Unexpected Discovery

Compared to the quiet and peaceful Blacksmith, the Village Library next door was filled with all sorts of noises from the Villagers.

The sounds made by the Villagers were basically the same, but the frequency and timing of each Villager's vocalizations differed, and when they gathered together, they frequently emitted that rather annoying, noisy clamor.

It was hard to imagine that even after transforming into a real world, such sounds had not diminished in the slightest.

It was under these circumstances that Yinsen was silently tapping away at that row of bookshelves.

The treasures of the library were those books; in the early stages, before they had started livestock farming, obtaining books was generally very difficult.

And the village was a place where they could obtain a large number of books, which was exactly why Fang Bie had given Yinsen repeated instructions.

True to the hands that once held a scalpel, in a village guarded by an Iron Golem, Yinsen used a wooden axe to chop all the bookshelves into scattered books without touching a single Villager, successfully returning to the Blacksmith.

At this moment, Fang Bie had just finished knocking down the two Furnaces outside the Blacksmith; he had once seen some guides claiming that good things might be hidden behind Furnaces.

However, he had knocked down countless Furnaces in the game, yet he had never encountered anything; he didn't know which bad actor had told him that rumor, and this time, it was obviously empty as well.

He didn't feel frustrated; carrying several water buckets, he swept away the Lava next to the Blacksmith, and the originally scorching air suddenly lost its source, while cool breezes began to blow in.

"Fang Bie, come over and take a look, is this what you called a diamond?" Because Fang Bie was busy, Yinsen chose not to disturb him, instead walking into the Blacksmith to be the first to look through the items in the chest.

Opening such chests gave one a special sense of treasure hunting; Fang Bie was no longer surprised by this feeling, but his companion was still a complete novice, so he still felt it was very fresh.

"Diamond??? Bring it here and let me see?" Fang Bie's originally calm expression seemed to be stimulated, and he hurriedly raised his head; this ultimate material of the initial world could still pique some of his interest.

Right in Yinsen's hand, a pale blue stone the size of a goose egg was slowly glowing; it was similar in size to an ordinary iron ingot, but it possessed a beauty and brilliance that those common minerals could never reach.

Fang Bie gently took it, and a screen flashed before him, as if fireworks were flickering, "Congratulations on achieving the achievement--A Diamond Shining in the Darkness!"

"I didn't expect there to be an achievement for this," Fang Bie smiled and shook his head, not taking the matter to heart.

In the game, such an achievement was merely a milestone marker; apart from beginners, most veteran players didn't actually take this achievement to heart.

The achievement wouldn't give him anything; it just told him that he had reached such a critical point. After Fang Bie glanced at the diamond, he returned it to Yinsen, who was studying the crafting book.

He was the one who was truly excited; the book explained in great detail that this diamond was the hardest mineral in the universe they were currently in, possessing the most powerful combat capability and the fastest mining speed.

Therefore, although there were only two diamonds, he still couldn't put them down, and he didn't notice his companion, whose gaze had suddenly become somewhat profound.

Fang Bie opened the chest again at this time and saw the items inside that were different from the diamond.

Besides the empty spot where the diamond had been placed, there were other things in the chest.

"Iron sword, iron pickaxe, iron armor... all very common things..." Fang Bie muttered to himself while putting these items into his backpack.

Until he took out an object from the bottom slot, something that looked small, with only a tiny tip poking out.

Fang Bie didn't notice it at first and was about to subconsciously put this little trinket into his backpack, but then he suddenly realized what it was and turned his head sharply to stare at it.

This little thing didn't look like much, just like an ordinary seed, except it looked more like a Bamboo Shoot.

Information about this item had already appeared in Fang Bie's eyes; that's right, it was a Bamboo Shoot!

A Bamboo Shoot certainly wouldn't have anything too noteworthy; if he had only seen it in reality, the young man would have at most glanced at it and moved on, so how could he have this current expression?

Fang Bie's memory, which had become exceptionally clear since arriving in this world, was spinning at high speed at this moment, searching for that piece of information from his dusty mind.

"Bamboo Shoot, from the mod [Japanese Style Mod], is a life-type item similar to Food Craft."

Fang Bie felt as if he were watching a recording, and such a message gradually appeared in his mind, while another object in his hand made his originally blurry memory even clearer.

What he held in his hand was the last item in the chest, looking like a rolled-up scroll, and its name was also very simple, [Ancient Scroll].

This scroll was actually nothing special, but its native mod would make one's spirit soar.

It came from the mod [Last Sword Smith Mod], and this mod was an expansion for [Slash Blade Mod], which meant that the moment Fang Bie discovered this item, the world already possessed the ability to produce Slash Blade!

Fang Bie's somewhat rapid breathing finally calmed down under his long-practiced breathing techniques; the appearance of such an event made his previously firm belief even more resolute.

"I knew this world couldn't be a simple primitive world; with Slash Blade here, can Twilight Forest be far behind?" A faint smile appeared on Fang Bie's face as he carefully placed the scroll into his backpack.

Ancient Scrolls had almost no possibility of being produced and could only be found through Village Temples and various secret realms; this scroll was a necessary item for crafting an Oodachi, so he really should keep it well.

Fang Bie was no longer prepared to go into the water to look; there was a chance that a chest buried under the well would spawn in the Well, but this probability was almost non-existent, just like the hidden area behind the Furnace, merely some rumors.

"Let's go, let's find a place to settle down first." Their business was, of course, far from over; Fang Bie also planned to put all the Villagers into one house and, by the way, harvest all the farmland in the village.

This place itself was a very suitable place to live; as long as they arranged all these annoying Villagers into other areas, they would have a quiet and spacious village and six plots of farmland that had already been planted with crops, needing only to wait for the harvest.

This was what a true "three-all" player should do; it was getting late, and they should settle down.

(Japanese Style Mod is actually a very interesting mod; at least the furniture problem has been solved.)

ps: Why do other authors' readers have infinite creative ideas waiting for them to copy, while my readers only know how to pick bugs in my book? [Throws table]

I have seen the suggestions you all made in the chapter comments and will consider them accordingly; of course, the outline will not be changed. Is there really no chapter comment I can copy? [Laughs]
