Chapter Six In the small garden, dig, dig, dig
When the man-eating flower started to move, its roots suddenly came alive, continuously growing taller!
Chen Ming quickly rolled towards the large tree behind him on the left.
"Bang!"
The man-eating flower spun around, and its big mouth directly bit off the large tree in front of Chen Ming. With the opening and closing of its mouth, the tree trunk as thick as a water bucket was directly crushed!
What a powerful set of teeth!
Chen Ming's face turned pale.
If he remembered correctly, it would take him several minutes to chop down this tree even with his silver-grade stone axe!
But this man-eating flower just bit it off in one go!
Considering an equal exchange, if his stone axe were to be touched by that big mouth, it would probably also end up being crushed!
Thinking in his mind, he couldn't afford to be careless in his actions, and began to run around the flower's roots.
He had already figured out how to deal with this man-eating flower!
If a direct confrontation doesn't work, then we run!
Victory through escape!
After a few minutes, Chen Ming finally stopped and looked at the man-eating flower in front of him, entangled by his own roots, nodding in satisfaction.
At this moment, the flower's big mouth was still stretching forward, trying to bite Chen Ming, who was less than three meters away!
The greatest weakness of the man-eating flower is its roots!
When it attacked earlier, the roots of the man-eating flower were underground, not giving Chen Ming a chance to succeed.
After its roots were exposed, this idea formed in his mind!
Avoiding its terrifying big mouth, Chen Ming held the stone axe and approached its base.
Unlike the huge mouth of the man-eating flower, its roots were very thin, about the thickness of an adult's thigh.
Swinging the stone axe directly down, after several back-and-forth strikes, the root was directly chopped off, and purple liquid kept gushing out.
Losing the support of its roots, the man-eating flower directly dropped its mouth downwards.
Chen Ming did not approach immediately.
He knew that the opponent had not completely died!
The reason was simple—it couldn't be harvested!
Cunning fellow!
With a sneer, he gradually distanced himself from the opponent, walked to the side of a goat, and began to harvest.
[Ding! Successfully harvested goat carcass, obtained lamb meat x1, wool x10, goat horn x2]
Most of the goat had been corroded clean, and it was quite difficult to gather intact lamb meat.
The wool was also scarce, barely enough to make a blanket.
After placing these items in his dimensional backpack, Chen Ming looked towards the man-eating flower from a distance.
He wanted to see how long the opponent could endure!
Five minutes...
Ten minutes...
While Chen Ming was eating bread, the man-eating flower in front of him finally convulsed slightly, and then a [Harvestable] mark appeared above it.
Seeing this scene, Chen Ming exclaimed, "Wow!"
Did this man-eating flower endure itself to death?
Impressive!
However, with the appearance of the [Harvestable] indicator, he could now safely approach.
After completing the harvest, the huge man-eating flower in front of him disappeared.
Successfully harvested man-eating flower rot x2, man-eating flower seed x1.
There was no need to explain about the rot; it was highly corrosive and could be useful in critical moments.
As for the seed, it needed planting, and growing it could protect the household!
It had a slow growth cycle and also needed to be fed with flesh!
After retrieving everything into his dimensional backpack, Chen Ming finally arrived next to the Lifespan Roulette.
The silver-grade Lifespan Roulette consumed one year of lifespan for each spin!
Without hesitation, Chen Ming pressed the button in the middle.
Soon, a series of reward lists appeared in front of him.
These were the rewards that could be obtained from the silver-grade Lifespan Roulette!
They included several gold-grade items, mostly silver-grade items, and a few bronze-grade items.
Since specific rewards were indicated, he naturally wanted to choose the best ones.
He skipped the silver and bronze options directly!
Among the gold-grade items were:
[1. Sharp dagger]
[2. Water tank blueprint]
[3. Hand-cranked generator]
[4. Queen bee swarm]
[5. Gold bars x10]
There were a total of five options.
Among them, the queen bee swarm seemed like a trap, choosing it would harm himself, so it was immediately ruled out.
While the sharp dagger was good, it was too short!
For Chen Ming, the longer the better, and the stone axe he currently held suited him more.
Option 1 could also be excluded.
The generator looked tempting but was hand-cranked, which was too troublesome!
Also, there were no electrical devices in his wooden house that needed it, so he could let it go.
The gold bars seemed like high-level resources he didn't need at the moment.
Only the water tank blueprint seemed appealing to him.
Let's not forget he already had a blueprint for a water condenser.
Once the water condenser was finished, he could continuously produce water resources.
At that time, it would be essential to have a water tank to store water resources.
Don't forget that a month later, there would be an absolute heat test!
Water was absolutely critical!
[Ding! Congratulations to the player for obtaining the water tank blueprint x1!]
With the disappearance of the Lifespan Roulette, Chen Ming gained a new blueprint in his hand.
It was indeed the water tank blueprint!
After using it, Chen Ming continued to walk deeper into the forest.
He hadn't forgotten the purpose of his trip this time.
Rubber and iron ore!
Half an hour later, Chen Ming finally encountered a small iron ore vein at the foot of a mountain!
This iron ore vein was hidden exceptionally deep.
If not for Chen Ming being attracted by a nearby berry tree, he might not have discovered this small iron ore vein!
"That should be enough for a while!"
Chen Ming didn't start right away but found a spot to sit down, took out a berry he had just picked from the tree, and took a bite, letting the juice fill his mouth.
During the gathering, it was stated that these berries could be eaten directly without worrying about poisoning!
After resting for a moment, he took out a pickaxe from his dimensional backpack and started digging!
As the first pickaxe fell, Chen Ming could feel the hardness of the iron ore!
It was too hard!
It was on a completely different level compared to stone!
Normally, the stone axe would be ineffective against iron ore.
Unfortunately, this was not a normal world!
In this world's setting, the pickaxe acted as a tool with a bonus for mining iron ore.
This meant that the mining efficiency was low, but it indeed chipped away at the ore!
Seeing this, Chen Ming was filled with joy. With ample food to support him, he didn't have to worry about running out of energy.
"In the small garden, dig, dig, dig!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
Accompanied by a leisurely song, each strike resonated with a strong impact, and the iron ore gradually fell, which Chen Ming then collected into his dimensional backpack.
For the whole day, Chen Ming actively mined the iron ore.
By close to five in the afternoon, he halted his mining activities and prepared to search the surroundings for traces of rubber.
Unfortunately, after searching for nearly half an hour, he found nothing.
As the sky darkened, Chen Ming considered his safety and hastened back to his wooden house.
Around six o'clock, Chen Ming returned to his wooden house safely.
After blocking the door with iron ore, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Today's harvest was indeed huge!
Sitting on the grass mat, he took out a piece of bread and an apple, and began browsing the chat interface, to see if anything unusual had happened today.
"What's going on? I'm not the first player to upgrade to a Level 2 cabin! Who stole my gift package, come out!"
"Someone already has a Level 2 cabin? I've only gathered half the resources to upgrade! It's really frustrating when others outperform you!"
"Wang Hu is just lucky. He encountered two treasure chests and a Lifespan Roulette today, and successfully upgraded!"
"In that case, the person who upgraded the cabin before Wang Hu must be even luckier, picking up treasure chests everywhere?"
"I work hard every day cutting down trees and mining stones, and I was about to upgrade tomorrow, but you're telling me the gift package is gone?"
"Is there anyone generous enough to share some resources? I'm disabled and can't cut trees or mine!"
"Weren't we supposed to be far from each other? Why did someone find my wooden house? My wooden door can't hold for long!"
