Chapter 969: Great Goodness
All afternoon, Zhao Wenrui was busy tidying up his new home.
To put it bluntly, it is a cave in a ravine in a lonely mountain.
Solitary Mountain is not as steep on all sides as Earth's Mount Kilimanjaro or the mesa of western America. It is more like the stump of a super-large tree, with a large platform in the middle, surrounded by thick root-like ridges and ridges that bulge out of the ground.
Zhao Wenrui walked up and down the mountain mainly along the backbone of this mountain range, because although the road is longer, the slope is relatively gentle and easy to walk.
The cave he found was in the corner valley formed by this kind of ridge, and the entrance was about 160cm high and 120cm wide, and the edge was a little skewed, but the overall was quite regular.
On top of that, there is a large stone in front of the cave that looks like a wall.
Unless it is a deliberate and careful search, it will not be found at all.
The internal structure of this cave is relatively simple, inside and outside, large on the outside and small on the inside. For now, Zhao Wenrui intends to use it as a bedroom inside, and the outside as a daily activity.
His idea was, if possible, to live here for a year and a half.
On the one hand, adapt to this new world.
On the other hand, raise the level of the druid's combat class.
On the other hand, buy yourself some belongings, in addition to portable pots and pans, as well as weapons and equipment. Arm yourself to be a standard adventurer with some self-preservation ability and the ability to travel long distances, rather than your bare hands and face to survive.
The reason for this intention is mainly supported by two external factors.
The first was the Living Cave, one of the entrances to which was also in the ravine, about 700 meters away, where he found water, small animals, edible lichen mosses and fungi.
He didn't dare to go too deep, but just by roughly analyzing the volume of the cave and the amount of feces, he was basically sure that the cave would probably be able to feed him.
This is also one of the basic abilities of the druid.
And as an Ashen Oath, he also needs to obtain spellcasting materials from these environments, including materials for crafting magic weapons and totems.
If ordinary druids like primeval forests, then Ash Oath likes mud forests or cave forests.
The characteristics of the environment are different, the supernatural powers that are easy to gather are also different, and the properties are also different.
So when Zhao Wenrui discovered that the cave was a system, and it was likely to connect to the dark region, he had the intention to rely on it and cultivate for a while.
There is also a supporting factor, which is naturally the ruins of the mountain castle.
As the saying goes, there is nothing difficult in the world, but I am afraid of those who have a heart.
Although those yin spirits or something were terrifying, if he calmed down and dealt with it, there was still a way.
If he can't, he can carry out violent demolition and leave the interior of the house exposed to the light of day.
There are also those disgusting and human tentacles, he did not rush to obtain the totem eyeball bone staff of the dog box this time, but carefully observed it for a while.
Then he found that the roots of those tentacles did not move, and every time they broke through the ground to attack, there were actually signs, and where it was about to emerge, the ground would shake like a sieve.
Combined with the SAN value prediction method, once there is a downward arrow, it means that it is not far from the tentacle, at this time, be cautious and pay attention to the ground, you should be able to find its exact location.
Then it's the use of tools and methods to deal with it, although this thing is dangerous, but the intelligence is not good, and it can't move the nest, to put it bluntly, it's a fixed target, and the deliberate plan can still be killed.
After eliminating the danger, the ruins of the mountain city are undoubtedly a treasure trove, and the artifacts and materials that can be provided should be more than enough to arm him.
While it was still dawn, he first collected some tumbleweeds nearby.
Thanks to the terrain, when the tumbleweed rolls into this ravine, it will be stuck, and over time, it can be as spectacular as a haystack.
The mentality is a little better, dismantling the tumbleweed is similar to opening a treasure chest, maybe something will be opened, Zhao Wenrui has opened a magic weapon used by wizards, and of course, there are also skulls crawling with poisonous insects.
Then he found that if he was happy and interesting, he could restore the SAN value, and it was a second, or even third, rising arrow.
The only thing that's not beautiful is that there aren't many things that really make people feel happy and interesting.
Life is full of bitterness and happiness, especially in this ghost place.
In any case, the value of this discovery is extremely high, and Zhao Wenrui tried hard to think about those beautiful and happy memories in his life, and he replied to a wave of SAN value, so that his current amount increased to more than 120.
In this case, the auditory hallucinations finally disappeared, and he took the opportunity to try to pray.
Finally completed the preparation of the spell.
I have to say, the battle job of the Ash Oath is still very good, in terms of spell preparation, there is not so much to say, unlike some spell casting professions, today's cast must be prepared yesterday, and it must be after meditation, or a specific period of time.
There are 4 zero-level spells, and the ones he has prepared are 'Purifying Food', 'Flash', 'Detection Magic', and 'Repair'.
Because water is found, water-making is not the most important. Purification is even tighter.
Whether his homemade food can be eaten or not, he doesn't know whether he has a bottom in his heart, and purify it with water, this technique can purify 1 cubic foot of food or water per level, and it is not a problem to serve a team of adventurers, and it is more than enough for one person.
Flashing is one of the few tools used for self-preservation, and the effect of flashing lightning is similar, temporarily blinding and stunning the target.
Detecting magic makes up for the lack of warning. He plans to practice his hands with the magic weapon found in the tumbleweed first, hoping that when he explores the ruins tomorrow, he can use it to further confirm whether it is a yin spirit haunting or some kind of curse spell that will drop the value in the dark room when he gets close.
Prosthetics are used to repair the damage to the garment that is currently being worn.
The garment is made of polymer material, which is comfortable and breathable, but it is not abrasion-resistant, scratch-resistant, and damaged.
He was worried that as his work intensified, the garment would quickly become a beggar's garment. Therefore, weave as much as possible.
The material was made of tumbleweeds, a kind of spider silk, as tough as fishing line, which could be repaired by restoration, and although it did not look very beautiful, it was functionally complete, so that he no longer had to fear the cold of the night.
Two first-level spells, Zhao Wenrui prepared to detect animals and plants and endure the environment.
The former helps him better identify the things in the hole, and the latter prepares him to survive tonight.
He has no bottom in his heart now, only some guesses, just in case, it is better to make a few more preparations.
In addition to his usual caution, there was another reason for him to be extra cautious, and the cave where he had located his den was too clean now.
Not to mention the feces of wild beasts, not even snakes, rats, insects and ants.
People with a little wild common sense know that taking fruits and fungi as examples, those that have been gnawed or even maggots, remember their appearance, and they are basically edible.
Easy to find, still very intact, mostly poisonous.
And so on, if there is nothing wrong with the cave, wild beasts, snakes, rats, insects and ants will inhabit, otherwise, then there is a problem.
Of course, there is a problem with the whole lonely mountain, and it is possible that it is implicated here.
But Zhao Wenrui considered that another cave 700 meters away was dirty and smelly, but it was full of life, but it was clean and clean, and there was no grass, maybe there was something to say.
Therefore, he decided to be cautious, after all, he was the first to arrive, and he was at his weakest, and his ability to carry risks was too poor.
For a level 2 spell, Zhao Wenrui chose the Wood Shaping Technique, which can reshape wooden items to make them more suitable for his own use.
In order to safely obtain the totem eyeball bone staff of the dog box, Zhao Wenrui plans to use fishing methods to hook from a distance.
He first made a relatively simple fishing rod, after the use of plastic wood, the rod body from the original splicing, into a complete rod, and the back is heavy and light, the back is thick and thin, strong and tough, and long enough, so as to meet his original design intention.
Fishing wire is made from tough spider silk obtained from tumbleweeds.
Speaking of which, he really has a good impression of the spider that produces this kind of spider silk.
He pondered that if there was a chance in the future, he would have to raise this spider specifically, but it would not work, and it would be okay to make it an animal companion.
This is again a special point of the Ash Oath.
This druid class with the nature of the Avenger attribute not only allows special magical beasts to be used as animal companions, but also insects such as ants and spiders can be used as animal companions.
That is to say, to a certain extent, the control of the Titan Supreme Marching Ant, which Zhao Wenrui had been thinking about in the previous world, can be realized here in disguise.
When he learned this, he was also a little emotional. It's similar to the kind of 'stepping on iron shoes and finding nowhere to go, and it takes no effort to get them'.
Zhao Wenrui also knows the importance of animal companions, just like a well-known druid, he chose Cliff Eagle as an animal companion, and when he became a great druid, Cliff Eagle also broke through its own limits and became a giant eagle, which can ride in the air, providing considerable non-combat convenience and strategic and tactical advantages.
More commonly, they are scout-type characters, or powerful combat assistants, and some can even let their animal companions avatar their own doppelgangers, so as to make the real thing seem real.
But his way of thinking is a little different. He felt that animal companions, one, like a group, might not be able to farm in battle.
As we all know, ants are one of the few master builders in the biological world (depending on the species), and they build tower nests, and even have a centrally air-conditioned earthen air-conditioning system.
So in this fantasy world, is it a cheap productivity to train giant ants with alchemy, use the queen ant as an animal companion, and then command a large number of ants through the queen ant?
Bees that also have a developed society can also be chosen.
The Ash Oath can sign an animal partnership with insects such as poisonous insects, and even as a compensation, a considerable number of demonic insects can also be used (analogous to magical beasts, insects with extraordinary talents or spell-like abilities, which are generally quasi-enchantment).
Zhao Wenrui also thought of those short and concise killers, the size of a thumb belly, sneaking into the mansion and killing people invisibly......
Although that's cool, he's not the kind of person who wants to kill anyone at every turn.
He prefers to create a great family business with his hands, and then enjoy all the good things that come from it, including being envied by others of his kind.
He felt that was the real achievement.
And as a modern person, he also knows that fighting a war is to fight logistics and economy.
Therefore, as long as he can fully control the power, his first thought is to create and build, not to destroy and kill.
Even in a situation like the current one, he wants to solve the problem by improving his own situation, rather than eradicating the danger and destroying the evil.
c Kane watched all this remotely, and he could be regarded as having tasted why everyone, including the deity, liked farming so much.
The root cause is kindness.
This kind of kindness is not superficial, superficial, and the kind of good people that people often say in their mouths.
Rather, it is a cognitive core obtained by adhering to the orthodox inheritance of China. It's an ideology.
It's about digging deep inside to solve the problem. Improve and change yourself so that you can get out of the situation.
This in turn involves the impact of the cultural practice of 'trying not to cause trouble to others'.
In fact, not only Chinese people, but also East Asians basically have this kind of thinking, including foot basins.
The co-prosperity of East Asia has certain cultural commonalities, just like Europe and the United States are one family, first of all, they are ideologically similar.
It's just that the population and culture are all affected by the region, and the place of the foot basin is, after all, a corner, narrow, a little narrower, even if the suffering makes it often hold back a ruthless energy, the sword goes sideways, and it is prosperous for a while, after all, it is not dignified and upright, and it cannot assume the position of the leader of East Asia.
In any case, the imprint of population culture is deeply imprinted in the depths of Zhao Wenrui's soul, whether it is rebirth, a secondary doppelganger, or a missing body, a human doppelganger, etc., they can't jump out of this circle.
As much as possible, do not hinder others, do not cause trouble to others, and achieve the goal by changing yourself and improving yourself. This fundamental line of thinking is very close to the core of the definition of 'goodness'.
Of course, this kindness is not stupid, especially when interacting with other people of the same kind, and often instinctively asking others to behave similarly.
This is the gathering of things by likeness and the division of people by groups.
Once the concept is not in agreement and the interests are violated, it will also be violently torn. Without such a division of flesh and blood, it would be impossible for the population culture to be passed down for thousands of years.
Zhao Wenrui removed the soft hay from the tumbleweeds, made a bed for himself, ate a small pot of stew, and even used underwear as a towel and scrubbed his body with hot water......
That's pretty much all the work of the day.
To be honest, he wasn't very satisfied.
But I don't think it's bad.
He felt that with his own wisdom and ability, the situation would get better and better.
That night, he fell asleep with such a belief.
The grass curtain blocks the fire from leaking out, and also prevents the cold wind from invading, and the ventilation holes are very secret, so that the light of the campfire will not be easily exposed.
Of course, all this is far from good, for example, the cave is cloudy and damp, the campfire is scorching, and the humidity is heavier, Zhao Wenrui's temporary bed can't sleep for two days, and it will become wet and have to change the grass.
This is all manual labor, labor, and it is undoubtedly very uneconomical and inefficient to use labor repeatedly for this kind of thing.
In addition, the need for table salt is also a problem.
There is also a steady supply of food and water, and so on.
There are still many things that need Zhao Wenrui's efforts.
Cairn, meanwhile, is a different kind of effort.
He had received the first comprehensive analysis report from the Torch.
He was thinking about whether to send a swarm of worms to play in the universe where this world is located?
Anyway, he has three swarms, and the ones that are planning to destroy the Cree Empire are only green life swarms, as well as golden swarms, and red swarms available.
As for the purpose of the strategy here, of course, it is resources, what else can it be?
Because he found that this universe, from a certain point of view, is like the late dynastic period, with class solidification and serious land annexation, but the interesting thing is that among the vested interests, the people who stand on the big head are actually gods, all kinds of gods, many gods of the gods, throughout the ages, accumulated so that even the most knowledgeable scholars can't explain clearly.
What's even more interesting is that these gods are in a state of checkmate and not dead and occupy key resources, that is, if he sends a swarm to raid the strategy, the main way to operate is to dig up the tomb!
