In the afternoon, the sun was warming up, and the entire volcanic crater was filled with a leisurely atmosphere. On the shore of a small natural lake, the Emperor Crocodile, which was more than five meters long, was lying on its back with its mouth half open and its eyes slightly squinted, basking in the sun.
From time to time, it would use its short claws to scratch its belly, but unfortunately it couldn't reach it, so it could only rub it naively on the rocks.
Splashes suddenly appeared on the calm lake surface, and a head emerged from the water. He exhaled the turbid air in his lungs and gasped greedily. Then, another small head also popped out.
Wiping away the water stains on his face, Li Xiao looked at the otter beside him. He saw that the otter's smooth and waterproof fur was not stained with any water. It nimbly dived into the water next to Li Xiao and came out again, and finally held the otter in his arms.
A palm-long fish surfaced.
Two furry little paws held the lively fish and screamed happily. The otter diligently raised the fish in his hand above his head and handed it to Li Xiao.
Li Xiao touched the otter's head and gestured with his hand:
"I want a big fish, at least this long. This one is too small and can't fit between my teeth. I want to catch a big fish."
The otter seemed to understand what he said. He threw away the poor fish in his hand, thought for a moment, and then dived into the water again.
Li Xiao swam ashore, shook out his soaked shorts, scratched the belly of Emperor Crocodile, and walked towards the building.
It was already a month after moving to the volcanic crater. If you look closely, you can see that the entire volcanic crater is already thriving. On one side of the planting area, the seeds planted have grown into knee-high plants;
All the sheds nearby have been completed, and each domestic animal has its own different area, which is well organized; looking at the wide land on the higher ground, a gorgeous and beautiful castle has been built.
It is said to be a "castle", but from the outside, this building looks more like a very modern villa.
The three-story villa has a greenhouse glass wall sandwiched between stone walls on the front as a whole. The greenhouse walls connected together form a huge floor-to-ceiling window, which is beautiful and also allows the sunlight from outside to shine into the house.
There are two doors on the first floor of the villa, both of which are made of stone dinosaur doors. As soon as you enter the door, you will see a flat and spacious work area. The ground is paved with stone foundations, which is flat and solid.
The workbench and machine tools are placed against the wall, and next to it is a row of neatly arranged large lockers for storing basic materials; on the other side, there are several stone furnaces that are burning with scorching fire.
Iron ore is smelted in the ground.
In the large compartment on the far left, there are also several large lockers. This is the equipment warehouse. There are also dummies placed under the wall on the other side for training and testing weapons.
The second floor is the living area. Go up the spiral staircase and you will see a short corridor. The living room is on the left, the dining room is on the right, and the bedroom is at the end of the corridor. After unlocking the gorgeous furniture, the entire living area was decorated by Zhou Yi.
The layout is extremely warm.
Like Li Xiao's previous habit of building, the bedroom has a large terrace facing the volcanic lake below.
Under the light-transmitting glass wall of the greenhouse, the entire bedroom is spacious and bright. The breeze blows in from the terrace, and the curtains, which are slightly shabby compared to the gorgeous furniture, flutter in the wind.
Um, this curtain is a bit bad, I will definitely replace it after unlocking good furniture decoration.
Climbing to the third floor, a long room leads directly to the roof. The area is much smaller than the first and second floors. There are rows of tables and exhibition stands in the room. Li Xiao plans to turn this place into an exhibition room.
There are eight obsidian exhibition stands against the wall, most of which are empty. Only the first two stands have two glowing artifacts floating on them - the artifact "Hunter" in the southern cave, and the artifact "Hunter" in the cave under the volcano.
wisdom".
The rewards obtained after the sacrifice of these two artifacts are early-stage equipment, which is of little use to Li Xiao now. Apart from summoning bosses, they only serve as decorations.
Of course, as the level continues to increase, more and more artifacts will join the ranks of "decorations".
As for the trophy racks hanging on the walls, they are reserved for the trophies of elite creatures. Currently, there is only one elite raptor skull sitting alone on it.
Li Xiao has killed a lot of elite-level creatures, but the trophies are either equipped with equipment or not picked up. There is no telling when these empty shelves will be full.
At present, his development has reached a bottleneck period, but he can specifically look for the elite creatures on the island to hunt, which can gain experience points much faster than killing ordinary creatures.
Returning to the topic, after exiting the exhibition room on the third floor, there is a spacious balcony. Stone railings surround the roof, leaving only space on the side near the rock wall.
Li Xiao's plan is to build several treehouse platforms on the rock wall and connect the roofs to the cliff platform to serve as habitats for flying pets.
The wooden platform was not durable, so Li Xiao planned to use a metal treehouse platform. Unfortunately, the amount of metal required to make the metal platform was too much. Li Xiao's metal reserves had bottomed out, so the plan could only be shelved for the time being.
It has to be said that construction is also a good way to upgrade. After the construction of this large villa was completed, the experience gained increased Li Xiao's level a lot:
Level 59, [Laser Sight Attachment] [Metal Tree House Platform] [Advanced Grenade]
Level 60, [Dragon King Whale Saddle] [Fridge]
…
Among the blueprints unlocked this time, except for the Megalosaurus Saddle, which is of average use, the others are extremely useful.
[Name: Motorcycle Raft]
[Production requirements: Metal ingot x300, polymer x80, circuit original x50, cement x50, wood x10, animal skin x5]
[Note: Imagine putting an engine on your raft? Yes, it does!]
[Motorcycle raft] is much better than a wooden raft. It is powered by an engine and fueled by gasoline. It is basically the same as a speedboat. Moreover, the platform style can be used as a mobile base on the water as long as it is modified.
This undoubtedly provides the most basic support for Li Xiao’s future development of the ocean.
…
[Name: Standard rifle (original)]
[Damage: Moderate]
[Durability: medium]
[Production requirements: Metal ingot x15, polymer x10, cement x5]
[Note: Chug, chug, chug! You can pour all the bullets in the magazine on the enemy in just a few seconds! Of course, you must be able to press the gun first! 】
The standard rifle is another advanced version of the player's weapon. Its single shot power is not as high as that of the long-barreled rifle, but its advantages are fast firing rate, high ammunition capacity, and a large amount of damage in a short period of time, making it more suitable for dealing with large creatures.
Combined with the previously unlocked pump-action shotgun and standard pistol, the player's combat effectiveness has been greatly improved again.
As for the laser sight attachment, it is an accessory that improves blind shooting of firearms, and its effect is not small.
Among the several weapon blueprints, the [Advanced Grenade] has undergone earth-shaking changes in power compared to the previous simple grenades. It is an absolute killer when dealing with creatures that rely on numerical superiority, such as giant spider scorpions or giant titan ants.
