That afternoon, Bilbo ran to the warehouse and pulled out a bunch of sausages of different flavors, and said that as a native of the Shire, he must treat Levi, a friend who came from afar, with hospitality.

Levi would naturally not refuse.

The two had a sumptuous "afternoon tea" together.

While enjoying the food he cooked himself, Levi was worried.

Although he had read the Lord of the Rings many times and was very familiar with the story.

But when he really came to this world, he knew nothing about the specific circumstances of the places that were not described in detail in the other stories except for the key story scenes and general plots that were like prophecies.

He needed time to integrate and also needed to collect some intelligence.

After dinner, Bilbo declined the special supply of Shire tobacco, and the two sat on chairs in the small yard, staring into the distance in a daze.

For a while, the air was a little quiet.

"Levi, do you have anything important to do in the next few days?"

Suddenly, Bilbo asked this question.

Levi glanced at Bilbo and raised his eyebrows.

Bilbo stood up, took a breath and said, "Of course, don't get me wrong, I don't want to pry into your privacy. I mean, if you don't have anything important to do, maybe you can stay here for a few more days."

"Look, the scenery of the Shire is not bad, isn't it? I think you can walk around and take a break."

"Uh... you know, we Hobbits never like to step out of our hometown, nor do we like adventures, but I personally have some interest in the scenery outside. If you are willing, you can tell me about it, and I am willing to be a good host and entertain you."

After saying that, Bilbo put his hands on his waist, blinking and waiting for Levi's reply.

At this moment, in his eyes, Levi has become a top chef who traveled far away from home, and maybe even a royal chef of the human kingdom.

For a meal made with such craftsmanship, eating more is earning a mouthful.

The air returned to silence.

Levi only thought about it for a moment and saw through this little thought.

Sure enough, people with craftsmanship will never worry about going anywhere.

Bilbo was a little uneasy, and just when he opened his mouth again to say something, Levi laughed.

"Hahaha, since you said so, I'll have to shamelessly bother you for a few more days."

"Thank you for your generosity, Mr. Bilbo."

"Oh, okay, okay!" Bilbo nodded repeatedly.

Levi didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he got up and returned to the house.

Stolen content alert: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

This was the first time Bilbo invited a stranger he just met to stay at his house, so he was inevitably a little nervous.

Leisure time is always short, and the gap between afternoon tea and dinner was over in a few words.

In the name of learning, Levi learned several recipes in one night, and the result was that Bilbo's dishes were all eaten by Levi, and the system-level delicacies made by Levi were all given to Bilbo.

For a while, the Hobbit felt a little ashamed, eating high-quality food while Levi was dealing with his rough craftsmanship.

For such a chef, it must be very difficult to eat such crudely cooked food...

Bilbo thought that if he was asked to eat the burnt fried fish made by a kitchen novice, he would definitely not be able to bear it.

At the table, the two who had just finished dinner showed satisfied expressions.

It must be said that the Hobbit's stomach is indeed very large.

According to Levi's usual appetite, this meal can make him eat for a whole day.

Levi originally thought that he might not be able to eat, after all, in "My World", you can't eat anymore when the hunger bar is full.

However, he was surprised to find that he could continue to eat after the hunger bar was full.

The extra food turned into a second hunger bar with a brighter color, covering the original hunger bar.

Hunger storage.

Levi immediately guessed that in my world, there are many mods that can do this.

Middle Earth is also a mod, which is very reasonable.

Under testing, Levi quickly found that the hunger bar can only store an additional whole bar at most.

After the second hunger bar is full, no matter how much you eat, there will be no new changes. At this time, you will feel that your stomach is full normally.

After the meal, Levi said hello to Bilbo and left quietly, running to a distant forest.

Levi wanted to do this a long time ago.

He looked around and made sure that no one lived in this area and no one would disturb him.

So he raised his hand and knocked hard on the big tree in front of him.

Dong.

A slightly dull sound came.

A slight crack appeared on the trunk.

And the hand was intact.

Dongdongdongdongdongdong...

The dull sound continued to come, and after a few punches left a great psychological shadow on the tree, with a "pop" sound, a piece of the tree was missing in the middle, and the whole tree fell to the ground with a bang, startling a group of birds and beasts.

In contrast, a miniature piece of wood fell to the ground and floated slowly.

After being sucked into the backpack, the name was displayed: Oak Log.

Unlike in the game, this piece of wood looks the same as it did when it was broken.

Levi tried to break another piece of wood, but found that this log took up an extra space in the backpack and could not be stacked at all.

Because the two pieces of wood were different.

The solution is...

"Unlocked synthesis formula: standard oak."

After a while, the fallen tree disappeared, replaced by several "standard oaks" stacked in the backpack, as well as a pile of sticks and leaves.

【Achievement: "Standardization!"】

"I see."

Looking at the achievement pop-up, Levi realized something.

Just as there are no two identical snowflakes in the world, things that are knocked down directly cannot be directly stacked in the backpack because of their different shapes, sizes and specific structures.

But after synthesis, they can be turned into exactly the same raw materials, so they can be stacked and stored in the backpack.

For example, for the knocked-down tree logs, Levi only needs to put them in the four-grid synthesis column of the backpack to go through the process, and they can be "standardized" and turned into the "logs" he is familiar with.

After having a bottom line in his mind, Levi immediately continued to work, knocking wood everywhere and plucking materials.

As the materials in the backpack increased, more synthesis formulas were unlocked.

First the workbench, then the wooden pickaxe.

Click, Levi knocked on the ground under his feet and started the real man mining method directly, digging vertically on the spot.

After a long time, when Levi came out of the ground, his backpack had already collected a set of stone tools, achieving the "Stone Age" achievement. He also made a few furnaces and burned some charcoal to make torches.

There was no way, reality was not like MC, where you could dig up ore anywhere, so you could only burn some charcoal first.

After a lot of trouble, with a ding, Levi's level reached level one.

There was no obvious change.

If you find diamonds and obsidian in the future, you can try to synthesize an enchantment table and see...

It was already late at night.

Looking up, I saw stars everywhere, with a crescent moon in the middle.

"It's so beautiful."

It was almost time to go back, Bilbo was still waiting for me to make a midnight snack.
