In the middle of the sky-blue treasure chest, there was a red question mark. Its material looked like glass. Andrew reached out and touched it, feeling icy cold, just like glass.
[Lucky Treasure Chest: A special treasure chest that is rare and only a lucky person can have a chance to come across. Typically, the Lucky Treasure Chest contains the things players want most! Do you want to open it?]
Open!
[Earth-type Beast Core +4]
[Grinding Stone Blueprint +1]
[Fruit Tomato +20]
[Skill Book: Precision]
[Fine Compass Blueprint +1]
[Disassemble Lucky Treasure Chest, Glass +10]
Oh?! Andrew's eyes lit up.
This Lucky Treasure Chest was indeed amazing. It contained everything he needed and couldn't buy on the trading market.
He even thought about making stew eggs with tomatoes when he saw the eggs today. Unexpectedly, there were tomatoes in the Lucky Treasure Chest!
But the tomato occupied a spot in the treasure chest. He didn't know if it was a profit or a loss.
After collecting all the treasures, his backpack was almost full. Andrew decided to go back to the warehouse to store the items.
He had gathered all the materials for the stone house, and it was time to upgrade the wooden house and build a fireplace since a cold wave was coming at night. He didn't want to freeze. Moreover, it was time to upgrade his equipment.
Once he returned to his house, Andrew couldn't wait to open the upgrade tree to upgrade the stone house. However, the result was:
[Stone 199/200, Mud 380/100, Wood 143/50, Vine 32/20, Glass 10/4, Earth Element Beast Core 4/4].
Andrew was a little dumbfounded. What was going on? He had even collected the hardest-to-get items like the Beast Core and Glass. But you're telling me that I'm missing a stone? He was speechless.
Fortunately, when Andrew was hanging water this morning, he also collected some extra raw materials, although not a lot. When he opened the [Trading Channel], rows of trading information immediately jumped out.
[-100ml of Drinking Purified Water, +1 Bamboo]
[-1500ml of Drinking Purified Water, +10 Stones]
[-300ml of Drinking Purified Water, +2 Wood]
[-2000ml of Drinking Purified Water, +10 Bronze]
[-500ml of Drinking Purified Water, +1 Silver]
[...]
All kinds of information kept popping up. Andrew looked at the total trade and received a total of 187 stones, 113 wood, 200 bamboo, 50 bronze, and 6 silver. There were still four of drinking water priced in silver that no one had exchanged. The remaining 78L of water had all been sold out.
"Simply outrageous profits!"
After retrieving the items from the trade channel, Andrew finally had enough materials to upgrade his stone house!
"Upgrade!!!"
[System prompt: Stone - 200, Mud - 100, Wood - 50, Vine - 20, Glass - 4, Earth-type Core - 4]
A golden light flashed.
The wooden houses around Andrew began to disassemble directly, and the wood spun like a tornado, quickly turning into stone.
Then the stones were stacked one by one into the gaps at a rapid pace, using the stacking method of Tetris, and before long, a stone house was completely finished.
The area of the stone house was more than twice as large as the previous wooden house, and the workbench and wooden bed in the room were still there.
In addition, there were several new areas.
[Fireplace: Can be built!]
[Alchemy Furnace: Can be built!]
[Pharmaceutical Table: Can be built!]
[Pet Cage: Can be built!]
Four new buildable items were added.
Andrew glanced around and indeed, after the upgrade, the lighting inside the house not only improved but the area and buildable items had also increased.
The stone house was over 100 square meters and had one wooden door and two glass windows.
The light shone into the house perfectly, making it warm and comfortable. Compared to the previous wooden house, it was indeed much more comfortable.
After upgrading the stone house, Andrew did not rush to upgrade anything else, but walked to the workbench and started making a short bow.
[Short Bow: Can attack prey within a 50-meter range. Beyond that range, accuracy is insufficient. Manufacturing conditions: Vine 12/2, Beast Tendon 1/1, Bamboo 219/1]
[System prompt: Short Bow +1, Vine -2, Beast Tendon -1, Bamboo -1]
A short bow over a meter long appeared in Andrew's hand.
Andrew tried it out.
Although the bow was slightly shorter, the quality was not bad!
Next, he made some arrows and try shooting outside.
Let's see the effect!
[Arrow: Bamboo 218/1, Feather 1000/2, Bronze 210/1]
[System prompt: Arrow +10, Bamboo -10, Feather -20, Bronze -10]
10 arrows were obtained.
Andrew took the bow and arrows and ran outside.
Then, not far from the stone house, he drew a target with charcoal on a tree!
Shoot!
Swish!
Andrew had no experience in archery.
The first arrow missed the target by a million miles and flew straight into the treetops.
"White Eagle, help me retrieve the arrow with your mouth!"
These arrows were not only made with feathers, but also with bronze, which was a relatively precious material. Andrew didn't want to waste them.
The white eagle called out and flew up with a flutter.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the white eagle arrived at the treetops and quickly grabbed the arrow with its feet before flying back toward Andrew.
However, halfway through the flight, the white eagle suddenly remembered something. It flew up high and then released the arrow from its feet. This left Andrew looking confused.
To his surprise, the white eagle then performed a spin and caught the falling arrow in its beak before flapping its wings and flying back toward Andrew.
Andrew finally understood why the white eagle had performed an acrobatic feat in mid-air. It was because of his request: retrieve the arrow with your mouth!
The silly bird thought that since its master had commanded it to retrieve the arrow using its beak, it could not use its feet to catch it.
Andrew couldn't help but laugh and cry at the same time. He also found the white eagle exceptionally cute.
To reward the white eagle's loyalty, Andrew threw it another piece of lightning leopard meat and said, "Well done!"
The white eagle was so happy to receive praise from its master that it wagged its head and danced around.
Then Andrew resumed practicing archery. Unfortunately, he could only hit the target with one arrow out of ten attempts, and even that one arrow missed the bullseye.
If he used this kind of archery to hunt moving prey, he would be in trouble!
However, this was normal since he was just an ordinary person who had never learned any archery techniques. It was natural for anyone who wanted to hit the target to need a lot of practice.
But Andrew had a trump card in his hand, a skill book called "Precision!" that he had obtained from a lucky treasure chest. He immediately used it to learn new archery techniques.
In the next moment, he felt as if his mind had been filled with a lot of information, including some archery techniques such as stance, 90-degree turn, ear placement of the bowstring, and focusing on the target.
He aimed and shot. It was as if he was being guided by some mysterious force.
Andrew easily released the bowstring, and the feathered arrow shot straight toward the bullseye.
Bang! It hit the target right in the center!
Not only did the arrow penetrate the target by an inch, but the tail of the arrow was still trembling, indicating its tremendous power!
