Chapter 2 Homemade Tools
Lin Guiyao took off his T-shirt and pants, and only wore a pair of black CK underwear, revealing a large area of ​​fair skin.

Knot the clothes and trousers together, roll them into long strips and wrap them around the iron chains to increase their strength, then wrap them around his armpits and tree trunks to form a strong knot.

In this way, a simple tree climbing tool is completed.

Lin Guiyao only needs to lean his upper body back, and by increasing the friction and self-locking principle of gravity, he can be easily fixed on the tree trunk. When climbing up, he only needs to keep his hands on his feet, move his feet, and then go up Just move the loop of the rope.

Buckling the belt around his white waist, and fastening the hoe to the belt, Lin Guiyao climbed up the tree with bare feet.

Although due to lack of proficiency, the actual operation will be much more difficult than the original tutorial he saw, but after moving like a caterpillar for more than 20 minutes, Lin Guiyao successfully reached the top of the tree.

The leaves, which are as green as cattail leaves, are in stark contrast to the surrounding dust. Most importantly, the string of more than 20 "basketballs" hanging from the lower end of the petiole is emitting a green light like emeralds. .

Although one size bigger, there is no doubt that this is a coconut!
Lin Guiyao fixed his body excitedly, pulled out the hoe on his waist, and split it against the fruit handle. With a click, nearly 200 kilograms of coconut strings fell heavily towards the ground, creating a heavy cloud. dust...

The fruit was in his hands, but Lin Guiyao didn't rush down the tree, instead he chopped off more than a dozen coconut leaves before sliding down slowly.

Picking up a fallen coconut and checking it, a string of blue characters really reappeared.

【Wild Tall Coconut】Coconut mutant fruit, the outer layer has a thicker waxy layer, and the melting point is greatly reduced after peeling off, which is very flammable.The fruit is rich in water and nutrients.

[Worth 50G, domesticable. 】

Seeing the two options of [sell] and [domestication] popping up suddenly and shining in front of him, Lin Guiyao's nose soured and he almost shed tears of happiness.

Fortunately, this system is not a piece of trash who can only explain nouns!

Lin Guiyao, who had calmed down, read the explanation carefully again. The first one is easy to understand, that is, selling money. The judgment is to improve the wild coconut into a state with better properties and more in line with human needs.

For example, the growth period is shorter, the fruit is more nutritious, cold and drought resistant, the vitality is more tenacious, and it is easier to harvest and so on.

And when the time comes, as long as you plant the seeds obtained after domestication, you will get a lot of seeds with the same traits sooner or later, it's like carrying a grandfather who can instantly super-breed...

However, the price of this domestication is a bit high - a full 5000G!

If you want money, Lin Guiyao plans to try selling one first.

He put the coconut in his hand, and then said silently: For sale!

[Sale failed!Please operate in a closed environment such as a backpack or a box. 】

Looking at this sentence, he suddenly thought of a prop, shipping box...

But Lin Guiyao, who had searched the house, didn't have the two things of a box and a backpack.

In other words, the system is still useless.

Feeling extremely thirsty, Lin Guiyao slumped, and decided to open a coconut first to ease his mood. He was already sweating profusely after strenuous exercise.

But after checking all the coconuts, he found a good news and a bad news:
The good news is that not a single coconut was broken, and the bad news is that not a single coconut was broken.

Lin Guiyao, who has no knives, had difficulty drinking the water in the coconut which is more than 40 meters high and cannot be broken.

He picked up a hoe and tried it, but he couldn't even pierce the outer skin, and it was so slippery that the biubiu flew around, but he scraped off a thick layer of white wax, about half a centimeter long.

Some tropical plants usually secrete some wax on the surface of the leaves and fruits in order to maintain water, but such a thick white wax can be scraped out like the coconut in the hand, which is obviously abnormal, and it is probably caused by radiation or other reasons Mutations.

Lin Guiyao shook his head. He doesn't have a Geiger counter at hand now, so he can't measure the radiation intensity. Even if he did, he can't solve it.

After all, he had no choice.

With a wry smile, Lin Guiyao cast his eyes on the new soil. When he was torturing the mutant dog, he found that the old dog's teeth and claws seemed to be very sharp, maybe they could be used as tools.

As for hygiene issues, I'm almost dying of thirst, so I can't manage that much anymore.

Thinking about it, Lin Guiyao felt that his throat was a little smoky, his bare upper body was sweating all over, and his desire for water was getting stronger and stronger, so he quickly picked up a hoe and dug out the dog's corpse and head. It took a lot of effort to pry out the two largest canine teeth and four dog claws.

After burying the disfigured dog corpse again, Lin Guiyao carefully scraped off as much flesh and blood as possible from the loot with the sharp end of a hoe, then threw it into the mud and kneaded it for a long time. After feeling that the smell had almost dissipated, he returned to the wooden house.

Comparing the clean and clean trophy, the canine teeth are about five centimeters long, the head is slightly curved, and have good penetrating power, while the dog paws are about four centimeters long each, and the thinner side on the inside is very sharp, a bit like a small sickle.

After thinking about it, Lin Guiyao dragged a coconut leaf in from the outside, scraped off the thin leaves on the petiole of a coconut leaf with his dog's claws, and then slowly cut a section of petiole with a moderate thickness and length, and carefully opened a stalk at one end. groove, and then took off the shoelace of a shoe, and tied a dog's paw tightly to the leaf stalk.

In this way, he obtained a simple pocket knife.

Lin Guiyao took out a coconut, and used a knife to shave off the thick waxy layer on the outside to prevent it from slipping, and then slowly removed the handle towards the end of the coconut with a knife. The sharpness of the claws was unexpectedly good, and a flat cut was made in no time.

Lin Guiyao was a little scared, just the claws and teeth, if the mutant dog was not tied, ten of them would not be enough for him to look at, even if he had a hoe.

He took out a dog tooth, blew on it, and inserted it into the opened flat mouth a few times. Lin Guiyao quickly found the three holes in the legend of the coconut. He felt that with a light hand, the dog tooth broke through After breaking the hard shell of the coconut, a few drops of coconut water flowed out.

Rinse the opening of the hole with the coconut water that flowed out, and just wanted to put his mouth on it, but after thinking about it again, Lin Guiyao picked up a clean coconut leaf from his side, rolled it into a tube, and inserted it into the coconut. With an expression of drinking pesticide, he took a sip carefully.

Hey?
Really fragrant!
