Su Ming opened his personal panel and checked it.

Every player who entered the game would have their personal attributes displayed in data for inspection.

Su Ming’s status panel was as ordinary as it could be.

When he saw the items in his bag, Su Ming became excited.

As an expert player in his previous life, he was extremely familiar with these two items.

These two items could be called divine weapons for the starting development of a newcomer.

Su Ming took out the life skills book from his bag and held it in his hand.

Its cover was light yellow, and it seemed to be made of sheepskin.

As he flipped to the first page, lines of text appeared.

[Appraisal]

[Activation requirement: 1 free skill point]

On the second page.

[Collect]

[Activation requirement: 1 free skill point]

The third page.

[Taming]

[Activation requirement: 3 free skill points]

Su Ming continued to flip through the pages.

The fourth page, the fifth page…

[Forge]

[Sew]…

Each page contained a life skill.

Other than the first two pages’ collection and appraisal, which only required 1 skill point to activate, the rest of the skills required 3 skill points to activate.

The game’s free skill points were very rare, and only by leveling up would one get 1 free skill point.

Therefore, it was impossible for players to activate all life skills, and they could only distribute skill points according to their needs.

Su Ming did not have any skill points at the moment, so he could only put the skill book into his bag.

As for the simple tool table, it could be used to make various simple tools, but the condition was that various materials were needed.

Gulu!

At that moment, Su Ming felt a sense of hunger. It was a signal from his brain that spread through his entire body.

Su Ming immediately noticed that his body’s condition had started to decline.

This was the reality of the game. If you were hungry, you had to eat. Otherwise, your physical strength and other attributes would decrease, and you would be so hungry that it would be difficult to walk later.

If they did not eat for a few days, the players would really starve to death.

With his rich survival experience, he naturally would not make such a low-level mistake. He scanned his surroundings.

Soon, his vision locked onto a forest not far away.

There was a lush green and bright red patch, obviously full of wild berries.

Su Ming quickly ran over and grabbed a tree branch that was full of fruits. He carefully plucked them off and placed them on the ground.

Very quickly, the ground was filled with bright and juicy fruits.

He picked up a fist-sized berry and took a big bite. Immediately, the fragrance and juice of the fruit burst out in his mouth.

After eating two of them, Su Ming’s stomach was full.

The remaining fruits on the ground were put into his backpack one by one. Although he could only put in a dozen of them, it was enough to satisfy his hunger for one or two days.

Now that he was full, it was time to collect materials and make tools!

Su Ming thought.

This world was in its primitive state. There was no safe zone to speak of, and danger could appear at any time.

They might be surrounded by a pack of wild wolves while walking, or a giant eagle might fall from the sky.

The tools that Su Ming could make at the moment were very simple. In fact, they might even be crude.

For example, a stone axe made of wood and stone.

These materials were everywhere.

Su Ming rummaged around the riverbank, and soon found the stones he had collected.

Then, he went into the forest.

The danger level in the forest was much higher than that of the flat plain.

There might be a venomous snake hiding in a dark corner, and there might be venomous beehives hanging on the branches.

Fortunately, Su Ming was a player at the bone dust level, so he had a lot of experience in surviving.

He carefully walked through the forest, looking for the materials he needed.

There were two main materials. One was a sturdy wooden stick, and the other was rattan.

Wooden sticks were easy to find as they could be found everywhere. However, vines were more troublesome as they could only grow on certain plants.

Shua shua shua!

A cool breeze blew past, and rustling sounds could be heard from the forest.

Su Ming bent his back and walked with light steps. His sharp gaze was like that of an old hunter as he scanned his surroundings.

Suddenly, he was overjoyed.

“So many…vines!”

In the forest ahead, there were large patches of vines growing.

Even though he was overjoyed, Su Ming did not lower his guard. He slowly and quietly moved closer.

Just like that, after half an hour, Su Ming gathered enough materials and walked out of the forest.

He took out a simple workbench and placed the materials on the side.

After some thought, Su Ming picked up a bundle of vines and prepared to make rattan armor.

These vines were tough, shiny, smooth to the touch, and extremely elastic. If they were made into rattan armor, they could effectively protect the body.

Su Ming pulled out the vines one by one. His movements were skilled and his technique was brilliant. The armor of vines was gradually formed.

[You’ve crafted excellent rattan armor!]

With the appearance of the prompt, the first tool to enter the game was created.

Su Ming looked at it in satisfaction.

Vine armor

[Rarity: White]

[Grade: Superior]

[Attributes: defense +5]

[Description: Woven from tough rattan. Superb technique greatly increases the defense of rattan armor.]

“It actually added so much defense!”

When Su Ming saw the attributes, he was also shocked.

The items and equipment in this game were in the order of white, green, blue, purple, orange, gold…

And each grade was further divided into different grades, inferior, ordinary, superior, perfect, beyond perfect, and so on.

The higher the grade and rarity of the item, the stronger its attributes.

Generally speaking, a new player without any crafting skills could only craft items of inferior quality.

However, Su Ming used the memories he had from before and the technique he had carved into his bones to forcefully increase the quality of the rattan armor by two levels.

He remembered that the poor quality rattan armor he made in his previous life only added 1 point to defense.

One could only imagine how great the gap was.

Once he was done with the vine armor, Su Ming put it on.

He twisted his body and jumped around, only to find an unexpected fit. It did not hinder his movements in the slightest.

Then, he started to make the next tool, the stone spear.

The making of the stone spear was relatively simple, but it took a lot of time.

He placed a long and sharp stone on the tool table and continued to sharpen it.

About half an hour later, the grinding was completed, and it could be used as a spearhead.

Then, Su Ming took out a wooden stick and tied the two of them together with a vine.

[You’ve made a fine stone spear!]

At this moment, a system notification came.

Su Ming was just about to check his attributes when another notification rang in his ears.

[You have continuously made excellent tools with excellent manufacturing skills. You have unlocked the life skill, ‘Manufacturing’.]
