Starting Off With Just A Tiny Bit Of Luck

Just as Yu Miaomiao picked up her phone to check the game link message, her vision went dark, and in the blink of an eye, she found herself inside a post-apocalyptic survival game — Desert Surviv...

Chapter 34 Desert Survival Day 6 (6) Unlocking the Auction House...

The zebra cat didn't seem to understand the meaning of the name. It looked at Yu Miaomiao for a while and meowed softly.

Yu Miaomiao understood it for a moment and took it as its agreement.

Yu Miaomiao pointed at the fire with his left hand, took out a piece of wolf meat with his right hand and asked, "Xiaoguai, do you still want to eat barbecued meat, or do you want to eat raw meat?"

After asking, she realized that there seemed to be something wrong with the way she asked the question, and Xiaoguai could not answer her in human language.

The next second, Yu Miaomiao saw Xiaoguai's tail suddenly exert force, raising the sand on the ground and putting out all the fire that Yu Miaomiao had just pointed at.

The power of the tail is so strong that it can lift up a pile of sand and rocks with just one sweep and put out the fire easily.

It turned out that it was not afraid of fire before, but it was too lazy to put out the fire.

In this situation, Yu Miaomiao deeply realized that she was no match for Xiaoguai at all.

After calming down her surprise, Yu Miaomiao threw out a piece of fresh wolf meat. "You can nod or shake your head, darling. You don't have to tell me this way."

I will be very scared, Yu Miaomiao said to herself.

Through the holographic effect, the extinguished fire shows a durability of 0, and things with a durability of 0 cannot be used anymore.

She was too lazy to order a bunch more. Anyway, if other animals came, Xiaoguai could help - at least that's what Yu Miaomiao thought now. If Xiaoguai wanted to do something to her, it would only take a few seconds.

After Xiaoguai swallowed the wolf meat that he had just jumped up to catch, he curled his hands under his head and closed his eyes to rest on the spot.

It's asleep, so can I sleep too? Yu Miaomiao stood up and carefully observed Xiaoguai's reaction.

She only saw its ears twitching, without opening its eyes, and she walked backwards step by step back to the door. When she gently closed the door, Xiaoguai opened his eyes, and when he saw her appear at the window again, he closed his eyes again.

It's going to keep a close eye on her.

Yu Miaomiao didn't dare leave the window for the time being, for fear that the zebra-striped cat would make some new moves. This would also be a good opportunity for her to observe what was happening outside.

Staring blankly was a bit boring, so Yu Miaomiao remembered the set of exercises - the tortoise breathing exercise.

She practiced twice, but there was no improvement in her personal panel values. She was already thinking of giving up. Since she was just waiting now, she might as well give it a try.

Open the interface of the skills and start following the lively little characters to practice each move.

Yu Miaomiao found that this exercise was more about teaching her how to adjust her breath, and how to adjust her breath during various movements.

For example, she also learned to squat down to regulate her breathing.

When she stood up again and made the next move, the zebra cat Xiaoguai who was lying in front of the fire had disappeared.

Cats can't become invisible or change color.

Yu Miaomiao leaned against the window and looked for a long time, but she didn't see the figure that looked like a tiger with black and white stripes, and she felt very strange.

Forget it, maybe it’s a good thing to leave, so I don’t have to be so scared.

But she didn't dare to sleep yet, for fear of being attacked by other wild beasts in the middle of the night. She stood at the window and practiced the Turtle Breathing Technique for a long time. She didn't close the technique interface until she had finished practicing the moves.

Hey, why is there a plus sign behind the value on her personal panel?

Does this mean that numerical points can be added?

But if she adds numerical points, how many can she add? This broken system doesn't even show how many points are left to add.

She saw her lowest value - wisdom, but there was no plus sign behind it. There were only plus signs behind her physical strength, power and agility. Was this intentional attempt to prevent her from increasing her wisdom quickly?

Thinking about how his stamina would drop quickly every time he fought monsters, Yu Miaomiao clicked on the plus sign behind the stamina value. The button disappeared and his stamina value increased by 1 point.

Does it mean that after practicing a move, you can freely allocate the numerical points on your personal panel?

So, will practicing martial arts help with resource search? Yu Miaomiao couldn't wait to open the resource search interface.

The progress bar above the map only changed after killing the glowing three-headed wolf, but now, there is no change.

Forget it, at least my lowest personal value can be increased, which is a good thing.

However, practicing this technique requires extremely high concentration. One has to pay attention to the situation outside the house while concentrating. Yu Miaomiao felt very tired and her eyelids began to droop.

There were no new wild beasts nearby for the time being, but she was not sure whether her cabin could withstand the various monsters that might suddenly appear in the middle of the night.

After thinking about it, since she had already gathered all the materials for reinforcing the cabin today, it would be a good opportunity to reinforce the cabin so that she could sleep peacefully.

After thinking about it, he clicked the 'wrench' button in the system interface and tapped the 'synthesis' button behind the cabin reinforcement device.

The shadow of the construction hammer in the backpack appeared in the corner of the room and started hammering at the corner of the wall. The scrap iron, wood, screws and nylon cloth in the backpack decreased by the corresponding amount at the same time.

After knocking the four corners, the construction hammer ran outside the house. Before Miaomiao opened the window and stuck her head out, the entire reinforcement process was over.

Yu Miaomiao looked around and saw that the cabin had not changed at all. It had not grown bigger and the wooden boards were still wooden boards. She walked out of the cabin carefully, feeling a little unwilling to give up.

I saw that the four walls of the cabin were covered with a layer of nylon cloth, and the roof had an arched roller shutter to protect against the rain.

She didn't dare to investigate further late at night. After returning to the house, she knocked around with her hands before reluctantly admitting the fact.

That’s all there is to reinforcing a cabin.

She had very little scrap metal to begin with, and after all the hard work, this was all she had?

That’s it?

Yu Miaomiao looked at the formula in the synthesis guide. This thing could be synthesized repeatedly. They were not treating the survivors' resources as "money".

Lying in bed, looking out the window, the fire outside was still burning, and the quiet and safe night didn't seem so bad.

After calming down, Yu Miaomiao contacted Pipi again.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is Pipi ready to exchange supplies now? I want scrap iron and copper ingots."

Yu Miaomiao continued to practice the tortoise breathing technique and waited for a while before receiving her reply.

"Is Pipi here? Huh? Now, Sister Miaomiao, are you in a hurry to make a weapon? I can lend it to you."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: No need, can I exchange my slime with you?"

Yu Miaomiao thought for a while, thinking that although this cabin reinforcement device seemed useless at the moment, and the primary storage box and simple barbecue grill were of no help to her, she always remembered one thing: this system would not give the survivors any useless things.

Therefore, after completing these three items, the unlocked function must be the most useful one. Thinking of this, she simply went all out and sent a message to Pipi, who was good at mining ores.

"Is Pipi here? Okay, I can, but I only have scrap metal. I'll have to ask Xiaozhi for the copper ingots. How would you like to exchange the scrap metal?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Can I exchange 3 portions of slime for 9 pieces of scrap metal?"

At least 4-5 pieces of scrap metal can be exchanged for slime outside. Yu Miaomiao has a lot of slime, and she is now eager to know what she will get after completing the items in the synthesis guide.

"Is Pipi here? Of course, this is purely a friendly exchange. I'll ask for the copper ingots for you. How much do you want?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I want to exchange one portion of slime for two copper ingots. Please."

"Is Pipi here? Okay, leave it to me."

Yu Miaomiao wanted to initiate a transaction, but was rejected by Pipi. He must have gone to chat privately on his behalf.

For some reason, she felt a little bit of anticipation in her heart. Perhaps it was because the previous reinforcement of the wooden house had brought her a lot of disappointment, so she placed her hopes on new things.

While waiting, Yu Miaomiao stood by the window and observed the situation outside the house.

No new wild animals arrived, and the simple fence not far away was still intact. She planned to plant pomelo seedlings and wheat in it tomorrow.

Half an hour later, Pippi finally sent a message.

"Is Pipi here? Sister Miaomiao, sorry for the delay. I just dealt with a wild beast here. I've already got something for you in exchange. Let's trade."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Thank you, are you not hurt?"

"Is Pipi here? No, thanks to your experience, I was able to get rid of that stupid rooster, oh, turkey, in no time."

After trading the slime, Yu Miaomiao looked forward to the "Synthesis" button behind the primary storage box.

The Construction Hammer appears again in Holographic Effects.

I saw it knocking a piece of scrap iron into two long and two short pieces of iron in the air, and then using screws to knock it into a rectangular box.

Then he knocked on one of the surfaces a few times, and a copper lock appeared inside.

There was an extra box in the backpack. Yu Miaomiao took it out. It was an iron box less than 10 cm long, which looked small and sturdy.

The box is half open and empty inside. There is a 6-digit combination lock on the lock. After setting it up, just press the buckle to complete the setting.

After following the instructions to set the password, Yu Miaomiao tried to store a card in it. After confirming that the function was normal, she placed it in a corner of the room and continued to synthesize the next item.

The construction hammer came out again, smashing the scrap iron blocks in the air to form a four-corner bracket, and then used the remaining scrap iron blocks to knock into a box-shaped iron frame box, nailed it with screws, and the simple barbecue grill was built.

This construction hammer can really hit everything.

Before Miaomiao could take out the barbecue grill, she heard the system sound.

[System Notice: Congratulations to player Miaomiao for not lacking water and completing the novice task (3)]

[System notification: You have unlocked the auction house function.]

Previous notifications came relatively slowly, but I didn’t expect them to come so quickly tonight.

Yu Miaomiao wondered if too many players had triggered system notifications before, causing the system to lag.

But what is the function of the auction house? Yu Miaomiao clicked on the [Auction House] column next to the forum button.

In the new interface, there are two sub-pages on the left, one is [My Auction House] and the other is [All Auction Houses]; the right side displays the system backpack.

In 'My Auction House', there are five rows of selling slots, each with 10 grids, which seem to be where items can be placed.

At the end of each column there is a [Sell] button

Yu Miaomiao tried to drag the slime onto it and got a line of red text reminder.

[Please do not place slime in the auction column.]

Slime can’t be sold?
