the shallow water by the lake, looking at the deep and tranquil center of the lake, Xu Xin was considering whether to go down and take a look.
His ability to withstand pressure has improved now, and he should be able to collect the green ore at a depth of forty meters.
"Hmm!" Coco suddenly cried out by the lake, sounding a little anxious.
...Is there danger in the center of the lake?
Xu Xin's pupils shrank, and he stepped out of the lake. He asked Ke Ke, who was standing by the lake, "Is there any danger in the lake?"
"Hmm!" Coco nodded very affirmatively.
After receiving Coco's affirmative response, he checked the map. There wasn't a single red dot. It looked like it was most likely the giant anaconda in the center of the lake. Could it be that after the second phase, the giant anaconda would return?
That shouldn't be the case... Even if we can work as a team in the second stage, it's a bit exaggerated to deal with a giant anaconda that is extremely huge and can dive into the water. This guy can only be dealt with by large-scale thermal weapons!
In short, it is temporarily impossible to dive into the center of the lake.
After taking a final look at the lake center, which seemed calm but was actually fraught with danger, Xu Xin turned and left.
Back in the tree house, Coco went to have a "weepy" conversation with Silver King Mimi, while Xu Xin went to the alchemy room again, clicked on the production list of the alchemy synthesis table, and found Steel Fire.
[Steel Fire: Adding this to a furnace along with refined iron blocks will produce steel blocks of the same grade. Requires 1kg of Mutated Vine Sap and 25g of Coal]
He immediately clicked to refine.
Although it was called "Steelfire," it wasn't actually fire, but a black, viscous liquid somewhat similar to the universal alchemical material. He filled a reagent bottle, and a bottle of Steelfire was ready. Next, he simply poured it into the furnace along with the iron to create steel!
Xu Xin came to the furnace, put a piece of iron in, poured in steel fire, and finally put a few pieces of coal at the bottom of the furnace. The introduction of coal said that it could improve the efficiency of the furnace.
[Smelting: Steel block. Remaining smelting time: 50 minutes.]
Huh? 50 minutes?!
This steelmaking time is too long! This is after using coal to improve the efficiency of the furnace. Normally, it wouldn't take an hour to make one piece...
No, smelting wasn't his strong point. This kind of thing should be left to Li Wenxi. She had many furnaces and an amplified smelting chamber, and her speed was many times faster than his.
Xu Xin went to the alchemy room to refine a few batches of steel fire, and then directly initiated a transaction with Li Wenxi.
Within two seconds, the transaction was accepted, and at the same time, Li Wenxi's video call came directly.
After Xu Xin answered the call, he found that she was outside the tree house, riding on the back of a cow, wearing a tight leather armor, looking heroic.
He suddenly remembered that Li Wenxi had given Wang Lei his blue-level armor during the last event.
"Aniu, let's go back. We're not going any further. Let's go back to the tree house! Ah, Xu Xin, how did you find the materials for making steel?" Li Wenxi, who was urging the cow under him to go back, saw Xu Xin answering the video and immediately asked with some excitement.
"Well... I gained an ability, alchemy." Xu Xin decided not to hide it from her. Not only would he not hide it from her, he also didn't plan to hide it from the other people in the [Explorers].
