Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 16 16. Balance

While waiting for the time to make the whetstone, Su You took a short break and replenished her hunger points by the way.

Although it was still the same, but this time no unknown creature came to snatch her food, and I don't know if the creature has left...

However, this had nothing to do with Su You. It was purely a matter of luck that she was able to make a deal with that creature.

It happened that the creature passed by here and cleaned up the stone monster, and the fall of the stone monster attracted Su You; it happened that the creature liked or needed food; it happened that she took out the food, and it was the food it liked...

So many 'coincidences', which resulted in what happened yesterday.

This kind of opportunity is rare, and it can be met when it is needed most. Even though it is a deal, Su You is still very grateful.

Because from a certain point of view, this transaction is not fair.

……

One minute later, a reddish-brown 'stone brick' about the size of an adult man's palm appeared on Su You's hand.

The stone bricks are heavy and heavy in the hand, and the surface looks flat, but if you look closely, you can find that the top is actually a rough plane—this is the 'whetstone' made of sandstone.

【Whetstone】

Category: Tools

Quality: white
Durability: 5/5
Introduction: The whetstone can restore other tools to a sharp (that is, durable) state. The higher the level, the better the material and the harder it is for the tool to restore the sharp state.

……

The durability of the whetstone also represents the number of times it can be used. 5/5 means that it can be used five times. After five times, the whetstone will turn into powder and disappear.

Although the whetstone is also a tool, the whetstone cannot repair the durability of the whetstone, so as long as you have two whetstones, you can repair each other and form a whetstone perpetual motion machine in the form of a bug. Case.

With the whetstone in hand, Su You took out the ax with only a little durability left in her backpack.

她将其放在磨刀石上随便磨了磨，不过几秒钟的功夫，磨刀石的耐久变成了4/5，而石质斧头的耐久则是从1/100变成了100/100。

In the blink of an eye, an almost unusable ax that was itself broken turned into a brand new ax in an instant.

Of course, only stone tools can have such a high repair efficiency.

If it is replaced with a more advanced tool, even if a whole whetstone is worn out, it may only recover a dozen or even a few points of durability.

……

With the axe, the next thing Su You has to do is to chop down trees like crazy, without thinking.

The basic arrow tower needs 20 yuan of wood, and the construction of the city center fire needs 60 yuan of wood, which adds up to a total of 80 yuan of wood...

After a morning of unremitting efforts, Su You successfully collected nearly 100 yuan of wood without using a whetstone.

Because there is not enough space in the backpack, three groups of 60 yuan wood were synthesized by Su You into the wooden boards needed to build the city heart fire.

The remaining wood is still placed in the backpack.

The arrow tower is a large building. Like a bonfire, it must be placed immediately after construction, and it cannot be stored like a wooden fence. Therefore, Su You can only take the wood with him temporarily and build it when he arrives at his destination.

"It's finally done..." Su You leaned tiredly against a tree, drinking the last glass of juice, and started packing her backpack.

Backpack (10/10): String*4, Roasted Berries*8, Stone*5, Wood*20, Wood*20, Plank*5, Whetstone*2, Stone Axe (5/100), Stone Pickaxe (3/100), Stone Knife (88/100)

Looking at the contents of the backpack, Su You didn't know what to think of. First, she took out the stone knife from the backpack to make a space for a grid, then put the two wooden cups into the backpack, and then prepared to return to the foothold.

When passing by the place where she "traded" with the mysterious creature yesterday, Su You stopped - the place where she had placed seven roasted berries and a glass of berry juice before is now empty, there is nothing left, not even edible The wooden cup also disappeared, and I don't know where it was taken by that guy.

Although the wooden cup was gone, it didn't affect Su You from doing the next thing.

She took out all the remaining eight roasted berries in the backpack, and placed them neatly under the tree just like yesterday.

After doing all this, Su You put the stone knife back into the backpack, and then left without stopping.

Although yesterday's transaction was over, for Su You, the value of seven roasted berries was completely incomparable to those ten pieces of gravel and one stone.

Red berry bushes are a common resource in the forest, as are leaves. In other words, roasted berries are worthless to Suyou, just like sand in the desert. Although it takes a little time to collect, they are everywhere. visible.

And the stone that the other party used to trade with her was like a rare 'water source' in the desert, it was what she needed most, and it was also the hardest thing for her to get.

In the desert, exchanging 'sand' for 'water'... To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that she really didn't have any extra roasted berries on her body yesterday, otherwise, let alone seven roasted berries, even seventeen or twenty-seven, she would It will be taken out without any hesitation.

The Sunset Continent has a very special emphasis. In the words of the former players, that is 'balance study'.

No matter what you do, you must pay attention to a balance. Only by maintaining this balance can you live more easily in the Sunset Continent...

As the saying goes, if you want to mix in the mainland, you must first enter the "Balance Teaching".

As for the relationship between this balance theory and her putting these roasted berries here... Su You couldn't explain the reason, but as a 'senior' balance believer, she knew that she needed to do this.

……

……

Although all the food on her body was gone, Su You did not choose to collect red berries to replenish on the way back.

This is not because there is not enough space in the backpack... If there is really not enough space in the backpack, she can just take out a tool and carry it with her hands, which can save a backpack space.

As long as it is not too troublesome, she can even hold the same tool in her left and right hands, which can save two spaces.

The reason why she didn't collect red berries was because of time, and because she didn't need red berries as food for the time being.

After returning to the foothold, the first thing Su You did was to use the remaining materials to light a bonfire, and then began to make barbecue.

The meat here is naturally freshly decomposed rabbit meat.

Compared with berries, meat can obviously restore more satiety.
