Chapter 3 Planting a Tree House
When I woke up, it was already dawn.
Xu Xin looked at her calves and arms and wiped off the dried herbs. The scratches on them had completely disappeared, as if they had not been injured at all.
"This styptic grass is really useful." Xu Xin sighed.
It turns out that the herbs in this world don’t have such rapid effects.
It was just dawn, and he quickly got up and walked out of the cave.
Although he was in the novice protection period, he was still a little nervous about this cave subconsciously, and chose to escape as soon as he woke up.
After eating apples and berries for breakfast, Xu Xin returned to the stream and walked downstream again.
As the day progressed, the stream was no longer the small stream it was at the beginning. It gradually became wider and the water depth reached about one meter.
You can see many fish and shrimps in the water at a glance, which makes Xu Xin very greedy.
However, he still did not waste his energy on this. The top priority now was to find fertile soil.
Along the way, except for five patches of ordinary soil, he saw that the rest were all barren soil, which made him feel very strange.
After walking for so long, I have never seen fertile soil, let alone other survivors who do not have the ability to be a creator.
It is basically impossible to find fertile soil by feel. Even ordinary soil is very difficult, unless you have the same ability as him.
After all, green-level soil is also scattered.
Could it be that the world didn't intend for them to grow high-end tree houses in the first place?
Thinking of this, Xu Xin suddenly became interested.
If he finds fertile soil and grows a high-end tree house, doesn't it mean that he has a much higher starting point than most people?
Stable.
Try to find fertile soil today.
He doesn't want to sleep in the open anymore, he wants to live in a tree house.
As she continued walking, Xu Xin began to think about the laws of soil and these materials.
At present, he has only seen two colors, white and green, and white materials are one level lower than green.
The five green-level ordinary soils he had seen were all discovered after the green-level plants were discovered, because those green-level plants grew in green-level soil.
But not all green-level plants grow in ordinary soil. There are a few plants that also grow in white-level poor soil.
In other words, barren soil (white) has a high probability of growing white-level plants, but there is also a certain probability of growing green-level plants. However, ordinary soil (green) currently only grows green-level plants. .
Perhaps, it is possible for green-level soil to grow higher-level plants.
While he was thinking, suddenly, a broad green appeared in Xu Xin's field of vision.
His eyes immediately lit up and he felt happy.
Could it be...
He quickly ran forward for a while and looked towards the place where the green light was glowing.
When he saw the green light, he was overjoyed.
"It's a lake! I knew there was a lake!" Xu Xin became excited and quickened her pace.
The area around the lake is much flatter than the area around the creek, making it more suitable for settling down.
And since there is a lake, the surrounding resources must be rich, and you might be able to find a piece of fertile soil.
Xu Xin trotted and soon reached the edge of the lake.
Looking at the rippled lake surface and the finally broadened horizons, he breathed a long sigh of relief and felt a sense of relaxation all over his body.
This lake is really not small!
Of course, it can't be compared with a large lake where a large river converges, but it is also the size of an ordinary small reservoir.
The lake water is very clear. The middle of the lake looks very deep, but the lake shore is very shallow. Various fish and shrimps are swimming in the lake water. There are patches of reeds growing on the lake side. There are lotus leaves and lotus flowers on the lake surface. If it were not for the current situation, Xu Xin even felt like she was in a park.
[Reed (green): A plant growing by the lake, it seems to be a raw material for making some kind of tools. 】
[Lotus root (green): a kind of food that can be eaten raw or cooked. 】
"Good stuff!" One kind of raw material, one kind of food, this is really the best choice to settle down. But is there fertile soil around here...
Looking around, suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared in his field of vision.
"Blue light!"
Xu Xin's eyes lit up and she ran directly towards the blue light.
The shortest distance between the blue shrubs and the lake is only a few dozen meters.
[Red Berry·Big (Blue): A fruit that can be eaten directly. It tastes sour and sweet. It has the effect of improving eyesight. Eating it can give you 2 hours of night vision. 】
Xu Xin was shocked again: "Blue-quality red berries...can have such effects?"
However, these are not the point. He slowly looked down...
[Fertile soil (blue): A fertile soil, very rich in organic matter and other nutrients, which is rare even in the jungle. 】
"Beautiful!" He clenched his fist excitedly. Finally found it!
After calming down, he didn't rush to plant, but walked around the lake.
He wanted to see if there was any other fertile soil.
However, what disappointed him was that at least the area around the lake seemed to be the only fertile soil.
There is a lot of ordinary soil, much more than at the creek before. Basically, nearly half of the soil is green-level ordinary soil.
At a glance, the proportion of green is not much less than that of white, and there are also a few sporadic bits of blue, which are blue-level plants growing in green-level soil.
His guess must be correct. A certain level of soil can not only grow plants of the same level, but also have a certain probability of growing plants of a higher level.
It seems that a lake like this one is a suitable area for treehouses that survivors are looking for.
Although there is only one piece of fertile soil (blue), there is ordinary soil (green) everywhere. As long as you find such an area, you can at least minimize the probability of planting a "low tree house"!
After all, just hearing the name "low tree house" gives off an unsafe feeling.
After spending a long time without finding blue-level soil, Xu Xin stopped wasting time.
He returned to the blue and red berries at the beginning, and first picked all the [red berries, large], 32 in total.
Then he hesitated and tried not to dig up the bush. Instead, he dug a small hole next to it and planted the walnut-sized treehouse seeds.
After all, this piece of land is about one square meter in size, and the remaining half has no plants growing on it.
[Tree house seeds were successfully planted, with 2 hours remaining to grow]
【Wild plants growing in the soil have been automatically removed. 】
The first prompt made Xu Xin's eyes light up, but the second prompt immediately made him feel discouraged.
Sure enough, it doesn't work. It seems that a piece of soil can only grow one kind of plant.
The [Red Berry Large] shrub disappeared without a trace in an instant. At the same time, a small seedling emerged from the soil and began to grow at a speed visible to the naked eye. Within a minute, it grew into a small tree. Saplings.
Xu Xin was amazed. This growth rate is really amazing. (End of chapter)
