Chapter 181: Survival Game System (10)
Xie Yang was busy and had no idea what was happening on the Communication Channel.
After landing on the Nameless Island, she followed the mineral distribution map and found Aluminum Ore, Iron Ore, Copper Ore, Gold Ore, and Titanium Ore one after another, which thrilled her.
Isn't this happier than a bear discovering a honey pot or a mouse falling into a pot of cheese?
Unfortunately, she only had two hands and one Cross Pickaxe; although she was strong, she couldn't overcome the low efficiency.
Unable to think of a better way to mine for the time being, she could only grind away like crazy.
First, she mined the Iron Ore necessary for upgrading.
【Obtained Iron Ore*10】
【Obtained Iron Ore*10】
【Obtained Iron Ore*10】
【Obtained Iron Ore*10】
【Obtained……】
One-click harvest of N Iron Ore.
While putting them into her Backpack Slot, Xie Yang saw the Tool Bench she had packed before leaving this morning.
At the time, she thought she would be on the Nameless Island for a day and a night, and what if she needed this thing halfway through and couldn't reach it? So she just tossed it into her backpack.
Now that she thought about it, she really was a clever little thing, so farsighted!
She mined Iron Ore, and the Tool Bench clattered away making Iron Nails on the side; nobody was allowed to be idle!
Sub-system: 【Host is 666!】
Main System: 【Just the Host's basic operations.】
The Survival Game System, which caught a glimpse of this scene: 【……】
Did it accidentally let a loophole in?
Xie Yang spent three hours emptying the current iron mine.
She sat down to rest, took out her thermos to replenish some warm water, and checked the quantity of Iron Ore; there were about 500, which meant enough Iron Nails for the next upgrade.
So, she began to mine other ores.
The order was naturally to mine the most valuable ones first:
【Obtained Gold Ore*10】
【Obtained Gold Ore*10】
【Obtained Titanium Ore*10】
【Obtained Titanium Ore*10】
【Obtained Copper Ore*10】
【Obtained Copper Ore*10】
【Obtained Aluminum Ore*10】
【Obtained Aluminum Ore*10】
【Obtained Rare Ore*10】
【Congratulations to player GY for lighting up the "Rare Ore" in the Rare Illustrated Handbook, reward Blind Box Treasure Chest*1】
"……"
Xie Yang's mechanical mining movements paused, so she simply stopped to rest for a while and opened the Game Panel to check the second rare resource lit up in the Rare Illustrated Handbook—Rare Ore.
【Palladium Ore: A key material for shipbuilding. Mall recycling price: 1000 Gold Coin】
"!!!"
She was rich, she was rich!
Seeing the recycling price of Palladium Ore, Xie Yang's first reaction was: she had struck gold!
The recycling price of this Palladium Ore was actually 1000 Gold, a full 10 times that of gold!
Then what was she waiting for!
Mine!
This mining lasted until dark.
She obtained a total of 200 pieces of Palladium Ore.
Although the Cross Pickaxe didn't have a usage limit like an axe, it had too much wear and went on strike.
The Tool Bench also worked until it was smoking.
Xie Yang had no choice but to put them into her Backpack Slot and, carrying the day's harvest, look for a place to stay for the night.
Perhaps because this island was a dungeon, it was unaffected by the low temperature; the sea still ebbed and flowed, but the tide began to rise after nightfall.
Xie Yang had no choice but to climb to higher ground.
She made do for the night in the mine cave she had dug herself.
The next morning, she woke up before dawn.
First, she didn't sleep very soundly in the wild environment.
Second, if she didn't get enough sleep, she could make it up in the Wooden House, but she could only stay on the Nameless Island for 24 hours; it would be a pity to use that time for sleeping.
Unfortunately, she had no tools left to mine with.
After thinking about it, she took the previously dull, broken axe out of her Backpack Slot.
Now that she had plenty of Iron Ore, she would add some to see if the Tool Bench could re-forge it and return a brand-new Cast Iron Axe to her.
The Tool Bench had no consciousness; even if it had worked until it smoked yesterday, after cooling down for a night, it could continue to serve the player.
She placed the dull, broken axe into the slot, and the Tool Bench was confused:
【No usable materials detected】
Xie Yang fumbled around on the Tool Bench for a long time, not knowing which switch she had pressed—
【Manual mode activated. Please select Production or Repair?】
Xie Yang was amused and immediately selected "Repair."
Manual mode meant she needed to hold the axe that required repair and grind it on the Tool Bench.
"……"
That works too!
Although she hadn't leveled up her forging skill, she still knew how to simply sharpen a dull-edged axe!
After patiently spending half an hour, she finally repaired the "Dull-edged Waste Axe" into a "Second-hand Axe That Can Still Fight."
Xie Yang: "……"
A second-hand axe is a second-hand axe.
As long as it works!
Since the axe could be repaired, what about the Cross Pickaxe?
Xie Yang took the Cross Pickaxe, which was too dull to use, out of her backpack and placed it on the Tool Bench.
Half an hour later, she gained a "Second-hand Cross Pickaxe That Can Barely Fight."
Xie Yang: Hmm, she could also still fight.
And so, that morning, she used the repaired Cross Pickaxe to harvest over a dozen more pieces of Palladium Ore.
Until—the second-hand Cross Pickaxe completely gave out; not only was it too dull to chisel through the rock wall, but its "body" also completely fell apart.
Now she had no choice but to give up.
Fortunately, after daybreak, the seawater gradually receded, leaving behind many marine resources:
"Clams?"
"Razor clams?"
"Oysters?"
"Crabs?"
"Sea Urchins?"
"Octopus?"
"Lobster?"
"Not bad, not bad! These are all things I love to eat!"
"Yo! There are even pearl mussels and large sea snails here!"
The Sub-system cheered as always: 【Host is 666!】
Main System: 【……】
Its host really loved to scavenge wherever she went.
Survival Game System: 【……】
Is this player a bug?
……
Once the 24 hours were up, Xie Yang was ejected back to her Wooden House.
She first went into the bathroom to take a hot spring bath, returned to the living room feeling refreshed, drank a cup of warm water to soothe her stomach, and only then sat down to take stock of yesterday's harvest.
This trip to the Nameless Island was mainly aimed at ores, and the mineral resources of the Nameless Island did not disappoint her; in total, she dug up:
Palladium Ore * 220;
Gold Ore * 100;
Titanium Ore * 120;
Copper Ore * 200;
Aluminum Ore Stone * 120;
Iron Ore * 650.
Among them, the quantity of Iron Ore was the largest, but in terms of value, it was undoubtedly the Palladium Ore.
220 pieces of Palladium; she could make a profit selling them to the Game Mall!
But the higher the buyback price, the less Xie Yang intended to sell.
On one hand, this was a necessary material for shipbuilding; secondly, if she needed it for future upgrades and hadn't dug up any more Palladium Ore, buying it back from the Game Mall wouldn't just cost 1000 Gold Coins.
Since there was still enough space in her Backpack Slots, she would just hoard it.
Besides ores, she also harvested a pile of seafood, with a wide variety of types.
Fortunately, the Storage Space of the Sub-system could still hold quite a few things; otherwise, relying on the 10-slot Game Backpack, she would have been afraid of having to discard this seafood.
At the time, because she was in a rush, she just loaded whatever she saw into buckets and basins without looking carefully at whether they were dead or alive.
She wouldn't go out today; she would stay home, process the seafood she had gathered, and make a seafood feast to reward herself.
For this, she didn't even drink her Nutrient Solution, spending 10 Gold Coins in the Game Mall to buy a "Fresh Baked Bread" to pad her stomach.
Anyway, she wasn't short on Gold Coins now; even if the rewards were spent, didn't she still have hundreds or thousands of metal ores? Selling two pieces would cover the cost.
Not to mention, the Game Mall's baked bread was a bit expensive, but the taste was truly excellent.
When she got it, it was like it had just come out of the oven; the crust was crispy, the inside was fluffy, delicious!
