Chapter 3 Forming a Trading Group

[Regional Chat Area:]

Fang Tai: I drew a broken bowl, hahaha! The system says it's an antique! It's very valuable! Waaaaaah!

Fang Tai: There's no food at all, I can't scoop it up or draw it, I'm starving to death, waaaaaah!

Mo Ming: I drew a fruit knife. I don't know if it's good or bad, but it should be pretty good.

Ou Mian: Hey hey, I got 4 steamed buns and a packet of pickled vegetables too.

Han Xunwen: The person upstairs is so lucky! They got food as soon as they arrived. I'm so envious.

Fang Tai: No wonder he has the surname Ou, he's so lucky. It makes me want to change my name.

Liu Bo: I got two packs of tissues. Anyone want to trade them? I just need something to eat. I didn't eat anything the day before I came here, and I can't take it anymore.

Muqi Meng: I only drew one nail, but I caught a few shrimp in the sea. The first-grade shrimp were as big as my palm, enough to fill my stomach. Everyone can try going into the sea.

Luo Xin: The person upstairs is right. The first three days are a newbie protection period, and you won't be attacked. If you don't stock up on food now, you'll have an even harder time later.

Liu Bo: But there's no fire, so we can't just eat it raw.

Fang Tai: Why not? Don't you usually eat sashimi raw?

……

Luo Qing was surprised that everyone's draws were so bad; a few steamed buns were considered a big deal.

Unfortunately, with the system's shop, I can only sell things to players via private messages. The nail that sticks out gets hammered down, and I'm not strong enough yet, so I shouldn't show myself for now.

However, if you plan to stay in the game long-term, finding a few teammates would be a good idea.

As Luo Qing pondered this, she lifted the net. It was so heavy! What had it caught that was moving around?

The next second, Luo Qing got her face washed by a fish tail.

A large fish appeared before them, a little longer than 1.5 meters, with a head as big as Luo Qing's head, and estimated to weigh forty or fifty kilograms.

The big fish was still thrashing about, trying to get back into the sea. Luo Qing stepped on the fish's head and saw that it still had a few teeth in its mouth.

[Level 2 fish, should they be separated?]

Luo Qing chose yes, and the next second, the fish under her feet disappeared.

[Congratulations to the player for splitting a level 2 fish, obtaining 40 catties of fish meat, 4 pieces of fish skin, 1 fish head, 3 catties of fish roe, and 4 poisonous fish teeth]

[Congratulations to player Luo Qing for becoming the first player in this region to kill a level 2 monster. Reward: 200 gold coins and 1 chance to draw a prize.]

You can choose whether to announce it in the game.

The answer was definitely no. A tall tree catches the wind, and Luo Qing is still just a nobody; she wouldn't dare challenge human nature. Even though everyone is currently isolated, hearing trash talk still really affects the mood.

Luo Qing was surprised that a level-two fish could be so big, since level-one fish are only about the size of a palm.

This fish should be considered a monster; those four poisonous fangs must be its special ability.

Level 1 is an ordinary animal, Level 2 is a monster, no wonder there's a splitting prompt.

The lottery button appeared before Luo Qing's eyes once again.

Luo Qing bowed and silently prayed, "A blanket, a blanket, I want a blanket..."

After completing the ritual, Luo Qing pressed the button.

Congratulations to the player who has won a bedding set x1!

The item is relatively large, and players can choose where to place it.

(Raft) (Backpack)

Luo Qing chose the backpack.

"As expected of someone with maxed-out luck, getting whatever they want is just too awesome."

Although there are four suns in the sky right now, the weather forecast shows it's only in the twenties, much colder than outside the game. If the temperature drops further tonight, I might catch a cold. There's no medicine available now; getting sick would be disastrous.

Luo Qing checked it and found that the set included a winter quilt and a super thick quilt, as well as pillows, mattress pads, and other essentials—otherwise, it wouldn't be called a set.

It looks like the temperature will drop significantly tonight, and it will drop even lower later in the game. After all, the system mentioned there will be extreme weather.

Luo Qing continued to fish, "Now I guess I'm a real gold digger."

She opened the chat area while scooping the food. There was no other way; without a phone, this was the only way to pass the time.

Luo Qing saw in the chat area that someone named Mu Qimeng suggested creating a trading group so that they could trade directly without going through the system store, which would be more convenient.

Some people below echoed and agreed, saying that everyone can post what they want to exchange for, and if others think it's acceptable, they can chat privately to trade.

So Mu Qimeng posted a group QR code, named "Trade Group," and said he was the group owner. He also stated that if people didn't want to chat privately with others, they could trade through him as an intermediary, and there were currently no transaction fees.

Luo Qing also joined the group and continued to lurk in the chat area.

This guy named Mu Qimeng has an amazing business mind. As the group owner and middleman, he essentially controls a large portion of the game's trading market.

As Luo Qing continued scooping, she scooped up three more level-one bubbles and one level-two bubble.

[3 steamed buns, 1 potato, 4 pairs of socks, 1 toothbrush and toothpaste set, 2 packets of pickled vegetables, 1 jar of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, 25 pieces of wood, 30 nails, 2 packs of sanitary napkins, 2 pieces of wood]

"Haha, although the bubble level is relatively low, there are still quite a lot of good stuff." Luo Qing was overjoyed as she looked at the new daily necessities she had acquired.

Luo Qing cut the potatoes into pieces, planted them in the soil in her space, and watered them.

"Luckily, I learned how to grow potatoes in elementary school, otherwise this potato would have been wasted."

Looking around at the plants that had been planted before, it was still impossible to tell what they were. One type was a climbing vine, and Luo Qing had built a trellis for them using sticks and nails. Another type looked a bit like wheat, but Luo Qing wasn't sure, since she only remembered a tiny bit of knowledge about it.

College students, all they do every day is eat, drink, sleep, and play on their phones; they've long forgotten all the scientific knowledge they learned before.

She might be able to solve a calculus problem, but she really wouldn't be able to solve a biology problem she'd encountered before.

The pink seed on the far right has now turned into a small pink sapling, and the halo surrounding its crown is more obvious, revealing its extraordinary nature.

Luo Qing organized her supplies.

[2 sets of sportswear, 1 pair of sports shoes, 3.5 bottles of mineral water, 9 steamed buns, 3 boxes of instant noodles, 5 wooden bowls, 22 pieces of wood, 26 nails, 1 section of rope, 2 planks, 3 sets of women's underwear, 5 packs of pickled vegetables, 1.5 packs of small bread rolls, 4 pairs of socks, 1 set of toothbrush and toothpaste, 1 jar of Lao Gan Ma chili sauce, 2 packs of sanitary napkins, 40 jin of fish meat, 4 pieces of fish skin, 1 fish head, 3 jin of fish roe, 4 poisonous fish teeth, 3 grade-one fish, 4 grade-one shrimp, 1 high-end kitchen set, 1 bedding set]

"The first day of the game has been quite fruitful," Luo Qing said happily.

On the other side, the baby-faced boy held the broken bowl he had drawn, pleading, "Please, God, give me something to eat."

Fang Tai can't swim, so he doesn't dare to go into the water. He hasn't gotten any food yet, so he drew a broken bowl and his stomach is growling with hunger.

"Luckily, Brother Mo was quite lucky." Fang Tai almost cried.

"Atai, I caught some fish and shrimp and cleaned them for you. Eat up."

Mo Ming sent over a seafood dish via private message.

"Thank you, Brother Mo. I'm so glad you're here. Waaah!" Fang Tai was deeply moved.

"Brother Mo, you're so good to me."

"We've known each other for so many years, if I'm not good to you, who else should I be good to? I just want to be good to you." Mo Ming smiled, but for some reason his ears turned red.
