Chapter 20: Wild Rice Porridge
[Side Quest: Unknown Entrance: You have accidentally found an entrance to an unknown place in the Night Forest, which may be related to the place that the little girl Ling said, and you have decided to explore this unknown entrance, but before that, you need to visit several farm residents and learn something about the unknown entrance from them. γ
[Mission reward: 1000 experience points, system backpack +10.] γ
Lu Xi was in a daze for a moment, looking at the newly popped game mission, carefully studying it a few times, and she didn't see which farm residents the mission asked her to visit.
οΌοΌοΌ Are you going too far with this game? I don't even go to anyone directly, so I'm guessing, right?
After looking at the sky, there was still a period of time before noon, and the map of the Night Forest was only half brushed, so Lu Xi had to suppress the thoughts of giving the middle finger to the game system in his heart, put aside the side quests, and concentrate on brushing materials.
She decided to spend a day today to brush up on enough materials to repair everything in the house, and wait for any side quests.
Anyway, if there are more lice, I am not afraid of itching, and if there are more tasks, I am not afraid of worrying.
The detailed task process like a novice guide task has never been encountered since Lu Xi returned to the farm, which is really a headache.
Some simple tasks can be analyzed from the description, but I am afraid that those tasks are even vague in description, so I can only guess the whole process.
As for the effect of the "Good Luck" Buff that has not yet ended, although Lu Xi has the intention to use it, but this kind of ethereal thing, if he really pursues it deliberately, it may have no effect, it is better to do his own thing normally, and many may be accidentally triggered.
With a sense of unhappiness with the game task, Lu Xi swung the axe a lot harder, and the sound effect of "clang" sounded particularly infiltrating.
The tree in front of Lu Xi fell, turning into several long pieces of wood piled on the ground, and he was about to pick them up into his backpack, when he suddenly found that next to this pile of wood, something bright was flashing.
[System Notification: Congratulations to players for cutting down more than 100 gravel trees to unlock the special drop item "Sandstone Tree Resin", and each time you cut down a gravel tree, there will be a 10% chance of dropping this item.] γ
Lu Xi glanced at Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao not far away, the two of them should have cut down more than a thousand trees, after all, a tree can be cut down in a few seconds, if it doesn't take time to walk, this number can be doubled.
It seems that the number of trees cut by Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao is not within the calculation range of the system, only the trees cut by Lu Xi himself are counted, and this number should also be counted by Lu Xi a few days ago.
It can be seen how paddling Luxi is.
Originally, because Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao could help with the work, the lazy idea was also directly broken by such a system notification.
After all, if Lu Xi didn't personally participate in those labor processes, many functions might not be unlocked for the rest of his life.
Sighing, Lu Xi could only resign herself to her fate and start working seriously, after all, according to the system notice that just popped up, she had to cut down 100 other trees next.
emmβ¦β¦ Further up, there may be a requirement to cut down 1,000 or 10,000 trees.
These cut down trees also refresh quickly, and they "grow" again in ten minutes.
So you can see that Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao cut trees from the east to the west, and then suddenly ran back to the east and continued to cut the trees to the west.
Lu Xi didn't have to be so troublesome, she didn't walk fast, and Xiao Yuan and Mao didn't move the tree in front of her, so they didn't have to go back at all.
After unlocking the "Sand and Gravel Tree Resin", Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao cut down the tree again, and they also began to fall, which is similar to the drop rate marked by the system, cutting ten trees about one or two drops, and the overall drop rate is a little higher than the system said.
Lu Xi is different, she can drop seven or eight resins when she cuts ten trees, after all, each tree has a 10% chance of dropping resin, not ten trees that drop one resin.
This must be the effect of "good luck".
Lu Xi is particularly sorry that he couldn't unlock the lottery function, if this is with the blessing of "good luck", I'm afraid that he can't make 5 gold in ten rows?
Before lunch, Lu Xi brushed another 100 Frostdew Trees, unlocked the "Frost Dew Tree Resin", and completely walked the entire Night Forest.
Then Lu Xi finally sensed that something was wrong, what about the Sun Moon Tree???
There are three kinds of trees that can be cut down in the Night Forest, among which the Frost Dew Tree and the Sand Gravel Tree are both common materials, and they are also the most in demand, and there are not many places where the Sun and Moon Tree materials are used.
In addition, Lu Xi found that the "prayer" function could obtain materials, so he used the prayer function to obtain a lot of sun and moon tree wood, and there was no need to collect it in a short period of time.
This will consciously brush the number of trees to unlock the resin of different trees, only to find out that she didn't meet a single sun and moon tree?!
Looking at the map again, Lu Xi suddenly found that the icon of the Sun and Moon Tree was in the middle of the map.
However, the map of the Night Forest is a "square" route, and there is no road to walk outside the route, and there is an air wall, and Lu Xi cannot enter it at all.
Lu Xi had no choice but to click on the introduction of the Sun Moon Tree in the game system and read it.
[Sun and Moon Tree: A rare wood in the Night Forest, located in the middle of the Night Forest, because only the time when the sun and the moon intersect will open a road to the center of the Night Forest, so it is named the Sun and Moon Tree. γ
The so-called sun and moon staggering actually refers to the time when the sun sets and the moon rises, or the moon sets and the sun rises.
Usually at four or five o'clock in the morning and eight or nine o'clock in the evening.
To be precise, the two periods when the sun rises and when the sun sets.
Lu Xi was silent for a while, she remembered that Karina in the restaurant had reminded her that the Night Forest could not pass by night, and that she had to leave the Night Forest before 10 o'clock in the evening.
In the same way, the Night Forest is not accessible until the sun has fully risen at 7 a.m.
Lu Xi was furious, this game system is a bit too cheating, and he is not allowed to enter the Night Forest at night, but the key materials can only be obtained at night.
Xiao Yuan and Mao Hao didn't know how Lu Xi's mood changed so quickly, they glanced at each other and continued to happily cut down trees around.
Lu Xi took out the "wild stove" prop that could cook outside, and soon a bonfire appeared on the ground, with two pots on it, and a wooden countertop next to it, which could be used to chop vegetables and the like.
The most important thing is that Lu Xi saw a bucket full of clean water next to him, and the water in it will be automatically replenished after it is used up, and he doesn't know what the principle is.
Lu Xi was fresh for a while, and quickly made a few relatively simple and convenient dishes, and after eating, he didn't need to clean up, and the "wild stove" disappeared automatically in two hours.
Yes, this thing is not only a one-time item, but it also has a time limit of two hours, and if you can't finish the meal in two hours, even the unfinished food will disappear with it.
So if you don't have time to finish cooking, you can take out the dishes first and change to a new field stove to continue cooking...... Lu Xi tried.
After eating and drinking, Lu Xi took the two cubs to continue cutting down trees, but it was a little too boring to keep cutting trees, she was not like those two cubs who farmed for a day and were beautiful, this kind of thing was not very attractive to her.
The main thing is that she is a little tired from walking, and the two cubs are still full of energy.
So Lu Xi went to collect other materials to see if he could unlock any other special materials.
It's a pity that after collecting all those wild fruits and weeds in the Night Forest to a hundred, Lu Xi only unlocked the system achievements and received achievement rewards that added up to tens of thousands of copper coins.
Oh yes, Lu Xi also unlocked a new title "Lumberjack", cutting trees to drop a bonus of 1%, and I don't know how she suddenly became a lumberjack because of her identity as a noble lady, this game system is not logical at all.
Unconsciously, night fell, Lu Xi's system backpack had not many spare compartments, there were a lot of miscellaneous materials, and dozens of plates of meals that could increase physical strength were eaten.
Lu Xi felt that her mouth was full of the smell of ball cabbage rolls, and after her physical strength was successful again, she held a plate of ball cabbage rolls, and she couldn't get her mouth off for a long time.
Did she ignore the huge impact on her psychology by eating dozens of the same dishes repeatedly in a short period of time...... Lu Xi doesn't even want to eat meat now.
"Vomit" retching, Lu Xi closed her eyes and took the dish back into the system backpack, forget it, she gave up, life is so good, there is no need to treat herself like this.
Xiao Yuan also showed a tired look, lying next to Lu Xi to rest, cutting down trees all day, and completely squeezing out Xiao Yuan's physical limit.
And the ...... Mao Mao is still cutting down trees.
even saw that after Xiao Yuan quit due to physical exhaustion, he became more motivated, and his eyes were full of "You can't do it, you still have to look at me".
Lu Xi and Xiao Yuan leaned together, looking at the figure, and couldn't help but sigh, the creature of the dragon is really rebellious.
With high intelligence and strong strength, there are no shortcomings at all, how can there be such a "perfect" creature in this world.
Lu Xi glanced at the time, it was only a little past five o'clock, it was a while before it was dark, and then looked at Xiao Yuan, who was lying on the ground and didn't want to move, and decided to eat dinner in the dark night forest, anyway, there was no shortage of cooking ingredients in her backpack, and the number of wild stoves was enough.
When she was about to cook, Lu Xi was suddenly stunned, and something suddenly came to her mind, the meals she made according to the system recipe, whether automatic or manual, had the effect of increasing physical strength.
Doesn't the meals she cooked by herself have any special effect except for the difference in taste?
Or is it that only the meals made by those recipes in the system have special effects?
If she follows the recipe of the system, but does not use the functions of the system to make the dish, is it the same?
After thinking about it, Lu Xi felt that it would not be a loss to try, and took out a set of kitchen utensils in the contract package, ready to compare it and cook a dish according to the recipe of the system.
Use the props of the system to cook a dish at the same time, check the differences, and make the control group to distinguish the differences, which is called rigor.
Lu Xi's recipe is fried french fries, one is that this one is relatively easy to make, and the other is that she doesn't want to eat meat anymore.
The steps are almost the same, it didn't take long for two fried fries to be freshly baked, using the plates in Lu Xi's own backpack, and when arranging the plates, Lu Xi also deliberately imitated the finished dishes produced by the system.
γFrench Fries Treasures: Dishes made by someone take longer than ordinary french fries, and they have a more delicious texture, so you can feel happy after eating them. γ
[Special Effect: Slightly increases the recovery speed of physical exertion, and slightly restores the energy value.] γ
Both french fries show the same content, the effect is exactly the same, there is no difference between different cooking props, it seems that the main thing is the person who cooks.
The small amount of energy recovery in the special effect makes Lu Xi a little concerned, I don't know how much energy can be recovered, if the energy value recovered is more, she may be able to make a bunch of fried french fries herself and put it in the system backpack for later use.
However, other dishes have to be tried, and Lu Xi used two cooking props to cook a pot of rice porridge each.
Although the taste of wild rice is not at all comparable to the taste of rice on earth, it is actually not bad as a food in itself, as long as it is not treated as rice on earth.
Lu Xi comforted himself.
Put the two bowls of rice porridge into the system backpack - Lu Xi couldn't directly check the introduction of the item, so he could only put it into the system backpack first, and then check it.
If you can't fit something in the system backpack, it depends on whether there is a corresponding introduction page in the system panel.
Most of the items mentioned in the system panel can be viewed.
[Wild Rice Porridge - Excellent: Made by someone, this dish that appears for the first time in the world is simple but without losing its flavor, and has a unique taste, and you will get a strong sense of satiety and happiness after eating. γ
[Special Effect: The recovery speed of physical consumption is greatly increased, and the physical consumption is greatly reduced, which lasts for 6 hours.] γ
[System Notice: Congratulations to players for creating a new recipe "Wild Rice Porridge", the production method has been unlocked in the kitchen system, and the system can be made automatically/manually in batches. γ
[System Notification: Please choose whether to disclose the permission of the dish "Wild Rice Porridge", such as restaurants, sales boards, etc. (if the permission is not opened, "Wild Rice Porridge" will not be able to be sold.γ γ
The sudden pop-up of a bunch of system notifications startled Lu Xi, and without hesitation, Lu Xi clicked OK...... What's the use of keeping a permission that she doesn't know what to do, it's better to sell it directly, at least to make money.
[System Notification: The player has opened the "Wild Rice Porridge" permission and will receive a reward of 100 gold coins.] γ
Lu Xi looked at it for a while, thinking it was 100 copper coins, and was about to say that the game system was too deductible, when he was suddenly stunned, and suddenly looked up again.
The word gold coin was flashing Lu Xi's eyes, and her face was full of smiles that could not be concealed.
Gold coins?! It's just that a recipe permission was opened to the system, and it was such a big surprise to get it, which is great.
And ...... if she made more recipes that weren't in the system?
There are some farming games that are borrowed, but they are not copied, and they are all secondary magic changes.
The main thing is to give yourself a structure, so that you don't have to write it off track.
So far, the effect is good, and I don't feel like I've written anything that has collapsed, it's all the expected plot.
