Chapter 20 Iron! With the Wandering Merchant
For this resource, Suhe ordered the monster laborers to continue digging deeper.
Before long, they found the second mine.
They forged the smelted iron into iron pickaxes and distributed them to the monsters under their command.
The entire process of exploring the mine, plus my own development experience after coming to this world.
Su He always felt like he was going back in time, starting Minecraft from scratch, and updating it as he played.
Each stage has its own tasks, and once the problems in one stage are resolved, the next stage can be moved on automatically.
During gameplay, you can even acquire materials that don't belong to this stage in advance, allowing you to craft items that, while not belonging to this stage, will be of great use to you.
For example, before Su He even had a beacon, he obtained iron ingots through quests and zombie drops, and crafted an iron bucket and a shield, both of which were extremely useful to him in the early game.
This kind of minor truancy, which hardly qualifies as skipping class, greatly enhances the player's gaming experience.
If the world he lives in isn't real, but rather a giant modpack, he would definitely be a loyal player of that modpack.
"Another low-level zombie."
Su He shook his head. Ever since he put on this accessory that could see the aptitude of monsters, he felt that he might not be wearing an accessory at all, but rather some kind of tinted glasses.
"Sizzle!"
Little Green's cries drew his attention, and Su He led the newly contracted zombie toward the source of the sound.
Before I could even see Little Green, I saw a glimmer of light.
His mining team had never been to this area before, and there were no torches lit by humans. The most likely source of light in the mine was... lava.
"Finally found it."
He took the workbench out of his backpack and placed it aside, then made several iron buckets and filled them all with lava.
This lava lake is not small; it is of medium size.
With this lava present, the next time monsters from the outside invade the Suhe defense line, they will no longer face safe and harmless water.
Once the lava is obtained, the mining trip is considered a complete success.
There are still many things waiting to be developed on the surface. Just as Su He was returning from the underground mine, a melodious sound of a musical instrument suddenly entered his ears.
Why are there musical instrument sounds coming from underground?
With doubts in his heart, Su He followed the sound of the musical instruments.
A skeleton dressed in a leather coat and holding a small birchwood guitar sat on the ground of a mine tunnel dug by the zombies. In front of it was a leather blanket with many small items for sale.
However, the music of the Skull Ball was so beautiful that it immediately drew Su He's attention away from the items.
Although Little White doesn't have fingers, every note it produces when playing its instrument is absolutely perfect.
Little Green shook its head, making a smile-like expression on its face. It and Su He became Little White's good listeners.
After the song ended, both the human and the monster looked somewhat unsatisfied. Seeing that Xiaobai had stopped playing the piano and was looking at him, Su He made a kind joke to it.
"You're from a musical family?"
The musician Xiaobai was clearly a bit confused by the joke.
It pointed to the items in front of it and looked at Su He, as if to say, "Guest from afar, is there anything you wish to obtain?"
Su He smiled at the invitation from the musician Skull.
In fact, he knew about the little white creature from the very first moment he saw it.
[Target: The Wandering Skeleton Merchant]
Occupation: Bard
[Alliance: Good]
[Qualifications: Excellent]
[Level: 2]
[HP: 40/40]
[Introduction: This is a wandering skeleton merchant. You can choose to trade with him or plunder him, but I don't recommend doing so.]
This little white creature was not only the first wandering merchant Su He had ever met, but also the first monster with a profession he had ever seen.
"So the wandering merchant that the beacon was talking about wasn't just the village merchant from the original game."
Su He stroked his chin, opened the trading page with the novice merchant, and discovered that the main trading currency was emeralds, just like in the original Minecraft.
However, he currently has no emeralds, so the first step in making a deal is to exchange some emeralds from this merchant.
The novice merchant mainly buys bones, some special bone items, and some magical artifacts.
He always carried a lot of bones in his backpack. After trading a certain number, the merchant Xiaobai waved his hand, indicating that he no longer wanted them.
Looking at the 20 emeralds he had acquired in the transaction, Su He felt a little unwilling, as the little white merchant had many good items.
Twenty emeralds were not enough to buy everything he wanted.
But he was indeed unable to trade any emeralds with Xiaobai.
Would you buy this kind of bone?
With a try-it-out mentality, Su He took out the bones dropped by the skeletons outside from his backpack and handed them to Xiaobai.
After examining the bone for a while, Xiaobai nodded to him.
After handing over all the external bones in his backpack to it at once, the little white merchant only took a small portion and gave Su He 40 emeralds.
Seeing the customer's expression that he wanted to make more money, Xiaobai shook his head and put his hands into his tattered pockets, pulling out two empty pockets.
Since even novice merchants are doing this, I have no choice but to shift my focus to those products as well.
Enchanted bows, arrows, golden apples, potions of strength, potions of recovery, potions of swiftness...
There are so many good things here that Su He is having a hard time choosing.
"Bone Ring, which can increase your digging speed, costs 20 emeralds."
"A four-leaf clover can bring you a little luck. It costs 10 emeralds."
"The Sea's Blessing II fishing rod, how come such a good item is even available for sale? It costs 40 emeralds."
It has to be said that the products sold by these novice merchants are a bit too good.
Its wealth is so great that it could give rise to some bad thoughts among Minecraft players.
To be honest, Su He was also a little tempted by these items, but he wasn't playing a game, and he had to consider the consequences of his actions to a great extent.
After careful selection, he finally chose an enchanted fishing rod, a four-leaf clover, and two bottles of recovery potions.
The 60 emeralds were back in the skeleton merchant's pocket, and Su He tried to trade them back.
But Xiaobai firmly refused.
Perhaps unwilling to see the guest's disappointed expression, Xiaobai hesitated for a moment before taking out a golden bone badge from under the leather blanket and handing it to Su He.
[Obtain Special Item: Badge of the Wandering Skeleton Family]
You are now an important friend to the wandering merchant!
[Effect: Increases the probability of the Wandering Skeleton Merchant appearing]
[Achievement: Proof of Friendship!]
After handing the badge to Su He, Xiao Bai waved to him and once again played the tune from when they first met.
When the song ended, it vanished into thin air, leaving the word "friend" on the stone ground.
