After she finished speaking, apart from Qiu Shuyu nodding to indicate that she understood, Liu Xuangang and Xiao Yunjie were both stunned in place, especially Xiao Yunjie —the calm and composed Madam Xiao, who would not change her expression even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of her, now widened her deep black eyes.
It turns out that Song Xiaozhu stopped making things not because she needed to restore her Force, but because she didn't have enough wood.
Liu Xuangang snapped out of his daze and said, "I'll go arrange it right away. Miss Qiu, come with me."
Song Xiaozhu then instructed, "There's still a lot of timber in the shop's warehouse. Could you please have Village Chief Liu arrange for it to be delivered first?"
Liu Xuangang: "Okay, okay."
Xiao Yunjie also came to her senses, and she added, " Xuangang, find the personal guards."
Liu Xuangang: "Understood!"
Song Xiaozhu looked at Xiao Yunjie and smiled at her.
I love dealing with intelligent people; they can understand the subtle meaning behind a sentence, saving me the trouble of explaining.
Song Xiaozhu skipped the mining step and directly placed the Workbench on the spot to synthesize the items, all to "avoid attracting attention."
If someone were to actually try to excavate such an iron ore wall, it would inevitably involve a massive undertaking.
Even if the people of Liu Family Village were united, they couldn't prevent gossip from spreading. If word got out, it would cause a lot of trouble. Especially given the strained relationship between Old Madam Hu and Xiao Yunjie, Song Xiaozhu didn't believe Old Madam Hu wouldn't have planted spies.
In these turbulent times, it's best to avoid as much trouble as possible.
I'm annoyed.
Xiao Yunjie saw her concerns, which is why she instructed Liu Xuangang to find members of the personal guard to be in charge of transporting the timber.
No sooner had Liu Xuangang and Qiu Shuyu left than the guards came down with timber, accompanied by Tian Man, who had come down to check on the situation out of concern.
Song Xiaozhu briefly explained the situation to him, then added, "Go get busy at the shop. Sister Shuyu and I haven't had time to go over these past few days."
Tian Man was also shaken by the iron ore wall. It took him a while to recover before he replied, "Okay!"
Once the timber arrived, Song Xiaozhu began synthesizing it rapidly again.
Xiao Yunjie had her personal guards stand watch up there, ensuring that no one else could see Song Xiaozhu's "production process."
This scene was so shocking that even she and Liu Xuangang, as Awakened, could barely accept it; ordinary people would probably question their existence if they saw it.
Besides, she needs to protect Song Xiaozhu; the fewer people who know, the safer she is.
Song Xiaozhu had stockpiled a lot of timber, and since the demand for [ Raw Wood Material ] for steel knives was very low, she made another 100 steel knives in the blink of an eye.
Xiao Yunjie was completely stunned. At this moment, she recalled Qiu Shuyu's words, " Xiaozhu has extremely high talent."
The word "extreme" is too subtle.
After synthesizing 500 steel knives, Song Xiaozhu paused for a moment.
Xiao Yunjie kept staring at her, wanting to ask if she needed to rest, but then felt she was worrying unnecessarily; Miss Song didn't need to rest at all.
Song Xiaozhu paused because something special fell down from the crumbling iron ore, and a notification sound rang in her ears at just the right moment, "Corresponding recipe not unlocked. Perform Random Synthesis?"
The Workbench was in the pit, and she had her back to Xiao Yunjie, so only she could see the floating stone.
This is a warm white stone, about the size of a fist, oval in shape, emanating a thin mist, like an ice ball just taken out of the freezer. Of course, it is not transparent, but milky white.
Awakening Stone...
Even though Song Xiaozhu had never seen this thing before, she recognized it immediately.
This white mist was all too familiar; it was the physical manifestation of the Force.
Considering Fan Cang's needs, there is no doubt that what is buried deep in the iron ore wall is the Awakening Stone that everyone dreams of.
Song Xiaozhu was not surprised by the content of the notification sound.
There will definitely be recipes that require Awakening Stone as materials in the future. As the most magical item in this world, it would be strange if the Synthesizer didn't need it.
Of course, given the Synthesizer's current level, it's unnecessary; it can only be used for Random Synthesis. Using rare Awakening Stone for Random Synthesis?
To be honest, Song Xiaozhu was actually itching to try it.
She quietly put the Awakening Stone into a small box without letting anyone notice.
Fan Cang's requirement for Liu Xuangang was to excavate iron ore and deliver Awakening Stone.
But how many Awakening Stone are there exactly...?
Presumably, even Young Master Fan is unaware of this, otherwise it wouldn't be a vague "hand over," but rather a clearly defined amount.
Since no one knows how many Awakening Stone are hidden here, it wouldn't be a problem for her to keep a few...
If this thing were left with Liu Xuangang and Xiao Yunjie, it would most likely be detected by the tycoon's people, but if it were placed in a small box, Song Xiaozhu was confident that no one would find it.
All of this happened in an instant. Just as Song Xiaozhu put away the Awakening Stone, a notification sound suddenly rang out, "Mission Progress: Energy Stone *1 collected."
Song Xiaozhu: "?"
She realized it quickly.
It's Awakening Stone!
Song Xiaozhu opened the task list and found that the third Repair Quest had changed - Energy Stone: 1/10.
What people call the Awakening Stone is actually called the Energy Stone in the Synthesizer.
This Repair Quest requires 10 Awakening Stone! It's a real money pit!
Song Xiaozhu originally only wanted to secretly keep a few Awakening Stone, but now...
Hopefully, there are at least 10 Awakening Stone beneath this Earth Temple!
Song Xiaozhu composed herself and continued making the steel knife.
Song Xiaozhu's biggest problem right now is that she doesn't have enough small boxes.
The small box has far too few storage slots, which seriously affects her synthesis efficiency. In particular, Awakening Stone cannot be stacked. If she gets a few more, the small box will be even more stretched.
Song Xiaozhu opened the recipe for " Sturdy Storage Box ". The required materials [ Iron Raw Material ] were not a problem, but the amount of Quantum Coin was too large.
Where did she get 50 Quantum Coin?
Unless Growth Quest 6 is completed...
