Chapter 8: Berry Recipes

At this early stage, the environment wasn’t exactly ideal, so all Su You could do was set up a campfire and do some basic processing.

There were two sets of materials for making a campfire: one was [Wood x5, Rope x2], and the other was [Wood x3, Stone x1].

Although Su You had enough materials for either method, since stone had more uses early on and was harder to find in the forest, she naturally chose the first method to build her campfire.

But before setting up the campfire, Su You first combined her loose stones into stone material. Once that was done, she put in two pieces of wood...

‘Wood x2, Stone x1’—these were originally the materials for making a Stone Axe, but in reality, the same materials could be used to craft different items.

For example, when Su You opened the crafting interface at her workbench, she could see that both ‘Stone Axe’ and ‘Stone Knife’ were available to craft.

[Use Wood x2, Stone x1 to craft Stone Knife?]

[Crafting: Stone Knife. Estimated time: 120 seconds.]

Two minutes later, Su You took out the Stone Knife and then put in the materials for the campfire.

[Use Wood x5, Rope x2 to craft Campfire?]

[Crafting: Campfire. Estimated time: 300 seconds.]

Since making a campfire took five minutes, Su You had decided to craft the Stone Knife first, then the campfire.

Once the workbench started running, Su You finally took a look at the Stone Knife’s info.

[Stone Knife]

Category: Tool

Quality: Common (White)

Attack: +1 (Attack Damage: 10)

Durability: 100/100

Description: An ordinary but fairly sharp stone knife. Can be used for cutting items or as a self-defense weapon.

Su You held the stone knife in one hand and took a piece of wood from her backpack with the other. Just like when she made the wooden needle before, she started her handiwork.

Although Su You wasn’t particularly skilled with her hands in real life, she’d played plenty of VR games before, and these kinds of games always had some kind of assistance or calibration, so making simple items wasn’t too hard for her.

As wood shavings fell to the ground, after a while, Su You obtained: Wooden Cup x1.

[Wooden Cup]

Category: Tool

Quality: Common (White)

Description: An ordinary wooden cup, can be used to hold liquids.

Following this process, Su You made three more wooden cups, so now she had four in total.

Maybe because the crafting method was simple, and she was using tools, all four cups were made successfully on the first try—no failures.

Once she finished her handiwork, the campfire on the workbench was also done. Su You took it out, and when she used it, a translucent image of a campfire appeared before her eyes. She could place it anywhere on the ground around her.

She picked a suitable spot and set down the campfire, then immediately threw in all the nearby items she’d prepared as fuel.

Things like broken traps, rough wooden needles, a wooden needle (Durability 4/20), snapped branches, and shredded bark, etc.

Once the burn time reached an hour, she stopped adding fuel.

The reason she was in such a hurry to feed the fire was because, when you first place a campfire, it comes lit for ten seconds.

While the fire is burning, you can keep adding fuel to extend the burn time. But if the fire goes out, you have to use ‘kindling’ to relight it.

Kindling isn’t hard to make, and there are three common recipes:
