As for the word "original" in the suffix, it refers to the sophistication of the equipment produced by this drawing.
In order from first to best, they are (original) white, (refined) green, (epic) blue, (legendary) orange. This classification is the same as the classification of many game equipment levels.
[Tame Creatures] is also easy to understand. As mentioned before, one of the features of the Ark game is that you can tame creatures. This column is where you manage tamed creatures.
Li Xiao turned his eyes to the last column, [Character Attributes].
The [Character Attributes] column is slightly different from the others. On the left is a miniature 3D model of a character. It looks exactly like myself. The model is almost naked at the moment, with only a pair of simple linen shorts blocking the shameful part.
Li Xiao looked down at his body - he was naked except for a pair of shorts...
Well, it seems that this model reflects my current appearance.
On the right is more detailed data:
[Player name: Li Xiao]
[Level: 1 (Experience value: 0/20)]
[Life status: normal]
[Melee damage: extremely low]
[Damage Resistance: None]
[Low temperature resistance: None]
[High temperature resistance: None]
[Abnormal resistance: none]
[Dizziness/Anesthesia: None]
[Hungry/Thirsty: Are you hungry? Thirsty? Don’t you know? 】
[Stamina value: Don’t you know whether you are tired or not? 】
…
"Oh, I'll go!" Li Xiao cursed when he saw the last two items. He suddenly realized that this game system was a little different and full of malice!
After comparing it with the games in my memory, I found that the difference is quite big. In computer games, the durability, damage, resistance, etc. are all detailed values, but now they are general low, medium and high, and hunger stamina is even more determined by
I feel that this "realistic game" is much more "real" than computer games.
At the bottom of the character column, there is a message written in red fonts:
[Number of resurrections: Full (please cherish every rebirth! Once you cannot be resurrected, everything will turn into nothingness!)]
Li Xiao's face showed solemnity, and at the same time many questions flooded into his mind——
Are you already dead in the real world? How did you come to this game world?
The unified process after everyone's death? The scientific research of aliens on earth people? Or the prank of some god-like will?
Are you in a game or in a real world similar to a game?
Is this time traveling through body or soul? Is this body my original one or a new one from the Arkworld?
…
Without any clues, Li Xiao became more and more confused as he thought about it, and finally gave up thinking.
"None of this matters anymore!" Li Xiao is a strong person, and he gradually accepted the current situation.
"I am still alive and kicking, that's enough!"
Moreover, the content of the game "Ark: Survival Journey" is not unlimited. According to the plot in the game, after defeating the final boss, the player will follow the plot and leave the Ark world, achieving a perfect ending.
I just don’t know if this “live version” of Ark World has the same setting as the game Ark?
Defeat the boss, complete the plot, leave the Ark, and return to reality?!
Everything is unknown and everything is a mystery, but fortunately Li Xiao has experience in gaming. If he follows the flow of the game, he will definitely uncover these mysteries!
Although it is not 100% sure, it is a glimmer of hope, and for human beings, hope is the best medicine!
Looking at this strange and familiar world, Li Xiao clenched his fists, put aside all negative emotions such as confusion about the new world and reluctance to let go of his previous life, and officially made up his mind!
"Since this is a game world, then I will clear you!"
Ark World is extremely dangerous. There are too many carnivorous dinosaurs and beasts that will cause harm to you. Especially now that you don’t have any equipment, you can only run away when encountering any danger! There is also a day and night cycle in Ark World, and the night is even more abnormal.
Danger!
Recalling the experience of playing Ark in his mind, Li Xiao formulated the current plan.
Find a safe place and build a shelter!
Make weapons and equipment to ensure that you can survive the novice stage safely!
Another thing is - explore this island and figure out whether this is a "single-player game" or a "multiplayer game"! Are there other people or other intelligent creatures like you on this island?
You must know that the Ark game can be played by a single player or by multiple people online. After all, humans are social animals. Once there are other people helping each other, they are much better than one person, both physically and psychologically.
Based on the experience of the game, Li Xiao determined his position on Ark Island:
Located on the east-south coast of the island, the location here is good. It is a safer area on Ark Island. There are fewer carnivores, mostly harmless herbivores if you don't mess with them.
Li Xiao, who is familiar with the Ark game, is also familiar with the terrain of Ark Island, and the entire island is also in Li Xiao's mind.
Let’s turn our perspective to the sky and see the island from a bird’s eye view:
The entire island is a slightly irregular square. The terrain is lower in the south and higher towards the north.
The southernmost part is an archipelago divided by rivers, which is the least dangerous, with mostly harmless herbivores roaming here; the northern part of the archipelago is low hills, mostly jungle-like landforms, with some medium-sized carnivores.
It's already a bit dangerous to hang out here; further north, rivers and swamps occupy the area, and creatures such as giant pythons and crocodiles live here. If you enter by mistake, you will almost die! At the far north, there are five towering peaks.
These peaks occupy half of Ark Island, covering the entire north.
Surrounding the northwestmost peak is the ice field area on Ark Island. It is covered with ice and snow all year round, the temperature is extremely low, and all kinds of large animals roam freely. Even the terrifying Tyrannosaurus rex can be seen everywhere!
Overall, the danger level of the entire island increases from south to north.
There are also several peculiar places on the island——
In the center of the island is a small island surrounded by rivers. It is covered with towering giant trees. These trees are usually tens of meters high and have a diameter that can be surrounded by more than a dozen people holding hands! This is also where the island's biological diversity is found.
It is the most diverse place, where almost all creatures have a habitat, but it is also quite dangerous.
There is also an island in the far southeast. It does not have any carnivores and has a pleasant climate. Players call it the "Southeast Paradise". Unfortunately, the resources are too scarce.
There is a small island in the far northeast, but it is very different from the "Southeast Paradise" and is called "Death Island"! This place is like the northwest ice sheet, full of extremely dangerous creatures!
Across the shore from the "Death Island" is a volcanic lake. The center of the natural crater is flat terrain, and there is also a small lake. The volcano blocks the surrounding dangers, and the interior is quite safe, and there
It is close to the mountains and rich in minerals, making it a good place to settle.
The island has rich terrain, and there are many hidden chambers and caves filled with poisonous insects, snakes and beasts, but there are also many rare materials and minerals that are difficult to see on the ground.
Even though this is an island, its area is not small; even though this island is not small, in the end, my footprints will be all over the entire island.
But that will all happen when my level is higher in the future. Now I should still think about making a stone pickaxe and axe.
"If you want to be rich, plant trees first!" This is what many sandbox games must do at the beginning, and the same is true for the Ark game.
Li Xiao struck Zhangtong beside him and punched him hard!
"Oh!"
The tree was unscathed, but Li Xiao's fist was in great pain. If he looked closely, the skin on his hand was broken!
"Game experience kills people!"
Every time he saw people pulling up trees with bare hands in the game, Li Xiao couldn't help but wonder if their hands hurt. Now he knew, and he experienced it himself.
After failing to pull up the tree with his bare hands, Li Xiao had to think of other ways to collect dismantled materials.
Seeing a fallen dead tree not far away, Li Xiao went up and picked up a piece of fallen wood.
"How should I put this thing into the inventory?"
With a thought, the wood in his hand suddenly disappeared. When he opened the inventory, one of the item grids was already occupied.
【Wood x1】
[Note: Wood taken from trees]
The thought moved again, and the wood that had just disappeared returned to his hand.
"High-end!" Li Xiao was amazed by this advanced technological sense like a different-dimensional space bag.
When such a large piece of wood is put into the inventory, the body does not feel any weight. It seems that the weight of the items in the inventory has no effect.
That's right, the grids are a bit small, only twenty in total.
This is very different from the Ark game. In the game, the backpack is unlimited, and the capacity is limited only by weight. You can carry more if you are light, and less if you are heavy.
He picked up another piece of wood and looked at the inventory again. The first box had changed to:
[Wood x2]
"Well, it can be superimposed, but I don't know what the upper limit is?"
Tear the bark off the palm tree.
【Thatch x3】
Tear another big piece.
【Thatch x7】
Pick up rocks from the ground.
【Stone x1】
Pick up the sharp stone as well.
[Flint x1]
…
After a while, the materials for the stone ax and pickaxe were enough. Li Xiao opened the production bar and clicked on the brightened icon...
"Ding!" There was a soft sound, and the production bar turned into a 3D image, and a pair of white hands appeared in the middle of the image - a pair of pure white hands with no arms and no detailed texture on the hands!
I saw the fingers of this hand crossed, and after stretching humanely, it started its work:
He just took out the materials from the inventory and piled them aside. He first picked up a piece of wood and started whittling it with a knife he didn't know where it came from. It looked like he was whittling the wooden handle of a stone pickaxe.
"Advanced! This is too advanced!" Li Xiao exclaimed.
Li Xiao didn't need to do anything at all, these white hands completed everything for him in making the stone pickaxe.
However, what surprised him was that the production speed was really slow——
He grabbed the knife and whittled the wood, once, again, and again... The wood chips fell in accordance with the rhythm, but depending on the speed, it would take a while to cut the wood into a shape.
As if sensing Li Xiao's eagerness, a row of countdowns appeared above the hands:
It takes 29 minutes and 45 seconds to complete!
29 minutes and 44 seconds…
29 minutes and 43 seconds…
"What a scam! How hard is it to make a stone pickaxe!" Li Xiao spat out a mouthful of old blood. No one has ever seen that it takes half an hour to make a novice stone pickaxe!
The hands in the light screen heard Li Xiao's complaints. They suddenly stopped what they were doing and handed the knife with the handle outward to Li Xiao outside the screen. The meaning was self-evident:
Don't be a bastard, do it yourself if you have the ability!
"Forehead--"
Li Xiao didn't expect that it could hear him, and he was so temperamental that he went on strike directly.
"No, I was being mean for a moment, so I can apologize." Li Xiao saw that he had offended this "producer" and apologized quickly.
The white hand was unmoved, making a "please" gesture, standing aside with his fists in his hands, and his index finger still shaking up and down leisurely.
"I was wrong. You don't remember the faults of villains. Please forgive me for being so mean. Just think that I farted just now." Li Xiao completely displayed his shameless spirit and was completely reduced to a "
Licking the dog”!
These words were obviously very useful to Bai's hand, as it stretched out an internationally accepted greeting gesture - the middle finger, and then started its work again.
"Okay..." Li Xiao rubbed his nose. This was the first time he was greeted by such a strange person.
The white-handed strike also awakened Li Xiao. There are materials and tutorials, why not try to make a stone pickaxe yourself?
As soon as he said it was done, Li Xiao took some materials and learned to make it from scratch.
Don’t have a knife? No problem, just find a piece of wood of the right thickness to use as a pickaxe handle, grind the stone on the big stone nearby, then use thatch to wrap the wood and stone several times and tie them together.
Time flies so fast. For the busy Li Xiao, half an hour comes in the blink of an eye. He throws the prepared stone pickaxe into the inventory and disappears. The experience bar also changes.
【Experience:5/20】
As for Li Xiao, he has finished making the stone pickaxe.
Taking out the stone pickaxe from the inventory, Li Xiao had a stone pickaxe in each hand and compared it.
With just one glance, Li Xiao quickly turned around, pointed the stone pickaxe he made at the sea, and flew out——
Handicapped people don’t deserve to own works!
…………
With the stone pickaxe in hand, Li Xiao immediately clicked on the stone axe making process, and he wielded the stone pickaxe to collect the materials.
The stone pickaxe made by hand is indeed very delicate. The sharp stones are tightly tied to the wooden handle, as if it were a whole body. The focus is on the pickaxe head, which makes it easy to use. The hand is also wrapped with fibers several times, making it very comfortable to hold.
.
There are not many types of basic materials that can be collected in the early stage, just stones, wood, thatch, fiber, animal skins, raw meat and various berries.
Stones can be picked up from the ground, but most of them need to be smashed with a stone axe;
Both wood and thatch come from trees;
The fiber and berries come from those waist-high ferns;
Needless to say, animal skins and raw meat are sources of all animal skins and meats.
"Ka~ka~ka~" Knock along the texture of the stone, and in just a few strokes, you can knock down a football-sized stone. As long as you can pick it up, you can put it directly into the inventory. As for counting how many stones
, then it depends on the volume of the stone.
After collecting a lot of materials, Li Xiao gradually figured out the rules of the inventory. That is, each piece of material is the same amount. A stone the size of an orange is a unit. Put more than one unit of stone into the item.
Column, only one unit of stone is taken out, and this stone is part of the stone that was just put in. As for stones smaller than one unit, it cannot be put into the inventory directly. It seems that the inventory does not accept gravel.
