Glass

The Awakened Ones who came to support the Hunters left on bad terms.

At the last gathering at the Lord's Manor, Suo Mu Jin, representing the radicals, launched an attack on Anrui, which can be considered his first victory.

This time, taking advantage of the information gap surrounding the Devil Beast attack, Anrui, representing the conservatives, successfully criticized Suo Mu Jin's Ignorance.

Both players have one win and one loss, and each also has their own fans in the town.

The current situation in the Border Town is a microcosm of this win and loss, and it seems to be maintaining a superficial stalemate.

"But how long can this situation last..."

Both groups of people and the rescued hunters were seen returning home.

Linsey remained alone in the forest, breathing in the cold air that felt as if she hadn't left yet, and sighed softly.

He didn't go back to town afterward, but instead went deeper into the woods.

Linsey is a thrifty person.

Using his Map Skill, he knew that all the Devil Beast had left.

While it was still relatively safe, he wanted to retrieve the Armor-Piercing Arrow he had just fired, and also collect materials from the spiders.

It took two hours to go back and forth.

Linsey, having completed the recycling work, finally returned to the cabin.

He took off his coat, which had become wet from his time in the forest, lit a fire to dry his clothes, and then laid out his harvest in front of him.

First, there are the experience points you get for completing tasks.

This mission is simple, so the rewards are small and it's not possible to upgrade a certain attribute or skill all at once.

Linsey simply didn't use it.

Instead, we preserve our experience for future emergencies.

After all, there are precedents of accumulating experience in daily life, whether in novels or games.

When we encounter an enemy we can't defeat someday.

When the time comes, he can use his accumulated experience to suddenly level up, which will always give the other party a pleasant surprise.

"And then, these are the things."

"One Spider Compound Eye, two Spider Poison Sac, three Spider Poison Fang, and six Spider Silk."

"These Corrupted Poison Spider are quite productive."

Linsey shrugged and tried placing the four materials on the Workbench.

Spider Poison Sac can inflict poison wounds on weapons or arrows; Spider Poison Fang can be used to make daggers; Spider Silk can be made into brocade—all simple and straightforward materials to use.

The compound Spider Compound Eye are unique.

The corresponding synthesis formula was not displayed on the Workbench.

Linsey switched templates and checked the attributes on the product page to confirm that this item was also a type of material.

However, it's not used for crafting equipment, but for crafting potions! "Crafting potions..."

Linsey stroked her chin, lost in thought.

He remembered what he had seen in the crafting recipe, so he put the log into the crafting Workbench and began searching for the items from his memory.

Linsey quickly found her goal.

[1 Wood + 1 Glass Bottle + 1 Iron Ingot + 1 Water = Alchemy Potion Workbench]

"I knew it would be fine!"

Linsey clapped her hands. Now, all that's missing to make this thing is a Glass Bottle.

Linsey also had an idea for Glass Bottle.

Because there is a formula for crafting items from stones.

6 bricks + 8 stones + 4 planks + 1 campfire = Glass Furnace

Linsey immediately crafted a Glass Furnace on the Workbench.

The remaining task is to collect sand, Smelting into glass, and then directly make Glass Bottle on the Workbench.

"So I'm going to dig some sand now..."

Linsey murmured softly.

He turned and went into the study, where he found topographical data on the Hidden Borderlands.

Data about the river was recorded in Linsey's notebook, and the corresponding search plan was also conceived in his mind.

In a natural environment, there would be no ocean or desert.

Sand can also be found along rivers, lakes, streams, or other bodies of water, because sand is formed by the accumulation of mineral particles carried by water.

In addition, sand may also exist in some mountainous landforms, such as hillsides and foothills, especially in areas with cliff erosion.

Overall, this is not a particularly difficult task.

Having made her plans, Linsey was in a good mood.

Then he saw the Glass Greenhouse next to him, and a new idea popped into his head.

The Glass Greenhouse also needs some repairs.

Linsey wasn't sure how long the Glass Greenhouse had been there.

However, despite Finn's careful maintenance over the past thirteen years, problems have inevitably arisen in some areas.

He's going to bring back a lot more sand this time.

Once the glass is fired, he will be able to repair the Glass Greenhouse that he has maintained for ten years.

"If Teacher Finn were still here, he would be very happy."

Linsey murmured softly as she left the house.

As he was leaving, he heard Xuan Cao flapping her wings in the chicken coop. So he imitated the grouse's call and made a couple of random calls to the little guy in the coop, leaving the little guy completely bewildered and forgetting to flap his wings.

Then, Linsey felt even better.

He wanted to take advantage of the day to finish collecting sand and making glass at the same time.

After all, two hunters had just died in the town.

Regardless of Linsey's mood.

Tomorrow or the day after, as a member of the School of Death, he will probably have other work to do.

Around noon, Linsey left the town.

Although it is already winter, the streams in the forest have not yet frozen.

The first stream, nestled in a coniferous forest with towering pines and firs on its banks, had a gentle, clear flow, but Linsey couldn't find the sand she wanted.

On the contrary, the two Squirrel by the river were in big trouble.

They were caught and used as prey by Linsey, who had stopped hunting in the morning.

The second stream was nestled among several deciduous broad trees. Linsey searched along the stream's flow for quite some time, but still found nothing.

When they reached the third stream, luck finally smiled upon them.

A clear stream flows past the foot of a mountain.

At a sharp bend in the river, Linsey scooped up a pile of sand mixed with silt from the damp riverbank.

"Hahaha!"

"Then I won't stand on ceremony!"

Linsey was overjoyed and immediately got to work by the river.

He shoveled away, one shovelful at a time, and the corresponding clods of sand disappeared into his bag.

He finally stopped what he was doing when Linsey had filled all the space in his Personal Baggage.

By this time, it was already evening.

Linsey walked home with her purchases full, and then she thought about what had happened that morning.

This kind of conflict that arises between people is just a headache.

"If only things in the world could be as simple as in a video game..."

"That's not right either, that might make things even more complicated!"

Linsey quickly dismissed her own opinion.

But following this line of thought, he remembered some strategy games he had played before, especially those from the company whose name started with P.

"If internal conflicts have escalated to a rather intense level, how can we alleviate this problem?"

Linsey's mind opened up, and she immediately came up with an idea.

A smile involuntarily crept onto his lips, "We definitely need to discuss this with Uncle Anrui."
