Chapter 5 Desert Survival Day 2 (3) Repairing the Umbrella is Imperative...

Yu Miaomiao was standing next to the workbench, holding an umbrella in her left hand. She selected "Tools/Weapons" on the roulette wheel with her right hand and saw the formula for making a stone pickaxe.

[Stone Pickaxe*1=Wood (1/1), Stone (0/1), String (0/1)]

She didn't have either of these things, but the string also had a crafting formula in the 'Materials' section on the workbench.

String*2=Palm Leaf (0/1)

Unexpectedly, making a stone pickaxe would be so troublesome. Yu Miaomiao had no choice but to send a message to "Is Pipi here?"

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I have learned the crafting process of stone pickaxe. It requires 1 piece of wood, 1 piece of stone and 1 piece of string. The string can be synthesized with palm leaves. Currently, I only have wood."

"Is Pipi here? I'm desperately short of wood. Can I trade you some stones for wood? I don't have any string, but I might have some palm leaves. Please wait a moment."

Yu Miaomiao was puzzled. This man obviously had a lot of scrap metal, so why didn't he make a workbench himself? It turned out that he was short of wood.

And this "Is Pipi here?" sounds like it involves a lot of rocks. What else can be found? Can palm leaves also be opened? It turns out that what each person opens is so different.

Less than two minutes later, Yu Miaomiao received another message from this person.

"Is Pipi here? Anyone who can get palm leaves needs to exchange them for water or food. I don't have any extra."

Got it? Is there any special way to get this thing? She had just arrived in the apocalypse and knew very little about it, and she hadn't seen anyone mention this.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Is it convenient for me to ask where you get the rocks and palm leaves? It's okay if it's not convenient."

"Is Pipi here?: It's okay, it's not really a secret. Starting today, there might be a small resource point near where everyone lands. For example, near where I am, there are a few scattered rocks, and next to the person with the palm fronds, there happens to be a palm tree."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I see people in the world saying, there are no plants nearby?"

"Is Pipi here? There must be no edible plants. The leaves of that palm tree are so tall that you need to hit the trunk several times before a leaf falls off."

I see. Then what's near her?

I looked around and saw nothing but small pieces of sand and gravel. Could it be this small stone?

Yu Miaomiao tried to pick up a small piece of gravel, but found that it could not be stored in the backpack, let alone exchanged.

There are currently four steamed buns in the backpack, so Yu Miaomiao had to return to the temporary dialog box.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I don't have much wood either, do you want to exchange it for a lot of stones?"

"Is Pipi here? Ah, no, I picked up ten bucks around here, not that much."

Since the stones were picked up, why did this person want to make a stone pickaxe so much? If it was so useful, shouldn't she make one too?

"Meow Meow is not short of water: If there are no palm leaves, this stone pickaxe cannot be made now."

"Is Pipi here?: Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I just got this blueprint and remembered that I've played digging in other games before, so I wanted to try using a stone pickaxe to dig out extra stones or something else."

Yes, if there are no special resources on the land, there may be some underground. Since there is the blueprint for a stone pickaxe, Yu Miaomiao also wants to make one.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Can you please ask me if 1 steamed bun can be exchanged for 5 palm leaves? If so, you can use the stone to exchange for the string I made."

"Is Pipi here? Really? That's great, I'll ask."

Now that the sun is at its highest, Yu Miaomiao can only move the mat to the door of the wooden house, lean the umbrella against the wall of the house, and use her body to prevent the umbrella from falling, so as to avoid feeling so tired.

I don’t know if there is some thermal insulation material inside the wooden house, but it is obviously hotter inside the wooden house than outside. Yu Miaomiao is even more determined to repair the broken umbrella.

It wasn't long before I received new news again.

"Is Pipi here? Do you have extra water? He asked if he could exchange 10 palm leaves for a steamed bun and half a bottle of water."

Yu Miaomiao had no idea about current prices and thought 10 pieces were quite a lot, so she agreed.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: OK."

After she answered, the transaction request came immediately. Seeing the 10 palm leaves placed on it, she wondered if these things originally belonged to Pipi?

Yu Miaomiao placed the water on the trading column, and after confirmation, 10 palm leaves and 3 stones appeared in her backpack.

Without further ado, she returned to the original workbench holding an umbrella, selected the 'thin rope' and began to make it. Following the instructions, her hands rubbed up and down involuntarily, and a rope gradually took shape.

A minute later, two ropes appeared in the backpack and a palm leaf disappeared.

Then she chose 'Stone Pickaxe' again.

After starting, Yu Miaomiao found that this production required both hands, so she could only put the umbrella aside temporarily and follow the instructions.

First, cut the wood into a cylindrical shape, use tools to grind the round stone into a cone, and then tie it with a rope.

During the production process, she could even feel the changes in the object in her hands, which was magical.

Yu Miaomiao hurriedly opened her umbrella and heard the familiar system voice again.

[Successfully trigger the Lucky trait, synthesize 3 stone pickaxes.]

Three? ?

Yu Miaomiao always thought that her lucky trait was doubling the items or getting something special, but she didn't expect it to be twice as much.

I looked at the time and found that it took me five minutes to make a stone pickaxe. No wonder I felt dizzy after working for so long under the scorching sun.

I took out half a bottle of water and drank it all in one gulp. The cold taste slightly relieved the irritability caused by the scorching heat.

After sitting for a long time, the swelling in his head gradually disappeared, and Yu Miaomiao sent a message about the exchange.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I'm ready, click me to trade."

"Is Pipi here? Okay."

After giving him a stone pickaxe, Yu Miaomiao took out one from his backpack and tried to dig into the ground, and found that it was quite heavy.

"Is Pipi here? Could you please make two more? I'll pay you for the labor. As for the materials, can you continue to exchange the string for the stones?"

Labor fee? This is a good option, but it’s too hot now. If Yu Miaomiao continues to be exposed to the sun, she might get heatstroke.

"Meow Meow: Sure, are you in a hurry? I can only do it later. It's too hot now, and I tried the chisel, but it wouldn't move. Are you sure you want to do two more?"

After making the stone pickaxe, Yu Miaomiao only tried it roughly twice and had no idea what it was used for. Now he was too hot to sit down.

Although she had two swords, one of them had been used twice by her and its durability had decreased a little, so she couldn't trade it away.

"Is Pipi here? I tried digging, but I don't have enough energy and it's hot. I'm going to wait until it's cooler before trying again. My classmates heard about it and want one. What materials do you want as payment?"

Classmates? Could it be that someone was teleported to a place where they were not alone, but with several people?

She just thought about it in her mind but didn't ask.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I need to pay for the labor in flax or flax leaves, and plastic blocks. This is too laborious."

"Is Pipi here? Is it necessary to use flax leaves? We don't have that stuff. Is anything else okay?"

"Meow meow, there's no shortage of water: nylon cloth will do."

"Is Pipi here? I did have a classmate who sold some nylon cloth, but it's all she has. I guess she'd rather keep it to exchange for food and water. I'll go ask her."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Good."

According to what he said about "going to ask", their classmates should not be in the same place, but it would be nice to have a few familiar classmates coming into this apocalypse at the same time, so that they can help each other.

Yu Miaomiao hopes that her best friend will have an easier time if she enters another server.

After she had almost recovered, the other party sent her another message.

"Is Pipi here? The student who wants the stone pickaxe said they can share some food with the students who have nylon cloth, but she's still short of water. Water is becoming increasingly scarce, so I guess she can't make it. Please help."

Yu Miaomiao also posted information on the world channel about exchanging nylon cloth or its production materials, but no one paid attention to her. Most people were asking for water.

The weather was getting hotter and hotter. As time went by, it became more and more difficult for her to hold the umbrella. Looking at the broken umbrella above her head, she decided to "cut her water" in exchange for this nylon cloth.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: I need 2 nylon cloths. If you have them, I can give you half a bottle of water and also make you 2 stone pickaxes."

"Is Pipi here? Wow, you can actually make some water. That's amazing. She'll definitely agree."

"Meow Meow is not short of water: It's too hot here, I have to use nylon cloth. Don't tell the others that you exchanged things with me, even if it's just a nickname."

"Is Pipi here?: Okay, okay, I didn't say anything. I understand the rules:)"

Since emojis cannot be sent on the chat interface, he still used symbols to make a smiley face in response.

Yu Miaomiao continued to watch the world channel. She hadn't received any news from "Pipi" for a long time. She wondered if there was anyone in nylon cloth who was unwilling to change.

She hadn't seen anyone in the world say that their umbrella was broken. Could it be that she had triggered some unlucky trait, so she received an umbrella with a hole in it.

"Is Pipi here? Sorry, my classmate refused to give me the item first. She said she would post '19' three times on the world channel. If you'd like, just click on her to talk. But my classmate is a very good person, and she's very cautious. I don't think she would leak your information."

Before, Yu Miaomiao was still wondering why all the classmates in "Is Pipi Here?" trusted him so much and were willing to give him their things first. It turned out that there were still some unwillingness.

Sure enough, someone on the world channel posted a message saying '19', and his ID nickname was 'Is Lulu here?'

The umbrella had to be repaired. Yu Miaomiao really couldn't hold it up. When this person sent the number '19' for the second time, she opened a temporary dialog box.

"Meow Meow is not short of water: Nylon cloth for water? "

"Is Lulu here? Okay."

As the message is received, a transaction request is sent simultaneously.

How urgent is this?

After the transaction was confirmed, half a bottle of water was missing and two nylon cloths were added.

No matter how hot it is now, Yu Miaomiao must fix this umbrella now, immediately, and right away.

After placing the umbrella on the repair table and clicking 'Repair', Yu Miaomiao took a small hammer and followed the instructions to knock it twice left and right, and the umbrella was repaired.

When I took the umbrella out of the repair station, it was like a new one.
