Building infrastructure in a digital world

Chapter 23 23. Skill Book
Because of the death of the fire demon leader, all the fire monsters in the lair would fight for the 'seizure'. In order not to be affected, Su You didn't have time to check what tatters he had picked up from the fire demon leader.

She put all the things she could fit into the backpack, and wrapped everything she couldn't fit in the fire demon leader's cloak and held it in her hands.

After sorting out the loot, Su You returned to the foothold without stopping.

……

……

[Obtain ordinary cloak*1]

[Get Copper Coin*89]

【Get Ash*99】

[Obtain unknown stone *1]

【Get Charcoal*99】

……

At this time, Su You had reached the foothold and was checking the spoils she had harvested, but soon she discovered that there were no spoils at all.

There are ashes, unknown stones, and a large pile of charcoal...

Although Su You really disliked these things (garbage), she still sorted them out and put them near the foothold.

After all, charcoal can be burned... Nearly a hundred charcoals are enough for her to use for several days.

There is also ashes. Although it looks useless, it can actually increase the fertility of the soil, which is of great help in the creation of farmland after the subsequent construction of the territory.

Then there is this unknown stone...

Su You frowned and stared at the stone up and down for a long time, and even tried to scrape off the outer skin of the stone with a stone knife to see if there was something hidden inside...

But it's a pity that she didn't find any special use for this unknown stone after wasting a lot of time.

After tossing for a while with no results, Su You gave up. She threw the stone and other useless garbage that had been checked on the cloak, and was going to pack it up and take it to the territory at that time.

As for the 89 copper coins, Su You put them directly into the backpack, which didn't take up space anyway.

So far, Su You has a total of 136 copper coins, 89 of which are dropped by killing the leader of the fire demon, and the other 47 are dropped by killing the fire monster.

Although the copper coins are useless now, she already has flame stones and is about to establish a territory. After she has a territory, the money will be useful.

In addition to these rubbish, Su You found a few barely useful things from the pile of things with great difficulty.

Like gravel, like some fabric, like...a book?

Ok? !

The moment Su You saw this book, she was a little surprised, because the books dropped on the Sunset Continent are usually skill books.

The skill books here are not bad, only inappropriate... Skill books are divided into many types, including combat skills, life skills, aura skills, special skills, and so on.

As I said before, the role of the city lord does not have combat-related promotion data, so she cannot learn combat skills.

However, the skill book is very valuable. Even if it is a combat skill book that she cannot use, after she has a way to trade it, she can sell it for money, or give the skill book to combat-related npcs to improve their strength , thus improving her own strength in a disguised form.

In general, with this skill book, even if the other trophies are rubbish, Su You's heart is not too unbalanced.

At least it's better than a broken kitchen knife.

After sorting and cleaning the last things, Su You saw six silver coins at the bottom. After she put these six silver coins into the package, the fire demon leader's spoils were completely sorted out.

After sorting things out, Su You picked up the book, put one hand on the page and hesitated for a long time before finally opening it.

The moment Su You opened the book, the blurred handwriting on the original book gradually became clear...

【Advanced Cooking Skill Book】

Category: Skill Book
Quality: purple
Introduction: After learning, cooking skills can be upgraded to advanced level immediately.

……

Let’s not mention the skill itself, but Su You’s luck this time is really good. After all, the skill book’s explosion rate itself is not high, let alone this is an advanced skill book... This is because the skill book was rejected. This can also be seen in the quality defined as 'purple'.

There are only four levels in the skill book, namely: elementary (green), intermediate (blue), advanced (purple), and master (red).

Although the skill book only has four levels, there are actually six levels of life skills.

Among these six levels, only the first four levels can be directly achieved through the skill book, and the last two levels can only be gained proficiency through continuous making things, and then slowly upgrade.

Take the life skill of cooking as an example. The levels of cooking skills are divided into: elementary cooking, intermediate cooking, advanced cooking, master cooking, expert cooking, and top cooking (Master Chef).

Regardless of the life skills, the last level has another title, such as 'God' or 'Holy', such as Medicine Saint (pharmacist), Craftsman God (craftsman), Saturn God (farming) and so on.

But having said that... Although it is a good thing to get an advanced skill book, why is this a cooking skill book?
It's not that Su You despises the skill of cooking, but that this skill is really useless in the early stage, because there are too many ingredients needed to cook valuable food.

If it's ordinary food, then Su You can make it by herself, such as roasted berries, berry juice, and barbecue. She can make it with or without a skill book, and it doesn't matter.

Only in the later stage, she has opened up farmland, has the conditions to breed and plant or obtain better quality ingredients by killing wild animals, otherwise cooking skills are really useless in the early stage.

But other life skills are different. Many of the materials for making other props are basic materials, at least she can collect them now.

If she had a choice, Su Youning could exchange this advanced cooking skill book for an intermediate crafting skill book.

Although the artisan skill is not the strongest, it is the best to use in the early stage.

Because the craftsman level is higher, it can reduce the consumption when making tools, reduce the durability consumption when using tools, and increase the amount of durability recovered when the whetstone repairs advanced equipment...

Looking at this advanced skill book, but unfortunately it is a cooking skill book, Su You sighed, and then put it into her backpack.

Although it's useless... But it's a high-tech book, and it's very valuable. At worst, it's okay to sell it for money to buy other things.

……

38 hours 53 minutes 10 seconds...

This is the countdown for Su You after she has counted all the spoils. In other words, it is not long after five o'clock in the evening, and there are still nearly two hours before dark.
