Chapter 978: Small Farming
The environment shapes people, and Zhao Wenrui finally survived until dawn, but he was also seriously affected.
In a way, he was attracted to the shadow, and he was further blackened.
Restricted by the vision and pattern, C Kane's human doppelganger does not have the kind of high-level vision of the deity during the reincarnation period, after all, the backstage of the human doppelganger is just an artificial golden finger that deliberately hides his head and tail, and the backstage of the deity back then was the Vientiane Gate system that was active and multiverse.
It is precisely because of the small pattern that Zhao Wenrui, a doppelganger of human nature, did not consider some profound issues, such as thinking about the impact of blackening on him, and the struggle of 'harnessing power, rather than being enslaved by power', and so on.
People are poor and short-sighted, and now he is thinking about how to gain strength and how to become stronger. Stimulated by the inefficient consumption of experience value that happened before, he subconsciously resisted the idea of picking, and felt that he should take risks next, and he should drip muddy waters, try his best to give full play, and try to convert resources into real power, if he really can't do it, then he will die, and even if he dies, at least he will not be aggrieved, and he will do his best, and there will be no 'people are gone, and the money is not spent'.
Under the guidance of such a core idea, he doesn't think about anything black or not. What if he becomes a villain or a cult in the eyes of ordinary people? What qualifications do they have? And why do they require him to be a good person who is beneficial to others?
To be more extreme, it can even be said that most people choose to be good people, not because of kindness, but because of weakness.
Weak and self-aware, they want to be good people, and try their best to form various forms of rules to restrain others and increase the cost of being a bad person. It is by virtue of such a method that the basic needs of collaborative survival can be fulfilled with as little harm as possible.
Well the other way around. When a person can live well without the help of others, then why is it necessary to bend to please others, or to follow the rules of others?
This is like the problem of automation replacing human labor that humans in the 21st century are worried about. Once the owners of capital realize the fully automated industrial system controlled by AI, is it still necessary to care about the mood of ordinary people? Do you still need to engage in a set of social welfare to support them? They are not required to participate in production and even social operation, and the ability to work has been replaced by automatic machinery, then it is really a difference between immortals and mortals, ordinary people love to die and live, it doesn't matter, anyway, resources are in hand, technology is in hand, and productivity is not bad......
How cruel!
Zhao Wenrui's extreme explanation has actually lifted the veil of this universe to a certain extent.
In the general magical universe, gods, transcendents, and warriors (in descending order) are in the minority after all.
A small number means that even if these people are poor and extravagant, they still have resources for ordinary people to survive.
Even, because the core resources needed for these existence do not conflict with the core resources needed by ordinary people, they can coexist in relative harmony.
But in this world, the ascension system, the transcendent system, was once extremely developed, and there was a way to advance, and theoretically everyone had the opportunity to become transcendent and become a god, and every such attempt was a kind of over-speed consumption of resources. This is the root cause of the current wasteland, and it is also a kind of transcendent loss of control.
The bottom human beings live in dire straits, which promotes the prosperity of religion, and further leads to two divisions, except for those who have become slaves who have been reduced to the output of faith to survive, the rest are basically thugs, and the mobs are divided into Gou An and subversives, in line with Zhao Wenrui's cognition of the universal sense of good people and good people do not exist, bad money drives out good money, the environment is too bad, good people and good people are dead, only people who struggle to survive.
So it's a dark world, and a lot of people seem to be okay, either they're being deceived or they think they don't have the opportunity and are forbearing.
From this point of view, Zhao Wenrui did not directly cross to a densely populated place, which is also a kind of luck, otherwise he would probably be killed.
And the current blackening is equivalent to adaptation, in addition to adapting to the natural environment of this world, but also adapting to the social environment.
It was dawn, and Zhao Wenrui was not in a hurry to make up for the san value, he felt that taking advantage of the current state to go and see the ruins of the mountain city, there might be an unexpected gain.
The idea also turned out to be great. In Shadow Vision (the perspective of a psycho with a SAN value of less than 50), the ruins of the mountain town are simply a large graveyard of ghosts roaming and full of strange shapes.
Zhao Wenrui is not afraid of gods and ghosts, he is afraid of blackening his eyes, and now that he sees the 'true face' here, he immediately feels energetic.
He was uncomfortable and spent most of the day observing. He wasn't too greedy, just the area he was familiar with, and he observed it repeatedly.
And in line with the principle that a good memory is better than a bad pen, the observed information is recorded through the three-in-one method of words, numbers, and pictures.
In the afternoon, he went to collect the bodies of the hyenas. The weirdness in the ruins has no interest in flesh and blood, but in his hands, it is a very valuable means of production and living resources.
In fact, all spellcasters take 'knowledge' as their primary productive force.
It's just that the way to obtain it is different, and the degree of mastery is also different, and the users of the secret method represented by the mage rely on themselves for everything, with the least amount of water, and mastering it is mastering.
And the holy law fighters represented by the priests mainly rely on the backstage, and they are more bullish than standing on the shoulders of giants, which is about this kind of situation where God is the backer.
What is often said in the secret method system is that 'what is completely controlled by oneself is truly one's own, and there is no need to look at anyone's face.' ’
On the other hand, the Holy Dharma system always emphasizes that 'practicality is king', life is short, but it is only a few decades of cold and summer, and there is no end to learning, and you can't grasp it all your life, so you should focus on doing things. It's like every driver doesn't have to know the details of how the car works, and even has the ability to change and innovate.
And the knowledge of the druids, which is somewhere in between, has to be self-taught, but the blessing of the power of nature has made ordinary people become scholars.
Zhao Wenrui enjoys the beauty of becoming a top student.
What he enjoys even more is that Goldfinger is equivalent to a giant, and "Nature's Treasure Book" is like an analysis device, which can provide relevant information in real time, and what he needs to do is to integrate and apply what he has learned.
Like this hyena monster, after he dragged the corpse, it was shown in the "Treasure Book of Nature", called Ling, which belonged to strange monsters.
This means that the meat, for the average person, is inedible.
Even if it is a druid, it is not suitable for regular consumption, which will cause the accumulation of negative sedimentation, affect physical fitness, and even cause permanent damage.
Of course, after a series of means, there is basically no problem.
Or as protein feed, dry and grind, feed some animals, and use the strong poison filtering ability of those beasts to eliminate the negative impact.
The vocal cords of the spirit are magic materials, the stomach is also very toxic, and the liver and lungs are extremely toxic, even if they are just dried and ground into powder, they can also be used as radiation, and a little stain on the skin is a big trouble.
Therefore, it is very dangerous to use this toxic material, it is best to use the hand of a mage to control it in the air, or wear gloves made of spiritual visceral envelope, of course, if there are latex gloves, it is estimated that it is possible to brush some special coating solution on the outside.
The tail of the spirit can be used as a flail.
But it's a bit of a waste. Moreover, the flail is a weapon similar to weapons such as chain hammers and nunchucks, and it has higher requirements for use skills, otherwise it will not be fun to hurt yourself by a stinger.
Zhao Wenrui, as an ash oath, can completely use its tail and bones as a framework for ghost beasts.
In a way, the ghost beast is similar to the thorn beast that Lucius used in the first place.
Zhao Wenrui was deeply impressed by the Thorn Beast and the Shadow Crow. Even after figuring out the routine of the Ash Oath, there is a plan to copy the template.
Shadow Crow, Thorn Beast, plus poison ivy, which is as soft as a whip and as hard as a spear, these three axes have characteristics, personality, and power, and they are used well, and he feels that even in this world, he can have a place.
It must be said that the dark class, in terms of destruction and killing, is indeed cool and ruthless, which is very attractive to Zhao Wenrui, after all, what he is most dissatisfied with now is that his combat power is not good.
It took three days before and after, Zhao Wenrui could be considered to have dealt with all the spirits properly, these calf-like monsters, with an average weight of more than 200 pounds, were carefully sorted out alone, and there were such and such objective conditions, so he could only spend more time on this.
This time, Zhao Wenrui did not restore the SAN value in a hurry, but after three days, it actually recovered to more than 100, and the recovery efficiency was very good.
This made him realize that the more he cares about some things, the more he is constrained, and it is not easy to do them well.
In the blink of an eye, it was a few days, and the marks carved on the walls let Zhao Wenrui know that it had been 22 days since he came to this world.
After last night's rain, the signs of impending winter became more and more obvious. Zhao Wenrui thought that the work of collecting winter materials had to be tightened up.
Because there are some practical techniques, such as turning mud into stone, wood plastic, etc., which greatly saves labor and reduces the difficulty of making tools and utensils.
Therefore, up to now, Zhao Wenrui has used a number of practical tools and equipment, including woollen use, leather making and so on.
The biggest gain during this period was the discovery of a natural salt well, although the storage capacity was not very good, and the quality was average, but it was more than enough to meet his needs.
With salt, as well as soil nitrate, there is a foundation for leather making.
Planting, making skins, and herbs are the three most compatible life occupations with the druids, and the druids have natural convenience in managing them. Whether it's living a small life on your own feet or finding your place in a social group, it helps.
As for the spell, the role of the spell in life is not firewood, rice, oil and salt, but condiment.
As time passed, Zhao Wenrui's belongings in his hands became more and more accumulated, and the survival noose that was put on his strength finally felt less tight.
On the 30th day, Zhao Wenrui can officially announce that he has entered the post-stone age.
Pottery, polished stoneware, textiles, and relatively simple fishing, hunting, farming, and animal husbandry. This is a sign of the post-Stone Age, and Zhao Wenrui has it, and it is already a relatively mature version.
He did not burn pottery, but used a kind of cave soil mixed with a certain proportion of plant ash, as well as other auxiliary materials, and made mud, and after it was even, it was made into clay tools, and then used the spell of turning clay into stone to make stone tools.
This kind of stone tool, which is finally molded into indigo blue, has better performance than pottery in other aspects except for brittleness and fear of falling. For example, the heat conduction is good, the heating is even, and so on. Even the most basic experimental tools are made from them.
The situation is similar for grinding stone tools, and instead of using flint all the time, but homemade tool stones, the performance is comparable to steel, and the overall performance of the tools can be said to be very good, comparable to modern alloy tools. The only drawback is that the accuracy is much worse.
The textile was also done relatively early, Zhao Wenrui was also a net worm back then, and the mixed knowledge was not less, including the famous Jenny spinning machine.
Later, because he didn't review it from time to time, he basically forgot all the details, but after becoming a druid, this knowledge was recovered little by little with the recovery of memory.
Of course, there are also factors in this where he is extremely bored, reverses memory, and confronts the problem of losing the san value.
Farming, animal husbandry, fishing, and hunting can be regarded as having a prototype.
This is mainly manifested in the exploration of the living cave.
As it turned out, the druid had a keen sense of the environment, and he had long since figured that the cave was likely to be connected to the Dark Realm, and it turned out to be.
The dark area can be said to be a huge three-dimensional cave world, Zhao Wenrui is lucky, less than 2 kilometers away from the surface, there is a small dome, which is a typical living cave, and even has a few solar crystals, and the original occupancy of this dome is just a group of dreaded claw beasts.
This carnivore with similar habits and traits to a velociraptor but much uglier is no match for a level 13 druid. Observe first, then prepare, and finally act, and after he carried a specially prepared spell to these guys, the three-plate axe of the dreadclaw beast quickly swung into the air, and then he was weak and slaughtered by him.
In the end, he left nothing to spare and exterminated the small race.
In fact, he can form animal partnerships with them, and even breed them on a large scale, and the dreadclaw beasts can be regarded as good hunting helpers in the dark regions, but they are too ugly.
Ugliness is the original sin, but it is not the point for Zhao Wenrui, and the main reason why he can't look down on it is that the cost of domestication is high and the cost performance is low. What's more, what he is thinking about now is the cool and ferocious shadow series, and he can't look down on this kind of beast that can only be in caves, and it is a shallow cave that dominates the world.
Dreadclaws are carnivorous, eating nearly twice as much as an adult wolf, and having such a small population of 7 means that this area can basically afford their hunting needs.
Relying on this very simple reasoning, Zhao Wenrui found the main source of food for the dreadclawed beast.
In fact, their nest dome is guarded by one kind, the earth river.
The river provides an axolotl-like fish beast and is a major food source for dreadclaw.
According to the unit time passage of this fish and beast, Zhao Wenrui estimated that there should be a huge living water lake in an area not too far away.
However, before obtaining a strong enough ability to transform into aquatic creatures, he is not going to explore the underground lake, the underwater creatures in the ground are more terrifying than the terrestrial ones, such as the famous benthic magic fish, which looks like a fish in the front, and a bunch of thick and powerful tentacles in the back, whether it is shape or combat power, it can be understood as a simplified version of the Cthulhu monster.
Although fish and beasts are a stable source of food, they are more dependent on the earth lake, and at least for now, the conditions are not very mature.
But there is another kind of mud rat, which can be raised like a pig.
This creature lives extensively in the main world of the transcendent universe, such as the DND universe. However, they are not well known there, as their cousin Lothmon, a pack beast that also provides meat, and is similar in status to surface cattle, but much smaller.
The mud rat is even smaller, basically the size of a badger.
Fortunately, this creature is not as 'empty' as most fur-bearing animals, it looks okay, there is not much meat when it is pinched, and the form is largely supported by fur.
They are not, their skin is more like fish skin, thin and sticky.
Theoretically, they are also a kind of magical beasts, because such a thin layer of skin alone is not enough to survive in the mud, and their shape and weight determine that they cannot be compared with loaches.
So what really makes the thin skin slippery and unbreakable is the effect brought by the spell-like talent.
It's just that this effect is slight, and it's not even a trick-level buff.
Zhao Wenrui attaches great importance to it. He knew very well that spells were also learned from nature, especially the druids, and the main way to observe nature and get inspiration to invent spells was the main way.
Among them, the spell-like talent of Warcraft is the main object of analysis and imitation.
And some types of spells, they don't look very good, it's not that the spells can't work, but the power is not raised. This is just like the fact that once the ability of some insects breaks through the limits of insects and scales up to the animal level, they will be extremely strong.
For now, though, he's more interested in raising mud rats as a protein provider. The mud rat can be pregnant up to 12 times a year, almost once a month, a litter of 5-10, just for this reproductive ability, it is also very valuable to feed.
It's just that they are too picky about the environment, and the intelligent races in the dark regions have more and better choices, and there is no need to raise them.
Zhao Wenrui has no choice now, but to carefully study his habits.
Druids have an advantage in this regard, and the Ash Oath has an advantage, as the Mudrats are also Shadow. Although they are more periphery, they do need this element.
This point was discovered by Zhao Wenrui during his experiment of trying to use spiritual flesh to taste mud rats.
This discovery allowed Zhao Wenrui to directly grasp the most critical point of raising mud rats. So much so that while the herd is growing rapidly, it is also going in the direction of multiple categories.
The main reason is that the mud rats themselves can not obtain the shadow elements, from this point of view, they have been in a state of semi-starvation, now by Zhao Wenrui breeding, the amount is guaranteed, they began to be brilliant, the change is very large, less than 10 days, the difference is wild cattle, and the difference between the artificial meat cattle that specialize in eating meat is so big, very intuitive, obvious.
Zhao Wenrui was happily indulging in his farming business, and on this day, Ling's unique roar sounded in his heart again.
This time, Zhao Wenrui was not surprised.
The heart said: "It was you last time, and the one that harmed my experience value consumption is called a low cost performance." I've been waiting for this revenge for a long time, I'm not afraid of your periodic harassment, I'm afraid that you won't come, that's called empty regret!"
