Miss Aina was very efficient and delivered the first batch of iron ore before noon the next day.
The funds for purchasing iron ore are paid from the sales of magic potions.
Kevin provided 50 bottles of weak magic potions and healing potions in one go.
The estimated profit from these potions is 600,000 Valis, enough to buy a considerable amount of iron ore.
"After the Molten Fire Festival is over, I will make another appointment with Miss Aina to repay this favor."
Looking at the pile of iron ore piled on the open space, Kevin thought silently.
Afterwards, he used his [Identification] ability on these iron ores that originated from the main world.
[You identified "Iron Ore" x330]
"It really works!"
Seeing the prompt in front of him, Kevin suddenly perked up, and his eyes lit up.
After being "identified," these iron ores turned into materials that can be synthesized!
It's no different from the iron ore mined in the Terraria world.
If I have to say something, it is that not all minerals have passed the appraisal.
Some iron ore of lower quality was also left behind and counted as debris.
But it's not a big problem. Kevin was already very satisfied with such a gain.
"This will finally solve the current ore shortage problem."
Three pieces of iron ore can be smelted into one iron ingot using a furnace.
Moreover, this process is completed instantly and does not take any time.
In the blink of an eye, 110 iron ingots appeared in Kevin's inventory.
This kind of speed is the efficiency that every blacksmith dreams of!
With these metal ingots, the first thing Kevin had to do was to fully arm himself.
[Iron Armor (White): Contains a helmet, a chest armor, and greaves, providing a total of 9 points of defense, 1 point of life regeneration, and 10% damage reduction]
It takes 60 iron ingots to craft a full set of iron armor.
After putting on this armor, more than half of the iron ingots in Kevin's hand were instantly gone.
The remaining metal ingots were used to make an iron pickaxe, an iron axe, and a fishing rod.
[Enhanced Fishing Rod (White): Provides 15 points of fishing power]
This is the best fishing rod Kevin can get at this stage.
Although the bonus provided is not much, it is barely enough.
Two iron tools are better than the copper pickaxes and axes on hand and can slightly improve the collection efficiency.
As for weapons, since he had an iron sword brought from the main world, Kevin made an iron bow as a means of long-range attack.
[Iron Bow (White): Causes 8 points of basic damage, which is superimposed with the arrow damage]
The characteristic of bow weapons is that they can use different types of arrows.
The result is the damage of the bow itself plus the damage of the arrow.
Some arrows have additional effects.
The most basic wooden arrows can be made with any "wood" and "stone."
Only 1 unit of each material is needed to make 25 arrows, which is a large quantity and a sufficient supply.
They can also be purchased in the store for 5 copper coins each.
1 gold coin can buy 2,000 wooden arrows, which is not expensive.
However, Kevin had limited funds, so he finally chose to craft them manually.
When he is no longer short of gold coins in the future, he can buy as much as he wants, which will save time.
In addition, Kevin also made some wooden arrows into "flaming arrows."
Only 1 torch is needed to craft 10 Wooden Arrows into 10 Flaming Arrows.
Although the damage of Flaming Arrows is only 1 point higher than that of Wooden Arrows, they have a chance to apply the "burning" effect.
Not only can it cause additional damage, but it can also provide light in dim environments.
It is very practical whether for exploration or combat.
Kevin kept the remaining iron ingots and used them to make facilities such as boxes.
"Time to go out and explore."
After a brief rest, Kevin looked at the sky and walked out of the cabin.
Lily, who had been busy all day, was resting next door, so Kevin did not disturb her but left quietly.
"According to the terrain I saw from a high altitude, the four directions near the birth point correspond to four types of terrain."
"Deserts, snowfields, plains, and jungles."
This is pretty much all the surface biomes.
As for the "ocean" and "evil" environments, we need to continue exploring to discover them.
Kevin's exploration goal this time is also very clear—the jungle!
There is still one day left until the Molten Festival, which is two days in Terraria time.
Kevin needs to collect materials during this time and make a weapon that is good enough to gain the approval of the Forging Goddess.
In addition, he also needs to collect equipment, strengthen his own strength, and challenge the Slime King!
Taking all these factors into consideration, Kevin believes that the jungle is undoubtedly the best area to explore.
Although the jungles of the Terraria world are full of thorns and monsters, they also have extremely rich natural resources!
Defeating monsters in the jungle biome can drop materials such as stingers and vines.
Add to that the luminous spores that are everywhere in the underground jungle, and you can synthesize all kinds of jungle-themed equipment.
These equipments are much better than the iron protective gear and weapons Kevin currently has.
For example, a complete set of [Jungle Armor] can not only provide twice the defense value of Iron Armor,
It can also increase maximum magic power by 60 points, magic damage and critical hit rate by 6%!
What Kevin values most is a weapon made from poisonous stings, vines, and jungle spores—the Grass Sword!
Although the name of this sword is ordinary, its rarity is "orange"!
In addition to the base damage appropriate to its rarity, it also inflicts a poison effect on enemies it hits.
While swinging, it can also launch leaf blades with penetrating effects for coordinated attacks!
These leaf blades can also cause a "poisoning" effect.
From any perspective, this is a very powerful weapon.
The most important thing is that this sword can be synthesized with other weapons and upgraded into a powerful weapon called "Blade of Eternal Night"!
However, the other three weapons required for synthesis are much more difficult to obtain than the Grass Sword.
With Kevin's ability, he is not able to collect them for the time being.
In comparison, the Grass Sword, which only requires jungle environment materials, has become the best choice.
This is also the work that Kevin intends to display at the Molten Fire Festival.
"Once I have the Jungle Set, the Grass Sword, and the 'Super Thermal Ion Cannon,' I will be able to challenge the Slime King."
"I hope that this exploration... won't lead to any accidents, or at least no one will die."
Looking at the dark jungle pit leading deep underground, Kevin took a deep breath and slowly lowered the rope.
If we hit 100 Power Stones in a week and gather 10 reviews, I'll reward you with an extra chapter next Monday!
