[Side mission·Unknown entrance: You accidentally discovered an entrance to an unknown place in the dark night forest. This may be related to the place mentioned by the little girl Ling. You decided to explore this unknown entrance, but before that, you You need to first visit some farm residents and learn something about the unknown entrance from them. 】
[Task reward: 1000 experience points, system backpack +10. 】
Lu Xi was in a daze for a moment, looking at the newly popped up game mission. She studied it carefully several times, but she didn't see which farm residents the mission asked her to visit.
? ? ? Is this game of yours so extreme? You don't even make it clear who to go to, so you just make a guess, right?
Taking a look at the sky, it was still some time before noon, and the map of the Dark Night Forest was only half painted. Lu Xi had no choice but to suppress the thoughts that raised a middle finger to the game system in his heart, put the side mission aside, and concentrated on painting. Material.
She decided to spend one day today to buy enough materials to repair everything in the house, and wait until later to do any side tasks.
Anyway, you won’t be itchy if you have too many lice, and you won’t be worried if you have too many tasks.
A task process as detailed as the novice guidance task was not seen again after Lu Xi returned to the farm, which was really a headache.
For some simple tasks, it is possible to analyze how to do them from the descriptions, but I am afraid that even the descriptions of those tasks are vague, so you can only rely on guessing throughout the process.
As for the effect of the "Good Luck" Buff that has not yet ended, although Lu Xi intends to take advantage of it, if he really pursues such an ethereal thing, it may have no effect. It is better to do his own thing normally, there are still many possibilities Triggered accidentally.
With a hint of dissatisfaction with the game mission, Lu Xi swung the ax much harder, and the "clang" sound effect was particularly impressive.
The tree in front of Lu Xi fell down and turned into several long logs piled on the ground. He was about to pick them up and put them into his backpack when he suddenly noticed something bright and shining next to the pile of logs.
[System notification: Congratulations to the player for cutting down more than 100 gravel trees and unlocking the special drop item "Sandstone Tree Resin". Each time a gravel tree is cut down, there will be a 10% probability of dropping this item. 】
Lu Xi glanced at Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zuo not far away. They must have cut down more than a thousand trees. After all, it takes a few seconds to cut down a tree. If it weren't for walking, it would take time. This number would still be small. Can be doubled.
It seems that the number of trees cut down by Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo is not within the calculation range of the system. Only the trees cut down by Lu Xi himself are counted, and this number should also include the trees cut down by Lu Xi a few days ago.
It can be seen how good Lu Xi is in paddling.
The original idea of being lazy because Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo could help with the work was directly broken by such a system notification.
After all, if Lu Xi did not personally participate in the labor process, many functions may not be unlocked in his lifetime.
Sighing, Lu Xi could only cheer up and start working seriously. After all, according to the system notification that just popped up, she had to cut down 100 other trees.
emm... There may be requirements to cut down 1,000 or 10,000 trees even further.
These trees that were cut down had a quick refresh time and "grew" back in ten minutes.
So you can see that Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo cut down trees from the east end to the west end, and then suddenly ran back to the east end and continued to chop down trees to the west end.
Lu Xi didn't have to go through so much trouble. She didn't walk very fast, and Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo didn't touch the stretch of trees in front of her, so there was no need to turn back.
After unlocking the "Sandstone Tree Resin", Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo started to drop trees again, and the drops started to drop. It was almost the same as the drop rate marked by the system. If you cut ten trees, you would drop about one or two. Overall, the drops started to drop. The rate is a little higher than what the system says.
Lu Xi is different. She can drop seven or eight resins when she cuts ten trees. After all, each tree has a 10% probability of dropping resin, instead of ten trees dropping one resin.
This should be the effect of "good luck".
Lu Xi was particularly regretful that he could not unlock the lottery function. If he had the blessing of "good luck", wouldn't he be able to get 5 golds in ten consecutive games?
Before lunch, Lu Xi filled up another 100 frost and dew trees, unlocked the "frost and dew tree resin", and walked around the entire dark night forest.
Then Lu Xi finally noticed something was wrong. Where was the Sun Moon Tree? ? ?
There are three types of trees that can be cut down in the Dark Night Forest. Among them, the frost and dew trees and the sand and gravel trees are common materials and have the highest demand. There are not many places where the sun and moon tree materials are used.
In addition, Lu Xi discovered that the "prayer" function could obtain materials, so he used the prayer function to obtain a lot of sun and moon tree wood. There was no need to collect it in a short period of time.
Will she consciously brush up the number of trees cut down to unlock the resin of different trees, only to realize that she didn't meet a sun and moon tree? !
Looking at the map again, Lu Xi suddenly discovered that the icon of the Sun and Moon Tree was located in the middle of the map.
However, the map of the Dark Night Forest is a "square" route. There is no way to walk outside the route, and there is an air wall, so Lu Xi cannot enter at all.
Lu Xi had no choice but to click on the introduction about the Sun and Moon Tree in the game system and read it.
[Sun and Moon Tree: A rare wood in the Dark Night Forest. It is located in the center of the Dark Night Forest. Because only when the sun and moon intersect, a road will open to the center of the Dark Night Forest, so it is named the Sun and Moon Tree. 】
The so-called intersection of the sun and the moon actually refers to the time when the sun sets and the moon rises, or when the moon sets and the sun rises.
Usually around four or five in the morning and eight or nine in the evening.
To be precise, it is the two periods of time when the sun rises and when the sun sets.
Lu Xi was silent for a while. She remembered that Kylena from the restaurant reminded her that no more nights could pass in the Dark Night Forest, and she must leave the Dark Night Forest before 10 p.m.
In the same way, no one can enter the dark forest before the sun rises completely at 7 a.m.
Lu Xi was angry. This game system was a bit too cheating. He was not allowed to enter the Dark Forest at night, but key materials could only be obtained during the night.
Xiao Yuan and Zhuo Zhuo had no idea why Lu Xi's mood changed so quickly. They looked at each other and continued to happily chop down trees around them.
Lu Xi took out the "field stove" prop that could be used for cooking outside. A bonfire quickly appeared on the ground with two pots on it and a wooden countertop set up next to it, which could be used for cutting vegetables and the like. .
The most important thing is that Lu Xi saw a bucket filled with clean water next to him. The water in it would be replenished automatically after it was used up. He had no idea how it worked.
Lu Xi felt fresh for a while, and quickly made a few relatively simple and convenient dishes. After eating, there was no need to clean up, and the "field stove" disappeared automatically in two hours.
Yes, this thing is not only a one-time item, but also has a time limit of two hours. If the meal cannot be finished within two hours, even the unfinished food will disappear.
So if you don't have time to finish cooking, you can take out the dishes first and continue cooking on a new outdoor stove... Lu Xi tried it.
After eating and drinking, Lu Xi took the two cubs and continued cutting down trees. However, it was a bit boring to keep cutting down trees. She was not like the two cubs who had a good day farming. This kind of thing was not good for her. Not very attractive.
Mainly because she was a little tired from walking, but the two cubs were still full of energy.
So Lu Xi went to collect other materials to see if he could unlock any other special materials.
Unfortunately, after collecting a hundred wild fruits and weeds from the Dark Night Forest, Lu Xi only unlocked the system achievements and received achievement rewards totaling tens of thousands of copper coins.
Oh yes, Lu Xi also unlocked a new title "Lumberjack", which gives a 1% bonus to the drops dropped by cutting down trees. I don't know how she, a noble lady, suddenly became a lumberjack again. This game system is a bit weird. It doesn't make sense.
Before he knew it, night had fallen, and Lu Xi's system backpack had run out of empty slots. There were a lot of miscellaneous materials piled up, and he had eaten dozens of plates of food that could increase stamina.
Lu Xi felt that her mouth was filled with the taste of cabbage and meat rolls. After another physical victory, she held a plate of cabbage and cabbage rolls and couldn't put her mouth down for a long time.
After all, she had ignored the huge psychological impact of eating dozens of the same dishes over a short period of time... Lu Xi didn't even want to eat meat now.
With a retching sound, Lu Xi closed her eyes and put the food back into her system backpack. Forget it, she gave up. Life was so beautiful, there was no need to do this to herself.
Xiao Yuan also looked tired and lay down next to Lu Xi to rest. A whole day of cutting down trees had completely squeezed Xiao Yuan's physical limit.
And Zhuo Zhuo... Zhuo Zhuo is still cutting down trees.
Even after seeing Xiao Yuan withdraw from the show due to lack of physical strength, he became even more motivated. His stern look was filled with "You can't do it, you still have to look at me."
Lu Xi and Xiao Yuan leaned together, looking at Zhuo Zuo's figure, they couldn't help but sigh, creatures like dragons are so unbelievable.
It is highly intelligent and powerful, with no shortcomings at all. How could such a "perfect" creature exist in this world?
Lu Xi looked at the time and saw that it was only a little after five o'clock. It was still some time before dark. He looked at Xiao Yuan who was lying on the ground and didn't want to move. He decided to have dinner in the dark forest. Anyway, she didn't have anything in her backpack. There is a lack of ingredients for cooking, and the number of outdoor stoves is sufficient.
When she was about to cook, Lu Xi was suddenly stunned. Something suddenly occurred to her mind. The meals she cooked according to the system recipes, whether automatic or manual, had a physical bonus effect.
So besides the difference in taste, don't the meals she cooks have any special effects?
In other words, only the meals made from the recipes in the system have special effects.
So if she follows the system's recipes but doesn't use the system's functions to make the dishes, is it the same?
After thinking about it, Lu Xi decided that it wouldn't hurt to give it a try, and took out a set of kitchen utensils from the contract package, preparing to compare them and cook a dish according to the system's recipes.
Using a systematic outdoor stove and kitchen utensils bought in a human town, you can cook a dish at the same time, check the differences, and use a control group to distinguish the differences. This is called rigor.
The recipe Lu Xi chose was fried French fries. Firstly, it was easier to make, and secondly, she no longer wanted to eat meat.
The steps were pretty much the same, and it didn’t take long for the two French fries to be freshly baked. They were all served on plates from Lu Xi’s backpack. When placing the plates, Lu Xi also deliberately imitated the ones produced by the system. The finished dish looks like.
[Fried French Fries·Treasure: A dish made by someone's own hands. It takes longer than ordinary fried French fries and has a more delicious taste. You can feel happy after eating it. 】
[Special effect: The physical consumption recovery speed is slightly increased, and the energy value is slightly restored. 】
Both fried French fries show the same content and the effect is exactly the same. There is no difference between the different cooking props. It seems that the most important thing is the person who cooks.
The small amount of energy restored in the special effect made Lu Xi a little concerned. She didn't know how much energy could be restored. If the energy restored was more, she might be able to make a bunch of fried chips herself and put them in the system. Spare in backpack.
But you have to try other dishes. Lu Xi used two cooking tools to cook a pot of rice porridge each.
Although the taste of wild rice is completely inferior to the taste of rice on earth, as a food itself, it actually tastes not bad, as long as it is not regarded as rice on earth.
Lu Xi comforted himself.
Put the two bowls of rice porridge into the system backpack - Lu Xi couldn't directly check the introduction of the items, so he could only put them into the system backpack first and then check them.
If you cannot load the items in the system backpack, you have to check whether there is a corresponding introduction page in the system panel.
Most of the items mentioned in the system panel can be viewed.
[Wild rice porridge·Excellent: Made by someone personally, it is the first dish in this world. It is simple yet flavorful and has a unique taste. After eating it, you will get a strong sense of fullness and happiness. 】
[Special effect: The recovery speed of physical strength consumption is greatly increased, and the consumption of physical strength is greatly reduced, lasting for 6 hours. 】
[System notification: Congratulations to the player for creating a new recipe "Wild Rice Porridge". The production method has been unlocked in the kitchen system, and the system can be made automatically/manually in batches. 】
[System notification: Players are asked to choose whether to disclose the permissions for the dish "Wild Rice Porridge", such as restaurants, sales boards, etc. (If permissions are not opened, "Wild Rice Porridge" will not be sold). 】
Lu Xi was startled by a bunch of system notifications that suddenly popped up. Without hesitation, Lu Xi clicked OK... What was the use of keeping a permission that she didn't know what it was used for? She might as well sell it directly, at least she could make money. ah.
[System notification: The player has opened the "Wild Rice Porridge" permission and will receive a reward of 100 gold coins. 】
Lu Xi glanced at it and thought it was 100 copper coins. Just as he was about to say that the game system was too expensive, he was suddenly stunned and suddenly raised his head to look again.
The word "gold coins" flashed into Lu Xi's eyes, and her face was filled with a smile that couldn't be concealed.
Gold coins? ! I just opened the permission for a recipe to the system, and I got such a big surprise. It's great.
What if she makes more recipes that are not in the system...?
There are some references to farm games, but they are not copied. They are all secondary magic modifications.
The main thing is to give myself a structure so that I don’t go astray when writing.
So far, the effect seems to be good. I don’t feel that the writing is broken anywhere, and the plot is all as expected.
