crafting lessons

As Ames and I walk by the river bank he says "We are here for me to teach you how to identify rocks used for crafting such as flint, chert, and obsidian." he goes to pick up a rock

and comes back to me."You see this rock? this is flint it is durable and we use it for most of our tools.now I am going to show you how we craft spear heads."

After he says that we walk over to a large rock. he takes out a small leather square and an antler. using the square of leather to hold the flint. he strikes it with the antler chipping the Flint.as he continues to work on the flint making it small and giving it shape. I am watching and I hear the system notification.

[Ding! you have gained a skill!]

opening the notification.

As I finished reading the description of the skill ames finishes crafting the spearhead.

"That is how you make spearheads now it is time to show you how to make a shaft for it."

he gets up and walks a little bit into the jungle and comes back out holding a stick."Now we have the metal for the shaft. this is a piece of hardwood. There are two different woods soft and hard. we use hard wood to make spears because they last longer. now we need to remove this bark and get some sand."

He hands me a small piece of leather and tells me to go get sand from the edge of the river.

As I come back with the sand he has already removed the bark from the stick. handing the sandy leather to Ames. He then uses it to remove the ruff patches from the spear shaft.

after he finishes the sanding he takes out a small flint knife and makes a slit in an end of the shaft. he places the Flint spearhead in the slit and uses a piece of twine to tie the spearhead to the shaft. successfully crafting a flint spear.

'crafting is harder to level than I thought.

I should probably learn some combat skills like how to use a spear, punching and kicking.

maybe some stealth skills and tracking skills as well. that's going to be a challenge to do before I turn 21. but I have to try and get all the skills that are needed when I leave and venture out on my own when I get my immortality.'

=====================

time skip- 17 years

I turned 21 and I was preparing to leave for the mountains and start heading east. so I can be away from people for a couple hundred thousand years. Get new skills and grind them to the maximum possible. in around 400,000 years I will integrate back into humanity.

but as I haven't got my immortal yet i will look at my status page.
