Option 84.2 10.5%, Option 5.3 [-]%, Option [-] [-]%.

……

【Option [-]】

【Repair mill and blacksmith shop】

……

Mill and smithy.

Both facilities are located at the back of the town, close to the mayor's office.

Mills can process materials, grinding large objects into powder.Blacksmiths can process materials at high temperatures, forging pig iron into steel.

The sooner these two facilities are activated, the wider the options for follow-up.

Especially since he now holds a lot of material that can be produced stably. If [Powdering] and [High Temperature Processing] can transform them into other alchemy materials, the options for alchemy will increase a lot.

"Make more choices first."

Zheng Zhuo decided to restore the functions of the two buildings in the town next.

But before that, he waved the [Weeding Saw] and trimmed the vines that grew out last night.

……

After all, the vines that grow in one night do not have the weight accumulated over the years.It only took Zheng Zhuo an hour to complete all the repairs.He returned to the mayor's office with the newly picked [Big Leaf] and [Root Mucus], and dropped in a bucket of [Corrosive Liquid] from the [Loofah Flower].

Zheng Zhuo is more and more used to the life of a farm.He fits well with this life of little thinking and a lot of hard work.

If the unpleasant spores weren't in the air, he thought, this might be his dream retirement.

"I don't know if [practical skills] can allow me to live a comfortable and comfortable life in the country with a lot of money... If it can't be realized, as long as I can live a comfortable and rich life..."

Zheng Zhuo removed the most insignificant part and pretended not to notice it.

【Real Skills】...

Zheng Zhuo thought of his practical skills.

[Spiritual Resistance: Crazy Ineffective], [Professional Mastery Speed*10], [Black Hand], [Backlash].

No matter how you think about it, you have nothing to do with "comfortable and comfortable".

"...Let's go to repair the mill."

He escaped reality.

……

The mayor's office is on the verge of being turned into a warehouse.Huge pots, glass distillation tubes, bottles, jars, and buckets filled with various liquids are placed in the most conspicuous positions, while the previously collected materials are scattered in other places.

Zheng Zhuo's efforts managed to turn the building from an office space into a recycling facility in a matter of days.

"Ouch."

Zheng Zhuo once again threw a pack full of materials on the floor of the mayor's office.

He has no time for neatness and beauty.Beauty is for outsiders to see, and now there is no one else here except himself.

Oh.

There's also [caregiver] and a bunch of weird-looking plants.

"Let's not mention the [carers] who live in the forest...Plants don't dislike the environment, right?"

Zheng Zhuo muttered to himself, cleared away the materials next to the crucible, and picked up the pot again.

……

Squeak.

The door of the mayor's office was pushed open and closed, and Zheng Zhuo came out from inside.He carried the pot all the way through the streets of the town, and came to the gate of the mill with the windmill.

The wind blows through the mill, and the air is full of spores.Zheng Zhuo cleared an open space next to the wheat piled up in the mill, put the crucible on the open space, and looked aside again.

He was looking at the stone mill.

The handle of the stone mill broke from corrosion and fell to the ground.

But that's okay.Zheng Zhuo came here for this purpose.

When he saw the mill for the first time, he found out in the "Dictionary of Alchemy" that [the handle of the stone mill] can be synthesized from [water] + [wood glue] + [wooden stick].

At that time, he ran out of wood glue and did not prepare it immediately.But now, he found quite a few in the two-story building.

it's time.

Zheng Zhuo poured water and wood glue into the pot, and then threw the wooden stick.After the smoke and dust passed, 【Handle of the Stone Mill】was made.

"...very delicate..."

Zheng Zhuo looked at the handle repeatedly.It was even polished when it came out of the pan.

"It doesn't have to be so delicate."

Zheng Zhuo inserted the handle of the stone mill into the stone mill.

Strictly fit.

Zheng Zhuo took some wheat and threw it into the stone mill, and pushed the millstone.

squeak...

After the initial tooth-piercing sound, the stone mill slowly returned to function.Wheat flour flows out from the outlet.

The stone mill was restored.

Once the tool is fixed, the next thing is to use it.

Zheng Zhuo first made a whole bag of [wheat flour].This kind of [alchemy material] can refine a lot of food, so it is better to have more.

In addition, Zheng Zhuo also tried all of his own relatively large materials.

Vegetable material such as broad leaves and vines cannot be ground at all, turning into a slimy paste.However, [hard shell fragments] were successfully ground into fine slag.

……

[Spine]: Alchemy material
……

[Hard shell fragments] became [thorns].Zheng Zhuo saw this material in many bombs and weapons.

However, he has no intention of compositing here yet.

He picked up the cauldron and moved on.

"Next stop."

Zheng Zhuo walked through the mill.He came to the blacksmith shop further back, carefully avoiding the scattered iron materials on the ground, and came to the stove.

There was a bang.

Then, there was another sound.

Zheng Zhuo spent a lot of effort to lift the [damaged parts] of the furnace body that fell from the ground, and threw it into the crucible.

Next, it's just a matter of compositing.

[Oil] + [Iron Material] + [Damaged Parts] can generate [Good Parts].

"Motor oil...motor oil...ah."

Only then did Zheng Zhuo realize that he had no engine oil.

He froze in place.stood for a while.

"...It's all on my back."

Zheng Zhuo scratched his head.

Take a closer look, [damaged parts] still have some engine oil left inside.

"Can this be counted? ... Never mind."

Zheng Zhuo threw the [iron material] and [damaged parts] into the crucible with the feeling of "trying for sure".

Unexpectedly, there was a sound in the pot, and white smoke came out.

Zheng Zhuo quickly looked into the pot.

[Identification] shows that [complete parts] appeared in the pot body.

Even a little bit is okay?
Zheng Zhuo was overjoyed, he immediately lifted the [complete parts] to the iron stove and installed it.

The flint "crack, crack" sounded twice, and then, the flame rose in the furnace body.

Zheng Zhuo threw wooden sticks, white grass, vines and large leaves into the fire one by one.

Then, all you get is [Plant Ash].

"...It's already a lot. It's not necessary at all."

Still, something is better than nothing. After [Water] and [Wood Glue] are ignited, they will disappear without a trace in the stove.

【Hard Shell Fragments】Will not change.

Only [iron material] changed its name after being burned and forged.

[Pig Iron]: Alchemy material.

At present, it seems that only this kind of material has been harvested for the time being.Zheng Zhuo threw [pig iron] and [water] into the crucible and got [steel].

Only one material was harvested, but it brought revolutionary progress.

"It can definitely do a lot of things." Zheng Zhuo looked at the piece of [steel] and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"Smelt a few more..."

Just before he finished his sentence.

Boom! ! !
There was a loud bang from behind.

"!?"

Zheng Zhuo looked back.

It turned out that the furnace part that had just been repaired had fallen out again.
