Chapter 9: (9) is an auspicious number
Continuing to stick torches in the wall, Akai and I walked in the narrow mine road, the mine road is winding all the way, there are no rules at all, fortunately there is only one road for the time being, if there are more caves, there will be a danger of getting lost, and underground, if there is not enough torch lighting where you can't see your fingers, it is definitely a terrifying existence, even if there are no demons and monsters, just these dark caves that don't know where they will lead, it is enough to make people feel fear in their hearts.

Happily, I am not alone at the moment, and I will not be alone, because my dear friends are with me, and we are exploring this mine together, exploring our unknown future.
"Hey! Look at it, the color of this stone is different from other stones, and there are some bright brown markings on it. I'm betting on a piece of mutton, it's definitely iron! Akai walked ahead, slowly scanning the stone wall around him, including the stone wall overhead, among the uneven stone wall, a block suddenly appeared that was different from other stones, like a firefly in the darkness. Akai raised the torch in his hand and walked quickly to the side door of the block, and I followed.
"Dig it out and see if it's iron, this is the first piece of iron we've ever harvested. Sure enough, the world is bright. Although he said uncertain words, his heart was already very happy. Akai handed me the torch in his hand, and then eagerly picked up the manuscript and dug it up.
‘bong! bong! bong! Unlike the sound of hitting stones, we who had been looking for iron ore for a long time couldn't help but feel more and more energetic, and the tense emotions that had been tense after being attacked by the two-meter-tall zombie were finally relaxed.
After a while, Akai had knocked the mineral down, and we repeatedly confirmed whether it was iron ore, but we weren't sure for sure.
"I brought wood, now I'll make a workbench and make a stove out, let's just burn it to see if it's iron ore!" Decisively, I took out the wood. "Oh yes~ There is more than one piece below, I'll keep digging, you hurry up and burn it!" Akai shouted, morale +2
The dividing line of the burning thing --
After Akai and I stared at the stove for half an hour, under our expectant eyes, a piece of iron ingot in the furnace was fired.
"Yay!"
"Yo Xi!"
Touching each other's fists, and then clapping each other's hands on the ground, a milestone in the world's first fired iron ingot, giving us the ability to fight monsters head-on from today onwards - sharp, sturdy weapons, and hard armor.
After being happy, we packed up the furnace and the five iron ingots we had fired, and we continued to the deep tunnel. Along the way, as we went deeper into the ground, we harvested about 20 pieces of iron ore piecemeal, which is really a gratifying harvest. Originally, we wanted to continue exploring, but we found that we didn't have enough torches, so we had to give up and follow the torches planted in the wall along the way back to the ground.
Since I had made the stairs before coming down, the depth of the mine was nothing to us, and we were back in the cavern on the surface before we were exhausted.
"Ah~~~~ I finally breathe fresh air again, I'm almost suffocated down there for so long." As soon as I came up, I lay down on the sheepskin, Akai looked like he didn't want to move anymore, but my spirit was not bad, at least I saw the twenty-five iron ores we harvested and five fired iron ingots, and my mood was better than ever.
I put the iron ore in the furnace, stuffed some charcoal under the stone stove, and then lit the flame with flint and steel, and watched the process of slowly forming iron ore into iron ingots under the rules of the world, I couldn't help but sigh at the magic of this world. Suddenly a gust of wind blew in from outside the cave, and I shivered, walked over to the burned bonfire, and took a moment to relight it. Akai lay on the sheepskin next to me, he was so tired that he had been digging for stones for almost a day.
"Hehe, it seems that the materials are enough for us to build a home, as long as I can fire these cobblestones." I checked the box and found that there were already 9 sets of stones inside, so I took them all out and put the two sets of stones into two stoves and lit a fire.
Minecraft Common Sense: It is important to have 5 pieces of iron at the beginning, which you can use to make an iron bucket and a pair of scissors. The iron bucket is used to hold water, and when you go deep into the ground to mine, you will sometimes encounter magma, at this time, you can douse the lava with water, and the scissors are used to shear sheep, and the sheared wool is used to make a bed, so that you can spend the night safely and quickly.
Walking to the door of the cave, I found that it was now a bright moon, the bright moonlight sprinkled on this grassland, the quiet night was refreshing, and the sheep had fallen asleep under the beautiful starry sky. With the brilliance of the moon, such a beautiful scenery appeared in front of my eyes.
Looking around, I couldn't find the monster, so I dragged my tired body back into the cave, and plugged the hole by the way.
――――No words all night――――
Early the next morning, I pried open the stone at the entrance of the cave, and Akai and I walked out of the cave, and the bright light for a moment made me can't help but cover the sun with my hands, and it seems that it is a good day today.
I took all the stone materials in the chest that I could carry, and the cobblestones had been fired into stones while we were sleeping last night, and then I made them into stone bricks. The 9 sets of stone brick materials allow me to build a good home, at least the first floor of the home can be built.
Under the laws of this world, only building materials can resist the gravity of the world, but they cannot be placed out of thin air, and must be extended to the past. For example, if I have a circle of walls, if I want to lay a ceiling, then I can only start from the edges and lay them from left to right or right to left, and it is impossible to build a pavilion in the sky. Although this world is seriously unscientific, there are not many places that are too unscientific, and they are always within the scope of what we can accept.
Walking to the open space by the river, this relatively large and good geographical location of the open space has become my first choice for building a home.
"Akai, let's clear the grass from this land first, I want to see how I can distribute this flat land, this grass is too much of a hindrance." With that, I started weeding
"Now let's wait for you to build your home quickly, and then we can go and find food, and we can't sit and eat all the time." Akai bent down and pulled up a patch of grass.
"I know, but I haven't found the whereabouts of wild wheat seeds so far, ah, ah, hurry up and show me wheat seeds, dare you give me a seed, even if it's a seed, I can grow a large field." Dangling and pulling the grass, my resentment soared into the sky.
"There's a saying, give me a lever and I'll pry up the earth. Now I'm giving me a seed, and I can make countless seeds. ”
Today is probably our lucky day, when we have almost cleared this clearing, Akai found a seed from there, "Asha, Asha, come and see, this should be wheat seed, right?" He excitedly shouted to me over, and even brought me with me to get excited. After checking it again, I said that the appearance of the wheat seed was not different from the original game, so I was able to recognize it.
I immediately took a workbench out of my backpack and placed it by the river, then made a stone hoe, plowed a field by the river, and scattered the seeds. "Really... too lucky, or are we here to do it today?" When I was done, I lay down in the open space and rested, looking at the sky, it was noon.
"That's, don't look at who I am, it seems that my luck is obviously higher than yours." Sitting down next to me with an ostentatious face, Akai took water and mutton out of his backpack - it was time for lunch.
After eating and drinking, we rested for a while and got down to business. I asked Akai to fill all the empty wooden bowls with water and go boil the water, and I gave him the scissors and told him to shear the wool when he had nothing to do. And I started the great business of building.
The so-called high-rise building rises from the ground, first of all, I still have to confirm the size of the home, or according to my previous construction style, the size is 20 meters long and wide, and the height is 6 meters, which is the size of the space on each floor. For the time being, I can only do this with the first layer, because the materials are not enough, so I can build the second layer together. Thanks to the blessings of this world, there is no need to lay a foundation when building a building, and the stones are placed on the ground and left untouched by wind and rain, as if they were there in the first place, unless they are knocked down or blasted.
I first circled the square to determine the size, that is, the length and width of 20 blocks, and then started from the four corners and built it upwards, first around a two-meter-high wall. Then on the opposite side of the wall near the river, that is, on the side facing away from the river, reserve two blocks of space for the door to be set up later.
When I finished the general framework, I saw Akai coming out of the cave, and it seemed that Akai had moved all the contents of the cave here.
"The bed was ready. Where should I put it? Forget it, here you go. "Akai told me the good news as soon as he came, I jumped off the wall that had not yet been built, and two meters of height was nothing to me. Putting away the bed, I found a place, and in the corner to the right of the entrance to the house, I put two wooden beds side by side, and spread a thick layer of wool. A large bed consisting of two beds can sleep at least 4 people if squeezed in, but since there are only two people now, Akai and I, so that's it, it's good to have a bed to sleep in.
I took out the two wooden doors from my backpack and placed them where I had placed them. Then in the left corner, a large box was placed, and next to it was a crafting table. Akai placed three more stoves next to the workbench.
At this point, a rough prototype of the home was completed, and when I had filled in the walls and finished the ceiling, a flat house appeared.
