While waiting for the grindstone to be made, Su You took a short rest and replenished her hunger level.

Although it was still the same, this time no unknown creature came to snatch her food, and she didn't know if the creature had left...

But this has nothing to do with Su You. Her ability to reach a deal with that creature was purely a matter of luck.

It happened that the creature passed by and cleaned up the stone monster. The falling of the stone monster attracted Su You; it happened that the creature liked or needed food; it happened that she took out the food, and it was the food it liked...

So many 'coincidences' led to what happened yesterday.

This kind of opportunity is rare and can be found when you need it most. Even though it is a transaction, Su You is still very grateful.

Because from a certain perspective, this transaction is unfair.



A minute later, a reddish-brown 'stone brick' about the size of an adult man's palm appeared on Su You's hand.

The stone bricks are heavy in weight and a little heavy in the hand. The surface looks smooth, but if you look closely, you can find that it is actually a rough surface - this is the 'whetstone' made of sandstone.

【Whetstone】

Category: Tools

Quality: white

Durability: 5/5

Introduction: A whetstone can restore other tools to a sharp (i.e. durable) state. The higher the level, the harder it is for tools with better materials to return to a sharp state.



The durability of the whetstone also represents the number of times it is used. 5/5 means it can be used five times. After five times, the whetstone will turn into powder and disappear.

Although the whetstone is also a tool, the whetstone cannot repair the durability of the whetstone, so there is no such thing as a whetstone. As long as you have two whetstones, you can repair each other and form a bug in the form of a whetstone perpetual motion machine. Case.

With the whetstone in hand, Su You took out the axe, which had only a little durability left in his backpack.

She put it on the whetstone and sharpened it casually. In just a few seconds, the durability of the whetstone became 4/5, and the durability of the stone ax changed from 1/100 to 100/100. .

In the blink of an eye, an ax that was almost unusable turned into a brand new axe.

Of course, only stone tools can achieve such a high repair efficiency.

If you replace it with a more advanced tool, even if a whole whetstone is worn out, it may only recover a dozen or even a few points of durability.



With the ax in hand, the next thing Su You had to do was to chop down trees like crazy and mindlessly.

The primary arrow tower requires 20 pieces of wood, and the construction of the city core fire requires 60 pieces of wood, which adds up to a total of 80 pieces of wood...

After a morning of unremitting efforts, Su You successfully collected nearly a hundred pieces of wood even though a whetstone was broken.

Because there was insufficient space in the backpack, three groups of 60 pieces of wood were synthesized by Su You into the wooden boards needed to build the city fire.

The remaining wood is still placed in the backpack.

The arrow tower is a large building. Like a bonfire, it must be placed immediately after construction. It cannot be stored like a wooden fence, so Suyou can only take the wood with him temporarily and wait until he reaches the destination to build it.

"Finally done..." Su You leaned against a tree tiredly, drinking the last glass of juice and starting to pack her backpack.

Backpack (10/10): String*4, Roasted Berries*8, Stone*5, Wood*20, Wood*20, Board*5, Whetstone*2, Stone Ax (5/100), Stone Mining pick (3/100), stone knife (88/100)

Looking at the contents of the backpack, Su You didn't know what to think of. He first took out the stone knife from the backpack and made a space. Then he put the two wooden cups into the backpack and prepared to return to his footing.

When passing by the place where she made the 'deal' with the mysterious creature yesterday, Su You stopped - the place where she had placed seven portions of roasted berries and a cup of berry juice was now empty, with nothing left, not even the inedible ones. There was no trace of the wooden cup, and I don’t know where the guy got it.

Although the wooden cup is missing, it does not affect Su You's next steps.

She took out all the eight remaining roasted berries in her backpack and placed them neatly under the tree like yesterday.

After doing all this, Su You put the stone knife back into his backpack and left without stopping.

Yesterday's transaction has ended, but for Su You, the value of seven roasted berries is completely incomparable to the ten pieces of gravel and one stone.

Red berry bushes are common resources in the forest, as are leaves. In other words, roasted berries are worthless to Suyou, just like sand in the desert. Although it takes a while to collect, they are everywhere visible.

The stone that the other party used to trade with her was like a rare 'water source' in the desert. It was what she needed most and was also the hardest to get.

In the desert, exchanging 'sand' for 'water'... To be honest, if she hadn't really had no extra roasted berries on her yesterday, otherwise she wouldn't have said seven servings of roasted berries, even seventeen or twenty-seven servings. She would also take it out without any hesitation.

Sunset Continent has a very special emphasis. In the words of former players, it is 'balance'.

No matter what you do, you must pay attention to a balance. Only by maintaining this balance can you live more relaxedly in the Sunset Continent...

As the saying goes, if you want to live in the mainland, you should first join the 'Balance Cult'.

As for what balance has to do with her putting these roasted berries here... Suyou couldn't explain the reason, but as a 'senior' balance cultist, she knew she needed to do this.





Although all the food on her body was gone, Suyou did not choose to collect red berries for replenishment on the way back.

This is not because the backpack space is insufficient... If the backpack space is really insufficient, she can just take out a tool and carry it with her hands, thus saving a backpack space.

As long as it's not too troublesome, she can even hold the same tool in each hand, thus saving two spaces.

The reason why she didn't collect red berries was partly a matter of time, and partly because she didn't need red berries as food for the time being.

After returning to his base, the first thing Suyou did was to use the remaining materials to light a bonfire and then start making barbecue.

The meat here is naturally freshly decomposed rabbit meat.

Meat can obviously restore more satiety than berries.
