However, when it comes to guiding routes, it is still sufficient.
After putting the Nine-Level Map into his bag, Yun Yi began to check what other items he needed to carry: a pickaxe and an Iron Axe. If it were just an ordinary pickaxe and Iron Axe, they wouldn't particularly catch the attention of someone like Yun Yi. However, this time he was preparing to bring along a pickaxe and Iron Axe that were enhanced with special magical properties.
Recently, after three consecutive days of fishing, he had obtained over fifty Enchantment Books. Among them, he found two that perfectly matched the pickaxe and Iron Axe: one was the Durability Efficiency enchantment, and the other was the Experience Repair Efficiency enchantment. Both were extremely valuable.
The Durability enchantment could increase the lifespan of tools, but this wasn't a rare trait; an Iron Anvil could also repair a tool's durability. The Efficiency enchantment was the most crucial aspect. The Efficiency enchantment had only one purpose: to accelerate digging or chopping speed.
This Enchanted Book of Magic was divided into five levels, from one to five. As the level increased, the speed boost would grow exponentially. For example, a Level One Efficiency could double the speed, while Level Five Efficiency could increase it by up to five times. In other words, if a pickaxe or Iron Axe were enchanted with a powerful Efficiency Enchanted Book, the only factor that might hinder the operator's work speed would be their hand speed. Even when facing a Diamond Mine, they could almost extract resources instantaneously.
Experience Repair was also a practical feature. Especially when mining coal seams, it could automatically repair the tool's durability by collecting experience from the ore drops, essentially providing infinite durability.
However, it was precisely because both Enchanted Books had outstanding effects that Yun Yi found himself in a dilemma: should he apply them separately to the Iron Axe and the pickaxe, or concentrate all their power on the pickaxe? After some consideration, Yun Yi ultimately decided to forgo the Enchanted Book for the Iron Axe, choosing instead to focus both magical books' powers on the pickaxe.
In the game, it might be more suitable to enhance the Iron Axe and pickaxe separately, but due to the high similarity in effects of these two Enchanted Armors, he opted for a more concentrated strategy. Steve could only operate one tool with one hand at a time. If he were to enhance all the enchantments on the pickaxe, it would seem a bit extravagant.
However, in reality, the situation was entirely different; tools could be wielded with both hands. If Yun Yi possessed a pair of enchanted pickaxes, he could easily hold one in each hand. This would effectively double his digging speed.
Moreover, the reason for choosing to apply all the Enchanted Books to the pickaxe was simple: cutting down trees did not rely heavily on tools. Although the Iron Axe had a level five Efficiency boost, it only slightly increased the speed of chopping wood. This was primarily due to the qualitative difference between logging and mining.
When mining, the target was clear—just find Iron Ore and dig with full force. The more efficient one was, the quicker the progress; however, logging was different. Trees were usually spaced apart, and the actual time spent chopping wood was relatively small compared to the time spent running to the next tree.
Additionally, there was another variable in the real world: gravity's influence. In the game, even if players cut down the Tree Base ahead of time, the upper Tree Trunk would not fall; it would float in mid-air. But in reality, cutting a tree from bottom to top would inevitably cause it to fall.
