Chapter 973 The Difference from the Game
At this time, Chen Xuan couldn't help but feel excited when he looked at the Triceratops lying on the ground.
"Tomorrow morning it will be the first dinosaur I have tamed."
Having this triceratops means that he will have the ability to protect himself in the future.
Although I can't say it's invincible, at least I shouldn't have any problem moving safely.
"The next thing to do after taming this triceratops is very simple. Make a triceratops saddle, bring supplies, find a good time, and consider moving away."
"There are currently very few places suitable for settling on the entire island. The best place is called the Vegetarian Island, but it is just across the ocean. With my current ability, there is simply no way."
In fact, Chen Xuan knew very well that if the entire island was suitable for making a home, there were only a few places.
The first is the famous Vegetarian Island, which is an independent island.
There are several islands among the isolated islands that are relatively famous. The first is Vegetarian Island, the second is Alcatraz Island and the third Penguin Island.
In the Ark World, penguins can produce organic polymers, which can be used to manufacture some industrial equipment instead of polymers. This is also a very important resource. However, the weather on Penguin Island is extremely cold over the snowy mountains. If there is no mobile If you go home rashly, you may be miserable.
The bad weather and the dangers there can be said to have passed, and there is basically no follow-up. Even if he has this triceratops now, it is absolutely impossible to survive there safely.
As one of the dangerous areas, Snow Mountain is naturally the place where Giganotosaurus is refreshed, as well as the place where Titanosaurus is refreshed, the absolute overlord in the Ark. They are all in those areas, and there are also large dinosaurs such as Yutyrannosaurus there.
And these dinosaurs are also the biggest obstacle that prevents him from going to that area. The easiest way to go to the snowy mountains is to tame a pterosaur and let the pterosaur take him.
However, the combat effectiveness of the pterosaur itself is very low. If you take it with you, although you may not encounter any danger there, you are afraid of encountering the Argentine giant eagle, because there are also Argentine giant eagles operating over the snowy mountains.
As one of the overlords in the air, this is also something that needs to be considered.
"Forget it, don't even think about Penguin Island. Although Penguin Island not only has precious tourism resources, but there are also a large number of ore resources on the snow mountain next to it. There are also rare resources such as polymers on Penguin Island. .”
"It is no exaggeration to say that as long as you settle there and can establish a foothold, all kinds of materials in the industrial age can be collected."
"But this is not what I can get involved in now."
"And Alcatraz Island and Vegetarian Island are not something I can think of right now. After all, the area where they are located is too far away from the land."
"Although I can build a raft to cross over, there are various large carnivores in the ocean of the Ark, the most dangerous of which is the Lizardfish, which is called the ship killer."
This is a fish that swims through the water very fast.
The main reason why it is called a ship killer is because it actively attacks ships traveling on the coast.
This kind of fish will regard ships as plankton and the like, and this is its main source. Although it will not actively attack sharks or other marine creatures, it is relatively gentle in nature.
But it is a pity that ships will be the target of his hunting. If his ship is destroyed and he is still in the ocean, he will basically be in the cold. Although these two areas can be regarded as good residential areas, But it was obvious that this was not something he could think about.
"Except for these places, there is not much left."
"When I played games before, I would choose places with better scenery, but if I really want to develop, I will definitely give priority to areas with rich surrounding resources and high safety factors."
After thinking about it, he came up with a good location. Walking up the river on the other side of the grassland where he was now, he would reach a swamp area on one side and a high mountain on the other side of the swamp area.
And this is a relatively good residential area. It is easy to defend but difficult to attack. Moreover, the way down the mountain is on the back of the swamp, which means that creatures interfere with this area. The strongest dragons that are refreshed are Tyrannosaurus rex or Spinosaurus. It's not like a large dinosaur like Dorasaurus is incapable of fighting on its own side.
As long as that side is taken down and the road up the mountain is guarded, there is no need to worry about safety, and the place over there is big enough.
As for resources, there are large forests under the mountains where you can obtain resources such as wood and berries.
In addition, that area can be regarded as the middle area of the Ark map. It is relatively convenient to travel to the surrounding areas.
But after thinking about it, he finally shook his head.
"You can't think like that."
"To put it bluntly, it is indeed very convenient to travel to any area over there, but this is reality, not a game. In the game, I have tamed various dinosaurs that are indeed very safe to rely on, and they are not afraid of death. Anyway, they will be safe after death. It can be resurrected, but not in reality.”
Because no one spoke at this time, Chen Xuan's thoughts were all on arranging various things.
It was also because of this that he figured out a lot of things, and he also caught some of the deviations between the game and reality.
Thinking back to where he lived now, he couldn't help but sigh. Everything was good about where he lived, but the biggest flaw was that resources were too scarce.
Not to mention rare mineral resources, to put it bluntly, even the most basic wood has to go a long way to obtain.
No matter how safe this area is, it is basically impossible to develop rapidly. Anyone who wants to develop in a short period of time is inseparable from resources.
Since then, he has passed through many places in his mind, such as volcanoes.
The volcanic area can be regarded as the most resource-rich place, but there are too many carnivorous dinosaurs there. In fact, he also thought of a place at the foot of the volcanic mountain, near the mangrove area, with several very high peaks. It is also easy to defend but difficult to attack.
As long as you can go up there, it's basically very safe to settle down there. But the most embarrassing thing is that even if you solve the upper and lower problems, you still can't solve the core problem.
The core problem is that Giganotosaurus is also active in that area. To be precise, there is Giganotosaurus in the volcano not far from that area.
This thing is wandering around, maybe it will wander down.
"It won't work here, and it won't work there. In the final analysis, my strength is just too weak."
He was thinking a lot at this moment.
After thinking about it all night, he finally came up with a perfect place. This place is called the cliff, which is along the river towards the swamp, on the mountain closest to the swamp.
It's not so much a mountain as it is a high slope.
And there is a prominent cliff-like peak over there.
There is a swamp below the mountain. However, there is only one main road that can lead to the mountain. The other sides are cliffs. As long as the surrounding area is well prepared, the wall area can be regarded as a home.
And there are also rich resources there. The most important thing is that a creature called sheep is very likely to be spawned there.
In the Ark Island map, sheep are extremely rare birthdays, and sheep certainly have their own advantages.
As a special creature in the Ark, mutton is second only to feed in the efficiency of taming dinosaurs. If you catch two sheep, one male and one female, you can give birth to a lot of lambs. After you have sheep, you will not have the problem of taming dinosaurs in the future. Big.
That area is rich in materials and plants, and there is a mountain next to the cliff, which contains not only crystals, but also a large amount of metals. You only need to get through that swamp. After taming the flying dinosaurs, you can easily fly to the other side to collect resources and then transport them back.
To put it bluntly, the timeliness of collecting resources and going back and forth will also determine your development efficiency.
There are some places that are far away. It would be impossible to fly all day and night to the resource point to collect resources. The round trip takes two or three days. This is definitely not possible, but an area like that is undoubtedly the best.
After thinking about it for a long time, he finally decided to settle there.
There are several advantages to adding there. The first point is that it is close to this plain, and there are rare creatures like sheep that spawn.
The second point is that it is very close to some rare resource points.
The third point is that there is only one main road, which is relatively safe. Guard the main road. There is no need to worry about being harassed by other creatures. Stone walls can be built on the main road.
There is no doubt that this area is a good place to settle down. After thinking about it, he made a decision in his heart.
I just spent the whole night thinking about it.
Of course, he is also paying attention to the situation of the Triceratops at all times.
At this time, the Triceratops' dizziness had fallen low several times, but he used the black fruit he had prepared in advance to keep it up.
Looking at the satiety level, he couldn't help but frown.
"This dinosaur's satiety level has indeed dropped a bit slowly."
As he spoke, he couldn't help but sigh slightly.
Because according to his calculations, it shouldn’t take long to tame the Triceratops
"In the game, if you feed a level 150 Triceratops with berries, it will take almost ten hours to tame it."
"If you use feed, it only takes less than an hour."
"Nearly ten hours have passed since yesterday afternoon, but the satiety of the Triceratops has only dropped by less than 10%."
"At this pace, I estimate that I won't be able to tame this triceratops until at least the evening today, or tomorrow morning."
This made him a little surprised. If it weren't for one of his favorite things to do when playing games, which was to prepare some things that exceeded the standard to ensure everything was foolproof, I'm afraid he would have to find a way to go out and collect black berries now.
"It seems that many things in this world cannot be considered in the same way as in the game. There are still big changes in the game."
"I estimate that even if you want to tame a triceratops with feed, it will take at least a day."
What is this concept? In the game, the time consumed to tame a triceratops using feed is ten to twenty times less than using berries.
What does this mean? This means that if calculated according to this number, it will take at least a few months to tame a triceratops using normal things.
"This is ridiculous, it takes so long to tame it."
"But think about it. After all, this is a dinosaur. If it can be tamed so easily, then it is not a dinosaur. However, such a mechanism will make it extremely difficult for ordinary survivors to survive."< br>
"You may only need to play for a few hours or 10 hours in the game, not to mention how powerful it is, but at least there is no problem with the warranty, because these times are enough for you to trust a dinosaur, but in the real world, this is always the case A month or two, and that’s without the dinosaurs being attacked.”
"If you encounter a powerful dinosaur on the way, maybe the dinosaur you finally defeated or the dinosaur you have half tamed will be bitten to death."
And that's the real point.
The difficulty is increased by countless times compared to the game.
"If this is the case, then things will really be difficult to handle"
"At least I have to use feed if I want to tame dinosaurs in the future. Otherwise, who can bear it for such a long time?"
But none of this matters.
Because at the beginning of everything, I only need the first dinosaur. With this dinosaur to help me, it will be much easier to collect the feed for the second dinosaur.
It is no exaggeration to say that the Triceratops is his lifeblood now
Just keep waiting, and the time comes in the afternoon.
At this time, seeing that the Triceratops was almost full, the strong Chen Xuan took out the feed he had prepared without hesitation.
With the input of feed, the tameness of the Triceratops began to increase at an extremely fast rate.
Seeing this scene, Chen Xuan was also excited.
Immediately afterwards, I saw that the tameness level increased directly, and then the originally unconscious Triceratops slowly opened its eyes, and then stood up. At this time, the eyes of the Triceratops looking at Chen Xuan were no longer the same as before, but instead Very docile.
After checking the attributes of the triceratops, the level of this triceratops has reached level 225.
"It is perfectly tame."
"It's not in vain that I prepared for more than a week in advance."
Looking at the triceratops, Chen Xuan couldn't help but think in her heart.
In fact, judging from the current situation, with the Triceratops, it could completely return to its home in the dark, but he felt it was completely unnecessary. After all, don't take risks that you shouldn't take.
Don't put yourself in danger at any time, so he decided to wait until the second day before going back.
At this time, Lin Ya was extremely worried when she saw that Chen Xuan had not come back all day and night.
In the wooden house, he could only pray silently, hoping that Chen Xuan would come back.
She didn't know exactly what Chen Xuan was doing out there.
However, she knew very well that this time it might be related to the fact that if something happened to Chen Xuan in the future, there would be no follow-up. But if Chen Xuan came back, she had a hunch that earth-shaking changes would happen to them.
