Volume 4: National Craftsmanship Chapter 2: Promoting “block capabilities”?
"You are all my closest people, and there are some things you should know. In fact, I only have this one ability, which is... the extremely creative 'block ability'! In addition to the simple crushing, storage, and placement of items that you just used, I can also make a lot of equipment, machines, potions, etc. Now that my ability has been upgraded again, I can make a lot of new equipment. These are part of it, which can allow people wearing [Traveler's Gloves] to obtain part of my 'block ability'. This is an extremely powerful auxiliary ability, including: storage, construction, destruction, etc. So the question is, should we promote this ability?"
This was the first time Shen Jin talked about his ability with others. Although he had used it many times before, no one had a clear idea of it. After all... they had completely forgotten the existence of the game "Minecraft"...
Before this, none of them had asked about the limits and sources of Shen Jin's abilities.
Yang Ao knew where to stand. He was Shen Jin's younger brother. Did he need to know all his elder brother's secrets? No! It might not be a good thing for him to know too much. He just needed to know...Brother Jin is awesome! Brother Jin 666! Brother Jin's Diao Chan is on his waist!
Shang Qian knew her limits. She wanted to know but didn't ask. She was waiting for Shen Jin to tell her himself. They were both smart people. If Shen Jin didn't intend to let her know, there was no point in her asking.
As for Li Moxiao... she was just a simple idiot. She only knew that following the weird uncle would give her a sense of security and food to eat. As for how the base was built? Where did the food come from? Uh... she had never thought about it. Maybe the uncle could use magic?
Shang Qian suddenly asked: "If we gain this ability...is there any limit? Time or number of times?"
When? How many times?
Shen Jin looked at Shang Qian's round white rabbits wrapped in clothes... brooch, and suddenly remembered a famous saying by Lu Xun: "If you don't have enough time, you can make up for it with frequency!"
Yang Ao had played with Shen Jin for a whole night last night and had figured out the way this ability worked. He explained, "Sister Qian, look at your gloves. As you use them more and more, they will become more and more damaged until they are completely damaged and you lose the ability to change blocks. Brother Jin said that the new [Traveler's Gloves] can be used 10,000 times, which means... after we obtain and place blocks 10,000 times in total, we will temporarily lose the 'blocking ability' and need to find Brother Jin to repair them before we can use them again. Backpacks and belts will not be damaged under normal use, but... they will be damaged by external force, causing the items inside to fall out!"
Shang Qian nodded in understanding: "Is that so... That's easy. Since the [Traveler's Gloves] are the key to obtaining the 'blocking ability', and once it is damaged, it is impossible to destroy, take out, or place blocks, then this ability is limited. If you want to continue to obtain this ability, you must rely on us. If there are enough raw materials, we can gradually promote these equipment! This may become... an opportunity for our No. 1 Home to take off! Think about it, if everyone can collect and place blocks, our city walls will become very strong, our base buildings will be extremely rich, and our scavenging teams will be filled to the brim..."
Li Moxiao's eyes suddenly lit up: "Then... can you ask them to leave all the delicious food for me!"
Yang Ao slapped his thigh and said, "Mo Xiao means to pay taxes, right? This is indeed a good idea. In the future, collecting taxes at the city gate will become simple. We just need to take out some of the materials collected by the scavenging team from the backpack, put them in the [box] and transport them to the villa. This will greatly improve our efficiency. Mo Xiao's suggestion is really good!"
Li Moxiao looked confused: "Uh... yes, that's what I meant!"
Shen Jin imagined in his mind the future Home Base No. 1, where everyone was equipped with a three-piece set of craftsman spirit equipment and went out for exploration. My goodness... that was really a swarm of locusts!
Shen Jin had no doubt that these people would definitely dismantle everything that could be taken away from outside, put it in their backpacks and bring it back...
Tin house? It doesn't exist. In my eyes, it's just a pile of [iron ingots]. Reinforced concrete building? It doesn't exist either. It's [cement] + [steel]. Park? It doesn't exist at all. It's [stone bricks] + [logs] + [flowers]. Shen Jin thought that in the future, except for the No. 1 home base, the outside will be bare, and he felt inexplicably festive. "So, you all think this ability can be promoted, right?"
Shang Qian: “Yes!”
Yang Ao: “Yes!”
Li Moxiao: "Ababa~!"
Li Moxiao didn't know what use this ability would be after it was promoted, anyway... he would just follow along for a while, because he would have to take Miao Shubai, the little loli, to play games later.
Shang Qian added: "Of course, before the promotion... we still need to do a lot of preparation work and link it with my previous resumption of work and production plan!"
"Brother Jin, didn't you say there were a few more pieces of equipment? Why don't we make them and see if there are any other special features?"
Yang Ao was more concerned about the more equipment that Shen Jin mentioned. He had always wanted a special weapon, preferably... different from all the others, it had to be special to highlight his status as the second in command.
He is now using the [Diamond Sword] given by Shen Jin. Although it is extremely sharp, but... he is wearing the same sword as Shen Jin.
"Yes, there are several other special equipment. Although they are not as powerful as these three, they are also somewhat useful!"
Shen Jin spent [Leather × 3], [Glass × 2], and [Gold Ingot × 2] to make [Traveler Goggles]. "After wearing this, in addition to protecting your eyes, you can also adjust the focal length to see distant objects, just like a telescope, with a focal length of about 8 times!"
Several people took turns trying it, feeling the longer field of vision, "Not bad!"
"magic!"
"amazing!" It was difficult for Li Moxiao to find an adjective in his limited English vocabulary.
Shen Jin spent [Leather × 6], [Thread × 2], and [Aluminum Ingot × 1] to make [Traveler Boots]. "This can slightly increase jumping ability. In the future, it can be strengthened with some items to gain the ability to bounce, hop, and walk on water..."
Yang Ao tried it on and said, "It's really good. When I jump, I feel a force under my feet, pushing me to jump higher!"
Shang Qian and Li Moxiao refused to try on the boots taken off by two smelly men.
Shen Jin continued to make the [Traveler Vest] and found that it was just an ordinary leather armor. Apart from being very warm to wear, it had nothing magical about it.
However, Shen Jin's favorite [Traveler's Wings] in the game before could not be manufactured for the time being. Its synthesis formula required [Ender Pearl]. Shen Jin had never seen a creature like [Enderman], so naturally he did not get this drop.
"That's the basic situation. These are the common equipment I can make at the moment . For more tools, weapons, and armor... I need to make a [Smelting Furnace] first."
"Smelting furnace?"
Shang Qian, Yang Ao and Li Moxiao all looked confused.
