Chapter 105 Black Gold
Xu Xin thought for a while and decided to plant some fruits and vegetables first.
You don’t need to plant too many fruits. Pure green fruits have no effect other than filling your stomach and quenching your thirst.
Moreover, the current situation is that there are abundant fruits in the jungle, and there is no shortage of fruits for everyone. There is basically no market for their cultivation. Green-level poplars and pine trees are really too tall. Even if the height of the house is now five or six meters, it is not enough and there is no way to plant them inside the house.
Xu Xin planted a row of apple trees and a row of orange trees near the middle with a relatively high ceiling. Both types of trees can maintain a height of about three meters and are suitable for planting indoors.
Xu Xin casually sprinkled some red berries or strawberry seeds into the rest. Let's plant it first and wait until he finds green-level materials that can be grown inside the house.
It's not like Xu Xin has never considered growing cotton, but with these few flower pots, the yield is really pitiful, so she might as well forget it and open up a field below for planting after the rainy season passes.
The pine and birch forests downstairs have not yet fully grown, and I don't know if they will be affected by the heavy rain.
Coco was also on the top floor at this time, staring blankly at the sky above the glass, seemingly attracted to the sky.
Xu Xin picked up Coco and prepared to take it back to the third floor.
"Hey!" Coco suddenly pointed to the sky.
"There's danger!" Xu Xin suddenly became alert.
"Ugh." Coco shook her head and pointed to the sky, "Um!"
"There is no danger?" Xu Xin was a little confused, "What do you mean? You mean, what is there in the sky?"
"Hey!" Coco nodded.
"Isn't this thing dangerous?" Xu Xin also looked up at the sky. Through the glass, he could only see stars.
Coco shook her head, nodded again, then scratched her little head, maybe not knowing what to say, and buried her head in Xu Xin's arms.
Xu Xin touched its big tail that kept swinging and thought: "Perhaps it's because the next event is during the rainy season, so it's possible to sense changes in the weather in advance. Or..."
He looked up at the sky and narrowed his eyes.
"Or maybe this heavy rain season is caused by something, and this thing is now in the sky."
No matter what, Xu Xin doesn't have the ability to fight now. All he has to do is simply survive.
Everything inside the house has basically been taken care of, and the next step is to add weapons outside the house.
He now only has one heavy crossbow outside the house, and the range that the attack can cover is too small. The tree house is surrounded by four sides, and he needs to install three more.
When he hunted the blood-striped cat before, he also obtained two special materials that could be used to strengthen the heavy crossbow.
Xu Xin sent a message to Li Wenxi, asking for some iron pieces.
Li Wenxi was not slow to reply, but the content was not a transaction.
"Xu Xin, I got new metal ore!"
Um? New metal ore?
Xu Xin immediately put aside the transaction and directly sent a video call to Li Wenxi.
Li Wenxi in the video was also a little excited: "Xu Xin! Metal! A brand new metal, and it's blue level!"
At this time, Li Wenxi had a dark stone in his hand. It looked very inconspicuous, but under Xu Xin's identification ability, it was emitting blue light.
"What kind of ore is this? Did you get it from the chest in the dungeon?"
"No, I mined it. The exit of the underground city is a mine, and the mine is full of this kind of ore!" As she spoke, Li Wenxi raised another black metal block. Although it was black, it still glowed with color. Metallic luster.
The metal piece was very heavy. From the looks of it, it was quite difficult for her to lift it.
"These are smelted metal nuggets with very strange names, called black gold ore and black gold nuggets! But I don't know what they are used for."
Mine! Wouldn’t that be another inexhaustible ore!
I don’t know what kind of abilities this little rich woman has, but her family’s mines are getting more and more, which is really enviable.
"Well...it's useless for you to hold it, right? Why don't you..." Xu Xin really wants the black gold nugget in Li Wenxi's hand. With his ability, as long as he gets the black gold nugget and cooperates with his existing raw materials, he can unlock about The recipe for black gold!
"Hey, I know you have the ability to make metal utensils. I gave this to you, how will you repay me? Ah!" Li Wenxi smiled and shook the black gold nugget in her hand. It turned out that the black gold nugget was too heavy and she couldn't hold it firmly. fell to the ground.
With a "bang" sound, Li Wenxi quickly picked up the black gold nugget, then patted her chest, "It's okay, okay, it didn't damage the floor."
From her tone, it seemed that she was already planning to give the black gold to herself. Xu Xin breathed a sigh of relief.
"How about you get a share of everything I make related to black gold?" Xu Xin said with a smile.
"You said it, don't go back on it. I'll provide you with raw materials, and you have to do it for me for free!"
Li Wenxi is not so naive, but as Xu Xin said, she can only use this metal in her hand as a brick, and it is too heavy to use. It is better to give it to someone who can use it, and win-win cooperation. .
"Free OEM?" Xu Xin looked troubled, "Then your raw materials..."
"I won't charge you any money! You can use it as much as you want, but I have to make a copy of everything you make!" Li Wenxi, a wealthy man, directly initiated the transaction with a wave of her hand and transferred the piece of metal in her hand. It was given to Xu Xin in vain.
This profit is equivalent to Xu Xin exchanging one finished product for two raw materials. The profit margin is 100%!
Cooperation of technology and resources, a win-win situation!
Xu Xin received the piece of black gold. The moment he held it in his hand, his hand sank and he almost lost his grip.
So heavy!
[Black gold nugget (blue): Hardness and toughness have reached an extreme balance. It is a very tough metal block and has extremely strong conductivity! 】
Extremely conductive!
Could it be...
Xu Xin immediately opened the production list, and the new production blueprint made him open his eyes wide.
[Basic electrical appliance production bench (blue): You can make basic electrical appliances, provided that the production method is unlocked. Requires black gold nuggets (blue)*5, iron nuggets (green)*20, wood (green)*20]
It's an electrical appliance!
Xu Xin became excited instantly. He thought he could unlock the electrical appliances only after obtaining copper and silver ingots. Unexpectedly, the electrical appliance production station needed this special metal.
"How many black gold nuggets do you have now?" Xu Xin asked Li Wenxi hurriedly.
"Five or six pieces have been refined. What, the blueprint has been unlocked? What is it?" Li Wenxi was a little curious. The introduction of the black gold piece in her hand was [a very tough metal with special properties], and did not say that there was one. What function.
"Electrical appliances! We may be able to use electrical appliances. Give me another four dollars and I will make a crafting station!"
"Really?! I'll get it for you!" Li Wenxi's eyes widened, and she immediately left the screen. After about ten seconds, she ran back and directly initiated a transaction to Xu Xin. He was given four pieces of black gold.
Xu Xin immediately made the [Basic Electrical Appliances Production Table (Blue)].
Then he eagerly opened the list of production stations.
To his disappointment, there was only one production item on the list at this time: [Lightning Rod].
This... lightning rod is also considered an electrical appliance?
[Lightning rod (blue): A metal needle that can avoid lightning damage. The absorbed lightning can provide electricity for the tree house. Requires black gold nuggets (blue)*5】
Xu Xin instantly stopped feeling that the lightning rod was useless.
This is a thunderstorm charger!
However... there is only one production item on this list, and there are no other electrical appliances or devices for storing electricity. This... at this stage, it really has no other use except lightning protection.
But it can be considered a timely rain. After all, the rainy season is coming soon.
"Why are there no other electrical appliances? Do we still need copper ore and silver ore?" Xu Xin pondered, "My ability is to have all kinds of raw materials to unlock the blueprint. It seems that those electrical appliances need other materials."
Li Wenxi's voice came from the other side of the screen: "How about it? What kind of electrical appliances can be made? Can we finally have electricity?"
"I disappoint you." Xu Xin returned to the screen and spread her hands helplessly, "It seems that electrical appliances need other metals to unlock. The production station can only make lightning rods. Please pay more attention to the copper ore and silver ore in the future. Class.”
"Ah~ Bai is so happy. I've been paying attention to the copper mine, but I haven't found it yet. But a lightning rod will do, too. It's going to be a rainy season soon. How many black gold nuggets are needed to make it? I'll give it to you!"
"It takes five black gold nuggets to make one, so give me ten." Xu Xin calculated clearly.
"Ah? So many? Are you lying to me and trying to trick me into mine?" Li Wenxi looked at Xu Xin with some suspicion, and then persuaded Xu Xin earnestly, "Actually, you don't have to trick me into mine, as long as you also make me a share , whatever you want to use.”
"Who cheated you?" Xu Xin rolled her eyes angrily, and passed the attributes of [Lightning Rod], "See for yourself."
"We really need so much..." Li Wenxi touched her head in embarrassment, "Then wait a minute and let me see if the ore I brought back this time is enough. It's a long way there, and I don't know what to do. Sometimes you can have transportation tools. ”
"..." Xu Xin resisted bragging about his Silver King to her because he was afraid that Li Wenxi would feel unbalanced. Fortunately, Silver King usually rests in the corner, and the angle of the video on the screen cannot be seen at all.
"Wait a moment, enough is enough, the refining is very slow, so wait. How about you make me a crafting table? Then I can make it myself."
"You haven't unlocked the crafting blueprint, and you can't use the crafting station."
"What you said makes sense, let's forget it for now. I will give you black gold nuggets in two hours."
"Okay. Give me some iron blocks, I don't have enough here."
"Oh, okay, I haven't noticed just now. You decorated the tree house very beautifully. It's amazing!"
"Ha, we can't live such a rough life forever."
After hanging up the video, Xu Xin immediately made two blue-level heavy crossbows made of special materials and a normal blue-level heavy crossbow, and placed them in the other three directions, so that the attack range of the heavy crossbow could be Covering the entire tree house.
However, it is not full coverage, because the heavy crossbow is located under the wall of the first floor. It can attack the lower part of the tree house's crown, but it cannot attack positions too close to the tree trunk, nor can it attack the tree trunk.
If you want to attack these positions, Xu Xin can only come out by himself, let the roots of the tree house hang him under the canopy, and then attack with a crossbow or sharp spear.
In this way, he renovated the tree house inside and out, and the busy work was finally finished.
Next, Xu Xin has to decide an important matter.
Should we give Silver King a mutation potion to turn him into a mutated creature?
