No matter how dissatisfied Zhu Yuanyuan is, she will still do what needs to be done every day. Maodong, even if he is idle, he will be idle.
The next day I slept until I woke up naturally. After washing, I bought two meat floss buns and a carton of sweet milk from the mall. While eating, I opened the system panel to check the time. I was squirting at this sight.
"Learn to blacksmith? I'm just a delicate little female, how can you let me learn this thing?"
Learning tasks is good, but you also need to get some reliable courses!
"This is a course specially selected by the system based on the needs of the host," Tong Aotian replied seriously.
Zhu Yuanyuan choked, "I do want to find iron ore to make iron tools, but that doesn't mean I have to forge the iron myself. With such a heavy sledgehammer, my arms will become thicker after swinging it for several days."
Although many females in the tribe like to be strong, this does not include her.
Tong Aotian said seductively, "If you don't know how to blacksmith, it will be useless even if you find iron ore. If you learn it first, it will be easy to teach others later. As long as someone learns it, can your leader still let you continue to do this?"
"That's right," Zhu Yuanyuan touched her chin and thought to herself, "Then just learn. Anyway, there are many skills that won't overwhelm you, and your arms won't really get thicker in the virtual space."
What she didn't know was that one compromise would lead to all kinds of strange lessons later on.
Poor Zhu Yuanyuan still enthusiastically followed the virtual teacher to learn how to refine molten iron. Even though the method was too primitive and crude and inefficient, it was still an eye-opener for her.
Of course, the process was a bit painful, especially when she stood in front of the furnace with a sledgehammer, her whole body was burned red, as if she was about to be roasted, and her whole body was dry.
Hammer after hammer, I don't know how many times it took to smash out a crooked sword-like object.
She originally wanted to make a dagger for self-defense, but...
Alas, if I say too much, I will shed tears, so it is better not to say anything.
After learning the content of the mission, Tong Aotian first gloated about the misfortune, then felt that something was wrong, and began to feel uneasy, fearing that the host would give up and give up, so he agreed to buy a small gift for the host with his private star coins, which he regarded as comfort.
Zhu Yuanyuan looked at the packet of saccharin that suddenly appeared in her hand, and she went numb.
No, you should be more considerate when giving gifts. It is better not to give a small packet of saccharin for 0.5 star coins.
"Tongzi, no, Aotian~" Zhu Yuanyuan said earnestly, "If you were a human being, I'm afraid you wouldn't be beaten every two days."
Tong Aotian was a little confused, "Why?"
It is a sincere gift, so forget it if the host is not moved, but it still says such unlucky words. Really, what is the point of being so enthusiastic?
"I can buy two white flour buns for one star coin, but you spend half a star coin to buy saccharin as a gift," Zhu Yuanyuan said with a smile, "The key is that I don't need this stuff at all."
In her previous life, she grew up in an ordinary farm family and knew that saccharin was not a good thing and few people would eat it. Tongzi was an advanced artificial intelligence, how could she not know that?
It's better not to give a gift that is obviously useless.
"Host, it's wrong for you to do this," Tong Aotian scoundrelly said, "Have you ever heard that courtesy is more important than affection?"
"I'm sorry, I don't have much friendship with you," Zhu Yuanyuan was extremely irritable, "Don't give me these messy things in the future, otherwise I won't be in the mood to go about my daily life."
Thinking about her recent classes, she thought it might be better to wait until spring before completing the assignment.
"How can that be done," Tong Aotian objected eagerly, "For the plane trading function, the host must not back down."
Zhu Yuanyuan said calmly, "It depends on your performance~"
This is a blatant benefit.
Tong Aotian suddenly realized it, and suppressed his heartache and said, "If you don't like to eat that cloud cake, I will buy it for you."
"How much do you want to buy?" Zhu Yuanyuan asked.
"A pound, no, half a pound," Tong Aotian said with a smile, "Eating too much sweets will make you gain weight."
Zhu Yuanyuan was too lazy to argue and whispered two words, "Too little."
"It's quite a lot," Tong Aotian argued, "You got it for free, you don't have to pay star coins."
"Can you be more generous?" Zhu Yuanyuan would not be fooled, "Please
A good person should have an attitude. "
Tong Aotian knew that nothing would happen unless some blood came out, so he could only say reluctantly, "I'll buy you a pound."
"Five pounds," Zhu Yuanyuan asked for the price.
"Ah!!" Tong Aotian was so shocked that he almost couldn't react, "You are talking like a lion."
"You can choose to refuse," Zhu Yuanyuan replied.
Tong Aotian said reluctantly, "Two pounds at most, otherwise I won't need you."
"Okay," Zhu Yuanyuan agreed crisply, "just like you said, you can't eat too much sweets. Two kilograms is enough for me to eat for more than half a year."
Tong Aotian, "..." Who is this person? He really wants to do something!
I didn't want to be angry, I had to do what I promised, so I endured my heartache and bought two kilograms of the cheapest cloud cake in the mall for a total of fifteen stars.
"You are so stingy!" Zhu Yuanyuan said helplessly.
"I can't help it, who made me poor," Tong Aotian replied confidently.
Zhu Yuanyuan, "..." Forget it, she is too lazy to fuss with Tongzi, and she might as well use her energy to deal with blacksmithing lessons.
There are five daily tasks in five classes, and each class lasts forty minutes, which means that she has to stay in front of a high-temperature stove for four hours a day. Even if it is a virtual environment, it will not affect the real body, and it is still very uncomfortable.
Alas, I hope she can change courses, not all of them, but at least most of them, so that she can take a breather.
Perhaps her resentment was too heavy for Tongzi to bear, so on the fifth day after the heavy snowfall, she finally changed the course to two lessons on blacksmithing and three lessons on coal mining.
That's right, it's coal mining.
Blacksmithing requires high temperature, and it is difficult to use firewood and charcoal. It is better and more cost-effective to burn coal, but coal has not yet been developed in the orc world, so she has to deal with all these problems.
Thinking about the huge project, Zhu Yuanyuan couldn't help but feel numb. She began to wonder if she was too stupid and naive for finding herself a big job that would take three to five years to complete.
Want to give up?
She shook her head, no. If you want to improve the strength of the tribe, iron is a very important thing. How can stone and bone tools be better than iron tools? Even the crooked and uneven iron knife she forged is very sharp after being bladed. sharp.
At least it's sharper than a stone knife and stronger than a bone knife.
Therefore, no matter how tired you are, you have to learn. Giving up will be a huge loss.
What Zhu Yuanyuan didn't expect was that blacksmithing and coal mining was just the beginning. She still had a lot to learn in the future, including papermaking, glassmaking, raising cicadas and reeling silk, as long as she had to learn any useful skills.
During the whole snow season, people are dumbfounded.
Zhu Yuanyuan asked Tongzi speechlessly, "Are you going to die?"
"Nonsense!" Tong Ao was so angry that he almost crashed, "Even if you are finished, I won't have any problems."
"It's not time you were afraid of being stereotyped," Zhu Yuanyuan sneered. "In the past, farming, pottery making, charcoal burning, and weaving were all skills that I didn't acquire. But now it's better. Even if you don't want to learn, there's obviously something wrong with it." .”
Tong Aotian was angry, "Then what's your problem?"
You can learn so many skills for free and get rewards. To still question such a good thing is to act like you are getting an advantage.
