Chapter 8 - Chapter 5

Synthesize three or four extra stone pickaxes and keep them in your backpack for backup. Break the workbench and carry them with you.

  The sky has completely darkened at this moment, and it's time to go to bed.

  However, this is MC, isn't the first day for mining?

  Sleep like a jerk!

  "It's time to go to the mine."

  Swords and other things are not needed for the time being, and pickaxes are not impossible, so there is no need to waste extra sticks.

  "Everything is ready, goal, find coal, gain experience, and upgrade!"

  ...

  "No, why is this coal so difficult to dig!" The stone pickaxe in his hand cracked with a bang, fell to the ground and disappeared without a trace. Bai Li reluctantly took out a new stone pickaxe and continued to dig.

  This is the fourth stone pickaxe that has exploded in his hand. There are so many stones in the backpack that there are two or three groups, but there is not a single coal!

  In order to find coal with the greatest efficiency, Bai Li used the cross excavation method, which is to dig two grids each in front, back, left and right. After all, there is only nine grids of space.

  At the same time, the height difference between each plane is exactly two blocks, ensuring that the blocks above and below Bai Li's field of vision will not be repeated.

  Even so, he still hasn't seen any trace of coal.

  This inevitably makes Bai Li a little discouraged.

  After all, Bai Li has been digging repeatedly. Although Bai Li still has plenty of physical strength, he also feels a little mentally exhausted.

  How about today.

  No!

  I have dug here, and I only have so many sticks. If I want to go up, the stairs are not enough. I have to pad myself up with soil and stones again, and I have to dig again next time.

  Even if I dig up one, no, just one, I will call it a day!

  Bai Li thought so and began to compete with himself.

  A long time passed, and the stone pickaxe he replaced broke. Bai Li had just changed the draft and had not dug for long when he finally saw coal.

  "Hahaha, there is always a way out, I finally found it!" Bai Li dug down with a pickaxe and found another coal mine. He couldn't help but dance with joy: "Great, it's still a vein! Even if it's super small, it's enough for me to upgrade, and I may be able to upgrade one or two more levels!"

  Ding!

  At this moment, the sound of the stone pickaxe hitting was so pleasant in Bai Li's ears.

  Ah, this is the taste of harvest.

  After digging all the coal mines, Bai Li's experience reached level 4 and a half.

  It's not easy, it's upgraded level by level.

  With the joy of harvest on his face, Bai Li wiped the unnecessary sweat from his forehead.

  "Huha, it's almost done. I've been down there for so long, and I finally got some gains. The range I can move in has expanded a whole circle."

  Bai Li stretched: "It's time to go up, and test my current activity area by the way." There

  was no need to save wood anymore. Anyway, he could continue to cut it after going up, so he simply combined all the remaining wood into stairs.

  Put up stairs at intervals, and finally put up a few earth blocks, and soon you will reach the top.

  Knock off the blocks above your head to prevent animals from releasing unknown objects, Bai Li jumped back to the ground.

  "Huh~ The air on the ground is more comfortable to breathe."

  Bai Li took a deep breath and sighed.

  Although he can survive without oxygen, he still has a sense of smell.

  "By the way, have I been digging for a whole day and a night? I don't feel anything, the time has passed too quickly."

Bai Li squinted his eyes and looked at the sun hanging high in the sky.

  It was dusk when he entered the mine.

  "I'm not sleepy at all. I feel like I can fight for another seven days and seven nights. Well, this is very Steve."

  "If it was before I traveled through time, even if I only had this ability, I would have taken off directly and had twice as much time as others. The King of Rolls? I rolled them so hard that they couldn't take care of themselves."

  "The satiety is almost at the bottom. Put the meat in the furnace and cook it before eating."

  After all, if you don't cook it, the satiety will only return one bar. It's a bit of a waste now that food is scarce.

  "The furnace is roasting meat, I always feel something is wrong, I just burned the charcoal."

  "Oh, I'm down and out now, I didn't have to wait until Thursday to eat at KFC, but now I have to live frugally."

  Chewing the cooked meat, Bai Li muttered with food in his mouth: "When I have food, I'll eat one and throw one away, just for fun!"

  After eating and drinking, seeing that the fire was not burned out, Bai Li thought about it and knocked on another wolf corpse.

  It's better to keep it in there anyway, anyway, the firewood that has been burned in the furnace can't be taken out, and it can't be wasted. Damn, it turns out that I have the attribute of being thrifty and managing the household.

  I don't know who will benefit from it in the future.

  After eating and drinking, Bai Li stood up and measured his range of activities again.

  There were thirteen squares in each of the four directions, and now it is 27X27.

  1X1, 3X3, 9X9, 27X27...

  It actually increased in multiples!

  Bai Li was ecstatic. Exponential growth was no joke. It didn't take long for him to reach the village where Liu Er was.

  "Good news. We have to celebrate this."

  To get rich, chop down trees first!

  He looked at the trees around him with ill intentions: "Let's set a small goal. I'll chop down a group of them first. This time I'm going to chop them thoroughly!"

  Liujia Village.

  "Liu Er, are you really not going to the city with me? You usually cry and shout to go with me at this time." Standing at the door of his house, holding his youngest child, Liu Da weighed the wolf skin and wolf meat on his back and asked in confusion. "

  No," Liu Er shook his head: "There's not much firewood at home. I want to take advantage of this time to go to the forest to pick up some wood and pick some wild vegetables. You can go." Liu

  Da heard this and stared into his eyes. Liu Er smiled very naturally.

  "Okay, but remember, don't go too far, go to the other side of the forest, understand?"

  "Got it, Dad."

  Liu Da looked at the house worriedly, and after a long time, he seemed to come to his senses. He said nothing more, nodded, and walked towards Chengcheng.

  Liu Er kept watching their figures gradually going away until they disappeared.

  "Old Second, has your father left?"

  "Mom, you woke up," a voice came from the house. Liu Er turned around and saw that the middle-aged woman who was still lying on the bed had woken up at some point. He hurried to the bed: "Dad just left not long ago. There is porridge in the pot. Oh, and medicine. Wait a minute, mom, I'll go heat it up for you. There's also meat!"

  Liu Er knew that his mother would ask about his sister next, and he continued while busying himself.

  "Third sister, I went with you. The city is lively, and Dad wanted to take this opportunity to take you for a walk. I thought I would go to the mountains to pick up some firewood or something, so I didn't go with you. Besides, there's nothing interesting in the city. Haha, there are so many interesting things in the forest."
