Fang Xiaoyue lived in the human gathering place for three days, and after letting her sister fully enjoy the prosperity of human society, she checked out the house, went to a private stall and bought a rusty long knife, and took her sister with her. Left the gathering place of hope.
No way, he still needs to earn the remaining 3,000 yuan. In fact, after leaving the Hope Gathering Place, he was very lucky and collected many suitable herbs.
But on the third day, as soon as he woke up from the shelter, he heard violent roars and fighting sounds in the distance.
When he came closer with his sister on his back, he saw two beasts fighting. A bison and a leopard.
The bison does not have any powerful abilities, but it is obvious that its body is extremely strong and sturdy. Whenever it rushes towards the leopard, the trees along the way will be easily broken by it.
The leopard has the ability to manipulate the air. It constantly manipulates the air near the bison in an attempt to suffocate the opponent.
Unfortunately, the leopard's ability to manipulate the air does not seem to be very powerful, and the bison is very fast when sprinting and can easily disperse the surrounding air.
So in the end, the leopard was accidentally hit by the bison, and the whole body was dented like a bow, and the bison pushed its head against a boulder.
Just like this, the leopard only had half his life left. But the bison had no intention of letting the opponent go at all, and knocked him away frequently.
Within five or six minutes, the leopard was knocked out by the bison dozens of times. In fact, after being knocked away more than ten times, Fang Xiaoyue clearly felt that the leopard was completely dead.
It's just that the bison has a very bad temper, and he just vents it out after that. Fortunately, after the genetic recombination, the bison still likes to eat grass and has no interest in meat. In the end, it tramples the leopard with its hooves and then walks away.
After watching this battle, Fang Xiaoyue also felt that the result was normal. After all, although the leopard can control the air, it still has no chance of victory in the face of absolute power.
No way, the difference in body shape between the two sides is extremely huge. The bison was as big as several elephants put together, while the leopard was only slightly larger than before the war.
Therefore, if the leopard wants to kill the bison, it can only grind it a little bit, but if the bison wants to kill the leopard, it only needs to catch it once, and the leopard will be dead.
As soon as the bison left, Fang Xiaoyue couldn't wait to rush forward and take out the power organ from the leopard's body.
As for the leopard meat, drag it to the creek, process and wash it for a while, then grill it on a campfire and it becomes delicious.
This time when he entered the Hope Gathering Place, he bought a lot of spices when he left. For example, seasonings such as pepper oil, soy sauce, chili powder, cumin, etc.
These seasonings were much stronger than the wild seasonings that Fang Xiaoyue had not handled much. After some barbecue cooking, Wang Xiaoya's saliva flowed all over the floor.
Just when Fang Xiaoyue was having a feast with her sister, a hedgehog as big as an elephant came over because he smelled the fragrance or something.
Seeing the dense spikes on the hedgehog's body, Fang Xiaoyue subconsciously pulled her sister over, and then rushed behind a boulder with all her strength.
The next moment, there was a whooshing sound in the air. Thousands of spikes shot out after the hedgehog inhaled, like a dense rain of arrows rising into the sky and falling towards Fang Xiaoyue.
It has to be said that in the past, this spiked animal, which was only the size of a palm, has become quite astonishing in combat after it has grown in size.
In an instant, dense thorns fell from the boulder where Fang Xiaoyue was hiding. If Fang Xiaoyue hadn't been able to hide quickly, he and his sister would have been trapped in a hornet's nest by the spikes.
I have to say, this hedgehog is indeed a bit tricky. As soon as Fang Xiaoyue poked her head out, several sharp spikes shot out.
There were so many spikes on the hedgehog's body, tens of thousands of them. After Fang Xiaoyue teased it several times, the spikes on its body were still densely packed.
This made Fang Xiaoyue frown involuntarily.
"Xiaoya, hide behind the stone and don't move." After Fang Xiaoyue warned her sister a few words, she rushed out.
Seeing the prey reappearing, the hedgehog immediately staggered towards Fang Xiaoyue and chased it. While chasing, it swayed its body and shot hundreds of spikes every time, driving Fang Xiaoyue into a panic.
This also made Fang Xiaoyue very helpless. If it were other beasts, even fire-breathing salamanders, five or six of them would be easier to kill with his current physical fitness.
But this hedgehog was covered in thorns. If Fang Xiaoyue dared to pounce on it, it would only take a few waves of sharp stimulation to completely destroy Fang Xiaoyue.
Therefore, Fang Xiaoyue could only use herself as bait, constantly provoking the hedgehog back and forth, causing it to waste its spikes.
More than half an hour passed, and the spikes on the hedgehog became sparse. Seeing that it was still unable to capture Fang Xiaoyue, the hedgehog became impatient. It accelerated its pursuit of Fang Xiaoyue, and the number of spikes it shot continued to increase.
If it had been anyone else, even a few hundred people would have been turned into corpses by the flying spikes in just a moment.
After dodging several times in a row, Fang Xiaoyueyang pretended to be shot by a spike and fell to the ground with a scream.
If it were a human, he would probably shoot again to ensure that the prey would not escape. However, although the hedgehog has become more powerful now, its IQ is still the same as before the war. When it saw Fang Xiaoyue screaming and falling down, it immediately ran over.
But the moment the hedgehog approached, Fang Xiaoyue jumped up from the ground, and the rusty long knife in his hand plunged straight into the hedgehog's face.
The hedgehog howled miserably, and all the remaining spikes on its body suddenly shot out, leaving holes in the surrounding grass.
But Fang Xiaoyue's position was in the blind corner of the spikes, perfectly avoiding all the spikes. After killing the hedgehog, Fang Xiaoyue disemboweled it and searched for it, but could not find its power organ.
But this is not surprising. The hedgehog's ability lies in its spikes. The pores on its skin have a special gas storage structure, which contains high-pressure gas, so it can easily shoot those spikes dozens of meters away.
So after Fang Xiaoyue found out this, he peeled off all the hedgehog skins. This thing should be sold at a high price.
At the same time, he collected all the spikes, tied them into two large bundles, picked them up on a pole made of bamboo, and took his sister back to the hope gathering place.
Returning to the gathering place of hope, Fang Xiaoyue sold all the gains from this trip to the official store. What he didn't expect was that the most valuable items were the hedgehog's spikes.
It's not surprising after thinking about it. He checked these spikes. Although they are slender, they are very tough and elastic, with a length of more than three meters.
This is excellent bowstring material. As a result, Fang Xiaoyue not only raised enough remaining funds, but also had more than 10,000 yuan extra.
However, he commissioned the official store to build a strong bow for himself. Although there was a discount, it cost him 1,500 yuan.
After that, he bought a small house in the Hope Gathering Area, with an area of 88 square meters, three bedrooms and two living rooms, and a compact structure.
But this house cost him 7,000 yuan. This is not surprising. Even in the post-war ruins era, houses with a good and safe environment are still worthy of investment.
The reason why Fang Xiaoyue bought a house in the Hope Gathering Area was entirely because she heard that a school was being built in the Hope Gathering Area.
There is no doubt that the people at the top of the gathering place are far-sighted and know the importance of knowledge.
Naturally, Fang Xiaoyue wanted to send Wang Xiaoya to school. After all, six-year-old children, before the war, would sit in class and study instead of wandering around in the wild with their older brothers.
In addition, Fang Xiaoyue felt that it was too dangerous to be in the wild. With Wang Xiaoya wandering around in the wild with him, it was hard to say that something unexpected would not happen.
If you want to study in a hope gathering place, you must first have real estate in a hope gathering place. The second question is how much tuition to pay.
Of course, the school has not yet been built. It is said that the best townhouses in the area are going to be used as classrooms. As for the tables and benches, they are being collected, and the teachers are being assessed.
As for how soon schools will start, it has not yet been announced. After all, even if there are classrooms, tables and benches, and teachers, teaching materials must be prepared, and even the teachers may need to be retrained.
After all, a lot of things have been lost in two years, including the knowledge in the human brain. Everyone is struggling on the line of life and death. How can there be time to study, review the past and learn the new?
Everyone knows this saying: "You can't do anything without practicing for three days." However, during the following period, Fang Xiaoyue did not go out. Instead, she squatted at home and taught her sister how to read.
Let’s not talk about the quality of teaching after the school is established. Teaching my sister some simple new words first will help her build up enough learning confidence after she enters school.
But my sister doesn’t seem to be very interested in studying? Fang Xiaoyue taught Wang Xiaoya more practice with the new characters, but her sister was not willing.
This is not too strange, after all, the environment is different now. In addition, my sister has been living in the wild with him for two years, and everyone has become wild.
Fang Xiaoyue asked her sister about her ambition, and her sister's answer was that she wanted to be as powerful as her brother and kill those beasts running around.
This gave Fang Xiaoyue a headache. But fortunately, my sister is still young, so if she can guide her more, she won't have any deviations.
More than ten days passed quickly, and it was time to pay the final payment and receive the alchemy furnace. Fang Xiaoyue asked her sister to practice calligraphy at home and went straight to the official store.
I have to say that the blacksmith skills in the official store are still very good. The alchemy furnace is relatively exquisitely made, especially the internal structure. It is made exactly according to Fang Xiaoyue's sketch. Even if there are some errors, it will have little impact.
Fang Xiaoyue happily paid the balance and returned home with an alchemy furnace the size of a watermelon. It is impossible to set the specifications of the alchemy furnace to such a size.
First of all, I didn’t have enough money at that time, so I didn’t have enough money to customize a larger alchemy furnace. Secondly, if the alchemy furnace is made large, it can easily weigh five to six hundred kilograms or even one thousand kilograms.
With such weight and volume, it is very troublesome to carry or transport. Although the alchemy furnace the size of a watermelon looks a bit smaller and more exquisite, it is barely enough for alchemy.
What's more, Fang Xiaoyue asked the blacksmith to install a long iron chain on the ears of the alchemy furnace. In the future, when walking in the wild and encountering more powerful beasts, this alchemy furnace can also be used as a meteor hammer.
When he got home and saw Wang Xiaoya pretending to practice calligraphy seriously, Fang Xiaoyue just shook his head. He could tell from his sister's panic that she must not have practiced calligraphy well when he was not at home.
But at this time, he was in a hurry to refine elixirs and had no time to educate his sister. When she came to the kitchen, Fang Xiaoyue put the alchemy stove on the stove.
Due to the collapse of human social civilization, there is naturally no natural gas supply in the current human gathering areas. If you want to cook at home, you can only use firewood.
Well, there are firewood all over the mountains and plains in the wild. As long as you are not afraid of wild animals and go out with an axe, machete and saw, you can bring back a lot of firewood in one day.
As mentioned before, without an alchemy furnace, Fang Xiaoyue could only refine some elixirs.
The reason is that without suitable alchemy tools, the alchemy energy will leak during the refining process, causing the quality of the elixir to drop significantly.
At the same time, many elixirs require a certain temperature when refining. Fang Xiaoyue's heating ability is not suitable.
After stuffing the firewood into the stove and igniting the fire, Fang Xiaoyue added a small amount of water into the alchemy furnace. After steam came out of the alchemy furnace, she added the first herb.
Now that there is an alchemy furnace, in order to ensure the quality of the elixir, Fang Xiaoyue will definitely not stuff all the herbs into the helmet and boil them like before. Instead, he will put in the herbs in order and at certain intervals.
By the time the last herb was put in, more than twenty minutes had passed. Since the special structure inside the alchemy furnace locks the elixir energy emitted during the refining process, the smell of herbs in the kitchen is not strong.
It took him a full hour and twenty minutes to refine this first batch of elixir before extinguishing the firewood in the stove.
After cooking for more than 20 minutes with the help of residual heat, the lid of the furnace was opened. When the furnace lid was opened, a strong fragrance of elixir spread out instantly, making Fang Xiaoyue couldn't help but nod. It's done.
Just by smelling it, Fang Xiaoyue knew that this furnace of Dali Dan was of high quality. Of course, the Dali Pill is always the inferior type of pill. Even if it is refined with a better pill furnace and better herbs, the upper limit of its quality will be what it is now, and it will not be improved much.
After opening the alchemy furnace, there was a light layer of black ointment inside. Fang Xiaoyue dug it out with a spoon, shaped it into pills, and sealed them with beeswax.
