“……”

Zheng Zhuo stared at the parts of the stove wordlessly.

“……”

The parts of the stove lying on the ground also stared at him wordlessly.

“…… All right. ”

Zheng Zhuo sighed and accepted the reality.

It's still too reluctant to have no oil.

Anyway, at least I know that this stove works. After that, it's not too late to get the [engine oil] and operate it again.

I already have a lot of alchemy material. Let's take a look at the materials we have now.

……

【Zheng Zhuo】

[Alchemy materials (large quantities): water, wooden sticks, white grass, wood gum, hard-shell fragments, vines, plant ash, broad leaves, rhizome mucus, wheat flour, pig iron, prismatic thorns]

[Alchemy material (small amount): corrosive liquid, pig iron, steel]

[Alchemical products: filter screen, tea, weeding saw]

[Other items: a set of alchemical equipment, a short-barreled shotgun]

……

The options are gradually increasing, and it is dizzying.

Next, Zheng Zhuo wants to carry out the alchemy operation. He wanted to see what could be combined with existing materials.

"Huh...... I'll take a look at ...... "Alchemy Dictionary" ......"

In short, do everything you can first.

……

[Water] + [Rhizome Mucilage] + [Wheat Flour] = [Vanilla Biscuits].

Try a little.

"That's good. Particularly viscous ...... The vanilla flavor is strong. ”

Delicious. It can restore physical strength.

A little more recovered than regular cookies.

Rating: 7.5/10.

"It would be better to add a little more heat."

……

[Rhizome Slime] + [Vine] + [Broad Leaves] = [Hammock].

Try.

"It was uncomfortable to sleep. Very easy to fall off. The blades are too small. ”

User rating: 4.5/10.

"If it weren't for the lack of bed options, no one would sleep on it."

……

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Rhizome Mucilage] + [Plant Ash] + [Wheat Flour] = [Special Glue]

Sticky to the bottom of the pan. You can't pull it out no matter how you pull it out.

Try using a spoon.

The spoon is scrapped.

Finally, a fire was lit in the cauldron to solve the problem.

User rating: 0/10.

"Concept glue."

……

[Rhizome Slime] + [Vine] + [Thorn] = [Wind Chime].

Jingle jingle bells.

"It's good."

Is it another useless crafting prop?

Zheng Zhuo made notes rustlingly.

"Quiet noise, decorative ......"

Wait a minute.

Suddenly, Zheng Zhuo thought of something.

“——！”

He jumped up from the ground with a loud rattle of wind chimes. The hammock he had synthesized had slipped off him, but he didn't have time to care about it.

"Wind chimes!"

He looked at the quaint [wind chime] in his hand.

As long as there is wind, this thing can make a sound.

And yesterday, too, he hesitated in front of something that could make a noise.

When deciding how to use the hard ratchets.

Zheng Zhuo quickly flipped through the "Alchemy Dictionary".

[Water] + [Ash of Plants] + [Hardshell Shard] + [Vine] + [Hard Ratchets] = [Vocalizer]

Got it. That's it.

This sounding device can emit sound at regular intervals. And the wind chimes ......

As long as there is wind, it can also make a sound all the time.

……

Wind Chimes can be used as a Sound Generating Device!

The sound is too small to not sound in the absence of wind, and it is not guaranteed to be useful at all times.

It's still a lot worse than the [sound device].

But......

The shortcomings in quality may be compensated for by the advantages in quantity.

Zheng Zhuo immediately got up.

He began to refine [Wind Chimes] in large quantities.

……

【Wind Chimes】

【Wind Chimes】

【Wind Chimes】

【Wind Chimes】

【……】

……

The sound of wind chimes clashing lasted for dozens of minutes, and it never stopped. White smoke continued to drift out of the ventilation vents of the mayor's office, and from a distance, it looked like a fire, which was very scary.

Looking at the mayor's office from a distance, it is probably not clear what is going on inside.

And from the inside......

…… It's even more confusing.

Smoke surrounds and bells ring.

Zheng Zhuo poured bottles of [Rhizome Slime] into the pot, grabbed a handful and sprinkled [vines] and [prismatic thorns] into it.

He stirred the unknown potion, and then fished out the strangely shaped [wind chimes] from it. This scene is very weird, and it really looks like an alchemist.

Of course, Zheng Zhuo himself didn't realize it.

One, two, three.

A large number of [Wind Chimes] have been crafted.

Because there were too many of them, on the way, Zheng Zhuo even went to the mill to grind another piece of [Hard Shell Fragment].

When the wind chimes were already so numerous that they were piled up on the ground, Zheng Zhuo stuffed them into his bag and opened the door.

He cleared the white smoke from the room and set off again.

Soon after, he appeared near the stone wall on the outskirts of the town, and climbed over there again.

Zheng Zhuo entered the forest around the town.

He only walked a little deeper—probably less than ten minutes.

He didn't go far. He stopped when the town behind him was faintly obscured by lush vegetation.

Then, he hung a string of wind chimes on the treetops.

The wind chimes are blown by the wind that leaks through the treetops, making a slight noise.

The sound was faint, but it had already achieved the result that Zheng Zhuo wanted.

"Good."

Zheng Zhuo began to center on the stone wall, and along its perimeter, a [wind chime] was tied every few meters.

Objects that make noises can attract the attention of strange plants. Well, as long as you keep the sound outside the stone walls constant, you can prevent the strange plants from entering the town!

"That's good."

Unexpected precautions were obtained.

Hanging wind chimes exhausted Zheng Zhuo half to death. But he was still happy.

……

Zheng Zhuo has already sworn that he will never work overtime again.

But there were more wind chimes than he had imagined. It took so much time to hang the wind chimes, and by the time he got back to town, it was already dark.

"This is force majeure ......"

He despaired of this force majeure.

Tiredly pushing open the door of the mayor's office, Zheng Zhuo was greeted with a mess.

This made him not feel very good.

Wide leaves, vines are scattered everywhere. Steel stretched across the floor, almost crushing the ground......

Wait a minute.

"Steel."

Zheng Zhuo stopped.

Patronized to make wind chimes. He hadn't looked at the synthesis route for this rare item.

Zheng Zhuo immediately began to flip through the "Alchemy Dictionary".

……

[Water] + [Wood Glue] + [Rhizome Slime] + [Steel] + [Weeding Saw] = [Weeding Hacksaw]: Greatly improve weeding efficiency. The efficiency will be tripled, and harder trees will be cut.

[Corrosive Liquid] + [Wide Blades] + [Vines] + [Steel] = [Sliding Rail]: Lay a sliding track that connects the mayor's office to the stone wall. Collected materials can be easily transported, saving time. In an emergency, it can also be used to quickly escape or create an opportunity to attack.

[Water] + [Wheat Flour] + [Rhizome Slime] + [Wood Glue] + [Plant Ash] + [Barbed Wire] + [Steel] = [Trap]: A trap made of glue, net, and a strong spring clip made of steel. Plants that step on traps can be caught.

……

Zheng Zhuo fell into a choice again.

But this time, he probably didn't need to hesitate too much. [Oil] is not a very difficult material to obtain, if necessary, it can be made of [steel] later.

……
