Chapter 009: Entering the Stone Age

Chen Xiyi was contemplating whether to go back and take a nap first, after all, he had not slept at all today

Chen Xiyi felt that this was a rare moment of happiness in his mining career today

The mining attributes have doubled. Chen Xiyi estimates that if mining continues, it will likely take only 5 strikes to break the soil, while it may require 10 strikes for the stone

Chen Xiyi had a head full of black lines, good heavens, one can still interact out of thin air here

Your friend: Scholar Wu Xiu spoke about you to the wealthy Wu Guan, but they did not see eye to eye. Wu Guan believes that Scholar Wu Xiu is talking nonsense, resulting in an increase of 1 in his animosity towards you. Current animosity: 0.5 stars

This Wu Guan should be Wu Xiu's father. It seems that Wu Xiu has told his father about my situation, but as a result, his father does not believe him

Additionally, the stone armor, stone helmet, stone spear, and a series of other equipment have also significantly increased their attributes

Forget it, if it really doesn't work, let's just dig for now

The resources are still insufficient, so I will go back to sleep first; otherwise, staying up all night may lead to negative consequences. Chen Xiyi, on the other hand, was not tired at all; instead, he was full of energy. After all, this was his first day in this world, and he was naturally very excited

This time he intends to dig deeper. If these wooden ladders and torches are used up and he still has not reached iron ore, coal, and other resources, then Chen Xiyi will have to find another way to inquire about information in the city to see where such resources can be found

At this hour, almost everyone is asleep

After Chen Xiyi reached the bottom, he began to dig with a pickaxe in hand

Chen Xiyi pondered for a moment and believed that sharpening the knife does not delay the work of chopping wood, as using a wooden pickaxe for mining is less efficient than using a stone pickaxe

Mining: 20

This time, it can be said that he has undergone a complete transformation, directly arriving at the Stone Age, with both tools and equipment experiencing a fundamental change

Moreover, it seemed that the situation warranted a scolding directed at him without reservation

I am not sure whether Lingqu City has city walls; if it does, I could knock off a few pieces to take with me before I leave, perhaps I might be able to obtain some stone bricks.

Durability: 30 / 30

After climbing back to the stone house and briefly washing up, Chen Xiyi glanced at the time

The reason for being here now is one thing, wanting to take a gamble is another, and naturally, the other reason is to excavate enough soil and stones

If the mining attributes are high, Chen Xiyi will be able to save a considerable amount of stamina

Today's harvest is rather disappointing, as most of the resources consist of only stones and soil, with not even a trace of iron ore or coal in sight, which has left Chen Xiyi somewhat irritated

Chen Xiyi hurriedly placed the items in his hands on the table and directly threw himself onto the bed

... ...

For Chen Xiyi, sleeping is merely a process of refreshing one's state; rest is not the focus

Let us return home for a while. The crops and animals have matured today. We will harvest a portion and take some of the soil and stones we have dug back with us. Then, we will update our equipment; using stone tools will allow us to dig faster, and stone weapons and armor are somewhat more powerful, which can better ensure my safety.

After circling the farm and ranch several times with a torch, he returned to the cabin

Wu Guan, the official: Online, Hostility Level: 0.5 stars

Then ... ...

This broken game, I tolerated it when I had a good rapport with a guy before, after all, he could be a good brother, but now he is called an enemy? What he feels is dissatisfaction, dislike, but when it comes to you, it turns into hostility

The ratio of torches to wooden ladders, as stated by Chen Xiyi, is 3 to 1, which maximizes the illumination of the entire descent passage

If I were to add another 1,200 units to the 3 × 3 mine, I estimate it would take until noon today to excavate it all

The wooden ladder has also been used up, so does this mean I have dug down three hundred units? Chen Xiyi looked at the already vanished wooden ladder and embedded the torch into the earthen wall beside him

And the subsequent 9 × 1200, which amounts to 10800 units of resources, left Chen Xiyi feeling somewhat overwhelmed

It was close, very close; I almost didn't get any sleep

Chen Xiyi opened his eyes

Oh no, it's almost the next day

He not only updated and iterated the weapons, but also produced 1,200 wooden ladders and 400 torches

The durability of the stone pickaxe is higher, and it also possesses greater mining attributes, which in turn enhances its efficiency.

In the impression of Chen Xiyi, this Dali Kingdom resembles a feudal dynasty from his previous life in ancient times

Looking at all the states he had recovered, Chen Xiyi couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief

What? Only slept for 1 minute

Almost...

The wooden pickaxe has durability; with excessive use, it will inevitably decrease. When the durability reaches zero, the wooden pickaxe will naturally break.

He has been working for more than half the night; according to his own time, it is now already eleven thirty in the evening

Moreover, repairs must be made before the durability reaches zero; once the durability hits zero, the item will be directly damaged and disintegrate, leaving nothing to repair even if one wishes to do so

Although this behavior is somewhat unscrupulous, Chen Xiyi believes that as a player, not rummaging through the homes of various civilian NPCs is already a sign of his considerable decency

Chen Xiyi descended into the mine, deep in thought.

After a flurry of activity, an hour quickly passed. Once everything was in order, Chen Xiyi set off once again for the Dali Kingdom

That is also sleeping

Regarding the degree of animosity, Chen Xiyi is somewhat at a loss for words. The specifics should encompass a wide range, not limited to just one type of animosity.

He cannot possibly say that he is truly wasting time here

Chen Xiyi suddenly felt that he had been a bit hasty. Each time he excavated, a hole of equal length, width, and height would appear, meaning that in fact, he had excavated 9 units of resources, rather than just one unit.

23:59 jumped to 00:00

Enemy (1/1)

After silently reciting a phrase, Chen Xiyi returned from his stone house to the wooden house of his homeland

No, not only the city walls, I will even dismantle the city gates for him. As long as I knock fast enough, the soldiers guarding the city will definitely not be able to react in time

Once again, it is only a little past 1 AM now. According to Chen Xiyi's judgment, the Dali Kingdom should be under curfew at this time

Go back

Repairs can indeed be made, but for Chen Xiyi, it is simply not worth it. It would be better to replace it with a new wooden pickaxe, which only requires 1 unit of wood. Repairing it also requires 1 unit of wood, so he might as well get a new one

This saved him half of his time and energy

Then, he stored some of the resources in a wooden storage box and began to craft the tools he needed

The wooden armor originally had a defense of 1, and it has now changed to a defense of 2

stone pickaxe

After placing the wooden pickaxe back into the inventory, he climbed up the wooden ladder. By the end of this evening, he had already worn out several of his wooden pickaxes.

It may be a bit excessive, but one cannot simply say that we will not proceed because it is too much
