After breakfast, Jack came to Pingyuan, not far from his home.
A simple studio was set up, and a shovel was spit out on the synthesis table.
Jack held it in his hand and weighed it.
As usual, he could not feel the weight of the 1m² iron ore, as if he had only an ordinary farm hoe in his hand.
But whether it is that MC's physical rules are incomplete, or he himself has been assimilated into Steve's superhuman physique, it is difficult to judge without a reference.
Return to the present moment.
In the MC world, water is a magical thing.
As long as you dig a 2×2 grid and place a bucket of water in each diagonal corner, this small pool can produce endless water.
This is what players commonly call infinite water.
"I see, that's amazing."
Listening to Jack's explanation, Keqing also marveled at the unique world rules of MC.
The shovel digs very efficiently.
In less than half an hour, Jack had dug a 9×9 pool that was 1 to 2 blocks deep.
Theoretically, he can just dig a 2×2 and use it.
But now that we are in the real MC world, a 2×2 puddle is a bit too petty.
Besides, the water in MC is basically not dirty. When you are tired of farming, you can take a bath with Keqing in it, which is also a way to relax.
But soon, Jack paid the price for his naive ideas.
"This is the nth bucket, why is it not full yet?"
Jack looked at the swimming pool where the water was still flowing, feeling a little confused.
This has been going on for several times. Logically, even a 9×9 pool should be full.
If he hadn't used the nesting doll method to build a 2×2 infinite water system, the distance from the river to the swimming pool alone would have exhausted him.
"Oh, I did it myself, go on."
Jack continued to pour water in obediently.
After who knows how many buckets had been poured, the surface of the water in the swimming pool finally became smooth, showing the shape that infinite water should have.
"Games are games, and reality is reality. So far, there are too many things in this world that are different from the original game."
Jack sighed, feeling that he really couldn't face the world with a playful mentality, and should face nature with awe.
Take out the dirt blocks to fill the original 2×2 grid. After destroying the meritorious small pool, fill the three iron buckets in the backpack with water. The wasteland reclamation operation officially begins!
...
Farming is an instinct engraved in the DNA of the Chinese people.
For the MC world, farming is an indispensable logistical support for adventure activities.
In this block world, planting is not as complicated as you might imagine.
Dig a grid of water pit, and it can irrigate the entire 9×9 grid around it, meeting the planting needs of 80 squares.
Just sow the seeds and leave them alone, a cycle of growth will be completed in a few days, and then you can harvest them and start the next round of planting.
No need to worry about pest control, no need to worry about fertilizing, it's pure lazy farming.
"Speaking of which, there's a Farmer's Delight mod in the Dragon Adventure package."
Halfway through the cultivation, Jack found that the variety of seeds he had was pitifully small. If he couldn't get some fruits and vegetables for daily consumption, it would be uneconomical to keep buying them from the grocery store.
After all, props for non-original MC content are sold in sets of 12, which is really a rip-off.
But after some thought, Jack decided not to rashly load the integration package just for a little convenience.
It's not that he deliberately hid it.
Dragon's Adventure is an integrated package that combines a series of tags such as survival, adventure, farming, magic, etc., with a total of nearly 200 modules. It is the series that Jack played the most in his previous life.
Because you play more, you understand more and your thinking becomes more complex.
There is no such thing as splitting the integrated package. When using it, it is equivalent to decompressing the compressed file with one click.
Therefore, once loaded, one or two hundred modules will be used at the same time, which is definitely a huge shock to the current world.
A dragon's nest might appear next to your cabin in the woods, or there might be a dungeon under your own warehouse.
Who knows whether the current mutated version of MC's Ping mode can withstand the dragon's wrath.
He didn't want to die with his new wife under the unknown AOE of the dragon.
"Let's just stay here for now. The grocery store is open now. I'll wait until I get two sets of diamond suits, then I'll go meet these extraordinary creatures."
Put aside those divergent thoughts in your mind.
Jack continued to swing the iron hoe.
The results are also gratifying.
In the only hour left in the morning, three fields were reclaimed, each with 80 grids, for a total of 240 grids available.
In the afternoon, Keqing, who couldn't sit still, came to work with him.
The two men reclaimed 17 more plots of land and cleared away some weeds at the same time, and planted all the wheat seeds they had obtained.
That night, the full moon was high in the sky.
Jack and Keqing sat in the temporary studio, each holding a grilled fish for dinner.
"It's finally over, and the next step is to wait for the harvest."
Jack made a simple calculation.
A total of 1,600 plots of land were reclaimed in this batch, which sounds large, but in fact the total area is less than 3 mu.
Due to the difference between reality and the game, each piece of land can now produce about 1 to 3 portions of wheat, each weighing about 500g.
Excluding the daily food consumption of him and Keqing, basically every 100 pieces of land can sell about 200 pieces of wheat, which means 3,200 pieces of wheat in one cycle, which is equivalent to 2,500 world coins.
The daily earning efficiency is 500 coins.
This is much faster than fishing with garbage and pufferfish!
...
The 8th day in MC world.
Completed: Phase I farmland reclamation plan, estimated wheat production of 3,200 units/cycle, redeemable for 2,500 world coins.
World currency balance: Keqing 400 coins, Jack 650 coins.
Next step: Phase II expansion of the underground mine to search for and mine diamonds.
...
After a tiring day, Jack and Keqing had no intention of exploring the mysteries of life tonight.
At the desk, Jack used the paper and pen bought from the grocery store to record today's gains and plans.
Behind him, Keqing rested her chin on his head and hugged Jack from behind.
"Are you worried about going down to the mine tomorrow?"
Jack held the jade hand that was moving from the back of his neck, and his brows relaxed slightly.
"Yes, this world is huge, far more real than a game. We don't have a depth locator, so if we want to dig up diamonds, we'll probably have to spend a lot of time relying on luck."
"Maybe I should consider saving up to buy a Divine Eye. I feel like my abilities aren't limited too much in this world. If you can activate the Rock-attributed Divine Eye, it should be very helpful for digging and finding ores."
Living in a world with supernatural powers, Keqing and Jack naturally think differently, so they associate some of the abilities of the rock elementalists in Teyvat with them.
"Hmm? I don't know the principle, but it sounds like that."
"But according to the settings, the attributes of the Eye of God cannot be determined by individuals. So the probability of me awakening the Rock attribute is only 1/7."
"But that's still better than finding diamonds all over the world."
Jack nodded, then postponed the task of going to the mine in his notebook and added a short-term goal in the middle.
Expand farmland, accumulate funds, and obtain an Eye of God!
