There was a very thick cedar tree nearby.
Wang Yu came before that cedar tree, which was over 60 centimeters thick. He inserted the pine oil collector into the cedar tree, then used his entrenching tool to hammer it in and secure it firmly.
This item could collect pine oil, which meant it could provide him with a steady and reliable source of fuel, solving his lighting problem.
This was fantastic news.
Wang Yu opened the chat channel; he wanted to see if other players had also triggered the drop of a pine oil collector.
Upon opening the chat channel, he saw the players inside discussing the pine oil collector. It turned out that all the players who had chopped down pine trees today had received a pine oil collector.
[Chopping pine trees can drop a pine oil collector, everyone go chop pine trees quickly.]
[I woke up this morning and chopped down a cedar tree, and it dropped a pine oil collector. I thought I was the chosen one, but it turns out everyone got one.]
[Chopping one pine tree drops one pine oil collector. I wonder if continuing to chop pine trees will drop more? One pine oil collector is simply not enough.]
[Chopping trees drops items, I wonder if chiseling stones can also drop items? I chose the hammer and chisel.]
Seeing that other players had also received a pine oil collector, Wang Yu understood that it wasn't just his good luck that had yielded the item.
Since that was the case, Wang Yu closed the chat channel.
Afterward, Wang Yu went to the felled cedar tree and began to clear away its branches, which were quite dense.
He used his small hacksaw to saw off the branches one by one; this took even longer than felling the cedar tree itself.
After the branches were cleared, only a bare cedar trunk remained. Wang Yu measured it with his measuring tool and found the trunk was over seven meters long.
After resting for a while, Wang Yu continued chopping trees. He found another cedar tree over 20 centimeters thick and continued to fell the big tree with his small hacksaw.
Using the small hacksaw to fell trees was not only fast but also labor-saving.
After felling the cedar, Wang Yu once again cleared the branches one by one.
By one PM, Wang Yu had felled three cedar trees and obtained three cedar trunks. It was time for lunch, so he prepared to roast two skewers of water snail meat and some berries.
After finishing lunch, he drank some boiled water several times.
In the afternoon, Wang Yu continued to chop trees.
He went to the forest, but in the afternoon, he didn't chop the cedar trees that were over 20 centimeters thick. Instead, he found cedar trees that were 10 centimeters thick and chopped those.
These 10-centimeter-thick cedar trees were much easier to saw than the 20-centimeter-thick ones.
Wang Yu used the small hacksaw to fell the cedar tree in just a few moments, then proceeded to clear the branches. After clearing them, Wang Yu measured the length of the trunk, which was over seven meters long.
Next, Wang Yu sawed another 10-centimeter-thick cedar tree and cleared its branches as well.
Checking the time, it was past three PM. Wang Yu returned to the cedar tree that was over 60 centimeters thick and saw that the pine oil collector had already gathered seven or eight milliliters of pine oil.
Now, he could use the dice to increase the quantity of items again.
Nothing was more important to him right now than fuel, so Wang Yu decided to use the dice to increase the quantity of pine oil collectors.
He took down the pine oil collector and opened his right hand. A die the size of an egg appeared in his palm. He thought to himself, Increase the quantity of this pine oil collector.
Following this, Wang Yu felt the pine oil collector in his hand lock into place, and he immediately threw the die in his right hand.
The die instantly hovered and began to spin.
A moment later, the die stopped.
Three.
Wang Yu had rolled a three.
At this moment, three light balls appeared above the die, representing the phantoms of three pine oil collectors.
Following Wang Yu's intent, three pine oil collectors appeared on the ground.
Wang Yu picked up the three pine oil collectors, bringing his total to four.
Afterward, Wang Yu inserted all four pine oil collectors into the cedar tree that was over 60 centimeters thick.
Having finished everything, Wang Yu returned to the area where he had been chopping trees.
That morning, he had chopped three cedar trees over 20 centimeters thick, and in the afternoon, he had chopped two cedar trees that were 10 centimeters thick, totaling five cedar trees.
Now that he had enough cedar wood, he needed to start processing it.
First, Wang Yu needed to cut all five cedar trees into sections.
For the three cedar trees that were over 20 centimeters thick and over 11 meters long, Wang Yu used the small hacksaw to cut each one into three large logs, each 3.04 meters long.
Wang Yu sawed out a total of nine large logs that were 3.04 meters long.
For the two cedar trees that were 10 centimeters thick and over seven meters long, Wang Yu sawed each one into a large log 5.45 meters long.
In total, there were two large logs that were 5.45 meters long.
After sawing, he had 11 large logs.
Subsequently, Wang Yu used his entrenching tool to strip the bark off all 11 large logs.
He took one of the 5.45-meter-long large logs and placed it into the fire pit to burn. Of course, he only burned the surface of the large log; this was to carbonize it.
Carbonizing one large log was simple. Next, Wang Yu's main task was to process the nine large logs that were 3.04 meters long.
After arranging the large logs, Wang Yu took out the prepared "black line." This black line was made of fine vines and charcoal ash mixed with water to turn it black. This black line could mark a straight black line on the large logs.
Wang Yu needed to process the large logs into wooden planks.
To "deluxe decorate" his shelter, he had to use standard large wooden planks. Once he marked the black straight line on the large logs with the black line, he could saw the large logs into standard large wooden blocks.
Wang Yu took out the black line, fixed it at one end of a large log, measured the width with his measuring tool, pulled the black line taut to the other end of the log, and snapped it against the wood, which marked a straight black line on the large log.
After marking several black lines on the large log, Wang Yu picked up the small hacksaw and sawed along the black lines.
For each large log, Wang Yu performed the simplest processing, turning it into two large wooden planks that were 20 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters thick.
After working for several hours, Wang Yu had processed the nine large logs into 18 large wooden planks.
These large wooden planks were all a standard 20 centimeters wide and 10 centimeters thick.
Afterward, Wang Yu moved the 18 large wooden planks one by one to the open space outside the shelter. He also moved the carbonized large log and the one that hadn't been carbonized outside the shelter.
By the time he finished everything, it was past eight PM.
It was time for dinner. That evening, Wang Yu ate two skewers of roasted water snail meat. Since he had only used the dice to increase the quantity of water snail meat, he could only eat that.
