When Xu Mu came back, he saw Mu Lin curled up by the campfire and taking a nap.
"Hmm~~" Mu Lin was not sleeping too soundly. He opened his eyes vigilantly when he heard footsteps approaching.
Only after seeing Xu Mu did she let down her guard and stretched her body, revealing her perfect body curves.
"I didn't want to sleep at first. After all, the night was only over in twenty minutes. But when it got dark, we were sitting by the campfire, and the atmosphere was set... hehe." Mu Lin smiled awkwardly, as if he felt embarrassed that Xu Mu was out hunting while he was secretly sleeping in.
Xu Mu glanced at the campfire and found that Mu Lin had already arranged the items he had picked up along the way in an orderly manner.
He also made several wooden boxes, as if in preparation for his return from the wild.
We also made a few simple meat drying racks to hang up the leftover meat. After being air-dried, the meat can be stored for a longer time.
She had done everything she could, so it was understandable that she took a nap, so she didn't say much, just said "hmm".
"How is it? What's the situation in the jungle?" Mu Lin sat cross-legged, holding his ankles with both hands, looking at Xu Mu with a smile.
"It's a small gain." Xu Mu said lightly.
Mu Lin saw that he had empty hands and immediately understood.
My backpack has been expanded by 30 slots. It’s almost full from all the garbage I’ve been picking up, and I have to carry the extra space in my hands.
He is a B-level player, his backpack is so tiny, but his hands are as clean as his face.
What does it mean?
Out of stock.
Boys generally care more about their reputation and like to talk more about everything.
For example, you will never find a guy whose penis is shorter than 18 cm on the Internet.
According to this logic.
He said he had made some small gains, so I should lower my expectations of him by half so that they are roughly in line with what he said.
But it doesn’t matter if there is no stock. It’s better to give up early and stay at home to look after the house, so that you can go out and hunt in the wild!
My naughty brother, you have your sister to protect you, so just stay at home and organize your things!
"It's okay. A small harvest is considered a success. Take it out and let me see it. I will help you sort it out."
Mu Lin had just finished speaking.
Bang!
Xu Mu took out twenty pieces of fresh meat from his backpack and threw them directly on the ground.
Mu Lin was stunned.
Before she could come to her senses.
Xu Mu turned out another thick stack of pig skin and threw it on the ground, splashing a circle of dust.
Next came dozens of bundles of branches.
Dozens of rolls of hay.
Dozens of groups of stones.
A pile of land with beautiful patterns.
Various decorations of various shapes and colors, and sparkling gems.
Mu Lin's beautiful eyes widened, and her rosy lips gradually opened in surprise.
He's still digging it out!
He's still digging it out!
"Wait... wait... I'm going to be buried!" As Mu Lin cried for help, Xu Mu finally threw out the last few large scales in his backpack.
The originally empty campfire area was instantly filled with all kinds of props!
Some props were even stacked up high, and Mu Lin was half buried in them, with a big piece of meat on his head, standing there at a loss.
Looking at the gorgeous pile of trophies in front of him, Mu Lin was completely dumbfounded.
Is this what you call... a small gain?
Do you have any misunderstandings about small gains?
These resources are enough for us to get through the entire autumn, okay?
Not only Mu Lin, but even the comments were shocked.
Mu Lin spent the whole night either tidying up things or sleeping. In fact, the content was not very rich, so they naturally found it a bit boring.
But even if you switch the perspective, the other players are all pretty much the same, with almost no one going out for adventure at night.
Alas, those who dared have been eliminated.
The bored comments just started to place bets and guess the probability of Xu Mu dying in the wild.
As a result, Xu Mu has returned as a jungler and is alive and well.
Even the spoils we brought back exceeded our expectations!
"We asked him to go hunting to sustain himself for the next day, but he brought back all the supplies for the entire autumn???"
"It's too spicy! Don't be so strong, mom is scared!"
"Great! This little brother is a jungle king! This cute girl likes jungle kings the most! Brother, please take me with you! I want to join your guild! And be your female...female manager!"
at the same time.
Mu Lin came back to her senses.
We have begun to quickly organize and classify the props materials.
As she sorted things out, the surprise in her heart slowly faded away.
Although these branches, hay piles, and stones are very important in the early stages.
But these resources are not too difficult to obtain.
It’s just that the number of them piled up in front of me just now looked scary.
Now after organizing them into boxes.
It just feels okay.
Although I can't get so much by going out by myself, at least I can bring back most of it.
His main advantage was that he performed it at night.
This is indeed commendable.
Also, those big pieces of meat are very rare.
I guess they are probably using the same trick again, letting the monsters kill each other.
Overall, the harvest was pretty good.
Not that scary.
Until the items are almost sorted.
Mu Lin suddenly saw the dragon scales on the ground.
She was silent.
I took out the guidebook I bought from my backpack.
I compared the scales and looked at the strategy book.
Soon, she found an identical page.
[Note: /Illustration, this thing is called Raging Dragon Scale, it is a drop from the Autumn BOSS Raging Dragon Fly, and can only be obtained by players who defeat the Autumn BOSS. ]
Bang!
Mu Lin slammed the strategy book shut and threw it into his backpack, then looked up at Xu Mu cautiously.
"This, this... this scale, is... is it?"
"Oh, I picked it up." Xu Mu said casually.
Mu Lin: “…”
The scales that only the Dragonfly BOSS would drop... He said he picked them up...
What should I do, sisters? Should I believe it?
Why does this B...level player feel a little weird?
Before Mu Lin could think about it, Xu Mu said, "Make some basic equipment at home, such as a cooking pot, a refrigerator, etc. Use these dragon scales to make a heater and a suit of armor, and use the rest to make boxes."
Dragon scales are fire-resistant and high-temperature resistant, and their texture is very hard.
The defense provided by one piece of dragon scale armor is equivalent to that of two pieces of pig skin armor.
In addition to having a larger capacity than a wooden box, the dragon scale treasure chest also has a special password buckle. Players who don't know the password will not be able to steal the contents even if they pass by and see the box.
"Oh, okay." Mu Lin nodded.
The method of making props in Don't Starve is directly given in the built-in system.
Anyone can make it.
The prerequisite is that there must be corresponding materials.
The most troublesome thing is to obtain materials. Mu Lin's guide does not contain much information, most of which are about how to obtain basic materials and a small amount of rare materials.
"However, don't you need to make some axes, pickaxes and the like first? I see there are still a lot of stones left. You will need a lot of tools to cut wood or chisel stones later, right?" Mu Lin kindly reminded.
The durability of stone axes and pickaxes decreases very quickly. Cutting down a tree or chiseling a stone will wear out 10%.
Xu Mu shook his head.
"No, stone tools are too low-grade. Use gold ones."
As he spoke, he bent down and picked up a few decorations that Mu Lin had not yet classified.
Disappeared directly from Mu Lin's sight.
"Gold...gold?"
"Gold nuggets are a scarce commodity. How can we get them in the early stages?" She blinked and muttered softly.
A few minutes later.
Bang.
Xu Mu threw out dozens of gold nuggets from his backpack: "Take them and use them. Call me if you don't have enough."
The nonchalant tone even made Mu Lin suspect that gold was just an ordinary resource that could be picked up anywhere on the ground...
The only way to obtain gold mentioned in the guide.
That is to find the ore area. If you are lucky, you can encounter very few rocks in the ore area that look like they have flowing golden threads.
If you chisel this kind of stone open, you will basically find one or two pieces of gold.
But players have to face another problem.
There is a creature in the mining area that is more terrifying than the pigman, called the tallbird.
It moves fast and has high attack damage. In the early stages without armor, a single peck from it will be unbearable for the player.
In other words, if you want to mine in the mineral area, you must first overcome the tallbird level.
To cross the tallbird you need to have a decent weapon.
The chain of events is so complex that it is difficult for players to obtain gold resources in the early stages.
But for Xu Mu, gold is not difficult to get.
There is another benefit for him to decide to be the head of this place.
Next to it is a pig village.
There is a BOSS-level character in it—the Pig King.
Of course, this pig king is different from other BOSSes. Under normal circumstances, it is a friendly neutral creature.
If you give it some weird and strange things to make it happy, it will start to spend money lavishly and throw out a pile of golden gold to reward players.
For example, all the decorations and toys that the dragonfly just exploded can be exchanged with it.
The amount of gold given at a time ranges from seven to eight pieces to more than ten pieces.
It can be said that there is no need to worry about having no gold to use.
Of course, in the early stages of survival, normal players simply cannot get decorations and toys. They are basically drops given after defeating the BOSS.
"You continue making it. I'll go collect some materials for the winter." Xu Mu brushed the dust off his hands and said hello.
"Oh, okay. Be careful on the road!" Mu Lin was very busy. Xu Mu brought back too many things this time. It was quick to sort them out, but it would take some time to make them one by one.
After Xu Mu had been away for a long time.
She suddenly raised her head, a look of surprise on her delicate face.
What did he just say?
winter?
Mu Lin tilted his head again and glanced at the time progress bar in the upper right corner of his vision.
[Survival Day 2, Autumn, Morning, 22 days left until Winter]
This is only the second day of the game.
Have you started preparing materials for the winter?
Mulin was numb.
The commentators watching the game were also annoyed.
"This guy has gradually started to behave like a degenerate..."
"I just came back from next door. The guild leader next door is still digging wild vegetables... I saw a kid on the screen saying he was getting ready for winter..."
"Xiao Dai? Tong Tian Dai!"
"Why does he seem to be playing this survival dungeon so easily..."
"At first I thought Sister Mu Lin was a burden, but now it seems that no matter how I look at it, I think Sister Mu Lin is more like a burden."
“Pertinent.”
"As a die-hard fan of Mulin-chan, I totally agree with what you said..."
"Three minutes! I want all the information about this little brother's guild! I will be the first to apply to join after the dungeon is over!"
…
Xu Mu was walking on the road preparing winter materials.
If you were to ask where the most difficult part of Don't Starve is.
The question is undoubtedly how to get through the long winter.
By then, the whole world will be covered with heavy snow and the temperature will drop sharply.
Without warm keeping measures, players will not even survive the first night of winter and will be frozen to death.
Of course, if there are only warming measures, it is far from enough.
food!
Food, which is the core of the entire dungeon, will face an even greater shortage in winter.
First, the berries, wild radishes, petals, seeds, etc. that can be picked everywhere on the roadside will disappear in winter.
The player simply loses the easiest source of food.
Secondly, the number of monsters in winter will decrease significantly, as most of them retreat into hibernation, with only a few rare species appearing in winter, such as ice hyenas, penguins, spiders, and winter bosses.
Pigs can occasionally be encountered, but their numbers decrease during the winter.
However, players' demand for food is no less than in other seasons .
Therefore, internal circulation caused by survival needs is inevitable.
Especially when all players are facing food shortages, the competition will become increasingly fierce.
At that time, whoever can grab more food can live one more day, and the other person will be eliminated.
To put it bluntly, the famine winter is a lifeless season.
The severe food shortage and extremely cold environment caused countless guild leaders to fall one after another on the threshold of the second-tier guilds.
Therefore, the earlier in autumn, the better to stock up on various materials and food to survive the winter.
The more calmly you can deal with the cold winter.
It’s never too late to stock up on this stuff.
As long as you can make sure you have enough food on hand to last through the fall, you have almost all the tools you need.
Then there will be absolutely no problem if you start preparing winter resources from the first day of your survival.
Of course, most of the current players are not aware of this.
After all, winter is still a long way off, and for the countless players who are still struggling to find enough food to eat, it is not something they should consider at all.
Some players even pass by areas where they can obtain winter materials while hunting in the wild without giving them a second glance.
Xu Mu would not tell Mu Lin about this either.
Learning to plan in a survival dungeon is also part of the strategy, and a very important part at that.
He could give all the materials to Mu Lin for production, it didn't matter.
Anyway, anyone who gets the materials can make it.
But Xu Mu would not let anyone know how to obtain these materials.
These are the core wealth codes of the strategy.
"We already have the heating stove and dragon scale armor, and I've asked Mu Lin to make the heating stone."
"What we still lack is a bull horn hat, a beehive and bees, butterflies, and deer horns for summoning the winter boss."
"It shouldn't be a problem to collect them all in a few days."
"Among them, the horn hat can not only keep you warm and enhance your defense, but it can also slowly restore your sanity."
"Killing the dragonflies and pigmen yesterday consumed a lot of sanity points, so you can make them first."
"Then let's start by finding the cattle."
After counting the necessary materials in his mind, Xu Mu began to explore the map.
Sanity is just as important as hunger and health in Don't Starve.
When the sanity value drops below 50 points, the player's mental state will become more terrible.
My vision would blur easily and I would often feel dizzy. I had to stop and rest after walking a few steps, which seriously delayed my collection of resources.
If the score is lower than 30 points, even ghost-like supernatural creatures may appear, which can cause substantial harm to the players!
The importance of maintaining sanity cannot be underestimated!
However, this is only the second day of survival, and most of the players have not yet picked up knives, guns, sticks or clubs to hunt monsters.
Sanity value decreases slowly, far less than the rapid decline of hunger value. (Sanity value will start to decrease when facing monsters, and will decrease faster when facing bosses, and will not automatically recover)
Therefore, almost no one mentioned sanity value in the chat channel.
But Xu Mu still vividly remembers his experience as a beginner player of Don't Starve.
Only when you are really attacked by monsters will you start looking for materials to restore your sanity.
That's much harder than finding food.
But this time, Xu Mu's luck was not so good.
It took almost a whole day to explore the huge map, and the distance from home was getting farther and farther.
Until the evening was approaching.
He finally heard the faint sound of a cow mooing beside his ear.
"Moo~~"
He glanced sideways, and immediately showed a bit of joy.
On a light yellow grassland, he saw several yaks.
But soon, he found two other players next to the yak!
Xu Mu paused for a moment and did not approach rashly.
In the Don't Starve dungeon, players cannot attack each other.
Not being able to die means that you can fight for resources even more desperately.
If I go forward at this time, it will probably make them nervous.
And it’s hard to say. They were just sent to explore the way, and there might be a small group of more players united behind them. This is not impossible.
Just as he walked along, Xu Mu had already seen many calls for forming a team and sticking together in the built-in channel.
If they really want to snatch it away, they are outnumbered and Xu Mu may not be able to win.
At a place not too far away, Xu Mu leaned against a rock that could hide his body.
The conversation between the two players also flowed into his ears.
"No, how can I shave this hair? It attacks me when I get close. Damn, it kicked me and took away a quarter of my blood. It's so scary."
"Think of another solution."
"What else can we do? I think we should just start killing each other. We both have spears. If we lure one over and fight together, we should have a chance."
"No, what if there's no cow hair after death? There are only a few cows! The pale boss just shouted that he wanted to buy cow hair. One piece of cow hair is 50 Red Moon coins, a total of 5,000 yuan! It's a good time to make money!"
"That's really troublesome. Why don't you go back and tell the captain and see if he has any good ideas?"
"Well, this is the only way. But if I tell him, the money will have to be divided among three of us."
"It would be better if we divided it among three people."
"That's right, let's go. Go quickly and come back quickly, otherwise we will be spotted by others."
After the two of them finished their discussion, they walked farther and farther away with their backs to Xu Mu, and soon disappeared from the end of their sight.
It was not difficult for Xu Mu to find out from their conversation.
This is a temporary team of three people.
However, these two guys wanted to make some extra money, so they sneaked out without telling the captain.
Now that he saw that there was no way to remove the fur, he could only go back to the captain in shame.
They had no strategy, but Xu Mu knew it well.
Even if you kill a yak, it will drop its hair and four large pieces of meat.
Of course, it would be better if we didn't kill him.
Shaving will yield 3 to 4 pieces of cow hair, which is not only a key material for making ox-horn hats, but also a powerful fuel for campfires.
The heat and brightness of a pile of burning cow hair is equivalent to that of five pieces of wood, which is quite cost-effective.
Moreover, yak hair is a renewable resource and is inexhaustible.
Wait until those two people are gone completely.
Xu Mu rushed out from behind the rock.
He pulled out the ham stick and ran straight towards the yak.
Without saying a word, he beat one to death with a few sticks!
Xu Mu's intention was not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs.
But.
"It exploded!" Xu Mu picked up the bull horn that fell on the ground and blew the horn directly.
Others were not sure, but Xu Mu, who had the strategy in hand, remembered it clearly.
In addition to making horn hats, horns have another use!
You can command the cattle to follow the player!
Whether it is slaughtering the cow for meat, or running so far to cut the cow's hair.
The layout is too small.
Lead the cattle directly back home, all the meat and fur will be mine!
At least we won’t have to worry about the lack of meat throughout the winter.
…
As night falls.
The three players ran back to the yak's birth point, panting heavily.
Then.
A few people looked at the empty grassland in front of them and a few conspicuous piles of cow dung and fell into deep thought.
"No, where's my cow?"
"I was still here just now, where is such a large group of cows???"
