In a blink of an eye, three days passed.
During these three days, Yun Yi felt unprecedentedly relaxed. He didn't need to sleep. Every day, he was either fishing by the pond in the villa courtyard or strolling in Zhaojiazhuang.
With his help, Zhaojiazhuang presented a thriving scene. There was no trace of the previous deadness. The most important thing was that Yun Yi's arrival ignited the hope of survival for the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang.
The divine milk medicine can cure all diseases and injuries. Unlimited water sources can ensure that grain production will not decrease in drought. With food in hand, a giant boulder lifted from their hearts
The harvest of fishing in these three days was also very rich. MC fishing rod flat It takes about 30 seconds to catch a rod so he caught more than 3,000 items in three days.
He could sit by the pond and fish for more than ten hours a day. Even Zhao Yun, who had been accompanying him, couldn't endure it anymore and he kept dozing off while sitting next to him so Yun Yi simply let Zhao Yun go back to rest when he was tired, and he didn't have to accompany him all the time.
Putting the fishing rod aside, Yun Yi opened the chest beside him that was specially used to store fishing catches. He smiled happily. There were more than 2,000 fish of various kinds. More than 700 raw fish, more than 600 raw cod, more than 400 raw salmon, 100 tropical fish and more than 300 pufferfish.
It can be said that the number of fish he caught alone was enough for the hundreds of people in Zhaojiazhuang to eat fish until they vomited.
In addition to fish, there was also a lot of "garbage". Of course, the garbage in MC is not really garbage but compared to the "treasure", these are not very useful and rare things.
However, put them in the real world and these "garbage" are still very useful. And some of them are hard to get in reality.
Except for rotten meat! Although this thing is rare it is not only useless in the game, but even more useless in reality. Plus, he caught more than 100 pieces.
At first, he was quite curious about rotten meat. After all, he traveled to the real world, but there are no zombies. So theoretically, it is impossible for him to get rotten meat by killing zombies.
But when he took out the rotten meat, let's just say he was glad there were no zombies and rotten meat in this world. Well, there is rotten meat but not like the one MC has. If MC food is tastier then normal then rotten meat is way worse in reality"
The smell was simply horrendous. At that time, Zhao Yun, Zhao Yu and Zhao Yan were also beside him and they almost fainted and threw up.
In the game, you can also eat a few pieces of rotten meat to replenish the satiety then use milk to eliminate the negative status.
But in reality...Yun Yi couldn't bring himself to do it even if his satiety was gone and near death, he would never take a bite of rotten meat.
This stuff smells stronger than a cesspool tank and eating rotten meat is worse than eating shit since at least the smell of shit is lighter than rotten meat.
In addition to rotten meat, the "garbage" caught, he can actually use. For example, water lilies. In addition to decorating the pond, it can also form a path for people to walk on the water.
Or leather, throwing it into the workbench can make leather armor, saddles and leather horse armor. Yes, saddles. It seems that with the merging of the two different rules, some of the MC rules restrictions have also been loosened.
Even bones can be decomposed into bone meal to ripen crops. Also, if Yun Yi has MC bones in his hand. He will be able to transform wolves into pet wolves. Though that was currently just a theory.
In addition to the rotten meat and leather, he caught more than a hundred "garbage" items.
Finally, there is the "treasure". These are items that are very scarce even in the game. Enchanted books, enchanted bows, enchanted fishing rods, name tags, saddles and nautilus shells. Oh, and there is also a trident that cannot be caught in the game but has a chance to be caught in reality.
Among them, more than 50 enchanted books were caught. There are all kinds of effects, among which [Durability] enchantment is the most common.
A total of three enchanted bows were caught though it was to deal. One had [Power 4] enchantment, one had [Unbreaking 1, Punch 1] enchantment, and the last is [Power 3, Punch 2] enchantment.
Although the effects are still very good, he had really wanted to get his hands on either infinity or flame enchantments and he didn't have any amongst the enchantment books which numbered over fifty.
Fortunately, the bows enchanted with infinity and fire arrows are not a must-have enchantment. At most, it can only be regarded as icing on the cake. So he is not in a hurry to get it for the time being.
In addition to ordinary fishing rods, he also caught two enchanted fishing rods. One was enchanted with [Unbreaking 3, Luck it the Sea 1], and the other enchanted with [Lure 1]. The effect is very good since he can use the anvil to merge their enchantment effects together.
So, Yun Yi threw the two enchanted fishing rods with different enchantment effects into the anvil and got the enchanted fishing rod that exudes brilliance in his hand now. It now has three enchantments of [Unbreaking 3, Lure 1, Luck it the Sea 1].
These three enchantments greatly improve his fishing rod. The [Unbreaking 3] enchantment can increase the durability of the fishing rod, so that it will not break so fast.
The [Luck it the Sea 1] enchantment can increase the probability of catching rarer items.
The [Lure 1] enchantment reduces the time it takes for a fish to be hooked when fishing. In the past, it took an average of about 30 seconds to catch a fish but with the Bait Fishing enchantment, it'll only take about 20 seconds each time.
Don't underestimate the difference of a few seconds. When the y'all add up together, it saves him a bunch of time. Also, with the anvil, he can continue to stack enchantments to the very limit, if there even is one after MC rule merges with reality.
For example, you can combine 2 [Luck it the Sea 1] to turn it into [Luck it the Sea 2] and [Luck it the Sea 3] can also be obtained this way. Unfortunately, there is no new [Luck it the Sea 1] in any of the enchantment books that was caught. Otherwise, he would have upgraded his fishing rod immediately
Closing the chest, Yun Yi picked up the enchanted fishing rod and planned to continue fishing.
However, at this time, Zhao Yan suddenly ran over from the backyard of the villa:
"My Lord, it's ripe, all the carrots are ripe."
"Really?" Yun Yi's eyes lit up.
These carrots were planted during the last test. The purpose is to see how fast these MC crops grow naturally. It seems that his hypothesis was correct. It has only been three days, and the carrots have all matured.
As for Zhao Yan, He is the person he arranged to look after the crop planting area and livestock breeding area in the backyard. Usually when he is fishing or strolling outside. Once the crops are ripe, he needs to be notified as soon as possible.
"Okay, I'll go there now."
After saying that, Yun Yi put the enchanted fishing rod in his hand into his inventory then walked to the backyard of the villa with Zhao Yan.
The backyard of the villa has a total of 800 square meters, which is divided into crop planting area and livestock breeding area.
The two areas are about the same size, both are 400 square meters.
Among them, 150 square meters of the crop planting area are used to plant wheat, 150 square meters are used to plant carrots, and the last 100 square meters are used to plant sugarcane.
Sugarcane grows very fast, about one meter a day. But theoretically, it can only grow to three meters at most. So as soon as the sugarcane grew to three meters, he had already harvested it and replanted it.
Now that the carrots are ripe, it's time to harvest carrots. The carrots in the field are somewhat similar to those in the game but a little different.
Unlike in the game, it's not too square and still looks normal. Of course, normal as in looking perfect.
The green branches and leaves are very large.
Almost covering the entire land. From the previous test, if an ordinary person harvests.
One square meter can harvest a maximum of eight carrots.
But he can only harvest 1 to 4 carrots.still, it might be different so Yun Yi asked Zhao Yan to call a few more people from the village to help him harvest carrots.
Zhao Yan nodded and went out happily. While Zhao Yan was calling people, Yun Yi observed the wheat planting area next to the carrot planting area.
The wheat had already grown very high, almost to the waist. The color was also light yellow with a little dark yellow. The wheat was not fully mature right now but according to the degree of maturity. It should be fully mature tomorrow.
It was a day later than carrots but still very fast. Sugarcane matures every two days, carrots mature every three days, and wheat matures every four days. Compared with real crops that take several months to mature, these three items are simply divine objects!
Hearing that the Lord Gods needed help, the villagers of Zhaojiazhuang were very enthusiastic. There were so many that Zhao Yan had to calm them down at the entrance to the villa.
After randomly choosing which ones to come in, there were 14 more people following him. After all, the area for planting carrots in the backyard of the villa was only 150 square meters so there wouldn't be enough space for anymore.
Three minutes later, Zhao Yan brought fourteen villagers to the backyard of the villa.
"My Lord, then are here."
Zhao Yan said.
When the villagers saw Yun Yi, they all bowed respectfully. "Greetings, My Lord."
Yun Yi nodded slightly: "Your next task is very simple, just pull out all the carrots in the field."
The villagers nodded and began to act immediately. The villagers of Zhaojiazhuang have grown up farming all their lives so they just observed briefly and found the best way to pull out the carrots.
They first loosened the soil around the carrots with their hands then they lifted the upper part and rotated it vigorously. Finally, they pulled it out and an orange-yellow carrot with some mud on it popped out.
Others used the same method. The speed was extremely fast and it took less than a minute to pull out a carrot on average. MC carrots can produce eight carrots per square meter stably so fifteen people harvested eighty carrots across 150 square meters.
The workload is not too large. Half an hour later, all the carrots in the field were pulled out and harvested a total of 1,200 carrots.
Looking at the pile of carrots, Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction:
"Good job."
Then, he took out fifteen cooked fish that had just been cooked in the furnace from his inventory and gave it to them.
"My Lord God, we are here to help voluntarily."
The villagers shook their heads and refused, "And you have helped us so much, if we still want rewards, we would be ungrateful."
Yun Yi smiled and said: "I understand"
"But these cooked fish are not valuable to me, you can take them back to add it to your meal. "
For him, cooked fish is not a valuable item.
He can catch hundreds of fish a day. One cooked fish can replenish about three grids of satiety and in the real world, one grid of satiety can last for two or three hours.
In other words, the amount of fish caught in one day is enough for him to last hundreds of days. Moreover, these many fish will take up space in his chest even if they are not eaten so he might as well give these cooked fish as daily rewards.
It not only keeps it from being wasted but it can also win people's hearts. Seeing Yun Yi's firm attitude, the villagers could only accept these cooked fish.
Although they refused, when they really got the cooked fish, they couldn't hide the joy on their faces. This is not just ordinary fish meat, it is super delicious and can replenish qi and blood. It is comparable to a hundred-year-old ginseng.
It is so precious that the food that Yun Yi sent before were not actually eaten and instead stored for when they need it. Moreover, this divine food that can replenish satiety is a more valuable currency than gold and silver in Zhaojiazhuang and Xinghua Village.
If you want to exchange it for ordinary food, one portion of divine food can be exchanged for at least ten portions of food of the same weight. You know, it is a year of famine now and before the harvest in autumn. Whether it is Zhaojiazhuang or Xinghua Village, the grain reserves of the two families are not much.
Even so, Zhao An, Chu Ji, and Xiahou Xing still said they will still exchange that much and more for the divine food so you can imagine how precious the divine food is.
Of course, the residents are not stupid.
If they aren't in urgent need of food, they would never exchange the divine food. If they were in danger of life one day, eating divine food could save their lives.
Afterwards, the villagers happily left Yun Yi's villa with ten kilograms of cooked fish. Zhao Yan also took the cooked fish back happily and he planned to give it to his father Zhao An for safekeeping.
Yun Yi looked at the 1,200 carrots in the backyard and fell into deep thought. Although they were harvested by ordinary people and have all become real carrots, as long as he sowed them, there is no difference between these carrots and MC carrots.
He can quickly expand the carrot planting area of 1,200 square meters. As Zhaojiazhuang began to accept refugees, the demand for food would definitely increase. Therefore, it is urgent to expand the scale of planting. However, this also raises a problem. Where should he plant these carrots?
Yun Yi currently has three ideas. First, find a piece of wasteland around Zhaojiazhuang then reclaim it for planting. But the disadvantages are very obvious because the land near Zhaojiazhuang has basically been reclaimed into farmland by the villagers so if you want to find a piece of wasteland around it, it'll be at least several miles away.
In addition, the MC crops mature every few days. Once planting begins, he will have to run out every three to five days. If the planting area continues to expand then it will only be more annoying.
In the future, he will probably have to spend at least two to three hours on the way to the plant crops every day. Anyway, it was annoying so he ruled it out.
The second idea is to requisition the current farmland in Zhaojiazhuang. It's close to the village and quite large with thousands of acres. With the MC crops the yield will be several times more than it is now. But the disadvantage is that it will shrink the original arable land area of the villagers.
Yun Yi's idea has always been to plant real crops as the main crop. MC crops can be planted as a supplement. After all, he doesn't want to work so hard every day after he's traveled through time.
He just works in the company before traveling through time and now he becomes a farm planter after traveling through time. He doesn't want to work anymore so this idea can only be ruled out.
In the end, there is only one idea left. Except for a little work, the rest are advantages. That is underground planting. He will pretty much dig an underground space under the village then plant the MC crops in it.
In this way, it does not occupy the original arable land area of the villagers and the distance is very close. He can go down in minutes by taking a water elevator.
The only disadvantage is that it takes a while to hollow out the ground for building. He has to dig the underground space then also transform the underground space so that it can plant MC crops. And every time he expands the planting area afterwards, the underground space must also be expanded simultaneously.
Real crops need a lot of conditions to grow normally. Bright sunshine, fertile soil, sufficient water, humid environment, suitable temperature, etc. If one thing goes wrong, the crops will die in front of everyone.
But MC crops do not have such conditions, even if there is no water around, MC crops can actually grow. It's just that the growth rate will be much slower.
The requirement for the growth of MC crops after planting is that the light brightness should at least be at level 9. Whether it is sunlight, torch, or lanterns, MC crops can grow as long as it reaches the required brightness. So as long as he plants a few torches around the field, the MC crops can grow smoothly.
In addition, the underground space is not like the surface, limited to only one floor. As long as Yun Yi wants, he can create ten floors, twenty floors, thirty floors, or even a hundred floors.
It's also not difficult to let others help harvest, he would just need to build a staircase for them. If he doing his own thing, he will take the water elevator, and the people who come to harvest will take the stairs. Both sides won't disturb each other.
After thinking thoroughly, Yun Yi decided to choose the third method. He is Steve! And he is a machine!
After the underground farm is built, he can move the livestock there and continue to breed them.
Yun Yi's luxury villa is ordinary, and there is nothing inside. But when you go down the stairs to the underground, you will find a super underground space that can support millions of people. Just thinking about it made his spirit burn!
Yun Yi immediately decided to get to work.
However, before digging the underground space, some preparations must be made. He needs to craft a lot of shovels and some pickaxes.
The shovel requires iron ingots and wooden sticks and synthesis of wooden sticks requires logs.
Yun Yi looked at the logs in his inventory and sighed, due to his previous excessive use the number of logs is not much.
Luckily, wooden sticks can also be caught by fishing and over the last 3 days, he had caught more than a hundred wooden sticks. These wooden sticks are enough to craft the iron shovels needed for digging underground space.
But the lack of logs still reminded Yun Yi that if there are big projects in the future, the logs will eventually be exhausted.
'It seems that I have to go back to Taihang Mountains. Fine then, I will not come back without thousands or tens of thousands of logs!' Yun Yi thought.
Then, he put the iron ingots and wooden sticks into the workbench. The next moment, a full forty iron shovels were crafted by him.
The reason why they are all iron shovels is because Yun Yi planned to only dig ten meters down which doesn't reach a rock layer. This height is very suitable, and it is difficult for ordinary people to dig that deep down.
If ordinary people want to go to the underground farm to harvest crops, ten meters is not too high. It is just a few steps along the stairs.
And for digging soil, shovels are the best. One shovel is better than ten pickaxes . With so many shovels, theoretically, it should be enough to dig out the underground space. After all, it is the first phase of the underground space.
Yun Yi planned a height of two meters and an area of 3,000 square meters.
1,200 square meters are used to grow carrots, 1,200 square meters are used to grow wheat, and the remaining 600 square meters are used to grow sugarcane.
If he needs to continue to expand the planting later or increase the space for raising livestock, he will only need to expand or add another layer on the basis of the original underground space.
He put all 40 shovels into the inventory then brought out a stack of torches. Yun Yi was excited to embark on the journey of digging underground space.
He walked to the water elevator made by digging granite before and jumped into the water elevator and slowly descended along the water stream. After he descended about ten meters, he hovered there and jumped out of the water stream.
Then he equipped two shovels and began to dig like a madman. Let's do this!!
With the experience of shoveling soil when building a house before, he dug faster this time than last time. His arms swung out afterimages and blocks of dirt fell every second.
Swish, swish, swish!
The soil is like tofu. Every second, many dirt met their ends. Yun Yi has not collected these dirt blocks because his inventory space was filled up. Compared with collecting some useless dirt blocks, it is more efficient to carry shovels.
Every few dozen blocks, Yun Yi took out a torch from his inventory and stuck it on the well and ground. Also he has a torch strapped to his back, it gives great vision and it doesn't burn.
There is another advantage of the underground space. Compared with the heat on the ground, the underground is cooler and this is only ten meters underground. If it is hundreds of meters underground. You might even feel a chill.
With the torch lighting the way, Yun Yi continued to dig forward. However, just as he was about to continue, the quiet underground space suddenly made a "rustling" sound.
Suddenly, a few pieces of small mud fell on his head. Yun Yi reacted immediately and placed a dirt block above his head.
Dirt in reality follows the laws of physics so if there's not enough support, the dirt will collapse under gravity.
But in MC, only a few blocks such as sand and gravel will fall under the influence of gravity while other blocks directly ignore gravity. As long as there is support when the block is placed at the beginning.
Even if the support is removed later. The MC block will not fall, but will be suspended in the air.
But at this time, the dirt above his head is still real soil, and has not been replaced by MC soil so when he dug out this relatively large underground space. The soil above his head showed signs of falling.
Seeing this situation, he was immediately reminded that this was not a game. In the game, you can be reborn after death and at most, the items on your inventory will fall out but you can't still return and collect your stuff again.
In reality, if he is suffocated by falling dirt, he will most likely be killed. The problem was that if he is pressed by the soil, he will not be able to move so he could not destroy the dirt to get out. Plus, he is still not sure if he can respawn after death and quite honestly, he is not keen on testing it at the moment.
Yun Yi dropped a few shovels from his inventory then quickly picked up the scattered dirt blocks.
The next moment, Yun Yi held the dirt blocks and willed his mind. A pillar composed of dirt blocks instantly appeared in the center of the underground space.
One end pressed on the ground, and the other end was in the sky. It firmly supported the soil that was about to fall. Of course, this is not enough. After all, the underground space he wants to dig is very large.
If he continues to expand, this small pillar cannot support the soil in every position of the underground space from falling. So, he directly covered the dirt ceiling with dirt blocks
With the power of MC rules, the soil above the dirt block will not collapse anytime soon.
After that, Yun Yi continued to dig but this time, he shoveled away the soil in front of him and after every few meters, he turned around and placed dirt blocks above him.
After an hour and a half later. Yun Yi looked at the underground space he dug with satisfaction. The area is more than 3,000 square meters and two meters high.
As for the height, although it is short, it is just right for growing crops. After all, most crops are less than two meters long, except for sugarcane and bamboo.
Anyway, he will not grow bamboo for the time being. The sugarcane in the game can grow to three meters high naturally but it is not a big problem because as long as the sugarcane grows more than a meter tall he can just harvest it.
According to the MC rules, as long as the sugarcane is left with one section, it will continue to grow endlessly.
Yun Yi used a shovel to dig several criss-cross ditches on the ground and divided the entire underground space into several small areas. Each small area can be affected by the water in the ditch.
Afterwards, he hurriedly returned to the ground along the water elevator and got the bucket stored in the chests then filled his inventory.
Then he returned to the underground space and placed the infinite water blocks along the crisscrossing ditches. Especially the position where two ditches connected vertically and horizontally.
As soon as he finished placing them, the water in the infinite water blocks began to spread outward. However, because they were placed in the ditches, they could only flow slowly along the ditches.
Theoretically, these waters cannot spread more than seven meters. Otherwise, they will be blocked by the air wall.
But how smart is Yun Yi? He is well versed in the various characteristics of MC. So he just set the distance between each infinite water block within seven meters.
In this way, the water flowing out can just connect with each other. When all the ditches are filled with water. Yun Yi returned to the surface along the water elevator again.
He first put the empty iron buckets back into the chest then he took out the iron ingot and wooden stick from it. He threw them onto the workbench and crafted ten iron hoes.
Finally, he took out the carrots, wheat and sugar cane that he would need to plant later from the chest and head beach to the underground farm.
The ceiling of the underground space was already full of torches, he just put it upside down so it'll stick to the ceiling. The warm light illuminated the underground space extremely brightly.
Yun Yi took out two iron hoes. One in the left hand, one in the right hand. He swung the hoe at the soil on the ground like an orchestra conductor. Wherever the iron hoe went, all the soil was turned into fertile farmland.
Not long after, he finished tilling 1200 square meters of carrot planting area and 1200 square meters of wheat planting area. Sugarcane on the other hand does not have to be planted on farmland.
As long as it is close to a water source, it can be planted on sand, not to mention soil. So he did not cultivate the sugarcane planting area.
Then, Yun Yi took out various crops from his inventory and started planting. Planting is very simple, just walk and scatter the seeds along the way.
After the wheat falls on the farmland, it will automatically sink into the soil. Then in just a few moments, a few green seedlings will break through the soil and pop up.
The carrots are the same, he did the same thing and not long after the originally bare farmland grew green carrot branches and leaves.
Sugarcane is the most troublesome. You need to stick a long section of sugarcane into the soil but at least it only needs to be planted once. After that, just leave a section in place when harvesting and it will continue to grow.
After planting all the 3,000 square meters of the underground space. Yun Yi nodded with satisfaction. One square meter can produce eight kilograms of carrots in three days. This 1,200 square meter planting area can produce 9,600 kilograms of carrots in three days.
The unit yield of wheat is less than that of carrots with one square meter producing four kilograms in four days. A 1,200 square meter planting area can produce 4,800 kilograms of wheat in four days.
If calculated based on two kilograms of food per person per day. This small underground space can feed at least two thousand people.
The per-acre grain yield in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was far less than that of later generations. Grain seeds in later generations have been improved, screened, and cultivated.
The same wheat, the yield per mu of wheat in later generations can exceed 1,000 jin. However, the yield per mu of wheat in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was only more than 200 jin.
But it is still good farmland. If the land is a little barren, the yield per mu of an acre of inferior land may be only more than 100 jin. This is why a family in ancient times could barely survive by planting five mu of land. Planting ten mu or more of land can make life a little easier.
The Zhao family for example. On the surface, a village has thousands of mu of land. In later generations, it is definitely considered rich but in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, it can only be considered a slightly well off family, not even a local noble family.
Because of various taxes, the Zhao family can only have surplus food in years of good weather and good harvests. Once there is a famine year, the whole village still has to tighten their belts to live. What kind of aristocratic family is this?
The real aristocratic family is like the Yuan family with three generations of officials. There are hundreds of thousands of acres of high-quality farmland in Runan County where the family is located.
If the farmland purchased in other states and counties is included, there are more than one million acres. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are rich enough to rival a country.
And this is also the reason why the imperial power of the Han Dynasty fell into the hands of others. The Yuan family almost divided half of the Han Dynasty with the power of one family.
It's a pity that the Yuan family is in serious internal strife. Otherwise, with the wealth of the Yuan family and the influence of four generations of three officials all over the world, it is possible to end the Han Dynasty and change the dynasty.
After contemplating for a bit , Yun Yi took out the shovel again. In order to make it convenient for ordinary people to come down to the underground space to harvest, he also had to dig out a staircase.
Yun Yi carried the shovel and dug upward along the edge of the underground space at a 45-degree angle. Because the depth was only ten meters, it only took more than ten seconds to dig to the ground.
Of course, although this newly dug staircase can also be walked on, it is actually not convenient because each level is a standard MC block. The drop is as high as one meter, he can't let the people who come down to the underground farm to harvest later use their hands and feet to go up and down the stairs, right?
Yun Yi put down the stone cutter on the ground then used it to cut the granite block into a granite staircase. Well, the drop of the granite staircase made by the stone cutter is also very large.
After all, a staircase with a height of one meter only has two steps. But compared with directly using granite blocks, the drop is much smaller.
Only half a meter.
People who come down to the underground space in the future can only lift their feet a little higher.
Yun Yi went up the stairs all the way until he returned to the surface. The exit of the stairs happened to be the front yard of the villa and it was very close to the gate.
This location is very good. If someone wants to go in and out of the underground space in the future, it will not disturb him.
Yun Yi looked up at the sky. Time flies so fast, it was only noon when he was about to dig the underground space, now it is almost evening.
While there is still some daylight, he plans to go fishing in the pond again. Yun Yi felt like he had become a fisherman. He felt uncomfortable if he didn't fish a few times a day.
It wasn't that he really loved fishing. It was just that he actually gets things when fishing. If it was normal, he would have to wait dozens of minutes to hours just to catch something he didn't need, which is fish.
Anyways, fishing gets him enchanted books which is the most valuable item he'll get out of it. After all, an enchantment table was needed to make an enchanted book and crafting it required books, diamonds and obsidian.
The books were simple. First, use sugar cane to craft paper, and then use a few pieces of paper to get books. But obsidian and diamonds were difficult.
Among the two, obsidian is just a little easier. He can squire it by just using a lava bucket and water, but diamonds were too difficult to get.
Unlike in the game where diamonds would be randomly generated near the bedrock layer.
In reality, if you can't find a diamond mine, you won't find diamonds even if you dig all your life.
Yun Yi knew that there were many diamond mines in Africa but the problem was that he didn't even know which region in Africa is more common.
So diamonds…he can only go with the flow. Without diamonds, there is no obsidian, and without obsidian, there is no way to craft an enchantment table. Without an enchantment table, there is no way to make an enchantment book.
So at present, fishing is the best and only way for Yun Yi to obtain an enchantment book. The only disadvantage was that it heavily relied on luck. But as long as he fishes enough, no matter how unlucky he is he will eventually get something good like the trident he manages to fish out. Another example is the enchanted fishing rod he is using now.
Yum Yum came to the pond and sat on the rock stair in the pavilion skillfully. He took out the enchanted fishing rod from the chest nearby and he swung it.
The white fish floated on the water surface and sank. With the [Lure] enchantment, the waiting time gets much shorter so he can get more out of it.
About twenty seconds later. A ripple appeared on the water surface and a trail of clear bubbles quickly floated from the edge of the pond to the fish float.
The next moment, the fish float sank rapidly.
Yun Yi raised his hand lightly and an orange-yellow object flew up from the water.
It was not an enchanted object. So, Leather?
The items fell to the ground and Yun Yi took a closer look. It turned out to be a saddle. Among the many items that can be caught, the saddle is a "treasure".
The probability of being caught is extremely low. He had fished for three days before but hadn't caught one saddle. And saddles are very precious. In MC, if it is a version before 1.6.4. Then it can be crafted with leather and iron ingots.
But after version 1.6.4. Saddles can no longer be crafted on the workbench and the only way to obtain it is by fishing or in chests from generated structure.
Of course, Yun Yi is not bound by this restriction. Because he had long discovered that his workbench can craft saddles with iron ingots and leather.
Before crossing over, he was playing the latest version of MC so normally saddles should not be able to be crafted on the workbench.
He thinks that when he time travels, all the older versions of MC had come with him. If this is true then that would be great. After all, there are many features in the older versions.
Yun Yi picked up the saddle and his eyes lit up. Although he had enough leather and iron ingots in his inventory. He didn't craft the saddle because it wasn't too useful.
He didn't have a golden carrot or golden apple yet so there's no way to breed MC horses, donkeys and mules. Without these animals, the role of the saddle became obsolete.
Wait! Yun Yi suddenly remembered a special feature of the saddle. The saddle is not necessarily only used for animals such as horses.
It can also be used to ride... pigs. Yes, it is to ride pigs! This is why it is called a saddle instead of a horse saddle. It is because it can not only ride horses, but also pigs.
Riding pigs does not require taming like horses. You just need to put the saddle on the pig and you can ride it. However, the pig will not move as you want so you need another item with it, a carrot on a stick!
You just need to take out the carrot on a stick and you can ride the pig. You can control the direction and acceleration at will.
Don't underestimate the pig. If the carrot stick is used, the pig can reach a maximum speed of 8 meters per second, that is 28.8 kilometers in an hour or 17 miles.
Also, since the animals in MC do not fatigue, the pig can continue to run at a continuous speed for however long he wants!
It can run 28.8 kilometers in an hour, and 691.2 kilometers in 24 hours. Is this an ordinary pig? No, this is clearly a thousand-mile pig! It is purer than the Red Hare and the Jade Lion Horse.
If there is a disadvantage then it's just that riding a pig may be a bit embarrassing. After all, others ride tall horses, and they look like a majestic general when they go out while he rides a pig. Still, it didn't matter since his pig is more special than any other horse in this world so it won't stain his dignity.
Plus, pigs in China this time around are black. After breeding, there is also a sense of dominance so it is much better than the white, silly and cute Yorkshire pigs.
Anyway, the people here were all new to him and for him, this time traveling through the late Eastern Han Dynasty was more like playing a game then actually living in real life. Riding a pig is so interesting, how could he not experience it if you have the chance?
So, he decisively took out a fishing rod and a carrot from the chest. Then he put them on the workbench and the next moment, a carrot stick hanging on it was born.
Now , the only thing missing is a pog. Yun Yi laughed and ran straight to the livestock breeding area in the backyard of the villa.
