She needed to return to her base and 'break down' the rabbit first.

An unexpected gain is certainly a good thing, but the appearance of this rabbit also disrupted Su You's original plan.

Originally, according to her arrangement, she wanted to go to the refresh point where all the stone monsters were killed by the mysterious creature yesterday, because she saw a stone called 'sandstone' nearby there yesterday.

Sandstone requires a mining pickaxe to mine, and its function is to synthesize an item called a 'whetstone'.

The whetstone effect is as its name suggests. If explained from a digital perspective, its function is to restore the durability of the tool.

This is why she uses the stone to make a stone mining pickaxe, because with sandstone, she doesn't need to make a new stone ax to chop down trees.

Under normal circumstances, the lair of stone monsters may produce sandstone, but if you want to mine sandstone, the most important thing is to kill all the nearby stone monsters... Otherwise, you will demolish other people's homes in front of them. This is already It's not just a provocative act, the consequences are naturally self-evident.

After all, it was thanks to that mysterious creature.

If it hadn't helped to eliminate all three stone monsters, Su You would have hesitated for a long time yesterday.

Hesitate whether to use the stone to make an axe, or spend some time cleaning up the stone monsters, then mine sandstone, use the whetstone made of sandstone to restore the durability of the axe, and then chop down the tree.

But now that those stone monsters have been killed, Su You doesn't need to worry anymore.

In less than a day, Su You's plans were disrupted twice by unexpected circumstances, one was the appearance of a mysterious creature and the other was the appearance of a rabbit.

Although these two unexpected situations are developing in a good direction for Su You, they also make Su You more vigilant.

Accidents can be good or bad, and she can't let down her guard just because of two surprises in a row.





After taking the rabbit back to its resting place, Su You used a stone knife to peel it off.

There is nothing special about the peeling process. Because of the auxiliary calibration, the peeling speed of Suyou is not particularly slow.

After a complete piece of rabbit skin was peeled off, the rabbit in Suyou's hand turned into scattered objects.

[Obtain animal skin*1]

[Get small pieces of meat*4]

[Obtain rabbit fur*5]

The reason why Su You placed the small trap was because of the animal skin. She needed the animal skin to make something called a tool kit.

The function of the tool bag is to store tools. The tools here include axes, mining picks, stone knives, as well as shovels, hoes, hammers, etc. that have not yet been made...

The tool bag is equivalent to a separate backpack space. Although it can only store tools, as long as it is there, the backpack space can be saved a lot.

Just like now, Suyou's backpack occupies three slots for tools alone, but she can't do without these tools because she needs to use them.

The materials required for the tool kit are [hide*3, cord*5], and the holding space is one for each type of tool. For example, it can only hold an axe, but it can hold an axe, a shovel, and a mine at the same time. A pickaxe, a stone knife...as long as it is a tool, you can put it in it.

But given that the current materials were insufficient, Su You could only put the animal skins away, together with the rabbit meat and rabbit fur wrapped in leaves, under the tree.

After getting these things, Su You went straight to the stone monster's spawn point.

Because of the time consumed by the Teng Teng Rabbit, when Su You arrived at the refresh point of the sandstone, the sky was gradually getting brighter.

Before mining the sandstone, Su You first checked her surroundings to make sure there were no stone monsters around, and then she took out her mining pick to mine the sandstone.

Mining stone is different from wood. Wood is isolated one by one. As long as you can cut down one tree, you can harvest the resources of a tree. But stone is connected into a large piece.

Unless it is a single large stone, or a whole piece of stone like this, the resource drop is calculated separately.

For example, if you dig with the first pickaxe, the probability of dropping resources is 5%, and with the second pickaxe it will become 10%... The more times you dig, the greater the probability of dropping resources, until you successfully drop resources. until.

After the resource is dropped, this probability will be calculated again.

Because of the existence of sandstone, Suyou was prepared to use the durability of the stone mineral pickaxe at least a little bit before stopping, just like the stone axe.

Once the durability reaches zero, the tool will be scrapped directly and cannot be repaired. However, as long as there is even a little durability, the tool will still be intact and can be repaired with a whetstone at any time.



As the durability of the mining pick disappeared little by little, Su You's physical strength also decreased rapidly.

In order to ensure efficiency, Su You took a short rest in the middle... This was to keep his physical strength in a range that could increase the efficiency of his actions.

When the durability of the Stone Ore Pickaxe reached (3/100), a piece of sandstone happened to be dropped.

Seeing this piece of sandstone, Su You paused, and then stopped, not choosing to continue digging with two pickaxes.

Although the probability of mining this kind of stone fluctuates, on average you have to dig five or six times before one will drop.

Only then did a piece of sandstone fall, and the probability of mining sandstone was reset. With only 3 points of durability left, Su You didn't expect to drop a stone by digging it twice... Since it was impossible to drop it, then why not? There is no need to waste energy.

After putting away the stone mining pick, Su You began to pick up large and small sandstone blocks on the ground.

[Obtain sandstone*4]

[Obtain sandstone*1]

[Obtain sandstone fragments*6]



After all the sandstones on the ground have been picked up, Su You now has a total of 15 sandstones and 20 sandstone fragments.

A whetstone requires five pieces of sandstone to make, and fifteen pieces is enough to make three whetstones.

As for the sandstone fragments, these are not quarrying drops, but debris (garbage) generated during the mining process. The probability of the occurrence of sandstone fragments and the probability of the occurrence of sandstone are calculated separately. The probability of the former is Obviously it will be higher.

These fragments were of little use, at least for now, because sandstone fragments were different from gravel and could not be synthesized into sandstone, so Su You finished picking up the sandstone fragments and placed them in a corner.

Even if there are useless things, Su You doesn't have the habit of throwing them away, because she can't say whether she will use them in the future. If she really needs them, she can easily come and pick them up when she has them sorted. Anyway, this is It doesn’t take much effort.

With these sandstones, Su You can start making a whetstone.
