Whether they’re in the mountain or underground, as long as they’re within my exploration range, I can immediately see where the metal ores are!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wenxi said this as she stood up from the sofa, walked to the window, and pointed to a small hill not far away: \"Inside that small hill, there are metal ores. You can’t see them from outside; you need to dig a few meters deeper to find them. And over there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then she pointed in another direction, upstream from the little river next to Qi Xuefei’s tree house: \"Underneath the riverbed, there are metal ores too!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Can you tell what type of metal ores they are?\" Ji Chaoyang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Uh... no.\" Li Wenxi replied a bit sheepishly, \"I can only see white glows indicating something’s there, but I can’t tell what type of ore until we dig it out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xin also walked up to Li Wenxi and looked out the window towards the places she pointed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t see anything special about the hill that Li Wenxi pointed to first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But under the riverbed, his alchemy ability reacted. A yellow glow lit up from that spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s metal that can be used for alchemical materials!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Currently, the metals usable for alchemical materials are only four types: iron, silver, gold, and dark gold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The metal under the riverbed is likely one of these four.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If it’s silver, that would be great. With silver, maybe they could make electrical appliances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>... Could it be copper?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your ability, it can’t be just this, right?\" Xu Xin turned to Li Wenxi, raising an eyebrow as he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Special exploration abilities, both he and Qi Xuefei had them, but this wasn’t their main ability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hehe, of course!\" Li Wenxi jumped up and sat on the windowsill, swinging her legs, \"My ability, besides prospecting, is also shown in mining.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Mining?\" Qi Xuefei continued, \"Is your mining efficiency higher than ours?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Wenxi didn’t explain but instead pulled a steel pickaxe from her backpack and handed it to Xu Xin: \"Look at this!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xin took the steel pickaxe.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Prospector’s Steel Pickaxe (Blue): A special steel pickaxe only prospector can make, with extremely high mining efficiency, capable of mining all types of ores below purple grade, and has a 20% chance to extract triple resources. Durability: 5000]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is... a custom steel pickaxe?\" Xu Xin was taken aback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This introduction is really eye-catching!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The mining efficiency is extremely high! It’s the first time he’s seen the adjective \"extremely high\"! Plus, there was an additional special entry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[20% chance to extract triple resources]!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Very strong, this entry is very strong! It essentially can enhance the total output from a mine! Moreover, the 20% chance is quite high, meaning every five swings, one might bring triple mineral resources!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they’re mining high-grade resources, then it’s highly rewarding!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most importantly, this isn’t Li Wenxi’s unique ability, but a pickaxe’s capability, meaning as long as someone possesses this pickaxe, anyone could have high mining efficiency and a chance for triple extraction!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, it’s entirely possible to form a team with high mining efficiency using pickaxes like this!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Xu Xin’s widened eyes, Li Wenxi displayed a proud expression: \"What do you think, strong huh?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Xin pursed his lips and nodded: \"Indeed strong, it’s a must-have for a mining leader!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Leader of miners, what a terrible title! Call me Prospector!\" Li Wenxi was very displeased with Xu Xin’s title and gave him a light punch.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What are you guys talking about?\" Qi Xuefei asked, puzzled, then teased Li Wenxi, \"So, are you only sharing your ability with your little boyfriend and not us?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No way!\" Li Wenxi blushed and turned to Xu Xin, \"Have you looked at it? If you have, show it to them!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Chaoyang wasn’t in a hurry, watching both of them as he waited for an explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let me explain,\" Xu Xin returned the steel pickaxe to Li Wenxi and explained, \"This pickaxe has extremely high mining efficiency and a 20% chance to extract triple resources. Also, she can make unique furnaces.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at Li Wenxi, prompting her to continue her explanation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well... that furnace has a certain chance to smelt more advanced resources.\" Li Wenxi continued, explaining herself. Then she glanced at Xu Xin, muttering to herself, \"So, the chance is 20%!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without appraisal ability, she couldn’t see the detailed introduction, only knowing there was a certain probability. She didn’t know it was 20%, so she had to figure it out by trial and error.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"More advanced resources?\" Ji Chaoyang and Qi Xuefei both sat upright, looking surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"... Can it smelt purple-grade ones?\" Ji Chaoyang asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Of course it can, it has already smelted them before—purple-grade steel blocks!\" Li Wenxi nodded and then flashed a mysterious smile, \"Actually, I personally have another trait. Without this mining pickaxe, I could still have a chance for multiple critical hits while mining! Want to guess what’s the maximum multiplier I could get?\"\u003C\u002Fp>",885,"2026-06-02T07:15:08.092Z",1,"novelbin.me","c249b6ceaa46ec369d547b8def4b517cbf4a75d5d3ad7e78706335bfd55144c6","starting-off-survival-with-a-small-treehouse-chapter-266","starting-off-survival-with-a-small-treehouse-chapter-264",1122,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-off-survival-with-a-small-treehouse-cover.jpg"]
