Level 205: 'Archaeology'
A few pristine white clouds drifted across the azure sky, looking as if they were painted.
Yang Tao wielded a hoe like a diligent old farmer, swinging a 'knife' the size of a watermelon slicer across the grassland.
The knife is the most important item in this mod, capable of both attacking as a weapon and being used in some crafting on a cutting board.
When using the knife to destroy grass, tall grass, wheat, and rice crops, extra straw will drop.
When using the knife to kill animals, rare drops are guaranteed; killing a pig has a 50% chance to drop a ham, while killing a Hoglin has a 100% drop rate, dropping up to 3 when enchanted with Looting III.
"Ultimately, there's no escaping the fate of farming…"
Picking up the 'Straw' that had dropped on the ground, Yang Tao walked over to a nearby workbench, stuffing the dirt, straw, rotten flesh, and bonemeal from his backpack into it to craft 'Organic Fertilizer'.
After a period of time, 'Organic Fertilizer' will transform into 'Fertile Soil'.
It provides an additional growth boost to crops planted on it, with the effect being even more pronounced on moist Fertile Soil farmland.
This item can shorten the growth cycle of crops.
Yang Tao took out his shovel and dug a trench in the grass to place the 'Organic Fertilizer'. Just then, a section of white bone became exposed from underground, revealed to the air.
The next moment.
The white bone came to life, and with a violent trembling of the ground, a dinosaur composed of white bones emerged from beneath the earth.
It had a body over four meters tall and at least ten meters long. Without its outer appearance, Yang Tao couldn't immediately tell what kind of dinosaur skeleton this was.
However, its reddish outline strongly indicated that it didn't seem to have any goodwill towards him.
The Fossil Dinosaur opened its maw full of sharp teeth, letting out a silent roar at Yang Tao.
Before it could bite Yang Tao, an angular bolt of lightning struck down from the sky, precisely hitting the Fossil Dinosaur.
-100
A three-digit damage number appeared from the dinosaur, severely wounding the Fossil Dinosaur, which only had 400 health points.
Two of the latest model 'Mutated Iron Golems' rushed over, launching a torrential attack on this Fossil Dinosaur.
Yang Tao looked at the mess on the ground, pointed at the Fossil Dinosaur, and said, "Drag it aside and give it a good lesson! Remember to leave some health, don't kill it!"
Not far away, several wandering Fossil Anniemals saw this scene and, like quails, lowered their heads, pretending they hadn't seen anything.
In Level 205: 'Archaeology', there are large quantities of bones underground, and most of these bones are alive. However, just like when they were alive, some are docile and some are aggressive.
But this is not absolute; logically, deer, which are typically timid, become incredibly ferocious after turning into fossils. Unlike other carnivorous animals, they are also fearless of death.
There was no other way, so Yang Tao directly turned them into true fossils.
As for those more sensible Fossil Entities, he kept them in captivity.
Regarding the 'War Fossils' that had no intelligence whatsoever, he sought them out one by one, emptied their life force, and displayed them in prominent locations, turning them into true exhibits.
Looking at the 'Organic Fertilizer' that was transforming on the ground, Yang Tao took out his shovel again, leveling the ground while filling in the collapse caused by the dinosaur fossil earlier.
Time passed by second by second.
Just as Yang Tao was about to check if the initial 'Organic Fertilizer' had turned into 'Fertile Soil'.
He saw something familiar.
'Piñata'
Yang Tao: "…"
A brand new piñata covered in colorful paper appeared in his line of sight.
It wasn't there when he first arrived, clearly having just 'spawned'.
He walked forward, picked up the piñata from the ground, and muttered softly, "Is this never-ending?"
Partygoers are simply the bane of the Backrooms; their scribbled marks can be seen everywhere.
Holding the piñata.
He directly summoned a wooden door, and several Villagers wearing straw hats walked over from the Overworld, curiously observing their surroundings.
"It's so spacious here…"
"Looks like a great place for farming."
"I wonder if the brave one has cleared out the monsters here yet…"
"With Iron Golems around, there shouldn't be a problem."
Several Villagers with the farmer profession, as soon as they came out, chattered incessantly, discussing everything from the surrounding environment to safety issues, and then from safety issues to which of the distant fossil creatures looked the best.
"Alright, everyone, we can discuss later. The area within several hundred meters has already been cleared by me, so there shouldn't be any more danger."
At this moment, a Villager raised his hand like an elementary school student, and Yang Tao motioned for him to speak freely.
"Brave one, what do you mean 'shouldn't be'?"
You're too irresponsible! We're risking our lives for you, and you don't even provide safety insurance??
Yang Tao said helplessly, "The fossil creatures in this world are just ordinary fossils before they come into contact with air; you can't see their health bars."
"There are definitely other bones underground, so I can only instruct you not to run around, not to dig randomly, and to stay by Iron Bro's side. If you seek death yourselves, I will not be responsible."
He pointed to a nearby chest and said, "There are grape seeds in that chest; you will be responsible for planting grapes here from now on."
He paused, then continued, "If you see a speeding Green-robed Villager, remember to tie him up and throw him back to the Overworld. He is your biggest danger."
This time, all the Villagers nodded frantically like chickens pecking at rice.
The Green-robed Villager was a dangerous individual even in their eyes.
After explaining the planting matters, Yang Tao looked at the 'Piñata' in his hand, a playful smile on his face.
"So it's Partygoers, huh… I'd like to see what this is all about!"
He forcefully threw the piñata to the ground, and some candies flew out from the broken 'Piñata'.
The next moment, Yang Tao's figure vanished from the vast grassland of Level 205.
In a flash.
Yang Tao reappeared in the room covered with drawings, but unlike last time, there was a 'Partygoer' with his back to him in the previously empty room.
This Partygoer was at least two and a half meters tall, with bright yellow skin that gave a feeling of high-quality leather. Its body was covered with speckles of red blood, and for some reason, this blood looked as fresh and vibrant as if it had just been soaked in.
The moment Yang Tao saw the Partygoer, he didn't hesitate. Before the other party noticed him, he delivered a flying kick, knocking the 'Partygoer' to the ground.
"So you really want me to come to Level Fun, huh? Alright, today we'll have a good time enjoying ourselves!!"
He took out a brightly glowing 'End Rod' from his backpack, stepped on the Partygoer's body, and forcefully thrust it into its lower half.
Although the Partygoer's lower body was like a leather suit, without any gaps or openings, Yang Tao always believed in the principle of "great strength yields miracles."
Accompanied by a shrill scream, a glowing Partygoer was born in Level Fun.
