Chapter 11: Unpacking the box

According to the system's description of slimes, these sticky monsters are very afraid of fire, and fire is their weak point.

That's it!

Lin Chen quickly broke away from the slime's hatred, and then not far away, found some dead wood and dry leaves. He crumpled the leaves into a ball to make velvet and placed them on the open ground first. Then two dead logs were selected, the straighter one was stripped of its branches, one end was smoothed, and the other was used as a base plate, on which a hole was drilled, and some wood chips were cut out with an iron sword.

That's right, although Lin Chen is not a mage, he can't rub out flames, and he doesn't prepare any props that can make fire, but he can use the primitive technique - drilling wood to make fire.

He placed the base plate on the velvet, fixed it with his feet, and then placed the smoother end of the dead wood on the hole in the bottom board. He quickly turned the dead wood, and soon there was hot smoke coming out, and after a while a flame was born.

In reality, it takes skill to drill wood for fire, and it may be that ordinary people turn around for about ten minutes, and nothing happens except that their patience is worn out. But in the world of Eternity, drilling wood for fire is a simple thing that anyone can do with the right approach.

Of course, if it weren't for the conditions, Lin Chen wouldn't have bothered to use this method. Before, he had no money for his backpack, but now that he had saved up a lot of eternal silver coins, he thought that when he returned to the village, he would have to go to the grocery store first and buy special items such as flintstones.

Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Lin Chen collected the flames, and in his backpack, there was immediately an extra prop called "Weak Fire Source"-

[Weak Fire Source] (Remaining time: 3 hours 59 minutes)

Number of uses: 0/10

Valid time: 4 hours

Description: Ignition sources that can ignite some objects, though it looks like they could go out at any time.

The source of fire is there, and he also needs the carrier of the flame.

He threw the reconnaissance technique at the plants around him, and soon found a plant that could secrete oil. Then he broke off a branch with the palm of his hand just big enough to hold it, and after going to the side branch, he smeared the collected grease on one end.

Now, the improvised torch is complete.

Ignite the torch with a fire source and find the slime again. Although the slime was slow to move, it was not slow to think, and it quickly recognized Lin Chen, the guy who had troubled it before.

I saw that this slime immediately emitted some kind of subtle, somewhat like a cicada's chirping sound, and quickly secreted a corrosive liquid. After a while, its exterior seemed to be covered with a green transparent film.

Lin Chen couldn't help but suspect that if he attacked by normal means, the slime would definitely be alive and well if he went down with this sword, but whether he could survive himself had to be questioned.

Thankfully, he had the torches ready, and hopefully it would work wonders.

Lin Chen pushed the torch forward, and the heat that escaped made the slime cringe and wanted to retreat, but after all, its speed was too slow, and it could only continue to be scorched by the flames.

The slime shook his body restlessly, but to no avail.

Lin Chen found that the slime's originally soft and sticky body had a tendency to harden and transform.

Torches can also deal damage, and in "Eternity", there are many special objects that can be used by players as strategy items for monsters, and there are also some special terrain that players can also use reasonably.

However, the attribute of the torch is a consumable, not a weapon that can be reused, so it will be completely scrapped after a few uses, and the cost performance is not very high.

Even so, Lin Chen hadn't considered the idea of attacking the slime with a torch, but after he found that the slime would lose its original soft and sticky body structure after being roasted by the flames for a while, it would turn gray and hard, so he had a new idea.

Lin Chen cautiously struck the slime with the tip of his sword, feeling as if he had touched a hard object.

Seeing that the slime didn't move, he boldly knocked out a small piece of material on the side, and touched it, Lin Chen was not harmed, but there was something similar to limestone, as if the whole slime had been petrified.

Obviously, the slime's corrosive ability failed, and even the lifeforms were forced into a dormant state, completely losing the ability to resist.

After confirming this, Lin Chen no longer had any hesitation, and quickly ended the life of this slime and ended its suffering.

The experience reward of slimes is very rich, and at present, one slime can bring 6 experience points to Lin Chen, and Lin Chen took advantage of the fact that the torch was not extinguished, and hurriedly looked for other slimes as a leveling target.

In the following ten minutes, Lin Chen made three more torches, successfully eliminated more than thirty slimes, and while gaining a lot of experience, he burst out three pieces of inferior equipment. But among the equipment that was exposed, only one "Broken Cowhide Glove" seemed to have a relatively good attribute.

【Broken cowhide gloves】(Quality: Inferior)

Physical Defense: 5

Magical Defense: 3

Description: Gloves made of cowhide are very simple in appearance, but they are very durable. However, these cowhide gloves seem to have been corroded by slime body fluids, and with some damage, no one can say for sure whether they are still durable.

Equipment Level: 4

The attributes of this pair of "Broken Cowhide Gloves" are better than the attributes of the "Worn-out Bracers" equipped on the same part of his body, but the problem is that the Cowhide Gloves can only be equipped after the player's level reaches level 4, which is simply chicken ribs.

Lin Chen threw the cowhide gloves into his backpack and continued to move forward a little depressed, now he was still half the experience away from leveling up.

Of course, while he was looking for monsters, he didn't forget to pay attention to whether there were treasure chests spawned out of the vicinity.

This attention really made him find one.

In this world, treasure chests are rare one-time resources. Except for the new treasure chests that are occasionally randomly spawned in the dungeon, the treasure chest resources that exist on each map are fixed in a fixed number of locations, and will not be re-spawned after being picked up by the player.

Back then, Lin Chen played "Miracles" relatively late, and the treasure chest resources on the map were basically picked up, and only once did someone else take him to find a treasure chest, and he didn't have a chance to pick up any of the other treasure chests.

Now, he has more opportunities.

In this novice village, at this point in time, he is the only one who has the ability to step into the misty forest, and all the resources can be touched by himself.

He focused on the treasure chest, which was the lowest-level black iron treasure chest, and what was opened was a prop with a high probability of belonging to the quality of black iron.

I heard that the legendary Emperor Ou can even open items comparable to epic equipment from the black iron treasure chest.

As for Lin Chen himself, he is still quite confident in his luck, and the level of a normal person should not be too dark-faced, and he will prescribe garbage props that can't even reach the quality of black iron.

Right?

Lin Chen didn't dwell on it for too long, so he cautiously touched the treasure chest, and after reading the strip for 3 seconds, the treasure chest was successfully opened. The first thing that caught his eye was a piece of equipment without luster, and sure enough, he didn't have the luck to explode.

Whether it is black iron quality equipment or inferior quality equipment, it is the same dull equipment.

Don't be inferior equipment!

He muttered in his heart, picked up the piece of equipment and looked at it, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Sure enough, his intuition has always been very accurate, and it is the black iron equipment that looks good at first sight-

[Humble Steel Armor] (Quality: Black Iron)

Physical Defense: 8

Magical Defense: 7

Description: Armor made of black iron, although it looks very rudimentary, can still take good protection, such as defending against the attacks of some rabbits.

Equipment level: 3

Lin Chen was very satisfied with this piece of equipment, as long as he reached level 3, he could change it, making his defense go up another level.

Lin Chen didn't leave immediately, and the treasure chest not only opened equipment, but also other props.

Just as he was about to pick up the prop and take a look, he suddenly received the news that he had swept through thousands of troops.

"His grandmother's!"
