Yun Xiao Yi scratched his head and ultimately decided that he would take his time to figure things out in the future. The collapse of the ancient tree did not affect the wooden block that had already exploded, so Yun Xiao Yi stepped forward to pick up the virtual block and stowed it away in his backpack.
His gaze then fell upon the massive ancient tree lying on the ground.
"Well, let's continue."
The sound of thuds echoed again, as if Steve had possessed him. Each punch landed with intervals of only seven or eight seconds, and with every strike, a part of the tree would disappear, accompanied by the emergence of another illusory wooden block.
In just a few minutes, over twenty trees, each shorter than Michael, were completely destroyed by Yun Xiao Yi. However, the yield was not as bountiful as he had expected; including the first block, he had only obtained five wooden blocks in total.
This indicated that the amount of wood collected from a tree might not be related to its height but rather depended more on its overall volume.
Based on this deduction, Yun Xiao Yi ran over to another towering and broad giant tree nearby and engaged in battle once more.
With a loud crash, another large tree fell. Prepared for battle, Yun Xiao Yi quickly dodged to a safe spot, waiting for the tree to come to a complete stop before clearing away the remaining branches.
In just a few minutes, additional wooden blocks found their way into his backpack. This confirmed his hypothesis: the yield of wood depended on the overall volume of the tree rather than its height. Since this tree was not only taller but also sturdier, it produced one more resource than the last.
This scene sparked further thoughts in Yun Xiao Yi's mind: if he were to stack the excavated wooden blocks into a platform and then remove the bottom layer, would the remaining blocks be able to float in midair like a world suspended in space?
Action was the most powerful form of verification.
He decisively took out all the wood from his backpack and placed it on the ground. As soon as the wood touched the ground, it seemed to absorb some magical power, instantly transforming from the size of a fist to a standard cubic meter.
Atop this foundation stone, he arranged four identical cubes in succession. Then, he began to remove an entire row of wooden blocks from the bottom. What followed was a scene that defied the laws of physics; the remaining wooden blocks surprisingly hovered steadily in mid-air. Even with Yun Xiao Yi sitting on top of them, everything remained as stable as ever.
This was simply astonishing; the rules were so powerful that they could almost make Newton rise from his grave. In an instant, various ideas for constructing Sky Island flooded his mind. His enthusiasm for gathering wood surged even higher.
He dashed toward the third tree and resumed his wood-gathering activity. This time, luck seemed to be on his side. In addition to the usual wood, he miraculously found a small seedling and an apple. While seedlings were not rare—there was a certain probability of finding them each time he gathered wood—the apple was a different story. It only had a small chance of dropping when gathering from oak trees and could restore two hunger points when consumed or be combined with gold coins to create a Golden Apple.
He was puzzled; the trees he had just gathered from did not appear to be oaks at all. What kind of trees were they? Yun Xiao Yi felt uncertain, as there were far more types of trees in reality than in this world. Could it be that in this realm, any type of tree could potentially yield apples?
If that were true, it would be fantastic—his mother would no longer have to worry about not being able to craft Golden Apples.
Next, he found a suitable spot and planted the recently acquired seedling. He was filled with curiosity about how this seedling would grow—would it develop according to real-world principles or follow the game’s settings?
Unfortunately, there was no Bone Meal available at the moment. If he waited a little longer, he would soon be able to verify his findings. However, Yun Xiao Yi did not immediately continue with his tree-felling endeavors. A good blacksmith does not rush to sharpen his tools; his plan was to first craft a Crafting Table.
In this world, the Crafting Table was the core of all crafting. The simple crafting grid in the default backpack could only manage a limited number of combinations, while the Crafting Table expanded the range of possible creations significantly.
Opening his backpack's crafting grid, he placed a piece of wood inside. One piece of wood could be broken down into four wooden planks; four wooden planks could then be combined to create one Crafting Table. He used ten pieces of wood to produce forty wooden planks, from which he selected four to make the Crafting Table. At the same time, he also crafted ten sticks, made from two wooden planks each.
