Chapter 3: Underground Exploration
The pitch-black environment made Hao Meng feel a little relieved, the soft soil under his feet, and he stroked the dirt a few times, "poof", and then his feet were empty, and his body fell down a grid.
Hao Meng kept digging down in the dark, and he didn't know how many layers he fell, and the excavation speed began to slow down, and the blocks that could be destroyed in a few clicks now became a long time to destroy.
[The anchor picks up stones with his bare hands, doesn't he use a wooden pick? ]
[I'm black-screen?] ]
[The anchor puts a torch in it, I can't see clearly.] ]
Hao Meng opened the backpack menu, and there was only a bunch of log materials and earth cubes in it.
She broke down all the logs into blocks to create a boxy workbench.
[Achievement: This is?] Workbench! ]
Dig out a block of space and put down the crafting table, and start working on the crafting of a wooden pickaxe.
Craft two sticks, then use three planks to shape a pickaxe on the crafting table, instantly turning into a wooden pickaxe.
Hao Meng put away the workbench and continued to dig vertically downward with a wooden pickaxe in his hand.
With the tools, the excavation progress was much faster, and the wooden pickaxe rotted halfway through, and a stone pickaxe was remade from the excavated cobblestone, which was even more powerful.
Just as she was digging hard, her feet suddenly emptied, and the whole person fell to the ground heavily.
It was pitch black all around, and the sound of running water could be faintly heard, Hao Meng hurriedly opened his backpack and used the extra wooden sticks and the coal he had just dug up along the way to synthesize a few torches and stick them on the ground.
As the light illuminated the space, Hao Meng found himself in an empty cave, with a stone on a nearby wall glowing with a shiny metallic sheen in the dim light of torches.
"Iron Ore!" Hao Meng said in surprise.
Picking up the stone pickaxe, she happily knocked down the iron ore and continued to dig, and sure enough, she dug up a few more iron ores.
Finally from the Stone Age to the Iron Age!
Freshly mined iron ore cannot be directly synthesized and used, and needs to be fired and processed into iron ingots before it can be used.
A stone furnace is made out of a few cobblestones, thrown into a coal point, and then burned to make an iron block.
Eventually, she crafted an iron sword and pickaxe from the burned iron, and decided to use it as a temporary base for further exploration.
Following the sound of the water, Hao Meng found that it was a natural underground river, and the gurgling water extended down the sloping ground to the depths of the ground.
"Uhhh
From time to time, the hollow and dark underground let out a cry that sent chills down Hao Meng's spine, and it was obvious that there was something strange down there.
"That...... It occurred to me that I forgot to turn off the furnace fire...... I'll go back and turn off the fire first......"
Hao Meng gave herself an excuse and wanted to run away.
[Give me back!] What's the matter, the anchor is on! ]
[The three beeps are now going to be four.] ]
[2333β¦β¦ I'm convinced of this reason! God he meows off the fire. ]
[I won't help anyone with this beep, I'll help you......]
"Hey, hey......"
Hao Meng had no choice but to hold a torch in his hand, and bravely went down the water by the faint light of the fire, and cautiously came to the depths of the ground, looking through the light of the torch, it was a zombie struggling in the water that made a strange sound.
Fortunately, there was a current of water washing the zombie, and it wanted to go up against the current to catch Hao Meng, but it could only stand still in the water, unable to move an inch.
Sticking the torch on the stone wall on the side, Hao Meng put on a stone sword and mustered up the courage to slash at the zombie.
"Yikes! I'm fighting with you! Hao Meng closed his eyes, and the iron sword waved wildly and kept smashing on the zombie's head.
"Bang bang bang...... Jingle bellsβ"
The poor zombie struggled in the water for a long time, and finally contributed a few experience orbs and a piece of carrion.
After picking up the dropped items, Hao Meng noticed that his experience bar had increased a little, and the experience bar above it had also dropped to about half.
"Oops! I came down without anything to eat, could it be that I could only eat carrion? β
Although there is a certain chance of poisoning by eating carrion, Hao Meng decided to take a gamble.
"Click......"
There was no expected anomaly, but her satiety had increased a bit, and she knew that she was lucky this time.
"Whew-"
Before he could sigh, the sound of sucking noodles suddenly sounded, followed by the creepy sound of crawling on his hands and feet.
Hao Meng mustered up the courage to feel in the direction where the voice came from, which was a tunnel-like cavern, and the entrance of the cave was covered with cobwebs.
Hao Meng came to the cave ** peeked inside through the cobweb, and saw a group of green cave spiders surrounding in a circle, protecting a monster spawner in the center, and a small spider in the cage was spinning weirdly and crazily.
"It's scary......"
The spider's scarlet eyes scanned the surroundings vigilantly, and Hao Meng hurriedly retracted, she didn't think that these hideous-looking creatures could get along with her.
[Monster spawner!] It's time to farm spider thread and experience! ]
[2333β¦β¦ I don't know if it's good luck or bad luck, it can all happen. ]
[Visual inspection to GG......]
Hao Meng naturally wouldn't rush up to face this group of spiders, not to mention that there was a numerical advantage on the other side of this small space, and these spider webs alone had the negative effect of slowing down.
When she peeked at her, she noticed that the spider cave seemed to be a cliff on the other side, and there happened to be a river next to it, so she immediately had a plan.
She pulled out rocks and built a dam to block the river, and the rushing water forcibly diverted its course, and the only way out became the spider cave, into which the water poured into it.
The cobwebs turned into spider silk and fell off the water, and the cave spiders were swept down the cliffs like trash from the sewers, leaving only the monster spawner still in place.
Hao Meng dismantled the dam to restore the river to normal, rushed into a clean cave, and filled the five sides of the monster spawner with torches to ensure that it would not be brushed away, and wiped the sweat from his forehead to feel at ease.
The reason she's so desperate to crack the monster spawner is because the cave wall is studded with a sparkling diamond.
The iron pickaxe struck the diamond mine, and the ore shattered into several diamond shards and fell to the ground.
Happily putting away the diamond, Hao Meng noticed that the gap in the square where the diamond was excavated just now revealed a glimmer of light, and he could vaguely see that there seemed to be another space inside.
"Huh? Is this a wall? β
Continuing to excavate this stone wall, Hao Meng broke through the wall and entered it, and found that it was a mine cave.
There was a straight track on the ground, torches were inserted in the walls, there seemed to be a minecart on the railroad tracks in the distance, and on the other side was a hot lava lake, the churning magma bubbling endlessly.
"Squeak Squeak ......"
At this time, a large group of bats flew head-on in the mine, and Hao Meng squatted on the ground with his head in fright.
[Luckily, I was able to dig a mine instead of lava.] ]
[Hint!] There's good stuff in the minecart! ]
[2333β¦β¦ Is this the second lady holding her head and squatting? ]
[Beware of lava......]
Hao Meng settled down, walked along the railroad tracks to the minecart, and found a wooden box in the cart.
"There shouldn't be a treasure mimic in this game......" Hao Meng said to himself cautiously.
Carefully opening the box and looking inside, the contents almost blinded her.
Diamond X64
Enchanted golden apples
saddle
[Is this the creative mode that the anchor is on?] ]
[Nest grass!] Emperor Ou! A whole set of diamonds! ]
[Yes, it's directly pretended...... Plus the golden apple is invincible......]
To be reasonable, Hao Meng is also stupid by this luck now, and feels that he has run out of luck in his life.
I can't wait to put the contents of the box into my backpack, and even the minecart and the box are all gone.
"Whew-"
"Huh?"
A cave spider suddenly fell from the sky and landed just in front of Hao Meng, it raised its head and stared at Hao Meng.
She suddenly remembered that in this game, spiders are immune to fall damage and can climb walls at 90 degrees......
"Is it possible...... You've just been washed down by me...... Ahh
The cave spider didn't seem to want to talk nonsense with Hao Meng, and flew and pushed her into the hot magma lake behind her.
"Huh? Huh? Huh? β
Hao Meng is now on fire, her blood volume has dropped wildly, and she hasn't had time to eat the fire-resistant golden apple in a hurry, and with the sound of "boom" burning items, the screen suddenly went dark.
[You're dead]
β¦β¦
The live broadcast room exploded instantly, and the screen was full of barrages.
[666666666β¦β¦]
[This wave can, spider remnants kill back.] ]
[This spider can play ......]
[Distressed anchor, hahahaha...... No, I'll laugh first......]
[o(*β§β½β¦)γβββLaughing at the table]
[The anchor speaks...... Why is it silent? ]
[The most terrifying thing is the sudden silence of the air......]
Hao Meng took a deep breath, stabilized his emotions, and silently clicked on the rebirth option.
As soon as the screen lit up, Hao Meng instantly returned to the earthly world.
The sky is still so blue, the grass is still so green, it is still the original birth point, and it is still the funny-looking pig, Hao Meng's body is empty.
ββ¦β¦β
"Hmph-"
The pink pig turned its head to look at Hao Meng, which was clearly mocking.
"Today's live broadcast is here first...... In the future, I will have the opportunity to give you a live broadcast of how to make tonkatsu in the game. β
Hao Meng's tone was surprisingly calm, glancing at the number of followers as high as 246 on the live broadcast page, and hurriedly turned off the live broadcast in a barrage of "good night" and "rest early".
"My heart is so tired......"
[The current task has been completed today, reward a funny coin, open the mall, open the recording studio, and get a chance to roll the dice.] γ
Hao Meng suddenly had an extra dice in his hand, which was an ordinary dice that could no longer be ordinary.
With a shake of the little hand, the dice in his hand fell to the ground and rolled, rolled a few times, and finally stopped.
If you look closely, the dice are four dots pointing upwards.
The comical system changes in mid-air, revealing a chessboard similar to Monopoly, and a villain who looks like Hao Meng walking around the chessboard.
The villain walked past the icon of the funny X10, walked through the icon of the gift pack, walked past a pair of giant ru icons, and stopped in the fourth square.
The fourth icon is a cat's ear.
"Uh...... What is this reward? Could it be ......?"
Hao Meng felt some itching on the top of her head and buttocks, as if something had grown, and secretly screamed that something was not good, and came to the floor mirror with some trembling, and the scene in front of her almost made her faint.
"Cat...... Cat monster! β
In the mirror, a pair of cat ears of the same hair color grew on the top of her head, and she reached out and dragged them, obviously feeling pain, which was clearly on her head, not fake ears at all, and there was a white cat tail behind her buttocks.
"What to do? I really can't go out to meet people in the future, can it be that I can only stay at home in this life? If someone is found to have cat ears, they will be scratched for a biopsy. β
The inner uneasiness made the pair of cats above their heads shrug down, and the cat's tail swayed restlessly, looking in the mirror, it was clearly a live cat-eared Lori.
[The current moe value is +2, and the moe value is updated to 7 points.] γ
What does it mean to cry without tears, now she has experienced it.
"Let's see what props are available in the mall, maybe they can return to their normal form."
Hao Meng had no choice but to pin his hopes on the funny system, and the picture in front of him changed, and an index table similar to a search engine appeared.
"Restore...... Restore...... Got it! β
Hao Meng finally searched for the restoration props, but the problem was that the price of the props made her smack.
Reduction Potion - Drink it to remove all transformation statuses. (One-time) price: 100 funny coins.
Now she only has a total of 1 funny coin, and if she earns 1 funny coin a day according to the worst-case scenario, she will have to save at least 100 days to buy it.
"What can you buy with this funny coin?" Hao Meng couldn't help but ask funny.
In front of me, there are a bunch of commodities.
Hao Meng just glanced at it in a hurry, and punched that funny face.
"What a joke! What the hell is this! Salted fish? Yellow eel? Soap? Lube? What the hell are you meowing, is this an aquarium or a department store! β
Even if she is angry, Hao Meng exudes cute charm everywhere, with a slightly frown and cute little tiger teeth, not to mention the cute cat ears, if you are seen, it is estimated that a group of people will be cute.
"You salted fish funny!"
