Chapter 21: The Kobold Miners

The wait is long, and an hour can do a lot!

Jia Zhengjin told Tina to go back to the house to sleep, while he sneaked into the trap to investigate.

Because there are two positions in the corral, it is possible to tame a beast in addition to Ash.

Luck was good, there were two more kobolds in the trap. It seems that the kobold population in this vicinity is still quite large, otherwise they would not have been arrested the most!

This time, Jia Zhengjin did not immediately kill the two trapped kobolds, but first attacked them from top to bottom with a quenched iron spear, so that they were paralyzed and unable to move. Then they were all tied up with ropes, carried on their shoulders left and right, and brought home.

It took about half an hour to come and go, and Ash was still domesticating.

Jia Zhengjin threw a kobold into the animal pen, and there was an extra [healing] option on the trough. It seems that it is the injured beast that can be treated.

He immediately opted for treatment, and as a result, he consumed a piece of raw meat. The new kobold lay on the ground and ate the raw meat, then staggered to his feet.

Jia Zhengjin didn't wait for it to react, and immediately chose to domesticate it on the trough. The kobold also entered the domesticated state and began the one-hour countdown.

It's just two, and the third kobold can't fit into the pen! Although the space of the pen is actually quite large, it's like a football field for the two kobolds.

It doesn't matter, just tie the neck with a rope, and while it is still in a paralyzed state, tie it to the outside of the animal pen and keep it here temporarily.

After all, this kobold is different from Ash, he is bigger and found to be more ferocious when he fought just now. If you are locked in the house, you don't have anything, but you are afraid of hurting Tina, who is incapable of fighting. Bullying the soft and afraid of the hard adult kobold is still a bit dangerous for Tina.

【News】Kobold has been tamed successfully, please choose the direction of pet development!

Xiao Ash was finally domesticated, and a virtual interface appeared in front of Jia Zhengjin's eyes. There are three options on it: [Riding Pets], [Collecting Pets], and Load-Bearing Vehicles, but the Load-Bearing Vehicles are gray, and it is obvious that such a small kobold is not suitable for domestication as a load-carrying vehicle.

Jia Zhengjin is very strange, kobolds can't be used as vehicles, but they can be used as riding pets? Humans who are more than twice their size can carry them?

Strange is weird, and there is no need for a mount right now anyway. Therefore, click on the option to collect pets.

【News】Please give the domesticated beast gathering tools!

Jia Zhengjin decisively took out the iron pickaxe from the virtual backpack and put it in the equipment slot.

【News】Kobold has been domesticated as a kobold miner and can now operate on pets!

"Kobold miner?haha!" Jia Zhengjin chose the little ash that had been successfully domesticated in front of the trough, and saw that the words kobold miner appeared on its head. At the same time, a pet skill [Mining] appears in the introduction: this is an excellent kobold miner, who can get 5% more stones than others when mining!

"5% more stones, how good is it if the ore?" Jia Zhengjin was a little disappointed, and took a closer look at the operation, there were three options on it: [Summoning Pets], [Starting Work], and [Keeping Pets].

"Interesting!" Jia Zhengjin clicked [Start Work].

【Message】Please select the resource that the kobold miner wants to mine.

"Of course it's iron ore!" Jia Zhengjin chose iron ore in the interface that popped up.

"Whew~~" Ash took the iron pickaxe, raised his head and shouted, and then walked out of the gate of the animal pen and ran away with a smoke.

Jia Zhengjin hurriedly chased after him, for fear that Xiao Ash would escape. It soon turned out that it had begun to work the iron ore resources closest to the corral with an iron pickaxe.

Jia Zhengjin stood on the side and watched for a while, and only then did he relax after making sure that Xiao Ash would not escape. It seems that collecting pets also has a virtual backpack, anyway, he saw that Xiao Ash smashed several rocks, and the resources disappeared in an instant, similar to himself.

【News】Kobold has been tamed successfully, please choose the direction of pet development!

After waiting for a while, the second kobold was successfully tamed and domesticated by Jia Zhengjin as a kobold miner. The kobold miner, named Blackie, was assigned a pickaxe and ran over to work hard with Ash.

It's just that compared to Xiao Gray, Xiao Hei doesn't have any additional pet skills at all, which seems a bit rubbish.

After supervising the mining of the two kobold miners for more than an hour, Jia Zhengjin found that they were tired and would go back to sleep in the animal cage. When he is hungry, he will return to the animal cage to eat meat, provided that Jia Zhengjin puts food in the trough. When you are thirsty, you will drink water from the nearest river.

Then, when the backpack is full, it will be carried back to the front of the pen and piled up.

The work efficiency of the two kobold miners is much faster than Jia Zhengjin's own! If you can upgrade the beast pen a few more times and domesticate more kobolds for resource collection, then you can concentrate on hunting and upgrading!

Wait for the tool table to be built first, and after you have made some of the necessities of life, let them collect them with all their strength and upgrade the animal pen!

"The kobold miners are in charge of mining, so I can do something else now!" Jia Zhengjin thought for a moment, "Tina is home alone every day, and it seems to be boring. She was in a daze except for sleeping, and she didn't dare to leave the house casually. It's always nestled in a small space, and it seems a little pitiful. But there isn't enough defense at the moment, it's too dangerous for her to run around! how can she not be bored and can move around freely...... That's right!"

Jia Zhengjin had a flash of inspiration, wouldn't it be better to build her a new house a little bigger? If the house is made taller, she can go upstairs to see the scenery and see herself at work when she is bored. Then make a bathtub in the house, and you can take a bath when you are bored. Make a simple slide so that she can play when she is bored.

Speaking of playing, Jia Zhengjin used various building materials in the game in his previous life to make a lot of amusement facilities. Slides, mazes, swings, horizontal bars and even entire amusement parks.

Of course, that requires the corresponding materials, and many materials are not available at the moment.

But it should be no problem to make her some of the simplest toys, or tools to kill time, and when you unlock more technology, you can also make her some things like looms, juicers, etc., and she can have her own things to do when she is not at home!

If you want to build a big house, you can't continue to make a simple matchbox, Jia Zhengjin has a lot of memories of the buildings in his previous life. He has built countless houses in the game, from matchboxes to villas to palaces, he can build almost anything he can imagine.
