It seems he succeeded in the deal! Xi Xi nodded in satisfaction, studied it carefully, and then looked at the Lingchi Coffee in her hand.
Just as she expected, Lingchi coffee beans were indeed related to Lingchi stone!
Li Jinshao sent a photo of orange-red cinnabar, its luster as dazzling as a raging fire. Xi Xi was absolutely certain she had never encountered such a mineral before; with such a vibrant color, she couldn't possibly have missed it.
According to Li Jinshao, the Lingchi Stone appears in arid, deep caves where the temperature is generally high.
Hiss... Xi Xi sighed and recalled for a moment, feeling that she seemed to have a stronger affinity with water.
She encountered either water-filled caves or stagnant rock caves... The only one that wasn't too damp contained a disgusting, dead worm...
No wonder she only encountered azure stones found in the shallow, damp areas of caves...
Not only that, Li Jinshao also told Xi Xi how to grow Lingchi coffee beans - just bury Lingchi stone in the soil and red plants will grow. These plants are shade-loving and drought-tolerant, and do not need much light. They only need to be watered once every half month.
Xi Xi nodded, glanced at the miniature planting pot beside her, and continued reading thoughtfully.
Li Jinshao : "Although the planting method sounds easy, the processing of fresh coffee beans is very troublesome."
Li Jinshao's "Great Fortune": "According to the original world's methods of processing coffee beans, in addition to ordinary sun-drying and washing, anaerobic treatment, lactic acid fermentation, and barrel fermentation are also necessary."
Li Jinshao : "I think it takes too long and is too troublesome, especially the high initial production costs, so it's not worth it..."
Anaerobic treatment, lactic acid fermentation, barrel fermentation?
"That's easy!" Xi Xi looked at her "Yamato Urashima Taro's Jade Box".
And look, she has the tools right there! One fermentation method each day, and she can have a cup of coffee in every flavor imaginable!
Oh my god, I really need to open a coffee shop right away!
Xi Xi's eyes lit up immediately; she sensed a brilliant business opportunity! This lucrative opportunity... no, this profession was perfect for her! It was a perfect storm of timing, location, and people!
Xi Xi (Ji): "Do you know the specific effects of Lingchi Coffee?" Xi Xi asked while the iron was hot, after all, the item's hints were rather perfunctory.
Li Jinshao : "Emmmm, although I don't have Lingchi Coffee on hand, I can roughly guess what it is."
Li Jinshao : "You should know that the game's mechanics are that you must go to sleep before 6 a.m. every day and sleep for a full 4 hours to fully restore your stamina."
Li Jinshao : "Lingchi coffee, as the name suggests, can refresh the mind and shorten sleep time. In other words, you don't need to sleep for 4 hours to recover your energy level the next day."
Holy crap! Xi Xi was stunned. So this coffee was a "grind king" artifact, perfect for hardcore gamers!
Nevertheless, Xi Xi still couldn't quite grasp this intense grind mechanism, after all, this wasn't a simple RPG game from the original world, but a real survival game!
Ultimately, it's your own body. What if you get sick from lack of sleep every day and can't even find a proper doctor?
However, when rushing through dungeons and vying for kills, Xi Xi found that the coffee was quite useful!
After all, the production cost is there, so it's bound to sell for a good price!
She even considered uprooting the mandarin orange seedlings in the miniature planting pot and planting a Lingchi stone right now, but unfortunately, she didn't have any Lingchi stones at all! Sigh…
Xi Xi (Ji): "Will you sell Lingchi Stone? I'll buy one from you." Xi Xi couldn't help but have designs on Li Jinshao.
Li Jinshao : "..."
Li Jinshao (Great Fortune): "I have to decline. This is the only area I'm interested in, and I'd like to study it further."
Well… Xi Xi sighed with some regret.
In fact, Li Jinshao had obtained this Lingchi Stone with great difficulty.
This pyrolith was not formed in a natural cave.
While observing the geology of the canyon, he used a pickaxe to carve a path through the hard rock wall in order to collect sand and gravel samples. As a result, he unexpectedly discovered this mine.
Li Jinshao (Great Fortune): "By the way, do you still have any stone pickaxes? I noticed you haven't had any new items in your shop lately. My pickaxe is broken again, I need a new one."
Xi Xi was taken aback. What was this guy doing in the survival game? How could he discard drafts so quickly?
Unfortunately, Xi Xi had been bored while on vacation in the Mirage instance, so she crafted a bunch of tools and weapons and put them up for trading, which used up most of her resources.
She's saving the remaining wood and stone to upgrade her workbench; she can't touch them yet.
Xi Xi glanced at her trading page and saw that the stone pickaxe was selling very well, being the first to sell out among all the weapons and tools!
She pondered for a moment and realized that more and more people were encountering the Blue Stone in the tunnel.
However, she's not the only one with a basic tool bench; why should Li Jinshao fixate on her alone...
Xi Xi vaguely remembers that as water consumption increased in desert areas, many people unlocked plastic scraps, and tool tables were no longer a secret.
However, hardwood and metal scraps for upgrading the workbench are still scarce resources. Even Xi Xi is missing a piece of hardwood, which has caused the upgrade of the workbench to stall.
Xi Xi (Ji): "I'm out of materials, so I can't make it for now. You can buy it from another store."
Li Jinshao (Great Fortune): "Ah, alright..."
Li Jinshao : "Actually, I've bought from other stores, but I always feel that none of them are as good as the ones you use."
Xi Xi (Ji): "?" What difference could there be? She doesn't have any weapon-optimizing cheat codes...
Li Jinshao : "We geologists believe in feng shui. I feel that the feng shui of your shop is very favorable to me. When I use your manuscripts, I always manage to dig up good things."
...Well, she's honored. Can she collect a lucky tax?
After her conversation with Li Jinshao, Xi Xi decisively turned off the light screen. Just as she was regaining her composure, Chu Zhiqin's voice called from outside the window.
Xi Xi was startled and quickly looked in the direction of the sound.
