Chapter 12: Resource Count, Future Plans

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

It was time to count the spoils of war.

Liao Fan got up from his bed.

He looked at the ground. 

The villagers had neatly organized the supplies.

For now, the most scarce resources were stones and coals.

These two resources needed to be used in large quantities, but they were difficult to obtain.

First of all, a lot of labor was needed to mine stones.

The outside world was filled with dangers and Liao Fan did not have the time.

It was more efficient to trade on the world channel.

Secondly, there were the coals.

Unless there was a mine, it was basically impossible to harvest them in large quantities.

‘Everything should be sufficient for now.

‘I can make wooden fences using the clay blocks.

‘There are forty stacks of clay blocks and each stack will produce ten fences. 

‘That means I will have a total of four hundred fences.

‘I’ll have about one hundred and thirty-three fences per month.’

However, the wooden fences have a very small effective range. Even with one hundred and thirty-three fences, it would cover only a small area.

Liao Fan checked on his other supplies.

[ Cypress berries *30 ]

Cypress berries can be eaten raw or used for synthesis. 

[ Wood *100 ]

[ Wind Grass *20 ]

[ Detoxifying Grass *20 ]

[ Poplar Branches *20 ]

[ Dwarf Shrub Leaves *20 ]

Dwarf shrub leaves can be used to make paper!

Liao Fan could then turn it into a map!

It was a crucial item.

With it, he might even be able to completely unlock the area!

Walking about a mile covered 5% of the area.

Liao Fan calculated this by himself.

It was rather accurate.

After including other details, Liao Fan concluded that he had indeed covered quite some distance.

He also calculated the scope of the thatched cottage. 

…

In the end, he managed to conclude how many torches were needed to explore the entire area.

The exploration time would be about forty-three hours.

That was about two days.

Of course, it was impossible for Liao Fan to explore continuously for forty-three hours.

He also needed to add the time that would take to collect materials!

The time exploring the area was about one-fifth of the time to collect materials.

Adding up, it would take him at least two hundred and fifteen hours to unlock the entire area.

Liao Fan divided the two hundred and fifteen hours into five weeks. 

Roughly speaking, that was more than a month.

If he spent an average of six hours exploring the area every day, he would need to consume thirty enhanced torches every day!

‘How troublesome.’ 

Liao Fan was in a daze.

‘Why are so many resources needed? It’s ridiculous.’

Furthermore, his torches were enhanced. If it was a regular torch, then the amount needed would be quadrupled. 

‘That’s one hundred and twenty torches!

‘How much materials would be required?’

These thoughts made Liao Fan feel dizzy.

‘How am I supposed to get so many resources?’

He shook his head and looked at the items that he had obtained from the wooden treasure chest.

[ Sturdy Rope *1 ]

[ Iron Ingot *3 ]

[ Raw Egg *5 ]

[ White Beast Egg *1 ]

As he stared at the items, the requirements to enhance them appeared again.

[ Raw Egg: Replenishes a little satiety and strength ]

[ White Beast Egg: Full recovery ]

[ Materials needed for enhancement: Water, bread, pasta, meat, vegetables, et cetera. ]

[ 1. Egg Custard: It’s delicious! ] 

[ 2. White Beast Egg Health Soup: Why would you make this soup? Hatch the white beast egg instead. ]

…

[ Basic Materials: Sturdy rope ]

[ Basic Materials: Iron Ingot *3 ]

[ Do you want to enhance? ]

[ Basic Enhancement: Strength +1 ]

[ Materials required: Wood, sturdy rope, iron ingot, et cetera. ]

[ 1. Fishing Rod: Can be used for fishing. Don’t forget to bring along some bait. ]

[ 2. Iron Axe: Forged from iron ingots. A sturdy and durable axe. Be careful when using it! ]

[ 3. Simple Slingshot: Why would you make a slingshot? You should focus on making a bow and arrows first! ]

… 

There were hints provided by the system.

Liao Fan had a clear idea of what he wanted to make.

The iron axe was prioritized.

After all, the stone axes that were used by the villagers to mine were completely destroyed.

Furthermore, since stones were scarce, it would be difficult to make more of them.

Next, Liao Fan wanted to craft the fishing rod.

For the time being, he would not be making a bow.

It would be a very powerful weapon, but Liao Fan did not have the materials to craft a bunch of arrows.

Naturally, without arrows, the bow would be useless.

Besides, he had found a stream.

With the fishing rod, Liao Fan would not lack food.

‘Fish is delicious.’

Liao Fan then turned his attention to the white beast egg.

According to the system, the white beast egg could be used to make soup.

It would even fully restore a person’s health!

‘Wouldn’t that be nice?’

However, Liao Fan gave it another thought. 

‘Won’t this just be equivalent to two bowls of oatmeal?’

For now, the white beats egg health soup was not of much use to him. 

Perhaps hatching it was the way to go.

Liao Fan did not know what creature would emerge from the egg.

It could be dangerous.

‘Should I just eat it?’

He quickly shook his head and dismissed the idea.

‘Forget it.

‘Right now, I have enough food.’

Liao Fan did not plan to hatch the egg either.

It was simply too risky.

Besides, it was difficult enough to feed himself and the two villagers.

Adding another mouth would not be necessary.

Maybe in the future when he had an abundance of food, then he would hatch the egg.

If the creature that hatched from the egg threatened his life, he would eat it in one bite!

…

[ White Beast Egg: A magical egg that can be stored in your inventory. If you hatch it, you’ll gain a loyal white beast. The strength of the beast varies! ]
