Chapter 16: The Dawn Before Darkness

"Good stuff here?" When Fu Bin saw it, he was very excited, and no matter what the first or last sunrise, he hurriedly activated the short sword and helped Xiao Mao dig down together. A few minutes later, a stone the size of half a skull, covered with mahjong-sized pale green spar, appeared in front of him, because there was sunlight now, so there was no luminescence, but this was obviously a piece of glauconite ore aggregate, five or six kilograms, but mixed with a lot of impurities.

Fu Bin was overjoyed, if this piece of glauconite is made into a standard version, there should be more than a dozen units, and if you trade with others, it will be worth at least more than 200 contribution points, and you will have positive assets all of a sudden. However, in order to work hard to improve your strength in the coming winter, it is best to keep it for your own cultivation.

The auxiliary pet that was bought for 30 points of contribution actually made a lot of money, and in order to reward Xiao Mao, Fu Bin gave it the remaining two mouthfuls of nutrient solution. Although it is strange to be able to pick up such a large spar at the edge of the base, it is not incomprehensible, because the life of the people here is very regular, few people will wander around this place, and the occasional person who comes here to do a task will not bring a pet that can find the spar, let alone dig around the base, which causes the result of this kind of dark light.

Fu Bin thought about it again, took out the entropy array, put this huge ore on it, and then turned on the entropy energy storage function of the entropy array. This is another main function of the entropy array, when people go out on adventures, they often find spars, but they can't carry too much, so they can directly use the entropy array to extract and store the entropy energy in the hedrons, and return to the base for reuse.

This process will volatilize some of the entropy energy, Fu Bin doesn't want to waste it, so he cultivates directly on the side. I was about to start meditating according to the primary guidance model, when I suddenly changed my mind to the method described in the second-level "Starlight Settlement", which simultaneously sensed the radiation of the scorcite and the rising sunlight, and fused the energy of the two. Although there are not a few stars in the sky, you can imagine it.

This time, the feeling was obviously different from using the primary guidance model, and the energy body perceived first was much more complicated, which made it take Fu Bin a while to get used to it. However, the entropy energy increased by this method is also much purer, in professional terms, the entropy value is lower. If the original entropy energy was a piece of natural diamond, now it is like a processed diamond.

The sense of time in meditation was difficult to grasp, and I don't know how long it took, Fu Bin felt a change, and woke up, and found that the entropy array showed that the stored entropy energy was 13 units, and the huge glauconite had turned into a bleak waste slag. This waste residue recycling is also worth a few contribution points, but such a large piece, it is too eye-catching to take back, and it is directly smashed into a pile of small pieces, and then put it in the bag. The backpack sank all at once.

When I looked up, I found that the sun had risen high, and the color was no longer so red, but golden, and much smaller. However, it may be the season, this sunshine is not blazing, only a little ambiguous. And the giant moon has also followed the sun and exposed the earth's plane.

At this time, the giant moon and the sun rise from the same direction, the sun is in front, the giant moon is behind, closely following, when the sun is slowly caught up by the giant moon and completely obscured, it is the beginning of the polar night.

Fu Bin looked at the time and found that it had only been more than ten minutes since he had cultivated, which was completely opposite to the sense of time of the last time he had cultivated, which made him very confused. After thinking about it, this should be a matter of the amount of information, no matter how long the cultivation takes, because there are a lot of repetitive perceptions in meditation, the information is simplified, and the consciousness only remembers the more special information, and when meditating, there can be no superfluous distractions such as a few times, so the sense of time is almost the same, but in fact, the time that passes in the outside world may vary greatly, so there is also a timing function on the entropy array, so as not to make mistakes.

There were no other discoveries in the future, and the energy nodes were all normal, but Fu Bin found that the edge of the base was not all Gobi, and there was a coniferous forest to the east, and those coniferous trees were not much different from the "ancestors" on the earth from a distance. There is a glacial mountain range in the north, the steep snow peaks have a chilling feeling, there is a lake about ten kilometers away, but now it is frozen, the scenery there makes Fu Bin a little fascinated, and he has the opportunity to want to see it.

Back at the base, Fu Bin first threw the discarded crushed spar to the recycling station and exchanged it for 12 contribution points. I've finished cleaning the base again, and it's almost noon. I went to Eva and handed in two tasks, and I changed two bags of nutrient solution, and now the contribution value is -104, which is a little more generous.

After not sleeping or taking a bath for nearly a day and a night, Fu Bin felt a little tired, but thinking about it, he had time to rest for more than ten days. And today's day will be very short, about three hours away, the giant moon in the sky will catch up with the sun, and the polar night will begin. However, the weather will not be too cold at first, so during this time, I still try to earn some contribution points.

Due to the particularity of today's date, the base is much more lively than yesterday, and many people did not go out or came back early for the sake of safety. Moreover, on the Gobi Desert on the periphery of the base, there are also many people hunting small creatures nearby. These creatures are not often seen, and no one particularly cares, only the day before the polar night comes, because the creatures on the side also know that the base is warmer and safer, they will gather here. At this point, there may be a safety hazard to the energy nodes of the dome, especially those creatures that burrow into the ground, so the base will also issue a mission to remove these creatures.

At this time, the perimeter of the base is generally relatively safe, but the biggest trouble is the competition between people. Fu Bin also started his second trip around the base with the mentality of trying his luck, but this time it was outside the dome.

Fu Bin hunched his little hair and walked towards the north, where there were few people. This time, after walking for nearly a kilometer, there was no gain, and the creatures either ran fast or were taken first. But he just came to see the scenery, and he was not in a hurry.

Sometimes luck is like that, the calmer you are, the more it will come to you. Xiao Mao suddenly jumped off the ground again, jumping up and down in front of a small hole in the ground. This hole is very small, less than 10 centimeters in diameter, and it is at most a creature the size of a hyena, but Fu Bin does not dislike it, and digs it at the entrance of the cave with his sword.

It was only about 50 meters away from the edge of the dome, and someone on the side saw him digging something, and he also ran over to look, and when Fu Bin turned around, he found that this person was actually Emperor Yan. Fu Bin nodded at him, and then continued to dig the hole by himself, in fact, he was a little afraid that Emperor Yan would rob this prey, but it seemed that this guy's quality was not too bad, and he didn't seem to have this meaning.

His windfall is all by digging, and it seems that he will have to prepare a set of digging tools in the future. The land here is gravel and dirt, which is a bit troublesome to dig up, and the gravel will always fall into the hole, but fortunately, it doesn't take long for the small hole to become horizontal, and the hole mouth is getting bigger and bigger.

But I don't know how deep this hole is, and it doesn't seem to be a way to dig like this, just thinking about it, Xiao Mao got into the hole. Fu Bin hurriedly stopped, then opened the pet control software on his mobile phone, and found that the light point representing Xiao Mao circled in a spiral about two meters underground, and then slowly walked back. It looks like it's stopping and walking, and it seems to be dragging something.

After a few minutes, Xiao Mao finally withdrew from the hole, holding a larger ...... in his mouth, more than twenty centimeters long Hypertrophic meat worms! The flesh worm was still writhing violently, spitting out some cream-like paste from its mouth.

Fu Bin was startled, he was a little afraid of this kind of soft insect, so he didn't dare to go up and touch it. But Xiao Mao seemed to be quite sensible, and after dragging the insects out, he didn't go up to bite them, but began to eat the cream-like paste that the insects spit out of their mouths on the ground, which made Fu Bin sick to his stomach for a while.

Calm down, and recall the information on the primary information, this insect should be called the bread fat worm, which is the larval form of the moth, feeding on tiny creatures underground, and there is no danger to people. This bug is not low, although it weighs less than a kilogram, it is nothing according to the recycling value, but it is a delicious ingredient, and you can exchange it for 10 contribution points when you sell one to the bar, as well as an additional 2 quest rewards.

It is said that after baking, it is charred and crispy, and has a natural creamy flavor that does not need to be added to any seasonings, and it is a supreme delicacy that is rarely found on earth. And this bug is not common, so the bar sells 30 contribution points and a toast worm, and it is immediately snatched away. Thinking about the eating conditions here, it is indeed difficult to have the opportunity to eat delicious food, even a person like Fu Bin, who is not very passionate about food, only held back for a day, and felt that his mouth was faint, for those foodies, such a delicacy is simply a dream.

But Fu Bin is a little worried now, he is a little afraid to get started with this thing, how to deal with it?

At this time, Emperor Yan on the side suddenly spoke: "Brother Bing, is it okay to give me 15 contribution points of this bread worm?" ”

When Fu Bin heard this, he immediately nodded and said, "Yes!" ”

Emperor Yan didn't expect Fu Bin to be so happy as he promised, he was stunned for a moment, said thank you, then paid the points, carefully picked up the insect and put it in the backpack, and then ran away quickly, as if he was in a hurry.

Fu Bin was curious, and he was also walking in that direction, so he slowly followed. After walking for about two or three hundred meters, I saw a fire flickering behind a big rock in front of me, this polar night is about to begin, who is still camping there?

Fu Bin walked around the boulder, pretending to pass by carelessly, and then pretended to glance at it in surprise, and then he almost broke out in a cold sweat!

A beautiful woman was staring at him with cold eyes that were ready to cut him off, like she was looking at a rascal with bad intentions, who else was not Yun Huaxue. But I don't know why, Yun Huaxue sat a little far away from the fire, and there was no fire there at all. And Emperor Yan was roasting the fat worm on the fire with his sword, and he also looked at Fu Bin with a very unfriendly look, and he didn't know why these two people were so vigilant.

However, another figure on the side immediately attracted Fu Bin's attention, this is a girl who is very similar to Eva, curvy, delicate and cute, but her temperament is not Eva's down-and-out generosity, but a little ignorant feeling, she is sitting on a stone, her legs are tightly together, her hands are on her knees, her eyes are staring at the fat worm, and the corners of her mouth seem to be drooling.

Fu Bin's gaze fell on her high bulging chest, and sure enough, it was not numbered, and it was ...... It's beautiful! The girl immediately noticed his gaze, and glanced at a cute misty look, and was a little wary.
