Preparing to Make the Synthesis Station

While making the tools, Xu Xin also saw a special table in the production list.

[Basic Appraisal Desk (white): When materials are placed on it, they will emit a light of the same color as their grade after 10 seconds. It can be used to appraise the grade of the obtained items. Materials required: wood (white)*20, stone (white)*20]

It seemed that the survivors without his Item Identification ability could still find out the grade of materials through the appraisal desk.

However, the appraisal desk was only as big as a dining table, and it couldn't possibly be carried around. Therefore, the other survivors could only bring the materials back to the treehouse for identification after obtaining them, unlike him, who could see their grades at a glance and even selectively collect the materials.

The difference in efficiency was huge. For example, Xu Xin could even see the blue light of some of the resources, such as the mushrooms that were hidden deep in the forest, from far away, but it was difficult for the other survivors to find them.

It seemed that the Creator's Authority was truly a treasure.

Of course, he couldn't rule out the possibility that everyone else had the same ability as him, but the possibility shouldn't be very high. After all, if such a bug really appeared, then they wouldn't be survivors, but travelers. Everyone could just travel happily together.

Holding the stone axe, Xu Xin left the treehouse again. This time, he had to gather 20 pieces of wood (green).

Green-grade trees were very common. At a glance, the whole place was filled with white poplars (green). Xu Xin thought for a moment and decided to start clearing the area from the bottom of his treehouse.

The treehouse's canopy covered an area of more than 100 square meters, so these plants were in the shadow of the canopy. As such, not only did they look strange and squeezed together, but they were also unable to get sunlight, so it was better to just cut them down.

Waving his stone ax, Xu Xin began to clean up the surroundings. Surprisingly, the seemingly blunt ax could effortlessly chop down trees. It only took five slashes to cut down a white poplar (white), while ten slashes were needed to cut down a green-grade one.

After a tree was cut down, it would automatically break into several pieces, usually four to five pieces. As such, to gather 50 pieces of wood (green), he would have to cut at least 10 white poplars (green).

For others, it would probably take them a long time to gather so much green-grade wood, but for Xu Xin, it was just easy. The green lights around him made him want to laugh.

However, without a backpack-like item, moving the wood was a big problem. A piece of wood was huge, so Xu Xin could only move them up to his treehouse piece by piece slowly. After a long time, he finally gathered 50 pieces of wood (green).

At this time, the sky was already suffused with the red sunset. He had been working the entire afternoon.

"I'm so tired. This is so inefficient..." Xu Xin sat on the floor of the third floor of the treehouse.

Other than wood (green), he also brought up a lot of wood (white). After all, he had been clearing up the space under the treehouse, so he cut down the white-grade trees as well.

Most importantly, he wanted to use the wood (white) to make some furniture, such as tables, chairs, beds, and so on. The treehouse was just too empty.

After choosing the furniture that he wanted to make and setting the material as wood (white), Xu Xin's treehouse soon had its first batch of furniture.

[Wooden Table (white): A simple table. It can barely carry some things, but those things better not be too heavy. It'll break easily.]

[Wooden Chair (white): A simple chair. If you weigh more than 90 kilograms, just burn it as firewood.]

[Wooden Bed (white): A simple bed. The only difference between sleeping on it and sleeping on the ground is that there will be creaking sounds, causing you to be unable to sleep well.]

Xu Xin was speechless.

He sat on the wooden bed, and the bed made a creaking sound that made his teeth ache.

The new batch of furniture was extremely simple and crude. Xu Xin shook his head helplessly. However, he had no choice but to make do with it for now. He really did not have the habit of sleeping on the floor. He always felt insecure when he slept on the floor, feeling that there would be little things around him that would climb onto him, causing him to be unable to rest well. He had to endure it back at the black bears' cave, but now that he had a bed, it was better to sleep on the bed.

Xu Xin sat on the chair, munching on a freshly picked apple as dinner. Although there were fish and shrimp in the lake, he had no way to catch them, nor did he have the ability to start a fire. As for drilling wood to start a fire, it was out of the question. He might as well save some energy and do something else.

As for the water and bread that had come with the treehouse, he planned to store them since they were all sealed and had a long shelf life.

"I should be able to make a fire or a fireplace with the Synthesis Station," Xu Xin thought about it for a moment and felt that he should try his best to get the Synthesis Station ready. The novice protection period was not over yet, and there were no dangerous animals in the jungle, so he did not have to be on guard. It was a good time to collect materials.

Looking at the dark sky outside, Xu Xin took out a big red berry.

[Big Red Berry (blue): A fruit that can be eaten raw. It tastes sweet and sour and has the effect of improving eyesight. Eating it will give you two hours of night vision.]

It came in handy.

After eating a big red berry, Xu Xin suddenly felt a cool sensation around his eyes. Looking out the window, the surroundings that he originally couldn't see clearly in the dark were now as clear as day.

Although the trees and plants under the treehouse had yet to be totally cleared away, Xu Xin did not plan to continue. He went to the lakeside and the stream to find some cobblestones (green) or stones (green) to build the Synthesis Station.

He carefully walked along the stream and picked up some cobblestones. He hadn't seen any large green-grade stones so far, and the stone pick he had brought along was yet to be put to good use.

Soon, his pocket was full. Xu Ke took off his t-shirt like before and used it as a bag to carry the cobblestones. Although the t-shirt was a beginner's outfit, the quality was really good.

Soon, Xu Xin reached the black bear cave where he had stayed the night before. Last time, it was dark at night and he had left in a hurry during the day, so he didn't observe it much. This time, he decided to go in and take a look.

[Black Bears' Cave (green): The habitat of black bears. Extremely ferocious black bears once lived here, but recently, a mysterious force has caused the black bears to disappear.]

Xu Xin walked to the front of the black bears' cave and put the cobblestones down.He then looked into the cave.

The cave didn't look big, but Xu Xin could hear the faint sound of the wind blowing from the cave when he had been sleeping in there last night. There must be hidden holes or something.

Looking around, he didn't find anything good, which disappointed him. The black bears' cave was of the green grade, so why was there nothing here?

Could it be...

Xu Xin touched the walls of the cave.

To verify his guess, he used the stone pick to hit a protruding rock in the cave.

"Bang!"

There was a feeling of mining! Xu Xin was overjoyed.

He swung the stone pick 10 times in a row, and the entire protruding rock exploded, scattering into a pile of stones.

[Stone (green): The stones in the cave are harder than ordinary stones.]

Yes, he had found a source for green-grade stones!

However, this place was a little far from the treehouse, and there would be black bears after the novice protection period ended.
