Update Announcement:
1. The first expansion pack: Dawn of Civilization, is officially launched.
The Elf Civilization officially begins its revival due to the arrival of players.
To better build and develop the Elf Civilization, a large amount of resources and labor are required.
Players participating in civilization construction can obtain various titles and large experience rewards during the event.
2. Added a bestiary function, where players can upload data for monsters or flora and fauna encountered for the first time.
This includes information such as biological characteristics, habits, and weaknesses.
Note: Please use this function with caution.
3. Fixed a small number of bugs.
After finishing his work, Jiang Hao also opened League of Legends, ready to play a few ARAMs to pass the time.
"Master, it's a bit lively outside," Lilith, who had been quietly munching on fruit, suddenly looked up and said to Jiang Hao.
Jiang Hao said indifferently, "It's fine, let those animals make a fuss. After the players come online tomorrow, they'll know the consequences of not properly disposing of animal remains."
"Oh." Lilith nodded. Since her master didn't care, she naturally wouldn't meddle.
Just as she was about to bite into the fruit again, Jiang Hao said to her, "Oh, right, I currently have over five hundred soul power. Let's create five more player bodies. I'll pick a few lucky ones in a bit. We're still too short on people right now."
"Yes, Master." Lilith received Jiang Hao's command and immediately activated the player body cultivation system.
The next day, as soon as the five players came online, they eagerly rushed outside.
"Holy crap! Is this a monster siege?!" South Sea Warlord, who was running in front, had just stepped out when he saw the tragic scene before him.
The original Camp had completely changed its appearance, with bloodstains everywhere.
The only shed that had been there was now a complete wreck.
The other four were also startled by the sight.
At this moment, Jiang Hao also walked out, fully armed.
"Leader, are you alright?" I Love A Wood immediately approached with a fawning expression, showing concern.
Jiang Hao waved his hand and said, "Because you didn't properly dispose of the prey remains, many animals were attracted by the remains after dark."
The few of them suddenly realized.
"Leader, I request to guard you 24 hours a day starting today. Otherwise, it's too dangerous to let you face this kind of situation alone," South Sea Warlord immediately stood up and said righteously.
The others also reacted. This game was currently only open for twelve hours a day, which was far from enough playtime.
Moreover, the game didn't interfere with sleep, so they were willing to play even 20 hours a day.
Even Heitandou, who was still in school, spent his daytime thinking about getting into the game early.
Jiang Hao shook his head, refusing their kind offer.
"You are the future of the Elf. Currently, you are still too weak. It is I who should protect you. In the future, please remember to clean up food remains thoroughly."
South Sea Warlord still wanted to say something.
Jiang Hao, however, directly waved his hand and said, "Alright, a new day has begun. Who's going hunting with me today? The rest of you continue making tools."
It was time for a speed competition again. Since Heitandou had already accepted a quest yesterday, he was out of luck.
Ultimately, I Love A Wood, who had been prepared, took on the hunting quest.
Seeing I Love A Wood leave with Jiang Hao, the others also prepared to start their game for the day.
"Yesterday, we stupidly brought stones back to process them, which I think was a waste of time. Today, we'll do it by the creek. However, only two people need to go. This tool shed still needs to be repaired; who knows, it might have some special function," Never Empty Force proactively began analyzing today's arrangements.
The other three naturally agreed that he made sense.
"Besides repairing the house here at the Camp, we also need to make a fire and keep the embers alive. Yesterday, we only managed to get a fire going in the afternoon, and if we weren't so hungry, we wouldn't have eaten the meat before it was fully cooked. Today, we absolutely cannot make the same mistake," Heitandou added again.
The others naturally had no objections, and finally, the few of them discussed it.
Heitandou and Never Empty Force went to the small river to find stones and grind them into suitable stone tools right by the river.
South Sea Warlord and Hui Shou Tao stayed at the Camp.
The team split up again.
Heitandou followed Never Empty Force towards the small river.
"Oh, right, have you studied how to make stone tools online?" Never Empty Force, walking ahead, asked casually.
Heitandou nodded, and at the same time replied, "Of course, I even watched survival in the wilderness during class today. I think I'm terrifyingly strong now."
"Why are you pulling these vines?"
Heitandou was still beaming with pride, but Never Empty Force ignored him, instead pulling hard at the vines on the tree.
"Come help me. I can use these vines to weave baskets. I learned this during the day. With baskets, it'll be easier to transport things," Never Empty Force casually explained.
Heitandou also reacted and thought he made sense, so he immediately went to help.
Finally, the two of them carried two large bundles of vines to the small river.
The small river wasn't large, no more than ten meters wide, and the water was at most a little over a meter deep. More often, it was a stone beach washed out by floods.
There were many stones of varying sizes on it.
After Heitandou helped Never Empty Force clean the vine leaves, he walked onto the riverbank and began to pick and choose, looking for suitable stones to make tools.
"Huh? This stone…"
Heitandou, who was playing a treasure hunt game, suddenly discovered a special stone.
The stone was about the size of an apple, irregularly oval, and its mottled color was not as appealing as other stones at all.
But Heitandou picked up this stone and examined it carefully, occasionally tapping it against other stones in his hand.
He even licked it.
"Holy crap, it really is iron ore!!!"
Upon receiving this great news, Heitandou immediately took the stone and ran towards Never Empty Force.
"Kong Jun! I found iron ore!" From a distance, Heitandou began to shout.
Never Empty Force heard "iron ore" and didn't bother to correct his address, immediately standing up.
It wasn't until Heitandou handed him the strange stone that he examined it carefully.
"Are you sure this thing is the iron ore we've been longing for?"
"Absolutely. The rust on it and its unique color are almost identical to a mineral sample I saw in our school's specimen room. This is typical hematite ore."
"Your school?" Although Never Empty Force knew Heitandou was a university student, he didn't know what he specifically studied.
"Yes, I'm a petroleum drilling major, which also involves some mineral knowledge." Heitandou himself didn't expect that the first application of his major would actually be in a game.
"That's great! Go see if there are more of these ores. Pick them all up, and we'll use the baskets to carry them back in a bit."
"Okay!"
Heitandou agreed and turned to continue his treasure hunt on the riverbank.
And surprisingly, he found some more iron ore.
Approaching noon, the two carried the woven vine baskets back to the Camp.
Upon hearing the news of finding iron ore, the other two immediately rejoiced.
After all, the importance of iron tools to civilization was self-evident
