Liao Fan wanted to curse even more!
'Why is God making things so difficult?!'
The wooden treasure chest could clearly be stored in the inventory. However, after it was filled with water, it was not possible anymore.
This was obviously the system restricting players from using this method to carry water.
Only bottles or containers that were synthesized could be used.
Liao Fan did not know whether to laugh or cry.
It was really an unexpected turn of events.
The treasure chest filled with water was rather heavy.
If he were to carry the chest all the way back by himself, his movement speed would definitely be slowed down.
Although the time had seemed sufficient, Liao Fan felt reluctant.
Suddenly, he remembered some synthesis items that required clay blocks. They might be useful.
Liao Fan's eyes lit up.
He immediately accessed the system's interface.
The production table appeared and Liao Fan quickly threw a piece of clay block on it.
Clay and water were needed to make earthenware.
So, he added in the water as well.
[ Clay: Made by adding water into a clay block and then mixing them together evenly. It can be used to make earthenware. ]
'As expected!'
Liao Fan had a pleased expression on his face.
He guessed correctly!
[ Clay block + water = clay ]
Although the synthesis system was not completely accurate, it made some sense.
Next, he would need to shape the clay by using high temperature!
That meant he required fire.
Thinking of this, Liao Fan's smile disappeared.
At the moment, the only source of fire he had was from the torch!
'Would it work if I added the torch in?'
Liao Fan looked at the torch he was holding.
It had already burned halfway through.
He gritted his teeth as he took out a new torch and lit it.
Then, he threw the used torch onto the production table!
The crafting table lit up and he had successfully obtained ceramics!
There was an additional surprise as well!
[ Rough Earthen Ceramic: The workmanship is very rough. There may be a possibility of cracking. Handle with care. Each ceramic can store about two liters of water. The ceramic can also be stored in your inventory. ]
"Oh my God, the ceramics are made in bulks and I got five of them!"
Having five ceramics meant that Liao Fan could store up to a total of ten liters of water!
Liao Fan was happy, but he decided to further enhance the ceramics!
[ Regular Ceramic: The workmanship is ordinary. Has normal quality. Each ceramic can store about three liters of water. The ceramic can also be stored in your inventory. ]
"Hahaha, from two liters to three liters. This means that I can hold up to fifteen liters of water!"
Liao Fan's heart was racing. This was his goal all along
He immediately filled the five pieces of earthenware with water and stored them in the inventory!
Nonetheless, Liao Fan did not let happiness cloud his judgment! He did not forget the situation he was in.
The time he had left continued to reduce.
Getting the water had already taken six minutes!
The torch in his had also burned halfway through.
He quickly picked up the treasure chest that was filled with water.
The fish in the treasure chest felt the movements. It made a splash as if it was trying to mock Liao Fan.
Liao Fan paid the fish no attention and directly closed the lid!
He did not regret his action at all.
Food was scarce. Other Lords even fed on their own villagers.
Since the fish was a source of food, he should definitely take advantage of it.
One extra meal could extend his life for a couple of days.
It was a wise decision.
The road back was very difficult.
Since the treasure chest was rather big, Liao Fan had to carry it with both of his hands. He clutched the torch by biting it with his mouth.
It was a very uncomfortable position.
After all, Liao Fan had no choice.
Without the torch, he would die!
Fortunately, the second villager was not too far away.
Liao Fan would definitely not make it back to the cottage by himself!
...
"My Lord, you have worked hard!"
The second villager had just finished collecting. He was sweating profusely. The stone axe he was carrying was also damaged beyond repair.
He immediately rushed towards Liao Fan.
Then, he took the treasure chest off his master's hands.
"Huff!"
Liao Fan let out a long sigh of relief.
He held the torch in his hands again and said, "Follow me. We'll be returning to the cottage!"
As he said that, Liao Fan took one last look at the dense jungle behind him.
There were truly a lot of resources.
If he expanded his territory to this place, then many of his problems would be solved!
This idea was rooted in Liao Fan's mind.
The harvest from this exploration was very bountiful.
Not only did Liao Fan manage to find food, but he also obtained a lot of essential resources!
Liao Fan could not wait to return to the thatched cottage.
He could continue to study his ability and increase his strength.
Then, he would be able to advance in this world.
Many treasures were yet to be found!
Furthermore, the system's notification earlier had revealed something important.
[ When you cover more than 60% of an area, the fog will completely disperse! ]
That sentence could bring endless possibilities!
