Chapter 8: Isn’t This A Steel Trap?

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The moment Gabriel got the blueprint, he used it without any hesitation.

The blueprint disappeared from his backpack, and a synthetic item appeared in the synthetic interface. It was a Interception Trap.

“Looks like I have to get some iron ore and copper ore.” Gabriel touched his nose and opened the trade interface. He edited his previous trade and added two new items.

[Pork]

[Quantity: 15]

[Requirement: Seed of any quality]

[Option 1: Pet of any quality]

[Option 2: 40 pieces of wood]

[Option 3: 6 copper ore]

[Option 4: 6 iron ore]

After setting up all the items, Gabriel pressed the confirmation button.

The trade message appeared in the world channel again, causing a lot of discussion.

[Thank you! I’ll go get some ores for you!]

[Finally! More pork!]

[Damn it, I have to act quickly! There’s not much pork left!]

“Sorry everyone, I’ve got one pork for myself now! Hahaha!]

[Brother, can you shut up?]

The moment Gabriel pressed the confirmation button, the bracelet began to flicker continuously, which was a reminder of the success of the trade.

Fortunately, Gabriel had turned off the sound of the bracelet in advance. Otherwise, he would not be able to stand the noises coming from his bracelet.

He opened the trade interface and saw that five pieces of pork had already been traded. The people traded his pork with iron ore and copper ore, but still, no one had offered any seed in exchange.

He felt that the messages in the world channel started to slow down. Suddenly, he felt that the whole world was working for him.

“It seems that they won’t trade with seeds!”

Gabriel sighed.

According to his original plan, he thought he could get some seeds from the trade. However, he did not see anybody offered seeds to him.

It appeared that these people were not stupid. They knew that seeds were the basic conditions for development. If it was not for the people who were about to starve to death, they would basically not have taken out the seeds to trade.

If Gabriel wanted to obtain more seeds, he could really depend on luck.

“I have to find a time to go to the forest.” Gabriel rubbed his chin and began to think.

It was true that there were monsters in the forest, but he had Doggie that was good at fighting. Ordinary level monsters could not hurt him and Doggie at all.

He could even let the Doggie kill the monster. He would then break it into pieces and sell it, making a huge profit out of it.

The benefits of doing so were also very obvious. Gabriel could obtain a large amount of resources in a very short period of time to develop his farm.

The only drawback was that it would not last long.

When most people had the ability to hunt monsters in the future, the price of monster meat would definitely decrease.

Therefore, Gabriel decided to take advantage of this Since everybody still did not have the ability to hunt monster, he would continuously sell monster meat to accumulate some wealth and fame for himself.

Other than that, the main reason why he wanted to explore the forest was that there might be treasure boxes in the forest!

According to Wang Tian, the probability of treasure boxes appearing in the forest was very high, and they were all very rare treasures.

“Let’s set up some traps around the farm.” Thinking of that, Gabriel felt a little headache. The wooden fences were merely a decoration. Even a monster with a slightly huge body could easily destroy the fences.

Before going to the forest, Gabriel had to prepare all the defense measures of the farm.

Gabriel thought about it and opened the synthesis interface.

He clicked on the Interception Trap’s icon and increased the number of traps that could be synthesized to the maximum.

As he clicked on the button to confirm the synthesis, the copper and iron ores disappeared. After that, five traps appeared in his backpack.

These five Interception Traps cost him almost all of his iron and copper ores.

“Isn’t this a steel trap?” Gabriel looked at the Interception Trap in his backpack with a helpless expression.

It was exactly the same as the steel trap on TV.

In order to verify whether he was right or wrong, he took out an Interception Trap and put it on the ground.

Then, he picked up a thick and long tree branch from the ground and put it on.

Click!

The moment the tree branch touched the trap, it was pierced through by the iron spikes, leaving behind rows of holes.

The trap slowly turned into nothingness and disappeared.

“This is way stronger than normal steel trap.” Gabriel’s body trembled. If he were to step on the trap, he would have died in an instant.

The only thing that made him feel regretful was that the trap was a one-time use. It would disappear automatically after one use.

Moreover, the materials needed to synthesize it were rare. Initially, Gabriel planned to surround the entire farm with the trap.

“It seems that I’m still too poor.”

Gabriel could be said to be at the top of the pyramid in this world, but he still couldn’t afford such a high price.

After thinking for a moment, he decided to place the remaining four traps at the weakest part of the wooden fence.

He guessed that the monsters would choose a relatively weak spot to attack according to the four positions.

After burying the Interception Trap with sand, Gabriel warned Doggie not to touch the traps in that four spots.

Although Doggie was not afraid of physical attack, if Doggie did not know about the traps, it might step on it and die in an instant!

After setting up the traps, the defense level of Gabriel’s farm had increased a little.

At least when the monsters attacked, he could lure it to the trap and kill it!

Gabriel looked at the sky and called Doggie over to eat.

They had pork for dinner. A piece of pork could last for at least two days.

“I should pick some fruits.” Gabriel picked up a piece of pork and chewed it with satisfaction.

After his water bamboo ripened, he could obtain some fragrant rice. With that, he could have rice and pork for dinner

He was fine with eating meat for a short period of time. However, if he ate pork every meal, he would definitely get sick of it, especially without seasoning.

People who did not consume salt for a long time were also extremely prone to some diseases.

Gabriel had taken these things into consideration.

He would need to eat meat and vegetables to stay healthy.

He could not rush to obtain salt at the moment. Unless there was a large amount of seawater, there was no way to make salt on its own.

If Gabriel had a salt field, he could also make a large sum of money.

Salt was an essential thing in everyone’s life. Everything needed salt, especially cooking.

Moreover, salt could last a lot longer than pork. Hence, there would not be any reduction in salt price.

After Gabriel finished eating his meal, he opened the synthesis interface and synthesized a small iron sword. He could synthesize basic iron items at the moment. When he obtained the iron ore, these items were automatically unlocked.

After getting everything ready, Gabriel entered the forest with Doggie.
