Chapter 37 Production and Exploration
"Want to go outside and chop down some trees?"
In the Demon King's magic workshop, Luo Yan stopped what he was doing and cast a surprised look at the skeleton in front of him.
Facing the inquiring look from the Demon King, Jingluo Nanbei nodded slightly respectfully and spoke politely.
"Yes, respected Demon Lord, your servants are lacking in equipment, not just weapons. They also need backpacks and bandages... and many, many other things. These additional equipment will help them improve their efficiency in exploring the labyrinth."
After a pause, Whale Fall continued.
"As your most loyal servant, I want to share your worries in this matter."
Luo Yan nodded, his eyes unconsciously falling on Xiao Wan, who was tied up like a dumpling in spider silk.
I see.
Did you get inspiration from this guy?
Since skeletons do not require consumption and their upkeep is entirely dependent on faith expenditures, the cemetery has always had the problem of weak market demand, making it difficult to start production activities.
It would be a good idea to develop the textile industry.
But the prerequisite is that someone has to know how to do it.
"Your idea is good, but can you weave? That's no easier than fighting monsters."
Whale Luonanbei said with a smile.
"There are always more solutions than problems. I have looked up some drawings and materials, such as the early Jenny machine. It won't be difficult to restore it. As long as you give us a little support, we will never let you down."
That’s true.
These players can go online, and even if they don’t know how to do it, it’s not a problem for them to find a few craftsmen on DouX or BIBI to copy them. And even if they fail, it seems that there is no loss to them.
"Okay."
Although he did not want to expose the existence of the cemetery too early out of caution, he could not stay in the mine forever.
Let's start from today and make progress day by day! "There is a forest to the north of the North Wind Mine. The monsters there are not interested in skeletons. You can go there to get wood, but remember not to go south, especially try to avoid encountering humans. If fighting is unavoidable, take prisoners if possible."
"Understood!" Without waiting for Whale Fall to speak, Shark Fall, who was traveling with him, clenched his fist excitedly.
After a pause, Luo Yan continued.
"Also, the mine needs some wood to strengthen the load-bearing structure of the newly excavated area. Since you brought this up, let's solve it together."
"I will issue a call to recruit carpenters in a moment. If there are skeletons in the cemetery who are good at carpentry, they may be able to provide you with some help."
As soon as he finished speaking, Youyou also released the tasks of "collecting wood" and "recruiting carpenters" at the same time.
Not many players have axes.
As long as you accept the task of collecting wood, you can get an axe and obtain permission to go out.
certainly.
The mission also specifically reminds players to stay within the designated area.
If you die outside the designated area, there will be an additional contribution value penalty.
And after being resurrected, he has to pick up the borrowed axe himself.
"Ah! Thank you so much!" This time, not only Shark Falls, but even Whale Falls' eyes lit up with excitement.
It turns out that NPC missions can be triggered by helping the Demon King! ? This is an incredible discovery!
After thanking, the three skeletons went outside excitedly to ask the cat girl for the logging axe and the saw for cutting wood.
Soon after Youyou released the task of recruiting carpenters, a player signed up.
It looks like it's settled.
"...Using the spider silk of crypt spiders to make backpacks and bandages, I didn't expect these players to have such wild imaginations." Watching the three skeletons in the mirror disappear into the depths of the mine, Luo Yan showed a happy smile on his face.
Not only did the leeks start moving on their own, they also grew into shapes he had never imagined.
very nice.
"Master Demon, I'm a little curious. Has no one in Hell ever thought of using the silk of crypt spiders to weave cloth?"
Hearing Youyou's curious question, Luo Yan explained casually.
"That's hell. Do you know how hot it is there?"
Youyou: "But... the place you're staying seems to be okay?"
"The Demon City is the Demon City." Luo Yan said casually, "Once you leave the Demon City, you must be careful at all times."
In fact, it’s more than that.
Although the silk of burrow spiders is excellent in terms of toughness and material strength, even far exceeding ordinary fibers, and has excellent hydrophobicity...but the troublesome thing is that its stickiness and elasticity are indeed a bit too great.
As a result, the material is not easy to weave or collect.
Therefore, although the ideas that the players came up with are good, to be honest, they are still a bit taken for granted.
but--
It's not a big deal.
Especially for the top students in Demon King Academy, it would only take a few minutes to solve the problem.
Long ago, someone in Hell had studied the use of crypt spider silk to weave yarn, and even figured out a magic potion formula that could "make crypt spider silk lose excess elasticity and stickiness while retaining its strength"!
It’s a pity that this hydrophobic but heat-resistant material is of no use in the hell of “no rain but sparks”.
Since Hell and the surface have always been at war, the most they do is smuggle precious metals between them, and there is no large-scale trade. Therefore, this unpopular formula has no place to be used.
Luo Yan happened to have learned about this unpopular recipe in the library of Demon King Academy before.
Although he could no longer remember the specific proportions, he still remembered the materials needed to prepare the potion, and most of them could be collected directly from crypt spiders.
It would not be difficult for him to restore the formula of the potion. He just needed to add a little bit when reeling the silk.
While thinking this, Luo Yan had already taken out the crucible and beaker for preparing the potion, and moved his shoulders vigorously.
"Well—"
"This time, I will help others for once."
…
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
On the other side, deep in the sewer corridor, two skeleton soldiers continued to explore deeper into the maze.
Along the way, they killed countless slimes and had almost no place to store the magic crystals they collected.
Fortunately, not long after, they found the body of an adventurer wrapped in slime.
The clothes on the corpse were almost completely digested, leaving only the boots, belt and waist bag that were not easy to digest.
A few pieces of slime that looked like rice cakes were squirming on its body elastically, as if it was being chewed.
After getting rid of the slime, Yiye Zhiqiu recovered the belt and leather waist bag from the adventurer's body.
There were some personal belongings and some copper coins in the waist bag.
After returning the personal belongings to their original owners, the two put the collected magic crystals into their pockets, finally freeing the hands of the Hu Wan brothers.
Out of curiosity, Yiye Zhiqiu squatted beside the corpse and observed his condition carefully.
Although the tissues in this person's body were almost completely decomposed by the green slime and their original shapes could no longer be seen, he still saw a clue from the undigested bones.
"The bone is cut," Yiye Zhiqiu said while feeling the fracture on the ribs, suppressing his excitement, "This injury... doesn't look like it was caused by a slime!"
really--
His guess was correct!
There are other monsters hiding in the sewer corridors!
"It looks a bit like the claws of a wild animal..." Hu Wan also observed it and looked at Yi Ye Zhi Qiu solemnly, "What do you think it is?"
"The only creatures with claws in the sewers are probably geckos... or some other imaginary creatures."
This thing should be stronger than the crypt spider!
After realizing this, Yiye Zhiqiu did not feel any fear at all, but became excited instead.
I wonder how much experience these guys can provide! While thinking this, his right hand explored along the adventurer's body all the way up, and finally stopped at the back of the neck.
"This is... a magic crystal?!"
Looking at the crystal that Yiye Zhiqiu pulled out from the corpse, Hu Wan widened his eyes in surprise.
Can humans also drop magic crystals? !
"Well... that's how it looks at the moment."
Looking at the dark green crystal in his hand, Yiye Zhiqiu's face was filled with contemplation.
For some reason, he remembered a passage he had read on the official forum of "Catastrophe OL", which roughly said that since the death of the God of the Underworld, the death and reincarnation of all things are no longer equal.
So in this game world, where do people go after they die?
Or will it go nowhere and become the same as itself...
Taking into account the particularity of supernatural powers.
He always felt terrified when he thought about it.
Behind that myth, there might be information and clues that he hadn't read...
dark place.
A pair of amber pupils were staring at the two skeletons intently, and the forked tongue was stretching and retracting at the mouth, swinging flexibly.
The Necromancer's servant? Here? After weighing the pros and cons for a long time, the reptile crawling in the shadows finally decided not to make a move. Instead, it turned around and slowly retreated into the depths of the shadows.
His mission was to hunt adventurers, and these skeletons were not on his menu.
The maze is now in a precarious situation, and they must be vigilant to any slight disturbance...even though their Earth Dragon Clan has become the overlord of the first level of the maze with absolute advantage.
In addition, the previous rat tide seems to be inextricably linked to the appearance of these undead.
It can scare the ratmen clan who summoned the Chosen One and make them flee in all directions...
Perhaps they should be more cautious about the guy standing behind these undead.
