Tian'an Kingdom, outside Luoyang City.
Thousands of miles of dense forest is vast, and from time to time there is a loud sound, like the roar of a dragon or the roar of a tiger, startling hundreds of birds flying, as if they are fleeing from something terrible.
The sun shines through the shade of the trees on Xiao Shisan's slightly immature face.
"Phew, that one just now must be a monster. It's really scary."
Jumping down from the branch lightly, the medicinal materials in the basket on his back swayed gently.
Xiao Shisan looked around. At this time, the surrounding bushes had quieted down. He patted his chest with lingering fear, thinking that the monster must have left.
"Today's harvest is good. I can go to Luoyang City to eat for a few days!"
Looking at the basket full of medicinal materials, Xiao Shisan showed a satisfied smile.
Putting down his backpack, Xiao Shisan took out a piece of dry wheat cake and chewed it carefully with the water from the water bag.
Although it has been a year since I came to this world, I still feel a little uncomfortable.
"Put the cake on the rack and bake it, then apply a layer of honey, turn it over, and repeat it again. Just eat the two pieces of braised pork together. That's how beautiful it is!"
Just remembering the taste, Xiao Shisan bit down on the wheat cake and chewed it hard.
In his previous life, he was a hard-working college student who played games in the dormitory day and night. Unexpectedly, he was so bored that he ended up here.
Perhaps it was a coincidence that the owner of this body was also named Xiao Shisan and was similar to him in age.
The predecessor had no spiritual roots and had no status in this world where even dogs could become gods.
What's even more tragic is that he still doesn't believe in evil and tries to awaken his spiritual roots by chewing medicinal materials.
The result can be imagined. When the game was lost and his life was hanging by a thread, Xiao Shisan happened to travel through time and took over the body.
Biting the wheat cake, Xiao Shisan looked into the distance, where there was a magnificent city.
In this world where monks control the vast majority of resources, the status of mortals who cannot practice is like the mud in the mire, no different from insects.
He often went to Luoyang City. It was full of houses made of blue bricks, and all kinds of silks and satins were dazzling.
But only monks and warriors can live in the city. If mortals want to live in it, they can only sell themselves and go to the homes of those monks to be slaves who have no freedom and whose life and death are in their hands.
Maybe it was due to the long-term education he received in his previous life, but Xiao Shisan didn't want that.
Fortunately, his predecessor was not without success. At least he left behind a lot of common knowledge about medicinal materials and precautions for collecting medicines in the forest.
Otherwise, how could a college student like Xiao Shisan, who was industrious and ignorant of food and grains, spend a year safely in this forest where monsters were rampant?
After eating two wheat cakes, the emptiness in my stomach was finally suppressed.
"Get some more firewood and then go back."
Standing up and carrying the basket behind his back again, Xiao Shisan walked back along the path.
When he came, he noticed that there were some things suitable for making firewood.
Half an hour later, Xiao Shisan stopped. He was almost out of the forest, and the forest was much shorter than where it was just now.
"This is it. I heard that this kind of tree will have a nice fragrance when used for fire. I don't know if it's true or not."
The tree is as thick as an adult man's waist and nearly ten meters tall. It is autumn, and the leaves above are beginning to turn yellow.
When going into the mountains to collect herbs, Xiao Shisan only brought a small hoe. Of course, it was impossible to use it to chop down such a thick tree.
However, he had a better idea.
I saw Xiao Shisan closing his eyes, and a ray of light flew out from between his forehead and attached to his right arm.
The light flowed and soon appeared like a steel suit, which was almost the same as Iron Man's arm in the previous movie.
When Xiao Shisan opened his eyes again, the aura in his eyes had quietly changed, and he seemed to be showing his strength for the first time.
Aiming at the position, he punched out, and the propeller at his elbow suddenly spurted out flames, increasing the power of his punch to the extreme.
After the bang, there was a crunching sound.
The big tree in front of Xiao Shisan broke with the sound, overwhelming a bush.
There was a shock in the armor, but Xiao Shisan had already adapted to it, and he simply shook it twice and ignored it.
The next thing is much simpler. Xiao Shisan only needs to cut off the branches and tie them into bundles before carrying them home.
When encountering branches that are constantly being broken by brute force, the palm of the armor can emit high-temperature cutting light, which can burn the branches in just one stroke.
Xiao Shisan was very skillful in his movements and tied two large bundles of firewood in a short time.
Sitting on the firewood, light waves circulated in his eyes, and a light curtain invisible to outsiders appeared.
[War Armor: Steel Arm Armor]
[Utility: high temperature cutting light, rocket booster]
[Level: Level 1 600/1000]
[Furnace Level: Level 1 500/2000]
[Utility: Can incinerate first-level spiritual objects and convert them into spiritual object values]
[Spiritual value: 250]
According to this more than half a year of exploration, Xiao Shisan has roughly figured out the rules for the operation of the furnace.
The furnace can incinerate spiritual objects of the same level and convert them into spiritual value for storage, while the spiritual value can be used to upgrade the level of the armor and furnace.
In addition, as long as Xiao Shisan uses the armor, his spiritual value will be consumed. Cutting branches like just now consumes more than 100 spiritual value in just ten minutes.
"Ugh, that's an ugly number."
Xiao Shisan took out two herbs from the basket on his back and silently recited a sentence to refine them.
The two medicinal plants withered visibly to the naked eye, and he didn't open his eyes again until they turned into two hay.
"Hey, the medicinal materials that can be exchanged for two kilograms of rice are only worth 10 spiritual points. This furnace really can't afford it."
During this year, Xiao Shisan would enter the forest every day, not only to find medicinal materials, but also to find some spiritual things to refine and upgrade.
But even the lowest-level spiritual grass may have monsters nesting around it, and he wouldn't dare run there without permission, as that would be tantamount to death.
It's not that Xiao Shisan has never tried to refine these trees. Trees that grow in places full of spiritual power can be considered spiritual objects, no matter how ordinary they are.
But the furnace indicated that the level was not high enough to refine it, so he had to focus on smaller medicinal materials.
He was very satisfied with the performance of the armor. During this year, all the remaining medicinal materials would be put into the furnace and exchanged for spiritual value while ensuring food.
In the past year, excluding consumption and upgrades, Xiao Shisan only had this little spiritual value left.
"It's just that it's too slow. When can we get the complete armor together?"
He cannot practice, and the level of his armor is too low. The medicinal materials on the outer edge of the forest have long been exhausted. If he wants to harvest more, he must go deeper.
During this year, Xiao Shisan has gradually deepened his knowledge, otherwise the scene where he met the monster would not have happened.
After simply calming down, Xiao Shisan walked down the mountain with a bundle of firewood in one hand and a basket on his back.
Seeing the wooden house not far away getting bigger and bigger, Xiao Shisan shook the sweat off his body, a smile appeared on his lips, and his steps became much brisker.
Outside the wooden house is a fence, the wooden door in the middle is open, and a thin figure is sitting there.
"How many times have I told you that when the weather gets cold, just wait for me in the house. I'm already not in good health. What should I do if there's another cold weather?"
When he came closer, Xiao Shisan couldn't help but chatter again.
"Brother, you are back!"
The girl was about twelve or thirteen years old. She still had a childlike look on her face, and her voice still had a milky voice. When she saw Xiao Shisan approaching, she hurriedly ran over to help carry firewood.
A bundle of firewood was light in Xiao Shisan's hands, but when it fell into the girl's hands, she couldn't lift it up.
"Okay, Qing'er, get some water for me, I'm thirsty."
Seeing Xiao Qing's stubborn look, Xiao Shisan flicked her on the forehead, picked up the firewood and walked into the yard.
"Hmph, brother, I will mention it one day."
Xiao Qing has two baby bumps and looks very cute in her vows.
"Okay, okay, Qing'er is the best, but can you please trouble Qing'er to get brother a bowl of water first? I'm so thirsty!"
Xiao Shisan was a little helpless towards his cheap sister who had a strange brain circuit.
I still remember that when I first came to this world, my predecessor died and passed away, leaving behind a sickly body.
It was Xiao Qing who knelt at the door of a group of villagers and begged for half a bowl of rice, boiled it into hot porridge and fed it to him, which prevented him from traveling through time again.
"Brother, the water is here!"
The little girl is very happy every day, and she jumps and jumps when she walks.
