Back to the wooden house.
Mcgee, who had been busy the whole morning, lay on the straw mat, not wanting to move at all.
Feeling the hard straw mat under him, Mcgee thought about the biting cold wind last night.
The three-day novice protection period had already pa.s.sed by more than half, and time was tight. Mcgee could only seize the moment and prepare everything as best as possible to face the unknown dangers.
Looking down at his ragged clothes, Mcgee decided to make himself a woolen sweater first.
Wool coat blueprint.
Required items: Sheepskin (5/1)
“Do you want to learn?”
The system notification sounded.
Mcgee said without hesitation, “Learn!”
“System notification: You have used the wool coat blueprint and learned the method to make the wool coat.”
Mcgee took out all the sheepskin again and read silently,
“Make the wool coat.”
A whole white light lit up and surrounded the sheepskin.
“System Notification: You have successfully made the wool coat × 5.”
The mysterious white light disappeared, and five equally sized wool coats appeared in front of Mcgee.
Mcgee picked one up and looked at it carefully.
The wool coat was very soft, and the system processed the leather without the slightest smell of mutton.
Most importantly, the fur was good at keeping warm!
But it was noon now, so Mcgee did not plan on putting it on now, and he put it away.
Looking at the straw mat on the ground, Mcgee frowned.
Then he took out another drawing.
The blueprint for making a comfortable bed.
Required items: Cowhide (4/2), sheepskin (12/4), Wood (1356/1000).
“Do you want to study?”
Mcgee looked at the straw mat on the ground and did not hesitate to study the blueprint!
A burst of white light lit up. After a moment, a small wooden house appeared with a large bed made of brown cowhide and wood.
The moment he saw the big bed.
Mcgee could not wait to lie down and enjoy the long-lost softness and comfort.
He could not help but sigh, “So comfortable!”
At this time, the little Spirit Fox could not help but jump up.
It also curled up beside Mcgee with a face of enjoyment.
Mcgee looked at the little Spirit Fox in front of him and suddenly remembered that he had not activated the second attribute for it yet.
So Mcgee quickly took out the thumb-sized core crystal that was constantly emitting emerald green light from his inventory.
When the little Spirit Fox saw the core crystal, it immediately squatted down beside Mcgee and kept wagging its big furry tail behind it.
Mcgee gently threw the gra.s.s-type core crystal in his hand toward the little spirit Fox and said,
“This is your reward!”
The little Spirit Fox jumped up and swallowed the gra.s.s-type crystal core in one gulp.
Just like last time, the little Spirit Fox fell into a deep sleep after her expression twisted in pain.
A layer of emerald-green barrier wrapped around the little Spirit Fox like a chrysalis.
A moment later.
“Meoruw!”
A lazy cry sounded.
The barrier on the little Spirit Fox’s body suddenly disappeared.
A second tail grew out from behind the little Spirit Fox, and the entire tail appeared emerald green.
At the same time, one of the little Spirit Fox’s pupils also turned emerald green.
“System Notification: Your little Spirit Fox taming beast has successfully awakened its second attribute, gra.s.s attribute, and obtained a new skill, ‘Force of Nature’!”
“System Notification: Your little Spirit Fox’s loyalty + 5.”
[System Notification: Currently, your tamed beast has defeated 99% of other tamed beasts. Please continue to work hard to maintain your advantage!]
After Mcgee heard it, he quickly opened the little Spirit Fox’s attribute panel. The attributes on it had indeed changed.
Name: Dual-Element Spirit Fox
Level: Lvl 2
Attributes: Fire, gra.s.s!
Skills: Bite, claw attack, Red Flame, power of nature!
[Red Flame: Summons a cl.u.s.ter of blazing flames. When it hits the enemy, it will cause an explosion and burn effect.]
[Power of Nature: Spirit Fox is a natural-born child of the forest. After using the power of nature, it can rapidly increase the growth rate of plants. It can also, to a certain extent, pacify the frightened tameable beast.]
[Number of uses today: 1]
[Hidden attribute: Quality: Silver]
[Unactivated attribute: Water!]
[Loyalty: 75]
[Likes: Likes hunting, adventuring, and playing.]
[Advantages: High evolution potential, strong enough early attack.]
After seeing the little Spirit Fox’s new skill, Mcgee was immediately overjoyed.
This time, he could finally start his own farming journey.
A blueprint suddenly appeared in Mcgee’s hand.
Mcgee turned his head and said to the little Spirit Fox, “Let’s go.”
…
Mcgee brought the little Spirit Fox to the wasteland behind the wooden house.
On this wasteland, there were many broad-leaved trees, seriously obstructing the vision of the surrounding area.
To better observe the surrounding situation, to avoid the tameable beats hiding within to ambush him.
Therefore, Mcgee decided to turn this place into a piece of farmland.
Mcgee raised the blueprint in his hand.
Basic Farmland Blueprint: After use, it will open up a piece of the lowest level farmland, which can grow some simple crops.
After confirming that he had selected the forest, Mcgee said in a low voice,
“Use the blueprint!”
“System Notification: You have used the basic farmland blueprint. The farmland is opening up.”
A huge white barrier descended from the sky and instantly covered the entire forest.
The small forest immediately underwent an earth-shattering change.
The trees fell to the ground one after another, and the weeds were uprooted. Then, it started to drizzle again. The land within the barrier instantly started to ferment and expand like dough.
When all the dust settled, and the barrier disappeared, the land had already been plowed.
However, there were still many weeds and trees on the land that had been plowed.
Mcgee looked at a large amount of debris in the farmland and said with a headache, “With so many weeds and trees, it’s obviously unrealistic to rely on one’s own manpower to move them.”
After thinking for a while, Mcgee decided to burn the weeds on the spot.
After the weeds were burned, the ashes of the plants could be used to fertilize the land. He knew this as he read that ancient people would plow and burn the land to make sure the soil is fertilized hundreds of years ago.
Hence, Mcgee turned his head and said to the little Spirit Fox beside him, “We have to ignite all the weeds.”
After the little Spirit Fox heard this, she nodded her head obediently.
Then, her tail raised high and waved in the air.
In the air, a round flame the size of a table suddenly appeared and was burning fiercely.
After Mcgee saw that he had gathered enough energy, he said to the little Spirit Fox, “Fire!”
“We don’t need to create an explosion. We need to ignite it. Fire!”
The little Spirit Fox swung its tail, and the huge ball of fire above its head immediately whistled towards the pile of weeds.
“Boom!”
The blazing fireball immediately ignited all the trees and weeds on the ground.
The raging fire soared into the sky and mercilessly devoured everything around it.
Mcgee picked up the little Spirit Fox and brought the curious baby away from the fire.
When the weeds and trees on the ground were all burnt out, the fire gradually died down.
On the fire, there were many red charcoals left after the burning of many tree trunks.
Mcgee was a little puzzled when he saw it. “Is this charcoal?”
Driven by his curiosity, Mcgee slowly approached the fire with the high temperature.
[System Notification: Danger ahead, please do not get too close.]
[System Notification: You have found semi-finished charcoal, do you want to collect it?]
When Mcgee heard this, sure enough, the wood left behind after the trunk burned up could already be considered charcoal.
Charcoal was a good thing to keep warm with.
With charcoal, even when he slept at night, he would not be exposed to the smoke from the stove, which made his tears flow.
Mcgee had already been tortured by the smoke last night, and when he woke up, his eyes were swollen.
So, Mcgee quickly took action. He wanted to collect all the charcoal before it was completely burned out.
…
After a round of work, Mcgee was already sweating profusely, and his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.
But the harvest was also very considerable.
In his inventory, there was already semi-finished charcoal.
Semi-finished charcoal × 20.
[Semi-finished charcoal that has not been properly processed has low durability, but it is very easy to ignite.]
Mcgee looked at the farmland that had been completely opened up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
The fertile black soil looked so tempting under the sunlight.
It was like a huge piece of black chocolate, making people drool.
But Mcgee knew that this piece of land was much more precious than chocolate!
Mcgee estimated that this piece of land should be about 20 square meters.
It was enough for him to grow many things.
But now that he did not have any seeds, Mcgee thought for a while and could only look at the trading community.
Maybe there would be a surprise for him.
