15. Whetstone
She needs to get back to her place and 'dismantle' the rabbit first.
It is certainly a good thing to have an unexpected harvest, but the appearance of this rabbit also disrupted Su Yu's original plan.
Originally, according to her arrangement, she was now going to the spawn point where the mysterious creature killed all the stone monsters yesterday, because she saw a stone called 'Sandstone' in the vicinity yesterday.
Sandstone is mined with a pickaxe, and it can be used to craft an item called a 'whetstone'.
As the name suggests, the whetstone effect is interpreted from a digital point of view, then its function is to restore the durability of the tool.
This is why she uses stone to craft a stone pickaxe, as with sandstone, she doesn't need to chop down trees by crafting a new stone axe.
Under normal circumstances, it is possible for the lair of stone monsters to spawn sandstone, but in order to mine sandstone, the most important thing is to kill all nearby stone monsters...... Otherwise, demolishing other people's homes in front of others is not only a provocative act, but the consequences are naturally self-evident.
In the end, it was thanks to the mysterious creature.
If it hadn't helped clear all the three stone monsters, Su Yu would have hesitated for a long time yesterday.
Hesitate whether to use the stone to make an axe, or spend some more time cleaning up the stone monsters, then mine the sandstone, use the whetstone made from the sandstone to restore the durability of the axe, and then chop down the tree.
But now that those stone monsters have been killed, Su Yu doesn't need to be entangled.
In less than a day, Su Yu's two plans were disrupted by unexpected circumstances, one was a mysterious creature and the other was the appearance of a rabbit.
Although these two unexpected situations are developing in a good direction for Su Yu, this also makes Su Yu more vigilant.
Accidents can be good and bad, and she can't let her guard down because of two surprises in a row.
……
……
After returning to the foothold with the rabbit, Su Yu began to peel the skin with a stone knife.
There is nothing special about the peeling process, because of the auxiliary calibration, the speed of peeling is not particularly slow.
After a piece of intact rabbit skin was peeled off, the rabbit in Su Yu's hand turned into a scattered drop.
【Obtain Hides*1】
【Get Small Pieces of Meat*4】
【Acquire Rabbit Fur*5】
The reason why Su Yu placed the small trap was for this animal skin, and she needed the animal skin to make something called a tool kit.
The purpose of the kit is to store tools, including axes, pickaxes, stone knives, as well as unmade shovels, hoes, hammers, etc......
The kit is equivalent to a separate backpack space, although it can only store tools, but as long as you have it, you can save a lot of space in the backpack.
Just like now, Su Yu's backpack alone has tools that occupy three compartments, but she can't do without these tools, because she needs to use them.
The materials required for the kit are [Hide*3, Rope*5], and the storage space is one for each type of tool, for example, it can only hold one axe, but it can also hold one axe, a shovel, a mining pickaxe, and a stone knife...... As long as it's a tool, you can put it inside.
But in view of the lack of materials now, Su Yu could only put the animal skin away and put it under the tree with the rabbit meat and rabbit fur wrapped in leaves.
After getting these things, Su Yu went straight to the stone monster's refresh point.
Because of the time consumed by the inverted rabbit, when Su Yu came to the refresh point of the sandstone, the sky was gradually brighter.
Before mining the sandstone, Su Yu first checked the surroundings to make sure that there were no stone monsters around, and then she took out the pickaxe to mine the sandstone.
Mining stone is different from wood, wood is a single tree, as long as you can cut down a tree, then you can harvest the resources of a tree, but the stones are connected into a large area.
Unless it's a single large stone, like this one, the drop of resources is calculated separately.
For example, if the first pickaxe is mined, the probability of dropping resources is 5%, and the second pickaxe will become 10%...... The more you dig, the more likely you are to drop a resource, until you successfully drop it.
After dropping a resource, the probability will start again.
Because of the presence of sandstone, Su Yu is ready to use the durability of the stone pickaxe to the minimum before stopping, just like the stone axe.
Once the durability is zeroed, the tool will be scrapped and cannot be repaired, but as long as there is even a little durability, the tool is still in good condition, and can be repaired by a whetstone at any time.
……
As the durability of the mine pickaxe disappeared little by little, Su Yu's physical strength was also rapidly decreasing.
In order to ensure efficiency, Su Yu took a short break in the middle of the process...... This is to keep your stamina in a range that increases your efficiency.
When the durability of the Stone Pickaxe reached (3/100), a piece of sandstone was dropped.
Seeing this piece of sandstone, Su Yu paused, and then stopped directly, not choosing to continue digging two pickaxes.
Although the probability of mining this stone fluctuates, on average it takes five or six times to drop a piece.
Only then did a piece of sandstone drop, and the probability of mining sandstone was reset, and with only 3 durability points left, Su Yu didn't expect to drop a stone just by digging twice...... Since it is impossible to fall, there is no need to waste physical strength.
After putting away the stone ore pickaxe, Suyu began to pick up large and small sandstone blocks on the ground.
【Acquire Sandstone*4】
【Acquire Sandstone*1】
【Obtain Sandstone Fragments*6】
……
After all the sandstone on the ground has been picked up, Su Yu now has a total of sandstone*15 and sandstone fragments*20.
One whetstone requires five sandstones to craft, and fifteen is exactly three whetstones.
As for sandstone fragments, this thing does not belong to the quarrying drops, but belongs to the debris (garbage) generated during the mining process, and the probability of sandstone fragments and sandstone are calculated separately, and the probability of the former will obviously be higher.
These pieces are of little use, at least for now, because sandstone pieces are different from gravel, they can't be synthesized into sandstone, so Su Yu finished picking up the sandstone pieces and put them in a corner.
Even if it is useless, Su Yu does not have the habit of littering, because she herself can't say whether she will use it in the future, in case she really needs it, she can easily come and pick it up when she finishes it, anyway, it doesn't take much effort.
With these sandstones, Suyu can start making whetstones.
[Does it consume Sandstone*15 to craft Whetstone*3?] 】
[Making: Whetstone, estimated time: 60 seconds]
[Remaining Crafting: Whetstone*2, Estimated time: 120s]
